I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Shisui watched in despair as his tachi relentlessly approached Chiaki's back, seemingly about to strike him at any moment.

Compared to the slowly rolling mist technique, still water is definitely much faster.

The kodachi was closing in on Chiaki inch by inch. He had already lowered his strength and even started pulling the kodachi back.

As for loosening it?

That's impossible. The force used earlier was too great. Even if you let go, the kodachi will still stab Chiaki in the back due to inertia.

If that's the case, then it's better to take control of it yourself.

Chiaki is a legendary medical ninja, but she is not good at speed. Shisui, knowing this, felt a chill run down his spine.

“Yeah, yeah…”

Chiaki noticed Shisui's "not-so-fast" movements behind her and sighed softly.

She realized that the two groups must be fighting, but as for the reason for the fight...

Qianqiu's gaze fell on Qing's face, and his white eye was shining brightly.

It’s simply seeking death!

But then I thought about it again. Next, I would be going with Mei Terumi to find the Fourth Mizukage. It wouldn't be good if we were missing a sensory ninja along the way.

It's unrealistic to expect a Konoha ninja to accompany him. Not to mention that there's a war going on right now, even in normal times, Chiaki wouldn't be confident that he could get a Konoha sensory ninja to go to the Land of Water with him.

reason?

Why do you even need to ask why?

Where in the world would anyone go directly to another country to assassinate Shadow?

I'd be laughed to death if I told people this!

Thinking about it that way, Ao would be very suitable to be this sensory-type ninja.

He is a ninja from the Land of Water, one of Mei Terumi's "own people," and a character who appeared in the original work!

Not bad.

It's perfect!

Chiaki's thoughts raced because she didn't need to do anything herself in response to Shisui's attack.

Just as the kodachi was about to strike Chiaki, Boundary suddenly appeared and firmly grabbed Shisui's kodachi.

Meanwhile, a pink chakra shield rose up in front of Chiaki, firmly protecting her.

The Misty Mist Technique truly lives up to its reputation as one of Mei Terumi's trump cards; upon contact with Chiaki's pink chakra shield, it actually managed to melt it away.

If it weren't for Chiaki's continuous supply of chakra, the chakra shield would probably have shattered very quickly.

"Phew, it's settled then. Let's give Qing a hand and let him get the eye roll that's in the original story."

Qianqiu finally settled on a plan, and the attacks from both the front and back were easily dealt with by Beyond the Boundary in the short time it took for Qianqiu to think.

"As expected of Lord Chiaki!"

Looking at Chiaki, who effortlessly resolved the Misty Mist Technique without even lifting a finger, Mei Terumi's face revealed an expression of longing.

At the same time, she noticed the change in Qianqiu's temperament and appearance, and her eyes lit up.

So beautiful……

Qianqiu was indeed beautiful before, but compared to her now, she was like a pearl and the moon, a rose and a peony.

At this moment, Chiaki was so beautiful it was unfair, so beautiful it was breathtaking. At least Mei Terumi was holding her breath, her face flushed, afraid that she would affect Chiaki's beauty.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Chiaki!"

Shisui, who was behind Chiaki, quickly sheathed his tachi and knelt down on one knee before Chiaki. "I really didn't know you would come!"

Upon seeing Shisui's action, the Uchiha clan ninja behind him also quickly knelt down on one knee, looking at Chiaki with some fear.

This little princess is quite unpredictable. Compared to the usually carefree eldest princess, the little princess is very vengeful. She has had quite a few conflicts and interactions with the Uchiha clan, and you never know when she might throw a tantrum and kill a few people.

Compared to the terrified Uchiha clan ninjas, the Hyuga clan ninjas seemed much more delighted.

Their clan had a good relationship with Chiaki and always treated him with utmost respect. Chiaki's appearance further strengthened the Hyuga clan's confidence in reclaiming the Byakugan.

The Hyuga clan ninjas also knelt on one knee before Chiaki, bowing in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, everyone."

Qianqiu nodded slightly and said softly, "Get up, everyone. In times of war, there's no need to be so formal."

"Yes!"

