I am the most popular character in Naruto!

With Timothy, the main character of the story, on their side, even if the plot goes off the rails, Chiaki and Mirai will be safe.

"You...you...how do you know so much..."

He Yan looked at Qian Qiu in a panic, then suddenly realized, "Could it be that you found the last few pieces of Grell's Stone and also read the Book of Grell?"

"Now that you've read the Book of Grell, you should know that this power should not be controlled by humans, otherwise the world will be destroyed!"

He Yan spoke with great distress, while Qian Qiu shook his head and looked at Timothy, saying, "Timothy, let me ask you, have you ever seen a book with a black cover and minerals that look like Grell's Stone drawn on it?"

Chapter 164 The Qing Dynasty is Over

"A black book?"

"Is that the Grell Stone depicted on it?"

Although Timothy didn't want to listen to Qianqiu's words any longer, he subconsciously began to recall them.

"Stop talking nonsense! Isn't that Lord Hyde's diary!"

Indeed, he remembered books that were exactly the same as those described by Qianqiu. His heart tightened, and he had a vague sense of unease.

"journal?"

"interesting."

Qianqiu smiled, and Nilugu grinned at Timsi as well.

He Yan said indignantly, "This is impossible! There's only one book in the entire ninja world with a black cover and the Grell Stone painted on it. That must be the Book of Grell, there's no mistake!"

"That Hyde guy, he must have taken the last Grell's Stone and the Book of Grell!"

Chiaki nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Timothy has the Grell Stone embedded in his chest, while I don't have that broken stone at all."

"Isn't it obvious who stole the Grell Stone and the Grell Book in an attempt to destroy the world?"

"……Well!"

He Yan stared wide-eyed at Timothy, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is that so, young man?"

"You... that man named Hyde is planning to destroy the world? And these two ladies are trying to stop you?"

"You...you're all talking nonsense!"

Timothy clutched his chest with one hand and his head with the other, feeling as if something in his memory was beginning to shatter and overlap.

That was the face of the man who had harmed his parents, and the face of Hyde.

But his long-standing loyalty made him shake his head and dismiss this absurd "memory," his gaze turning cold as he looked at Qianqiu.

"I don't care what you say, Lord Hyde is a great man who strives to create an ideal state!"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a country free from war and filled with peace? Don't you yearn for it?"

"As long as Lord Hyde obtains the Grell mine, he will be able to create such a nation. Power is neither good nor bad; it depends on who wields it, isn't it!"

Timothy excitedly waved his hands, arguing his point.

"If such a country really existed, I probably wouldn't yearn for it..."

Looking sadly at Timothy, Future said, "Do you remember those armored men who were like walking corpses? They were probably your companions, weren't they?"

"And yet you can so easily let them die, isn't that a kind of twisted thinking?"

"This...this was all done voluntarily...it was a noble sacrifice..."

Timothy answered with his neck stiffened, his face already flushed. He could have said such things confidently before, but now, having been provoked, Timothy felt ashamed even saying that his companions were there willingly.

"If that's the case, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for this ideal country?"

Suddenly, Qianqiu asked Timothy, who was taken aback by the question and stammered, "Then...then I'm definitely willing too."

"But my existence is more useful to the ideal state; I must remain alive and useful..."

"what……"

Qianqiu sneered, "It's only natural for others to sacrifice themselves, but when it's your turn, you'd better make sure you're still useful."

"He spouts nonsense about benevolence and morality, but in reality he's nothing but a cowardly, afraid-to-die wretch!"

I despise people like you!

Timothy was already furious at being mocked like that by a beautiful young woman, and could only clutch his chest and shout:

"you you you!"

"What am I?"

Chiaki reached out and tossed Nilugu into the future's arms, then slowly walked towards Timsi.

"Since you're willing to give your life for your ideal country, then now's the time to obediently die."

Pink vitality surged continuously from Qianqiu's body, accompanied by overwhelming killing intent. To Timothy, the surging pink vitality was like a demon from hell opening its gaping maw.

"You...don't come over!"

Timothy frantically waved his hands at Chiaki, and Grell's Stone activated instantly, its pale green light transforming into a long whip that swept towards Chiaki.

"Is that right?"

Qianqiu observed the pale green whip and gently swung her arm.

