"Within the borders of the Land of Fire.
In an expansive and lush forest,
Symbolizing warmth, the village of Konohagakure is situated in the center of the forest.
At this moment, inside the Hokage's building.
In a large conference hall, a group of people anxiously awaits.
Among them are several elders members of Konoha, all sitting there with serious and composed expressions, awaiting the news from the battlefield.
"Swoosh!"
A shadow appears.
Kneeling respectfully, the figure immediately presents a sealed letter, detailing the battlefield situation in the Land of Rain from a day ago.
Hiruzen steps forward to receive it,
"Sandaime-sama, take a look. Sosuke's performance is truly remarkable."
Hearing her words, Sandaime's expression remains unchanged as he solemnly takes the letter, carefully scanning its contents.
After comprehending the information, his shoulders relax slightly, and he looks at the people present, speaking in a deep voice.
"According to the intelligence, under Sosuke's command, Konoha broke six Suna strongholds within a day."
Pausing for a moment, he contemplates.
"Adding yesterday's achievements, Konoha has now eliminated ten strongholds within the borders of the Land of Rain."
Hearing Sandaime's words firsthand, the Konoha elders members who have been eagerly awaiting this news reveal expressions of pleasant surprise.
"Ten strongholds!? Going by our previous estimates, this might be all the strongholds Suna had infiltrated with Rain ninjas!"
One Konoha elder member seems to suddenly realize something and exclaims in shock.
Hearing his words, others also catch on, looking astonishedly at Sandaime.
In their minds, there is a sense of awe for the child who practically grew up in their ears.
Is this the terror of 'Child of Konoha' Sosuke?!
Sandaime, hearing their words, allows a faint smile to appear on his slightly weathered face. He speaks in a low voice.
"Yes, judging from the current situation, Sosuke has almost completely cleared Suna's influence within the Land of Rain in just a few days."
He pauses, lowering his head to look at the intelligence report, speaking in a slow and measured tone.
"That kid is truly outstanding... truly worthy of being called 'Child of Konoha'"
Hearing Sandaime's words, everyone present, including his close aides Koharu and Homura, as well as the other Konoha elders members, are momentarily stunned.
A moment of silence fills the conference hall!
Hiruzen pays no attention to their reactions, merely lowering his head to quietly study the intelligence report. His voice, slow and calm, seems to reminisce about something, as if recalling memories.
Konoha has such a splendid younger generation... Teacher, can you see it... the outstanding generation of Konoha...
Leaves fluttering in the wind... where there is a blazing fire, the light will illuminate the village...
And leaves will sprout again...
Teacher... this village has more and more people carrying it on their shoulders...
Inside the conference hall.
While Hiruzen reflects with a world-weary gaze, the group of Konoha elders members below is still deeply immersed in his previous words, unable to extricate themselves.
S... Sandaime personally acknowledges 'Child of Konoha' Does this mean...
Some are already feeling a stirring in their hearts, with thoughts beginning to form.
...
And at this moment, within the borders of the Land of Rain.
Inside a hidden Leaf Village base where ninja come and go.
In the central tent, a massive map is spread out, hanging high like a giant ripple in the tent. Sosuke, with a calm expression, is looking at the map, making various marks on it. Around him, a group of ninja is diligently recording in notebooks, their expressions serious.
"Here is the territory of the Wind Country. Do not consider it in the same way as the situations within the borders of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. In this nation covered by sand and wind, we need to prepare sufficient water sources. Also, our front line shouldn't be stretched too long. Otherwise, venturing deep into the Sand Ninja's terrain will undoubtedly put us at a significant disadvantage."
Sosuke, standing calmly, explains to the group of ninja.
A charming figure walks in, not disturbing Sosuke, but just standing with crossed hands, gazing at him with a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes.
"Captain Sosuke, according to your previous analysis, Konoha has already almost wiped out all the Sand Ninja's strongholds. With this, they have weakened a significant portion of Suna's fighting strength. Why worry so much and hesitate to advance at this moment?"
At this point, a somewhat youthful-looking ninja, scratching his chin, ponders for a moment and then speaks.
Hearing his words, Sosuke glances at him, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He looks at Shinya, slightly surprised, and a bit awkward.
"Shinya Nara, right? The question you raised is very valuable."
Hearing Sosuke calling out his name, the somewhat youthful Shinya is slightly surprised, feeling a bit unsure.
Seeing this, Sosuke smiles at him, speaking softly.
"No need to be nervous. Before answering your question, I want to ask you one."
Hearing Sosuke's words, Shinya is slightly stunned, then politely says, "Please go ahead."
Sosuke looks at him and says in a low voice, "Konoha has already formed an alliance with the Village Hidden in the Rain. If we defeat the Sand Ninja Village, won't Konoha's influence become even stronger?"
Hearing Sosuke's words, Shinya thinks for a moment and nods gently.
Certainly, it will. Judging from the current situation between Konoha and the Sand Ninja, there is no doubt that Konoha will win... Wait a minute! Suddenly, as if realizing something, Shinya lifts his head, speaking solemnly.
"I understand... You mean... Iwa Ninja Village!"
Hearing his words, Sosuke reveals an appreciative smile. The other ninja present also suddenly realize, nodding in understanding.
Yes, at this moment, if Konoha rashly attacks the Sand Ninja Village, Iwa Ninja may come in between, creating consequences that are difficult to imagine!
It's not impossible that all the current achievements will be overturned!
Thinking about this, everyone's gaze towards Sosuke is once again filled with deep admiration!
And Shinya is looking at Sosuke with boundless admiration, treating him like a military god.
"Let's end today's tactical discussion here. In the next strategic offensive against the Sand Ninja, I will explain while organizing practical operations. Learn more from Shinya, and thoughtful contemplation is the best way to truly understand this process."
Sosuke claps his hands, looking at everyone with a gentle smile, softly saying.
Hearing his words, although everyone is a bit reluctant, they all stand up, respectfully bowing and leaving.
At this moment, Tsunade walks in, her beautiful eyes unabashedly looking at Sosuke, teasingly saying, "Sosuke, you look quite handsome as a teacher."
Hearing her words, Sosuke can't help but smile slightly, reaching out to pat her head gently, saying softly, "Isn't it all because you assigned me this task? Why not let Shino do it? He is no less skilled in analyzing warfare than me."
Being patted by Sosuke, Tsunade instinctively rubs her head and pouts.
"This guy, don't hit me. This kind of thing... I finally managed to get approval from the sensei..."
"Who do you think can take on the role of a teacher in the Leaf Tactical Class... Shino is a member of the Uchiha clan..."
Slightly helpless with Sosuke's actions, Tsunade mumbles.
"Alright, alright, you've worked hard."
Hearing his words, Tsunade smiles faintly, showing a happy expression.
Although the layer of window paper between her and Sosuke hasn't been pierced, the days they spend together now bring her a joy she has never experienced before...
How long will this happiness last?... No one knows...
