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

"Everyone in this world has their own unique dream, and that is the meaning of our existence. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and those birds that only know how to forage for food?"

"The difference in dreams means that we can choose true companions from the vast sea of ​​people and embark on the road to pursuing our dreams together."

"My dream is to explore the realm of life that no one dares to set foot in, and I would give up everything for it. But Red Bean, your dream is simply to live happily."

"I have no right to belittle your dreams; that's something only the lowest of men would do!"

"While there is no distinction between high and low in dreams, our different dreams have destined us to be on different paths. So, I'm sorry, Red Bean, you are not in my plans."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice seemed to still echo in her ears before she fainted, but Mitarashi Anko knew that she had been imprisoned for almost ten days.

Listening to the sound of rain hitting the glass outside the window, Mitarashi Anko lay on the hard bed, her whole body aching slightly. The memory of the cold scalpel cutting through her body was still so clear.

This sudden turn of events left the purple-haired girl in a state of confusion. She could only cry silently when no one was around. She didn't know what her future held; perhaps she would be secretly executed, given her sensitive identity.

This is fine too. A self-destructive tendency appeared in Mitarashi Anko's eyes. She no longer had any longing for life.

Just then, the door opened, and Koharu Utatane walked in, quietly looking at Anko Mitarashi, whose face was ashen. She was announcing the final fate of the other woman.

The rain was still falling outside the window. Chiba hadn't expected that the weather would turn like this in the afternoon after she had just finished her assessment in the morning. She couldn't help but feel a little worried about Uchiha Tsuki's Chunin Exam.

"That little girl isn't you, so she won't receive any special treatment. There shouldn't be any problem with her passing the test," Granny Momoka's slightly sleepy voice rang out, clearly indicating that she had already analyzed the abnormality in Senba's Chunin Exam.

Upon hearing this, Chiyu refocused her attention and nodded in agreement. "I think these two examiners are among the best in Konoha. If we were to use their standards for the assessment, probably very few of Konoha's genin would pass."

Upon hearing Qianyu's words, Granny Taohua opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes filled with a hint of regret. "Actually, their father was even more outstanding. It's a pity you were born too late, otherwise you could have witnessed their brilliance."

"Those were two different, no, they were completely opposite lives, but the final outcome was another reversal: the genius committed suicide in a humiliating way, while the mediocre burned out in a way that amazed the world."

As she spoke, Granny Momoka reached out her hand, and Chiyu quickly helped her up. The two strolled slowly around the room. "You can look up the details yourself. The clan's secret chambers aren't just about ninjutsu!"

"Get to know the real Konoha. You might be disappointed in the end, but you will definitely not repeat the mistakes of Sakumo Hatake."

"Um."

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Qianyu spoke first: "Grandma, actually, I've been suppressing my Water Release abilities throughout this battle, but that's not a long-term solution. Is there any way to...?"

"have!"

"what?"

Qianyu was taken aback by Granny Taohua's quick reply, and only came to his senses after Granny Taohua returned to her recliner.

"To outsiders, you seem to lack the water attribute from birth, so many water-based techniques are unusable, and even earth-based techniques that incorporate water attributes should be difficult to use, right?"

Momoka Senju could guess the meaning behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's gift of "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld" to Chiba with her eyes closed. She disdained to pay attention to such petty thoughts, but she naturally had a way to allow Chiba to use Water Release openly.

"That's right," Chiyu nodded in agreement. He had already learned this ninjutsu, but he couldn't use it in front of others just to disguise himself.

Granny Taohua didn't immediately tell Qianyu what the solution was. Instead, she raised her head and stared straight at the roof beam, seemingly deep in thought.

"Hashirama cells," Granny Momoka said, still gazing upwards, though her voice betrayed her weariness. "The Konoha leadership has conducted many experiments, the kind that you, Chiba, believe in."

"Even if it was done voluntarily by the tribespeople, it was still a cruel experiment. After the deaths of many tribespeople, the cytokine reagent was diluted to almost nothing."

"In the end, it had a rather useless function: it allowed the Senju clan members to possess both earth and water attributes. This result disappointed the Konoha leadership, so the reagent remained in my possession."

"The success rate is 70%. The people who went to rescue Kana were the last batch of test subjects for this drug. Chiyu, what do you think of this experiment?"

"It's pretty bad!" Qianyu didn't say anything grand about the family, but directly expressed her truest thoughts.

"Whether it's called 'voluntary' or 'for the stability of Konoha,' it's really just greed for Wood Release, only disguised with a nice-sounding guise. It's just that death hasn't befallen them, so they can make it sound more respectable."

Granny Tao Hua did not deny Qian Yu's words, but unconsciously rubbed the wooden handrail. Countless days and nights, she would think of the faces of the Death Clan.

"Once you are promoted to Special Jonin, I will spread the word that you tried to absorb diluted Hashirama cells, and you will be seriously ill."

"Once you've dealt with everyone else's checks, you can legitimately use Water Release, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura will finally give up."

"Um."

Qianyu responded softly, and then listened to the sound of rain outside the window with the seventy-year-old man, seemingly using the sound to cleanse themselves.

A moment later, seeing that Granny Taohua had fallen asleep, Qianyu quietly got up and left. Just as she was about to close the partition door, Granny Taohua's voice rang out.

"Chiba, Grandma believes you can restore the reputation of the Senju clan."

"Grandma," Chiyu said calmly, gazing at the gaunt figure of Granny Momoka, her voice resolute, "one day, I will make the entire ninja world tremble at the name of Senju Chiyu!"

Amidst Granny Taohua's contented smile, Qianyu gently closed the door and stood under the eaves, gazing at the lake surface rippling with raindrops.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The simplified hand seals created by the Second Hokage were formed by Chiba, and the next second a giant water dragon burst out of the lake, its body spiraling upwards.

However, the water dragon did not soar into the sky. Instead, it meandered around the artificial hill and appeared in front of Qianyu, appearing to be lying dormant for the time being.

He was more proficient in Water Release than in Wind Release or Earth Release, and he had also mastered Ocean Release.
