I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Two thick, dark arms were placed over Qianqiu's head, as if they were about to twist her head off at any moment.

"Blood Lotus!"

The blood ribbons on Qianqiu's body grew wildly, and Wei Laijiao shouted as she used the secret technique of the Blood Pool Clan.

A giant lotus flower completely protected Qianqiu's head.

However, the blooming of the blood lotus was abruptly blocked between the two black and hard lines.

"it's useless!"

Aiolia unleashed his Lightning Release chakra, while Killer Bee also amplified his power and activated his Tailed Beast Cloak simultaneously.

Aiolia's explosive power is truly too strong. Without the assistance of the Tailed Beast Cloak, Killer Bee's instantaneous burst of power might not even be able to match Aiolia's level.

"A thousand autumns..."

The future painfully closed the lotus, the blood lotus petals were crushed and shattered one by one. She was ultimately just a Chunin, and even if she did everything she could to protect Chiaki from the damage, it was all in vain under this level of attack.

"Little princess!"

Hyuga Hizashi was equally dumbfounded. He lunged forward with all his might, but neither Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Cloak nor Aiolia's Lightning Armor were things that Hyuga Hizashi could easily break through.

The ending seems to have been predetermined.

Qianqiu seemed destined to die under the scorching blade of Jue Niu Lei Li.

Whether it was Aiolia, Killer Bee, or even Minato and Hizashi Hyuga, they had all foreseen this scene. Apart from the future, who was still struggling desperately, no one believed that Chiaki could survive in this situation.

Minato clenched his fists tightly, hating his own powerlessness. Hyuga Hizashi slumped to the ground, staring blankly at everything before him.

snap

The blood lotus shattered, and both Xiao Ai and Killer Bee were overjoyed.

Won!

With the defenses breached, everything about Qianqiu will be exposed before him.

What defensive and rebellious capabilities can a wet nurse possess?

Even if the remaining two escape, as long as Qianqiu's head is taken, it will still be a great victory.

At that very moment, in that very second, as the blood lotus shattered, Mirai, her face covered in blood, fell to the ground, struggling to get up again to protect Chiaki; Minato and Hizashi Hyuga were filled with grief, while Aiolia and Killer Bee's eyes were filled with joy...

Qianqiu's pretty face appeared in everyone's eyes.

She closed her eyes quietly, and layers of pink light flowed around her, her aura growing stronger and stronger.

"Actually, I should have reached the level of an elite Jonin long ago."

Chiaki slowly opened her mouth, and two pink chakra lines suddenly appeared on her body, hitting Aiolia and Killer Bee at almost zero distance.

The two men placed their arms around Chiaki's neck, but the moment their chakra erupted, both of them turned pale at the same time, as if they had been hit hard, and they coughed up blood and fell to the ground, looking completely bewildered.

"But why haven't I been able to advance?"

"I've thought about it."

"It's probably still because of a lack of practical experience."

Qianqiu looked down at the two horrified men. A pink humanoid figure appeared behind her and gently raised its fist.

"In this life-or-death situation, I suddenly understood a truth: the essence of all strength is nothing more than the flow of energy."

Chapter 288 Did I let you leave?

"However, it's clear that I grasped this principle a little late."

The pink energy around Chiaki circulated continuously, and Beyond the Boundary clenched his fists, throwing a punch at Estelle and Killer Bee who were lying on the ground.

bang

Two small craters appeared on the ground. Xiao Ai and Killer Bee, with perfect coordination, rolled to the side almost simultaneously and helped each other to their feet.

They stared at Chiaki in disbelief, then simultaneously glanced down at the pink chakra lines on their bodies, vaguely understanding what was happening.

The silver-haired man, who had been hiding in the shadows and almost forgotten, breathed a sigh of relief and put down the knife in his hand.

Fortunately, Qianqiu broke through at the last moment; otherwise, even he wouldn't have been able to save her in that situation.

At this moment, Chiaki exuded the aura of an elite Jonin. She had successfully broken through that threshold and become a true pillar of the ninja world.

Elite Jonin, standing at the pinnacle of existence besides Kage-level ninjas.

To put it in a more fantastical way, it's the final step before becoming a god.

Qianqiu's next goal is naturally to reach the Kage level.

However, achieving Kage-level status is not as simple as just accumulating strength.

As mentioned earlier, to achieve the level of a Shadow, in addition to having sufficient strength, one also needs to find one's own path to becoming a Shadow and develop an understanding of the rules of the world.

In terms of understanding the rules of the world, Chiaki has already surpassed all elite Jonin by a significant margin, reaching the level of Kage.

All that remains for her is to accumulate strength and find her own path to becoming a shadow.

