I am the most popular character in Naruto!

A pink humanoid figure floated beside the pink-haired girl, raising its hand high, and layer upon layer of sealing techniques were released, providing protection for the ninjas.

The ninjas, who had lost all hope, sprang into action upon seeing Chiaki and quickly gathered around him.

Everyone was well aware of Qianqiu's identity and abilities. For them, holding onto Qianqiu meant holding onto the hope of survival.

Chiaki didn't say much. She just repeatedly channeled her chakra, adding a layer of life-sharing to every ninja who approached her, linking them together.

Each ninja gathered around Chiaki was surrounded by a layer of pink chakra light. They could feel that their lives were connected and that they had formed a closer bond.

"Where the leaves dance, the will of fire burns!"

Qianqiu murmured to herself, already aware of the vigorous vitality within herself as the starting point of the link.

A single leaf may seem insignificant, but it can ignite a tiny flame.

But what about a hundred pieces?

What about a thousand pieces?

Countless leaves piled up one on top of another, interacting and influencing each other, can generate huge flames and bring enormous energy!

This is the Will of Fire!

The will passed down from Hashirama Senju to the present day!

"Now it's up to you..."

After applying the Life Sharing buff to almost all the ninjas he could reach, Chiaki took a deep breath and looked out at Minato Namikaze, who was frantically forming hand seals on the Hokage Rock.

Thanks to the full support of the future, Chiaki was able to arrive at lightning speed using the Shunpo technique inherited from Sakumo Hatake.

Although Mirai collapsed halfway through due to exhaustion of chakra and stamina, Chiaki eventually arrived at the battlefield.

Minato Namikaze was much faster than Chiaki, but he also organized a group of people to evacuate along the way and met up with Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he was a little late.

Unfortunately, he didn't place any kunai on the Hokage Rock, so he lacked the necessary coordinates.

The closest location to the Hokage Rock is the Hokage's office, so he will inevitably come into contact with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After moving around a few times, Minato, standing on the Hokage Rock, quietly left behind a kunai, looked up at Kurama who was accumulating a Tailed Beast Ball, and then looked down to exchange a glance with Chiaki in the distance.

"...It seems I'm still a step too late, even slower than Qianqiu."

Minato shook his head with a wry smile, and with a serious look in his eyes, he took out a specially made kunai from his pocket and placed it in front of him.

He used the tiger's mouth to hold the specially made kunai, and began to form hand seals.

To be honest, Minato learned this hand seal through the sealing techniques passed down from the Land of Whirlpools. Without the Reaper Death Seal as a foundation, he probably wouldn't have been able to learn this hand seal method.

"coming!"

"Otohime, prepare your defenses!"

Chiaki narrowed her eyes, and Otohime suddenly floated in front of her, put her hands on her hips, and said with a light snort, "It's just a Tailed Beast Ball, it's not like I haven't received one before!"

"...And what happened next?"

"Dead."

Otohime said matter-of-factly, and Chiaki twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a polite smile, "Well, you're really awesome."

"That's~"

Despite the terrified looks of the ninjas, Chiaki and Otohime were still joking around.

The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball had been fully formed and was suddenly launched towards the Hokage Rock.

The scorching Tailed Beast Ball destroyed everything in its path with overwhelming force, carving a deep trench into the ground.

A storm and a surge of heat washed over all the ninjas, who stared wide-eyed as the Tailed Beast Ball swept toward them, many screaming in terror.

"Everyone, cover your heads and curl up! Protect yourselves!"

Seeing the Tailed Beast Ball closing in, Chiaki shouted at the ninjas and slammed his hands on the ground.

"How heavy! Water formation wall!"

Hula la

The massive water curtains, resembling inverted bowls, directly enveloped all the ninjas who were already lying on the ground.

Of course, if the Water Barrier could block the Tailed Beast Ball, then Chiaki and Minato wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths.

In just a moment, the multiple water array walls set up by Chiaki were torn apart, exposing a large number of ninjas to the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Ahhh-"

"Gonna die! Gonna die!"

The ninjas screamed in terror. They could feel their bodies being overwhelmed by the Tailed Beast Balls. Even though the Tailed Beast Balls didn't hit them directly, the aura and pressure emanating from them were enough to easily shatter everything around them.

Originally, all the ninjas in the path of the Tailed Beast Ball were supposed to die; even if they tried to hide, they couldn't escape the attack of the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, under Chiaki's protection, these wailing ninjas discovered that their bodies remained healthy.

