Young Obito, hands on his hips, surveyed the wrecked altar around him and launched into a merciless taunt:

"Why do you look so disheveled?"

Kakashi, who was following behind, had his dead fish eyes drooping. As he drew his lightning sword, he sighed and said, "Obito, don't say anything. Look at how much blood he's vomited. The water in his brain has probably finally been blown out."

Rin Nohara stood behind the two, looking at Obito with a complicated expression, her voice soft:

"Obito... if you're injured, I can heal you, but please, please don't do things that hurt yourself anymore, okay?"

Looking at the persistent "Dawn Trio" in front of him.

Masked Obito felt a surge of blood rushing straight to the top of his head!

For the past few months, no matter how well he hid the base, no matter how many layers of barriers he set up around it.

These scoundrels always seem to find their way to you, as if they can smell you!

You can't kill him by hitting him, and you can't win an argument with him!

Every time he made even a little progress on his plan, these guys would jump out and give him a good beating!

"You damned bastards—!!!"

Chapter 228 Three Years Passed Quietly

The Land of Wind, Sunagakure Village, the Kazekage's Residence.

The morning sunlight streamed into the spacious courtyard.

Four-year-old Gaara, with his red hair and signature dark circles under his eyes, stood blankly in the middle of the yard, clutching a plush toy.

Around him...

"Wow--!!"

"Eeya! Cluck cluck cluck!"

"Bang! Crack!"

There were seven or eight babies crawling all over the place, making the whole yard a complete mess!

Gaara's eyes were filled with deep confusion.

"Young Master I love you, move aside! The little brothers and sisters are going to use your sand as a litter box!" The maid, carrying a basin of baby bottles, hurriedly weaved through the group of children.

Gaara mechanically moved two steps to the side.

Shukaku inside him was also huddled in the sealed space, covering its ears and trembling.

For the Tailed Beasts, the sound of a group of babies crying is truly terrifying!

On the second-floor balcony, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, sported dark circles under his eyes even larger than Gaara's, holding a cup of goji berry tea, looking both tired and content.

These are the future of the Land of Wind.

Not just the Land of Wind.

A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, was currently stamping numerous "Applications for Maternal and Child Care Subsidies" and "Newborn Chakra Potential Test Reports" with a dark expression on his face. Mabui, standing beside him, pushed up his glasses and reported expressionlessly on the backlog of tasks in the village caused by "maternity leave".

In Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, rubbed his aching back as he watched the kids running around in the village, grinning from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, Mei Terumi of Kirigakure sat at the Mizukage's desk, sighing in front of the mirror that she had aged three years, yet she was still being pressured to get married by the elders every day; those men really didn't meet her standards.

Under the dual bombardment of "subsidies" and "technology," the ninja world has burst forth with a vibrant and prosperous scene.

Of course, it's not just policies; the application of technology has also spread to every corner of the city, as a certain lecherous immortal has personally experienced.

The Land of Fire, a scenic hot spring town.

"Hehehe... Top-notch! Truly top-notch!"

Jiraiya was perched on the high wall outside the women's bathhouse, notebook in hand, gathering information.

However, he had only poked his head halfway out.

"Beep—! Warning! Warning! High-risk individual's chakra fluctuations detected! Thermal imaging locked on!"

On the wall, a metal probe suddenly flashed a blinding red light, sounding an alarm!

"Holy crap?! Again? Why are they everywhere?" Jiraiya was shocked and scrambled down the wall.

Several members of Konoha's new-style security force, wearing [energy storage arm guards], descended from the sky and quickly pinned Jiraiya to the ground.

"Injustice! I am a hero of Konoha! A renowned writer! I protest!!!"

Jiraiya was dragged away by the police with tears in his eyes. This was the seventh time this year that he had failed to gather material and had been arrested.

Unlike Jiraiya's tragic state, the underground city of Loulan, deep in the desert, presented a warm and peaceful scene.

The upscale residential area on the top floor of the tower.

"Hey! Little girl! That bottle of wine is mine! Don't you dare steal a drop!"

The "old Tsunade" from the main timeline, dressed in a loose yukata, slapped away the outstretched hand without any politeness.

The young Tsunade rubbed the back of her hand and glared back defiantly: "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'! Aren't I just you? Besides, you've already drunk three bottles. If you keep drinking, Dan will scold you again tomorrow!"

