It was no small matter for the Hokage and his wife to leave the village together.

It took Minato Namikaze a lot of effort to arrange Konoha's affairs properly, and he also had to calm Naruto's emotions.

This was probably the first time that Naruto had been separated from his parents for such a long time since he was a child. Kushina sent him to the home of the Third Hokage and asked the Third Hokage to take care of him.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!" Naruto grabbed Kushina's sleeve and refused to let go: "Why can't I go with you?"

Kushina coaxed him, "Wait until Naruto is older, then you can go when you are older."

Naruto frowned stubbornly, "At what age is considered grown up?"

Namikaze Minato squatted in front of him and ruffled his hair: "When... Naruto is twelve years old and graduates from the Ninja School... Mom and I will accompany you to see the moon, okay?"

Naruto said unhappily: "But! That's still a long, long time!"

But Minato Namikaze and Kushina just looked at him helplessly, but could not be convinced.

Seeing this, Naruto hummed and lowered his head. Kushina kissed his cheek and said, "We will bring you a gift, Naruto. Mom and Dad will be back soon."

Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui served as guards, accompanying Namikaze Minato and Kushina - and also brought Orochimaru with them.

Due to the absence of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan's residence was not relocated to the periphery when the village was rebuilt.

The Uchiha clan who still lived in the core area of ​​the village had not been physically isolated, and their ties with the village were more extensive and closer.

Uchiha Shisui is very trusted by the Hokage.

In order to eliminate the gap, Minato Namikaze has been working hard.

In recent years, ninjas who are not from the Uchiha clan have begun to join the Konoha police force, and ninjas from the Uchiha clan also hold various positions in the village.

Currently the most famous ophthalmologist in Konoha Village is from the Uchiha clan.

Perhaps it was because there were so many difficult and complicated eye diseases in the clan and the rich case records provided her with an excellent environment where she could learn from the illnesses and become a good doctor.

With Kushina's consent, Orochimaru stripped the Nine-Tails from her body - leaving only one tail.

Uchiha Obito could have done this, but he was a little shy about taking the Nine-Tails out of Kushina's body. Kakashi couldn't do it either, so after much thought, Orochimaru was the most suitable person.

"Hmph... Am I your black glove? Specializing in doing things you don't want to do?"

Although Orochimaru complained like this, it was hard to tell whether his tone was genuine or not, and he didn't seem to be unhappy at all.

Namikaze Minato stayed by Kushina's side and took good care of her, while Orochimaru stood in front of the sacred tree, looking at the morning dew.

"You have taken a path that Shikamaru and I have never thought of..."

Orochimaru said, "I really want to know how Shikamaru would react if he knew the decision you made. You have become someone who can surprise him, Asaka."

"It's not like I did this to surprise Shikamaru."

Orochimaru was stunned by the unexpected response.

The girl who was leaning against the tree trunk with her eyes closed as if she was in a deep sleep slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on the man.

She sighed: "The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was you again."

"I'm so sorry, it seems that you are very disappointed." Orochimaru said with a wry smile: "But Kushina just took the initiative to transfer the power of the Nine-Tails to you. It is reasonable that your companions should go and care about her. Only I stay here."

"Ah, I just think it's not auspicious to open my eyes and see you..." Chaolu raised her hand towards him with some disappointment. Orochimaru: "What's wrong?"

Then she saw that she was at a distance, and she grasped the air, and a ball of foam floated towards her from Orochimaru's body.

——That was his memory.

"The ability of the Otsutsuki... is really a good research direction." Orochimaru stared at her and saw her close her eyes and let the foam gently stick to her forehead: "However, my memory is not comprehensive. Uchiha Obito should be the person who has done the most over the years."

Chaolu didn't answer.

In Orochimaru's memory, she could not see where Uchiha Obito appeared, how he rescued Nohara Rin and stopped the war.

But she could see that "the five great Daimyo were kidnapped by a man who called himself Uchiha Madara, and that the five Kage were required to go to Amegakure to convene a Five Kage Conference, sign a truce, and exchange the five Daimyo";

She could see that "Orochimaru, as the Third Hokage's bodyguard, met Uchiha Madara, also known as Uchiha Obito, at the Five Kage Summit";

She could see the war stop, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina get married and have children, the Fourth Hokage take over, Konoha become stable and peaceful, Uzumaki Naruto grows up as the young master of the Hokage family and is loved, and the Uchiha clan is slowly reintegrating into the village, no longer living in isolation;

She could also see Toneri from the Moon heading to Earth, visiting Konoha, and taking Neji away...

Chaolu slowly smiled: "I did it? Right? I succeeded!"

She opened her eyes, her face full of surprise and her eyes sparkling.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Yes, you succeeded."

But the next moment, the smile on Chaolu's face faded, and she said seriously: "But I haven't completely succeeded yet."

Orochimaru knew what she was talking about: "...Yeah."

——The world where she was born may still be waiting for her.

The huge trees began to change. The trunks that had been towering into the clouds and seemed to be about to pierce the sky slowly shortened. When the morning dew completely "fell" from the trunks, the original sacred trees became about a thousand-year-old trees - still taller than ordinary trees, but no longer like a tall tower.

The changes in the trees were so obvious that Obito and the others soon rushed back.

"Morning dew!"

Chaolu looked back and saw the familiar faces of her companions—Obito, Kakashi, Deidara, Neji…

And there was actually a person named Sheren who could not be considered as her companion before.

Their faces showed excitement, disbelief, and some unexpected panic.

At that moment, Chaolu felt as if there were thousands of butterflies in her heart, trying to struggle out of her flesh and blood and fly towards the people she cared deeply about.

She smiled brightly and ran towards Neji, hugging him.

However, their current appearances did not match. The sixteen-year-old girl bent down and hugged the seven or eight-year-old tightly. Chaolu said with great joy: "I am much older than Neji now! Neji should call me sister!"

Neji: “…No way.”

He finished speaking in a muffled voice, but when he actually felt that Chaolu's body was no longer as stiff and cold as a wooden sculpture, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

Then Chaolu hugged Sheren again: "Thank you."

Toneri's eyes were not created for him by her when she was awake. Perhaps it was just that when she first appeared, the chakra around her overflowed and inadvertently supplemented his eyes.

However, without Toneri's help, Neji probably wouldn't be able to escape from the cage of the bird in the cage. Although Chaolu can help him get rid of it after waking up, but...

Chaolu let go of Toneri. He was now about the same age as Neji and was just a child in front of her.

She stroked his hair gently and praised him in the tone of an older sister: "Sheren is a good child. You will become a great adult in the future."

Sheren blushed.

His skin is naturally fairer than most people's, so the redness is even more obvious.

Deidara had already opened his arms, as if he couldn't wait, and hugged her tightly as soon as she approached.

His voice came muffled from Chaolu's neck: "It's really not easy to wake you up! Hmm!"

Although his tone sounded like a complaint, it seemed more like he was aggrieved that she had abandoned him for so long.

"Hehe!" Chaolu also hugged him tightly: "Thank you, Deidara!"

"I did great! Right? Huh?"

"Yes! You did a great job! Deidara is the best!"

She said with a smile and met Kakashi's gaze.
