I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Forget it, we don't even know where those two are right now..."

Fugaku Uchiha sighed, shook his head, and began to direct the Uchiha clan ninjas to retreat.

The front lines were incredibly fierce; the Mist Village seemed to be charging forward without any command.

The situation on Konoha's side was almost the same. Due to the disappearance of Minato and Chiaki, the ragtag army of the Third Rank was also in a state of chaotic fighting. Only the ninjas of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were able to act according to the orders of their respective clan leaders.

Swoosh

A black light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of Uchiha Fugaku, kneeling down before him.

"Stop the water!"

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes lit up when he saw the dark figure, and he quickly asked, "How is the situation at the camp?"

"Chieftain, an urgent report has arrived from the camp!"

Shisui solemnly reported, "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have launched a full-scale attack. Lord Minato is still missing, and Princess has gone to participate in the battle alone!"

"Miss Kuriyama Mirai, the bloodthirsty young girl, has returned with her squad, which was attacked by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and has issued an urgent appeal for help. Please immediately find Lord Minato to go and support Princess Mirai!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!?"

Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga were both taken aback. Their strength was stuck at the level of elite Jonin, and if they were to face the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone, they would probably die.

"This is terrible!"

Hiashi Hyuga clapped his hands heavily and said urgently, "Clan Head Uchiha, please take a portion of the men back first to assist Miss Kuriyama in defending the camp!"

"Then send a group of people to assist my Hyuga clan in finding Lord Minato's location immediately!"

"it is good!"

Fugaku Uchiha immediately agreed and assigned people to carry it out.

Hiashi Hyuga left immediately, and Fugaku Uchiha watched him go before his gaze returned to Shisui.

"Shisui, is there anything else you haven't reported to me?"

"Yes!"

Shisui nodded heavily, his gaze extremely serious and solemn, and said to Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi, who had noticed the commotion and rushed over, "Clan Head, Young Master, according to the information I have gathered..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence, looking hesitantly at Itachi Uchiha.

Clearly, Shisui was unsure about this information and could only turn to Itachi Uchiha for help.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are no match for Chiaki-neechan."

Itachi glanced at Fugaku Uchiha, who showed no reaction, and immediately said, "As for Mirai-neechan, she and Chiaki-neechan have separated, and the reason is obvious."

“A ninja beyond the level of cognition appeared in front of Sister Chiaki.”

"Only in this way will she choose to fight alone in order to save her future sister's life."

"So... no matter how exaggerated your intelligence is, I won't think anything of it!"

Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Itachi with satisfaction. He was not dissatisfied with Shisui ignoring him and instead focusing on his son's opinion. On the contrary, he was extremely happy.

This proves just how outstanding her son is!

"Speak, what information have you gathered?"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded to Shisui, who then took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I heard... he fought against Lord Chiaki..."

"Uchiha—Madara!"

Chapter 404 Seventeen cards can beat me?

"End this war?"

How do you want to end this?

As Minato and Chiaki moved, Minato asked Chiaki a question.

"Even though you've just become a Kage-level expert, you absolutely mustn't get arrogant, Chiaki."

Minato looked at Chiaki, whose demeanor and appearance had changed drastically, with concern. "Kage-level is just the beginning. Even if your understanding of the rules is superior to everyone else's, it doesn't mean anything."

"You still need a lot of time to build your strength; you're just a step ahead of others."

Chiaki turned around and glanced at Minato, her eyes naturally carrying a seductive charm. Minato was slightly dazed, and pinched himself to recover his composure.

This damn beauty is almost like an illusion!

"Of course I know."

Chiaki said softly, sensing the difference in strength between herself and Minato.

Minato reached the Kage level much earlier than Chiaki, and his strength at this time is much higher than Chiaki's.

However, if compared to figures like the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, White Fang, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, they are simply no match for each other in terms of strength.

Once you reach the Kage level, the competition isn't just about chakra anymore; it also involves foundation, skill, and understanding of the rules.

