I am the most popular character in Naruto!

It should be noted that most of the ninjas in the third formation were either frontline soldiers who had retreated to Konoha to recuperate from their injuries, or were Chunin and Genin who had not been able to go to the battlefield in the first place.

These people share the same characteristics: they ask each other about the situation on the battlefield and are quite eager to see what is happening there.

When it comes to ensuring everyone survives, the only person that comes to mind is that legendary ninja who completely conquered the entire Konoha Hospital—

"Konoha's Goddess of Life! Our little princess! Senju Chiaki!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed as he loudly introduced the topic.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, a pink light immediately flashed in the sky!

Immediately afterwards, the pink light projected thousands upon thousands of pink chakra threads, which directly connected to everyone present!

In an instant, the plaza in front of the Hokage Building was filled with pink light, and a pink chakra thread connected to each ninja. A warm life force surged from the pink chakra thread, beginning to heal the hidden injuries on everyone present and restore their physical strength.

Upon seeing these legendary chakra lines, all the ninjas went berserk.

"Goddess of Life——!"

"Your Highness!"

“OMG!!!”

Feeling the chakra threads constantly replenishing their bodies, the ninjas went crazy.

Is this something a human could do?

Is it really possible to treat tens of thousands of people in an instant?

"Forever! Forever! Forever!"

Aside from the Uchiha, whose faces were filled with complex emotions and fear, and the Hyuga clan, who were already quite kind to Chiaki, all the other ninjas cheered and shouted. The most enthusiastic among them was a boy wearing a green bodysuit with watermelon-shaped hair.

He held the flag, a symbol reserved for the most dedicated and hardcore members of the "Eternal Love Support Group," and led the crowd in a frenzy of shouts and cheers.

Chiaki slowly emerged from behind the curtain, her back to the sunlight, radiating a pink holy light, with the other side of the realm gently floating behind her.

The pale purple kimono and bright red parasol seemed to symbolize the goddess of life. Chiaki smiled gently, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed to the crowd.

"A thousand hands and a thousand autumns, greetings to you all."

"Greetings, everyone."

Chapter 363 Chang Wei! You still say you don't know martial arts!

"I really can't imagine just how popular you are."

In the command center, Minato Namikaze said to Chiaki with a wry smile.

Chiaki covered her mouth with her hand and laughed, "Senior Brother Minato is joking. As the commander-in-chief of the defensive battle, you are not much less popular than me."

At this point, the pre-battle mobilization led by Hiruzen Sarutobi had ended. In fact, the atmosphere at the scene had become uncontrollable as soon as Chiaki appeared.

Only after Kakashi rushed out and subdued the incredibly agitated green-skinned preacher was the pre-battle mobilization barely able to proceed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then introduced the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, making him the overall commander of the defensive battle, leading the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and all other ninjas against the ninjas of the Land of Water.

After Minato said those words and successfully advanced to Kage level, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already begun to consider building momentum for Minato.

The name "Yellow Flash" is already comparable to that of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. In addition, Minato is quite young and energetic, making him a promising talent. Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't mind giving him a hand.

Considering that Chiaki had previously recommended Minato and that Minato had spent a long time in the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi had seriously considered the possibility of making Minato the next Hokage.

Clearly, the position of commander-in-chief for this defensive battle was created to allow Minato to demonstrate his abilities.

If Minato can truly demonstrate his abilities and charisma befitting a Kage in this defensive battle, he may very well gain a real say in the position of Hokage candidate.

The pre-battle mobilization had ended, and Minato had also produced a prepared battle plan, beginning to plan against the ninjas in the three formations.

Needless to say, the third formation was naturally broken up and deployed among the Hyuga and Uchiha clans to form a complete combat system.

For this ragtag group, it didn't really matter who they fought alongside; the important thing was that Chiaki would be with them, so they wouldn't be afraid of losses in battle, and that was enough.

The key issue lies with the Hyuga and Uchiha clans; the real challenge is persuading them to obey orders.

"Lord Minato, Lord Hiashi Hyuga requests an audience with you both."

Just as Minato and Chiaki were discussing how to persuade the two powerful clans, an ANBU suddenly appeared, bowed to them, and said...

"Hinata Hiashi?"

Minato raised an eyebrow, then turned his gaze to Chiaki.

It was obvious that his relationship with Hiashi Hyuga was just so-so. Although he was the commander-in-chief, it was not enough for Hiashi Hyuga to come and greet him personally.

Therefore, the only person who could make Hiashi Hyuga come in person and use the phrase "request an audience" is probably Chiaki.

"Um... well... would you believe me if I said I'm not familiar with it either?"

Chiaki touched her nose. Actually, like Minato, she was more familiar with Hyuga Hizashi than with Hyuga Hiashi.

"I believe."

Minato smiled slightly at Chiaki, who muttered and waved her hand dismissively, "Tch, your attitude clearly shows you don't believe me."

