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

Chapter 639 Kiss

When Qianyao regained consciousness, he found himself at the end of a time-space tunnel.

Just like last time, the familiar yet unfamiliar ninja world came into view once again.

However, just as he was joyfully preparing to step into that world, he was ruthlessly blocked by a transparent film.

Qianyao slowly reached out and gently touched the thin film in front of him, which seemed fragile but was actually incredibly tough.

The power that Xia Mu had given him before parting involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his eyes, immediately feeling an unusually active pupil power surging within his body.

"Could it be..."

Qian Yao muttered to himself, seemingly understanding something.

He stared intently at the ninja world, so close yet so far, his eyes constantly conveying the desire to go home, the longing to return home.

As this strong desire continued to be transmitted, the already very active pupil power seemed to be stimulated in some way, becoming even more turbulent.

Gradually, Chiyo felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes, but he endured the pain and did not stop sending his thoughts of returning home to his Sharingan.

Finally, at a certain moment, the power in Qian Yao's eyes suddenly trembled, and he unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly.

In an instant, Qian Yao melted away like a shadow, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, my whole being melted away like a shadow.

In an instant, Qianyao traversed the space-time tunnel and the vast distance, teleporting back to his clone left in Konoha and replacing it.

This is his newly awakened pupil technique!

Shadow Transmission!

The moment Qianyao was teleported over, he suddenly felt a warm and soft touch on his lips.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the sight before him stunned him instantly—Karin had her eyes closed and was gently kissing his lips.

Qianyao was completely unprepared for this to happen. Instinctively, he pushed hard, trying to break free from the sudden kiss.

Karin had no time to react and was suddenly and violently pushed to the ground.

Karin, who had fallen to the ground, stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

She had been eagerly awaiting Qianyao's return, but now, faced with such treatment, an indescribable sense of grievance welled up within her.

She gazed silently at Qian Yao, her eyes gradually reddening, tears welling up in them.

Finally, Karin could no longer suppress her emotions, her lips trembled, and she burst into tears.

"Waaaah... Master..."

Her cries echoed in the air, as if telling of her endless longing and waiting over the past five years.

After pushing Karin away, Chiyo immediately realized that his behavior had been too rash and violent.

Just as he was about to step forward to help Karin up and apologize to her, a torrent of memories flooded into his mind.

These memories come from everything that clone experienced over the past five years.

Although the clone is in a dormant state, it is still able to receive various information from the outside world.

Karin, in particular, comes here almost every day to confide in her doppelganger and share her joys and sorrows.

Now, as Qianyao returns to his original form, all his memories flood back like a burst dam.

Only then did Qianyao realize with a start that he had actually been gone for a full five years.

Throughout this long period of time, Karin remained steadfast, silently watching over him day after day, never giving up even when faced with an unresponsive clone.

Thinking of this, Qianyao was filled with guilt and self-reproach.

Huff... Qianyao exhaled deeply, as if to expel the heavy longing in his heart.

Longing, though it has no tangible weight, can weigh heavily on a person's heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.

When longing surges up like a raging tide, it instantly overwhelms all thoughts and emotions, immersing the whole person in it, making it difficult to extricate themselves.

Just then, Chiyo saw Karin's tears, which were falling in a stream, filled with grievance. His heart clenched, and without hesitation, he quickly walked to Karin's side, opened his arms, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Karin."

Qianyao said softly, his voice filled with guilt and tenderness.

Karin nestled quietly in her master's broad chest, feeling the strong embrace, but her cries grew increasingly pitiful.

"Master...you actually pushed me..."

Karin sobbed, intermittently recounting her inner grievances and pain.

"You once said...you promised...that when I grew up...I could become your bride...but now, I'm all grown up..."

At this point, Karin raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and gazed at Chiyo's familiar face, continuing her sobbing tale.

"I miss you so much... I think about you every single moment... But why... Master, did you push me away?"

Karin's tears flowed like a burst dam, sliding down her delicate cheeks.

Like pearls from a broken string, they rolled away one after another.

After waiting so many years for his master, he was filled with joy and longing for his return. However, the first thing his master did upon returning was to push him away without any mercy!

At that moment, Karin felt as if her heart had shattered into countless pieces. The grievances and pain intertwined, like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, making it so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Even though her master was holding her tightly, the pain in her heart was still hard to heal, and she was completely out of control, unable to stop crying.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Chiyo reached out and carefully removed Karin's glasses.

Then, he gently lowered his head and slowly pressed his lips to Karin's smooth forehead...

"......Well."

In an instant, Karin felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, and the tears that had been streaming down her face stopped abruptly, even her sobs ceased.

She stared wide-eyed at Qian Yao, who was standing right in front of her.

At that moment, two alluring blushes quickly rose on her tear-streaked face, as delicate and tempting as a ripe apple.

This was the first time Qianyao had ever kissed her on his own initiative!
