"What is his purpose? Why does he want to destroy the Land of Waves? Who exactly is this person?"
In Konoha, the Third Hokage looked at Kakashi, Might Guy, and Asuma, who had returned to report on their mission, and rubbed his head in exasperation. The black-armored men were the most troublesome presence for him at the moment.
Kakashi speculated, "Hokage, could it be that the people of the Land of Waves have learned a secret they shouldn't know, so the black-armored men want to destroy the Land of Waves?"
“It’s probably impossible. If only a few people knew, the black-armored man could easily silence them. If many people knew, the secret wouldn’t be a secret anymore and it couldn’t be kept hidden. He wouldn’t have allowed the survivors to live after destroying the Land of Waves. He wouldn’t have needed to take such a big step,” Nara Shikaku said, shaking his head.

On the other hand, since Wang Han was also alone, Naruto specially treated him to Ichiraku Ramen to comfort him.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen, Ichiraku Teiji looked at Wang Han and asked, "What exactly is your purpose? Why do you want to destroy the Land of Waves?"
Wang Han glanced at Naruto, who was happily eating beside him, and knew that Naruto was under Ichiraku's genjutsu. However, Wang Han still did not answer Ichiraku's question, but instead asked, "Why don't you try using genjutsu on me? You should know that genjutsu is my weakness, maybe you can get me to say something."
"Hmph!" The musician snorted, not using illusion magic as Wang Han had suggested, but instead said, "If you still want to do something like destroying the Land of Waves, I will definitely stop you. I will be watching you from now on."
"I've already given you a chance to stop me, and what happened? The Land of Waves was destroyed, and you're still selling ramen in Konoha, aren't you?" Wang Han sneered. "Forget about keeping an eye on me; you should keep an eye on the Chosen One next to you."
"You..." Upon hearing this, Yi Le stared intently at Wang Han and said in a deep voice, "How do you know about the Child of Destiny? Just how much do you know?"
"How much do I know? Guess how much I know?" Wang Han sneered. "Child of destiny, what a ridiculous term. It's nothing more than a pitiful person whose fate has already been arranged, who is powerless to control his own destiny but is unaware of it, just a pawn."
"A pitiful person?" Upon hearing this, Ichiro glanced at Naruto, who was still eating ramen at the restaurant. He shook his head and said, "He is indeed pitiful, but also very cute."
"Cute! Heh, this little blondie is adorably silly." Upon hearing this, Wang Han scoffed and said, "But I'm also curious to see how far this little blondie will go."
"It is a bit foolish, but even fools can have moments of great wisdom," Ichiro said. "You still haven't said why you want to destroy the Land of Waves?"
"Just to have some fun and see how much the chosen one can endure?" Wang Han said. "Isn't it said that the chosen one either saves the world or destroys it?"
"I will definitely stop you," Yi Le said, his eyes fixed on Wang Han. "I will be watching you from now on."
"Hahaha, the simplest way to stop me is to kill me, but can you do that? You can try, I have high hopes for you." Wang Han laughed and said, "As for keeping an eye on me, I'm afraid you won't have that much time in the future. You should keep an eye on the Chosen One."
"This time it's on me, Naruto," Wang Han said, placing the money for the ramen on the table before leaving.
After Wang Han left, Ichiraku dispelled the genjutsu on Naruto.
"Uncle Ichiraku, where's Mr. Mute?" Naruto asked curiously.
"He just left, and he already paid for the ramen," Ichiraku said with a grin.
"Oh, I see. I was supposed to treat him this time," Naruto said dejectedly, then continued eating his ramen.
'Poor little Naruto, your future path will be much more difficult than you imagine. I hope you can persevere.' Watching Naruto continue to enjoy his meal, Ichiro couldn't help but feel even more sorry for him. It wasn't that he hadn't considered killing Wang Han, but he wasn't even half confident of success. He was more likely to be the one killed in the end. He could sense the terrifying bloodlust and killing intent emanating from Wang Han, which was why he dared not easily fight him.

"Hmph!" Wang Han left Ichiraku Ramen, gave a light snort, and walked back to his clinic. Naruto, Madara Uchiha, Ichiraku, or Kaguya Otsutsuki—none of them posed a threat to Wang Han. His true purpose lay elsewhere. As for genjutsu, even without relying on resurrection to dispel negative status effects, he now possessed the ability to break it.
………………………………………………
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Han has returned to his boring life of seeing doctors, and Naruto and the others have returned to the grueling D-rank missions. Life seems to have returned to normal.
However, there's a problem: since returning from the Land of Waves, the Hyuga clan has been extremely wary of Wang Han. They've not only been keeping a close watch on him, but the clan head, Hyuga Hiashi, has personally visited Wang Han twice to inquire about his acupuncture and acupressure points. Clearly, the Hyuga clan knows about his acupuncture treatment of Kakashi in the Land of Waves. However, Wang Han has already stolen Ranmaru's Red Eye (a bloodline limit that counters the Hyuga clan's Byakugan), rendering the Hyuga clan's surveillance ineffective. Wang Han also temporarily dismissed Hiashi's inquiries, stating that acupuncture is his signature medical technique.
Today, a group of genin from other villages suddenly appeared in Konoha, and the villagers began to discuss a new piece of news: the Chunin Exams, which were to be held by Konoha, were about to begin.