Soon, Hiashi Hyuga arrived in front of Minato and Chiaki, greeting them with a smile, "Yellow Flash, Goddess of Life, your names are truly legendary!"

"You're too kind, Hyuga clan leader."

Minato gestured to Hiashi Hyuga, leading him to sit down.

"Hehe, then I'll really not hold back."

Hiashi Hyuga sat down with a smile. Given his status and position, Hiashi Hyuga shouldn't have been so polite to Minato and Chiaki; he was just being courteous.

Although he was greeting Minato, his gaze was fixed on Chiaki, who was fiddling with the blood-stained scarf wrapped around her neck.

"What brings the Hyuga clan head here today?"

Minato noticed Hiashi Hyuga's gaze and understood even more clearly.

Chang Wei, you still say you can't... cough.

Qianqiu! You still say you're not familiar with them?!

Do you think people who don't know you will keep staring at you?

"If it's about the upcoming battle plan, then I think the arrival of the Hyuga clan leader is just in time."

Minato continued, "I'm about to discuss the plans of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans with the two clan leaders."

"Hey……"

Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand at Minato and casually said, "We, the Hyuga clan, have no objections to the plan. Whatever the Commander-in-Chief says goes. None of us have any problems!"

Hiashi Hyuga would never have any problems in this regard. He has always been a politically correct guy. From the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over the position of commander-in-chief of the defensive battle to Minato, Hiashi Hyuga already understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning.

I have high hopes for this young man, and you all should keep an eye on him too.

Both logically and emotionally, the Hyuga clan, who have secured their position as the most powerful clan in Konoha due to their correct political stance and operational practices, must abide by and uphold all orders issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"So, what is the Hyuga clan leader's purpose this time...?"

Minato asked Hyuga Hiashi with a "puzzling" look, his gaze, like Hyuga Hiashi's, was focused on Chiaki.

Your Highness, the Little Princess of Konoha, Goddess of Life.

If we're really talking about it, Chiaki's name is much more useful and widely accepted in the entire ninja world than the Yellow Flash's.

Because of Minato's strength, the orders issued by the various countries of the ninja world were naturally no different from those given to Sakumo Hatake when he was still active.

If you encounter a golden flash, the mission can be canceled unconditionally without any consequences.

The situation was different for Chiaki. In addition to the option to cancel the mission, almost all the ninjas received another order.

Whoever can bring Chiaki back to the Ninja Village will receive the highest level of reward!

At the same time, even if you can't force it, you should still leave a good impression on Chiaki.

The reason is simple: Minato is a purely combat-oriented ninja; his role is solely in combat.

Chiaki, however, is a medical ninja, and one of the top medical ninjas in the entire ninja world.

Who knows, if someone in my country encounters a difficult medical problem in the future, I might be able to get her to lend a hand thanks to my slightly better personal relationship with Qianqiu.

Just like in the original story, not many people would actually provoke Tsunade; medical ninjas are always the most popular people in the ninja world, without exception.

"Oh... I don't have anything else to say."

Hiashi Hyuga smiled at Minato, then looked at Chiaki, who was fiddling with the blood-stained scarf around his neck and joking with him through their shared consciousness and future.

"The main reason for my visit is to express my gratitude to Her Highness the Princess for her kindness to my younger brother..."

"as well as……"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Chapter 364 What You Promised?

Hiashi Hyuga took out a brocade box wrapped in a red handkerchief from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"This is an extremely precious medicinal herb. I've thought long and hard but I don't know what else to give as a gift. I can only say that I'm using this to express my feelings."

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Chiaki and said, Chiaki lazily raised his head and glanced at the brocade box wrapped in a red square scarf. Hyuga Hiashi quickly opened the brocade box, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.

Hyuga Hiashi put a lot of effort into both the quality of the gift and its specifications.

This is an attempt to curry favor with Chiaki, offering her some benefits so that she might take care of her Hyuga clan in the future.

Hiashi Hyuga has always done a good job in this regard.

With his extremely high emotional intelligence, he naturally didn't forget Minato's place. Seeing that Chiaki didn't intend to move, he immediately gave Minato a look, stood up, and took out a storage scroll from his pocket and stuffed it into Minato's arms.

"Hyuga clan leader, what do you mean by this?"

Minato, both amused and exasperated, grabbed Hiashi Hyuga's hand. Hiashi Hyuga scolded, "Commander-in-Chief, that's not fair of you. I heard you're about to marry Kushina from our village, right? There's always a lot to prepare before a wedding."

"With the capabilities of our Hyuga clan, what can't we handle?"

"Just tell us, and I'll have someone take full responsibility. Whatever Miss Kushina likes, we'll provide!"

As he spoke, he used force to shove the scroll in his hand into Minato's arms again, "This scroll contains some essential items, used for making connections, and more than enough."
