Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

But the situation was overwhelming; he was now living under someone else's roof and had no choice.

However, even if the Breath of Lightning were taught to Konoha, Konoha's Lightning Release ninjas could only learn its form, but not its essence.

Although the Lightning Breathing Full Sword Form is currently used in conjunction with chakra, it still needs to be used in conjunction with breathing techniques.

The power will be greatly weakened if used without proper breathing.

Through this formal meeting with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Chiba finally saw Hiruzen Sarutobi for who he truly was.

It is also about prioritizing strength and interests.

If you have the power or the benefits, anything is negotiable.

If you have nothing, Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely not take you seriously.

Charity, kindness, and tolerance are all just an act.

Qianyu took a deep breath.

After relinquishing the Breath of Lightning, the days ahead shouldn't be too difficult.

The others will probably find out soon that Hiruzen Sarutobi personally visited him at the ninja hospital.

With this signal, those idiots in Konoha should be able to openly curse Hiruzen Sarutobi much less in the future, out of respect for him.

Next, he also needs to become a genius so that he can gradually increase his influence in Konoha and better help him and Kushina Uzumaki avoid being coerced by Konoha in the future.

Although she had woken up, Chiyu was still too tired, so she lay down for a while and then fell asleep again.

The next day.

After Qianyu woke up, her body was still sore, but she was able to walk with difficulty.

So Chiba left the ninja hospital and wanted to go back to his dilapidated hut to rest, pack his luggage, and wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi to prepare a house for him to move into.

Just after Chiyu left the ninja hospital, a ninja suddenly appeared in front of her.

"follow me."

Chiba followed the ninja and stopped in front of a house a street away from the ninja academy.

"This is the house that the Hokage prepared for you. He instructed you to go to the Hokage Building to see him as soon as you recover from your injuries."

After handing the key to Chiba, the ninja left without waiting for Chiba to speak, using the Body Flicker Technique.

Chapter 12 No, you are the best!

Qianyu held the key in his hand, looking around at his future new home. It looked old and was an apartment-style place, with only this room belonging to him.

I didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so efficient. I just talked about it last night, and he's already arranged it for me.

However, it seems that there are no other residents in this apartment building; it must have been arranged for him by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, the villagers of Konoha really hated him.

At the same time, Chiba also felt like laughing.

He said last night that there was no rush regarding ninjutsu, but now he's having a ninja remind him to go to the Hokage Building once he's recovered from his injuries.

Isn't this urgent? It's practically written all over their faces that they're in a real hurry.

Qianyu opened the door and went inside.

The interior is nicely decorated; it looks like everything is readily available.

Qianyu plopped down on the sofa, feeling quite comfortable.

Qianyu glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 9 a.m.

Chiba doesn't plan to go to the Hokage Building today; she plans to go in a few days.

Since you said he should go to the Hokage Building after his injury heals, why go so early if there's no reason to?

Chiba's mind was filled with the words that Kushina Uzumaki had said to him last night.

Chiba was already quite eager to meet Kushina Uzumaki.

However, Qianyu's body smelled quite strong from not having showered for several days. She went back to her dilapidated hut and tidied up her things, including the standard katana she had exchanged.

To be honest, this standard-issue katana is really good. Even after being tormented by Chiyu last time, it only has a few nicks.

Chiba packed all her things and took them back to her new home. After taking a shower, she set off for the Ninja Academy.

The ninja academy was on lunch break at that time.

When Chiyu arrived at the classroom, she happened to see Kushina Uzumaki clenching her fists and punching someone.

When Kushina Uzumaki saw Chiba, her expression turned to one of great surprise and delight.

"Qianyu! You're discharged from the hospital?!"

Upon hearing Qianyu's name, everyone turned to look at her.

No one knew that Chiba was hospitalized. They never imagined that Chiba had been missing for so many days and had actually been in a ninja hospital.

However, no one cared; instead, they gloated.

Kushina Uzumaki released the guy she had been pinning down and ran up to Chiba, asking, "When did you wake up?"

Qianyu smiled gently and said, "After you visited me last night..."

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes widened, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "You, weren't you unconscious? How did you know I visited you at the ninja hospital yesterday?"

Chiyu glanced around; he didn't want himself and Kushina Uzumaki to be stared at like monkeys.

