The Self-Destructive Shadow Clone

After returning to Konoha, the sight that unfolded before Chihori left her utterly dumbfounded.

The bustling, prosperous streets, the dense crowds, and the various novel, distinctive buildings all filled her with shock and amazement.

Sitting in the carriage, Chihori stared wide-eyed through the window, looking around at everything with longing.
