Inside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage is busy dealing with the affairs after the recent war between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village. Although the war has temporarily ended, this conflict has brought an unprecedented crisis to Konoha, and the losses in manpower, material resources and other resources are very heavy.

However, the new generation of ninjas showed extraordinary strength, giving Konoha a glimmer of hope for the future. They include Uchiha Chiba, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy and Asuma. They will all become the pillars and main fighting force of Konoha in the future!

Especially Uchiha Chiba, the Third Hokage was very satisfied with him and admired him more and more because Chiba's talent even surpassed the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and he might surpass the First Hokage in the future.

As we all know, the Uchiha clan has always been the focus of Konoha's high-level officials. This tradition has been formed since the Second Hokage. Especially Shimura Danzo, he has always had a deep prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Although the Third Hokage opposed Danzo's methods on the surface, he actually acquiesced to his attitude, which means that the Third Hokage was also highly vigilant against the Uchiha clan in his heart.

Danzo was like the shadow behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, silently bearing all the dark sides of Konoha. Therefore, Danzo became the scapegoat and took all the blame, while the Third Generation looked glorious. Truly wise people know that Danzo and the Third Generation are not much different in essence.

Although Uchiha Chiba was born in the Uchiha clan, he was not welcomed in the clan after losing his parents in the Third Ninja World War. Chiba had almost no contact with the Uchiha clan, and his only contact was limited to the Uchiha Yue family.

The Third Hokage was convinced that Chiba was disgusted with the Uchiha clan because he was almost expelled by the Uchiha clan for some unknown reasons when he was young. But in fact, Chiba did not have particularly strong feelings for the village and the Uchiha clan. In his opinion, there was no essential difference between the two. As for being expelled by the Uchiha clan, Chiba did not take it to heart at all. It was indeed because some of his actions were not understood, and the Uchiha clan did not take any actual action against him, so Chiba did not dislike them, but took it easy.

At this time, the Third Hokage was looking through the information. When he saw the part about Uchiha Chiba, he became more and more satisfied: "In just a few years, he has won the title of the God of Death, and his strength has surpassed that of a Jonin. He is truly a genius!"

"Tsk, tsk, three years have passed. What are you sighing about when looking at my photo? I don't like men!" Suddenly, Chiba's voice appeared in the ears of the Third Hokage, and he shuddered. Then, he turned around and saw Chiba jumping in through the open window.

The Third Hokage was embarrassed and asked in confusion: "What does 'gay' mean!?"

He looked at Qianye, pointed forward, and said seriously: "Do you think this door is just a decoration? How come you don't know any rules?"

Qianye shrugged and replied nonchalantly: "Don't worry about the details, it's faster this way. I came to you as soon as I returned to the village!"

The Third Hokage looked even more embarrassed, as if he could squeeze water out of him: "Kakashi has already told me that you came back with him, but when you returned to the village you went on a date with your girlfriend. Do you still dare to say that you were the first to report here!?"

The corner of Chiba's mouth twitched, and he cursed Kakashi in his heart for telling everything: "That girl is not my girlfriend at all. To be exact, she is my childhood sweetheart - well, she should be in the future."

"Alright -" The third generation waved his hand, indicating that he would not mention the matter. After two years of experience, Chiba became more casual and free-spirited, which was very similar to his master Jiraiya.

As long as he's not as sinister as Orochimaru, it'll be fine. Looking at Chiba, the Third Hokage showed a satisfied smile: "In this war, you are our greatest hero. Konoha can win, and your contribution cannot be ignored!"

"As a member of Konoha, this is what I should do. I am the successor to the will of fire!" Chiba said this, but in fact he was just putting on a show.

After hearing Chiba's answer, the Third Hokage smiled and nodded. Seeing Chiba's look, he was even more satisfied. So he smiled and asked, "By the way, you have fought with the Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, and you have also attacked the Hidden Cloud Village. What do you think of their strength?"

This is what the Third Hokage really cares about.

Qianye looked at Sandai doubtfully and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

The third generation nodded, of course he wanted to hear the truth.

"Strong and unfathomable!" Chiba commented. Hearing this, the Sandaime fell silent, his expression became solemn. Before he could speak, Chiba continued, "The Jinchūriki is very strong. I can barely deal with him in a one-on-one fight, but we are only evenly matched. As for the Raikage, I can't beat him yet. And the Hidden Cloud Village has two adult Jinchūriki!"

One is Killer Bee, and the other is the two Yukitos. They can both control the tailed beasts. Among them, the two Yukitos are slightly weaker and cannot fully control the two-tailed beast. However, Killer Bee is a complete freak. Even if he has not reached his strongest state, Chiba believes that if he is determined to deal with him, he can still successfully defeat him.

As for the Raikage, Chiba could only smile bitterly. He was not ready to fight a monster like that yet.

"If the Hidden Cloud Village is really determined to attack our Konoha with all its strength, unless the three ninjas return and the Fourth Hokage takes charge, otherwise -"

Chiba did not continue speaking, but his words were very clear: the current peak combat power of the Hidden Cloud Village is indeed stronger than that of Konoha, this is an indisputable fact.

"However, this kind of thing is impossible to happen, unless the Hidden Cloud Village has taken the wrong medicine and intends to perish together with our Konoha!"

"Yeah--"

The Third Hokage sighed.

