<><><><><><>

45 years after the founding of Konoha, Asahi had spent nearly four years in this world.

After bidding farewell to his three disciples, he had traveled extensively.

Having witnessed the customs and cultures of various places, today he arrived at the most familiar yet unfamiliar place in this world.

The towering gates, reaching several meters high, made Asahi involuntarily glance at them.

Back when he watched the anime, he thought Konoha's gates were impressive enough. However, standing in front of them himself, he truly understood the meaning of grandeur.

As the village of the top shinobi village in the ninja world, Konoha's gates naturally couldn't be surpassed by any other organization.

The thick wooden doors subtly showcased Konoha's strength.

Standing before the gates, a sense of ancient and profound weightiness enveloped him.

Of course, the feeling of antiquity was unique to Asahi; to the people of the ninja world, Konoha's gates still exuded a sense of prosperity.

After silently marveling at Konoha's gates, Asahi prepared to enter the village.

Coincidentally, he hadn't seen the Sannin for several years, so it was a good opportunity to pay them a visit.

"Halt! Who are you? If you want to enter the village, come over and register to confirm your identity!"

As he approached the gates, two ninja wearing Konoha's shinobi uniforms immediately shouted at Asahi.

Their handsome faces, proud expressions, and the Uchiha clan emblem added to their attire all indicated their Uchiha clan affiliation.

Asahi was surprised; he didn't expect to encounter Uchiha clan members doing gate duty.

In the original anime background, the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, so Asahi hadn't paid much attention to this clan. .

Now, the Uchiha clan was still living well in Konoha. Moreover, Uchiha members were mostly formidable ninja, serving as the main members of Konoha's security force, so it made sense for them to be on duty at the gates.

He shook his head helplessly. "I'm just here to visit Konoha."

Upon hearing this, the two Uchiha members frowned.

The ninja world wasn't very peaceful now. Suddenly, a person claiming to be a traveler appeared; it was indeed strange!

"Are you a ninja?" one of them asked Asahi.

"Yeah, I am."

"village?"

"No village, a wandering ninja."

The two men frowned, "You..."

"Enough, Jiraiya is in the village; he knows me."

Asahi didn't want to waste time on this meaningless conversation and straightforwardly addressed the two.

The two members of the Uchiha clan, upon hearing Jiraiya's name, instantly showed a respectful expression.

While the Uchiha clan was proud, they also recognized the strength of true powerhouses.

Who was Jiraiya? A disciple of the Third Hokage, known as one of the three legendary ninjas, a genuine top-level force in the village.

Jiraiya deserved their respectful treatment. A friend of Jiraiya couldn't be an ordinary person.

"It turns out you're a friend of Lord Jiraiya. May I know your name so that we can report it?"

Both Uchiha clan members bowed to Asahi.

Indeed, it was much simpler this way. If he cooperated honestly with them, who knows how long it would take.

Satisfied with the situation, Asahi continued, "Tell Lord Jiraiya or Tsunade from the Hokage office. They will be aware."

Alright, it's not just Jiraiya. The other two Sannin are also known. They are undoubtedly not simple characters.

"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment; I will inform the three Sannin right away."

"Sure, go ahead."

Honestly, although Asahi was waiting at the village gate, he wasn't bored at all.

As the top village in the ninja world, Konoha was still bustling inside.

Even near the village gate, there were plenty of shops, and numerous pedestrians were coming and going.

With Asahi's strength, he could easily hear their discussions.

It's not that Asahi had a voyeuristic hobby, but he wanted to get some information about Konoha.

"Hey, have you heard? Many big names are among the students graduating from the ninja school recently!" Renji bragged to his companion.

"Huh? Really? I don't have any ninja adults at home, so I'm not very clear! Hurry, tell me, who are they?" Hairi was very curious, eager to know.

Ninjas were extraordinary people, and their status and position were not something ordinary civilians could compare to.

Although the subjects of their discussion were still students from the ninja school, they were still ninjas.

Moreover, these were students from ninja families. Could they be compared to ordinary students?

Seeing Hairi's curious look, Renji vanity was greatly satisfied. After looking around, he mysteriously said to Hairi:

"I'll tell you secretly; don't tell anyone else. If it reaches outsiders, those geniuses might be in danger."

"Okay, okay, don't worry. I'm a person who keeps secrets the best," Hairi excitedly assured.

Renji nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. I'll tell you; I heard this from a ninja who was drunk."

"That ninja is from the Yūhi clan. He said the daughter of the Yūhi clan's leader is graduating this year."

"Do you know the Yūhi clan? Although not a major clan in the ninja world, their clan leader is a renowned genjutsu master in Konoha."

"Imagine, can her daughter be anything less in the future?"

Suddenly hit with such a juicy gossip, Hairi was extremely thrilled.

"I know the Yūhi clan; their eyes are all red, looking particularly noble. The daughter of their clan leader is graduating this year; this is significant news."

Renji looked at Hairi disdainfully, "Tch, boring. What's so special about that? Let me tell you something even more significant."

Hairi stared in disbelief, "There's even more sensational news?"

Renji smiled self-satisfactorily, "Of course, my nickname as Konoha's Informant isn't for nothing."

"Do you know how many children the Hokage has?"

"I heard the Hokage has two sons. What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Hairi scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"As long as you know. The Hokage's younger son, Sarutobi Asuma, is also graduating this year."

Renji's expression was quite pleased, as if knowing about the Hokage's family affairs was a remarkable thing.

"What! Even the younger son of the Hokage is graduating! Is there also a genius from the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan?"

Hairi's tone was shocked, with a hint of anticipation and a subtle touch of awe.

Uchiha and Hyuga! Even in the entire ninja world, these were famous prestigious families. Who wouldn't be curious about their news?

However, it seemed that Hairi was about to be disappointed. Reni scratched his head awkwardly; he really didn't know about this.

"Uh, I don't know if there are any geniuses, but I heard that there's a kid from the Uchiha clan with a long ponytail who's also graduating this year."
