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

Chapter 319 Shameless

"After being away from home for so long, I'm finally back. I feel like I've almost forgotten what it's like here, and I still smell like the earth on my body."

Outside the gates of Konoha, two dusty ninjas wearing headbands gazed at the familiar scene with joy on their faces. Around them were many other people dressed in the same attire.

"Ida, remember to go home early. Tomorrow is the family festival. You need to be well-rested to deal with the guests. You can't let the Sarutobi family lose face in front of outsiders."

One of the burly, middle-aged ninjas appeared to be of higher status. Under his command, a large number of Sarutobi clan ninjas, watched by the surrounding guards, walked into the village.

"Hmph, our Sarutobi clan has made so many contributions to Konoha, yet we are treated like this. It's outrageous! Uncle Mo, are we really going back to guard the border after the clan festival?"

The man called Jingtian was only in his early twenties, the age when he was most ambitious. He did not hide his thoughts and bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Alright, stop complaining. You have to trust that the family will make arrangements for us. Go back and rest!"

The middle-aged ninja Sarutobi Mo spoke again, interrupting the complaints to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from overhearing them and using them against him.

This scene was overheard by a passerby, who glanced at the Sarutobi clan members gradually returning to Konoha, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, in front of the memorial tablet for the Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Asuma, now restored to his original appearance, stood quietly, a dark glint in his eyes.

"Asma."

As the familiar voices rang out, Sarutobi Asuma turned his head and saw Hatake Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai walking towards him. Seeing his former teammates and the people he loved, his face remained expressionless.

"Recently, there have been so many more missions in the village. Everyone's been on missions, it's so boring."

Mitarashi Anko stretched and looked at the bare skewers on the plate in front of her. Her eyes darted around, and she stealthily reached for the tempting dumplings on the plate opposite her.

"Snapped!"

"hiss!"

The sudden tap made her immediately retract her fingers, and she grimaced at the person opposite her to express her dissatisfaction.

"If you want to eat, just ask the waiter for your own food. Don't touch mine; this is reserved for Yue."

Chiyu put down the newspaper and folded it neatly, then snapped her fingers to call over the waiter at the izakaya.

"Ugh, this is for Yue, how cheesy."

With a funny expression, he repeated what the captain had just said. Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but get goosebumps and quickly picked up the red bean soup in front of her and drank it down.

Looking at Hongdou's excessive calorie intake, Qianyu couldn't help but shake his head. Perhaps it was because he had helped her evolve the power of the curse seal, but he felt that Hongdou's appetite seemed to be getting better and better.

At this moment, a beautiful figure sat down next to Qianyu, placed the dark blue mission scroll on the table, and casually picked up the tea in front of Qianyu and drank it.

"Huh? A mission scroll? Yue, are we going on another mission?"

Mitarashi Anko, who was just lamenting the recent increase in missions in the village, didn't expect that she would be going on a mission so soon.

Feeling a bit tired, she leaned on Chiyu's shoulder. Uchiha Yue nodded, "We're leaving this afternoon, Anko, you need to hurry up and get ready."

"So urgent?"

Upon hearing this, Mitarashi Anko slumped weakly onto the table, looking like a lazy bum, much like Chiba in her previous life as a working ox.

"Chiyu, there are so many new missions in the village this time, I feel..."

'

Ignoring Anko's antics, Uchiha Yue leaned on Chiba's shoulder and whispered her thoughts. This unusual situation made her feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, Yue. The ninja world has been relatively peaceful lately. This shows that Konoha's strength has been recognized by everyone. Don't worry."

"And Yue, remember to make sure Hongdou gets plenty of exercise after we go out this time. I feel like she's starting to get a bit plumper."

"ha!"

Mitarashi Anko, her mouth stuffed with dumplings, glared at Chiba upon hearing this, but the food in her mouth prevented her from speaking, and she was reluctant to spit it out, so her expression was very strange.

Upon seeing this, both Chiba and Uchiha Yue burst into laughter.

"It's a failure. It seems Asuma will never be able to return to the village. Kurenai, what do you think?"

On the main road leading to the Hokage's office, Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi walked side by side. Recalling Asuma Sarutobi's coldness earlier, Kakashi Hatake's tone carried a hint of regret.

"I don't have any opinion. Kakashi, we're not children anymore. We have to take responsibility for our actions. Whatever path Asuma chooses in the future, he has to bear the consequences."

"As long as he doesn't go against the village, I have no interest in knowing."

Kurenai Yuhi, observing the bustling scene on both sides of the street, expressed her opinion without hesitation: the safety of Konoha was the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake could only shrug and then decided to part ways with the other person to go find Might Guy for training.

However, that's life. When you're free, everyone else is free too, but when you're busy, all sorts of things come looking for you.

"Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, the Hokage has summoned you. There is a mission."

As the Anbu figures appeared, Kakashi Hatake's eyes involuntarily rolled upwards beneath his mask. The Fifth Hokage was being far too domineering.

In the bustling ninja academy, Konan still stood by the window, her gaze quietly fixed on the students playing below—a sight she had to see every day.

