Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Meanwhile, in the underground laboratory of the Sound Village.

Orochimaru stared at the content displayed on the screen and remained silent for a while.

Was Anko's cursed seal healed by Sasuke in the future?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his golden vertical pupils.

When he left Konoha, he did leave a curse mark on Anko, which was a means for him to monitor and control her.

But how could Sasuke in the future cure it?

"Interesting." Orochimaru licked his lips lightly.

"It seems that Sasuke-kun's growth is faster than I imagined."

Kabuto stood to the side, adjusted his glasses, and didn't say anything.

But he was also thinking about something: the future Sasuke could even heal the cursed seal, which meant that he was already quite familiar with Orochimaru's ninjutsu.

This is probably not good news for Lord Orochimaru.

[Fifth place, Mao Yue Xiyan. 】

The text on the sky changed, and new names appeared.

Dark training ground.

Uzuki Yugao was leaning against the wall looking at the sky when she saw her name appear, and she froze.

"I?"

Her colleagues from the secret service were also taken aback and turned to look at her.

"Xi Yan, don't you have a fiancé?"

Xi Yan didn't answer, but just stared at the sky, her expression extremely complicated.

She was a low-profile ANBU ninja who rarely participated in any public activities except for missions, yet Tianmu actually noticed even such a minor character as her?

Moreover, since she was mentioned by name, it means that she is an older unmarried woman, but she does have a fiancé!

[It's not that Xiyan doesn't have a partner, it's just that her partner left too early.]

Hayate Gekko didn't even make it to Shippuden; what a tragic life.

In the 60th year of Konoha, on the streets.

After a brief silence, someone gasped.

"Hayabusa Gekko? You mean that special Jonin? The one who coughs all the time?"

"I remember him, a fairly young man, but he looked unwell. So he really didn't live much longer?"

"If your partner left too soon, then Xiyan is just like that..."

"The widow."

The moment those three words were uttered, the surroundings fell silent.

In the training grounds of the Dark Guard, Xi Yan's body swayed slightly. She lowered her head and remained silent.

The colleague next to him opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Gekko Hayate, that's Yugao's lover. Many people in the Anbu know this, but the two of them have always kept a low profile.

But no one expected that Gale's life would be so short.

"Are you alright?" a colleague asked hesitantly.

Xi Yan raised her head and gave a somewhat forced smile.

"It's alright. Tianmu is talking about things in the future, things that haven't happened yet, right?"

[As one of the few members of the Anbu who has shown their face, Yugao's beauty, combined with her status as a widow, is truly exceptional.]

[And so many years after Hayate left, the Fourth Shinobi World War had already begun, and there were so many people in the Allied Shinobi Forces.]

[Xi Yan doesn't like any of them; her heart is always with that young, unattainable scoundrel.]

Dark training ground.

Xiyan remembered Jifeng's performance in that area, and her face instantly turned bright red.

"Fake...fake?!" Her voice trembled, a mixture of anger and embarrassment. "How could Tianmu speak like that!"

"Jifeng is just a little physically weak!"

The chatter on the streets of Konoha continued unabated.

"Tianmu said Xiyan is really pretty. I always thought the people in the Dark Division were all masked. I didn't expect there to be some good-looking ones."

"What do you know? Xiyan is famously beautiful in the Anbu, but she doesn't show her face much."

"But she only has eyes for Gale in her heart, isn't that true affection?"

"Deep affection is one thing, but to remain single for so many years for someone who has already passed away... I don't know whether to call her devoted or foolish."

..

Meanwhile, Gekko Hayate himself was standing on the rooftop, coughing as he looked at the sky.

"Died young? Me?"

His companion patted him on the shoulder, his tone heavy: "Jifeng, you should take care of your health. Don't do it so frequently before the wedding. Look at your body, sigh."

"I've always been very careful!"

"Then why are you still coughing?"

"I...."

Moonlight Gale opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't refute it.

He lowered his head, looked at his hands, then looked up at the direction where the sky had disappeared, and suddenly said something seriously.

"It seems I need to go see Lady Tsunade for a medical checkup."

[Sixth place: The Fourth Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi.]

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Heitu was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed, holding a cup of tea and gazing absentmindedly at the sky. When she saw her name appear, she almost spat out her tea.

"Cough cough cough?! Me?! I'm on the list too?!"

She sat bolt upright, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Floating in mid-air, Onoki heard Tenmu call out his granddaughter's name. He stroked his beard and slowly said, "Hmm, it seems you are indeed getting on in years."

"Grandpa! What kind of tone is that?!"

Black Earth turned and glared at him, shouting angrily.

"I'm still young!"

"Young?" Onoki glanced at her. "If you were really young, Tenbu wouldn't have called your name."

Kurotsuchi: "..."

Huang Tu stood to the side, arms crossed, with a serious expression.

"Kuroto, it seems your future love life is indeed facing some problems. But it's okay, it's not too late to find out now."

"Dad! Why are you worrying about this all the time!"

[Before he became Tsuchikage, he would constantly criticize Onoki, saying he was getting old and should retire soon.]

[But when he became the Tsuchikage, he spent all his time thinking about retiring.]

However, while Kurotsuchi's skills are average, her looks improve with each new role.

[Her legs are almost 1.2 meters long, and the cheongsam has a slit that goes all the way up to her waist.]

[But Heitu's work keeps him quite busy, so he really doesn't have time to date.]

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Heitu's expression changed from shock to subtle smugness.

She looked down at her legs, and yes, they were indeed quite long; Tianmu was right about that.

She touched her clothes again. Although she was still wearing the standard ninja attire of Iwagakure, her future self would be quite good at dressing up.

"That's all praise!"

Heitu said confidently, then frowned.

"But if you say I don't have time for dating, what exactly will I be busy with in the future?"

Huang Tu analyzed earnestly from the side, "After all, you are the Earth Shadow, busy with affairs and managing countless matters every day. It's true that you might not have time to consider personal matters."

Heitu sighed, "But Grandpa is so old, isn't he..."

"What did you say?" Onoki's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

"N-nothing!"
