Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.

"Earth Release: Earth Returns!"

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"

In the cool morning breeze of the courtyard, Chiba looked at the effects of the Earth Release ninjutsu he had just unleashed, and then sensed the amount of chakra remaining in his body, a smile appearing on his lips.

Extracting chakra and using ninjutsu is the only hobby that Chiyu has enjoyed since coming to this world; his extraordinary power is truly fascinating.

The lineage of Qianyu began with his grandfather, whose bloodline of the Mori clan was already mixed. Qianyu's grandmother was just an ordinary person.

By the time it came to Chiyu's generation, he only had "Earth" and "Wind" chakra left in his body, indicating that he still had a trace of forest blood.

His parents, who passed away early, left behind only some Earth Release scrolls as a legacy. After careful selection, Qian Yu mastered only three types, or rather, only these three met his cultivation requirements.

However, Chiyu believes he should take another chakra attribute test if he has the chance, as the increased richness of his bloodline should bring about changes in his chakra attribute.

*Slap!* *Slap!* *Slap!*

A burst of applause broke the silence in the courtyard. Qianyu turned around and saw three figures slowly walking in.

"Grandpa Yunhua, it's been a long time."

Standing before Qianyu was a kind old man. His name was not particularly noticeable, and he did not seem to have any pressure from those in positions of power. However, Qianyu knew that the man's identity was not simple.

By chance, Chiyu learned from her grandfather that the other person had an older sister named "Senju Momoka".

"Chiyu, it's been a while. Your ninjutsu has improved quite a bit. You released two C-rank ninjutsu in a row without even breaking a sweat. Your chakra is growing very fast. Not bad, not bad."

As she spoke, Senju Unka raised her wrinkled right hand and patted Senyu's shoulder. As if sensing something, a look of relief flashed in her eyes.

"Grandpa Yunhua, I have to go on a mission now, so I'll take my leave first. Grandpa is resting in the back, so please go ahead."

After saying this, Qianyu bowed and prepared to leave.

"Little Chiyu, wait a minute."

Senju Unka, who had called out to Senyu, took the lunchbox from the attendant and placed it in Senyu's hands.

"A ninja's body is key to training and refining chakra. You need to be well-fed to train better. Go."

After accepting the package, Qianyu bowed, thanked her, and turned to leave.

Looking at Qian Yu's thin back, Qian Shou Yun Hua's face showed a hint of guilt.

The Senju clan has now integrated into Konoha, which has led to its massive size. Currently, the clan has emptied its savings and can only distribute a small amount of supplies to each family. It is already a great effort to ensure that no one dies.

When the Senju clan split up, they already bleed heavily to compensate those who gave up the Senju surname. After that, things went from bad to worse, and the clan's resources were really running out.

Hopefully, Hiruzen Sarutobi can reach an agreement with the other ninja clans soon.

Thinking of that "Renxiong", Senju Yunhua could only shake his head and walk towards the backyard.

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

Walking down the street, looking at the shattered houses around him, Qianyu lowered his head and sealed the bento box in his hand into a miniature scroll. This was one of his little talents; he understood spatial sealing techniques very quickly.

Just as Qianyu was about to go to the rendezvous point to receive his mission, a series of cries came from behind a collapsed building on the street corner, freezing him in place.

Hearing the child's cries, a look of struggle flashed in Qianyu's eyes. She lifted her foot to continue forward, but as the crying grew louder, she couldn't help but kick the pebbles next to her.

"This damned compassion, I'll die from it one day!"

As Qianyu blamed herself, she turned and walked toward the direction of the crying.

"Don't cry, brother is here." Dou, who was only a little boy with glasses, had a surprisingly calm voice. His white bangs hung down neatly, and he was holding a baby girl in his right hand.

Beside him, seven or eight toddlers were gathered closely around him. These were orphans who had been rescued from the surrounding area since the disaster three days ago and were placed in this temporary tent.

Kabuto, who came from an orphanage, was assigned to temporarily take care of them. The other adults were assigned to repair the damaged Konoha, and the remaining women had to do some logistical work such as washing clothes and cooking.

Just as Kabuto was looking at the hungry eyes of the children around him, his own stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and Kabuto's eyes darkened.

The sudden "snap" made Kabuto's eyes sharpen instantly, and he reached behind his back with his left hand, where a kunai was hidden.

Kabuto stared intently at the white-haired boy approaching from the front. Although the boy was about the same age as him, the headband on the boy's forehead told him that he was a ninja.

