The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, causing Aoki to let out a small, nervous laugh. However, Aoki quickly regained his composure, and with great respect, he bid farewell to Nansa.
Unbeknownst to Aoki, there was a little girl standing not far from the grave. She had short black hair, and a single tear rolled down her cheek. The girl seemed to be trying to hold back her sobs, watching Aoki speak confidently in front of his aunt's grave.

After leaving the grave, Aoki decided to take a walk around the village of Konoha. He walked slowly, allowing every corner of the bustling village to be etched in his memory. The laughter of children, the hustle and bustle of adults passing by, and the warmth radiating from every corner of the village reminded Aoki of how much Konoha meant to him.
"I will miss this place," Aoki murmured softly, letting himself sink into nostalgia.
However, Aoki's daydream was abruptly interrupted when someone suddenly greeted him. "Aoki, enjoying the morning air around the village?" The voice was familiar, and when Aoki turned, he saw a blond man with gentle blue eyes.
“Oh, Minato-sensei! I’m trying to remember everything about Konoha before I leave the village and start my journey to become the strongest swordsman,” Aoki said with a bright smile, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm that he couldn't hide.
Since Minato began teaching Aoki Fuinjutsu, their relationship had evolved from mere teacher and student to more like two friends sharing a common goal. Although Aoki still called Minato "Sensei," their bond was much deeper than that. Together, they often spent hours discussing complex theories and helping each other refine their techniques. Now, their meetings felt more relaxed, filled with jokes and camaraderie.
"Remembering everything about Konoha?" Minato asked with a small smile, though there was a hint of surprise in his voice. "Are you leaving the village? When did that happen? It feels like there are still many Fuinjutsu seals I haven't had the chance to teach you." Minato's face tensed slightly, his expression becoming more serious.
Aoki let out a small laugh, his voice light like a gentle breeze under the sunlight. "Hemm... could you, Sensei, provide all the information you haven't had the chance to teach through a scroll? I can study it myself later. Besides, after three years of learning Fuinjutsu, I have a pretty good understanding of how it works."
Minato paused for a moment, contemplating Aoki's words. Three years was indeed a long time, but Fuinjutsu was not something to be taken lightly. With just one wrong seal, the consequences could be dire. "Of course, but when are you leaving?" Minato asked again, his tone increasingly worried.
Aoki, still wearing a wide smile, confidently replied, “Tomorrow!”
Minato was taken aback, his expression changing instantly. The face of Minato, which had been full of confidence, now turned slightly pale, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead. “Tomorrow? Why so soon? Can’t you wait three or four more days? You know very well that writing Fuinjutsu material is not easy and takes a long time.”
However, Aoki, with an unyielding smile, looked at Minato with a more mischievous gaze. "Sensei, isn’t there an amazing jutsu called Bunshin no Jutsu, or more precisely, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? That jutsu can create shadow clones that not only can deceive enemies but also share memories and information, unlike regular clones." Aoki grinned even wider. “Why not use that jutsu to help you copy all the material?”
