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

After all, in the past, Sunagakure Village struggled to even have enough to eat, and the ninjas were taught only how to fight and kill; normal education was simply impossible.

Even he, the Kazekage, only became qualified after being instructed by Granny Chiyo for a long time.

Although living standards have improved a lot in recent years with the help of Konoha, talent cannot be cultivated in just one or two years.

Konoha can do this because the Ninja Academy's education is very comprehensive and has a wide enough scope.

White Cloud Blue Leaf is still the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

However, to be honest, Granny Chiyo is capable of helping Gaara with his work.

However, the other party is over seventy years old, and after teaching Gaara for nearly a year, he now only wants to retire and live a leisurely life.

However, since Gaara is going to Konoha to attend the Five Kage Summit, and someone from Sunagakure also needs to be stationed at the Kazekage Building, there is a legitimate reason for Granny Chiyo to temporarily take over for two days to handle the work.

There was no other way but to make things difficult for Granny Chiyo.

After discussing the Five Kage Summit, Shirokumo Aoba saw that Gaara had no objections and had no intention of staying any longer.

After all, Gaara isn't his girlfriend. He can just tell him what happened. Rather than staying here, he might as well go back sooner.

-

When Bai Yunqingye returned home, the scene that appeared before him left him somewhat bewildered.

The people are still the same people, of course.

They were chatting happily and amicably.

No, that's not quite right. It should be said that there are many more people.

However, the extra thing should be Karin's shadow clone.

He's currently massaging Xiyan and Xiaonan's shoulders and legs.

Ok?

How could a shadow clone steal his spot?!

Ahem, now is not the time to think about that. We should first figure out what happened.

He couldn't allow any bullying or hijacking to happen in this family.

Of course, Yugao and Konan probably wouldn't bully Karin.

"Karin... what are you doing?"

"Huh?!"

The Karin girls, who were concentrating on their work, all shuddered and looked up at him at the same time.

"Ao... Brother Aoba?!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the faces of these little charcoal skunks all turned red at the same time.

"..."

Well, the scene is a bit strange.

"So, what exactly is going on?"

Chapter 749 Karin Arguing with Shadow Clone

"So, what exactly is going on?"

Being stared at by several Karin at the same time, their faces flushed, gave Shirakumo Aoba a strange feeling.

This made him even more curious about what was going on.

Although Karin usually has a rather carefree personality, it's quite rare for her to take the initiative to massage someone's legs and shoulders.

There must be some ulterior motive behind it.

And then I realized that the kids probably already knew about what happened to Ino today...

He had a guess in his mind.

"Well... it's nothing..."

Karin, of course, would never admit it. After hearing Shirakumo Aoba's question, Karin lowered her head again and stammered out a reason she had come up with on the spot.

"I...I just saw that Sister Xiyan and Sister Xiaonan work too hard and are very tired, so...so I wanted to help Sister Xiyan and the others relax a bit."

"..."

Baiyun Qingye looked curiously at Xiyan and Xiaonan and the others.

"Well, Aoba, are you really interested in knowing this?"

When Uzuki Yugao saw Shirokumo Aoba looking over, she glanced at Karin's true form, who was bowing her head, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Well..."

This made Baiyun Qingye hesitate.

Although he really wants to know now, if it's really as he guessed, then it seems better not to know.

Fortunately, Karin reacted before he answered.

"Sister Xiyan..."

Karin, who had been shyly lowering her head, suddenly rushed into Yugao Uzuki's arms and said pitifully.

"You promised me you wouldn't tell Aoba-nii!"

"Brother Qingye, don't ask anymore. Anyway... you'll find out soon enough."

Karin's true form held Shirakumo Aoba's hand and used her usual aegyo (cute/coquettish) techniques.

"..."

You've already essentially self-destructed.

Seeing Karin's expression, Shiraun Aoba also felt a bit like teasing her.

"Why do we have to wait to find out? Can't Karin tell me now?"

"Because...because...this is a surprise that someone carefully prepared for Brother Qingye. If I had told them beforehand...it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."

The blush on Karin's pretty face had already spread down her fair neck and all the way to her collar.

Although she is usually quite bold, she really wants to take her relationship with Baiyun Qingye to the next level.

But it's still quite embarrassing to say it directly like this.

"..."

"Alright, Aoba, stop teasing Karin. She's already too sensitive to your teasing."

Xiao Nan couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, but she still interrupted.

Karin usually acts like she knows everything and often makes fun of the adults, but when it really comes down to it, she's not much better than Temari and Koto.

Sure enough, a little girl is a little girl.

However, looking at Karin's appearance, Minami couldn't help but recall her own first time.

The first time is always memorable, especially such a special first time.

So even now, she still remembers it vividly.

She was wearing her pajamas at the time, and under the pretext of getting a late-night snack, she went to Aoba's room and then directly...

Although she was no longer young compared to Karin at that time, and had experienced various life-and-death separations, she still made a great decision.

As she recalled the past, a blush of cherry blossom pink appeared on Konan's face.

It wasn't obvious, so no one noticed.

"..."

After hearing Konan's words, Shirokumo Aoba smiled and stopped teasing Karin. Instead, she ruffled Karin's hair.

"Then I'll start looking forward to Karin's surprise from now on."

"Ok!"

Karin nodded happily, then snuggled into Shirakumo Aoba's arms and continued to act cute.

Seeing Karin's happy expression, the whole family sitting in the living room all showed meaningful smiles to varying degrees.

Kaho Uzumaki looked at her daughter, who had made up her mind, her expression a mixture of relief and complicated emotions.

I felt happy for Karin, but also inexplicably saddened.

After all these years, Karin is finally going to find the happiness that truly belongs to her...

Only Uchiha Hikaru and Fu, who were sitting in the corner of the sofa eating snacks together, were somewhat unaware of the current situation.

But at that moment, Karin's happy mood didn't last long before she suddenly found several small hands on her body.

"Huh?!"

Karin was stunned for a moment, then let out a gasp as she was pulled backward by the creatures.

When she lay down on the sofa, she realized that the people who had pulled her up were actually her clones.

"Brother Qingye, can you pat my head too?"

"Brother Qingye, can I come along later?"

"I want some too! I can help..."

Meanwhile, the white clouds and green leaves had already been submerged by a large group of korin.

"?!"

Seeing this, even Karin herself couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment.

A mere shadow clone dares to defy its superior!

"Damn it, I am the real body! You shadow clones are absolutely despicable!"

Karin's main body was enraged. For a moment, she forgot the essence of shadow clones and charged forward, competing with the shadow clones.

"..."