Chiyu reached out and grabbed Kushina Uzumaki's small hand: "This isn't the place to talk, let's go outside."

Kushina Uzumaki's already flushed face turned even redder, her head spinning, and she was mechanically led away from the classroom by Chiba's hand.

Chiyu led Kushina Uzumaki to the grove behind the Ninja Academy. After letting go of Kushina's hand, he noticed that Kushina's face was excessively red, and her eyes were glazed over, looking like she was in a daze.

Chiba waved her hand in front of Kushina Uzumaki: "Kushina, Kushina, wake up!"

Coming to her senses, Kushina Uzumaki saw Chiba in front of her and took a step back in fright: "Y-you...you..."

Kushina Uzumaki is now struggling to even utter a complete sentence.

Qianyu chuckled and explained, "I was indeed unconscious last night, but I was fully conscious and could hear sounds."

Kushina Uzumaki lowered her head slightly, her voice so soft that Chiba could barely hear her unless she listened carefully: "I see..."

Kushina Uzumaki is currently in a state of inner turmoil.

She had clearly made up her mind to be friends with Qianyu, but at this moment she couldn't say a word.

Kushina Uzumaki was so nervous that sweat beaded on her forehead and wisps of white smoke rose from her head.

Seeing how adorable Kushina Uzumaki was, Chiba let out a breath and said seriously to her, "Kushina, I'm prepared too!"

Kushina Uzumaki looked up at Chiba with a blank expression, not understanding what Chiba meant by "resolve".

With a determined look in her eyes, Chiyu said, "I also want to be your friend, your friend for life! So... Kushina, would you like to be my friend?"

Chiba extended his hand to Kushina Uzumaki, awaiting her reply.

Kushina Uzumaki's brain has completely shut down, and her ears are ringing.

Kushina Uzumaki made no move, and Chiba remained unhurried, keeping his hand outstretched and silently waiting for Kushina's reply.

A few minutes later, Kushina Uzumaki's malfunctioning brain finally restarted. She reached out her small hand and shook hands with Chiba's, whispering, "Yes, it's a promise, we'll be friends for life."

Chiba's smile was radiant, and Kushina Uzumaki's smile was equally beautiful.

They were both very happy because they had finally made their first friend.

Qianyu vowed in his heart that he would absolutely protect that smile.

Kushina Uzumaki was initially reserved, but gradually opened up and began to talk to Chiba about her experiences over the past few days.

Those brats who caused trouble for Kushina Uzumaki were all beaten to a pulp by her.

Kushina Uzumaki gained a new nickname at the ninja academy: Blood Red Pepper.

Qianyu chuckled.

Kushina Uzumaki pouted, displeased, and said, "Chiba, do you also think I'm suitable for this nickname?"

Chiyu smiled and shook her head, saying, "Of course not, I just think Kushina, you're amazing. You managed to beat them all to a pulp by yourself."

Kushina Uzumaki, hands on her hips, said smugly, "Of course! I've never lost a fight!"

Kushina then lowered her head in disappointment.

Chiba asked in confusion, "Kushina, what's wrong?"

Kushina Uzumaki picked up a lock of hair, pouted, and asked, "Chiba, do you think my hair is ugly?"

Chiyu placed her hands on Kushina's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "Kushina, your hair is beautiful, and you are very cute. You will definitely become even more beautiful in the future, so don't doubt yourself because of what others say. You are excellent, no, you are the most excellent!"

Kushina's cheeks, which had finally recovered, turned bright red again after Chiyu's words. She punched Chiyu's chest, turned around shyly, and cupped her cheeks, saying, "I'm not as good as you say."

Qianyu's face stiffened, and she reached out to rub her chest.

To be honest, Kushina Uzumaki is incredibly strong.

Qianyu almost couldn't catch her breath after being hit.

Just then, the bell rang, signaling that afternoon classes were about to begin.

This time, it was Kushina Uzumaki who took the initiative to grab Chiba's hand and turned to give him a playful smile.

"Let's go, time for class!"

Chapter 13 This is not ninjutsu, but taijutsu.

Kushina Uzumaki led Chiba into the classroom, leaving the group of kids stunned.

Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki were holding hands, so close that it was obvious they had become friends.
