Unfortunately, Jiraiya eventually left Konoha, leaving behind only the words, "Please take care of Naruto in the village. I'll come back to visit when I have time," before leaving Konoha without looking back.

Standing by the window, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently tapped his pipe, letting some ash drift in the wind. Watching Jiraiya's figure disappear into the distance, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

I might have to disappoint Jiraiya. Naruto is not only the Fourth Hokage's child, but also the ultimate hidden power in Konoha. This child's growth may have to go through some hardships in the future.

With that in mind, he returned to his desk, put away a document he had reviewed, and began a new round of work.

With too many Jonin and Special Jonin lost in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi plans to implement a rotation system for all Genin teams except those with exceptionally high potential, instead of assigning fixed Jonin leaders, until enough Chunin accumulate enough merit to be promoted to Jonin.

Just then, a guard carrying documents pushed open the door and entered. A gust of cold air blew in from the window, blowing away the documents that Hiruzen Sarutobi had just finished reviewing and placed beside him.

After the rustling sound of papers turning, the document came to rest on the last report summary.

Subject of investigation: Name: Aoki Chiba, a member of the Senju bloodline, whose appearance is very similar to the Second Hokage.

Tests have shown that this person's chakra level is exactly the same as that of an ordinary Senju clan member. Their innate chakra attributes are wind and earth, and they do not have the basic conditions to enable Wood Release. There is also no abnormal vitality in their cells.

Without external intervention, there is no possibility of it carrying the Wood Release technique.

The final signature was Orochimaru.

-----------------

On the other side, Qianyu, unaware that her bloodline had been deemed ordinary, pushed open the courtyard gate as usual and returned home, then calmly closed the gate.

Ignoring her slightly trembling hands, Qianyu walked into the room and put down and opened the package behind her.

The package contained only some pastries that teenagers like to eat, and a few tens of thousands of taels of pocket money. It wasn't a lot, but it was equivalent to the reward for an ordinary C-level mission.

Then came a black box. Qianyu pricked her finger, made a hand seal, and gently pressed it on. The box immediately opened automatically to both sides.

This is an alarm device. If you try to open it with brute force or sealing magic, the items inside will be destroyed immediately, and all you will get is a broken wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, five palm-sized ninjutsu scrolls came into view. Chiba placed them together with the ninjutsu scrolls that Jiraiya had given to Granny Momoka, and then began to browse through them one by one.

"Rank B Ninjutsu, Super Strength Fist", "Rank B Ninjutsu, Needle Jizo", "Rank B Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Pressure Damage", "Rank B Ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet", "Rank S Ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Severing Wave", "Rank A Ninjutsu, Dark Travel Technique".

Granny Momoka prepared the ninjutsu for Chiba based on the actual amount of chakra in his body. These were all unique ninjutsu that ordinary ninjas could not learn after promotion, unless they made great contributions and could learn them from the Book of Seals.

However, ninjutsu with a distinct personal style, such as "Super Strength Fist" and "Needle Jizo," cannot be learned without the personal instruction of the user. This shows that Tsunade had some respect for Chiba, otherwise she would not have put her signature ninjutsu in the wooden box.

These ninjutsu are enough to be trump cards, not to mention for special Jonin, even for elite Jonin. Although some of these ninjutsu cannot be revealed for the time being, or rather, Chiyu is not qualified to learn them yet, this still makes Chiyu feel that she is surrounded by happiness.

However, these were not the main attractions. These ninjutsu only occupied half of the wooden box, while the other half was covered by specially made cloth. When Chiyu leaned closer, she could even smell the medicine.

Based on the ninjutsu she demonstrated to Granny Momoka, Chiba roughly guessed what was recorded inside.

A few minutes later, he looked at the huge cloth spread out at his feet, a hint of excitement flashing across his face. It really was this technique.

"S-rank ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique (incomplete)"

That's right, this is the space-time technique created by the Second Hokage and later popularized by the Fourth Hokage in the Third Shinobi World War. When that yellow figure appeared on the battlefield, even the current A-B duo of Kumogakure could only retreat in defeat, and even forced other ninja villages to issue an extremely humiliating order: when encountering Minato Namikaze, one could choose to abandon the mission and would not be considered a mission failure.

Such an order is unimaginable among this group of brainwashed ninjas. The best example is Konoha's sharpest blade, Hatake Sakumo. It is conceivable that after the news of his suicide spread, the Kage of other villages would be overjoyed and drink a few more cups.

Of course, the unlucky Mizukage of Kirigakure doesn't count.

What pleased Qianyu the most was that he could actually understand the complex runes on the cloth, although he only understood about one-tenth of them. But this proved that he had outstanding spatial talent.

Thinking of this, Qianyu didn't rush to study the runes on the cloth. Instead, she carefully folded it up and put it back into the wooden box along with the Water Release: Water Severing Wave and the A-rank illusion technique Dark Walk.

At this moment, Chiyu knew that he couldn't bite off more than he could chew, and that it was most important to ensure his own survival first. If he wasn't mistaken, as the village recovered from the trauma of the war, they, the genin, would also be sent out to carry out missions.

After taking care of everything here, Chiyu went out to find Uchiha Tsuki and Iruka, and then the three of them would go to Konoha's training grounds to train together.

-----------------

On the other side, in the Hokage's office, which was still filled with white smoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the documents in his hand to the figure standing in front of the desk.

"We are all saddened by Minato's sudden passing, but for the future of Konoha, we who are still alive must continue to move forward. Your mission is expected to be completed in two days. After a few days of rest, you will be in charge of this genin team."

Genma Shiranui's eyes flashed with unconcealed grief. After taking the documents, he carefully looked through them, while Hiruzen Sarutobi continued speaking across from him.

"Your main purpose this time is to assess them during the mission. This is also the first task for all the team leaders. After the Third Shinobi World War and the Nine-Tails' attack, many teams were scattered. At this time, we need to reorganize them, select key trainees, and quickly make them the backbone of Konoha to alleviate the current predicament of the village."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe and slowly exhaled, further reducing visibility in the Hokage's office.

Genma Shiranui had no complaints about the Third Hokage's arrangement. He was the Fourth Hokage's personal guard, not the Third Hokage's, so naturally he couldn't stay in the Hokage Building.

So he nodded, put the documents away, and planned to meet his subordinates after the mission was completed. However, the fact that the Uchiha and Senju clans were both in his team aroused his curiosity.
