Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "Your abilities are even better than I imagined. I have promoted you to Jonin, so once you are ready, you can report to the Anbu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was feeling a bit tired.

Danzo is no longer useful; he needs to quickly cultivate several trusted confidants capable of replacing Danzo.

"Thank you for your promotion, Lord Sandai."

Chiba scratched his head and said, "However, can I ask for a few days off first? I promised to accompany a child to the Ninja Academy's entrance exam."

……

On the streets of Konoha.

"Brother Chiba, thank you for coming to keep me company. I hope I didn't interfere with your plans."

"Silly child, of course not, didn't we already agree on that?"

Chiba pinched Nohara Rin's worried little face, smiled, and took her hand, walking towards the ninja academy.

"Huh? Isn't that...!"

As he walked down the street, Chiba's eyes narrowed as he saw a small figure struggling to help an elderly woman cross the road.

"That's right, it's Uchiha Obito!"

After confirming the other party's identity, Chiba was itching to make a move. He was wondering if he should take advantage of the fact that Obito couldn't beat him right now and find an opportunity to kill Obito!

Why do schools all over the world ban early romantic relationships?

It was because of that bastard Obito Uchiha that the world was almost destroyed because of his early romance!

But seeing Obito struggling to carry the burden, his little face flushed red, Chiba hesitated to do it.

Why did Madara choose Obito? It was because Obito knew how to take care of the elderly!

"Sigh..." Chiba sighed inwardly.

The Naruto world is really strange.

The fastest person is always late, the person who longs for peace the most always starts a war, the best friends fight the hardest, and the kindest child always wants to destroy the world...

"Lin, let's go this way."

Chiba didn't know if Rin recognized Obito, so he blocked Rin's view with his body and pulled the somewhat confused Rin along another path.

"Team Leader Nohara, this kid named Uchiha Obito is unreliable. I'll take charge of this for you; I'm breaking up this couple!"

Chiba led Rin along the way, and just as they were about to reach the entrance of the Ninja Academy, they ran into a familiar face.

"Senior Sakumo, it's been a long time!" Chiba said with some surprise.

"Well, it's Chiba. It has been a long time."

Sakumo turned around upon hearing the sound, and upon seeing Chiba, he even managed a rare smile.

"This is my child, Kakashi."

Sakumo Hatake patted the silver-haired little furball next to him, who was wrapped in a scarf and wearing a mask, and said with a smile, "Kakashi, say hello to Chiba-nii-san."

"Hello, Chiba-nii-san."

Kakashi nodded politely but coldly to Chiba.

"Tsk, look at Kakashi. He's known to wear a mask since he was little, and his parents don't have to worry about him at all. Team Leader Nohara, he's the perfect son-in-law for our little one!"

Chiba smiled and looked Kakashi up and down, his gaze as stern as that of an old father-in-law, causing Kakashi to instinctively shrink back.

“This is my team leader’s child, Nohara Rin. Maybe she’ll be studying with your child in the future….”

Chiba almost blurted out what was on his mind, but luckily he reacted quickly and changed his mind.

"Hello Sakumo-senpai, hello Kakashi, please take care of me in the future."

Lin generously stepped forward and greeted the two of them, even extending a friendly gesture to Kakashi, but unfortunately, the proud Kakashi didn't appreciate it at all.

"Chiba, walk with me for a bit, I have something to tell you."

After sending the two children to the Ninja Academy for the entrance exam, Hatake Sakumo patted Chiba on the shoulder and said...

"Ah? Okay, Sakumo-senpai."

Chiba was initially puzzled, but seeing Sakumo's solemn expression, his own face also turned serious.

What Senior Sakumo is about to say is probably not good news!

Chapter 68 Joining the Dark Division, Nine-Tailed Fox Goes Berserk?

In Konoha, in a secluded grove of trees.

Sakumo Hatake handed Chiba a bottle of drink and said casually, "Chiba, I heard you were targeted by some people in Sunagakure and almost didn't make it back?"

Seeing Chiba's surprise, Sakumo smiled and said, "No need to be surprised. I have been to the Sunagakure battlefield many times, so I have some information channels there."

“You’re right, Sakumo-senpai. There really is someone pulling strings behind the scenes this time,” Chiba said in a low voice.

