Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Uchiha Jun was the first to wave goodbye: "My wife is waiting for me at home, I'm leaving now."

"I'll cook for myself tomorrow, remember to bring my sister along."

Hagoromo Kei gave Uchiha Jun a few instructions, and then spoke to Sasuke as well.

"Sasuke, come tomorrow too. I'll introduce you to my youngest sister. If you prefer someone a bit older, but not too much older, I have two other sisters who would be suitable. If you prefer someone much older and more mature, I have another sister who would also be a good fit. Good luck finding the right one. Our family is very open-minded; we don't need any dowry or anything like that."

As long as all his younger sisters can find suitable partners, Hagoromo Kei said everything is negotiable.

Sasuke didn't have time to refuse.

Yu Yiqing turned and left so quickly that he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Sasuke could only swallow his refusal and pondered:

"Does this count as going on a blind date?"

His parents and relatives had passed away long ago, and he was not familiar with many etiquette and social customs.

'With my mom around, if I really go on a blind date tomorrow, she'll definitely give me a lot of advice, making me feel less lost.'

This moment.

Sasuke seems to miss his mother.

But soon, as a group of hopping children ran past him, he quickly raised his head, closed his eyes, and swiftly suppressed the thoughts that had been stirring within him.

After a few breaths, Sasuke, who had regained his usual calm demeanor, watched the children playing and pursed his lips before walking outside.

In the past, at this time of year, with nothing to do and being alone at home, he would spend his time at the training ground.

But now, for some reason, he feels like wandering around.

"Below is the Land of Waves."

Sasuke thought of the mission to the Land of Waves, of Zabuza and Haku, and of himself and Naruto.

Then go check it out.

Sasuke arrived at the edge of the village.

While villages located high in the sky have many advantages, one drawback is that they are not convenient to travel to and from the ground.

In the past, during the era of the Sky Ninja Village, people had to wear flying ninja tools to land on the ground.

However, with the great treasure of the ninja world, Yu Yi Gengetsu, they quickly created a barrier powered by wind-style chakra, resembling an elevator.

Sasuke arrived at the place that Yu Yi Xuan Yue had named the aerial elevator. After the guard gave him some instructions, he stepped into the empty space at the center of the formation.

In an instant, Sasuke slid straight down rapidly.

He opened his Sharingan and could see that although there seemed to be nothing around him, there was actually a layer of strong wind enveloping the center of the void, preventing passersby from being blown away.

The earth was getting closer and closer.

A gust of upward wind lifted Sasuke up, mitigating the impact.

Soon, Sasuke landed steadily on his feet.

Looking around, this is a hidden stronghold set up by the village of Suzaku. Due to its remote location, apart from the Suzaku ninja guarding this place, almost no one comes here.

Sasuke found the direction of Naruto Bridge and started walking towards it.

Midway through his journey, he happened to pass by Zabuza and Haku's graves and paused for a moment.

Through Zabuza and Haku, I learned what the bond between ninjas truly meant.

Although the bonds of the past have faded, new bonds have been formed, and there are quite a few of them.

After bidding farewell to the two graves, Sasuke arrived at Naruto Bridge not far away.

Even though the tax officials ahead are no longer there, and many places are covered with black cloth, it still cannot stop the bustling and lively scene of the bridge.

Sasuke watched for a long time.

He turned around when he heard footsteps behind him, his eyes flickered slightly, and he disappeared instantly.

"Huh? That person just now... did he look familiar? Am I seeing things?"

Tazuna, whose mood was much better than a few days ago, came to Naruto Bridge every day without fail. Just as he was about to continue looking at his "child", he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar profile.

But soon, the latter disappeared without a trace.

Dazner rubbed his eyes, pretending he was seeing things.

As people get older, they have to give in.

Just like his name, he insisted on drinking.

As it turned out, he just died.

Dazner was 100% convinced of this method of death.

As for that unknown ninja who asked him about his name back then...

coincide!

Everything is a coincidence!

Chapter 164 Can't Learn

"The Daimyo of the Land of Waves is dead?"

In Konoha, in the Hokage's office, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, had just received news of the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Waves. She said in surprise, but didn't seem to care much.

Daimyo and ninja are more like people from two different worlds.

Even if they were to mourn, that would be the Land of Fire's business, not their ninja village's.

"He died from excessive drinking. What a useless person."

Having grown up surrounded by sake since childhood, Tsunade held the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Waves in utter contempt.

Don't force yourself to eat too much.

After making her comments, Tsunade was about to let the matter drop.

The assistant, Shizune, reminded her, "Lady Tsunade, it's not over yet. The Land of Fire wants Konoha to send a team of ninjas to protect the delegation that is about to travel to the Land of Waves to pay their respects. The reward for this mission has already been given to the village."

"That's it."

Since it was a serious matter, Tsunade took out a thick roster of ninjas, preparing to select a suitable ninja from among them who were available.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she paused, her hand still, and said:

"Speaking of which, didn't Kakashi's team go to the Land of Waves more than two years ago? They made quite a name for themselves there. I've heard about that Naruto Bridge so many times."

"So, should we send Kakashi's team to the Land of Waves again?" Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune immediately understood her plan.

Shizune thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Ever since Kakashi's team returned from Sekimae Village, Naruto has been training hard with the help of Yamato Jonin, and so has Sakura, your disciple, Lady Tsunade. It's probably not good to disturb them at this time."

"Asceticism?"

Tsunade recalled the bitterness, resentment, and even determination on Naruto and Sakura's faces when they returned from the village of Kakuzen a while ago.

And the person who caused all of this, Uchiha Sasuke.

"He looks just like Orochimaru back then."

Both are exceptionally talented and both pursue power.

In the end, they all chose to betray their villages, and behind each of them, there were always idiots chasing after them, hoping to bring them home.

That idiot back then was Jiraiya.

Now, it's Naruto and Sakura.

Tsunade's feelings for Orochimaru were complex back then, unlike Naruto and Sakura's unwavering commitment, but she could still understand their thoughts.

“In that case, let Asuma’s team go,” Tsunade said, changing her mind.

Asuma, a former member of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, who had dealt with many officials of the Land of Fire, is a suitable candidate.

Jingyin immediately went to inform them.

However, before that, Tsunade asked one more question:

"How is Kakashi doing?"

Kakashi did not lead the team to Kasamae Village because he had received another important mission: to find the missing Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu.

Some time ago, Konoha and Sunagakure held another joint Chunin Exam, following their previous Chunin Exams.

Not only did genin from various ninja villages participate, but Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from Takigakure, also joined in.

However, after the Chunin Exams, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, and the two Jonin from Takigakure who accompanied her did not return to the village; the three of them completely disappeared.

When Takigakure realized something was wrong, they immediately sent people to search for the village, while also requesting help from Konoha and Sunagakure.

The matter of a Jinchūriki is of great importance.

Konoha did not refuse, and therefore Kakashi replaced Kurenai, who was on maternity leave, and led Team 8, which was skilled in tracking, to investigate the matter of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

If you count the days, half a month has already passed.

Jingyin was about to shake her head, indicating that she hadn't received the message yet.

Just then, a ninja from the intelligence squad arrived quickly and handed over Kakashi's latest mission report.

"The last known location of Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, has been located. There are numerous signs of battle on the ground. After assessment, it is determined that the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's side has been defeated."

Tsunade opened the scroll, glanced at it quickly, and her brows furrowed immediately.

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was actually defeated?

There's one last thing.

"According to the investigation, a person in a black uniform with red clouds was spotted near the location where the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, disappeared."

Black background with red clouds

"Dawn?"

Tsunade's brows were furrowed tightly.
