Uchiha Chi looked closely and was surprised to see that the newcomer was none other than Shirakumo Hayama, the loyal subordinate who had closely followed him during the Third Great Ninja War!
Shirakumo Hayama's face was deeply fatigued, and his body was covered in wounds, clearly bearing the marks of a brutal battle. Before Uchiha Chi could ask anything, Shirakumo Hayama dropped to his knees before him with a thud, lowering his head as he spoke: "Lord Hokage, this subordinate has sinned! I have truly failed your trust and expectations. To let the Mist Ninja exploit this opening and cause such severe damage is a dereliction of my duty. Please punish me!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Chi hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to steady Shirakumo Hayama's swaying frame. When he took in the haggard face, smeared with blood and dust, and the shocking wounds covering his body, an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.
