Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki.

Before long, the stinging pain that felt like it was tearing my eyeballs apart subsided like the tide.

Hinata Seiran blinked slightly, looking somewhat dazed.

That sign of impending transformation vanished completely as the power ceased.

"Is my eye roll... not pure enough?"

He muttered to himself.

He then tried to control the puppet again, hoping to rekindle the connection through that link.

No matter how hard he tried, he could never recapture that feeling.

It's like a highway that's briefly open, only to be completely shut down after one transport mission.

"As expected, the problem still lies in the eye rolls..."

"But now that the key has been unlocked, the rest is not difficult."

Hinata Seiran slowly stood up, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his temples, and looked at the puppet standing quietly in front of him with a complicated and somewhat nostalgic gaze.

"Let's call her Qing."

Hinata Seiran raised his hand and gently stroked that familiar face that made him feel dazed.

"Death is not the end of life; being forgotten is..."

The voice was very soft, like a whisper to a puppet, or like saying goodbye to one's past self.

After a moment of silence, he withdrew his hand.

"But for now, let's stay here..."

He took one last look at Qing, with whom he had reconnected, and slowly closed the stone wall, sealing everything inside the cave.

Outside the cave, the sky remained clear and blue.

The wind was gentle, and the light was bright.

From the largest house in the center of the village, faint whispers and barely suppressed excitement could still be heard.

Hinata Seiran looked up and glanced in that direction.

The discomfort he had felt earlier had long since faded.

He remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not think about it any further.

It's time to go back.

"Three days...aren't we going to give them anything to eat?"

"It's been a whole day."

Inside a luxury hotel room, Akimichi Choman sat cross-legged on the floor, clutching a large bag of potato chips and munching away.

As he ate, he looked up and gazed at the iron cage at the deepest part of the room.

On the left side of the cage was the mentally challenged and dazed Demayi, while on the right side was Shaziyi, who was bound tightly.

"Timon, are you alright?"

Three days later, Shan Zhong glanced back at him, his face full of disbelief.

He pointed at Shaciyi: "That woman stabbed you several times. It's one thing if you don't hate her, but now you're actually starting to pity her?"

"I don't feel anything."

Ding Man shook his head and continued crunching on his potato chips, his tone unusually serious.

"I just think we should perhaps treat prisoners a little better."

"Look at that black man... you've turned him into an idiot."

"..."

After three days in the mountains, his smile froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

What do you mean he turned someone into an idiot?

It's obvious that the opponent's mental fortitude is too weak; they couldn't even withstand his secret technique!

"Ahem, stop fooling around, Timon, keep a close eye on this woman." He regained his composure and lowered his voice: "According to Dekayi's memories, she is a squad leader, and she must know a lot of information."

"Lu Yan will return to the capital with His Highness. Then we will go with Captain Qinglan to escort her back to the interrogation department..."

At this point, Yamanaka Santen's lips gradually parted into a wide grin, revealing a classic villainous chuckle.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A moment later, he regained his composure, humming an off-key tune as he left the room, leaving Dingman alone to continue guarding the room.

Dingman lowered his head, grabbed another handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, but his gaze unconsciously drifted toward Shaziyi.

At this moment, Shaziyi was completely heartbroken.

The mission failed, intelligence was leaked, and one of the comrades became mentally impaired and the other died.

And she, a dignified Jonin of Kumogakure, was actually captured alive by Konoha's Ino-Shika-Cho squad and tied up here like cargo, unable to even resist.

If she could, she would rather die right now.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.

Sachiyi shifted her body slightly, trying to make her current uncomfortable position a little more comfortable.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a gaze falling on her.

Looking up, I saw that Akimichi Choman was chewing while staring intently at the curves of her body outlined by the ropes.

Shazi: "..."

That fatso...

Could it be... that he had some wicked thoughts?

Her expression changed several times.

If so...

There might still be a glimmer of hope.

She wasn't incapable of using her beauty to seduce others.

Although my partner is fat, and ridiculously fat, there's nothing else to complain about now.

Thinking of this, Shazi gritted her teeth, suppressed her shame, and quickly devised a battle plan in her mind.

The next second, she slightly raised her chin, her eyes softening.

Those already alluring eyes curved slightly as they cast a look at Akimichi Choman that was a mixture of charm, vulnerability, and a hint of coy reluctance.

Even if a normal man didn't get infected, he would still be stunned for a moment.

As it turned out, Timon was indeed taken aback for a moment.

Choman Akimichi blinked and stopped eating potato chips.

"Do you want to speak?"

Shazi nodded quickly.

"Do you want something to eat?"

Sachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously again.

"No."

"?"

Chapter 19: It's Not Impossible for Me Too (Please Read On)

Shaziyi froze completely.

"Although your performance just now was indeed quite moving."

"but...."

As Timon finished speaking, he held up one finger, his face radiating an air of certainty that said, "I have seen through everything."

"I've already seen through your intentions!"

Shazi's heart skipped a beat.

This fat guy...

He actually saw through her plan to use her beauty to escape!

For a moment, a somewhat absurd thought arose in Shazi's mind.

Could it be this seemingly the most dull and slow-witted guy?

Actually, he's the one who's been hiding the deepest part of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio?

Just as her mind was racing, she heard Akimichi Choman solemnly give the answer: "You must have heard me say that we should be nicer to the prisoners, so you're trying to trick me into sharing the limited edition potato chips with you, right?!"
