In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 71 The Wife is Injured

What is happiness?

Happiness is when you're hungry and I happen to have a piece of bread, then I'm happier than you.

If you're suffering from diarrhea and sweating profusely while searching for a toilet, only to find that I've already taken the last stall.

At this moment, I am happier than you.

If you've never been in a relationship and haven't seen a woman in your life, you'd find even a sow attractive, while in my room there's a stunningly beautiful woman—my wife—taking a bath.

Then I'm happier than you.

It is 8:03 PM now.

As soon as Qianye returned to her residence, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, indicating that someone was taking a shower.

Chiya used his Observation Haki to sense the situation and discovered that it was Mrs. Mikoto in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Izumi was in Konan's room, the two of them sleeping together, whispering among themselves like any other girls.

It's clear that during my absence, the relationship between Izumi and Minami developed rapidly, and they've grown into best friends.

At this moment, Chiya, who had once eaten meat in Tanabata Street, had two choices pop into her mind.

The choice is to watch or not to watch.

Don't misunderstand, this isn't a system-triggered task, but rather Qianye's truest thoughts.

To look at it would mean to be a beast.

But if you don't watch, you're worse than a beast.

Chiya is a pure child.

Therefore, he decided to leave it to fate—by flipping a coin.

If it's facing up, then take a look;

If it's facing up, then peek at it twice;

If it were standing upright... Holy crap, if it could strike such an awesome pose, then of course I could watch it for as long as I wanted!

Thinking of this, Qianye specially ran outside, took out a coin from the Naruto world from the system warehouse, and used the throwing technique of a shuriken to embed it into the crack in the ground.

So here's the question.

How should he view this now?

Could it be that they're using illusions or magic tricks?

No, it's too outdated to need hypnosis or illusions to even pick up girls.

It would be better to just kill him and send him to the palace.

But if we don't do it this way, then what should we do?

The bathroom was completely sealed off, leaving no room for any attempt to sneak in. If the bathroom door were opened rashly, Mrs. Mikoto would likely discover it.

While Observation Haki can detect everything happening inside, it cannot see the specific details.

Sigh. This is the tragedy of not having X-ray vision. I should have tried to get a pair of Byakugan from the Hyuga clan back then.

Just as Chiya was agonizing over this, perhaps because he had made a noise by opening the door, Mikoto, who was in the bathroom, vaguely sensed someone in the living room and tentatively asked, "Who's outside? Izumi, is that you?"

Qianye was taken aback. Had he been discovered so easily?

We, Qian, haven't even had a chance to start spying yet!

I should have known better than tossed a coin.

Before entering the door next time.

Use Observation Haki to investigate in advance.

Then, very carefully, without making a sound.

Unfortunately, the matter was already settled, and with no other choice, Qianye could only reply with a hint of regret, "It's me, Madam."

"Ah, Chiya!" Mikoto was clearly not expected that Chiya would return at this time, especially while she was taking a bath, and was immediately startled.

With a thud, Mikoto collapsed to the ground, accompanied by a gasp of surprise, "Ah!"

Mikoto lay on the floor, and Chiyo sensed her movements with her Observation Haki. Soft cries of pain came from inside the bathroom. She tried several times to get up, but each time she gave up amidst the pain.

It seems impossible for her to get up on her own. Chiya knows that Izumi is in Konan's room, and there is a perception barrier set up 30 meters away from Konan's room.

If I were to go to Konan's room and knock on the door in the middle of the night, I'm afraid I would be greeted by her paper shuriken mixed with explosive tags.

Although he had a thousand ways to avoid it, he still went to disturb people's rest in the middle of the night.

It's not good overall.

To help or not to help? That is the question.

An elder once told us, "To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death."

Another elder once said, "Do not refrain from doing evil just because it is insignificant."

An older generation member once said that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will catch a cold if she lies on the ground for too long.

And seriously, Mrs. Mikoto fell because of me. If I hadn't saved her, I would have been a beast.

Chiya hesitated for a moment, then bravely knocked on the bathroom door. "Madam, what's wrong? Did you fall?"

"Chiyo...don't...don't come in. I'm not dressed yet. Can you go and call Izumi over? She's in Konan's room." Mikoto, her cheeks flushed, tried to stand up but failed.

"Xiao Nan's room is forbidden territory for men. She is the leader's sister. If I were to approach her rashly, I'm afraid the leader of this organization would not let me off the hook." Qianye used a tactic of feigning indifference to lure her in.

"What should we do then?" Mikoto was a little troubled after hearing this. She couldn't very well let Chiya in.

"Don't panic, I'll come in and save you right away. Don't worry, I'll close my eyes and won't peek." As she spoke, Qianye really closed her eyes, leaving only a slit between her eyelids, grabbed Mujian's door, and rotated it counterclockwise.

It can't be opened; the door is locked from the inside.

I miscalculated. Qianye patted his head.

But it doesn't matter, lock picking was a required course during the Konoha Anbu era.

He randomly took a senbon from the system warehouse, inserted the sharp end of the senbon into the door, and with a "bang," the door opened.

"ah"

However, in the next instant, Chiya's eyes widened instantly, forgetting to even close them, as she stared at Mikoto, who was sitting on the bathroom floor in pain, and screamed, "Why are you dressed? Ugh, are you alright? Where are you hurt?"

Qianye clearly heard that she had just fallen not long ago, and there was running water in the bathroom, but now she was wearing a black gauze nightgown.

Does she wear clothes when she takes a shower?

This is not a good habit.

"I dropped the soap on the floor and accidentally stepped on it, hurting my knee," Mikoto said shyly, lowering her head. Her cheeks flushed red, and even her neck quickly turned pink.

"Are you alright, Madam? Let me see." Now that Mikoto was dressed, Chiya no longer needed to close his eyes. He knelt down, lifted Mikoto's leg, and saw that her knee was scraped and had deep purple bruises. He asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

"A little, but it should be nothing serious." Mikoto was also a ninja before, and she had suffered even more serious injuries. It was just unfortunate that the location of her injury this time prevented her from standing up.

"Can you move around?" Chiya continued to ask.

P.S.: First update. Requesting recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Chapter 36, "Qianye's Revenge, Extermination of the Clan," has been reset.
