The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 221 Kakashi's Failure

Kakashi and his group moved very quickly, and after stopping in town to resupply once, they never went into town again.

The reason for not staying for more than a few days is that these remote and impoverished areas lack good medical facilities and personnel.

Unless it's a hospital in a major ninja village, Tenzo's condition is still very dangerous.

However, after they entered the city, they abandoned the stretcher and replaced it with a chair.

After all, a stretcher requires two people to carry it, while a chair only needs one person to carry it.

Ashiho is finally free to focus on taking care of Shion.

It took them three days to leave the land of demons.

Upon entering the Land of Stone, as the name suggests, this country is filled with stones.

Although it's not completely barren, the environment is still harsh.

The Land of Stone is adjacent to the vast desert of the Land of Wind.

They need to cross the Land of Stone and then the border of the Land of Rain to reach the Land of Fire.

They suffered quite a bit when they passed through the Land of Stone.

Ashiho had never run for so long before, and the journey to the Land of Stone was difficult, so her feet were covered in blisters.

But he was very determined and never complained about hardship or fatigue.

He never left Ziyuan's side, always putting Ziyuan's safety first.

Qianyao's clone saw this and was somewhat impressed.

Such mental fortitude would certainly be formidable for a ninja.

When they had spent two days crossing the Land of Stone and the Land of Rain, Qianyao spoke up.

"Go to the land of rivers, there will be someone to meet us there."

Kakashi listened obediently and immediately followed Chiyo's instructions, heading into the Land of Rivers.

Guided by Chiyo, they walked for another half a day and finally found the Uchiha clan members stationed there.

Qianyao had already revealed himself at this moment.

"Chieftain!"

"Chieftain!"

"Lord Qianyao!"

Those who remained here were Uchiha Norihiko and others, as well as Yakushi Kabuto, whom Chiyo had transferred from the clan a couple of days ago.

"Du, let's check on this Tianzang first."

Qianyao greeted everyone and immediately gave instructions.

Kakashi was overjoyed to see that even the medical ninjas of Chiyo had been prepared.

They quickly carried Tianzang into the tent next to them.

Dou stepped forward and examined Tianzang thoroughly: "His body can no longer withstand long-distance travel."

"Although he's been kept alive, he'll die if this continues."

Chiyo said meaningfully, "It's alright. Compared to his life, he shouldn't be in a hurry, right, Kakashi?"

Kakashi responded, "Lord Senyou, please don't tease me."

"Kabuto, you should treat Tenzo first."

Under Qianyao's instructions, Dou got busy.

When he was called in to provide support, everything was prepared.

Medicines, equipment, and so on are all readily available.

Kakashi felt a sense of relief, but he was also more exhausted than ever before.

However, he cannot sleep yet.

He still had something to ask Qianyao.

At this moment, Qianyao was instructing Zuhui: "These are all my people, it's very safe."

"You all need to rest too. Go wash up and get some sleep first. We'll talk about the rest when you wake up."

At this moment, Ziyuan came over, took Qianyao's hand, and placed it on her head, something she did every day.

"Mother……"

"It's alright, child, I'm here. You go and rest first."

"Well, I see."

Feeling reassured by her mother's presence, Shion went downstairs with Ashiho.

Miroku could sense that Shion's dependence on her was many times stronger than before.

She was extremely grateful to Qianyao; if it weren't for Qianyao's abilities, Ziyuan would be an orphan now.

Although Qianyao didn't know what Miroku was thinking, he could still see the growth of bonds on the Bond Star.

Every time Shion comes to talk to Miroku, the bond between Miroku and Shion increases.

Besides Miroku, Kakashi's bond is also on it, and because Chiyo helped save Tenzo, it has now exceeded two stars.

"Lord Senyou." Kakashi seemed to have made up his mind before walking towards Senyou.

Qianyao raised his eyelids slightly: "What? You want to know about Obito?"

Kakashi had to keep everything bottled up inside because Tenzo was in critical condition.

Now that Tenzo has been healed, Kakashi naturally wants to know the details:

"Was what Lord Qianyao said true?"

Chiyo grinned, seemingly pleased to see Kakashi in such pain.

Do you really want to know?

Kakashi nodded and replied, "Yes."

Qian Yao rolled her eyes: "I'm not telling you."

Kakashi was momentarily speechless: "Lord Senyou, what do you need to tell me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Qianyao looked at Kakashi and didn't know whether to pity his misfortune or be angry at his lack of ambition.

"So, only Obito's matter is the most important, right?"

Kakashi sensed that Chiyo was implying something.

"Why does Lord Qianyao say that?"

Qian Yao sneered:

"You didn't investigate when White Fang died, you stood by and watched Naruto being humiliated, and you turned a blind eye when your teammates' lives were hanging by a thread."

“When it comes to a heartless Obito, you’re practically kneeling down before me.”

"No matter how good your relationship was, that was in the past. Times have changed, and so many things have changed."

"But you can only ever see the good old days."

"Kakashi, you're a complete failure as a person."

"People like you should die forever in your mourning for the past, clinging to the ashes of the past."

"There are many things in this world that are more precious than they were in the past."

"It's a pity you can't get over it; you're always just drifting along."

"You have no idea that your dejected state is not only unfair to Rin, but also to White Fang, and even to your teachers, the Minato couple."

Kakashi looked pale, his face turning ashen from the barrage of questions from Chiyo.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Even Kakashi couldn't find words to defend himself.

Bai Yun's earlier words had made him realize that his father's death was actually a conspiracy.

But in reality, he was only focused on getting over his grief, living in the shadows and becoming a walking corpse.

With great difficulty, he overcame his inner demons under the guidance of the Minato couple.

However, he repeated the same mistake because of Obito's death, until he killed Rin and his heart completely collapsed.

He lived like a ghost, ignoring even the teacher's children.

After a long while, Kakashi said in a bleak tone, "Lord Chiyo is right, I really am a failure."

Qianyao glanced at Kakashi: "Come ask me again when you can accept all of this."

Kakashi straightened up and bowed deeply to Chiyo.

"Thank you, Lord Qianyao. I'll go and rest now."

Chiyo waved his hand, and Kakashi disappeared into the tent.

Qianyao's view on geniuses is that only those who can be used by him are true geniuses.
