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

"Grandma, try the water yolk jelly that Mom made. It's sweet but not greasy. Brother Qianyu said it's the perfect thing for you."

Karin, holding a bowl of water yokan, smiled and handed it to Granny Momoka. Her sweet words made the old woman beam with joy.

The little sycophant knows who's in charge here and can avoid physical punishment by acting cute.

Chiyu glanced at Kanae Uzumaki's somewhat dark face beside him, picked up the steamed bun in front of him, and took a small bite. The delicate fragrance of white flour filled his mouth first, followed by the soft and delicious red bean filling, which made his eyes brighten considerably.

After giving a thumbs-up to Kanae Uzumaki, Chiba's appetite was whetted as she looked at the sweets in front of her, such as danki, kudzu mochi, and mizu yokan, and she began to devour them in a frenzy.

After Chiba recognized her skills, Kana Uzumaki's eyes lit up with joy, and her gaze toward Karin showed less dissatisfaction.

Sensing her mother's change in attitude, Karin thought she was being protected, so she lay in Momoka's arms like a little dumpling, making the old woman laugh heartily.

If Mitokado Homura had seen this, he would definitely have suggested that the Third Hokage monitor the Senju family, since Granny Momoka's mental state was much better than Hiruzen Sarutobi's.

An hour later, after the cozy afternoon tea was over, the corridor returned to its usual tranquility.

After taking a sip of tea, Granny Momoka, without waiting for Chiyu to ask any questions, focused her gaze on the fluffy white fur collar beside Chiyu. "Mitomon Homura is one of the elite guard disciples of the second-generation clan leader."

The old man spoke slowly, his voice heavy with the weight of time, "Along with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Danzo Shimura, you were all disciples of Clan Head Tobirama. You will meet the latter two sooner or later."

"Then... what did he inherit from the second generation?" Qianyu pressed.

Granny Momoka turned to look at him, a meaningful glint in her eyes: "Lord Tobirama's life was filled with courage and wisdom, ruthless methods, as well as dark schemes and a compassionate heart."

"Mitokado Homura did not inherit his combat power or his ninjutsu skills, but he did inherit his core qualities: caution, meticulousness, and attention to detail."

"He is a man who does things without being impulsive. Emotions rarely affect his thinking. He calculates every step clearly and deliberates over every decision repeatedly."

"Although this may make him seem somewhat indecisive, it also makes him less likely to be deceived by superficial calculations."

"He has Konoha in his heart. For the sake of this stability, he can be vigilant against all potential risks, including you, Kushina's child, and anything that might shake the foundation of Konoha."

"Little Chiyu, after spending time with you, I sense a faint arrogance in your eyes when you look at the Third Hokage. Don't be surprised, this old woman has lived for so many years and I wouldn't be wrong."

"You may be so confident because of your talent, but don't forget that there are many geniuses in Konoha. There are people more outstanding than you, but they all eventually came down to the three advisors of Konoha and the Hokage."

"Don't underestimate them; those who sit in this position always have qualities that others don't."

Qianyu sat quietly, listening to Granny Taohua's teachings, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the scroll.

A chilly spring breeze gently brushed his forehead, instantly clearing his head, which had recently been feverish. He realized he had made the most common mistake of those who read books: arrogance, believing that he had everything under control.

Grandma Taohua, standing nearby, nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the thoughtful expression in Qianyu's eyes. These quirks weren't a big problem since the child was still young; the only issue was that too many people were watching Qianyu.

"Summoning spell, summon a thousand spirits!"

This is a ninjutsu that Mitokado Homura gave to Chiba. The name sounds very imposing, but it's actually just so-so. Its specific function is similar to how Sasuke summoned ninja tools from his wrist when fighting the weasel in the original work.

The wristbands or clothing made of special materials are engraved with corresponding runes, which can be summoned to kill the enemy when they are careless. They are not considered trump cards, but rather hidden weapons.

However, there are advantages. It can be reused, is faster, and is relatively inexpensive. The main problem is that inscribing spatial runes is a bit troublesome, which makes Qianyu want to curse.

"This is another test. The Third Hokage used the Swamp of the Underworld to test your elemental chakra, and Mitokado Homura used spatial runes to test how strong your spatial talent is."

Granny Taohua lay leisurely on the soft couch and said, looking at Qianyu's dark face, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm speechless. Is it really necessary? How could someone as kind as me be tested like this by people in such high positions?"

"If word gets out that I've used the Flying Thunder God Technique, it'll be a disaster!"

While Qianyu was making a fuss, she "unintentionally" dropped a bombshell on Granny Taohua, who was resting with her eyes closed and hadn't even realized what was happening.

"That's natural. There are gains and losses. Since you are the successor of the Thousand Hands, then using..." Granny Momoka suddenly opened her eyes, straightened up, and looked at Senyu. "What did you just say?!"

"Um, I said I'm a kind young man, what's wrong, grandma?" A sly glint flashed in Qianyu's eyes, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, only letting it flicker slightly at the corner of his eye.

"Little Qianyu, Grandma is old, not dead," Granny Taohua clearly knew that this boy was doing it on purpose. As she spoke, she reached out to the cane beside her, obviously wanting to test its sturdiness.

"Cough cough cough cough, Grandma, I was just joking," Chiba clearly didn't want to get beaten up, so she quickly recounted her experience in the Land of Rain, including meeting Yakushi Nonou.

Upon hearing Qianyu's story, Granny Taohua's lips gradually curled up. Although she knew this day would come sooner or later, she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Very good, very good. However, consider this a trial, Xiao Qianyu. Do not use this technique lightly until you have fully mastered it, understand?"

Granny Momoka, who was originally worried about whether Chiyu would become a top-tier ninja in the future, suddenly began to worry that Chiyu would be greedy for the power of forbidden techniques and use them without restraint.

Only after Qianyu repeatedly assured her did Granny Taohua feel relieved. At the same time, she told Qianyu not to talk about this matter anymore, lest someone overhear it.

"The Senju family has always been providing relief to the villagers. Later, I'll have Yunhua send someone to include those orphanages in the relief program. Do you understand?"

Qianyu looked at Granny Taohua and bowed deeply to her.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Without going into detail about her relationship with Kabuto, Granny Momoka helped her solve the most difficult communication problem, which also made her more popular with Yakushi Nonou and Kabuto.

This shrewd old man, witnessing the decline of the Senju clan in the original story and seeing that Tsunade was not capable of reviving the clan, would likely only die in despair.