It can be said that the Kage level is just a standard, a standard for being able to fight on the same level as a Kage.

Having experienced Madara Uchiha's power, Chiaki was all too aware that above the Kage level, there was a level of strength called Super Kage.

Above the Shadow level, there is also the Six Paths level of power.

I am merely a Kage-level being who understands the rules of the world. I have only just begun my journey on the path to becoming a Kage. If I get too arrogant, I could die.

So what are you going to do now?

Minato followed behind Chiaki, moving around aimlessly. "Aren't we going back to camp first?"

The two of them had already left the camp and disappeared from everyone's sight for some time. If they didn't go back soon, something might happen in the camp.

"Hmm... I'll hold off for now."

Qianqiu pursed her lips slightly and gestured to Minato: "Senior Minato, do you have anything that can be used to notify the camp?"

"Let's tell them we're okay first."

Even if you don't return to camp, you should still report it to avoid causing worry.

"I really don't have this..."

Minato shook his head helplessly, "However, I can sense the location of my Flying Thunder God technique. If you need, I can go back first."

"This……"

Qianqiu hesitated. On the one hand, she wanted to end the war as soon as possible, but on the other hand, she didn't want the future to worry.

"So what exactly are you going to do?"

Minato stopped and looked at Chiaki, saying, "Also, I've been wanting to ask you this since earlier: what exactly is your current level of strength?"

Chiaki, who had also stopped, glanced at Minato and sighed, "I never knew that Senior Brother Minato was also a battle maniac."

"That's different."

Minato helplessly put one hand on his hip, "It's just that you've changed so much. If I had said that before, you would definitely have come up and beaten me up."

"But look at the present..."

"I'm starting to wonder if the Chiaki in front of me is the real Chiaki or someone else entirely."

Minato's concerns were not unfounded. Chiaki had changed so much, as if he were a completely different person, which made people suspicious.

"Alright alright."

Chiaki shook her head. If she couldn't dissuade Minato from his idea, he probably wouldn't continue to follow her.

"My next goal is to find a girl from the Land of Water."

"Girl?"

Minato stared at Chiaki in bewilderment. "When did you meet the girl from the Land of Water? Who is she?"

"As for who it is, we'll find out after Senior Brother Minato defeats me."

Chiaki smiled and said to Minato, "I suddenly realized that you don't actually need me. I can go by myself, since you don't have any sensory abilities anyway."

"Hey, that's a bit much."

Minato gave a wry smile. "But looking at it this way, it seems like Chiaki is still Chiaki."

"Are you ready to fight?"

Chiaki blinked, and pink chakra began to rise from her body. "After becoming a Kage-level ninja through my own abilities, I am indeed still a little unaccustomed to it."

"Then let me help you get used to your body, Chiaki!"

Minato took a deep breath and pulled a specially made kunai from his ninja tool bag.

"Senior Brother Minato, there's something wrong with what you just said."

Chiaki spoke to Minato in a sweet voice, pouting as if she were being coquettish.

Minato was stunned for a moment, and felt his movements slow down.

"not good!"

The next second, Minato immediately reacted, bit his lip, and jumped up from the tree.

Swish

Just as Minato had expected, Chiaki's attack arrived immediately. The pink chakra whip struck the tree where he had just been, startling Minato into breaking out in a cold sweat.

You should know that if you are hit by Chiaki's chakra whip, it's not just a matter of pain, but your life force will be drained.

Just in case, Minato immediately scattered some specially made kunai as a mark for the Flying Thunder God technique.

"Your reaction time was pretty quick!"

Chiaki glanced playfully in Minato's direction. Minato, who had been watching Chiaki's movements closely, was startled again. After realizing what was happening, he quickly used Flying Thunder God Technique to move away.

"Damn..."

Minato felt like he had seen a ghost.

Even though he is completely loyal to Kushina, why is he still captivated by Chiaki?

can only say……
