I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Sorry sorry..."

Minato quickly apologized, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Judging from her behavior, she's definitely a girl.

Who would have thought that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was actually a nine-year-old boy just a month ago?

"Oh right, I almost forgot."

Qianqiu patted his head and said ambiguously, "Anyway, I'll turn back into a boy later, so it's not a bad idea to give my senior a little benefit while my body is still that of a girl."

"If my senior brother begs me on his knees and says, 'Please let me see your breasts,' then I can show them to him."

"I understand boys in their teens!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Minato felt like he had countless complaints to vent, but he didn't know where to begin. Before he could catch his breath, he started coughing violently, "What are you talking about?!"

"Oh well, I guess I won't tell Kushina, okay?"

Chiaki waved her hand generously, a gesture that made Minato think she was starting to resemble a normal boy. This was wonderful; finally, a boy was acting like one…

what!

Minato sighed, thinking, "Chiaki is a boy in essence, but in reality, Chiaki in front of me is a girl!"

"And more and more!"

Chiaki held up one finger and said seriously to Minato, "All that talk about love and stuff before was just a joke, just an act to lull that Chunin into a false sense of security, you know that?"

"I am a boy, but I am temporarily in the state of being a girl."

"Don't love me, it won't work."

Watergate: ? ? ?

"Chiaki, do you still dream of turning back into a boy?"

Minato forcefully summarized the topic, feeling that letting Chiaki ramble on would lower his own IQ.

Of course he knew it was acting, and he wouldn't actually fall for it.

Also, bowing and asking a girl to show him her breasts is such a shameful act that only Jiraiya could do!

"What are you talking about? This isn't a dream, it's something that must be achieved!"

With her hands on her hips and puffing out her cheeks, Qianqiu said angrily, "I can definitely turn back into a boy!"

That adorable demeanor made Minato silently wipe away a bead of sweat.

Yes, yes, whatever makes you happy...

Anyway, I think you can't go back to being the same...

Whizzing

Two figures appeared behind Chiaki at the same time. Minato quickly stood up and reached out to help Chiaki up.

"Oh, Minato's awake?"

"I was really startled when you fell. I was planning to use illusion magic to create the illusion that you were dead, but I failed, hahaha..."

Jiraiya scratched his head, oblivious to everything, while Minato gave him a smile.

"Hmph, your illusion skills are not even as good as mine."

Tsunade snorted coldly, glanced at Minato's condition, and nodded in satisfaction: "Chiaki is already a qualified medical ninja, even stronger than most Chunin-level medical ninjas."

"hey-hey……"

Chiaki scratched her head sheepishly, "Thanks to the Second Hokage who gave me all of this and my sister who taught me medical ninjutsu..."

"Mmm!"

Tsunade crossed her arms, quite satisfied with Chiaki's words, "Next, you just need to improve your strength, break through to the genin level and become a chunin, and then grow up well and become an excellent ninja!"

"Wait, little Qianqiu, I'm still teaching you! Where am I?"

Jiraiya realized he wasn't on the thank-you list at all and looked anxiously at Chiaki.

"Come on, your role isn't even as important as Shuimen's."

Tsunade gave him a disdainful look. Minato was truly pitiful; whenever medical ninjutsu training required guinea pigs, he was always the one to take on that role.

"why is it like this……"

Jiraiya stood aside, looking aggrieved, while Chiaki covered her mouth and chuckled.

She was naturally very grateful to Jiraiya, whose teachings formed the foundation of her entire ninja system; he was her mentor.

Jiraiya is just so hard to be serious about; when you're expressing gratitude, it's easy to subconsciously forget about him.

"Okay, no kidding."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Jiraiya and beckoned the others to gather together and squat down.

"Ahead is a temporary camp of Rain Ninja, but we've discovered something strange."

"Something strange?"

Minato frowned, while Chiaki, not understanding what was going on, simply squatted to the side and remained silent.

"Yes."

Jiraiya cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "We discovered a large quantity of military equipment at the temporary camp in Amegakure."

"Since this camp is near us, it means that it is also very close to Konoha's temporary camp."

"I don't know what Orochimaru was thinking, that he would let Amegakure stockpile such a large amount of military equipment so close to their camp."

"But now that we've discovered it, it's necessary to figure out the situation at this camp, or even better, destroy it!"

Chapter Thirty: Sweet Lips

"I'll take charge of the southeast, Tsunade will take charge of the west, and Minato and Chiaki will take charge of the north. Got it?"

Jiraiya casually picked up a scroll and tossed it to Minato, saying, "There are a thousand explosive tags inside. Take a look and replenish them."

"Yes."

Minato nodded and walked to the side to replenish his ninja tools. Chiaki followed curiously and picked up a few explosive tags, putting them into his ninja tool bag.

Who carries explosive tags around all the time? A decent person would just carry some kunai and shuriken, which is enough. You know, these things have weight, wouldn't it be heavy to carry them around?

And there's also a fatal problem: detonating tags are expensive.

Kunai and shuriken are made of steel, so they are not cheap to begin with, and explosive tags are even more expensive.

One explosive tag costs as much as ten kunai and a hundred shurikens. Do you think explosive tags are cheap?

Think of Tobirama Senju. He was so poor that he couldn't afford physical explosive tags, so he invented a multiplicative explosive tag, using chakra instead of explosive tags to save money.

"Where did you get the money?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in surprise. Jiraiya then pulled out another scroll, summoned explosive tags, counted the number, and put it back with satisfaction.

Although neither he nor Tsunade needed this thing, they still needed to stock up on it.

What if you need it someday, like breaking down a door or blowing up a wall? It's too tiring to do it yourself, and you don't have Tsunade's superhuman strength, so explosive tags are very useful.

"I used a portion of the military funds the old man gave me to buy 10,000 explosive tags."

Jiraiya grinned mischievously, pulled out nine scrolls, waved them around, and then stuffed them back into his pocket.

"Give me a thousand."

Tsunade snatched it without hesitation. This was all money! When you're short of cash, you can find a small, weak country and sell it on the black market for 10,000 coins a piece!

A thousand tickets would be ten million, wouldn't that be instant wealth?

"No, no, this thing must be used in the right way."

Jiraiya was lying through his teeth, and Tsunade looked at him with disdain, indicating that she believed him.

"Teacher, it's all sorted out."

Minato returned the scroll to her, and Tsunade snatched it away, happily lighting the explosive tags.

"Ten thousand coins, twenty thousand coins, thirty thousand coins..."

There was no other way; we were terrified of being poor.

"Really are……"

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly and said to Minato and Chiaki, "Prepare to depart. Be careful to protect yourselves."

"If the detonation tags are exposed, Tsunade and I will provide immediate support."

"understand!"

"Then, disperse!"

……

North of the Rain Ninja temporary camp.

"Take light steps, cover your toes with chakra, and move as much as possible using your toes."

"Slow down your breathing, suppress your chakra fluctuations, and stealth is easier than learning medical ninjutsu."

Minato gently instructed Chiaki, and Chiaki diligently adapted to stealth.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Qianqiu tiptoed, quietly slipped past the guards, and stealthily entered the camp.

Minato watched as Chiaki tucked her hands in front of her body, tiptoed forward, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, feeling an extremely strong sense of incongruity.

Oh my god.

You're a pretty girl with pink hair and twin tails! You have the potential to be an idol! Can you please not be so... uh... embarrassing?

"Watch my demonstration. Relax your body and use chakra to accelerate. You don't need to be so deliberate."

Minato sighed and crouched down, appearing beside Chiaki in an instant.
