Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

He also saw Hinata Nami, whose face showed some sadness. She nodded to him as a greeting.

then.

People took turns presenting flowers.

Next.

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to give his speech.

"The ninjas who sacrificed themselves for the village this time are all heroes of Konoha. Their heroic spirits burned themselves to light the way forward for the village. We must never forget them!"

"bow!"

The sound faded.

Everyone bowed in unison.

After the memorial service.

People left one after another.

Genye saw Kakashi, and the latter saw him too, but his expression was unfriendly.

After all, Genba tore off the last page of Icha Icha Paradise, preventing Kakashi from knowing the ending, which made the latter somewhat angry.

Xuan Ye immediately said, "Isn't this our Captain Kakashi? It's been so long, I've missed you terribly!"

After saying that.

Genba, being very outgoing, tried to put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder.

But seeing Kakashi's indifferent gaze, he gave a dry laugh and dismissed the idea.

What if the other party uses a "Raikiri" attack on me?

That would be troublesome...

"Yo! It's actually one of our Uchiha geniuses!" A young man with a watermelon-shaped haircut walked out from behind Kakashi. He was wearing a black tracksuit and had a set of white teeth.

He is none other than "Konoha's Blue Beast" Might Guy!

Might Guy heard that Genba and Shisui had joined forces to defeat the Eight-Tails on the battlefield, so he greatly admired Might Guy's strength.

Xuan Ye also exclaimed "Oh!" and then said, "Oh, it's Brother Kai! It's been so long, I've missed you terribly!"

Then.

Genba, in a very familiar manner, put his arm around Might Guy's shoulder.

This left Matt Kai completely bewildered.

Isn't this our first meeting? Why is there any "long time no see, I miss you so much"?

Kakashi and Itachi remained silent.

This damn social arrogance...

After a round of mutual flattery between Might Guy and Matt Kay, the two soon began to address each other as brothers.

Might Guy spoke to Xuan Ye with a solemn expression.

"Brother Gen-ye, if you encounter any trouble in Konoha in the future, as long as you find me, Might Guy will definitely not hesitate to help!"

"Then I'll thank Brother Kai in advance!" Xuan Ye said gratefully, and then continued:

"To be honest, Brother Guy, I do have a favor to ask. In the recent war with Kumogakure, Root leader Shimura Danzo was completely tactless, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many Konoha ninjas. I really couldn't stand by and watch, so I'm begging Brother Guy to help teach him a lesson!"

As Gen-ye finished speaking.

The remaining three stared at him in disbelief.

It's true that Danzo was removed from his position as leader of Root, but his status and position were still there.

Send Might Guy to teach Danzo a lesson? Isn't that asking the impossible?

"Well..." Might Guy, the person in question, was filled with regret. How could he have fallen for Gen Ye's sweet words and uttered such arrogant remarks?

Seeing Xuan Ye looking at him innocently with his big eyes, Might Guy was very conflicted and troubled.

But he didn't dare to attack Danzo!

At this moment, Kakashi spoke up, saying:

"Kai, don't listen to his nonsense, let's go."

"Brother Xuan Ye, next time let's choose an easier target. I'll do my best." Might Guy's voice trailed off as the two figures gradually disappeared.

I pulled myself back to reality.

Holding daisies, Genye arrived at a tombstone, the place where his parents were buried together.

Put down the daisies in your hand.

Staring at the tombstone before him, the name on it both familiar and unfamiliar, Xuan Ye fell silent, his heart filled with deep emotion.

Although he doesn't have a deep impression of his parents, the blood ties between them are unbreakable.

People live in this world.

The first thing to learn is gratitude.

The itachi beside him remained silent.

He did not speak to disturb Xuan Ye.

Itachi in a moment of confusion.

Xuan Ye's words touched him deeply.

Genba envies Itachi for having family by his side.

No need to worry about daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

It can engage in dialogue with the world on an equal footing.

This is what Gen-ye envies.

Today, Itachi truly understands the meaning of Genba's words.

Why was Genba so rebellious? The main reason was that the Konoha higher-ups withheld his pension, almost making him unable to survive.

Since you won't let me live, I certainly won't let you old geezers have an easy time!

Are you remembering your loved ones?

"But... there is no point in mourning the dead."

A soft, slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

The two of them looked at the person who had spoken.

He was a tall, slender, middle-aged man with a pale face.

He has a pair of golden vertical pupils.

He exuded a cold and sinister aura.

Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!

"Greetings, Lord Orochimaru!" Genye took a deep breath and bowed.

In front of this dangerous person.

It is not wrong to maintain the necessary humility.

The cliché phrase "It's been a long time, I've missed you terribly" used to build rapport is not suitable for Orochimaru.

Itachi also greeted Orochimaru.

"You know me?" Ignoring Itachi, Orochimaru's gaze fell on Genba. He licked his pale lips with his scarlet tongue, and a half-smile appeared on his face, which was a little creepy.

Genye looked up, his dark eyes meeting Orochimaru's golden pupils, a smile playing on his lips, and spoke with reverence.

"Lord Orochimaru, during the Second Shinobi World War, you served as a key force in the village and made numerous contributions. Due to your outstanding performance, you were awarded the title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."

"During the Third Shinobi World War, it played an irreplaceable and crucial role."

“During the first day of school, your homeroom teacher introduced you with your photo. I recognized you the moment I saw you.”

Since Gen-ye is acting, he should act vividly.

"The Legendary Sannin of Konoha?" Orochimaru chewed on those words repeatedly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. He looked up at the giant statue on the Hokage Rock and spoke sarcastically.

"I'm just a worthless piece of trash who isn't valued, and I don't deserve your respect."

He made countless contributions to the village.

escape.

He lost to a greenhorn when competing for the Hokage position.

It's laughable just thinking about it.

"Sarutobi-sensei, are you humiliating me? Heh..."

Hearing Orochimaru's slightly chilling words, Gen Ye didn't say anything more. He knew that remaining silent was the best choice at this moment.

"If death has any meaning, it only exists when it can be used."

"Only life is eternal, and only then does it have meaning."

Orochimaru was speaking to Genyo.

It's also something I'm saying to myself.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

He lifted the black hair from his forehead.

Orochimaru left the cemetery.

"He's finally gone!" After Orochimaru left, Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, his back seemingly drenched in cold sweat.

Orochimaru is incredibly powerful, and his cold and gloomy personality puts a lot of pressure on others!

Gen Ye's expression remained largely unchanged.

After all, he is quite strong.

As I passed by a low tombstone.

Genye placed a bunch of daisies down.

The name on the tombstone is "Uchiha Obito".

Large-scale memorial events like those in Konoha.

Obito might be observing from the shadows.

Flowers were placed on his tombstone.

It was just to win his favor.

After all, Genba, who was known for keeping his mouth shut, betrayed Obito immediately after confirming that he had left.

but.

Genba respects Obito for sacrificing himself to save his teammates.

This bunch of daisies.

Let's consider this a tribute to Obito, who once protected his teammates.

"Gen-ye, do you know Obito-senpai?" Itachi asked, puzzled.

"I don't know him personally, but I've heard about his sacrifice to save his teammates, and I admire him very much."

Xuan Ye shook his head and spoke.

Not long after Xuan Ye left, when the cemetery was deserted.

Ripples spread across the space.

A mysterious person wearing a tiger-striped mask appeared here.

Obito, disguised as Madara Uchiha!

He gazed at the bunch of daisies beneath his tombstone.