"This is exactly what I wanted to tell you, Chiba. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. I hope you can keep your sharp edge hidden for now, and not end up like me... Sigh!"

With that, Sakumo sighed heavily, then took out a pendant from his pocket and handed it to Chiba.

"Senior Sakumo, what is this...?" Chiba took the pendant and asked with some confusion.

"This is a token of my Hatake clan."

Sakumo said in a calm tone, "If something happens to me someday, I hope you can take care of Kakashi out of consideration for our past relationship."

Chiba gripped the pendant tightly, her heart skipping a beat: "Sakumo-senpai, what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Sakumo shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late. The Ninja Academy's assessment should be over by now. Let's go back."

……

Back home, Chiba felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Without saying a word, he sat down cross-legged and began the "Living Puppet Blood Refinement".

Despite the intense pain, Chiba's expression softened considerably, because the pain told him that his strength was constantly improving.

"Phew, still not strong enough..."

After a while, Chiba exhaled a breath of stale air and ended his cultivation.

Just then, the door to the Chiba family's house was suddenly pushed open, and Nawaki put away his key and walked in with Tsunade.

"You brat, you've been back for so many days and you haven't even come to let me know you're safe. I have to come to you myself?!"

As soon as Tsunade entered the room, she stormed up to Chiba, grabbed his collar, and yelled.

"Sis, you're not allowed to..."

"Um?!"

Nawaki tried to stop Tsunade's violent behavior, but Tsunade just glared at him, and he immediately wilted.

"I was wrong, Tsunade-sama."

Chiba hugged Tsunade and buried his head in her broad chest. He felt his anxious mood instantly calm down.

"Chiba... he actually hugged me?!"

Tsunade's pretty face flushed red, and her body went limp. She no longer cared about scolding Chiba and subconsciously raised her arms to hug him.

"Hey, have you two finished hugging? You're acting like a young couple who haven't seen each other in ages."

After a while, Rope Tree, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain.

"what!"

The two then realized what had happened and quickly let go of each other.

"I was wondering what was poking me just now, Chiba. Why do you stuff a bottle in your clothes all the time?"

Tsunade's cheeks were burning. In an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere, she tried to change the subject, but this only made Chiba even more embarrassed.

"This is a special cultivation method. Um, Lady Tsunade, please wait a moment, I'll go get it!"

Chiba fled back to her room and slammed the door shut.

"Chiba, Chiba, you deserve to die!"

Chiba splashed cold water on her face and whispered to herself in the mirror.

"Lady Tsunade has been so good to you, how could you have feelings for her... She's always treated you like a younger brother!"

Soon, Chiba regained her composure and walked out of the house.

"Lady Tsunade, Nawaki, please stay for dinner tonight. I just bought a lot of groceries today."

……

In the evening, Chiba prepared a meal, and the three of them ate and chatted.

"Chiba, did you know that I went on an A-rank mission with my older sister a while ago? Now I'm a special Jonin!"

While eating, Nawaki boasted, "Once you get to the Anbu, you'd better stick close to this special Jonin, okay? Maybe I'll be your new squad leader."

"Uh, didn't the Third Hokage mention anything to you about our specific appointments?"

Chiba's expression was somewhat strange: "I will lead the newly established Anbu Special Operations Team. You and Kosuke-senpai are both my team members. Also, I have been promoted to Jonin."

"what?!"

Rope Tree slammed the rice in his hand onto the table and said angrily, "You only went on a simple diplomatic mission, how could you have been promoted so quickly? There's something fishy going on, there must be something fishy going on!"

"A simple diplomatic mission?"

Chiba snorted coldly and said, "I was caught up in the internal strife in Sunagakure instigated by Shimura Danzo. Not only did I survive the battle between the Kazekage and other powerful figures, but I also persuaded Sunagakure to continue its alliance with Konoha. You call that easy?"

"Sorry to bother you, but you're still the best..."

After listening, Rope Tree silently shoveled the rice off the table back into his bowl.

"Chiba, you'd better watch out."

At this moment, Tsunade spoke up: "Shimura Danzo is a vindictive person. You ruined his plans, and after this incident, he will likely target you."

"Also, I received intelligence that your bounty on the black market has now increased to thirty million taels," Tsunade said with a serious expression.