Compared to ninjas like Naruto, who were born before he was even born and had already established their ninja way and their own path to becoming a Kage, it would be a little more difficult for Chiaki, a transmigrator, to establish his own path to becoming a Kage.

Well.

Ultimately, these are things to consider later. The problem that Chiaki needs to solve now is naturally the two people in front of him, Estelle and Killer Bee.

Let's get back to the topic.

Chiaki watched Ai and Killer Bee quietly. After becoming an elite Jonin, her appearance underwent another subtle change, though it was not obvious.

However, one can vaguely sense from her demeanor that Chiaki's extremely flamboyant personality, which was so extreme when she was a Jonin, has begun to subside, and she appears calmer.

Pink chakra threads connected Aiolia and Killer Bee, continuously transferring their life force to Chiaki.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly retreated.

"Go! Evacuate!"

Xiao Ai shouted decisively, and after the two of them retreated behind a giant tree, the pink chakra threads broke due to the obstruction.

After recovering from their shock, Xiao Ai and Killer Bee felt their strength slowly returning.

When they were first connected by Chiaki's pink chakra threads, they couldn't feel their strength recovering at all. In fact, they felt their strength and life force constantly draining away and being supplied to Chiaki.

This secret technique is terrifying; the pink-haired witch truly lives up to her reputation.

"The essence of strength is the flow of various energies, which is the rule of all things in the world."

Chiaki reread the sentence once more, then reached out and touched the future, Minato, and Hizashi Hyuga. The pink chakra threads reconnected, and the three's life force rapidly recovered.

"Qianqiu, are you alright?"

"Your Highness!"

"A thousand autumns..."

The three of them gathered around, looking at Qianqiu nervously.

Mirai even threw herself into Chiaki's arms, touching her as if afraid something might have happened to her.

You must know that just now, two thick, black arms were pressed down on Chiaki's head. The unparalleled Lightning Blade, capable of instantly killing a Kage-level powerhouse, struck her head directly.

In this situation, Chiaki actually achieved a stunning reversal, even seriously injuring Aiolia and Killer Bee, which is truly unbelievable.

"I am fine."

Qianqiu ruffled the future's short, brown hair, pushed her glasses up, and smiled, "I think I probably won't get into any major trouble in the future."

"Especially close-combat ninjas, to me they are like mobile blood bags."

"Unless he has the ability to suck blood, he will be the one lying down in the end."

"And ranged ninjas..."

Chiaki laughed out loud, "Unless you use a barrage of bullets to bombard the area like Jiraiya or the old man, what ranged ninja could possibly do anything to me?"

This is true.

As a close-combat ninja, once you get close to Chiaki, you simply cannot dodge Chiaki's life-sharing attack at point-blank range.

As for ranged ninjas, they are very likely unable to even break through Chiaki's life armor.

Chiaki is now a capable healer, and even before learning Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique, her own vitality is enough to support her in doing so.

If we assume that Chiaki reaches the Kage level and is qualified to learn the Hundred Healings Technique, the scene at that time would probably be terrifying.

"Just now...what happened?"

In the future, nestled in Chiaki's arms, he asked a question that had piqued the curiosity of Minato, Hyuga Hizashi, and even the shadowy Hatake Sakumo.

"What could have happened?"

Qianqiu laughed nonchalantly, "Let's just tough it out. With life shared, let the two of them take all the damage."

"Thanks to you guys for helping me block the first wave of attack, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through completely, and I probably wouldn't have been able to keep my head up when facing the two of them going all out."

After saying that, Chiaki affectionately pressed Mirai's cheek and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Hey, you two behind the tree, how's that going?"

Holding Chiaki in her arms, she shouted towards the tree behind her. Minato and Hizashi Hyuga quickly realized what was happening and were annoyed at their carelessness.

I was completely focused on Chiaki just now, thinking that Ai and Killer Bee had escaped because of their serious injuries, but are they still here?

In an instant, Minato and Hyuga Hizashi immediately assumed defensive stances, while Aiolia snorted coldly and emerged from behind the tree with Killer Bee.

"Thousand Hands Thousand Autumns, I admit your secret technique is somewhat strange. This time, I have lost."

"But next time, you won't have such a good chance. I'll crush you before you even have a chance to react!"

Xiao Ai clenched her fists fiercely, "And your secret plan, I will definitely ruin it! Remember that!"

After making those harsh remarks, he prepared to truly retreat.

Severely injured, Estelle and Killer Bee were no longer able to fight, and retreat was the best option.

"Did I let you go?"

Chiaki snorted softly, patted Mirai, and whispered to Minato, "Leave them here! At the very least, leave Ai with something!"
