I am the most popular character in Naruto!

In fact, she did just that.

"Alas……"

Shizune was startled when Chiaki suddenly hugged her, but then she remembered that Chiaki had just hugged Tsunade and had Tsunade's scent on him, so she softened and let Chiaki hug her.

"Hehe, you're so cute."

Chiaki rubbed Shizune's head, feeling an immense fondness for this little follower who had always been behind Tsunade in the original story.

While everyone's attention was almost entirely drawn to Tsunade, few people knew just how imposing the girl following behind her was.

Wow, that face, those legs, that curvy figure...

"Thank you... thank you..."

Shizune blushed and asked Chiaki in a low voice, "Are you and Lady Tsunade very close?"

"Of course, we all sleep together, in the same bed!"

Chiaki winked at Shizune, whose face turned even redder. Shizune stammered, "Same...same...same...same bed?!"

"This kid is precocious."

Tsunade smirked, looking at Kato Dan with interest. "Very well, I'll take her under my wing."

"I love this kind of little girl the most; she can be molded into any shape I want!"

Kato Dan chuckled. He already knew Tsunade's personality well and didn't care about such strange words.

"Sister, that's enough."

Qianqiu rolled her eyes. "Don't scare the little girl."

"?"

Shizune was still just a child and didn't understand Tsunade's words at all, but she did feel a little scared.

"By the way, Chiaki, weren't you going to the Land of Rain with Jiraiya-sama?"

Kato looked around in confusion but didn't see Jiraiya.

"Shh! Sh-!"

Chiaki quickly gave Kato Dan a look, signaling him to shut up and not mention Jiraiya's name.

Unfortunately, Kato Dan didn't react in time. He asked Tsunade, "Tsunade, isn't Jiraiya-sama here?"

"It's over..."

Chiaki covered Shizune's eyes to prevent her from seeing what was about to happen, so as not to ruin her beautiful fantasy about Tsunade.

"Kato... broken..."

Tsunade's face darkened. She placed a hand on Kato Dan's shoulder and said with a forced smile, "Don't mention that idiot's name to me..."

"Eh eh eh?"

Kato Dan felt Tsunade's hand gripping his shoulder tighten, tighten, and tighten again, and a sharp pain shot through him.

"Ouch! It's going to break! It's going to break!"

"Tsunade, let go... let go..."

"Since your name is Kato Dan anyway, why not just break it off?"

Tsunade immediately entered her dark state, and with a "crack," Kato Dan's shoulder was crushed and thrown next to Chiaki like trash.

"Ugh, I told you not to talk..."

Chiaki placed one hand on Kato Dan's shoulder and began to treat him.

"What happened...?"

Kato Dan had a pained look on his face, and Chiaki looked at him with pity. "Do you really want to know? It might make your injury even more serious, you know?"

"???"

Kato was completely confused. "Can I not listen?"

"No, I want to say something."

Chiaki grinned mischievously, as if wanting to spoil the plot, and said to Kato Dan, "Last night, Tsunade got drunk and pushed Jiraiya onto the bed. They were almost at the very end when Jiraiya chickened out and ran away, leaving Tsunade alone on the bed..."

Chiaki whispered, while Kato Dan felt he had never suffered such a serious injury before.

"Humph! Let's go!"

Just then, Tsunade, who was throwing a tantrum, suddenly ran over, threw down the words "Chi, keep up the good work with your training!", and then, with a slightly flushed face, grabbed Kato Dan and Shizune and ran off.

Qianqiu looked back with a hint of doubt, then smiled knowingly.

Jiraiya is cautiously peeking over here.

Chapter 105 What's Our Relationship?

"Disgraceful teacher."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"You're really bad, I look down on you."

"Stop yelling, stop yelling..."

Chiaki, while complaining about Jiraiya, quickly moved towards Amegakure.

Jiraiya followed behind Chiaki dejectedly. He didn't know what was wrong with him; he had such a good opportunity last night, but he hadn't seized it.

Even though Tsunade was so drunk, she even took the initiative and pushed Jiraiya onto the bed.

