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

As night fell, Chiba sat by the campfire, her fingers flying across the ground, while the chakra within her body flowed along fixed pathways.

These are some tips for improving your hand seal speed during regular training. You should know that each hand seal has a unique chakra flow path. With different combinations and chakra fluctuation requirements, tens of thousands of ninjutsu can be formed.

If you don't circulate chakra and just form hand seals, you will fail in actual combat because the speed of chakra circulation and the frequency of finger hand seals are different. In severe cases, it may even backfire on you.

However, if you're going to unleash ninjutsu every time, you'd better be a ninja like Kisame Hoshigaki, otherwise you'll soon find out what it feels like to have your body completely drained.

This technique has become quite common in Konoha, but Chiba's method is a bit more complicated because the popular hand seal techniques originated from the Senju clan.

They were still within the Land of Fire, so Chiba, who was on night duty, didn't need to be so tense. While practicing hand seals, he was thinking about the information that Toki and Iruka had brought back at noon.

Miss Ming has long reddish-brown hair that covers her right eye, and occasionally her stunningly beautiful face is revealed.

By combining this with the information from the caravan that passed through the Land of Grass, Chiba guessed the general outline of the matter.

It seems that the Senju clan's movements in Kusagakure alerted Kirigakure, even though Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage.

But after this happened, everyone wanted to see how Kirigakure would react.

Unless Obito and Black Zetsu want Kirigakure to become easy prey for others, they must send someone to conduct an investigation to give everyone an explanation.

In this way, Mei Terumi's fate took a different turn, which in turn caused Haku's life trajectory to change.

That's fine too. Compared to the stereotypical characters in the later part of the story, Chiyu still feels sorry for Haku, the tragic character in the early part. Such a person shouldn't have to suffer with Zabuza.

Thinking of the events in Kusagakure, Chiba couldn't help but think of the mother and daughter. Their fate had also been changed by her. Indeed, she still hated the existence of tragedies.

Thinking of this, Qianyu couldn't help but smile, and prepared to take a break. However, the next second he stood up and looked at the opposite side of the campfire.

A Konoha ANBU member, dressed in a black combat suit, wearing a crow mask, and carrying a ninja sword on his back, was quietly watching him and the newly appeared Genma Shiranui.

The best proof that the other party was a member of the Konoha Anbu was the fleeting red light behind the crow mask.

Looking at the other person's slightly taller figure, Qianyu roughly guessed that there must be a round nose behind the mask, but why would the other person appear here?

The other party was supposed to go with the Third Hokage to meet the Daimyo of Fire. Chiba was a little confused and looked at Genma-sensei next to her.

Bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the trees onto the three of them, and for a moment they were silent.

"Shana, why aren't you asleep so late?"

Kana Uzumaki, sitting under the eaves with her knees drawn up to her chest, was admiring the beautiful moonlight. She hadn't seen the light for a long time since she had been imprisoned.

So much so that it wasn't until Grandpa Yunhua walked up to her and reminded her that she was startled awake and quickly stood up.

Senju Unka saw that the other party's right arm, covered in scars, was exposed due to the large range of motion. The crisscrossing teeth marks were very glaring against the white skin.

Senju Unkasa felt sorry for Lady Uzumaki Mito, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes. If it weren't for little Chiba, the child's fate would have been unimaginable.

"Kana, we're heading back to Konoha tomorrow. We'll encounter some people along the way. Make sure you and Karin keep the sealing techniques in place. Plus, your hair has turned black, so you should be fine."

Senju Unka thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi's shrewd eyes, and still felt a little worried. But now that things had come to this, she had to face it. If it didn't work, she would just have to give up her old life.

Hearing Grandpa Yunhua's words, Kana Uzumaki thought of her daughter and nodded vigorously, for Karin and for this hard-won freedom.

Just as Senju Yunhua was about to turn away after gently comforting Uzumaki Kana, she was stopped by her voice.

"Grandpa Yunhua, is your benefactor also in Konoha? What kind of person is he?"

Upon hearing Kana Uzumaki's words, Yunhua Senju recalled how, after her sister's reminder, she realized that the boy's innocent exterior concealed such deep thoughts. She then said meaningfully:

"Of course, he's a quick-witted little guy, Chanel, you'd better be careful."

Then, amidst Kana Uzumaki's puzzled gaze, he shook his head and left.

Although she didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Grandpa Yunhua's words, she couldn't express her gratitude to the little benefactor who had taken her away from the hellhole.

Kana opened the cubicle door and gently covered her daughter's kicked-off blanket back up. Looking at Karin's face, which was no longer filled with fear, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Karin, we've really escaped that den of demons."

Suppressed sobs echoed intermittently in the bright moonlight, but Karin, fast asleep in her blankets, remained completely undisturbed.

On the other side, Chiba, who was praised for her quick thinking, felt uncertain as she watched Shisui disappear without a trace after handing the Hokage token to Genma-sensei.

However, the opponent's Body Flicker Technique is quite good; as expected of the future Shisui of Body Flicker Technique, he has a real skill.

"Chiba, go wake up Tsuki and Iruka, we have a side mission."

After reading the order in his hand, Genma Shiranui frowned slightly and said, "Dealing with the Anbu is not a good thing. The nature of the Anbu is that they live in danger."

A moment later, Genma Shiranui looked at the three little ones in front of him and began to explain the meaning of the side mission.

"In Konoha, the Anbu are those masked people; they are always two separate groups and rarely meet."

"However, the Hokage Token in their possession is one of the ways to get the two of us to cooperate. I can't reveal the contents, but we need to meet him in the Land of Rivers within a month. If it exceeds a month, the mission will be automatically canceled."

"Our main mission will normally last no more than half a month. After that, we will be stationed in the River Country to wait for his return. The mission level will depend on the situation when we meet him."

"This is one form of a side mission: when the Hokage's order appears, the surrounding Konoha ninja must cooperate unconditionally."

"Therefore you must intensify your training to prevent fierce battles from occurring."

Seeing Genma-sensei's serious expression, Chiba secretly became wary. It was astonishing that a genius like Shisui, who died young, could make a name for himself in just a few years.

This only shows that the other party's quality in completing the task far surpasses that of others. It seems that the slug will be put to good use this time.

Thanks to Granny Momoka and Tsunade, I have gained many more ways to protect myself. This has greatly increased the safety of not only myself, but also Yue and Iruka.

Thinking of this, Qianyu unconsciously began to form hand seals again. Even last-minute practice can be effective.
