Chapter 401: Karin Senju
The Konoha Cemetery.
Mito had been resting here for a full year now. The flowers before her gravestone had long since withered, their once-vibrant petals reduced to brittle remnants. It seemed that no one had visited for some time.
The cemetery was mostly quiet, with only a few scattered visitors paying respects to old friends and loved ones.
In the distance, six figures slowly approached.
"It's been a while since we last visited Grandma," Tsunade said. Her tone was light, her steps unburdened—she had come to terms with her loss, and her face now carried a gentle smile.
"Well, we're here today to give her a little surprise," Nawaki said, holding a bouquet of vivid red roses—Mito's favorite color.
"You two are playing favorites. Be careful, or your Grandpa might get jealous," Kawakaze teased from beside Tsunade, nudging the siblings.
"As if," Tsunade smirked. "Look what I brought."
Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a pair of paper dice cups, giving them a light shake. The distinct rattling of dice could still be heard inside.
"You really know how to cater to someone's tastes," Kawakaze muttered, momentarily stunned. He had never seen anyone bring that to a grave offering before.
"Great-Grandpa really loved gambling, huh?"
