Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

The body in his hands gradually grew cold, and Obito slowly put it down, as if the empty body in his hands was not his close friend whom he had long admired and who had constantly encouraged and supported him.

"No, this is not Lin, this is not Kakashi. Kakashi is a genius, a genius who can keep his promises and protect his friends."

"The one who exists here is not Lin. She should live happily and joyfully. Tell me how to cut off the chain of hatred!"

The cold eyes made Bai Zetsu feel cold all over. This ominous chakra was very similar to that of Madara when he was young. Before Bai Zetsu could speak, strands of black substance attached to him.

"That brat, Uchiha Kagetsu touched the mountain cemetery. Obito, I am the incarnation of Uchiha Madara's will. The way to cut off the chain of hatred, let's talk while walking to Base No. 2."

The flames of war burned, the air was filled with smoke, and under the bright red moon, Obito, who had fallen from one extreme to another, followed Black Zetsu and stepped into the darkness.

The figure was illusory and hazy, as if it had never existed. The kaleidoscope in his eyes slowly rotated, reflecting the red moon.

After an unknown amount of time, Kakashi woke up from his coma, and the strange pattern in his right eye turned into three magatama again.

"Lin? Why? Lin!"

After a while, Hinata Yun who went to ask for help rushed back. The wounded Bai Yun was carried on the back of the medical ninja in the morning. He looked at this scene in silence.

"Sorry, we're late."

"No, it was Lin's will. She was willing to sacrifice herself to protect the village and us. I don't blame you or anyone else. It's my responsibility. Everything is my responsibility..."

"This is not your fault. There will be sacrifices on the battlefield, Kakashi."

The gentle tone implied a heaviness. Kakashi looked back and saw that Namikaze Minato had a sad but determined expression.

"Sorry, I'm late."

..........................

In Konoha Village, inside the Book of Vermillion Moon, in the azure heart lake, a gentle breeze brushed past the sleeping girl. Hua Yue lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"A prosthetic body that adapts to the body. I never thought that this technology would be useful. A technology that will not end life as long as the soul does not perish. This is another kind of immortality."

"First, start by collecting physical information and cultivating it. Only your own body information can be more compatible with your soul. And Black Zetsu's body, I always feel that he has been very busy recently."

The next moment, Huayue turned her head and looked at Uchiha Madara's body, smiling without saying a word.

The body of a ninja is a huge treasure trove. The ninjutsu used, the ratio of banned drugs, the types of secret techniques and daily habits, etc. are all most directly reflected on the corpse.

If a research-oriented ninja like Orochimaru knew about the harvest from the mountain cemetery, he would surely be ecstatic.

However, Huayue will not hand over this huge treasure house to just anyone.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of the year. The Third Ninja World War, which saw several major battles and the deaths of many ninjas, has finally entered a period of relaxation.

At the border of the Fire Nation, in the Grass Nation camp, looking around, the wailing and screams of the wounded can be heard everywhere.

"I didn't expect that even you would step into the battlefield and actually get a little injured. The intensity of the war on the Iwagakure side shouldn't be that high."

"Haha, since you've been caught, you'll inevitably receive orders from Sarutobi-sensei. It's just a small matter of watching out for reinforcements. I'm surprised you came here in person."

Orochimaru chuckled twice and his eyes fell on the silver-haired boy who was healing his wounds.

"You are not a ninja, but you have such excellent medical ninjutsu. You have a good teacher and excellent talents. Do you want to become a ninja?"

The boy shook his head slowly, his smile gentle and happy.

"No, I just want to make some money for the orphanage and do something for the director. I have received so many favors, but I can only do some insignificant things."

"Kindness has no size, right, Ah Qi?"

His tone was full of complaints. Aqi, who was also a member of the orphanage, nodded repeatedly, as if he had met his natural enemy, and was obviously very afraid of the man in front of him.

"Yes... yes! Brother Kazuki is right, what do you think? Kabuto."

He quickly hinted with his eyes that the guy in front of him was not like the easy-to-talk-to elders in the orphanage, and if he made him unhappy, he would probably suffer.

"You don't want to be a ninja? What a shame. It's a waste of your talent. Konoha will hold a memorial service in a few days. There's no point in commemorating the dead."

"It seems that the Third Hokage is going to resign due to the huge losses in this war. This means that now is a critical period. Is it really okay to continue to be so leisurely?"

"If you don't compete, the position of the Fourth Hokage will fall to someone else."

Behind her, the python was crawling quietly around her. Under the horrified gazes of Dou and Aqi, Huayue's mouth twitched and she spoke softly.

"Stop it. We're not off the battlefield yet. Your actions and aura are obvious, Anko."

"What? That's so boring. I thought you came to the battlefield just to see the teacher and me. Ha!"

Red Bean jumped out from the darkness, full of energy, without any tension of going into the battlefield. Orochimaru laughed softly, turned around and left, glancing at Kabuto before leaving without saying a word.

"You troublesome fellow, it seems that you have been targeted by a snake, and it's a rather troublesome snake, Kabuto."

The eyes beneath the fox mask held an inexplicable meaning that made Dou's heart tremble. He bowed slightly and then turned and left.

As her sight turned, a familiar figure appeared in her eyes. Huayue slowly stood up and spoke softly.

"See you in the village. I'll be leaving first."

"Hey! Wait, you finally got to see me and you're just being so perfunctory? Asshole!"

The figure disappeared and appeared at the edge corner of the camp. Huayue spoke in a soft tone with a subtle expression.

"It's been a long time since we last met. How are things going at the orphanage? The medical team leader and Gen, who gave up hiding their identities and focused on that, really let go of a lot of burdens."

"Yeah, simplicity is best. After leaving the ninja life, I really relaxed a lot."

Looking back and gazing at the face hidden by the mask, Nono smiled, and the gentle smile that had never faded with time was reflected in his eyes.

"Be careful, Danzo is not someone you can get rid of easily. You are too kind. In the world of ninja, kindness means weakness. Be careful."

The gentle embrace, the scent of herbs and the reassuring gentle temperament, the passage of time has not made all of this disappear.

"Thank you, thank you for your concern. Funding is no longer a problem, and you have been able to complete your medical ninjutsu. You are really excellent."

A white jade-like palm quietly climbed up Nono's shoulder, and the combination of symbols and words slowly penetrated the clothes and disappeared into them.
