Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Most importantly, she can clearly feel the depletion of her eye power when using the Mangekyou Sharingan, but it is irreversible!

Perhaps the Senju clan possesses some secret technique that could help the Uchiha break free from this limitation...

After reading the stone tablet, Yueye explained that the three people represented the mild, neutral, and tough factions, serving as the leaders of the three teams.

We must work together to make the Uchiha clan better in the future.

The three nodded in agreement.

Simultaneously,

Before the three left the shrine, Mikoto asked Keima, a veteran Jonin, about the Sharingan...

"Mikoto, from what you're saying... you wouldn't happen to..."

As they walked away from the shrine, Keishin overheard Mikoto's question and naturally made his own guess.

After all, Shirahoshi was the man Mikoto had always pursued. It's said that before he died, Shirahoshi accepted Mikoto's advances.

However, many believe that Shirahoshi intended to formally accept the women and truly become a scumbag in Konoha, but didn't have time to...

"Mm." Mikoto nodded in response, but then added, "Please don't leak my information, Uncle Keishin."

"You know...the village nowadays..."

"Hmm. Don't worry, the Uchiha clan isn't peaceful either. Being divided into three factions is actually beneficial for the Uchiha's survival." Uchiha Keishin was well aware that the village didn't trust the Uchiha clan, and that there were some dissenting voices within the Uchiha clan as well.

He, Mikoto, and Fugaku have a heavy burden to bear in the future!

Then, he answered questions about his Mangekyou Sharingan:

"You're right."

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is an evolutionary mode that can only be activated when there is a significant change in emotions."

"And every time I use my eye technique..."

At this point, Qi Zhen covered one eye and said, "That's how it is with my right eye."

"It was frequently used during World War II, and Susanoo and its eye techniques were also used in the incident involving the surgeon..."

This has caused my vision to occasionally become blurry.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Uncle Qizhen hardly ever went out after returning from World War II." Mikoto finally understood.

Uncle Qizhen has also carried a lot on his shoulders.

"Uncle Qizhen, do you believe there is a technique in this world that can create peace?"

Mikoto's sudden question caught Keishin off guard.

But soon, Qi Zhen coldly shook his head: "If such a ninjutsu existed, the Sage of Six Paths in the past would probably have used it long ago."

"That's right."

Mikoto said this, but she was actually guessing as well. She also needed to find the masked man and get closer before making any further moves...

Konoha Hospital.

Nono submitted her resignation.

As the dean of the department, Tsunade was somewhat shocked.

"Nonou, why?"

"Shirahoshi-sensei is gone. I... I feel I have more important things to do."

"what?"

"I have already applied for the position of director of the village orphanage. I'm sorry, teacher, I can no longer study medicine under your guidance."

Before him, Nono bowed respectfully and said.

Tsunade remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Will you fulfill your original dream?"

"Yes!" Nono tried her best to smile. "I made a promise with Shirahoshi-sensei that I would open an orphanage so that children who have lost their parents and families could have a wonderful childhood!"

"Now, it's time."

"Then, I will keep your medical license." Tsunade bit her lip, afraid that the tears in the corners of her eyes would fall.

"Okay. Thank you, Tsunade-sensei! I, Nonou, will never forget your great kindness~"

In the following month,

Pharmacist Nonou resigned from her position as chief physician (Jonin) and took up the post of director of an orphanage.

Kenji stepped down, and Uchiha Mikoto became the elder of the Uchiha clan.

Yuhi Ryuun remains a Jonin, but stays at the clan headquarters, supposedly to guard Shirahoshi's spirit. If she could, she wouldn't be too keen to participate in this war.

The list of Jonin remaining in the village was expanded to include Yuhi Ryuun.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted to investigate the truth behind Shirahoshi's death, so he became a squad leader to fill the gap in the Anbu, which was currently lacking in officers.

Might Guy was still a genin, but for some reason, when he and Guy were training around the village, he would often walk to an abandoned wooden hut on the outskirts of the village and stand there, frozen in place...

It seems that Shirahoshi's death ended quietly.

Actually.

War is coming!

Even though Shirahoshi is very popular, when the battlefield comes, sadness can only be transformed into motivation to move forward and urge her comrades to continue!

"The Sand Village's ninja forces have arrived in the Land of Rivers, and they are currently completing their deployment!"

"Quickly, deliver this intelligence to the Hokage Building! Quickly!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi, the current head of Konoha's intelligence department.

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building, he immediately reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi in his office.

"Thank you for your help, Haiyi."

"It seems that war is imminent."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino nodded, but then, remembering what had happened a month ago, he couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Hokage!"

"Yes, go ahead." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his gaze from the report and looked at Inoichi Yamanaka.

"Shirahoshi's condition..."

"I've already handed that matter over to Shinnosuke's ANBU squad."

"Moreover, the village cannot send more people to investigate."

"And Uchiha Madara..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled asking Tsunade if the First Hokage had told him the location of Madara's grave...

The result, naturally, was nothing.

In Madara's original grave, the Second Hokage couldn't find Madara's body and suspected that his brother, the First Hokage, had done it. He didn't question him to avoid causing trouble for his brother.

The First Hokage was unaware of this.

Therefore, Ban's death has always been certain.

"If the opponent really has Madara's strength, Mikoto's team, including Mikoto herself, has absolutely no chance of surviving."

Hiruzen Sarutobi offered a fair assessment. He had witnessed firsthand the power of Madara Uchiha against the First Hokage!

The scene, the fight...

If an ordinary Uchiha could do that, let alone him, even during the time when his second teacher was in power and Elder Setsuna rebelled, the Hokage position would have been held by an Uchiha long ago.

"I see... then I can breathe a sigh of relief." Yamanaka Inoichi was worried that Uchiha Madara's defenses in Konoha were weak, and that he would attack Konoha.

Now, there's no First Hokage to stop us!

Yamanaka Inoichi then thought of another issue and said, "However, I suggest regarding Kaori's safety..."

"Don't worry." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "I've left Kaori's safety to Sakuya!"

"Lord White Fang... uh. But... is he really alright?"

"no problem."

"He used to be the head of the secret service, someone who had never failed a mission."

Even that time...it was the same!

The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

There is Tsunade, who is still the head of the Senju clan, and Sakumo Hatake, who moved to the Senju clan's territory to become Kaori's teacher. They are two Kage-level fighters, one a healer and the other an attacker.

As for Kaori, it's impossible for her to be abducted by Kumogakure again!

That time, Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to question the Hidden Cloud Village, but what would happen after he did?

Given the personality of the Hidden Cloud Village,

Furthermore, last time the other side only sent a little over a hundred ninjas to the Land of Whirlpools, so they couldn't figure out the number of ninjas or the strength of the other side's ninja villages.

If this leads to the Third Shinobi World War, that would be a huge disaster.

Because, not long after the battle with Konoha, the number of ninjas who suddenly defected, retired due to mental illness, retired due to physical disability, or died in battle was about 2,500!

In just five years, the actual number of ninjas recruited was less than 1,500.

This still includes cases involving genin (lower-ranking ninja).

The losses of 2,500 were mostly at the Chunin level!

One can imagine that

Konoha appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it has already prepared for a defensive battle with the other four major villages.

Simply put, it means waiting for the enemy to attack, then attacking back to annihilate the enemy's attacking forces.

Wait until the enemy forces are heavily wounded and finally retreat before advancing to their borders.

Victory can still be achieved.

This is a protracted war! Let's see whose ninja village can hold out longer!
