Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"By the way, Kurotsuchi, I remember your opponent in the third exam was Hinata, right?"

To avoid drawing everyone's attention back to Hongdou, Baiyun Qingye decisively changed the subject.

"Huh?"

Kurotsuchi, who was initially a little embarrassed, paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it's Hinata."

"Then you'd better perform well then, otherwise you might not be able to become a Chunin."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

Kurotsuchi immediately became somewhat unconvinced, "Are you saying that I'm no match for Hinata?"

Let's not even mention his previous losses to Shirakumo Aoba and Yakumo.

Now they're even saying she's not as good as Hinata, who's soft, cute, and looks easy to bully.

Is this a disrespectful attitude towards her?

Shirokumo Aoba realized that the other party might have misunderstood, so she explained, "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that you might be misled by Hinata's usual appearance. Hinata is very strong."

Kurotsuchi frowned. "So, between her and Yakumo, who's stronger?"

"Well..."

Baiyun Qingye thought for a while. The two had never fought each other directly. "I don't know either. They are not the same type of ninja."

"Humph!"

Kurotsuchi crossed her arms and said, "As long as it's not as troublesome as Yakumo's illusion, I won't lose."

Then came things like "a disciple of the Tsuchikage" and "for the glory of Iwagakure".

This caused everyone to burst into laughter, filling the venue with a joyful atmosphere.

They completely forgot about what Kurotsuchi had said about Iwagakure also wanting to form a marriage alliance.

Then many more people came over to offer their blessings.

Baiyun Yeshan also came over to say hello, and then left early; he wasn't a person who liked crowds.

The people at the scene were all too enthusiastic, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The banquet ended not long afterward.

"Teacher, you're not drunk?"

As they walked out of the Hokage Building, Shirokumo Aoba was very surprised to see Tsunade, who was only slightly tipsy.

"You brat! What kind of talk is that?"

Tsunade was very dissatisfied with his tone and couldn't help but pinch his face.

"If I hadn't been watching, Lady Tsunade would have been drunk long ago."

Silent, standing to the side, delivered the finishing blow.

"Mute!"

Tsunade pinched Shizune's face again. These two disciples were more infuriating than the other.

Everyone else watched this scene with smiles, thinking that the Hokage and her disciples had a really good relationship.

None of them intended to linger outside.

The whole family walked together toward the ancestral home of the Thousand Hands family.

The place, which used to be deserted, has now become a bit more lively.

It might get even more lively in the future.

"Kid, remember to come to the Hokage Building tomorrow!"

Before going home, Tsunade didn't forget to remind Shirakumo Aoba of something.

"understood……"

Baiyun Qingye responded helplessly.

"Aoba, Lady Tsunade really values ​​you."

Maoyue Xiyan couldn't help but joked.

I'd rather not have it.

Bai Yun Qingye rolled her eyes and chose not to go inside. "Sister Xiyan, I have to go out for a bit."

"Going out so late?"

All three of them were somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I'll be back soon."

"Wait a moment……"

Before they could even ask where they were going, Baiyun Qingye's figure had already disappeared.

……

Outside the Thousand Hands Ancestral House, a figure dressed in a black robe was silently walking outwards.

Bai Yun Qingye suddenly appeared in front of her.

The man was clearly taken aback for a moment, then gave a soft snort and planned to walk around Bai Yunqingye and leave.

But Bai Yunqingye reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The man shook himself vigorously, but when he saw that it had no effect, he gave up struggling.

"Is there a problem?"

"Sister Konan, I thought you had secretly left Konoha."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

This person was Xiao Nan, but her expression was somewhat cold, just like when Bai Yun Qing Ye first met her.

"You really want me to leave?"

Although her expression was cold, her tone was sharp and resentful, as if she were throwing a tantrum.

Are you angry?

Why would I be angry?

"You were already at the Hokage Building, why didn't you go in?"

Whether I go in or not is none of your business, right?

Upon hearing the other person's words, Baiyun Qingye did not reply, but simply gazed at Xiaonan quietly.

Seeing the other person remain silent, Xiao Nan thought that her words had been too harsh. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

The two of them stared at each other for quite a while.

After a long while, Xiao Nan, being the more shy one, was the first to look away, biting her pink lips.

"Tomorrow... I will leave Konoha."

Chapter 295 Xiao Nan's Furious Outburst

"Tomorrow... I will leave Konoha."

After saying that, Xiao Nan kept quietly observing Bai Yun Qingye's expression.

It turned out that apart from being stunned for a moment when they first heard it, their expression quickly returned to normal.

This guy, he made all those promises before, it was all a lie, wasn't it?

Xiao Nan's mood worsened.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Her voice turned cold.

Baiyun Qingye looked into Xiaonan's eyes and asked, "Then, if I tell you, can you stay?"

"..."

Xiao Nan also fell silent.

Neither of them spoke again.

After a brief silence, Xiao Nan couldn't help but speak.

"If you don't say something, I'm leaving!"

Bai Yun Qingye shifted her gaze elsewhere and said softly, "Sister Xiao Nan, did you really come here tonight just to say goodbye?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Nan made a puzzled sound, not understanding the meaning behind the other person's words.

Baiyun Qingye said directly, "Your purpose in coming to Konoha is for the Tailed Beasts, right?"

"What...what are you saying? I don't understand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's expression froze for a moment.

Now that Xiao Nan had chosen to leave, Bai Yun Qing Ye no longer tried to hide anything.

"Sister Xiaonan, if I'm not mistaken, your goal is to gather all nine tailed beasts, create the ultimate weapon, and achieve peace through coercion, right?"

"Why would you..."

How did Aoba know about Nagato's plan?

Xiao Nan stared wide-eyed, even forgetting to think.

Baiyun Qingye released Xiaonan's hand, instantly bringing her back to her senses.

The once aloof girl suddenly became somewhat flustered.

Baiyun Qingye also walked to a spot not far from Xiaonan.