Whether it was Tsunade's departure, Jiraiya's traveling, Orochimaru's rebellion, or Minato Namikaze's sacrifice, it seemed that these events were closely related to him.

“Maybe, I’m really old!?”

"By the way, Chiba, when did you learn Wood Release?"

Sandai suddenly remembered this important matter.

Wood Release, this skill is extraordinary.

It was once a ninjutsu to quell troubled times. Since the death of the first Hokage, Konoha has paid a huge price to train ninjas who can inherit Wood Release, but has never succeeded.

In the end, Orochimaru used human lives to create a Yamato, and the power of the Wood Release that Yamato mastered was far inferior to that of the first generation.

However, in this war, Chiba actually used Wood Release, and its power was strong enough to restrain the tailed beasts, which was undoubtedly amazing.

One can't help but wonder whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Chiba, as a member of the Uchiha clan, to learn Wood Release. This reminds the Third Hokage of Danzo.

"Wood Release?! Oh, by the way, didn't you ask me to learn Ninjutsu from Tsunade? She said there was a Wood Release Ninjutsu left by the first generation, so I tried to learn it using water and earth attribute chakra, and I didn't expect it to be successful!"

"that's all?!"

The third generation opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.

Chiba spread his hands and answered nonchalantly.

"Yes, that's it!"

Oh my god, could you please not say such things in such a nonchalant tone.

Sandai really wants to run up and beat Chiba up now.

The entire Konoha once tried its best and spent countless resources on outstanding ninjas, but in the end, it didn't even train a single Wood Release ninja.

But in Qianye's hands, he learned it just by trying it casually! ?

What a genius! This kid is definitely a rare genius seen once in a thousand years!

Maybe Chiba is more powerful than the first generation, and is not inferior to Uchiha Madara!

Looking at Sandai's dark face that was almost dripping with water, Qianye hurriedly smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I was just joking. It took me a lot of effort to learn Wood Release! Really!"

The third generation did not respond, but just stared at Chiba's infuriating expression. He wanted to be angry but couldn't.

However, he was indeed very happy in his heart. After all, it was Wood Release, the ninjutsu to quell troubled times, and the first generation finally had someone to inherit it.

"By the way, Sandaime, do you have any Wood Release Ninjutsu here? Preferably the S-level or super S-level Ninjutsu used by the Shodai-sama. The more the better!"

"S-rank ninjutsu?! That's a forbidden technique... forget it. I won't give it to you until you're eighteen years old!"

Damn it, the secret technique of Tree World Advent is not a forbidden technique! Didn’t I learn it anyway? If the Third Hokage had half the magnanimity of Tsunade, he wouldn’t have let Konoha fall to the point it is now.

Chiba understood the reason for Konoha's decline. It turned out that it was because the Third Hokage was inflexible!

"Haven't I already learned the Tree World Advent? Why is there so much trouble... My chakra is enough for me to use these ninjutsu!"

Qianye patted his chest and said confidently.

The third generation raised his eyes, glanced at Chiba half-doubtfully, and then spoke.

"Then I'll give you one first. There aren't many Wood Release Ninjutsu left from the first generation, and even fewer S-level Ninjutsu!"

Hearing this, Qianye curled his lips. One book is better than no book.

"By the way, Tsunade also gave me some of the Second-generation Master's S-level water-style ninjutsu..."

Before Chiba could finish his words, Sandai interrupted him angrily.

"What!? He gave you all of the Second-Daime's ninjutsu?! And they're S-rank ones—!?"

The third generation was speechless. That was an S-level ninjutsu. Although every S-level ninjutsu had overwhelming power, it was also very dangerous. Some could even cause harm to the caster himself. Therefore, many S-level ninjutsu were listed as forbidden techniques.

"What on earth is this Tsunade thinking——"

The third generation glanced at Qianye, who looked displeased.

"I'm telling you, this is what my master Tsunade gave me. Don't even think about asking me to take it out. I haven't even finished learning it myself!"

"I won't let you take it out. Since it was given to you by Tsunade, it means she recognizes your strength! With your chakra, it shouldn't be a problem for you to perform one or two S-level ninjutsu!"

"That's it. By the way, I haven't seen any ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God. Do you have any here?!"

"Flying Thunder God!"

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the deceased Fourth Hokage Minato. His nickname "Yellow Flash" came from the fastest space ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God.

"I don't have it here anymore. When Orochimaru coveted the forbidden technique, he tried to seize Flying Thunder God. It was at that time that the Flying Thunder God scroll was destroyed!"

After hearing this, Qianye felt disappointed.

It turns out that since the fourth generation, no one has learned Flying Thunder God not because it is difficult to learn, but because it has been lost!

"Really? That's such a pity!!"

Chiba originally wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. This kind of plug-in that is almost like teleportation, if combined with his long-range super destructive power, his combat power will definitely explode!

"By the way, Sandaime, I have one more thing... well, it should be considered a small request! I hope you can agree to it!"

"Oh?! If it's not an S-rank jutsu, it might be too early for you!"

The Third Generation looked at Chiba in confusion. Facing the greatest genius and hero in Konoha's history, he would probably agree to anything that was possible.

"I want to leave the Anbu for a while."

The Sandai frowned.

"Did some misunderstanding occur between you and Captain Kakashi?!"

"No, Captain Kakashi is a very good man and has saved my life many times! This is just my personal reason!"

"Then please go ahead!"
