Chiba Tetsuya built a ramen business while training and secretly intervening in the First Shinobi World War. After Tobirama’s death, Tetsuya considered using the system to resurrect the dead, then prepared to leave Konoha on an escort mission, only to find Sakuya had taken it.

• Chiba Tetsuya opened Chiba Ramen Shop, earned money for system draws, and signed the Yellow Weasel Clan Summoning Contract before Huang Bai began teaching him Senjutsu.

As the conflict spread through the Land of Rain, Konoha, and Sunagakure, he watched the major forces collide and Sakumo launched a solo attack in the Land of Wind.