The next moment, the pink vitality, imitated by Qianqiu, also transformed into a long whip and lashed out at the light green whip. The two whips intersected, and in an instant, the light green whip was shattered by Qianqiu's pink whip.

"This is impossible!"

Timothy roared in disbelief, and he swung his whip again, forming long whips from a large amount of green light, which lashed out at Qianqiu.

"It seems... to be very easy to operate?"

Chiaki raised an eyebrow, closed her eyes to sense the life force within the Grell Stone transforming into a whip-like attack. She raised her soft, boneless hands, her ten fingers flicking gently, and pink life force came alive.

Qianqiu seemed to be conducting a grand concert. Her long hair fluttered, and pink vitality shattered and blocked the pale green whip with the light tap of her fingers and the wave of her arms.

Papapa

The whips exploded in mid-air, the scattered energy blowing the entire tent away. Future reached out to protect He Yan, while simultaneously holding down Nilugu, who was anxiously twisting his body trying to stop Qianqiu.

"Little Nilugu, don't worry..."

Future gently reassured him, "Chiaki won't really let Timothy die. She just wants to remove the Grell Stone from his body. We will save his life."

Nilugu turned its head, its ruby-like eyes staring at the future for a while. It slowly nodded and settled down in the future's hand.

It seems that for Nilugu, Timshi's life is far more important than the Grell Stone.

"Nilugu... just who is that boy?"

"Why is it worth protecting like this?"

He Yan asked Nilugu with trembling hands. Nilugu turned to look at He Yan sadly. Future pursed her lips and said, "I think Mr. He Yan, you should have already guessed it. He is the last bloodline of your royal family..."

"Your royal family later returned here, wanting to leave with the Grell Stone, but they were massacred by Hyde and his men."

"Now, Timothy is the only member of the royal family left..."

"What……!?"

He Yan sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly at Timothy, who was fighting Qianqiu, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"My royal family... has been wiped out?"

"Is our country... truly devoid of any hope?"

Chapter 165 Times Have Changed

The pink-haired girl danced amidst the swirling fragments, her body radiating a vibrant pink vitality. Her hands moved rhythmically, like a conductor immersed in music.

The fluttering tents, the constantly flowing air currents, the swirling debris, and the vibrant whip of life intertwined in pink and pale green—this scene was like a grand symphony, slowly coming to a close under the direction of a single young girl.

"Let's finish it."

Qianqiu's hands naturally crossed, and two pink life-force whips crossed and struck Timsi directly.

"Wow……"

Timothy let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground, his entire body enveloped in pink life force, unable to move at all.

Qianqiu snapped his fingers with a smirk, and the various debris flying through the air lost its drag and fell directly to the ground.

"A thousand autumns~"

With Nilugu in her arms and He Yan in her arms, Mirai arrived at Chiaki's side.

Nilugu jumped off the future's palm, leaped onto Chiaki's shoulder, and then jumped back onto her palm.

Chiaki lifted Nilugu up. Nilugu looked at Chiaki with worried eyes, clasped her hands together and pleaded with Chiaki, then pointed to Timsi's side again.

It seems that it was still somewhat worried about Qianqiu, always feeling that Qianqiu would be targeted by Timusi.

"Don't worry, I was just saying that out of anger."

Qianqiu placed Nilugu on his shoulder and chuckled, "His use of the Grell Stone has really given me a lot of inspiration. I'm much better at controlling my own life force now, so I have to thank him."

"Also, I promise to spare his life, you have to take me to the Grell mine."

Nilugu hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

For it, the concept of mineral veins is utterly meaningless.

Right now, only Timsi, the sole member of the royal bloodline, is what it cares about.

"Okay, keep your word."

Qianqiu nodded and walked towards Timsi.

Animals are obviously much simpler than humans. Nilugu didn't realize that Chiaki had no reason to want Timsi to die; he still had a great use for him.

There's no way around it; in the animal's mind, defeat means death. The law of the jungle is deeply ingrained, unlike the sordid reality of humans.

"You...don't come over..."

Timothy lay sprawled on the ground, retreating backward. In the original movie, he fought Naruto to a standstill, displaying the chivalrous spirit of a knight. But now, he was utterly pathetic in front of Chiaki, his chivalrous demeanor completely gone.

"let me see……"
