In the room belonging to the finance department, a scroll slightly longer than an adult's arm was laid out on two tables put together. The scroll was about three meters long when stretched out.

The cash, neatly stacked to the height of two people above the scroll, was, in Qianyu's own opinion, the only banknotes he had ever seen in his previous life when he was visiting graves.

"Why wasn't it sealed away!"

Senju Retsuto turned to the embarrassed finance staff member beside him and asked, "Isn't this a joke? What if Senba takes it and then discovers there's a mistake?"

If the finance department then says, "Since you took it, it must have been counted, so the problem isn't with us," Qianyu will be in an awkward situation.

Asking Qianyu to recount the money would be a joke; there simply isn't enough time.

If what's taken is the scroll containing sealed banknotes, then there will be much less trouble. Qianyu didn't handle any money throughout the entire process, so all that's needed is to check the sealing technique mark on the scroll.

Thinking about who had sabotaged Senju, Senju Retsuto's face darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"There's no problem with this money; I'll vouch for it!"

A voice came from behind the banknote. Qianyu frowned slightly upon hearing the voice. How could it be him?

"Who do you think you are... uh, advisor?"

Just as the hot-tempered Mr. Retsuto was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, Mitomon Homura appeared, staring expressionlessly at Senju Retsuto and Senba.

Seeing that Senju Retsuto was somewhat unconvinced, Mitokado Homura placed a piece of paper in front of the two of them. It was a guarantee signed by Senju Retsuto.

However, besides Senju Retsuto's signature, Mitomon Homura's name is also on the last page.

"I know this is a bit difficult for Chiyu," Mitokado Yan took off his glasses and wiped them gently. "However, coincidentally, the sealing team had something to do and couldn't come, so they made an exception to avoid delaying Chiyu's time."

"Don't worry, I've signed the guarantee too. Retsuto, you and the people from the finance department can go out now. I'll see Chiyu off after this is over."

Hearing Mitokado Homura's words, Senju Retsuto was clearly unconvinced, but after Chiyu coughed lightly and gave him a look, he left with a cold face and dissatisfaction.

"Chiba, Hiruzen said your sealing talent is quite good," Mitokado Homura said, wiping his glasses clean and about to put them back on his nose. "Could you please seal them for me? I'll see you off afterward."

Just as Mitokado Homura closed his eyes and put his glasses back on his nose, a "bang" sound rang out, and at the same time, a puff of white smoke suddenly appeared.

Mitomon Homura opened his eyes and saw that the small mountain of banknotes that had been piled up earlier had disappeared, and the arm-length scroll had been folded up and was being carried on Chiba's back.

"Advisor, there's no need to trouble yourself. I can leave on my own," Chiyu said with a gentle smile as she looked at Mitokado Homura, who seemed to be still in shock.

This time, Mitokado Homura did not stop Chiba. After watching Chiba's figure disappear through the doorway, a complex emotion appeared on his face.

Is your talent for spatial sealing techniques as outstanding as your teacher's?

It's unclear how Mitokado Homura would evaluate him. At this moment, Chiba was smiling as he left the Hokage Building, but the coldness in his eyes was even greater.

Just now, Qianyu was truly filled with murderous intent for a moment, and it seemed endless, right? Qianyu clearly displayed his talent for spatial sealing techniques just now, and he did it on purpose.

To put it bluntly, the Senju ancestral home must possess the "Flying Thunder God Technique." The fact that Senyu's spatial talent is still so good at this time makes it difficult for them to determine whether Senyu has learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This also made them somewhat wary of them afterward. If a ninja who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique were to defect, they should consider the consequences.

"Giving the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Manual to the Senju clan brat? Are you crazy, Momo? Even if his spatial talent is exceptional, it doesn't justify overstepping the rules, does it?"

In the Hokage's office, Koharu Utatane looked at him with some dissatisfaction, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing next to her, was also surprised that his old friend thought so highly of Chiba.

"The existence of rules is based on the premise of village peace. Since the Fourth Hokage died, the village has no power to maintain peace. Hiruzen, you're getting old."

Ignoring the disappointment in the Third Hokage's eyes, Mitokado Homura stated frankly, "Chiba's future path is that of a teacher, and Yamato's future path is that of the First Hokage."

"This is the most stable possibility I can see for Konoha's future, both inside and outside the village!"

"Is it the teacher's last wish?" Koharu Utatane still hadn't forgotten the policies implemented when the Second Hokage was alive, fearing that Chiba would reunite the Senju clan.

"If this leads to the destruction of Konoha, we will truly be letting our teacher down. And I said 'possibly.' Don't forget that this technique is very difficult to learn. You've all tried it, and perhaps Chiba won't be able to learn it."

Mitokado Homura's response left Utatane Koharu somewhat speechless, and she could only turn her head to look at the Third Hokage beside her.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Homura Mitokado to become so impatient, but after thinking about it, he realized that what the other man said made sense; Konoha was currently in a precarious situation.

"In that case, once Chiyu becomes a Jonin, I'll leave this matter to you, Menyan. He must learn under your supervision. After all, you said that Chiyu's talent in sealing techniques is still a notch below the teacher's, and we don't know how many chances he'll succeed."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's agreement, Homura Mitokado nodded, unconsciously adjusting his glasses. He had lied to Hiruzen.

Just then, Koharu Utatane seemed to realize something, "This matter, what about Danzo's side?"

Let's keep it from him for now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado said in unison, then looked at each other and gave each other a helpless smile.

Unaware that he had caught the eye of Mitokado Homura, Chiba had already returned to the training ground and called over Uchiha Tsuki and Mitarashi Anko.

When the two arrived, Qianyu first threw a stack of banknotes into each of their arms, a generous act that stunned both of them.

"We have a mission to the Land of Tea. This battle might involve water. Go back and prepare the necessary supplies. The team leader will pay for this mission."

At this point, Chiba ignored Anko, whose eyes were sparkling, and said, "Yue, if you're worried about Izumi, take her to the Senju family home. Karin likes her very much."

"As for Anko, if you don't have a good ninja tool shop, you can follow Yue. She will take you to buy good ninja tools." At this point, Chiba seemed to remember something.

"If you dare to use this money to buy dumplings, I'll hang you on the back of a carriage and drive you all the way to the Land of Tea."

Seeing the fear on Hongdou's face, Qianyu did not back down at all. Having only known her for two days, he had already witnessed Hongdou's terrifying love for sweets such as dumplings.

"Meet me at the gates of Konoha in three hours!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the three figures disappeared from the spot, and the first mission of the Senba Chunin Squad began.