Over the course of several months, she showed no sign of impatience.

"hey-hey...

'

As a strange sound rang out, a small figure appeared at the window sill. Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, reached out and grabbed the figure's arm, pulling it up.

Looking at the red-haired girl in front of her, who was brushing off dust and had a bright, sunny smile on her face, Xiao Nan couldn't help but smile.

"Sister Nan, look what I brought you! This is the best charcoal-grilled fish in the village, and Brother Qianyu has decided it's the best."

"His assessment is absolutely authoritative. Since you don't like going out, Sister Nan, I brought this for you, hehe."

Looking at the fragrant grilled fish in front of her, Konan looked at Karin Uzumaki with a complicated expression. This girl, who was from the same clan as Nagato, was the only one who could see through her disguise, so she often came to see her secretly.

The connection between them was only through a kite, yet the other person remembered them.

"Karin, I'm a teacher at the school, not a prisoner. You don't have to keep climbing through the windows, and you'll be punished if you're caught."

Konan gently wiped the dust off Karin's face, her tone tinged with helplessness. Although she couldn't leave the campus, people could still enter her office. This girl always climbed up from the first floor, like a thief.

"Don't worry, Sister Nan, I won't be found out. You don't know how fierce our director of the disciplinary office is. Qianyu is just as unreasonable. She won't let us get close to this place. This is the only way I can come to see you."

"Karin".

"By the way, Sister Nan, you like origami, these are some colored paper I brought you. You can use them to pass the time when you're bored. I'll bring you more if you need more."

"Karin?"

"Nan-neechan, I can't stay here too long. Izumi and Yakumo are still waiting for me below..."

'

"Karin!"

Konan called out Karin's name again, touched her cheek with her finger, and gently helped her turn her head, instantly turning the once energetic girl into a wilted eggplant.

"Speak up, why did you stop? I want to talk to Kana and Yue about your studies when we get back."

Chiyu, who had somehow arrived, stared at Karin Uzumaki, who had instantly transformed into a well-behaved girl, with a half-smile on her face. In front of her, Tsuki Uchiha and Yakumo Kurama were exchanging winks and smirks.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After the three sounds, the three girls covered their heads and squatted on the ground.

"After you leave here, go find the head of the disciplinary office and apologize. Accept whatever punishment you are given. If you dare to cheat again, I will punish you by making you do physical testing training with Matt Kai, otherwise you all have too much energy."

The three little girls stuck out their tongues at each other, secretly greeted Xiao Nan, and then hurriedly ran away.

"They just wanted to see me out of kindness. If they have any complaints, they can come to me with them. There's no need to make things difficult for them."

And they are your sisters.

Xiao Nan, who knew how vicious the director of the disciplinary office was, frowned as she stared at Qian Yu, never expecting that this person would be so ruthless.

"Don't spoil them when they're young, and don't control them when they're older. You'll understand this principle naturally after you get married."

As Qianyu put a piece of grilled fish into her mouth to savor it, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She then took the opportunity to lecture Xiaonan.

Faced with Qianyu's words, even Xiaonan, who was usually very cold-faced, almost couldn't help but break down. This white-haired guy in front of her was younger than her, yet he had the nerve to say such things.

"I've come to see you today to make a deal. If you do well, your activities will extend beyond this campus. How about it?"

Looking at the silent Xiao Nan, Qian Yu knew that she had grasped the other's thoughts.

"Senju Senyu, you trust me that much? Don't forget I'm a prisoner you're keeping a close eye on." Konan looked at Senyu with some suspicion; in her mind, the other person wasn't such a kind person.

Ignoring the doubt in Xiao Nan's tone, Qian Yu savored the grilled fish while stating her request.

"Something might happen in the village tomorrow. I'll leave the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the school. You'll have to protect them for me. By the way, the attackers might be from the Akatsuki."

Amid Xiao Nan's surprised expression, Qian Yu revealed her plans for tomorrow, without a trace of worry in her words.

"You... are you crazy? Don't forget I'm a member of Akatsuki, and I've regained my fighting ability. Why should I listen to you?!"

Seeing that the grilled fish Karin brought her was almost finished by Chiba, Konan glared at him with hostility.

"First of all, the person who comes will be Obito Uchiha, or someone who is very close to him. It's not one of Nagato Uzumaki's people, so you can proceed with confidence."

"Secondly, I will leave Karin and the other two with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Do you intend to watch them die?"

Watching Chiba continue to devour her grilled fish with relish, Konan finally managed to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth: "Shameless!"

Xiao Nan never expected the other party to do such a thing. Karin is your sister, and he actually used her as a bargaining chip.

"Don't look at me like that. I naturally have a backup plan to protect them, but it's best not to reveal it. So I'll leave it to you. Konoha doesn't tolerate idlers."

"There are 100 million explosive tags in here, consider it a gift to increase your combat power. Also, I've already eaten this plate of grilled fish, I'll have someone bring you another one later."

After placing the five specially made sealing scrolls, Chiyu picked up the remaining grilled fish and turned to leave.

"Get out! I won't eat it!"
