Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The air inside the restaurant became even heavier than the thick fog outside because of Qianxuan's words.

Zabuza's bandaged face had only one eye fixed on Sengen, like a wolf driven to the brink of despair.

But that ferocity that was enough to scare away ordinary ninjas seemed so pale in front of Qianxuan.

"Home? Future?"

Zabuza's voice was hoarse and full of mockery.

"Don't make it sound so nice. All you want is a better knife."

Qianxuan didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

This silent gaze is more oppressive than any words.

Finally, Qianxuan's gaze turned to the boy who was curled up behind his mother.

"What's your mother's name?"

His voice was gentle, dispelling much of the chill in the restaurant.

The woman trembled and timidly raised her head. Although her face was slightly haggard from years of fear, it could not hide her beautiful features.

"First...first snow."

"First snow".

Qianxuan nodded.

"Good name. Do you know who I am?"

Chu Xue's lips moved slightly, and she mustered all her courage to answer in an almost whispered voice:

"You...you are Lord Sakuya Chigen. You are...the most powerful person in the ninja world."

This answer is not a compliment, but the only lifeline a desperate mother could grasp.

"That's right."

Qianxuan laughed.

"So, follow me, and no one will dare to harm you and your child again."

Looking at Chu Xue's pitiful face, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This white-haired mother is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace.

A cold gaze, like two poisoned ice spikes, pierced Qian Xuan's cheek.

He knew without turning around that it was Mei Terumi.

The meaning conveyed in his eyes was clear: You bastard, how dare you look at other women in front of me?!

Qianxuan casually withdrew his gaze and looked back at Zabuza, who had a defiant expression.

"Kid, I know you're not convinced."

He picked at his ear.

"You want to fight me?"

Zabuza clenched his fists and didn't say anything, but his eyes said it all.

"Okay."

Qianxuan's answer surprised everyone.

"How about this?"

He counted on his fingers, speaking with a serious expression.

"If you come back to Konoha with me, I'll find you some sparring partners."

"In our village, there's a white-haired guy named Kakashi, about your age, who also likes to play with swords. There's also a guy with the surname Uchiha named Shisui, whose eyesight is quite good. Oh, and there's also a blond guy named Namikaze Minato, who's quite fast."

Qian Xuan paused for a moment, then gave a kind smile.

"Come back to me when you can beat all three of them."

"At that time, I'll give you a handicap."

Zabuza's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

Kakashi?

Uchiha Shisui?

Minato Namikaze?

Any one of these names is now a household name in the ninja world.

Son of White Fang, Instantaneous Movement, Golden Flash!

Should we send him to challenge these three people?

Or together?

This is no longer just humiliation; it's a... dimensional reduction attack.

Tell him in a way he can't refute that you still have a long way to go.

"Alright, that's settled then."

Qian Xuan clapped his hands, like a leader who had just finished giving a concluding speech.

"CFO, check out."

Kakuzu silently pulled a money pouch from his pocket, his movements so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.

"As for you guys,"

Qianxuan looked at Zabuza and the other two.

"Come back to Konoha with me."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

Mei Terumi suddenly stood up and stopped him.

"When did I agree to go back to Konoha with you?"

Her voice was filled with suppressed rage.

"Um?"

Qian Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"Of course I have an opinion!"

Mei Terumi straightened her chest, her emerald green eyes meeting Sengen's gaze without fear.

"I am a ninja from Kirigakure! My clan is here too! I cannot go with you!"

The smile on Qianxuan's face slowly faded.

The temperature in the restaurant seemed to plummet to freezing point in that instant.

Kakuzu subconsciously took a step back, his heart skipping a beat.

Oh no, the boss is about to explode.

Mei Terumi.

Qianxuan's voice became very flat, so flat that no emotion could be detected.

"I'm here today to inform you, not to discuss things with you."

He raised his hand and pointed to the thick, impenetrable fog outside the window.

"Do you believe that if I wanted to, in less than three minutes, the entire Hidden Mist Village, along with your entire clan, would vanish from this world completely?"

"Then you can come with me without any worries."

That nonchalant tone was more chilling than any desperate threat.

Mei Terumi's body trembled violently.

Looking at Qian Xuan's calm face and his unfathomable eyes, she knew he wasn't joking.

This man is truly capable of such a thing.

Feeling wronged, angry, resentful, desperate... countless emotions, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed all her strength.

"Clatter".

A single, glistening tear slid down from her beautiful eye, fell to the ground, and shattered into several pieces.

Then came the second drop, the third drop...

she cried.

This woman, who struggled to survive in the blood mist, shouldered the burden of her family on her own, and never bowed her head in the face of any pressure, cried like a child who had suffered a great injustice at this moment.

"You...you bastard!"

"You unreasonable... domineering bastard!"

She cried as she pounded Qianxuan's chest with her fists, the force soft and gentle, more like a coquettish act.

This time, it was Qianxuan's turn to be dumbfounded.

He had imagined countless possible reactions from Mei Terumi.

She might be angry, she might rebel, and she might even do anything to harm herself.

But he never expected that she would... cry.

And she was crying so sadly, with tears streaming down her face.

Qianxuan panicked immediately.

He fears nothing but a woman's tears.

Especially since she was a beautiful woman who had made herself cry.

"Hey, hey, don't cry..."

He frantically tried to wipe away her tears, but then felt it wasn't appropriate, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

"I...I was just joking! Just trying to lighten the mood!"

"Look at you, how could you actually take it seriously?"

This clumsy attempt at comforting her not only failed to work, but actually made Mei Terumi cry even harder.

"Wow--!"

Qianxuan was completely at a loss.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe, he felt his head hurt even more than when Tsunade had hit him with her powerful punch.

"I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?!"

He raised his hands in surrender, his face etched with utter despair.

"The villagers of Konoha all say I'm henpecked. The thing I, Sakuya Chigen, can't stand most in my life is seeing a beautiful woman cry!"

"Stop crying! If you keep crying, I...I'll kneel down before you!"

Kakuzu, standing to the side, silently turned his head away.

It's unbearable to look at.

It's unbearable to look at.

What happened to that man who could decide the fate of a ninja village with just a few words?

How did you suddenly become such a helpless... simp?

Zabuza and Haku were also completely dumbfounded.

They felt their brains weren't quite up to the task.

This world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
