The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 479 Perceiving Intentions

Hyuga Shio and Karin sped towards them, their figures rapidly approaching Chiyo's location.

"Master, according to our reconnaissance, the team led by Rasa is less than half a day's journey away from the team led by Chiyo!"

Since Karin successfully awakened Kagura's Mind's Eye, she has become an extremely outstanding support member of the team.

Before this fierce battle could begin, the meticulous Qianyao naturally needed to assess the risk of being surrounded and attacked by Luosha.

After all, even though he himself possesses extraordinary strength and is fearless, he brought many companions from Konoha Village with him on this mission.

Therefore, in order to obtain important intelligence such as the exact location and speed of the Rosa troops.

Chiyo dispatched Karin and Hyuga Shio to infiltrate enemy territory to conduct reconnaissance.

After listening to the report, Qianyao nodded slightly and said:

"Let's give the troops a short rest first; there are still tough battles ahead."

Despite controlling four Susanoo this time, Chiyo showed no signs of fatigue.

In fact, compared to the Susanoo form, which consumes a huge amount of ocular power.

The eye power required to maintain these scattered Susanoo is negligible.

The reason why Chiyo chose such a tactical layout to meet the enemy was partly because he wanted to gradually weaken the living forces of Sunagakure.

On the other hand, it is a deliberate attempt to create a false impression.

—That is, if Sunagakure puts in just a little more effort, they can defeat Konoha.

If he had unleashed Susanoo in its God of War form at the very beginning of the battle...

The Sand Village's psychological defenses will likely crumble instantly, and they'll simply run away.

Of course, the Susanoo in its God of War form remains a top secret; no one knows about it.

He was just about to discuss the next tactics with Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake when...

Without saying a word, Karin dragged him into the tent next to her.

"Master, you must be exhausted this time!"

Karin, looking smug, stretched out her hand in front of Chiyo.

It even shook itself a few times, as if to show Qian Yao its cleverness.

Chiyo found it somewhat amusing to look at Karin's expectant expression.

This time, he did not refuse Karin's kindness.

So he gently bit Karin's delicate arm.

A stream of chakra originating from Karin flowed continuously into Chiyo's body.

This chakra carried a strong yang attribute aura, and its powerful energy had an unimaginable effect on Qianyao's recovery.

After all, Chiyo's body had already fully adapted to and accepted the presence of Karin's cells.

Therefore, when these chakras enter Qianyao's body, they naturally merge with the Yin attribute chakra that Qianyao himself possesses.

Although the power of this fusion is not great, what is remarkable is that it has always maintained a stable and lasting state.

It should be noted that Chiyo herself already possesses the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and her eye power can slowly recover on its own after being depleted.

However, thanks to Karin's meticulous treatment, Chiyo's recovery speed has been significantly improved.

Compared to previous treatments, this time the situation is significantly better.

Because Chiyo was not injured, Karin will not suffer a significant loss of life force this time.

It only consumes some of Karin's chakra.

Even so, Karin still felt a wave of dizziness after completing the treatment.

For some reason, she always felt that Qian Yao exuded an indescribable sense of familiarity.

The feeling was like a warm quilt and a soft, comfortable pillow in winter, which deeply attracted her and made her want to get closer.

Just after Qian Yaosong spoke, Karin's delicate and weak body seemed to lose its support, and she leaned limply against Qian Yaosong.

They were in a medical tent, inside which was a hospital bed.

This bed is usually reserved for those who are seriously injured or poisoned and urgently need surgical treatment.

However, the situation in Konoha Village is relatively optimistic, both for the wounded ninjas and those who have unfortunately been poisoned.

The situation is not yet serious enough to necessitate the use of this operating table.

When Qianyao saw that Xianglin had lost her strength, he assumed that she had simply overexerted her physical and mental energy, just like before.

So he helped Karin to the empty hospital bed and gently placed her on it to sit down.

He gently said to her, "If you're tired, take a rest."

After saying that, he turned to leave so that Karin could rest.

Just as Chiyo turned around, Karin stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly from behind.

At the same time, Karin gently pressed her cheek against Chiyo's broad back.

The voice that came from his mouth was soft and slightly intoxicated:

"Master...can you please stop treating me like a child?"

Upon hearing this, Qianyao's heart skipped a beat.

He turned around in surprise, his gaze meeting Karin's affectionate eyes.

At this moment, a faint blush appeared on Karin's pretty face, as delicate and tempting as a ripe apple;

When she looked up at Qian Yao, her eyes were like a clear spring, so clear and bright that they could almost drip water.

Qian Yao slightly twisted his neck and gently rubbed his brow with his right hand.

He first sighed, realizing the situation was somewhat tricky, then said with a serious expression:

"Karin, you're just a child!"

Upon hearing Chiyo emphasize this point, Karin unconsciously tightened her grip on Chiyo's arm even further.

Her fair and delicate face was flushed with a faint pink, like a ripe apple, and her shyness was evident.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Qian Yao's gaze, and murmured softly:

"Then... when I'm no longer a child, I'll marry you, Master, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qianyao's gaze slowly fell on Xianglin's face, which was becoming even more beautiful due to her shyness, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Only then did he truly realize that Karin's feelings for him had long since crossed the boundaries that should exist between master and disciple.

Despite the fact that in this ninja world filled with war and strife, there are many examples of people getting married in their teens.

Even Hinata, who is the same age as Karin, now has a very ambiguous relationship with Naruto.

Hinata and Naruto are the same age, and their relationship is limited to mutual affection.

Unlike Chiyo and Karin.

—He and Karin not only have an age gap.

More importantly, Qianyao himself is a fully mature adult.

Including the years before he traveled through time and the years after he arrived here, his actual age is already over thirty.

No matter how mature Karin may appear on the outside, she is still a child at heart.

Qianyao can choose a partner who is older or younger than him, but cannot be a minor.

There is absolutely no way he could let Karin, who is not yet fully mature and is still in the stage of a child, fall in love with him.

Because this is his bottom line and principle.
