I am the most popular character in Naruto!

If she could, she would change this situation to ensure that none of these important people would be harmed before the final battle.

"You want to protect me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily dazed. Through Chiaki's resolute expression, he seemed to see another Hashirama Senju, another god of the ninja world.

But Chiaki was not Hashirama Senju after all, and her dream was not as grand, but it was still worth spending a lifetime to achieve.

"Is that so... You wanted to protect everyone... so you chose to become a medical ninja, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, then looked intently at Chiaki and asked, "Chiaki, would you like to consider becoming the Fourth Hokage?"

"If it were you, I think you could do it well."

"???"

Chiaki, still lost in her own dreams, realized what Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying and was filled with questions.

Etc., etc……

I just recommended Minato to you, and now you want to push the Fourth Hokage position onto me?

What about the water gate?

Five Dynasties?

Tsunade (Sixth Hokage)?

What about the seventh generation?

Kakashi?

Oh, removing Kakashi and just using Naruto wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Oh no, no, being Hokage is too much for me. Even Naruto's kidneys are so weak, I'm afraid I'll just get killed.

"No, no! I really can't!"

Chiaki refused outright, "I still yearn for Tsunade's life. I can't be Hokage!"

Chapter 200: No Martial Morality

"is it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Chiaki, who was clearly annoyed by the trouble, and said with a sigh, "Those guys really corrupted you. When I was young, I was obsessed with becoming Hokage."

"Hehe... Naruto isn't really that fun..."

Chiaki chuckled. She really thought being the Hokage was too much trouble; it would be much more comfortable to be an ordinary ninja.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly remain trapped in the village as Hokage if she wanted to save so many people; otherwise, it would be awkward if she couldn't save everyone she needed to.

"But how can you protect everyone if you don't become Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Chiaki with a puzzled expression and asked, in his mind, becoming Hokage would allow him to protect more people and bring them happiness.

With one hand on her hip, Chiaki confidently replied, "Even without becoming Hokage, I can still protect everyone!"

"Besides, I don't intend to protect everyone; I only want to protect those I feel should be protected."

I only care about my own family, not the larger family.

This is what Qianqiu meant; it's very realistic and undeniable.

After all, Chiaki is just a weak girl; she's not a superhero who can protect everyone.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a wry smile. Young people these days really aren't as passionate as he was back then.

"Protecting everyone is the Avengers' job. My job is to protect people like you."

Qianqiu muttered to herself, knowing the plot well, all she could do was use the plot to let those who shouldn't have died live.

"In that case, I'll give it a try and see how you plan to protect me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and extended his hand to Chiaki.

"Come on, it just so happens that I haven't exercised in a long time. Let's spar and see how you've gotten."

"???"

"No, thank you... I'm in a hurry..."

Qianqiu was completely baffled. What kind of situation was this?

Why do they have to start a fight over the slightest disagreement?

I just finished fighting Danzo...

Am I on a Pokémon adventure? Why do I have to fight every NPC I encounter along the way?

Chiaki was still somewhat unaccustomed to the dog-eat-dog world of the ninja realm, where strength reigned supreme.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, currently the strongest ninja in the world, has requested a sparring match with you. Would you like to accept?

□Yes

□ Accept

"Alright, ninja battles don't wait for your refusal."

Seeing Chiaki's refusal, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled. Without even taking off his divine robe, he simply removed his straw hat and threw it at Chiaki.

Swoosh

Even though it was just a straw hat, it turned into a black light under Hiruzen Sarutobi's powerful wrist strength and throwing force, and smashed into Chiaki.

"Life Armor!"

Qianqiu was startled and immediately clasped her hands together tightly. A pink life force armor covered her front, and the straw hat plunged into the life force armor, forcefully knocking Qianqiu back two steps.

"Hey, hey... third-generation grandfather..."

Chiaki was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old scoundrel, was on the same level as the demigod Hanzo next door, or even a level stronger overall, and he was going to take on a newbie like him one-on-one.

No more shame!

"Don't get distracted! You can't stop my attack with just defense!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and half-squatted down, patting the ground with one hand.

"Tsuchishu!"

Snapped

His chakra stirred up a clod of earth, which spun rapidly and transformed into a shuriken, hurtling towards Chiaki.

"broken……"

When Chiaki heard Hiruzen Sarutobi shout out the shuriken, she immediately knew something was wrong.

If we're talking about the most memorable ninjutsu used by Hiruzen Sarutobi in the original work, aside from his signature powerful techniques, it's this one—

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't fast, but he skillfully formed hand seals and launched a ninjutsu at Chiaki.

Hula

The homemade shuriken suddenly blurred, and the next moment, hundreds of homemade shuriken were thrown at Qianqiu.

It's so iconic! The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is practically a divine technique, developed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and taught to Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

This technique is incredibly practical, dealing high damage with low cost and covering a wide area. Adding chakra can further amplify its damage.

Just like a Gatling gun, the more chakra you use, the more sword shadow clones you can create and the more damage they will deal.

At this moment, these hundreds of homemade shuriken were just ordinary shuriken, with little added chakra and a small number of them.

Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't seriously fighting Chiaki; instead, he was engaging Chiaki in a kind of instructional battle.

"...Life Force Armor!"

Looking at the densely packed shuriken, Qianqiu smiled bitterly as he maintained his life force armor.

A large number of shuriken fell into the Life Force Armor without a sound, but many shuriken also forced Chiaki back.

"Be careful, the shuriken damage from a Kage-level ninja will far exceed that of a non-Kage-level ninja. You can't stop it with that armor alone."

Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed, then quickly moved closer to Chiaki and swung his fist at her.

No sooner said than done, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already reached Chiaki, who had no time to react.

She could only barely raise her life armor to shield herself, taking the full force of Hiruzen Sarutobi's punch.

boom!

With a muffled groan, the Life Armor caved in, and Qianqiu felt a tremendous force break through the Life Armor's defenses, directly impacting his abdomen.

"cough……"

She curled up from the beating, clutching her stomach and coughing dryly.

"Leave immediately after you've been hit, no matter how badly you're hurt!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi showed no mercy and swung another whip kick at Chiaki.

Swoosh

Qianqiu was sent flying backward by the whip kick, crashing into a tree and landing.

"puff……"

She coughed up blood, her life armor shattered completely, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's damage directly exceeded Chiaki's defense limit. The power of a Kage-level expert is terrifying!

Buzz

The pink life force activated, rapidly repairing Qianqiu's injuries. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up straight with a pained expression.

"Your vitality and regenerative abilities are a powerful weapon. Try to conserve your strength and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, he swiftly appeared beside Chiaki and coldly said, "An attack is never just one strike. After taking an attack, quickly adjust your state to block or counterattack the next attack!"

"It's coming! Watch closely!"
