I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Otherwise, I might as well let her join the Land of Hot Springs and serve Kawasawa Reiko like I do, to avoid causing any more trouble.

"...That's fine too."

The future remained silent for a long time, finally turning all its emotions into a deep sigh.

The reasons why she left the ninja world and why she returned are unknown.

But that's fine too. Maybe the Blood Pool Clan did these things with some bad intentions back then. Since they're all dead, let them just vanish into thin air.

"Miss Reiko, please take good care of them for me."

In the future, she bowed deeply to Reiko Kawasawa and made a request. Reiko Kawasawa sighed, patted her shoulder and said, "What happens between you and Chiaki is what happens in our Land of Hot Springs."

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. I'll help them keep their identities hidden."

"Um... thank you!"

With a sob in her voice, Mirai threw herself into Chiaki's arms, "Let's go back, I'm tired..."

"Okay, let's go back."

Chiaki gently embraced Mirai and nodded to Kawasawa Reiko, saying, "Thank you. Call me next time you need anything."

"What are you saying, Goddess? It should be that you can call us whenever you need us."

Reiko Kawasawa teased Chiaki, then glared at Hoshino Miyagi.

Miyajo En hurriedly led the still-dazed Chino to bow deeply to Chiaki.

Chiaki's gaze lingered on Miyajo En and Chino for a moment before disappearing from the spot with Mirai.

……

The land of rain.

"What a lousy place! It's not even a godforsaken place, and it's raining all the time!"

Kakashi cursed as he strolled through the streets of the Land of Rain, disguised as someone else.

"Could there be any organization in a place like this that could pose a threat to Konoha?"

He glanced around discreetly and instinctively chose a tavern to go inside.

Information brokers often like to linger in taverns, perhaps as part of some tradition.

Kakashi sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the tavern.

Why are there two voices that sound so familiar in this tavern?

"Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect you to come to the Land of Rain, Minato! I'm so pleased!"

A middle-aged man with long white hair laughed heartily and slapped the tavern table, "Someone, someone, bring me drinks!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, please don't be so loud..."

Opposite Jiraiya stood Minato, who had already donned the distinctive attire of the Land of Rain.

Minato, however, adapted to local customs and, like the ninjas of the Land of Rain, began wearing breathing apparatus.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, was much more unrestrained, not changing his attire or appearance at all, looking like a wandering ninja.

"It's okay!"

"I've already altered my aura with chakra; none of them will be able to detect me."

Jiraiya said with satisfaction, "As expected of Orochimaru, this technique is really useful. I can even enter the women's bathhouse..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Minato interrupted Jiraiya abruptly, saying resentfully, "Teacher, you're alright now, but I'm not."

"That's because you're not good enough!"

Jiraiya slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "You're already a Kage, what's wrong with your control over your aura and chakra all these years? Why is it worse than before!"

"Is it because Kushina was putting too much pressure on you? Did she make you forget about training?"

"...Hush! Hush!"

Minato nervously glanced around, while Kakashi quickly lowered his body and swallowed hard.

Be nice.

I'm so lucky!

Did I just randomly walk into a tavern and run into these two masters?

It's absurd to say, but Minato and Jiraiya, two Super Kage, were sitting in a tavern drinking like that, which is hard to believe.

Chiaki-neechan's idea is to prevent Minato and Jiraiya from discovering that she is here to investigate, and to find Uchiha Itachi first.

This is a difficult thing.

"The Shadow-level Concealment Technique is actually about using natural energy to achieve semi-invisibility. With your talent, you should be able to learn it quickly."

"I've been teaching you for a whole minute and you still haven't gotten it!"

Jiraiya's voice suddenly approached Kakashi, who, with his head down, was shocked to realize that Minato's voice was also getting closer.

"Teacher, I only recently reached the Kage level, and this surge in chakra is really hard to control."

"And it's only been a minute..."

Minato complained to Jiraiya, who angrily retorted, "You've been so greedy for beautiful women that you've forgotten about training!"

"They had another daughter! I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"

"Come on! Fight me in a real match, and I'll help you master chakra!"

"No... you're not going to drink your wine?"

Minato felt wronged. What kind of situation was this? If someone could learn a Kage-level concealment technique in just one minute, then his talent was truly outrageous.

"I'm not drinking anymore! Let's go!"

Jiraiya flung his hand, grabbed Minato, and walked out of the tavern, leaving behind a casual remark.

"Kakashi, go pay the bill, and come over later to be our referee."

Kakashi, who had been relieved that Jiraiya and Minato had left, froze on the spot after hearing Jiraiya's words.

"Have you already spotted me?!"

"You can't even use the Concealing Breath Technique, what are you doing hiding in front of Super Shadow? Hurry up and pay the bill and get over here!"

Chapter 739 Setting Off for Konoha

The country of soup.

The dimly lit room was filled with a decadent atmosphere, and the bodies of the two girls were intertwined, both covered in sweat.

Mirai held Chiaki tightly, wiping away what appeared to be tears or sweat, and said deeply, "In this ninja world, I still only have you, Chiaki."

"I am the same, in the future."

Chiaki gently patted the future, "Don't be afraid, we will always be together."

"we have a deal."

"Ok!"

The bad mood almost disappeared with sweating, and I rediscovered myself in the future, returning to my carefree self.

"Then what do we do next?"

In the future, she asked Chiaki, "When can I finally rest properly without worrying?"

"The rest...it should be a long time, right?"

Qianqiu was calculating the timeline of the original work.

The appearance of Kakuzu and Hidan signifies that Shippuden has officially entered the high-end combat phase.

The emergence of the Akatsuki organization almost directly destroyed the entire combat power system of Naruto.

However, it's not a big problem. There are still several more battles against the Akatsuki. After they've captured most of the Tailed Beasts, Pain will begin his plan to capture the Nine-Tails and destroy Konoha.

Then came the Five Kage Summit and the Fourth Shinobi World War...

Damn it?

So fast?

Qianqiu realized something was wrong after taking a closer look.

Isn't this already fast enough?

After Pain destroyed Konoha, there was the Five Kage Summit and the Fourth Shinobi World War. It seemed like there wasn't enough time.

Come to think of it, the plot of Shippuden took a sharp turn for the worse, and not much time had passed.

The original work mainly inserts a lot of plot, such as Sasuke's brotherly love-hate relationship with Itachi, flashbacks, and small details like Naruto mastering power.

But in reality, there's only so much time.

Chiaki suddenly tensed up. Fortunately, he had already achieved the level of Super Kage before, and he still had powerful forces like Jiraiya and Orochimaru at his disposal, so he wouldn't panic if he encountered a problem.

Otherwise, if she hadn't realized it, it would have been too difficult for her to become a Kage within a year like Naruto and Sasuke, and then, with the help of the Sage of Six Paths, achieve "Six Paths level" or "World Rule level" combat power to save the world.

She's not one of those two blatant cheaters.

In reality, Naruto and Sasuke became two Super Kage after the power-ups given to them by the Sage of Six Paths expired.

Furthermore, as time progressed and the power levels in the story were reduced, by the time of Boruto, their power level was only at the peak of the Kage level.

Only when Naruto is in his Heavy Particle Mode can he reach the Kage level with the help of Kurama; otherwise, he basically can't.

As it turns out, cheat codes given from outside are likely to result in account bans by the world's authorities; it's always safest to rely on your own hard-earned strength.

"Oh, right, speaking of which..."

"How are things going with Jiraiya and Minato?"

Chiaki thought of the two "intelligence agents" who had gone to the Land of Rain. If he could get information from them, he would be able to make a rough prediction about the Akatsuki organization's situation.