Even though damage continues to occur, they can sense through the pink chakra threads that the surrounding ninjas are sharing and distributing the damage equally. At the ends of these pink chakra threads, a large amount of chakra carrying life force is transmitted, repairing their bodies one by one.

"Goddess of Life..."

"She truly is the goddess of life!"

"Long live the little princess!"

The ninjas who received treatment were deeply moved and shouted Chiaki's name loudly.

"Everyone, stay still and don't move!"

However, Chiaki only glared sternly at these excited ninjas, "Your lives are connected to everyone else's. Protecting yourselves is protecting everyone else!"

"One person's life force can be passed on to another person, and another person's life force can be passed on to the next person."

"Passed down from generation to generation, one person connecting to another, this great network that is the symbol of all your lives!"

"As long as we protect this great network, we can thrive forever!"

"The Leaf Village will thrive forever!"

As Chiaki shouted loudly, her body began to crack and develop wounds as the Tailed Beast Ball drew closer, causing blood to gush out.

Even with Chiaki's body, it would be impossible for him to withstand a Tailed Beast Ball head-on. Protecting so many lives would be extremely difficult for Chiaki.

"well said!"

"Link me too!"

At this moment, an old figure appeared behind Qianqiu and put his hand on Qianqiu's shoulder.

Qianqiu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously connected with the old man behind him.

In an instant, a tremendous surge of vitality flowed into his body.

Chapter 516 Passing the Ball

Qianqiu did not sense the danger behind her; instead, she sensed a strong sense of goodwill.

She subconsciously connected the chakra threads to the person behind her, and immediately, a massive surge of life force rushed into her body.

"Hmm—~"

Chiaki tilted her head back and couldn't help but let out a soft moan, which immediately made the ninjas who heard it blush.

Being a ninja is an open profession, so they naturally know a lot.

We're all adults, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

With her unparalleled beauty, capable of captivating a nation, countless people naturally harbored fantasies about her.

Well.

Even though she's called a goddess, people still fantasize about her in private.

If Chiaki were truly as beautiful as a goddess, inviolable, that would be one thing. But Chiaki was born with a pair of charming, expressive peach blossom eyes, coupled with her inherent allure, making it difficult for the general public not to fantasize about her.

The most outrageous thing is that Chiaki made no attempt to hide the fact that she liked the future.

For the ninjas and ordinary people of this world, the union of men and women is the normal and orthodox concept. Chiaki's "flaw" of liking girls naturally weakens her deification to some extent.

It's only when we have flaws and are no longer perfect that we feel like a person.

In any case, it's fortunate that the scene wasn't right, otherwise, with Qianqiu's extremely seductive moan, there would probably be "rivers of blood" and "corpses strewn across the ground" at her feet.

Of course, there's no guarantee that after today, there will still be many ninjas obsessed with Chiaki abusing their younger brothers, beating them until they foam at the mouth. Those who know, know.

"Cough cough cough..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also heard Chiaki's soft chanting. This veteran general, who had been through many battles, was so flustered by Chiaki's voice that he blushed and coughed.

Qianqiu quickly snapped out of her daze, realizing what embarrassing thing she had just done, and her face also turned red.

However, the situation is urgent, and there is no time to think about anything else. The Tailed Beast Ball is still approaching and destroying his life.

"Thank you, Third Hokage!"

Chiaki quickly thanked him. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was old, he was, after all, a ninja hero. As a former peak, his vitality was naturally still vigorous to a certain extent.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi sharing the burden, Chiaki's wounds became fewer, and the ninjas lying below felt a warm sensation emanating from their bodies.

They all looked up at Chiaki, who stood there alone. She was the goddess who controlled life, and she was worthy of their respect!

With Chiaki's coordination and distribution, almost all the ninjas who might have been exposed beneath the Tailed Beast Ball felt the surging life force.

Even though their life force was still declining due to the Tailed Beast Ball's attack, they were quite confident that as long as the Tailed Beast Ball didn't explode above their heads, they would be fine thanks to Chiaki's method!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his life force dwindling, collapsed to the ground, wryly trying to regain his strength.

He gazed with emotion at Chiaki, whose long hair was flying wildly in the storm and turbulent air. The excessive loss of life force and the constant replenishment of life force made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel the changes in his body, as well as the life force that did not belong to him, but came from all the Konoha ninjas.

"Perhaps... this is what the Will of Fire looks like after it has been materialized..."

Tears welled up in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. He could feel the life force of everyone, just as everyone felt their own life force.

He closed his eyes and, through his chakra perception, sketched out a grand blueprint in his mind.

The largest pink ball of light in the very center is naturally Qianqiu.

The blue light cluster next to the pink one is yourself.
