Konoha, Ninja Academy, Central Auditorium.
Taiichi stood on the high platform at the front of the hall. Behind him were two blackboards that had been temporarily brought in, covered with densely written notes on the most basic medical knowledge.
Down below, thirty-two students sat in neat rows. This group already represented one-fifth of the entire fifth and sixth grade student body.
Originally, Taiichi had only planned to recruit sixth-year graduating students. However, the current situation made that impossible. During the war, the Academy had sent a large number of students to the front lines early after accelerated graduation.
Fortunately, Konoha had maintained the upper hand on the battlefield, which prevented the village from desperately throwing every last student into combat out of manpower shortages.
Even so, when Taiichi saw how few students remained in the graduating class, he had no choice but to expand recruitment to include fifth-years as well.
There was no entrance exam. The class was opened as an interest group—anyone who wanted to learn could attend.
When the Academy students heard that one of the Three Sannin, Tsunade herself, would be teaching, their enthusiasm was overwhelming.
On the first day, students from all fifth and sixth grade classes showed up, along with some from other grades who had snuck in. The massive auditorium was half-filled with eager listeners.
Neither Tsunade nor Taiichi tried to stop them. Unlike other fields, medical-nin required vast amounts of knowledge that had to be memorized. Without sufficient willpower and talent, it was impossible to continue.
This was especially true for the younger students who barely had any chakra to begin with.
As expected, on the second day the number of attendees dropped by half.
By the third day, only around fifty students remained.
These three days had already filtered out most of the unsuitable people. The ones left were those who, despite having the necessary talent and perseverance, simply wanted to learn more.
Over the following days, even among those fifty, some continued to drop out. In the end, only the thirty-two students now sitting properly in front of Taiichi remained.
Looking at the thirty-two students below, Taiichi felt genuinely pleased.
If even half of them chose to pursue the path of medical-nin after graduation, then this class would not have been held in vain.
Moreover, with new students entering every year, this was the proper way to cultivate medical-nin for the future.
However, the moment he thought of a certain someone who was once again skipping class, Taiichi felt a wave of speechlessness.
When your teacher—especially a female teacher—completely abandoned her dignity as an instructor and started acting shamelessly in front of you, there was truly nothing you could do about it.
It was true what they said: once a person lost all shame, they became invincible.
Tsunade had behaved herself for the first five days. On the sixth day she began bargaining with Taiichi, and by the seventh day she was outright acting like a rogue, pulling out every trick in the book.
Headaches, stomachaches—she came up with a new excuse every day. As the legendary medical-nin, she even used her chakra to create minor ailments just so Taiichi would have to cover for her.
In the end, she even played her trump card, claiming that her period had started. Taiichi could only admit defeat.
That was why he was standing here teaching in the first place. In his ongoing battle of wits with Tsunade, he had temporarily fallen into a disadvantage and could only take on the responsibility of temporary instructor.
"—Therefore, precise chakra control is the foundation of all medical ninjutsu. Whether it's the C-rank Healing Technique or the A-rank Healing Regeneration, it all comes down to this.
If you want to achieve anything in medical ninjutsu, you cannot afford even the slightest slack when it comes to training your chakra control."
Taiichi looked at the students listening attentively below and prepared to give a practical demonstration.
However, before he could begin, the heavy doors of the auditorium were suddenly thrown open with a loud bang, shattering the quiet atmosphere of the classroom.
A figure rushed inside without any hesitation and used Body Flicker to shoot straight toward the podium.
The newcomer wore an animal mask and was dressed in the standard black ANBU uniform with a gray flak jacket. He completely ignored the stunned gazes of the entire hall and came directly to the front of the stage. He performed a concise ninja salute toward Taiichi, his voice coming through the mask with a hint of urgency.
"Special Jonin Matsushita Taiichi! The Hokage has issued an urgent summons with a specified mission! Please proceed to the Hokage's office immediately!"
"ANBU!"
"Wow, it's really ANBU!"
"So cool! So mysterious!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the auditorium erupted into low exclamations and excited whispers.
These Academy students rarely had the chance to see ANBU operatives, who carried out the most secret and dangerous missions.
To them, ANBU represented power and mystery. They were the Hokage's blade—wherever they went, nothing could stand in their way.
Countless burning gazes focused on the ANBU operative, filled with curiosity and longing.
Taiichi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. For the Third Hokage to send an ANBU operative to interrupt class directly and specifically emphasize a "specified mission," something serious must have happened.
