Chapter 161 Even the salt isn't salted anymore
"Why does it feel like the tailed beast extraction is going pretty fast?"
Kisame, who had prepared to sit for three days, ended up finishing the cigarette in less than two days, scratching his head sheepishly.
"The Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon originally required ten people to seal it. Now that Kong Chen has returned to his position, it's normal that it's fast."
"Pain, who was positioned at the very tip of the Gedo Mazo's finger, said calmly."
"Empty Chen!"
Upon hearing this, the other phantoms in the cave looked at Chiba, who was standing next to Sasori and Deidara, with complicated expressions.
Initially, they rejected Qianyu's joining.
Back then, Itachi at least slaughtered an Uchiha clan, while Chiba only caused some trouble in Kirigakure. Why should he be ranked alongside them? (Obito did not reveal specific information.)
But after subsequent encounters (and getting beaten up), no one dared to say anything to Chiyu anymore.
At this moment, Deidara, who had a fairly good relationship with her, teased, "Aren't those Chiba's former classmates and teachers outside the cave right now? Maybe Chiba wants to go out and hold a family reunion soon, hmm!"
"So, Deidara, you really want to have a family and friends gathering?"
Chiyu glanced at Deidara with a half-smile, then suggested to Pain, "Boss, aren't we still short of start-up capital? Let's not send Kakuzu out on missions, let's just sell Deidara to Onoki as a package deal."
"I think that since Onoki saw his beloved disciple and Kurotsuchi saw her dear senior brother, the Iwa ninja will definitely be willing to offer a considerable reward."
"As for the position of Azure Dragon, I happen to have someone who can fill it, which will not affect the subsequent plans at all."
"I think it's feasible!" Kakuzu, who doesn't care about anything else as long as there's money, chimed in.
Kisame grinned, revealing his mouth full of shark teeth: "I have no objection!"
“Perfect timing, I’ve been wanting to get rid of this guy for a long time too!” Scorpion said casually.
Then Hidan said, "Hahaha, if the new recruits are willing to join the Jashin Cult, then I have no objection."
The Akatsuki organization only has ten official members, and now it has five votes in an instant, leaving Deidara completely dumbfounded.
"Wait, wait, no! Why am I suddenly being fired? Watashi, is he some kind of annoying person?"
Didara reached out, trying to awaken everyone's conscience: "And Brother Sasori, why are you saying the same thing!"
"If I go back, who will discuss art with you anymore? My art will wither away if I return to a place like Iwagakure!"
Deidara emphasized the "um" sound at the end to indicate his emphasis.
"That kind of art is better off withered. I've said it before, only eternal beauty is art!"
"Hey, hey!" When it comes to art, Deidara has to undo the spells on his hands and have a good chat with Sasori.
Seeing this, Payne, who had been observing coldly, stopped the farce: "Focus! That's enough!"
Under Payne's pressure, everyone refocused on their actions.
after a while.
Outside the cave, Chiba, who had just pinned Naruto to the ice prison, paused for a moment, then released his grip: "It's over!"
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, confused.
But he understood the next second.
A dark green figure suddenly appeared like lightning, delivering a powerful and heavy strike to Qian Yu's slender, fair wrist, creating a deafening boom!
Qianyu, who had barely moved throughout the entire battle, had no choice but to adopt a stance of releasing his strength after such a kick, causing a spiderweb-like crack to appear on the frozen ground.
Looking at the green bodysuit-clad figure in front of him, a figure that would have seemed utterly comical in the past, Naruto suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security: "Guy-sensei, you've come!"
"Ah, I'm finally here! I hope I'm not too late!"
Matt Kai's expression was extremely serious.
He glanced at Qianyu in front of him, withdrew his foot, and asked in a deep voice, "Qianyu, I need an explanation!"
In the Naruto world, when Might Guy needs you to explain, you'd better actually do explain.
"Ah, well..." Qianyu, unusually a little nervous, reached up to brush her hair aside, preparing to explain.
however……
"do not move!"
Neji, Tenten, and Lee suddenly appeared in a flash.
Lee grabbed Chiba's trembling hand, Tenten held a kunai against Chiba's neck, and Neji used pressure point techniques to press on Chiba's lower back.
Being so solemnly held back by the three of them, Qianyu was both amused and exasperated: "There's no need for this, I didn't intend to do anything."
"That's not necessarily true!"
Xiao Li's face was grave, his eyes filled with regret: "You are Phoenix Temple Chiyu, the most talented and strongest among us! Even if you really wanted to do something, how could we possibly tell?"
"Like this time... Chiba, why?"
"I..." For some reason, even when faced with Naruto's questioning, Chiba could still laugh and joke, and could freely criticize Naruto's immaturity.
Faced with Xiao Li's questioning, and looking at his earnest, thick-browed face, Qian Yu was speechless for a moment.
Is it because honest people are more reserved in their emotions, making it harder to handle when they finally erupt?
Is it because they know Naruto is a good person, and even if you become his enemy for a while, he won't say anything, so you can act recklessly, while someone like Rock Lee can't?
Chiyu didn't know.
It's possible that both are true, or it's possible that neither is true.
It's also possible that it was only at this moment that he truly realized he was about to part ways with everything from Konoha's past, and finally experienced the real feeling of a break.
Qianyu suddenly clutched her soft heart: "Yes, people aren't plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? It turns out that even someone as heartless as me, even knowing that the breakup is only temporary, can still feel sad!"
"Qianyu..."
Seeing this from afar, Sasuke, who knew Chiba's feelings best, couldn't help but feel worried.
Chiba is different from him three years ago. His only bonds are with Team 7. Naruto is a clingy guy who can't be driven away, Kakashi is very rational, and Chiba has always been on his side. Even if he leaves Konoha, it's just a change of training location.
But this time, Qianyu was truly determined to sever all ties.
He's a man, cold-hearted, and doesn't care.
But Qianyu is a woman, and naturally emotional. Can she really harden her heart?
"Isn't that obvious!"
Having been watching the scene through the live stream, Chiba guessed Sasuke's thoughts and thought to herself.
Who is she? Phoenix Temple Chiba, a woman among women, how could she not be hard-hearted?
"If you ask why!"
"Pfft!"
The sudden burst of bone spikes forced the three members of the second class away, whose expressions changed drastically.
Then Chiyu retracted the bone spikes, replaced her tattered clothes with the Corpse Bone Pulse, and formed a light armor to cover her body: "I want to explore the origin of the ninja world and uncover the beginning of chakra. Is this reason enough?"
Looking at Qianyu's body, which was clearly bone armor that could only be born from the bloodline limit of Shikotsumyaku, everyone was shocked and horrified.