Chiba, who did not recognize the other party as the future dream-fulfilling master "Yakushi Kabuto" at all, stopped five meters away when she saw the wariness in the other party's eyes.

Then, under Kabuto's puzzled gaze, Chiba pulled out an extra-large bento box, untied the layers of restraints, and revealed its luxurious contents.

The sushi, golden tempura, tamagoyaki, fried chicken nuggets, and a serving of mixed grain rice instantly stopped the crying of many children present, who involuntarily drooled as they looked at the bento box in Chiyu's hand.

Chiba didn't say anything, but took two sushi pieces from inside, put the rest on a rock, and then turned and left.

Watching the other person's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Dou realized that he had misunderstood them. The other person was probably a kind person like the Dean, perhaps just not good at expressing themselves.

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

Chiyu ran through the broken streets, chewing on sushi, her eyes flashing with coldness as she recalled the scene from earlier.

"Qianyu!" A familiar voice made Qianyu stop in his tracks. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a person of similar age with a scar on his face looking at him.

"Iruka? What are you doing here? Are you handling your aunt and uncle's funeral arrangements?"

Chiyu looked at Iruka, whose eyes were red, and asked with some confusion, because Iruka's parents were victims of this disaster, and he shouldn't be here now.

"Chiba, I'm the only one left in the family. My parents' remains have already been taken care of in the village. I thought I could come and help. In our team, Sarutobi-sensei is seriously injured and hospitalized, and Tsuki can't come out because of his identity. It's just you and me left."

At this point, tears welled up in Iruka's eyes again.

Chiba, who knew Iruka's personality, knew perfectly well that the reason Iruka came out was more out of fear—fear of loneliness. As the worst student, he was already ostracized by everyone, and now that his parents had both passed away, he found it difficult to be alone.

"Let's go, Iruka, let's go get the mission together. I won't be bored with you here. Let's go."

Qianyu patted the other person on the shoulder and led him to the temporary mission area to receive the new mission assignment.

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

In the spacious courtyard, the bluestone slabs were darkened by the morning dew, and the dry landscape sand table in the corner shimmered with a delicate white light. An old man with white hair sat on the tatami under the eaves, and his once radiant face was faintly visible as he gently looked at the figure beside him.

Beside her, a dark green dress was loosely tied around her waist, the tight inner lining hugging her full and tall figure, her muscular arms holding up a bottle of sake, about to drink it.

This person is none other than Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

However, upon seeing the old man's kind gaze, Tsunade clicked her tongue and put down the sake, looking at the old man with a hint of helplessness.

"Grandma Taohua, you urgently summoned me back for the treatment of the injured from the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack, right? You know I have hemophobia, so my return would just be for show."

Upon hearing Tsunade's slightly melancholic words, Momoka Senju, the most senior head of the Senju clan who had survived the Warring States period, simply patted Tsunade's head gently and said...

"Xiao Gang, you don't need to lift a finger. Just stand in the hospital and let people see you. A few casual words of advice from you will be incredibly helpful to them. That little guy Jingyin has been learning from you for so long, it's a good time for her to put her knowledge into practice, isn't it?"

"And Xiaogang, you've been away from home for so many years, you should come back and visit this useless old woman sometimes. I don't know how many years I have left to live, but I just hope that when you're tired outside, you can remember that there's someone waiting for you at home, and come back to visit often."

"Grandma Taohua, I..."

Looking at the kind old man in front of her, Tsunade's voice lowered for a moment. Perhaps only in the presence of this old man could Tsunade show her daughterly side.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Tsunade instinctively composed herself and looked up.

As Senju Yunhua pushed open the door and entered, she saw two figures in the courtyard and instinctively stopped. When she saw that one of them was Tsunade, her face lit up with joy.

"Tsunade is back! That's wonderful! With you in charge, Konoha will surely recover quickly..."

"Yunhua!"

Senju Unka, who had been interrupted by her older sister, seemed to remember something and immediately lowered her head and stood still to the side, not daring to say another word.

Tsunade did not show the same closeness to Senju Momoka as she did to Momoka. Given her current status and abilities, only Momoka, who had fought alongside the first and second Hokage on the battlefield, could earn her her respect.

"Xiao Gang, you've just gotten back, go back and get some rest. We can talk about the medical matters tomorrow."

Knowing that Grandma Momoka didn't want her to get involved in the Konoha vortex anymore, Tsunade nodded obediently, picked up her sake, and left.

Only the two elderly people were left in the courtyard, facing each other.
