I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"future?"

Qianqiu shook the unconscious Wei Lai and carefully sensed her condition.

Clearly, the future, like himself, was damaged all over due to the impact of the spacetime turbulence.

Get treatment quickly.

"I'll treat you right now... Shut up!"

Chiaki reached out and ruffled her long pink hair, muttered a curse under her breath, and stretched out her hand toward the future.

[Beyond the Boundary, activate.]

"???"

Just as Chiaki was preparing to treat Mirai and trying to summon her pink life force to share her life, she immediately sensed the strange consciousness in her mind.

Buzz

A pink vitality immediately emerged, and a faint, blurry human figure floated in front of Chiaki.

The humanoid figure looked almost exactly like Chiaki, but because of the difference in the way its life force was expressed, it was like a mixture of Chiaki in her childhood, youth, and adulthood. It could make people recognize Chiaki's appearance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be someone else entirely.

Treatment begins.

Buzz

Without any need for Chiaki's control, she only needed to show her desire to heal the future, and the pink humanoid figure reached out to the future. Pink light immediately appeared on the future's body, and her injuries began to heal.

"Well……"

Soon, after receiving treatment from the pink doll, Future, who had fully recovered, slowly opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw the pink doll in front of her.

"Qianqiu? What happened to you...?"

"No...that's not right...wait?"

Mirai stared blankly at the pink humanoid figure floating in the air, and at Chiaki, who was also staring blankly at the pink humanoid figure while hugging herself. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"What is this?"

Mirai broke free from Chiaki's embrace and reached out to poke the pink humanoid figure.

Her hand passed right through the pink humanoid figure, as if it had no physical form.

"do not know……"

Qianqiu shook her head; she also wanted to know what this thing was.

Can't you touch it?

The little hand in the future waved continuously inside the pink humanoid figure, completely unaware of any physical collision.

"let me try……"

After a moment of contemplation, Qianqiu looked at the pink humanoid figure and subconsciously began to consider it.

[Infused with vitality, materialized and transformed.]

As expected, the consciousness in her mind responded, and the next moment, the pink humanoid figure in front of Chiaki suddenly lit up, and its appearance became concrete.

The little hand from the future was gently repelled by the pink vitality, and when it touched the pink humanoid again, it felt the touch.

"Wow...it's so soft, so fun!"

Future's little hands kept pressing on the pink humanoid figure, while Chiaki's little face turned red.

"Don't mess with the future... I think I have a synesthetic connection... though it's very weak..."

"really?"

Mirai blinked, looking at the pink humanoid figure floating in front of Chiaki, and a mischievous idea popped into her head.

"Let's test it out, hey!"

She placed both hands on the chest of a pink, lifeless figure floating there blankly, and Chiaki immediately let out a soft moan.

"Well... don't..."

"Hehehe...Serves you right for always bullying me!"

With a grin, he began to move his hands.

The pink humanoid figure is formed entirely from life force, and the feel of it when sculpted is not much different from that of Play-Doh. Although it doesn't feel as comfortable to touch as Chiaki's body, it has the advantage of not resisting.

"Pinch me again!"

Chiaki covered her cheeks and chest, biting her lip, trying to suppress her sensitive cries.

Enraged, she looked towards the future, and the thought of retaliating instinctively rose in her mind.

The counterattack begins.

Buzz

The pink humanoid figure immediately sprang into action, taking advantage of Future's momentary lapse in attention to pin her down and launch a "counterattack."

"Oh no...no more, no more..."

As her future clothes were stripped away one by one, she blushed and began to struggle.

When a girl says no, she usually means yes.

"That's true."

Chiaki nodded in agreement. She had already realized that what was conversing with her in her mind was not something else, but the pink humanoid figure in front of her.

You could also say it's one's subconscious thinking.

She seems to possess dual parallel thinking, not in the sense of separate personalities, but rather a genuine, subconscious emergence of autonomous thinking.

Or perhaps, Qianqiu has gained an extra "stand-in".

Chiaki, controlling the pink humanoid form, subjected Future to a brutal and inhumane attack. Since Future was merely an embodiment of life force, her resistance was not very strong, and she was simply taken advantage of.

Fortunately, there was nothing around Chiaki and Mirai, and no one witnessed their antics.

Finally, when Qianqiu was so engrossed in watching the evil fire that she wanted to take the stage herself, Mirai blushed, pushed away the pink doll, got up, and put on her clothes.

Hmph, an incarnation of life force is acceptable, but if they were to personally take the stage, who knows what might happen between them on the spot.

Chapter 182 Crazy Diamonds

Forest.

Whizzing

Two figures flashed by quickly. After judging the direction, Chiaki and Mirai headed south.

The two of them were in the forest they had entered earlier to investigate the green light. This forest had become another world because it was covered by the rules of space and time.

Now, the rules of time and space have been broken by Qianqiu and the future, and the world has returned to its original state.

If that's the case, then all we need to do is travel back a long way to get back to that small fishing village.

"Qianqiu, what exactly is this thing?"

Looking at the pink humanoid figure floating behind Chiaki, Mirai inexplicably thought of those urban legends about ghosts, which was rather eerie.

Chiaki was currently training and getting used to her subconscious, so she kept the pink doll on her back.

She hummed softly, suddenly stopped her rapid movement, landed on the tree in a contorted pose, and spoke with a tone full of adolescent angst.

"Hmph, woman, you would never understand what a substitute is!"

"This is a creation of a perfect being, a gift from heaven!"

"From now on, please call me Qianqian!"

"???"

Future stared at Qianqiu with a head full of questions. Qianqiu stretched her left hand across her right thigh and placed her right hand diagonally upwards beside her face, her whole body contorted and barely standing, looking as if she had some serious illness.

"So what exactly is it..."

She sighed, ignoring Qianqiu's usual silly antics, and hurried forward.

"Tch... This is so boring..."

Chiaki pursed her lips. She found the future—a three-dimensional girl who didn't read comics and focused solely on making money and training—to be...

I love it the most!

There's no way around it, Mirai is just too cute. Even if she knows absolutely nothing about anime, Chiaki will still like this little Mirai.

"As I understand it, this thing is a substitute."

Chiaki pointed to the pink humanoid figure behind her, "It is called Beyond the Boundary, and it is the embodiment of my pink life force."

"It should be the product of the fusion of the Grell Stone and the pink life force after it completely melted into my body during the spacetime turbulence."

"Beyond the boundary..."

Future stared blankly at the pink humanoid figure, or rather, the Stand: Beyond the Boundary.

This Stand has a unique name in the world, a name whose meaning is known only to Chiaki and Mirai.

"Yes."

Chiaki said with emotion, "Do you remember? When I saved you in the Uchiha clan, the Yin-Yang Release granted me the ability to revive the dead?"

"Yes, of course I remember..."

Future nodded. How could she forget that at that time, Chiaki had gone into a frenzy, immersing herself in the pink life force and using it to reshape her heart?

"It was around that time that I was able to feel the energy from beyond the boundary mixed into my life force."

Qianqiu glanced back at the stand-in floating in the air. "This thing, it's hard to say what it is anymore."

Hashirama Cells, Uzumaki Bloodline, Beyond the Boundary, Grell's Stone.

These top-tier energies merged to create something akin to a stand-in, imbuing life force with the ability to be real and materialized.

"So... does it affect you?"

Looking hesitantly at the other side of the boundary, it was so conspicuous and so powerful.
