I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"She needs this inheritance to become human again!"

"!!!"

Chiaki was clearly taken aback by what Mirai said, and the Grim Reaper also looked at Mirai with confusion.

[Little girl from the Blood Pool clan, I remember you...]

Death narrowed its eyes. The future had always been by Chiaki's side, and it had seen the future once before.

Moreover, when Future first arrived in this world, it knew that the evil god had fought with her, and that the evil god had backed down.

"Qianqiu must obtain this inheritance!"

With one hand holding Chiaki's, and the other raising the Blood-Stained Katana, she firmly declared to the Grim Reaper, "She is a member of the Uzumaki clan's royal family, and by all accounts, she is absolutely qualified to receive this complete inheritance!"

"Since you are also a god within the rules, then you must abide by the rules, right?"

"Since Qianqiu meets the qualifications and needs this inheritance, why not quickly hand it over to Qianqiu?"

The future was once part of the rules, so it naturally understands what rules within the rules mean.

Starting from this direction, death is absolutely irresistible.

However, something unexpected happened: Death slowly shook his head and spoke to her.

【Little girl from the Blood Pool clan, you're right】

But what is your relationship with Senju Chiaki?

Can you make that decision for her?

Death stares straight into the future, appearing rigid and straightforward.

"I can offer the inheritance, but according to the rules, it must be told to me personally by someone who possesses the qualifications of a member of the Uzumaki clan's royal family!"

"Isn't this simple?"

"Qianqiu! Tell it quickly!"

Future turned to look at Chiaki with delight. As long as Chiaki asked for it, the Grim Reaper would have to hand over the inheritance to Chiaki. And Chiaki, who received the inheritance, would surely be able to completely control the other side of the realm and restore his human form.

"……Why?"

Something beyond our wildest imagination has happened again!

Chiaki tilted her head at the future, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why should I agree?"

"Why do you need me... and why do I need you too?"

"What will our relationship be in the future?"

Qianqiu spoke these words with trembling hands. She couldn't understand it at all. Logically speaking, she and her future self should be friends, best friends, but that was all there was to it.

The bonds between friends haven't yet reached the point where they're intertwined.

But why...

After she said those words, did she feel a sense of regret and sadness?

Why did the future look so shocked and aggrieved after hearing these words?

"Qianqiu, what are you saying?"

Minato and Kushina, who were standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and said urgently, "What does the future mean to you? What is your relationship with the future? Don't you know?"

A lonely girl, in this world, has only Chiaki as her confidante and support.

Does this relationship, where the future is willing to give everything for the future, need any further explanation?

"future……"

Chiaki gazed sadly at the future, "I don't know why, but I feel so sad..."

"Perhaps that wasn't my intention..."

The fluctuating emotions slightly tore apart Chiaki's heart, which was controlled by rules, and she involuntarily reached out to the future.

"……Fool."

Future's eyes suddenly reddened. She could tell from Qianqiu's words that she was not being sincere and that her words did not reflect her true feelings.

All of this is not Qianqiu's fault, but the world's fault!

You're always the one who stands in front of me, always the one who gives everything for me.

In this situation, how could I not be willing to give everything for you?

Moreover, it was merely a statement.

"Qianqiu, listen carefully."

Future took a deep breath, took off her large red-rimmed glasses, stepped forward, and grabbed Qianqiu's outstretched hand with one hand, their fingers intertwined.

With a slight pull, she drew Qianqiu into her arms.

"?"

Qianqiu was slightly startled, but still obediently hugged the future.

Although she was petite, she held Chiaki's hand tightly with her fingers, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Chiaki's lips.

Lips touched, devoid of any lust, only a feeling called "love" bursting forth like fireworks.

Chiaki opened her eyes wide, then slowly closed them, hugged Mirai tightly, and returned the kiss deeply.

Future mustered her courage, stuck out her tongue, pried open Chiaki's lips, and tried to draw out Chiaki's saliva.

Chiaki, whose emotions were stirred by the future, responded intensely, and the two embraced and kissed.

It wasn't until a moment later that Chiaki and Mirai separated, both panting.

"Do you understand our relationship now?"

While panting, she said to Chiaki with a cute but fierce tone.

"what relationship?"

Qianqiu tilted her head and curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"...I like you! You idiot!"

Annoyed, Mirai kissed him again. Chiaki chuckled, pulled her hand away, placed it on Mirai's head, and deepened the kiss.

"Me too, you idiot."

Chapter 455 A Severing Blade

"Death, give me your legacy."

Chiaki, with one arm around the future, calmly looked at the Grim Reaper and spoke.

However, it was clear that although her tone was calm, the knuckles of the hand holding her future were white, indicating that she was quite emotional.

Future blushed and buried her head in Qianqiu's body.

She was the one who took the initiative first, but she ended up being the one who was embarrassed.

【why? 】

Death looked at Chiaki with a puzzled expression and asked.

Don't you want to become a god?

"Gods, is there anything good to say?"

Having recovered somewhat from the shock of the future kiss, Chiaki retorted to the Grim Reaper.

"Look at yourself! What kind of life have you been living since you became a god? What kind of existence have you had?"

Follow the rules; I'll be there when you need me.

Death answered Chiaki's question honestly, and Chiaki smiled after hearing its answer.

Are you happy living like this?

【happy?】

【what is that? 】

Death said in bewilderment, "It is not human. From the day the world was formed, it has been part of the rules."

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Qianqiu smiled and shook her head. She had nothing to say about this kind of tool in the world.

"A god who cannot act according to his own will, who cannot follow his own heart, is better off not being a god at all!"

She raised her head firmly and said, "I will live in this world in my own way, following my own heart!"

"Death! Give me your legacy!"

【I see】

Death slowly nodded and raised his scythe at Chiaki.

"You need to think carefully about what will happen if you don't follow the rules."

Gazing at the gleaming scythe, Chiaki narrowed her eyes, a sense of danger welling up inside her.

As for Minato and Kushina, they are immune to the scythe's damage due to the rules.

But Qianqiu is different. She is in a demigod state. If the Grim Reaper's scythe falls on her, something terrible will happen.

This is a ritual; I cannot control it.

However, Death shook his head and explained regretfully.

According to the rules, I must swing the scythe across your body to transfer the inheritance.

Qianqiu narrowed her eyes, surprised that such a saying existed.

For an ordinary person, Death's actions are perfectly acceptable, since the scythe won't harm a human body after it has swung across it.

But things are more difficult for Qianqiu.

"...Qianqiu?"
