After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chiyu truly hadn't expected that the lightsaber created by Swift Escape would have such a flaw.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If this sword is really that useful, why would White Fang need to forge his own White Fang Short Sword?

A lightsaber with something to rely on is stronger than one without.

"Looks like I'll have to follow White Fang's example and get a short sword!"

Qianyu made a plan in her mind.

At the same time, Qianyu's unusual behavior also made Honglian realize that Qianyu was injured.

"She's injured and bleeding!" Upon realizing this, Honglian was greatly encouraged.

The fact that blood is being drawn means that Chiba is not invincible.

Honglian, who had initially lost her will to fight, rallied and quickly formed hand seals.

"Crystal Release: Crystal Wall Eight Formation!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

Crystals as thick as city walls rose around Qianyu, eventually forming a huge prison that locked him up.

"You haven't given up yet?" Looking at Honglian, Qianyu didn't understand: "Even if my technique has flaws, it's still not something you can defeat. Give up, stop struggling in vain!"

"I know, but I have one last trick up my sleeve!"

"Crystal Escape·One Iota of Light!"

With a roar, Honglian leaped into the sky, and four chakra flames ignited around her, spreading outwards and outwards. The flames then connected with each other, forming a magic circle with a rectangular outer shape and a diamond-shaped inner shape.

In the center of the magic circle, pure blue crystal enveloped the red lotus itself.

Within that tiny crystal, Crimson Lotus's chakra surged forth, only to be forcibly compressed, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

"Is it time to unleash this ninjutsu now?"

Looking at the crimson lotus in the sky, Qianyu became even more serious. This was a technique that even the Three-Tails couldn't withstand.

With Qianyu on high alert, Honglian's final move quickly came to an end.

From the flames surrounding Honglian's body, energy was released from each of the surrounding areas, converging in the center to unleash a high-energy laser beam that hurtled towards Qianyu!

When the powerful laser came into contact with the crystal array, the crystal array that Honglian used to imprison Qianyu was instantly melted, creating a large hole.

Under the constraints of the crystal array, Qianyu had no way to avoid it!

"It's done!" Seeing this, Honglian felt a sense of relief.

Because if defeating Senba was initially just Orochimaru's mission...

After being repeatedly defeated by Chiyu, and her previously smooth life suddenly plummeting, defeating Chiyu has become an obsession for Guren.

Now, after three rounds of fighting, using every possible method, she finally managed to defeat Qianyu in this last desperate attempt.

In this way, she could die without regrets!

Having lost her last fighting spirit, Honglian plummeted from the sky, her gray robes fluttering in the air like a broken-winged crane.

However, when Honglian, who still retained some consciousness, fell from the sky, the first thing she felt was not the hard ground, but a soft and fragrant embrace.

"Huh?" Honglian opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that Qianyu's beautiful smiling face right in front of her.

Looking at Qianyu again, she was still as clean, tidy, and elegant as ever.

Honglian seemed to understand something and said unwillingly, "Damn it, I was using my last move, couldn't you have just taken it properly?"

However, Qianyu simply smiled irritatingly and said matter-of-factly, "I'm not some kind of meat shield, why should I take your attacks head-on?"

Although she didn't know what "big meat" meant, Honglian could understand it by considering the context.

Her trembling hand pointed at Qianyu's nose, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she sobbed again, "You, you, you bastard! I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"

Seeing this, Qianyu rolled her eyes dramatically and pinched Honglian's cheek as punishment:

"You promised to keep your word! Relax, relax, go and recover, you proud little girl!"

After saying that, Qianyu waved her hand, signaling the waiting medical team to arrive quickly and take Honglian away.

Then that stubborn mouth, which even Amaterasu couldn't burn, was deliberately plugged.

With that, today's events have finally come to an end.

However, even after watching the medical team take Honglian away, Qianyu didn't relax. Instead, she looked at the building next to her and said, "That one over there, after sneaking around for so long, it should come out by now!"

"Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!"

A crisp slap rang out.

Then, in Chiyu's slightly dilated pupils...

An elderly man with a gloomy demeanor and bandages wrapped around his right eye and right hand walked out.

Despite his apparent disability, Danzo's single eye shone with a restrained light, and the knife-like cut on his chin spoke of the marks of time, yet an extraordinary aura emanated from him.

"Not bad, you were able to sense my presence. As expected of Konoha's most outstanding rookie!"

"That was a very well fought battle, Phoenix Temple Chiba!"

A somewhat natural smile appeared on Danzo's stiff face.

"Who are you?" Qianyu asked, feigning ignorance while revealing a hint of confusion.

Danzo revealed a hint of arrogance: "I am Danzo, the Hokage's assistant and the controller of the Root of Konoha!"

"Hokage's assistant?!" Upon hearing this title, Chiba appeared extremely shocked.

She stared at Danzo in disbelief, seemingly completely stunned by the title.

Looking at Chiba like this, Danzo felt a surge of pride. So what if she possessed Wood Release? So what if she learned Ice Release? She still showed awe under his power!

However, Danzo's joy was short-lived.

Chiyu gave an awkward but polite smile: "Um, Lord Danzo, no offense intended. Perhaps I'm just a bit ignorant. Although you said you're the Hokage's assistant, I don't think I've ever heard of you before!"

"Are you really the Hokage's assistant?"

"..." Danzo's confident expression froze upon hearing Chiba's question.

Because he really isn't.

The reason was simple: he was expelled by the Third Hokage during the Uchiha incident.

What Danzo didn't expect was that Chiba would also question his identity.

When he was deceiving people in the past, no one ever thought that he was a fraud.

But for now, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and keep up the act.

"Of course! You just haven't heard of it because I don't usually appear in public!"

Danzo stated unequivocally: "If Sarutobi is the shadow in the light, then I am the root in the darkness. We are one in the light and one in the darkness, and that is how Konoha has prospered for so many years."

"Within the country!" Hearing Danzo's self-praise, Chiba once again exclaimed in respect, accompanied by a look of admiration.

If Kakashi were here, he would know very well that Chiba had once again used her many tricks to fool people.

Unfortunately, Danzo is not Kakashi.

He didn't feel there was anything wrong at all.

Meanwhile, Chiba's next problem arises.

"Lord Danzo, is there something you need to see me about?"
