I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"She's in a very dangerous state right now, she can definitely be considered a dangerous element. She's lost all respect for life, she's completely reckless in battle, and she's fighting purely out of sheer willpower..."

"...To be honest, your grandfather fought in the same way."

Jiraiya gave Tsunade a disdainful look, letting her figure it out herself, "Isn't it a waste not to use such a powerful bloodline?"

“Unlike me, I’m just a commoner ninja, while you are Princess Senju.”

"Jiraiya, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Tsunade clenched her fists. She was so worried about Chiaki's mental state, afraid that she would go astray, but Jiraiya was just joking around with her.

"Alright, alright, I think this child isn't inherently bad, just like the first one."

Jiraiya smiled, and a golden light flashed around him.

"Teacher, we've already entered the border of the Land of Fire. There will be more exiled ninja this time. Should we let Chiaki..."

Minato, who had conducted reconnaissance in advance, returned and looked down at Chiaki with slight concern.

Like Tsunade, he was not optimistic about Chiaki's current condition.

Because Chiaki took the initiative to request the training, Jiraiya and the other two were in hiding, only appearing when eating. Chiaki basically ran at high speed along the way, depleting his life force while training to use chakra to enhance his speed.

With the support of a large amount of life force, Chiaki's speed of progress was not much different from the time Jiraiya expected to reach the vicinity of Amegakure, so Jiraiya agreed to her request to undergo training.

They will not appear unless Qianqiu is in mortal danger or actively requests help.

Along the way, Chiaki ran and stopped, fighting wild beasts and constantly honing his combat skills and basic taijutsu, shuriken techniques and chakra control. When he encountered difficulties, he would ask questions during meals.

With Tsunade teaching him combat skills and taijutsu, Minato teaching him shurikenjutsu, and Jiraiya providing foundational instruction in chakra control and basic ninjutsu, Chiaki had already reached the threshold of becoming a genin.

Ultimately, being a high school student, Chiaki's learning ability far surpasses that of children. Coupled with the extraordinary talent of this body, he completed the curriculum that ordinary children would spend two or three years learning at a ninja academy in just two weeks.

Of course, this also has to do with the teachers. In ninja academies, it's a communal system where one Chunin teaches a group of children. It's good enough if they can ensure that everyone learns a little bit. The most important thing is moral education.

What level are Chiaki's teachers? Tsunade and Jiraiya, who are at the peak of elite Jonin and are close to Kage level, and Minato Namikaze, who reached Chunin level right after graduation thanks to his talent.

Can these educational resources be the same?

Moreover, Qianqiu only learned combat skills and did not put much effort into ideological and moral development, so his growth was naturally faster.

Because of the lack of moral education, Chiaki seems to have deviated from the normal path and is heading in the wrong direction, which is what Tsunade and Minato are worried about.

"Your concerns are not unfounded."

Jiraiya spoke in a deep voice. He was willing to believe Chiaki, but that didn't mean he disrespected the facts.

"How about this, Minato, you go and lure a group of exiled ninja here, and let Chiaki deal with them by himself."

"It's time for her to experience a life-or-death battle with humans. Regardless of Chiaki's true nature, she can show her true colors in a life-or-death battle."

"How about we wait until the battle is over before we assess whether this child needs psychological counseling and moral education?"

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade. He found this kind of thing very annoying. He wanted to believe that everyone was kind, but ninjas ultimately had to go through life and death. There was great terror between life and death, and no one could be sure whether a kind person would remain kind after experiencing life and death.

"Teacher, Chiaki has only been studying for two weeks. How can you let her directly deal with exiled ninjas..."

Minato looked at Chiaki with concern. Was it a bit too much to make a girl go through a life-or-death battle so early?

"Don't worry, I've taught her the basic ninjutsu. Most of the exiled ninjas are genin, and besides, we'll be there to back them up. What's there to be afraid of?"

Jiraiya waved his hand, and Minato could only look to Tsunade for help.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade spoke directly: "If Chiaki really becomes that kind of madwoman who only knows how to kill, I will be the first to wake her up."

Okay.

Since the two big shots have reached an agreement, I, as their tool, have no choice but to comply.

Minato left helplessly, giving Chiaki, who was happily cleaning up the chicken, a sympathetic look.

Chapter Fifteen: After the female knight was captured by the goblins

"Time to eat! Time to eat!"

"Mom... oh no..."

"Sister! Teacher! Minato! Time to eat!"

Qianqiu placed the skewered chicken on the firewood, clumsily formed hand seals to release a small fireball spell to ignite the campfire, and then called out.

Free-range pheasants have tender meat and firm muscles; they only need a little salt to bring out their delicious flavor.

The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods, gentle touches, a few seasonings, and a touch of a cute little girl's soft humming—that's all.

