Shocked by the Youngster's Marvelous Deeds, Returning to the Village for New Cultivation

"Haotian, Guy, and Uchiha Mei," Zhiwei said, enunciating each word with pride.

Hearing the three names, Tsunade vaguely recalled that this child had performed ordinarily in practical combat classes at the Ninja Academy. How had he suddenly become so powerful?

"Three new generation ninjas, killing two Special Jonin..." Tsunade murmured, filled with doubt.

Wasn't the growth speed of this generation of new ninjas a bit too fast?

"That kid, Haotian, his Kekkei Genkai is to create poison, right?" Tsunade suddenly asked, recalling some intelligence about Haotian.

Zhiwei nodded, his tone calm. "Yes, Lady Tsunade." "What an incredible ability, to be able to wield poison to such an extent," Tsunade exclaimed. Then, as if thinking of something, her expression changed slightly. "Orochimaru, that guy, is very interested in such special abilities..."

Zhiwei fell silent upon hearing this. He understood Tsunade's meaning.

Ever since Orochimaru's defection, he had been eyeing Konohagakure covetously. If he learned that Haotian possessed such a special ability, he would likely stop at nothing to seize it.

Tsunade's gaze deepened. She walked to the window, gazing at the distant scenery, and said in a low voice, "Zhiwei, do not announce this matter publicly for now. I will find a way to block the news." Zhiwei nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. Once Haotian's abilities were exposed, it would bring countless troubles.

"Also, regarding the intelligence on Haotian..." Tsunade paused, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes. "Try to erase it. Zetsu must not let Orochimaru know of his existence!"

Tsunade acted decisively, immediately summoning the Anbu and issuing orders to block the news.

She deeply understood the importance of information warfare. Even if she couldn't completely conceal the achievements of the three, she had to minimize the spread of information to buy Konohagakure more time.

The Anbu members received their orders and moved swiftly.

Meanwhile, Zhiwei, leading Haotian, Guy, and Meihui, quietly departed the Western Front camp.

They didn't make a grand display or boast about their achievements, but simply embarked on the road back to Konohagakure.

Along the way, Konohagakure ninjas cast curious glances at them but didn't recognize these three young faces.

After all, during wartime, personnel movements were frequent, and no one would pay much attention to a few unfamiliar genin.

However, the peaceful journey didn't last long.

Halfway, the Giant Parasite Bug on Guy's back suddenly became restless, emitting low growls.

Its massive body trembled violently, as if sensing some threat.

Guy struggled to control the Giant Parasite Bug, but it became increasingly difficult to manage.

"What's wrong?" Zhiwei sensed the abnormality and immediately became alert.

Guy's expression also turned grim. "I don't know either. It seems to have sensed something..."

The Giant Parasite Bug's growls grew louder, startling the surrounding birds.

It thrashed continuously, trying to break free from Guy's control.

Guy gritted his teeth, his hands gripping the reins of the Giant Parasite Bug tightly. Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Hold on, Guy!" Meihui encouraged him from the side.

Haotian also felt the Giant Parasite Bug's unease. He looked up into the distance, a sense of inexplicable anxiety rising in his heart.

In the distant woods, something seemed to be watching them...

"Quiet!" Zhiwei ordered in a low voice, simultaneously forming hand seals. A surge of chakra flowed towards the Giant Parasite Bug.

The Giant Parasite Bug's body trembled slightly, its agitated emotions calming down a bit, but it still twisted its body restlessly.

Zhiwei's brow furrowed. He thought to himself, "It seems we've run into trouble..."

"Teacher, I feel..." Haotian was about to speak when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the distant woods.

"What is it, Haotian?" Zhiwei followed Haotian's gaze. In the depths of the woods, a blurry figure flashed past...

The Giant Parasite Bug's restlessness didn't last long.

Zhiwei, with his extensive experience, quickly determined that it was the scent of some wild animal that had disturbed it.

He quickly formed hand seals and released a strong chakra fluctuation, dispersing the surrounding wild animals.

The Giant Parasite Bug's emotions gradually stabilized, and it lay quietly on the ground, emitting low breaths.

After confirming there was no danger, the four continued their journey, finally arriving at the gates of Konohagakure at dusk.

"Halt! Who goes there?" Two guards in Konohagakure ninja uniforms blocked their path.

"We are a ninja squad returning from the Western Front battlefield. This is our mission proof." Zhiwei stepped forward and handed over a scroll.

The guards carefully examined the scroll and, after confirming it was in order, bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your hard work. Welcome back!"

The four successfully entered Konohagakure.

Houses lined both sides of the streets, and pedestrians bustled about, creating a scene of prosperity.

Compared to the war-torn Western Front battlefield, this place was like paradise.

"We're finally back..." Haotian took a deep breath, feeling the peace and tranquility of Konohagakure, his heart filled with emotion.
