"Next, this is a gift from your teacher. Remember to practice diligently. Don't worry, these are all my spoils. I have the right to dispose of them as I see fit, and I won't violate any village rules."

After leaving the bustling barbecue restaurant, Genma Shiranui watched the four little ones prepare to leave, a toothpick dangling from his lips, and casually tossed out three small reels.

After receiving their respective ninjutsu scrolls, Chiba and the other two happily thanked Genma-sensei and then waved goodbye.

Standing there, Genma Shiranui smiled as he watched the three of them having a good time. Looking at the moonlight, he realized it was getting late and he should go back to rest. He needed to get up early tomorrow to choose a suitable mission, otherwise all the good ones would be taken by others.

Just as Genma Shiranui was thinking this, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck, and a familiar voice came from beside him, "Genma, you're here too. You've all been busy lately, so let's have a good get-together today, the three of us, and drink until we drop!"

"No, Lei Tong, I already ate. I have things to do tomorrow."

However, Genma Shiranui's words had no effect. In a bad mood, Raido Namiashi and Iwashi Tadashi dragged him back to the barbecue restaurant, where he was forced to start a second round of eating.

It seems he probably won't be able to get up early tomorrow.

"Qianyu, Yue, it seems that apart from helping the front line transport supplies, we haven't officially taken on any missions to leave the village."

Walking in the cold night, Iruka kicked a pebble and looked at his companion beside him. Chiba was carrying the sleeping Uchiha Izumi on his back. After hearing his words, she nodded.

"That's right. The three of us have been doing D-rank missions. These kinds of missions usually don't require leaving the village. The day after tomorrow is the day we'll officially start taking on C-rank missions. We might get injured or even crippled then. Are you worried, Iruka?"

"Huh?" Iruka was taken aback by Chiyu's words, only then realizing that he hadn't actually bled yet, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Iruka, don't worry," Uchiha Tsuki said, draping a coat over her sister to keep her warm before comforting her. "Most C-rank missions involve ordinary people who don't know ninjutsu, so nothing will happen. Besides, Chiba and I will protect you."

Iruka felt a little relieved after hearing Yue's words of comfort, but he soon noticed a mischievous smile on Chiba's face.

Realizing he'd been tricked, Iruka reached out to grab the other person, but because he was carrying Uchiha Izumi on his back, Chiba could only run away laughing, with Iruka and Uchiha Tsuki following behind, still playfully fighting.

Joyful laughter echoed for a long time on the road leading to the Uchiha clan.

Hidden in the deep alley, the cold wind brushed against his clothes, making him unconsciously tighten his warm clothing. With winter approaching, many people had already retreated to warm, spring-like rooms. The only reason he was still standing here was that he had to see someone today, or he would never have another chance.

Because tomorrow he will return to hell, where he will live on without a name or identity.

When the moon was high in the sky, Kabuto finally met his target, and at the same time, the aroma of roasted corn wafted over.

Among the superhuman strength techniques that Qianyu cultivates, one step is similar to the Akimichi family's secret technique for storing fat, which allows him to store the energy from food and then mobilize it when needed, but there is an upper limit to this.

Simply put, Chiba can eat a large amount of food in one meal and then not need to eat for several days before engaging in normal activities. This is why Chiba eats and drinks excessively whenever she has time. It is likely that Tsunade's Yin Seal also drew on this secret technique.

"Aren't you worried about not sleeping well at night if you eat so much at this time?"

Chiyu, who was munching on roasted corn, looked at Yakushi Kabuto standing in the shadows and noticed through the reflective lenses that the other man's fake smile was gone, and he was staring at him expressionlessly.

"Crunch crunch"

After carefully finishing the roasted corn in his hand, Chiyu casually tossed it into a trash can some distance away. Just when Kabuto thought the other person would speak, he saw Chiyu take out another roasted corn from the brown paper bag in his hand and continue eating it, showing no curiosity about why he was there.

Although Kabuto Yakushi remained expressionless upon seeing this, his breathing became noticeably heavier.

"Chiyu-kun, I have come today to ask for your help. Please forgive my abruptness, but I really have no other choice. You are the only one in the village who can help me."

"Therefore, I will do my utmost to help you in any way you may need my help in the future."

Hearing Kabuto's slightly pleading voice, Chiba didn't remain silent this time. Instead, she asked indistinctly while munching on corn:

"How did you know I would help you? We don't seem to be that close. To be honest, if I had known this would happen, I definitely wouldn't have sent you the lunchbox in the first place."

Upon hearing this, Kabuto finally smiled with relief, staring at Chiyu and saying each word clearly:

"No, even if it happened again, you would still take out your own lunchbox to help those children, because you are a truly good person, Chiyu-kun."

"Snap!"

Feeling like she'd been insulted, Chiyu threw away the half-eaten corn cob and looked at Yakushi Kabuto's sincere expression. She couldn't help but think about what this guy would do in the future—a role model for ordinary people to emulate.

Ten minutes later, Kabuto Yakushi had vanished without a trace, leaving Chiba staring at the two photos in her hand, lost in thought. This guy actually asked her to investigate this matter. Is Kabuto Yakushi so easily trusting of outsiders now?

One of the photos shows Kabuto Yakushi as he looks now, while the other shows a woman with a kind face, brown hair covered by a white headscarf, and bright, gentle emerald green eyes behind round glasses on her nose.

Yakushi Nonou, the former director of the Konoha orphanage, is regarded as a mother figure by Yakushi Kabuto. This guy really thinks highly of himself.

However, Qianyu still casually put it away. Anyway, he hadn't promised to help him with this favor. He would deal with it later. If he succeeded, these two would be a great help to him in the future.

Patting her now flat stomach, Chiyu shook her head and walked towards home. Danzo had it tough too; he had no grand ambitions, no unspeakable secrets, just pure evil, which was rare even in the Naruto world.

Pure self-righteousness.

Genjutsu, Mind Reflection Technique, a C-rank genjutsu of Kirigakure, which can be performed at the highest level of A-rank genjutsu. It is a mental genjutsu that requires extremely high chakra control and mental perception.

Through skin contact or eye contact, the practitioner forces the subject to immerse themselves in a realistic illusion that they most desire, the realism of which depends on the practitioner's mental strength.

Under the bright lights, Chiba carefully observed the ninjutsu scroll that Genma-sensei had given her. The genjutsu in it was clearly more suited to interrogation and torture scenarios, and would have great limitations if used in battle.

Even so, Qianyu studied with great interest, and a yellow cloth was quietly placed next to him.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a technique that Qian Yu must learn. Even if he has to slowly and painstakingly study it, he must master this forbidden technique.