He gave a light cough, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire auditorium. All the whispering stopped immediately. The children sat up straight and fell silent.
"Understood."
Taiichi's voice was calm and emotionless. He put down the chalk and quickly formed hand seals.
Poof!
With a soft sound and a puff of white smoke, an identical copy of Taiichi appeared on the stage.
The shadow clone naturally took the chalk from the original's hand, glanced at the content on the blackboard, and said to the students below,
"Alright, we were just talking about the importance of chakra control. Now everyone, watch my example—"
The original Taiichi didn't say anything else. He simply gave the ANBU a slight nod.
"Lead the way."
His figure flickered, and he disappeared along with the ANBU operative, leaving only the shadow clone to continue the lesson.
Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat with his pipe in his mouth, smoke curling around him, yet his expression remained as steady as ever. When Taiichi appeared via Body Flicker, he got straight to the point.
"Taiichi, the situation is urgent, so I'll keep it short."
The Third Hokage pointed at a scroll and a map spread out on his desk.
"Roran. A small nation located deep within the territory of the Wind Country. Its queen, Seramu, has sent a request for aid to Konoha through secret channels."
"Request for aid?"
Taiichi's gaze swept over the marked location of Roran on the map. His heart stirred as a familiar plot point surfaced in his mind.
This was the Roran mission that Namikaze Minato had carried out in the original timeline. But the timing was clearly off, and—
"Yes. According to the letter, young adult men have been mysteriously disappearing in Roran recently. The queen suspects that a powerful force is operating behind the scenes and may even be threatening her safety.
More importantly—"
Hiruzen tapped his pipe heavily on the location marked as Roran.
"Beneath Roran lies the legendary Dragon Veins."
"Dragon Veins?"
Taiichi appropriately displayed a look of "surprise."
"An ancient and massive aggregation of earth vein energy containing an unimaginable amount of chakra," the Third said with deep wariness. "In her letter, the queen hinted that she fears someone is trying to lay their hands on the power of the Dragon Veins."
"Given Roran's special geographical location and the danger posed by the Dragon Veins, this mission is of high rank and must be carried out in complete secrecy.
After careful consideration, you are the most suitable person for this task. You possess the Flying Thunder God Technique, giving you the highest mobility. Your sensory and medical abilities are also top-tier. In the current Konoha, you are the best choice."
Taiichi's heartbeat quickened slightly. The corner of his mouth curved upward with clear interest.
In the original timeline, the Dragon Veins had the power to send people into the past. Although the timeline had shifted slightly due to his own presence (the queen was still alive, and events had been brought forward), the fundamental nature of the Dragon Veins' power should remain unchanged.
This kind of space-time related power held irresistible research value for him.
"I understand, Lord Hokage. I accept this mission."
Taiichi showed no hesitation. His tone was firm.
"Very good."
A trace of approval flashed in Hiruzen's eyes.
"The mission objectives are: First, protect Queen Seramu of Roran. Second, investigate the truth behind the disappearances and the anomalies within the country. Third, assess the state of the Dragon Veins and ensure they cannot be exploited by hostile forces.
Remember, this mission takes you deep into the heart of the Wind Country. You must act with extreme caution and try to avoid conflict with Sunagakure. Although we are currently in a ceasefire, friction is still possible."
"Yes!" Taiichi replied, then changed the subject. "Lord Hokage, I accept the mission, but I will need two teammates to assist me."
"Oh? Who do you want to bring?"
"Hatake Kakashi and Nohara Rin."
Hiruzen fell silent for a moment.
"Kakashi is fine. His strength is sufficient. But Rin… isn't she—"
Taiichi understood what the Hokage meant. Rin was an important bargaining chip to restrain Obito. Although they still didn't know Obito's exact situation, Konoha had to make preparations.
Every pair of Mangekyō Sharingan was not to be underestimated.
"I will continue monitoring Obito's situation," Taiichi said seriously. "But Kakashi and Rin cannot stop training and gaining experience just because of this.
Rin's body has fully recovered, yet she's only been allowed to help at the hospital or carry out simple missions. This is detrimental to her growth.
This mission is the perfect opportunity for them to train alongside me. With me there, there's no need to worry about anything happening to them."
Taiichi spoke with complete confidence—and he truly had the strength to back it up.
The Third Hokage looked into Taiichi's earnest eyes and finally nodded.
"Very well. Approved. They should both be in the village right now. You can gather them yourself. The mission begins immediately. Take the intelligence scroll with you."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"
Taiichi accepted the scroll and quickly left the Hokage's office.