In the spacious and bright living room, the two Tsunades, one big and one small, still bickered and teased each other every day, but the atmosphere had long since lost its initial tension.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing." Duan smiled gently and placed the dishes on the table.

"Brother Duan is right! Sister, you should drink less!"

Senju Nawaki, dressed in a smart ninja outfit, walked in from outside, carrying fresh fruit he had just bought from the shopping street.

Watching Dan and Nawaki busy themselves in the living room, Tsunade paused slightly, her hand holding the wine glass.

very nice.

Once she has enough contribution points for medical services, she will apply for a fourth-level celestial body to guide the souls severed in the Pure Land. At that time, this family will lack nothing.

Meanwhile, at another exclusive training ground in Konoha Village.

Matt Kay was upside down, with a small gravity regulator weighing several tons, made in Loulan, on his back. Each push-up with one hand caused the ground around him to tremble under the strain.

"Kai, isn't your warm-up a bit too much?"

Under the shade of a nearby tree, Kakashi Hatake closed the copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" that he had read several times, his dead fish eyes filled with helplessness.

The production of new books can no longer keep up with his reading pace.

"What are you doing here?" Kai's signature smile vanished.

"Yes, Senior Yue asked me to follow the Akatsuki organization. After all, they are our Obito, so I may have to leave for a while."

In the heart of Konoha Village, in a cozy mansion.

"Naruto! Don't run around in the hallway! Be careful not to fall!"

Wearing an apron, Kushina Uzumaki waved a spatula and poked her head out of the kitchen, shouting loudly at the little blonde ball of fur running wildly in the yard.

"Hahaha! You can't catch me! Mommy can't catch me!"

Nearly four-year-old Naruto, holding a small metal airplane in his hand, ran around on the lawn giggling.

"Whoosh!"

A golden flash appeared in front of Naruto, and Minato Namikaze scooped the little guy into his arms and spun him around in mid-air.

"Wow! Dad is amazing!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs.

"Alright, Naruto, it's time to wash your hands and eat." Minato gently pinched his son's nose, his eyes full of fatherly love.

He turned his head and looked at his wife coming out of the kitchen, a feeling of indescribable satisfaction welling up inside him.

This is the "Will of Fire" that he truly wants to protect.

"How about we give Naruto a younger brother or sister?"

"Hate!"

The focus shifts to the edge of Konoha, to the new territory of the Uchiha clan.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The three shuriken hit the bullseye in the distance with pinpoint accuracy.

"Brother! Look! I made it!"

Uchiha Sasuke, with his short legs, ran up to Uchiha Itachi, eagerly seeking praise.

Itachi smiled slightly, squatted down, and gently poked Sasuke's fair forehead with two fingers.

"Well done, Sasuke. But next time, you need to be a little more steady with your wrist."

"Ugh..." Sasuke covered his forehead, feeling a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his fighting spirit and ran to pick up the shuriken.

In the corridor, Fugaku Uchiha was sitting upright beside the coffee table.

Listening to his two sons interacting in the yard and seeing his wife Meiqin smiling beside him, a smile appeared on his usually serious face. But when Meiqin turned her gaze away, he immediately hid the smile again.

As for Konoha's other powerful clan, the Hyuga clan?

With the separation between the main family and the branch families eliminated, the area was a peaceful place.

In a spacious Japanese garden.

"Hinata, when you strike, you need to stabilize your stance a bit more. The chakra should converge in your palm, not your fingertips. Feel the flow of energy."

"Okay, Neji-nii-san."

In the corridor not far away, the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, sat side by side, quietly watching this scene.

"Neji's talent is indeed dazzling." Hiashi held his teacup, his eyes full of satisfaction, then his gaze fell on his daughter. "However, Hinata's growth is also surprising. Lord Natsuki was right, her potential... may really be unfathomable."

“Yes, brother.” Hizashi smiled slightly, looking at Neji’s unrestrained back, “Without the shadow of the caged bird, the children can freely pursue their own limits... This may be the true future of the Hyuga clan.”

And so, three years passed quietly.

Chapter 229 The Will of the New Fire

Three years, for an old era, may just be the blink of an eye;

But for a ninja world that already possesses industrial production lines and has been forcibly placed on the path of "peaceful development," these three years are enough to bring about earth-shattering changes.