Zhi Shui was the first to stand up, and the others exchanged glances and quickly straightened up as well.

"Your Highness, the thieves behind you are ninjas from the Land of Water. They stole the Byakugan that belongs to our Konoha!"

No sooner had they finished their greetings than the Hyuga clan ninjas began tattling to Chiaki, pointing the finger directly at Ao.

Chapter 409 I Receive Your Wish

"Oh?"

Chiaki followed the gazes of the Hyuga clan ninjas and looked at Ao. Ao awkwardly covered his eyes and took a step back.

"Damn thief!"

"The little princess is looking at you, and you dare to hide?!"

The Hyuga clan members were staunch supporters of Chiaki, and upon seeing Ao's actions, they immediately became enraged.

"Ah this..."

Ao looked at Mei Terumi with a mix of embarrassment and helplessness. However, Mei Terumi was staring blankly at Chiaki's stunning beauty, momentarily lost in thought, and had no time to consider Ao's feelings.

"So, can you tell me how you got this Byakugan?"

After looking at Ao for a few seconds, Chiaki's gaze fell on Terumi Mei.

She knew very well that Ao and Ao, who were standing behind Mei Terumi, were not strong enough to obtain the Byakugan from a group of Hyuga clan ninjas. The only possibility was that the genius Mei Terumi would make a move.

"..."

Mei Terumi still didn't react to Chiaki's question. She stared blankly at Chiaki, her motionless appearance making people wonder what she was doing.

The ninjas of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans both cautiously assumed defensive stances, as Mei Terumi and her group were enemies to be reckoned with.

Even if Qianqiu doesn't take them seriously and can speak and act as he pleases, they can't.

They must remain vigilant at all times, not only to protect themselves, but also to protect the safety of Princess Chiaki.

"Ming-chan?"

Looking at the motionless Mei Terumi, Chiaki smiled slightly and called out to her softly.

"what……"

Mei Terumi then came to her senses, and realizing what had just happened, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly lowered her head.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Lord Chiaki! I was daydreaming!"

What did you just ask me?

"Despicable ninjas from the Land of Water! How dare they be so disrespectful to Her Highness the Princess!"

The Hyuga clan ninjas were furious and stepped forward, ready to hurl insults at Mei Terumi and the others.

"Alright, can't you all see that the little princess has a strong liking for that girl?"

Shisui couldn't stand it any longer and reached out to stop the Hyuga clan ninjas, speaking in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

After Shisui offered a word of advice, the Hyuga clan members finally noticed Chiaki's expression.

Chiaki looked at Terumi Mei with an extremely gentle and tolerant gaze. There was no hostility or dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Good guy.

Does Your Highness really have a good feeling about the girl from the Water Kingdom in front of you?

Speaking of...

There are indeed rumors that the little princess is a lesbian...

But this won't do, the other side stole the Byakugan!

"Ming-chan, tell me what happened?"

Chiaki smiled slightly at Terumi Mei, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.

Mei Terumi then composed herself and bowed apologetically to Chiaki.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Chiaki."

"The white eye in the blue eye is my trophy, after all, we are still at war..."

"I was attacked by Hyuga clan ninjas, and I used the Misty Mist Technique... Luckily, I retained one Byakugan..."

Upon hearing this, the Hyuga clan ninjas were initially taken aback, but then became agitated.

"Your Highness! They are the murderers who killed our Konoha ninja! They must be severely punished!"

"Yes! If this thief is not eliminated, he will become a great threat!"

The Hyuga clan ninjas spoke indignantly to Chiaki, some even weeping and pleading with him to make a decision.

Shisui and the Uchiha ninjas exchanged glances and awkwardly took a few steps back.

For the Uchiha clan ninjas, their Sharingan is not protected as strictly as the Byakugan, since only Uchiha clan ninjas can use the Sharingan.

Even if other ninjas obtain the Sharingan, it is extremely difficult for them to make good use of it.

The Hyuga clan is different; their Byakugan is powerful and easy to use.

Even without Hyuga clan ninjas, they can endure the discomfort and make full use of the Byakugan.

That makes it a great deal.
