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

When Konoha Village was first established, in order to ensure that everyone would not forget the heroes who died in battle, the village cemetery was built behind the memorial monument.

In this way, whenever people visit their departed loved ones, they will pass by these heroes, subtly cultivating the will of fire within them.

At this moment, Qianyu, dressed in black, was silently cleaning her grandfather's tombstone. She was about to leave for a mission that afternoon and was saying goodbye to the old man before she left.

When the old man passed away, his greatest concern was Qianyu. However, Qianyu's current situation is much better than that of her peers, so the old man passed away with a smile on his face.

Therefore, Chiyu quickly emerged from her grief. The deceased were gone, and those of us who were still alive had to move forward.

After cleaning everything up, Qianyu didn't leave immediately. Instead, he walked towards the memorial stele not far away, wanting to see these heroes of Konoha.

The memorial site was a square area. Chiyu stood at the very front, where the inscription read "Hashirama Senju".

As he walked forward, more and more names came into view, including Mito Uzumaki, Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki.

In response, Chiyu felt a surge of respect. Regardless of whether they were used as tools to their deaths, they were indeed protecting Konoha.

Just as he reached the latter part of the journey, a memorial stone inscribed with "Nohara Rin" appeared before Chiba's eyes. He did not stop and walked straight over to it.

"In this kind of weather, there are still fresh chrysanthemums. It seems that there is a reason why Kakashi Hatake has this problem of getting lost."

Recalling the vibrant chrysanthemums she had just seen in front of Rin Nohara's memorial stone, Chiba couldn't help but admire Kakashi Hatake's thoughtfulness.

However, sometimes people are just like that. Just as he reached the exit, a young man with silver hair and a headband worn at an angle walked in.

Seeing the other person's flamboyant style, Qian Yu was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew that this was Hatake Kakashi, but what he was looking at was the chrysanthemum in the other person's hand.

As if remembering something, the hairs on the back of Chiyu's back stood on end, but she walked past Kakashi Hatake with a calm expression.

"This child must be the one the Third Hokage was talking about. He really looks like the Second Hokage." After marveling at Chiba's appearance like everyone else, Kakashi Hatake put the child out of his mind.

A few minutes later, Kakashi Hatake looked at the chrysanthemums under Rin's memorial stone. He skillfully placed the chrysanthemums he had brought beside him, a scene he was already used to.

Thinking that Rin and other friends had come to pay their respects to Kakashi Hatake, she squatted on the ground, wiping the memorial stone while telling him about her recent situation.

Only in this way can Kakashi Hatake's wounded heart find solace.

"Is he taking a dump? Does he have to poop like that? Is he carrying a dog?"

In a different dimension not far from Kakashi Hatake, a frivolous and carefree voice rang out, creating a stark contrast with its surroundings.

In this dimly lit space, countless gray, elongated rock pillars of varying sizes floated randomly, arranged without any pattern.

On one of the rock pillars, Obito, dressed in a black robe with red accents and wearing a swirling mask, was looking at Kakashi Hatake. His frivolous voice came from behind the mask.

"laugh!"

Obito raised his left hand and stabbed it through his own right side. "Shut up, Tobi!"

After silencing his opponent, Obito's right eye rapidly rotated the tomoe, forming a sharp spiral, and the whites of his eyes were covered with blood vessels.

"Kakashi! Kakashi! I will make you taste the bitterness of falling into hell!" A desperate roar echoed in the dark space.

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

The River Country is located at the border of the Fire Country and the Wind Country. Its terrain is crisscrossed by rivers and covered with lush vegetation, but it has no other resources.

This terrain is not lacking in the Land of Fire, but it is highly sought after in the Land of Wind. The Sand Village, surrounded by desert, was green with envy when it saw so many water sources.

Adhering to the principle of preventing the enemy from doing what they want, every time Sunagakure entered the Land of Rivers, it was driven back by Konoha. After repeated back-and-forth battles, this land ravaged by war became devastated.

This resulted in the Land of Rivers not having an independent ninja village. After all, Sunagakure was poor, and every time locusts passed through, they would exploit it to the bone.

The method of offering money to Konoha and Iwagakure to curry favor with both sides, like the method used by Kusagakure, won't work here.

However, although the situation is tense now, merchants have always been the most adept at taking risks, and the various ninja villages would not do something as short-sighted as attacking a caravan.

Therefore, the caravan that set off from the Land of Water to the Land of Wind temporarily settled down after entering the territory of the Land of Fire and sent someone to Konoha to make a request.

"This is where the most problems are likely to occur in this mission," Genma Shiranui said, taking out the photo while sipping tea to sober up.

It turns out that after the Third Shinobi World War ended, the major ninja villages were secretly licking their wounds, so some wandering ninjas took this opportunity to gradually rise up.

Located on the only road connecting the Land of Rivers to the Land of Wind, a group of wandering ninjas appeared, specializing in robbing valuables. Moreover, these guys were elusive, and only later investigators were able to take photos of the scene.

Caravans often share information, so upon receiving this news, they also brought photos provided by the survivors.

"Teacher Genma, does that mean we just need to escort them to the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind?" Chiba said, picking up a photo from the table and looking at it. The long marks on the photo made him frown.

"Teacher Genma, don't you think these marks look like they were made by a giant reptile?"

Chiyu placed the photo on the table and gently tapped the marks on it with her index finger. Yue and Iruka, who were standing nearby, also came over to examine it closely.

In the photo, several clear marks appeared on the ground, forming deep grooves, with winding lines appearing under Qianyu's fingertips.

"Such large marks, plus this is a scene of battle, this must be a ninja beast, right? A python, but isn't it... um?"

Looking at Uchiha Tsuki, whose mouth she had just covered in time, Chiba's eyes showed a helpless expression. This girl was really carefree; if others heard this, it would be another troublesome matter.

"Qianyu, your idea is correct, so the mission department sent someone to consult that person. The final result is that the two are completely unrelated, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing Genma-sensei say that, Chiba finally felt relieved. The next second, he felt his hand being bitten, and then he remembered that he was still covering Yue's mouth.

"Omitted~~"

With his mouth freed, Uchiha Tsuki made a face at Chiba, mocking his caution. Iruka, standing nearby, watched the two bickering with a helpless expression, marveling at their boundless energy.
