I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Chiaki reached out and ruffled Mei Terumi's hair.

Kakashi glanced enviously at Chiaki's actions. He began to think that it would be great if he were a girl, at least he could freely touch other girls.

"Lord Qianqiu..."

"I don't know who I can ask for help with this, but I feel that you are the only person I can trust!"

"I apologize for what I said earlier."

Mei Terumi bowed deeply to Chiaki with utmost sincerity, then raised her head, looked steadily into Chiaki's eyes, and asked, word by word, "I'll ask you one more time, can you... believe me?"

"...Master Qianqiu?"

Lin looked up at Qianqiu and said with some worry, "We're still on the battlefield..."

Kakashi pulled Rin aside and said in a low voice, "Rin, Lady Chiaki has her own plans, you'd better not interrupt her."

He secretly gave Qianqiu a thumbs up. Goodness, you really know how to play hard to get. I've learned it!

And Lin, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business.

The blood-stained scarf around Qianqiu's neck trembled slightly. Mirai silently urged Qianqiu to calm down and not be fooled by this little vixen.

However, Chiaki remained silent, gently stroking Terumi Mei's head. Her soft, warm hand slid down her long brown hair and pressed against Terumi Mei's cheek.

Mei Terumi stared intently at Chiaki, not moving an inch even when Chiaki gently stroked her cheek, as if she had truly entrusted everything to Chiaki, including her own life.

"……it is good."

Chiaki's lips curled up, and his fingers traced along Mei Terumi's delicate cheek to her chin, lifting it up in an instant.

Although Mei Terumi tried to remain calm, panic eventually showed in her eyes when faced with this change.

Is she...is she going to kiss me?

"Ming-chan..."

Chiaki lowered her head and brought her lips close to Mei Terumi's.

Mei Terumi felt like her heart was about to explode, so she simply closed her eyes tightly, waiting for her first kiss.

Mei Terumi felt her heart pounding wildly, and her tightly closed eyes amplified her sensitivity to everything around her.

The warm breath of Qianqiu landed on the tip of his nose and on his lips, like tiny currents of electricity coursing through him.

Feeling an electric shock all over her body, Mei Terumi hoped that her first kiss would leave an unforgettable impression on her.

Now it seems that this hope is very likely to come true.

Seeing Chiaki lift Terumi Mei's chin and gradually get closer to her, Rin quickly covered her eyes, her face flushed as she watched their actions.

Although she covered her eyes with her hands, the gaps between her wide-open fingers did not block out anything at all.

Kakashi stared blankly at Chiaki and Mei Terumi, who looked like she was ready to be picked at will, and felt that his views on love might be about to collapse.

The blood-stained scarf around Qianqiu's neck slowly tightened, and the ripples on the scarf trembled wildly.

Mei Terumi felt the heat emanating from her growing stronger, so she took a deep breath and braced herself.

Since Lady Chiaki wants to kiss, then let her kiss.

If a kiss can earn Lord Chiaki's trust, then that's not bad.

Moreover, being kissed by a beauty of Chiaki's caliber is not a loss for Terumi Mei.

"Little girl, don't try to test any ninjas from other countries next time. This is my advice."

However, Chiaki merely moved closer to Mei Terumi without actually biting her.

The sweet scent of peaches lingered on Mei Terumi's cheeks, and Chiaki abruptly released Mei Terumi's chin, casually turning away.

“I know about your situation. You can come to me anytime. Within my power, I can grant you one wish, whatever it may be.”

"Kakashi, Rin, let's go."

Qianqiu disappeared from the spot, and Lin lowered her hand in disappointment, quickly following in Qianqiu's footsteps.

Kakashi felt as if his emotions had been suddenly pulled from hell to heaven. He stared at Mei Terumi in a daze, and seeing that she seemed to be in a daze as well, Kakashi could only smile bitterly and leave with Chiaki.

Mei Terumi stood there blankly for a long time before she finally came to her senses.

She touched her cheeks, and a blush rose on her face again.

The electric shock sensation slowly faded, but the surging emotions left Terumi Mei both incredibly excited and deeply melancholic.

"Thank you so much, Lord Chiaki!"

Mei Terumi bowed deeply in the direction Chiaki left. Although she didn't understand why Chiaki seemed to see through her thoughts, since Chiaki had already agreed, it meant that what she had been considering had already come to fruition!

That is to say...

