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

After finishing the white radish miso soup in the bowl, Chiyu put down the bowl and smacked her lips, savoring the light, watery taste, which was quite unique.

This meal was definitely the lightest one Chiyu had eaten in nearly a year: miso soup, steamed pear with honey, plum and yuzu tea, and a few refreshing side dishes.

One might mistake them for having afternoon tea, but compared to Qianyu's pickiness, Yueguang Jifeng across from them savored the tea with relish, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Gekko Hayate was very grateful that Chiyu had specially asked the family chef to prepare lunch for him; he hadn't missed the slight frown on Chiyu's brow.

"Ahem, so just like you guys, in our team, Yugao and I have both passed the assessment and become Chunin. Ahem, it's just that my body doesn't allow me to take on high-intensity missions."

"So after thinking it over, Xiyan and I parted ways. She went into a secret department, while I waited until I was better before going to see her."

"Ahem, the Hokage must be short-handed this time, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to be your temporary teammate, Chiba. After all, my health... ahem... wait, what's with those expressions?"

Seeing the two pairs of eyes in front of him sparkling with gossip, Moonlight Gale stopped talking. He had a feeling that Qianyu and Yue were thinking about something dirty.

"What a pity. I remember when we were in school, Xiyan was a cool and aloof beauty who never paid any attention to anyone. Tsk tsk, this cabbage was still eaten by a pig."

"That's right, that's right, what a pity."

Looking at the two people in front of him who were working together to tease him, Gekko Hayate, who was already coughing, became even more anxious, his face turning red, and he kept coughing as he pointed at Chiyu and Yu.

Fortunately, after teasing the honest man a little, Qianyu and the other person immediately straightened up and began to talk about the mission.

Of the three on this mission, Chiba serves as both a sensory ninja and a long-range artillery unit, while with the slug around, she can also act as a semi-medical ninja.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi is a master of Fire Release and ninja tools, especially skilled in swordsmanship. He can serve as a main offensive force with considerable destructive power.

Moonlight Gale is the owner of the Bloodline Limit of Transparent Escape. Combined with his family's assassination swordsmanship, he can silently take the lives of his enemies from the darkness, I guess.

Chiyu was a little worried about how long Gekko Hayate's cough, which was caused by his natural constitution. She wondered if he would cough out halfway through.

"Don't worry, when we go on the mission, cough cough, I'll bring a secret medicine that will stop my cough for a short time, cough cough."

Seeing what Chiyu was worried about, Gekko Hayate explained how he controlled his weaknesses, although this secret medicine also had certain side effects.

"We might not need to take action during this mission, so try not to take your secret medicine. I'll ask my teacher to check on you when I have the chance to see her in the future."

Upon hearing Moonlight Gale's words, Qianyu finally understood why the other party's future combat endurance was so weak. This secret medicine was a kind of anesthetic, and the more you used it, the more dependent you became. Wasn't this ridiculous?

On the other hand, when Gekko Hayate heard Qianyu's words, a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He knew all too well who Qianyu's teacher was.

After a short while, once the general situation was settled, Hayate Gekko and Light Uchiha left first to go back and prepare, planning to set off that night.

Qianyu also got up and walked towards the back courtyard. He wanted to say goodbye to Granny Taohua before leaving.

When he arrived at Granny Momoka's residence, the old lady was having dinner with Kanae and her daughter. Granny Momoka preferred light food, so she handed the delicious yakitori in front of her to Kanae.

As luck would have it, Qianyu took the opportunity to eat heartily, as the meager lunch he had just eaten had nearly starved him to death.

As Karin looked at the empty plate in her hand and then at Chiba's ravenous eating, the little girl pouted and tears welled up in her eyes.

"With so much food, you had to snatch it from Karin. That's all you've got!" Granny Momoka scolded Chiyu while handing her a pork cutlet rice bowl, which finally made the little girl stop crying and start smiling.

Chiyu chuckled, not minding at all. "Grandma, Karin is five years old this year. She'll be going to the Ninja Academy in a year. It'll be perfect if Yue's little sister goes with her."

"Go ahead, making more friends won't hurt her. But before that, you need to teach her to hide her abilities so that they don't fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives."

Granny Momoka gently rubbed Karin's head as she spoke. The ability of "Diamond Lockdown" to bind tailed beasts was truly remarkable.

Kana Uzumaki naturally wouldn't object to this; apart from the three highest-ranking members of the Senju family, she no longer trusts anyone else.

Seeing that the little girl in front of her had escaped the fate of becoming a "teething toy" in the future, Qianyu couldn't help but pat her little head with a sigh.

Karin Uzumaki, having forgotten the grudge of having her food stolen so quickly, shook her head and enjoyed her meal.

Meanwhile, in the Uchiha clan's territory, Itachi Uchiha, dressed in a well-tailored battle suit, and Shisui Uchiha, after listening to their father's teachings, turned and left.

"Itachi, this mission isn't high-level, only 'B' rank. The enemies won't be too strong, so don't worry. Your main task this time is to gain experience."

Although Uchiha Shisui knew that Itachi had already started drawing his sword and drawing blood when he was four years old, his kind-hearted nature still made him patiently remind him.

Uchiha Itachi was not impatient with this. Compared to the other arrogant clansmen, he preferred to act with Shisui, at least there was no one repeating in his ear how the clan was ostracized by the village.

Since we are all Uchiha people and part of the village, why must we distinguish between us?

With these questions in mind, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi rushed out of Konoha Village, skillfully nailed their exit permits to a pillar with kunai, and then disappeared.

The ninjas guarding the gate were already used to it; it was something ninjas did all the time, let alone the proud Uchiha clan.

"What's wrong with them? They're short a little time when they're out on a mission? They could earn a lot more by just sitting here collecting kunai, right?"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out behind the ninja guarding the gate, startling him so much that he quickly jumped aside and looked up.

He saw two boys wearing green Leaf Vests and a girl with a fan-shaped symbol on her clothes looking at him.

Just then, the white-haired boy, with a face that seemed somewhat familiar to him, handed him his exit permit for inspection.

A moment later, the ninja guarding the gate watched the three disappear into the twilight, then looked up at the golden Hokage Rock in the distance.

"Am I seeing things? How come that boy looks so much like the Second Hokage?"
