The heads of several large orphanages in Konoha were in high spirits today because kind-hearted people had sponsored their orphanages.

Today's meals were far more lavish than usual, and each child received new clothes and toys. Lying on brand-new sheets at night, with toys in their arms, they even fell asleep with smiles lingering on their lips.

Just as the moon was rising high in the sky, in the back room of one of the orphanages, a short figure was taking stock of the supplies and donations received that day.

Although many people could handle such matters, Kabuto Yakushi cherished this trivial matter because he was about to leave Konoha. It was for this reason that Danzo agreed to let him come back to visit the orphanage one last time.

As time passed, when he came to one of the white boxes, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes flashed with excitement as he touched the distinct texture on the box, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to check the next box.

An hour later, Kabuto placed the compiled list and the money he had accumulated over this period on the bedside table of the sleeping director.

Then, he looked around with lingering affection, slowly withdrew from the place, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

"Goodbye, my home. I will come back. And... Senju Senba, you are such a good person. I will remember that."

"yawn!"

Having just finished her training, Qianyu looked around in bewilderment. This yawn came out so suddenly; could it be that she had caught a cold?

Thinking of this, Qianyu shook her head and chuckled, saying that it would be a joke if she caught a cold with her constitution.

Thinking of this, he turned around and went to sleep. He had to get up early to cultivate tomorrow, so it wasn't good to stay up late. By the way, had Dou received my message yet?

A moment later, the sound of even breathing filled the room; Konoha Village remained as peaceful as ever tonight.

"The soil and rocks just vanished without a trace. Perhaps they encountered an unmatched opponent?"

When the elderly Onoki saw this report after staying up all night, he really wanted to use Dust Release to physically eliminate the intelligence personnel on the other side.

As the village with the most ninjas among the five great ninja villages, Iwagakure doesn't care about the disappearance of a single ninja, but he cares a lot about Iwagakure's future interests in the Land of Rain.

Suppressing his anger, Onoki coldly looked at his subordinate. "Go contact Hanzo and demand an explanation. Also, wasn't our agreement to deal with the Akatsuki organization? Go investigate them."

"Finally, investigate whether there were any ninjas from the other four major ninja villages in Amegakure when Tsuchishi died. Although Tsuchishi's skills were not great, he was still a Jonin and wouldn't have died so easily at the hands of others."

"If you bring this kind of thing again, don't come looking for me. Go find some yellow earth instead."

Looking at his subordinate who was sweating profusely, Onoki calmly said, but at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

"boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, waking the sleeping Iwagakure village from the darkness, and nearly half of the lights came on.

"Deidara, you brat!"

With a roar from Onoki's son, Huangtu, the remaining half of the lights in Iwagakure came on. Seeing this, Onoki shook his head, clutching his aching back, and left the office.

What a tragedy! How could I have ever chosen that little bastard Deidara? He's ruined his reputation in his later years!

As the noise from Iwagakure gradually subsided, the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, and a new day began.

As dawn broke, in the training ground, Uchiha Tsuki, Mitarashi Anko, and Gekko Hayate joined forces to besiege Might Guy.

Might Guy, who naturally loves to burn with youthful energy, is endlessly enthusiastic about this kind of battle, so sparring with Chiba and others is his favorite thing to do.

Meanwhile, Chiba was holding a pen and paper, meticulously recording Anko's combat ninjutsu and habits.

Red Bean's nature is fire, which coincides with the Moon, so there's no need to worry too much. Few can rival the Uchiha's fire jutsu.

The problem lies in her snake ninjutsu, which is connected to Orochimaru's lineage and possesses both eerie and poisonous attributes, making her a master of close combat and torture.

In fact, Mitarashi Anko could have completely imitated Orochimaru's fighting style and reached the level of a Jonin. However, in the original work, her strength was always that of a Special Jonin, which is interesting.

Chiyu's estimation was correct; the Heavenly Curse Seal on the back of Anko's neck was the cause of all this. The original work stated that the function of this unfinished curse seal was limited to sensing Orochimaru and occasionally experiencing sudden, intense pain, and had no other functions.

Qianyu didn't believe it. How many times had the original author retconned the established plot? For example, the statement that the Third Hokage was the strongest of all the Hokage was ironic when placed later in the story.

Therefore, Qianyu was quite interested in this Heavenly Curse Seal. Don't forget the origin of this curse seal; it was a derivative of Sage Mode. He wanted to see what Hongdou's curse seal looked like.

After bringing her scattered thoughts back to the present, Qianyu carefully examined the personnel classification of her team, which remained at the elite team level.

Chiba herself has almost no weaknesses in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu; Uchiha Tsuki, with her Sharingan, is a fighting machine; and as for the final opponent, Mitarashi Anko, she is no pushover either.

"Alright, I'll apply for a new mission after today. I'll work on our teamwork and coordination then," Qianyu said with a smile, looking at the fight in the arena. More and more people were gathering around him.

When your own strength and external assistance reach a certain level, there are positions that will be pushed for you even if you don't want them. Danzo, you'd better work hard!

But at that moment, Qianyu casually swung his hand backward, and the sound of air exploding rang out. The force of the punch caused cracks to appear on the mask of the newcomer.

"I don't like people appearing behind me. I won't be responsible if you get accidentally hurt next time," Qianyu said coldly, looking at the dark figure with black hair and black eyes staring intently at her through the mask.

Just as the ANBU member in front of them was about to speak, a hearty voice rang out, "Good morning, Kakashi!"

Might Guy, who had just finished sparring, waved his hand excitedly and shouted at the Anbu members in front of Chiba.

"Holy crap, this is Kakashi-senpai!" Chiba stared blankly at the completely unfamiliar Anbu member in front of her. "He doesn't look like him at all."

Kakashi Hatake shrugged. "See? The disguises that can fool you are useless against Guy. My disguises can never be perfect."

Seeing the crack in Kakashi Hatake's mask, Chiba looked somewhat embarrassed and was about to apologize when Kakashi stopped her.

"Let's talk on the way. The Third Hokage needs to speak with you. Let's go."

They've been looking for me again lately, quite frequently. But since that's how it is, Chiyu had no choice but to say goodbye to the people in the distance and leave with Kakashi.

"I wonder what's going on this time. Is this some kind of comforting gesture?" Chiba thought helplessly, gazing at the Hokage Building that was faintly visible in her field of vision.
