A month later, news from the front lines shook Konoha, no, one could even say it shook the entire Ninja World-
The Senju Clan's forces heading to the front lines had fallen into an enemy trap, suffering heavy casualties.
And Senju Nawaki, the eldest grandson of Senju Hashirama and also Tsunade's younger brother-
Had mistakenly triggered an explosive tag trap.
His body was blown to pieces, not a single part left intact!
Today was the day Nawaki was laid to rest.
His name would also be engraved on the Memorial Stone.
And Jin turned on the chat group's live stream function, to give these idle dead ghosts in the afterlife something to watch.
"Nawaki-san was my senior, may I come to pay respect for him?"
Jin, standing before the public cemetery, asked.
Tsunade, dressed in black, her eyes red-rimmed and tear stains still visible on her cheeks, was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
After a few seconds, she silently moved aside and said in a barely audible voice, "Thank you."
Just as Jin was paying respect for Nawaki,
The chat group's notification sound rang out:
[Ding! Group member, Uchiha Izuna's commission: Stand By and Do Nothing, is complete.]
[Group reward: Mangekyo Sharingan (Izuna Uchiha's Version) has been issued to group member, Jin.]
Inside the group, the atmosphere was uncharacteristically silent.
Although Izuna was happy to see Tobirama's furious and humiliated state-
He didn't choose to kick him while he was down this time.
[Ace: What a pity, this child was still so young...]
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: What are the leaders doing? How could they send such a young child to the battlefield!?]
[Hashirama: Nawaki... it's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa didn't protect you well enough.]
[Tobirama: Brother, don't cry. It's not your fault.]
[Izuna: That's right, it's clearly Senju Tobirama's fault. If he hadn't been so stingy, how could your grandson have died, Senju Hashirama?]
[Tobirama: You shut the hell up! Uchiha Izuna! Weren't you the one fanning the flames earlier!?]
This pair of adversaries started arguing again in the group.
Tobirama secretly pondered whether he could commission Jin to avenge Nawaki.
'But if I wanted to order this kid around, I would have to offer a reward.'
'However, ordinary rewards probably wouldn't satisfy this kid's appetite anymore...'
'Would I have to offer the Flying Thunder God Technique?'
Tobirama in the afterlife frowned deeply.
'If I gave the Flying Thunder God to this kid, then combined with the Mangekyo Sharingan he now possessed…'
'What if he decided to rebel in the future?'
'Would those kids like Hiruzen, Danzo, and the others be able to stop him?'
Just as Tobirama was wrestling with this dilemma-
After finishing paying the respect, Jin walked over to Tsunade's side.
He patted her shoulder with his small hand.
"Tsunade-nee, please accept my condolences. Nawaki-san... in the next world, he definitely wouldn't want you to be so sad."
Tsunade didn't answer, just stared blankly at the photo of Nawaki's smiling face on the tombstone.
She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Jin didn't say more, taking out a tissue to help Tsunade wipe her tears.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the chat group became a bit strange.
[Edward Newgate: Gurarara~ This is the first time I've seen this kid be so gentle.]
[Ichimaru Gin: Indeed, he never used to meddle in others' business before.]
[Dio Brando: This Dio-sama has a guess. Do you think this kid might be interested in this woman...?]
[Ace: Huh? No way? There's over a ten-year age difference, right?]
[Dio: Muda muda! What's ten years? I've slept with women a hundred years younger than me!]
[Tobirama: SHUT UP!!!]
Tobirama's face turned dark with rage.
He wished he could resurrect on the spot and strangle that little bastard Jin.
'Hitting on my grandniece right in front of me, huh?'
'You, an Uchiha bastard, aren't worthy!'
Hashirama, on the other hand, didn't voice an opinion, but stroked his chin thoughtfully.
He suddenly thought that if Tsunade and Jin could become a couple, it might actually be pretty good.
The two of them represented the future of the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan respectively.
If they became a pair-
Everyone could live in harmony in the future, working together for Konoha's development.
Wouldn't that be great?
"Th... thank you..."
At this moment, Tsunade also realized she had lost her composure.
She quickly stood up, turned her face away, and used the handkerchief Jin had given her to wipe the tear stains from her face.
"Tsunade-nee, who killed Nawaki-san?"
Jin asked.
"Hanzo of the Salamander! It was his explosive tag trap!"
Mentioning this, Tsunade gritted her teeth so hard it seemed they might shatter.
Hanzo of the Salamander could be said to be the strongest Kage-level expert in the Ninja World, most skilled in using explosive tags.
After saying this, Tsunade prepared to turn and leave.
She didn't have time to weep for her brother now.
She was going to the battlefield to kill that old bastard Hanzo and avenge Nawaki!
Just then, Jin suddenly spoke:
"Tsunade-nee, take me with you. Just you, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru alone won't be enough to kill Hanzo."