He deliberately left two chicken drumsticks for Tsunade and Jiraiya, gave the chicken wings to Minato, and kept the rest of the meat for himself.

A breeze blew through the woods, carrying with it the rich aroma of roasted chicken.

This is the taste of salt, the taste of mountains, the taste of wind, and the taste of clouds.

This is also the taste of time, the taste of human relationships.

What Qianqiu roasted wasn't pheasant, but rather human relationships...

Swoosh

With a flash of golden light, all the roasted chickens in front of Qianqiu vanished. Chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken breasts, social niceties, a cup of wine—it was all just an illusion.

"???"

Before Chiaki could react, he heard a series of "thud thud thud" sounds, and then shuriken and kunai were crookedly stuck into the ground behind him.

You say it's accurate? ... It didn't hit a single target.

You might say it's inaccurate... but it truly didn't hit a single target.

"Why does it smell so good?"

"Oh, so you're a lone little girl, huh? Hehehe..."

"Big brother, lolis are so cute!"

"Yeah, second brother! It's been so long since I've seen a lone little girl all alone!"

"Me too!"

Three exiled ninjas dressed in standard gray ninja uniforms, with their headscarves covering their mouths and noses, leaving only their eyes exposed, strode up behind Chiaki with an air of indifference.

The eldest brother has long arms and legs, and looks like an emperor... no, more like an ape.

The second brother had a red face and ears, a fat head and big ears, and a robust physique, while the third brother was as short as a pumpkin and had a simple and foolish face.

"Big brother, if we capture this little girl and sell her to the Land of Hot Springs, wouldn't we make a lot of money?"

"Second brother, let's enjoy ourselves a little before we sell!"

"Me too!"

Swoosh

With another flash of golden light, Minato, who had not yet mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, already possessed the feel of the Golden Flash with just his Body Flicker Technique. He shared the roasted chicken in his hand with Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"What kind of grotesque and deformed people have you brought in? What is all this nonsense?"

Jiraiya unceremoniously snatched the chicken wings and shoved the two chicken drumsticks into Tsunade's hands.

"Teacher, even exiled ninjas have dignity and intelligence. No team of more than three people would be foolish enough to walk into such a trap..."

Minato reluctantly cut the remaining chicken breast in half and left one portion for Chiaki.

"Indeed, life isn't easy for exiled ninjas either; they're used as practice targets every day."

Tsunade nodded in strong agreement. Back when Hiruzen Sarutobi led them, they killed exiled ninjas along the way.

At that time, Konoha had only been established for a short time, and there were countless bandits, outlaws, and fugitive ninjas in the Land of Fire. Tobirama Senju simply ordered the ninjas leading the teams to suppress the bandits along the way.

During that period, the Land of Fire was thoroughly cleaned up by crackdowns on prostitution and organized crime. Anyone with a modicum of sense would stay near the border of the Land of Fire to avoid getting beaten up.

This habit has been maintained to this day, resulting in a high level of security within the Land of Fire, making merchants more willing to travel there, and gradually improving Konoha's economy.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble and rob in the Land of Fire either has real strength or no brains.

Unfortunately, the three guys in front of Qianqiu weren't very bright.

"Hehehe, little girl, don't shout. The louder you shout, the more excited we'll be!"

The eldest brother rubbed his hands together excitedly as he approached Qianqiu.

Just one bite! Let me lick it! Let me taste you!

The second brother's massive shadow obscured the petite Chiaki. He pulled off his mask and took a deep breath; a milky fragrance, the kind only a loli could smell, emanated from Chiaki, which was simply intoxicating.

"I...I want one too!"

The third brother tried hard to get closer, but his two older brothers blocked his way. He shouted anxiously, "Onii-chan! Let me see too!"

When the third brother finally managed to squeeze in, he looked at the petite and pitiful Qianqiu, who was clutching her clothes and trembling, and couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

"This is too ugly. Women should be strong, with skin as dark as mine, and they should be able to do manual labor..."

"Then...then I'll leave?"

Surrounded by three men, Chiaki was experiencing this for the first time, and she was still a little scared.

Hearing the third brother's words, she felt conflicted, but still made a shameful sound.

A girl with the heart of a boy in the body of a girl is called an ugly woman by a short man. Should she be angry... or should she be angry...?

"What nonsense! Those grown men just like this kind of thing!"

The eldest brother slapped the third brother hard across the face. "Putting a delicate and cute little girl down on top of you, bullying her until she whimpers, that's the pleasure of the upper class!"

"Pah, you're disgusting and a pervert."

Qianqiu rolled her eyes. Real-world pedophiles deserve to die!

Oh... now it's anime/manga?

That's fine.

"Big brother, I think it's not so bad to let little girls call me a pervert..."

The second brother touched himself, and his face, which was already a little red, was now covered with an excited blush, so red that it was almost black.

"Don't come over here..."
