Chapter 414 Safe Haven and Stormy Weather

[Tsunade: That's true. Theoretically speaking, Haru and the others inherited Naruto's bloodline, so they should be stronger.]

[Kushina Uzumaki: So why did we lose so quickly?]

Orochimaru: Hmph, so that's the reason.

[Kushina Uzumaki: Huh? What?]

[Kabuto Yakushi: Lady Tsunade, Lady Kushina, and others in the ninja world probably still hold onto the traditional belief that the closer one's bloodline is to the Otsutsuki clan, the stronger they will be, right?]

[Tsunade: Hmm... That's right, so what?]

Orochimaru: So that's why your vision is limited to this. It's true that the closer one's bloodline is to the Otsutsuki clan, the stronger they are. But don't forget that our chakra and ninjutsu are merely one manifestation of the Otsutsuki clan's power.

[Kabuto Yakushi: So Wood Release and Susanoo are merely the power of the Otsutsuki clan. Using Otsutsuki power to fight Otsutsuki is actually not a good choice. They have accumulated power over thousands of years, while we have only existed for a thousand years since the emergence of chakra. Trying to fight them is basically like a small fry compared to a big fish.]

[Tobirama Senju: So, in the video, Ning Ye is trying to develop a new power system to fight against the Otsutsuki clan. For example, the Allied Shinobi Forces' composite Sage Art, Sora's swordsmanship and sword intent, Mai's Cherry Blossom Technique, Ai's research power, etc. The reason why Qing and the others can't win is that they are still using the old power system, while Sora and the others have already stepped onto a different platform.]

[Uchiha Izuna: I see. No wonder the gap was so large. And this gives us a new way to fight the Otsutsuki.]

[Uchiha Madara: Not only that, but Ningye also strongly supports the development of new ninjutsu in the video. Since we can't match the Otsutsuki clan's foundation in chakra techniques, let's use a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming to update the techniques, and try our best to let the ninja world's chakra system catch up with and surpass the Otsutsuki clan.]

[Hashirama Senju: Hahaha, impressive! I didn't expect Ning Ye to have planned everything all along.]

[Mei Terumi: I can only say he's a handsome young man, it's a pity we weren't meant to be.]

[Onoki: Sigh, it's truly shameful to admit, but Ningye has gone to so much trouble for the future of our ninja world.]

Gaara: Yes, but our current task is to manage our area and take care of the upcoming new generation. This is also a task we can help Ning Ye with.

[Fourth Generation Ai: Agreed.]

[Screen continues...]

And so Hinata and the others settled down here.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Kong now have three more training partners, but...

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Qing, who had collapsed on the ground, and Xiao Xi and Xiao Hong shook their heads.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they're really easy to beat. My older brother and I didn't fall down this quickly back in the day."

Ning Ye rubbed his head and smiled, "Yes, yes, Xiao Wu is the best, but is there something you can discuss with your mother?"

"Hmm? What do you need me to relay?"

"Ahem, actually it's tonight..."

"Hehe, I refuse."

"Uh... I haven't said anything yet."

Xiao Wu ignored Ning Ye and simply waved goodbye, since he had tricked her and her older brother a while ago.

Ning Ye could only look at Xiao Kong again, but the latter just shook his head.

"Mom will sleep with my sister tonight, Father..."

"You'd better watch yourself. Hinata's mother and the others probably won't let you off easily, hehe."

Xiao Wu returned at some point and ran away with Xiao Kong.

"Um...should we ask Xiao Ai for help?"

"Never mind, I'll probably get scolded again."

…………

the next morning

Ning Ye lay helplessly on the sofa, recalling the madness of Hinata and the other two last night. Now all he wanted was to seek comfort from Samui and the others.

When Ning Ye saw Xiao Wu, that heartless girl, walking down happily, his mood worsened.

"Sigh, if only Shizuka and the others had been here last night."

If Samui, Shizuka, and Ayano had been there last night, at least he would have had a warm haven instead of facing the onslaught of the three women who had been craving him for so long.

Unfortunately, all of them had made an appointment with Naruko and her two companions yesterday.

Seeing her father's incredibly resentful look at the dinner table, Xiaowu felt that this morning's meal tasted even better.

Indeed, pleasure is built on the suffering of others.

…………

It's another rare day off.

Xiao Wu stretched comfortably on the sofa, wondering how to pass the time, when his communicator suddenly vibrated.

"Hmm? News about Sarada?"

Xiao Wu curiously opened the chat interface.

"Um...we're dating, right? Do you have time to go shopping this afternoon? It's...a date. If you don't have time, that's okay, I'm with Chocho..."

Xiao Wu was stunned when he saw the message. His eyes darted around, and then he suddenly realized something and froze.

"Uh...it seems like we haven't gone on a date since we started dating."

No wonder Sarada's first sentence was that; it must have been difficult for her.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan,

"It's really...sent out."

Sarada blushed furiously after sending the message.

At that moment, a message came through the communicator.

When she saw Xiaowu's reply, she flopped onto the sofa, excitedly burying her head in the pillow and kicking her legs around.

[Sakura Haruno: Hehehe, hahaha, I never expected to see Sarada like this, what a lucky break!]

[Uchiha Mikoto: Yeah, Sarada looks really happy.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: ......]

Seeing his future little peanut—no, his daughter—in this state, Sasuke once again experienced the feeling he had when he was a child, like when Shisui called Itachi away.

[Yamanaka Ino: Sigh, I'm really envious. Sarada's age and she can already go on dates.]

Sakura Haruno: Yeah, when we were that age, Sasuke wasn't really... uh... anything to us.

I almost forgot Sarada was still in the live stream. If she guessed correctly, she should tell Sarada in the future that she and Sasuke have been in love since childhood.

[Chouchou Akimichi: I never expected Sarada to be like this back then, it's really interesting.]

[Sumire Shinohara: Sarada seems very happy.]

[Silk Well Fishing: It's a pity it can't move now, otherwise I would have recorded this.]

Sarada Uchiha: ......

Ugh, I'm about to be publicly executed! Can we skip the rest of the date?!

Little V: Hehe, no way.

Sarada: No!