The results of it?

They'd already kissed, driven on the highway, and gripped the steering wheel; all that was left was to press the accelerator one last time...

As a result, Jiraiya chickened out!

Tsunade was drunk, but Jiraiya wasn't!

Jiraiya didn't drink at all last night, so he couldn't perform at his usual level and ended up crashing and burning.

When Chiaki returned home, Jiraiya was just about to flee, his face flushed.

Tsunade lay drunk on the bed, and with Chiaki's help, she remembered some things, and then she entered this state.

Whenever Jiraiya is mentioned, she first gets annoyed, then irritable, and finally blushes.

Good guy.

This woman is so alluring, Qianqiu admits he can't compare.

Perhaps this is what they call "gap moe" (a cute or unexpected charm)?

The two maintained this state for most of the journey. Chiaki was frustrated by his lack of ambition and angered by his incompetence, while Jiraiya felt sorry for himself and was filled with regret.

Fortunately, they don't know how many years they won't see each other again. At least this awkwardness can be gradually resolved over time. Maybe in the end, with the beautifying effect of time, Tsunade will think that Jiraiya did the right thing?

The rapid movement along the way greatly honed Chiaki's stamina and speed. Although she hadn't yet had the chance to learn movement techniques from Hatake Sakumo, her movement speed was already comparable to that of an ordinary Chunin.

In fact, Qianqiu's biggest gain from this period of travel was learning the breathing techniques for long-distance runs.

Because the journey to and from the Land of Rain is so frequent, with each trip lasting one to two months, adjusting one's breathing while moving becomes extremely important.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya himself did not master any advanced breathing techniques. He only taught Chiaki the most basic breathing techniques. Otherwise, Chiaki might have been able to learn things like Water Breathing, Water Melody, and Ripple Dash.

Time flies, and a month later, Chiaki and Jiraiya arrived at Konoha's headquarters in the northern part of Amegakure and met up with Orochimaru.

"came back?"

Orochimaru sat in his tent flipping through a book, while Chiaki and Jiraiya, looking travel-worn, sat in their tents and let out a long sigh.

"Wow, you have no idea how much I've been running all this way."

Jiraiya remarked with a sigh, "That girl Chiaki trains like she's risking her life. She always runs until she's completely exhausted before she stops."

"If your vitality becomes excessive, you will end up like her."

Orochimaru spoke calmly and matter-of-factly.

Throughout the journey, Chiaki was constantly on the move, so he had no time to waste his chakra and life force, naturally focusing all his energy on traveling.

Tired and sleepy?

Vitality is directly on top!

It's just a long-distance run, nothing difficult, all you need are legs.

"Aunt Snake".

Chiaki greeted Orochimaru, staring intently at him. Orochimaru put down his book and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, you're starting to look like a proper ninja now, not like a little girl."

Being able to endure loneliness, being calm and powerful, and having a gleam in one's eyes—these are the qualities an excellent ninja should possess.

The previous version of Qianqiu was not at all consistent.

"Aunt Snake, I miss you!"

Chiaki's calm and composed demeanor was shattered in an instant. For about a month, he spent traveling and communicating with Jiraiya. Anyone would become taciturn after that.

Even if Jiraiya is incredibly charming, people eventually get tired. If you keep facing the same person, no matter how good-looking they are, you'll eventually get tired of them. No matter how much you talk, you'll eventually run out of things to say.

flutter

Chiaki recklessly threw herself at Orochimaru and snuggled against him.

"Oh, you."

Orochimaru lovingly put down the book in his hand, reached out and hugged Chiaki, and rubbed her head.

For Orochimaru, the passage of several months was completely imperceptible; scientific research knows no time, and this is no exception.

"...Waaaa...Chiaki, you've never been this affectionate with me before..."

Jiraiya said enviously, noting that the closest thing he and Chiaki did was carry each other on their backs and hug each other.

Most of the contact occurred when Chiaki was exhausted and Jiraiya was carrying her.

However, this contact is not intimate at all; it is only done out of necessity.
