Naruto-Start by eating the golden fruit

"Speaking of which, isn't that guy already a chunin? Why is he still here with us to receive the award from Big Brother?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade in a low voice.

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya. "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Hurry up, it's almost your turn!"

Jiraiya curled his lips, wondering why she was so anxious. "It will be your turn eventually."

Orochimaru interjected, "He might have obtained the qualification before, but to officially receive the title of Chunin, he still needs to be awarded a medal."

Jiraiya asked, "Huh? Is that so?"

Orochimaru nodded. "Since the first batch has special significance, only the first batch of the third generation will be awarded in person. The follow-up batches likely won't continue this way."

Jiraiya was a little surprised. "Really? Where did you hear that, Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru replied, "I deduced it myself, and it should be pretty accurate."

Tsunade listened and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. If she missed today because she was lying in bed, Yuya might not be there next time. The thought made her happy.

Soon, it was Jiraiya's turn. Yuya placed the forehead protector, symbolizing Konoha Chunin—a dark blue strap—into Jiraiya's hand, and smiled as he congratulated him:

"From today, you are Konoha's chunin. In the future, I hope you can contribute more to Konoha, become a jonin as soon as possible, and make Konoha greater, allowing your family and friends to have better lives."

Jiraiya became excited. He took the forehead protector, put it on his head immediately, and saluted Yuya: "I will definitely do it!"

Tsunade, annoyed, kicked him. "Are you done? Alright, move along!"

After kicking Jiraiya away, Tsunade approached Yuya with a slightly flushed face, fidgeting with her fingers.

Yuya smiled and placed the forehead protector on Tsunade's forehead. Being so close, Tsunade could smell Yuya's scent.

After Yuya finished, he noticed Tsunade's blushing face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, no, it's nothing..."

Yuya continued with the same encouragement he gave Jiraiya. Although it might sound cliché, he couldn't come up with a unique line for everyone. Yuya didn't have time to waste.

Tsunade, holding her head in her hands, walked away in a daze. Next was Orochimaru.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya whispered to Tsunade with a look of frustration, "Tsunade! How could you just leave like that? Today was your chance to finally meet Brother Yuya! Didn't you say you practiced what you wanted to say to him?"

Tsunade gave Jiraiya a cold stare, remaining silent.

Jiraiya's expression shifted from anger to a timid look, and he backed down. Tsunade snorted and ignored him.

However, Tsunade regretted not saying more earlier.

"It really is a pity," Orochimaru said, adding to Tsunade's regret.

Tsunade felt a pang of disappointment inside.

After Yuya encouraged each of them, he prepared to give a collective speech, urging them to work hard for Konoha.

At that moment, Uchiha Kagami appeared behind Yuya and respectfully whispered, "Third Hokage, the Konoha caravan encountered an incident at the border of Iwagakure Village."

The business-like smile vanished from Yuya's face.

Looking at the teenagers before him, Yuya took a deep breath and addressed these future stalwarts of Konoha seriously:

"Peace in Konoha Village is hard-won, and I hope you all remember this. Peace in Konoha does not mean peace in the world. Where we cannot see, people are striving and sacrificing for Konoha's peace and future. I am not here to glorify suffering, but some tasks must be done by someone.

What I hope is that each of us remembers the dedication and sacrifice of these individuals. You are Konoha's hope, the future of Konoha. In ten years, I hope you will become jonin, capable of achieving even more..."

…

After saying these words, Yuya left immediately. A special handshake session had been planned, but given the situation, it was clearly cancelled.

These words were not spoken on a whim; they were prepared earlier. However, due to the unexpected incident, they seemed like Yuya's immediate thoughts.

But this approach was more effective. Reciting such words on stage could seem perfunctory, but an unexpected interruption made Yuya's words more impactful.

Yuya was led to the Hokage's office by Uchiha Kagami. Nara Shikaya stood up eagerly, "Third Hokage..."

Yuya waved his hand, "Don't waste time. Just tell me what happened."

"Yes," Nara Shikaya nodded, handing a scroll to Yuya.

"One of our caravans disappeared on its way to Iwagakure Village. We learned about it because the Hyuga clan reported their birdcage mechanism was triggered. We contacted Iwagakure Village, but they said they didn't have the person. They agreed to help investigate, and later we found out the person was in the Country of Grass..."

Yuya glanced at the scroll, his expression turning cold. "The Country of Grass?! Are they insane?!"

There was only one reason for the Hyuga clan's birdcage to be triggered: someone had taken the Byakugan.

Nara Shikaya spoke slowly, "The leaders of the Country of Grass are eager for the Bloodline Limit. They even attacked Dust Release ninjas from Iwagakure Village before, but they were killed..."

Yuya considered the report and the situation in the Country of Grass.

In the original history, after the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, Koso and her mother went to the Country of Grass and were exploited there. The ninjas of the Country of Grass were often injured, as their leader coveted secret arts and bloodline limits.

In the original history, these issues might have been left for Orochimaru to handle, but now...

Yuya tossed the scroll onto the table and looked at Nara Shikaya, "Go and ask the Hyuga clan leader to meet me."

"Yes."

After Nara Shikaya left, Yuya softly called, "Uncle Kagami."

Uchiha Kagami emerged from the shadows.

"Please help me contact my uncle. It's a waste for the chakra cannon to only be used for practice. We need to see its results in actual combat."

Regarding chakra cannons, Yuya followed the principle of researching one generation, hiding one, implementing one, and announcing one.

There were at least three generations' differences in weapon development.

But as the saying goes, you must see a weapon to understand its true power.

Is the nuclear bomb really that formidable?

Unless you drop two more, I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

Similarly, representatives from the other four countries came to Konoha to see the chakra cannon being tested.

But how effective it will be in real combat... Who knows?

It's better to test it and see the results so that everyone understands.

Today, the master who taught me asked if I could do a side job, like taking private orders. I was surprised, wondering why my master, who earns two to three hundred thousand orders monthly, seems so busy. It turns out he's been taking private jobs... Our company's factory only makes circuit boards and doesn't handle IC component patching. Then my master asked me to take some patching orders, promising to teach me... I was tempted but didn't agree immediately. I told him I'd think about it for a few days before deciding. I'm really confused... If I agreed to take on private work, this old master promised to double my salary.

Gee, this is really...
