Konoha Inoue Chiba

Konoha, in the Hokage's office.The Sandaime was listening to the ANBU's report with a serious look on his face.

The content of the report is a bit strange, because in this month, three consecutive disappearances of Konoha ninjas have occurred.

No. 1 is the Chunin who returned to Konoha after being injured on the front line: Asuka Ishima.The second person was also a chuunin, a ninja who had returned from being injured on the front line.

As for the third person, the only difference from the first two is that he was not injured.

The three of them were all Chuunin, and apart from the fact that they were all male, they had absolutely no relationship with each other.They are of different ages and abilities, and they don’t know each other.

The Sandaime clasped his hands together and supported his chin: "I understand, continue to collect relevant missing information."

"Hi" the ANBU responded before disappearing.

The third generation stood up, and the two auxiliary ninjas behind him were startled: "Hokage-sama, are you ready..." "Go out for a walk. I haven't gone out for a long time to take a look. You don't need to follow." After the third generation finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the Hokage's office.

"Hi" the two auxiliary ninjas said in unison.After the third generation left, they looked at each other and seemed to feel that the third generation seemed a little tired today and different from usual.

Presumably, he is really tired

Konoha is big and peaceful.Although peace is the glory that floats on the water, it is also peace.No matter how turbulent the undercurrents are in the depths of the water, at least the surface is calm.

It was getting late now, and the Sandaime was walking on the street wearing a god robe.Facing the wind is like an ordinary person's regular exercise after a meal.

Although it was getting late, there were still people on the street.When they saw the third generation, they couldn't help but stop to say hello to the third generation, with reverence, adoration, and deep trust in their eyes.

The third generation is very easy-going and has no airs about Hokage. He nods in response to everyone who greets him.He is very popular among the villagers, which indirectly proves that he is successful and his efforts are certainly worth it.

Konoha is really good. It was established by the first generation and managed by the second generation. After he took over, he worked hard to manage it. Only now can we have this scene, this scale, and this peace.

However, the third generation still feels that the burden on his shoulders is not light.Not because it is the third war, but because of the trust from every villager.

They believe that they can lead them on this peaceful path.It is this kind of trust that makes them not afraid of sacrifice, but they have the courage to sacrifice, and strive to follow the footsteps of the three generations and guard this hard-won peace.

"It's so tiring to defend Konoha like this," the third generation sighed in his heart.Unknowingly, it has been many years since he became Hokage.He seems to be much older.

Although the overall situation of the three battles is now decided, I feel a little tired.

The word "tired" had never occurred to me before, but now it really flashed in my mind.

"It seems it's time to let go and leave the village to the young people," he whispered in his heart.Sandai seems to be in a bad mood today.

The third generation has been walking in Konoha, a bit like wandering aimlessly.

Somehow, the third generation ended up in Orochimaru's mansion. He stood in the distance and looked at Orochimaru's luxurious mansion. He seemed to be hesitating about something.

"I hope it has nothing to do with you." The third generation sighed softly, then turned and left, his figure a little bleak.Like an old man in his twilight years.

In the Kingdom of Earth, Team Kakashi is on a infiltration mission and has just entered the Kingdom of Earth.

The mission is going quite smoothly at this stage, thanks to the information obtained from the two Iwa ninjas.

The four Chiba people skillfully avoided the guard range of the Iwa Ninja.Without prior intelligence, a group of four people might just crash into someone's garrison area.

The Kingdom of Earth is somewhat similar to the Kingdom of Wind, but they are very different.

If the Kingdom of Wind is completely a desert, then the Kingdom of Earth is a desolate rock, just like the Gobi.

The Gobi rocks stand tall with some weeds growing on them. Water resources are not abundant here, so although the coverage of green plants is much better than that of the Country of Wind, it cannot be compared with that of the Country of Fire.

Entering the Kingdom of Earth, Chiba immediately understood why several important wars in the ninja world were fought between all the ninja villages and the Kingdom of Fire.

Because the Fire Country occupies the most resource-rich area on the Ninja World map.

This is the most suitable place for human habitation and the development of Ninja Village.If Chiba were the leader of other ninja villages, he would definitely choose to go to war without hesitation as long as there was a chance to defeat the Fire Country.

Because resources are development, and resources are the driving force for Ninja Village to survive.

It was the first time for the four of Chiba to enter the Kingdom of Earth. After entering, they were naturally shocked by the scenery of the Kingdom of Earth.

Humans are the creatures that adapt to the environment the fastest, not to mention ninjas, they adapt very quickly.

The shocking environment naturally failed to stop the four of them from walking. After just one day of traveling, they finally saw their first person.

A Konoha ninja desperately running away.

This ninja is about 40 years old, has a Konoha ninja forehead, and suffered some serious injuries on his body.He ran away desperately, and after seeing the four people in Qianye, his eyes showed hope.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and when they found each other, Kakashi made a gesture to pause the movement.

"Companions of Konoha" After seeing each other's dressing up, the four people in Chiba all let out an exclamation of surprise.They didn't expect to see Konoha's companions in Earth Country.Presumably this companion is also performing an important infiltration mission.

The companion was injured, and the injury should be real.You can tell it completely from his running movements and expressions.

"Want to save?"

Kakashi hesitated, because the four of them had other more important tasks, and now they met an injured companion by chance, so they hesitated.

"Of course we need to save our comrades," Obito was still so enthusiastic and immediately answered loudly.

Nohara Lin directly expressed through actions that she was a medical ninja, and her companion who ran in front was obviously seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment.

"Wait a minute." Chiba stretched out his hand and stopped Nohara Lin who was about to greet her.

Sanxiao looked at Qianye at this time and didn't understand what she meant.

"Things are not simple. When he rushes over, disperse into an encircling formation." Chiba did not explain, but spoke directly in a commanding tone, as if he had temporarily replaced Captain Kakashi's position.

"Could it be..." Kakashi glanced at Chiba and seemed to understand what Chiba meant, but he didn't finish his words.

Chiba nodded, Kakashi was startled, then understood, and then agreed: "Just do what Chiba said."

The captain and deputy captains instantly agreed. Although Obito and Nohara Rin didn't quite understand, they still actively cooperated in the implementation.Compared with the injured companion in front of them, they are more willing to believe in the decisions of Kakashi and Chiba.

After all, this is the country of earth, and it is the enemy's rear. If you make one mistake, the whole game will be lost.

Looking at the Konoha companions who were staggering and running excitedly, Chiba narrowed his eyes slightly: "I hope I am overthinking it, and I hope you are a true companion."