Konoha, Training Ground behind the mountain.
Kakashi was currently guiding Rin through an intense taijutsu sparring session.
The sound of heavy impacts rang out, each strike landing with full force. Clearly, Rin was giving it everything she had, and Kakashi was not holding back either.
Sunlight filtered through the trees. Sweat beaded on Rin's forehead as she maintained a focused expression.
At the edge of the training ground, Taiichi's figure suddenly appeared.
"Taiichi!" Rin stopped and called out in surprise.
Kakashi also lowered his offensive stance and turned to look at Taiichi, his eyes questioning.
"Urgent mission."
Taiichi got straight to the point and quickly explained the Hokage's orders and the details of the Roran mission.
"That's the situation. Kakashi, Rin—this is a rare opportunity. During this mission, the two of you will be the main actors. I'll only be assisting you."
Kakashi and Rin exchanged glances. They naturally understood Taiichi's intention. After the Obito incident, Rin's movements had been somewhat restricted, which was very detrimental to a ninja's growth.
Now that Taiichi had vouched for them, this was a chance for real training.
Kakashi's gaze instantly sharpened.
Roran? A secret mission deep in the heart of the Wind Country? This was undoubtedly both a huge challenge and a great opportunity.
Obito—if he became stronger, would he be able to find him faster?
A powerful desire to grow stronger, mixed with a sense of responsibility, surged in his chest.
"Understood, Captain!" Kakashi's voice carried a hint of excitement that he couldn't quite hide.
Rin's eyes were filled with determination.
"Yes, Taiichi. I'll give it everything I have."
Watching the two of them quickly shift into mission mode—especially the fire now burning in Kakashi's eyes—Taiichi nodded to himself.
"Good. We'll handle supplies on the way. Now—move out!"
Three figures shot forward like arrows leaving a bow, instantly crossing the training ground and charging out of Konoha's gates, racing toward the northwest.
Wind and Sand Road.
The three of them traveled day and night, pushing their stamina and chakra usage to the limit. In just three days, they had entered the vast desert region of the Wind Country.
Heat waves distorted their vision. Endless sand dunes stretched out like frozen golden waves.
Kakashi looked out over the land that had once been a brutal battlefield and spoke with a complicated tone.
"I never thought there would come a day when we could cross the Wind Country so freely. War and peace really are different."
In peacetime, infiltrating this deeply into enemy territory would have required them to exhaust themselves just avoiding Sunagakure patrol teams.
Rin wiped the sweat from her brow as she gazed at the endless yellow sand.
"Yeah. Even though the environment is harsh, at least we don't have to worry about running into enemies at any moment. I hope this peace lasts for a long time."
After a brief silence, Kakashi, who was still running, looked somewhat distant. He spoke in a low voice, almost drowned out by the wind and sand.
"Taiichi… you still haven't heard anything about Obito?"
This question had been weighing on him for a long time, but he had never found the right moment to ask.
Taiichi shook his head, his steps never slowing.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi. I've used every intelligence network I have access to, including some underground channels. But Obito has vanished without a trace. There are no concrete leads.
However, no news isn't necessarily the worst news."
He glanced at Kakashi's tightly clenched fists.
"Keep your faith, Kakashi. Get stronger, and then bring him back yourself. That's what you need to focus on."
Kakashi took a deep breath of the scorching air. His eyes regained their determination.
"I understand. I will find him!"
This resolve had become one of the constant sources of motivation during their grueling journey.
On the evening of the sixth day, as the last rays of the setting sun dyed the horizon blood-red, a sight completely different from the surrounding desolate desert appeared at the edge of their vision.
It was a strange city.
Countless tall, pointed towers rose from the ground like stone pillars, casting long shadows under the setting sun.
The towers were covered with metal pipes and panels of unknown material, reflecting a cold light.
Although the city wasn't large, it gave off an air of "prosperity" that didn't match its remote location.
"So that's… Roran?" Rin looked at the strangely styled buildings with some surprise.
"Yeah. It matches the intelligence description. Be careful—from this point on, we've entered the mission area."
Taiichi spoke in a low voice. The three of them quickly hid behind a weathered rock formation, carefully suppressing their presence as they silently approached the edge of the city like ghosts blending into the desert.
As they drew closer, a strange sensation began to rise within Taiichi's body. The energy in the air had become unusually active.
"Can you feel it?" Taiichi asked Kakashi and Rin beside him in a quiet voice.
