I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"how is this possible?"

"Of course it's because I like you."

Qianqiu revealed a smile that could charm everyone, and rubbed her cheek against the future's head.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Kushina had already run to Chiaki's side and began to examine Beyond the Boundary.

Beyond the Boundary floated quietly behind Chiaki, completely ignoring Kushina and letting her scrutinize him.

"Kushina, be careful."

Minato tugged at Kushina, who waved her hand. "It's alright, Minato. This is just a manifestation of chakra. I have sealing techniques now, so I'm not afraid of this little thing at all... Ah!"

However, just as Kushina opened her mouth to mock her, the "little thing" glanced at her and pointed a finger at her.

Immediately afterwards, a pleasant voice rang out, and Kushina let out a scream.

"King Kong Blockade."

Wow

Large chains suddenly appeared on Kushina's body, binding her up completely.

"!!!"

Minato was startled and quickly reached out to press his hand on Kushina's body.

With a flash of golden light, Kushina was taken away by Minato and freed from the restrictions of the Kongo Seal.

"A thousand autumns!?"

Kushina exclaimed in surprise at Chiaki, "You...the thing behind you moved!"

"Ah... beyond the boundary?"

Chiaki glanced back at the pink humanoid figure without a care, flicked his hand, and the person on the other side of the boundary crouched down, clutching their head.

"I directly merged the heritage of the Land of Whirlpools into its body."

"With the legacy of the Land of Whirlpools, it can no longer merge with me."

"Because within that legacy lies the soul of a king."

Chapter 458 Princess Otohime

"The soul of a king!?"

Kushina was completely stunned when she heard Chiaki's words.

Mirai and Minato immediately realized what was happening. Minato frowned and stared intently at the other side of the boundary, while Mirai looked up at Chiaki in disbelief.

"Qianqiu, is this really okay?"

With a worried expression, Minato pulled Chiaki aside and asked, "I didn't expect there to be other souls within the inheritance. What would happen if this inheritance were to directly enter your body?"

Do souls fight over bodies?

If Qianqiu loses the battle, won't the soul inside Qianqiu become someone else?

"Well... to be honest, there are indeed some risks."

Chiaki touched her cheek and glanced at Beyond the Boundary, who was squatting on the ground.

"But it seems that this royal is just a little girl, not threatening at all."

"How rude of me! Who is the little girl!"

Beyond the Boundary suddenly stood up, puffing out her cheeks as she said to Chiaki, "I am a member of the Uzumaki clan, a princess from the ocean! Uzumaki Otohime!"

"Otohime?"

Upon hearing what the other side of the boundary, which is now Uzumaki Otohime, said, Mirai paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?!"

Uzumaki Otohime stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, then looked at Mirai in Chiaki's arms, "Chiaki! Aren't you going to do anything about your people?!"

"I...I'm sorry...I thought of something funny..."

In the future, I will try my best to control my emotions.

Otohime, this name belongs to the princess of the Dragon Palace in the sea. Generally speaking, no one on Earth would have this name.

Just like no one would name someone Momotaro or Snow White.

The characters in the story should just stay in the story; they shouldn't come out and become a laughing stock.

"Chiaki!"

Otohime's face grew even redder, the blush on her pink doll extremely noticeable. Minato and Kushina couldn't help but exchange a glance, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

It seems... this little girl is indeed a bit...

Hmmm...weak?

Or perhaps, she does have a bit of a spoiled princess vibe.

"Otohime, behave yourself."

Chiaki patted the future, which she was trying to control her emotions, and spoke softly to Otohime.

"Varied……"

Princess Otohime looked at Chiaki with utter disbelief and said, "You don't discipline your own people, but instead try to discipline me?!"

"What right do you have..."

"I am also a princess, Princess Otohime."

Qianqiu smiled slightly, "But besides being a princess, you are also my substitute."

"...Mumble..."

Otohime bit her lip, and finally could only lower her head dejectedly, "Yes, yes... my master..."

Even though she is a member of the Uzumaki clan, due to the characteristics of Beyond the Boundary, Otohime ultimately lives by the principle of Beyond the Boundary.

In other words, she must follow the rules and forms of the other side of the boundary.

After merging with Chiaki's Boundary Beyond in her soul state, Otohime will forever be a substitute for Chiaki.

Seeing that Chiaki had "disciplined" the dejected Otohime, Kushina blinked and sighed.

"It's unbelievable! I never imagined that the royal lineage would contain the soul of a princess..."

"What were the ancestors of the Uzumaki clan thinking before?"

"Perhaps they want the descendants of the Uzumaki clan to take good care of this princess."

Minato suppressed his conspiracy theories and smiled at Kushina, offering another guess.

Now that things have turned out this way, he doesn't need to say anything that might arouse suspicion between them.

At least Qianqiu seemed quite confident.

"maybe."

Chiaki glanced at Minato, then at Otohime who was standing there in a daze, and smiled slightly. "Alright, this mission has been perfectly completed. Shall we go back to Konoha?"

"Eh--?!"

Kushina drawled out her dissatisfaction, "I haven't had enough fun yet! Why are we going back to Konoha already?"

"Hey, Chiaki, let's play a little longer, okay?"

"There are still many places in the Land of Whirlpools that I haven't taken you to see yet!"

Minato chuckled and playfully flicked Kushina's nose. "Kushina, we're not really on a honeymoon. The mission is to help Chiaki find his inheritance."

"Now that the legacy has been found, it's time to go back."

He glanced at Princess Otohime. This princess was the core heir of the entire Land of Whirlpools. She possessed a royal aura that could frighten Kushina into kneeling, which demonstrated her incomparably noble status.

Thinking about it more complicatedly, the fact that Chiaki brought the former princess of the Land of Whirlpools back to Konoha suggests that Konoha might also be able to learn and master the Land of Whirlpools' heritage.

Thinking of this, Minato's mood became somewhat excited.

The destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was a loss to the entire ninja world. If those incredible secret techniques from the Land of Whirlpools could be left in Konoha and mastered by the ninjas of Konoha, wouldn't Konoha's strength be able to achieve a qualitative leap?

Even though Minato understood that this line of thinking was somewhat hasty, since secret techniques are secret techniques and it's unlikely that they would be passed on to outsiders.

However, with Qianqiu's help, this matter is not entirely off-limits for discussion.

Since the Land of Whirlpools has already disappeared, these secret techniques and inheritances belong to Chiaki. As long as she agrees, Konoha can obtain them, right?

It's true that Otohime is the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, but Chiaki is also the princess of Konoha!

For the sake of Konoha's strength, there's a good chance that Chiaki will use a secret technique.

"Hey—no, no—"

"They want to keep playing!"

When Kushina heard her husband say that, she immediately pouted and started to act coquettishly.

"Kushina..."

Minato looked at Kushina helplessly. His heart was filled with thoughts of his country and his desire for Konoha to become strong. He wished he could fly back to Konoha immediately.

But Kushina looks like this...

We have no choice but to spoil them.

He could only sigh and look at Qianqiu.

"A thousand autumns..."

Minato had just opened his mouth when Chiaki interrupted him abruptly.

"Otohime also wants to see the Land of Whirlpools, so let's stay for two more days."

"Great!"

Kushina jumped up and pounced on Chiaki, kissing her on the cheek. "Chiaki is the best!"