The future of the Water Kingdom is saved!

Mei Terumi pursed her lips tightly and bowed to Chiaki for a long time before straightening up with tears in her eyes.

Lord Chiaki... he really is a remarkable person.

She can see through everything about herself, fulfill all her fantasies, and give herself endless expectations...

Mei Terumi reached out and covered her heart, which felt like it was about to jump out of her chest, and her cheeks grew hotter and hotter.

She pressed the back of her hand against her cheek, trying to cool down her burning face, but no matter how hard she tried, the ever-increasing heat made Mei Terumi cover her face and stomp her feet.

"Ahhh... What am I doing...?"

"It's clear... that Lord Chiaki likes girls... I was just trying to please her... to save the Land of Water..."

"But my current state... sob sob..."

……

As night fell, Qianqiu and the others, who had been busy providing support all day, returned to their tents and began to rest.

"Qianqiu, why did you agree to her request?"

Mirai, now back in human form, nestled in Chiaki's arms and began to eat the food and water in small bites.

Kakashi and Rin, also exhausted, sat to the side and began to eat to regain their strength.

All day today, apart from exchanging a few words with Mei Terumi, Chiaki and her group were constantly putting out fires in various places.

Although Konoha organized the Hyuga and Uchiha clans to fight the enemy, the ninjas of the Land of Water were not to be underestimated.

The numerous strange and unusual bloodline limits left the Konoha ninjas bewildered, forcing them to continuously send out distress signals.

Teams composed of Hyuga clan members were relatively safe, but those teams made entirely of Uchiha clan ninjas, as well as those composed of ordinary ninjas from the Third Rank, suffered heavy losses.

They are inherently weak in reconnaissance capabilities, and the ninjas of the Land of Water are skilled in assassination, so a single encounter could result in casualties.

Chiaki had no choice but to travel to various battlefields with Kakashi and Rin.

If the enemy isn't too difficult, Chiaki won't take action himself, but will instead send Kakashi and Rin to provide rescue.

Kakashi was responsible for attacking and killing enemies, while Rin was responsible for rescuing people and providing cover.

With Chiaki and the future leading the way, Kakashi and Rin performed exceptionally well, making almost no major mistakes along the way.

On one occasion, Kakashi and Rin encountered a Jonin from the Minazuki clan. His unique Ice Release technique caused Kakashi considerable trouble, forcing him to seek help from Chiaki.

Chiaki then had Mirai take action, saving Kakashi and eliminating the Minazuki clan ninja for him.

In that battle, Kakashi was completely helpless. He could only stare blankly at the ninjas of the Mizuki clan, which really made him feel depressed for a while.

"Um……"

Why did you agree to Mei-chan's request?

Chiaki rested her head on Mirai's shoulder, tilted her head, and replied, "Because she's cute?"

"...I'll kill you!"

Mirai angrily stuffed a mouthful of food into Chiaki's mouth. Kakashi and Rin glanced at the two of them and silently pricked up their ears.

"alright."

Qianqiu chewed a couple of bites of food, then said thoughtfully, "This problem is actually quite simple."

"Once we figure out what exactly prompted Mei Terumi, this genius from the Land of Water, to take such a big risk to ask me to solve her problem, then her request will become obvious."

"Is it so you can save someone?"

Future looked at Chiaki with a puzzled expression, and Chiaki shook her head. "That's not right."

“If it were about saving someone, she would have immediately tried to stop me from leaving, instead of letting me go.”

"Is it because of the family?"

Kakashi suddenly spoke up, "The issue of the clan must also be important, right?"

"That's not right either."

Chiaki shook his head again. "With Mei Terumi's abilities, she can grant any request in the Land of Water, which values ​​bloodline limits. It's impossible for her to be troubled by her family."

Chapter 371 An Ominous Premonition

Mei Terumi wasn't looking for Chiaki to save someone, nor was it because of anything related to her own family. So it couldn't possibly be for some other trivial matter, could it?

She's a very intelligent young lady; she wouldn't take such a huge risk to do something so trivial.

"So why is that...?"

Lin looked at Qianqiu in confusion, "It can't be because of the Water Shadow, can it?"

Hearing Lin's words, Qianqiu turned to look at Lin with a smile, "Oh my, you guessed pretty accurately."

"The next time I see the strategist, I'm afraid I'll have to suggest to him that you be placed in Konoha's think tank, Rin."

"???"
