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

Bright lights illuminated the entire room, the pain of a sharp blade slicing through his skin was so vivid, and the whispers of demons echoed in his ears.

"Remember that this is a gift I have given you. The power in your bodies comes from the top beings in the ninja world. It is your honor to have met me."

......

"You actually survived, not bad. From now on, you'll be called Poison Ghost. Don't disappoint me, or you'll all become test subjects again."

......

"Useless, useless! You only obtained such pathetic power, what's the point of your lives?"

......

"Run? Heh heh, where do you think you can run to? Poison Demon, do you still remember me?"

"No!"

In the dimly lit room, a figure suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "I will never go back, I will never go back!"

"Click, click."

On the other side of the room, a tall figure was sitting on a rectangular box, constantly eating. By the standards of the Naruto world, he could be considered a small giant.

Seeing the figure struggling to sit up, the little giant stopped eating. "Poison Ghost, are you having another nightmare?"

The gaunt Poison Demon didn't speak, but simply got up and opened the partition door, letting the cold wind blow in and sweep away the remaining warmth in the room.

When the bluish-white-skinned poisonous ghost faced the biting cold, a look of comfort appeared on his face; only in this way could his agitated emotions be calmed down.

"Power Ghost, keep an eye on Hand Ghost, whatever you do, don't let him out. I'm going to the red-light district to bring Snake Ghost back. That bastard, he'll die from a woman's body sooner or later."

"oh."

The tall, powerful ghost spoke in a deep, gruff voice, then resumed eating, as if his stomach contained a bottomless pit.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the bright moonlight fell into the room, also illuminating the tall, powerful ghost and the rectangular... coffin beneath him.

The coffin lid trembled slightly, as if it were about to be lifted, but it was suppressed by the powerful ghost, and intermittent sounds could be heard from it.

"It hurts so much...it's so painful...you demon, please...please help me, help me be free..."

The demon ignored him, tearing at the massive bone with his teeth. Warm liquid dripped from his face onto the iron coffin.

"Robbing is normal, but what's the point of taking the body away? To do experiments? No way," Qianyu, sitting in the carriage, clearly couldn't understand this point after reviewing the data these past few days.

"No way, Chiyu, who would need to rob someone who's capable of conducting experiments?" Iruka put down his notes, scratched his head thoughtfully, and said uncertainly.

"If we're not going to do experiments, then it must be used somewhere else. With the money, we won't lack food and drink, or do we need to feed it something?" Qianyu looked at the caravan that had stopped ahead and guessed uncertainly.

"Get out of here, you bastard Chiyu! I'm eating!"

Looking at the okonomiyaki in her hand, the thick, glistening sauce made her feel nauseous. Clearly, Chiba's words had reminded her of something unpleasant.

Qianyu, who had been kicked off the carriage by Yue, stretched and shook her head to clear her mind of all her random thoughts. Then, she leaped from the back of the caravan to the front.

"Chiba, come here," Genma Shiranui waved to him from the roof of the car. Because he was a little worried about the load-bearing capacity of the roof, Chiba shook his head and walked to the side of the car, looking ahead.

"Master Genma, the Land of Rivers truly lives up to its name. I encountered at least five rivers in one day, and they were all quite wide," Chiba said, suspecting that the Land of Wind's water supply had been diverted by the Land of Rivers.

Along the way, whenever there was a slightly larger river, the daimyo's army would collect tolls for crossing the bridges. Although the prices were low, the sheer number of tolls was overwhelming.

"In the past, there were not only many rivers here, but also many river bullies. The high cost of crossing the river every time made small merchants hesitate," said Genma Shiranui, jumping off the carriage and landing next to Chiyu.

"After the war ended, in order to expand its business, the village coincidentally received a commission from someone in the River Country, saying that a river tyrant was killing people and intercepting goods."

"So, the Fourth Hokage ordered the Land of Rivers to be cleared out from east to west and from south to north," Genma Shiranui said, revealing his gleaming white teeth, clearly indicating that he was one of them.

"Teacher Genma, your use of 'coincidence' is truly brilliant," Chiyu said, giving a thumbs-up after understanding the other person's implied meaning.

"You brat, daring to joke about your teacher. Come on, come with me for a walk, my back is stiff from sitting so long." Genma Shiranui reached out and gave Chiyu a light tap on the head.

The two then took a stroll around the caravan, which was also their daily routine patrol.

"Chiba, Tsukito usually asks me about ninja tools and fire release techniques, while Iruka asks me about earth release techniques and the customs and culture of the ninja world," Genma Shiranui said, twirling a senbon needle in his hand as he looked at Chiba with a meaningful expression.

"You only like to ask me to teach you the Body Flicker Technique. Not only do you look like the Second Hokage, but you're also very interested in that technique, aren't you?"

After spending this time together, he had gotten to know his student quite well. He couldn't say the student was gloomy, but he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Considering that the other party always asked him for advice on the Body Flicker Technique, he guessed what Qianyu was thinking. He wasn't angry about it, but he was worried that if he couldn't learn the technique, it might be a blow to Qianyu.

"That's right, Genma-sensei, I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique," Chiba said without hiding her purpose, looking directly into Genma-sensei's complex eyes.

"I want to learn the forbidden technique that allows spatial travel without bloodshed or body modification." Qian Yu's voice was filled with determination; he was determined to learn this technique.

Chiba's resolute tone did not move Genma Shiranui, because too many people had said this, and too many had failed. Ten people would try it, and ten people would fail.

"Chiba, do you know why I, as a Special Jonin, and two others were chosen to become the Fourth Hokage's personal guards?"

Genma Shiranui pointed out many things that puzzled the ninjas. The Hokage's personal guards should at least be Jonin, and these three special Jonin were like huskies in a wolf pack, looking a bit strange.

However, before Chiyu could answer, Genma Shiranui revealed the reason: it was because the three of them possessed a slight spatial talent, giving them a one in ten thousand chance of learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Imagine the despair that would be brought to the battlefield if four people who can fly like thunder gods appeared.

"It's just that we're not qualified enough; only three of us working together can utilize the teleportation technology, and even then, we can't guarantee it will be intact."

As Genma Shiranui spoke of this, he thought of Senba's spatial talent, which far surpassed his own, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Qianyu."

"Master Genma?"

Under Chiyu's questioning gaze, Genma Shiranui sighed and picked up a senbon from his mouth. "For the next few days, you'll be working the night shift with me."

"Okay, teacher, but isn't it inappropriate to put a senbon that's been touched by a hand into your mouth?"

"From now on, you'll be working the night shift with Iruka."

"Teacher Genma, I was wrong."
