Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The words "Thank goodness you're not on the battlefield" spoken that night were like a seed that quietly sprouted in Qianxuan's heart.

He didn't know how much of that sentence was sympathy, how much was guilt, or something else entirely.

But the next morning, when Tsunade appeared at the dining table with dark circles under her eyes and still looking sleepy, Sengen could still sense a hint of unease in her deliberately evasive gaze.

Jingyin was busy setting out the dishes and chopsticks, occasionally stealing glances at the two of them with a strange expression.

The atmosphere in the room had become somewhat awkward because of last night's rather uninformed conversation.

Just then.

Swish.

Two masked figures appeared in the courtyard with a whoosh.

"Sakuya Sengen, the Hokage summons you urgently."

The voices from the shadows remained as cold and emotionless as ever.

Tsunade's chopsticks stopped in mid-air. She looked up at the two ANBU members, her brows furrowed tightly.

Another emergency summons.

During wartime, these four words are often associated with death.

Qianxuan put down his bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up.

"understood."

He put on the green Chunin vest, walked to the door, changed his shoes, and prepared to leave.

"Feed".

Tsunade's voice came from behind.

Qian Xuan turned around and saw that she had also stood up, arms crossed, with her usual proud expression on her face, but in her eyes, there was a trace of worry that even she herself did not notice.

Go early and come back early.

she says.

Qianxuan looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"What, worried about me?"

Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately turned her head to the side.

"Who...who's worried about you! I'm just afraid you'll die out there, and no one will pay back my IOU for fifty thousand taels!"

"Oh?"

Qianxuan walked back to her step by step, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a low voice.

"Should I write you another IOU for 100,000 taels? That way you'll be more worried about me."

The warm breath brushed past her ear, and Tsunade's body stiffened, her ears turning red at a visible speed.

"Get out!"

Enraged, she raised her hand to throw a punch.

Qianxuan grabbed her wrist first, without using much force, just holding it gently.

He looked into her eyes, those eyes that always carried a hint of weariness, but now they were filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

"rest assured."

He let go and straightened his collar.

"I promised myself I would live to a ripe old age. And..."

He paused, and the corner of his mouth curved into a somewhat frivolous smile.

"I will live on and on, because I still want to marry you."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Tsunade's completely red face, turned around, and strode away with the Anbu.

In the courtyard, only Tsunade and Shizune remained.

Seeing her master's distraught appearance, Jingyin spoke softly.

"Lady Tsunade...he just said...he wants to marry you?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and yelled at Shizune.

"He's talking nonsense! What does a little brat like you know! Eat your food! That won't shut you up!"

She angrily sat back down at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and found that her hands were trembling slightly.

……

The Hokage's office.

When Qianxuan walked in, he immediately felt the heavy, almost suffocating atmosphere in the room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his desk, a pipe dangling from his mouth but not lit, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Minato Namikaze stood to the side, his expression more serious than he had ever seen before.

Behind Minato stood his three disciples.

Kakashi Hatake, who had just been promoted to Jonin, still had a cold and aloof demeanor, but now exuded an aura of battlefield presence.

Obito Uchiha stood next to him, his hands in his pockets, trying to put on an indifferent expression, but his slightly trembling legs betrayed his inner nervousness.

Nohara Rin stood at the back, her hands clasped in front of her, her face full of worry.

The water gate crew is all present.

In addition to myself.

Qianxuan's heart skipped a beat.

He had a bad feeling.

"Qianxuan, you've arrived."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, gesturing for him to stand next to Minato's team.

Qianxuan did as he was told and stood next to Obito.

Obito glanced at him furtively, then quickly turned his head back, seemingly a little afraid of him.

"Everyone is here."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was hoarse and heavy.

"The reason I've summoned you here is because there's an S-level emergency mission that I need you to complete."

S-rank mission.

Obito and Rin both paused in their breathing.

"As you know, Iwagakure has fully invaded the Land of Grass, and the situation on the front lines is not optimistic."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to a point within the Land of Grass.

"The supplies from Iwagakure are constantly being transported to the front lines through their supply lines. We must cut off this supply line to turn the tide of the war."

He picked up a red pen and drew a circle on the map.

"According to intelligence, the most important supply transport point for Iwagakure is located here."

"Kaminobi Bridge".

When those four words came out of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, Sengen felt his blood almost freeze in that instant.

Kannabi Bridge...

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge!

The "death" of Obito Uchiha, the origin of Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan, Rin being implanted with the Three-Tails...

Countless future tragedies will originate from this place.

He always thought he could avoid these damn plot twists, live a peaceful life, and then win Tsunade's heart.

But now, fate, like an invisible hand, has forcefully pushed him to the very center of this crucial and deadly vortex.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice continued.

"Minato Namikaze will serve as the commander-in-chief for this mission."

"Minato, you will lead Sakuya Chigen to the front lines to launch a feint attack and draw away the enemy's main force."

"While you draw the enemy's attention, Kakashi Hatake will lead a surprise attack team, consisting of Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, to infiltrate behind enemy lines and carry out the final demolition mission."

"Mission objective: Completely destroy the Kannabi Bridge!"

"This is the crucial battle that will determine the outcome of the battle on the Grass Country front; only victory is acceptable, defeat is not an option!"

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Kakashi, Obito, and Rin all felt immense pressure due to this sudden and heavy responsibility.

Only Qian Xuan's mind was completely blank.

His gaze, uncontrollably, fell on Uchiha Obito beside him.

This boy, who still looks nervous, is dreaming of becoming a hero.

During this mission, he is about to have half of his body crushed by a boulder, and then watch his beloved girl die at the hands of his best friend.

Ultimately, he fell into darkness and became the masked man who stirred up the entire ninja world.

Qianxuan's hands were clenched into fists inside his sleeves.

He felt his throat was a little dry.
