Chapter 655 Sasuke's Unease

Sitting to the side, Chiyo picked up a plump prawn and placed it in Karin's bowl:

"Knowing you can eat a lot, why don't you eat more?"

Karin stared at the large shrimp in the bowl for a moment, then began to peel them.

She skillfully handled the large shrimp in her hands, but her big eyes darted around restlessly, occasionally stealing glances at Qian Yao.

I have no idea what kind of wicked scheme she's plotting.

In no time, Xianglin successfully peeled the shrimp meat.

But instead of immediately putting it in her mouth to taste the deliciousness, she took the shrimp meat and slowly brought it to Qianyao's lips.

A pair of clear and bright eyes were wide open, staring intently at Qian Yao.

After Chiyo smiled and ate the shrimp, Karin began to carefully peel another shrimp for him.

"Don't just peel them for me, eat some yourself too. I prefer watching you eat."

"Chiyo said softly, while pulling out a chopstick from the side and walking behind Karin.

Karin keenly sensed that her master was already standing behind her, but she did not turn around because she knew what her master was about to do.

Thinking of this, a shy blush quickly crept onto her fair cheeks like the evening glow.

Chiyo gently stretched out her hands and tenderly gathered Karin's smooth and shiny long hair, carefully smoothing it before placing the chopsticks in her hand around it twice.

Immediately afterwards, he held down the hair, skillfully rotated the chopsticks, cleverly hooked the hair back, and then inserted the chopsticks into it.

The whole process was natural and smooth. In just a few seconds, Qianyao successfully styled Karin's beautiful hair into an exquisite bun.

Witnessing this scene, Ruri, Ori, Yakumo, Shion, and others all showed relieved smiles.

However, Hinata and Hotaru couldn't help but show surprise.

After all, both of them were descendants of ancient families, and they were quite familiar with the meaning of updo hairstyle.

At this moment, they were somewhat surprised by the relationship between Chiyo and Karin.

So all he could do was look at Chiyo with curious and inquisitive eyes, glancing at Karin every now and then.

Only Hydrangea was completely baffled, staring blankly at everyone.

Because she grew up in Amegakure and was an orphan with no one to rely on, she was unfamiliar with this aspect of the culture and had no idea why people would react this way.

Naruto, being a complete scatterbrain, nudged Hinata sitting beside him with his elbow, a look of surprise and curiosity on his face, and whispered:

"Hinata, look! The principal can even do his hair up! That's amazing!"

Just then, Chiyo slowly sat down, his keen eyes catching the subtle interaction between Naruto and Hinata.

Qianyao's lips curled slightly upwards, and he looked at Naruto with a half-smile, deliberately teasing him:

"Naruto, you should learn this skill too, otherwise how will Hinata style her hair in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto looked completely bewildered and replied idiotically:

"No need, Hinata's hair is tied up."

Hinata also has long, shiny black hair, but she's having hot pot tonight.

She specially wore an exquisite headband and hair tie to tie her hair up.

Hinata glared at Naruto reproachfully after hearing his words, her eyes showing a mixture of shyness and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Naruto was completely bewildered. He subconsciously scratched his head, muttering to himself:

[Did I say something wrong? Why is Hinata looking at me like that?]

Seeing this, Chiyo couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head as he said to Naruto:

"Just learn what I tell you to learn, stop talking so much nonsense."

Then, Chiyo turned to Hinata and teased her with a smile:

"Hinata, you shouldn't wear hair ties anymore."

Hinata naturally understood that Chiyo was teasing them.

However, Naruto started holding her hand every day five years ago, and now the two have long since confirmed their relationship, filling her heart with sweetness and happiness.

Hinata blushed, nodded shyly, and softly replied:

"I understand, Lord Qianyao."

Although Naruto was somewhat slow to notice, at this moment, he still sensed something was amiss.

He nodded vigorously in response:

"I understand, Principal."

At this moment, Sasuke's eyes seemed to have lost focus, appearing somewhat empty and lifeless.

Beneath this seemingly calm exterior, his brain was working at high speed, like a machine, thinking rapidly.

[No, that's absolutely impossible! Master always doted on Karin; he must have treated her like his own daughter.]

Sasuke silently repeated this to himself, trying to convince himself with this thought.

Gradually, his gaze regained focus, and as if convincing himself, he nodded solemnly.

However, despite this, his gaze that kept drifting towards Karin betrayed his true thoughts.

Sasuke continued to enjoy his meal as if nothing had happened, while secretly observing the situation.

When he saw Qianyao constantly serving food to Xianglin, for some reason, his previously anxious heart relaxed a little.

[Hmm...it doesn't seem to be much different from before.]

Sasuke pondered to himself, then completely calmed down and began to concentrate on enjoying the sumptuous dishes in front of him.

The group sat together, enjoying their meal and chatting happily.

The awkwardness and distance that came with five years of separation quickly vanished in this warm and harmonious atmosphere.

For them, Qianyao is still the same familiar Qianyao.

For Qianyao, there wasn't much difference between his situation two days ago and his situation two days ago.

"Hydrangea, how many summoned beasts do you have now?"

Qian Yao has no need to worry about the cultivation limits of others, but Zi Yang Hua's current situation is quite different.

She has now entered a bottleneck period.

It's important to know that the summoning beasts that the Uchiha clan can contract are mostly support-type. Whether it's a ninja cat or a ninja crow, their effect on enhancing the combat power of the hydrangea is minimal.

The hydrangea extended four slender fingers and whispered:

"I already have four summoning beasts. It's just a pity that my chakra is too limited, and I can't maintain the contractual connection with them for long."

Qian Yao nodded thoughtfully, indicating his understanding, after all, the hydrangea was still quite young.

He then asked, "You possess exceptional spatial talent; have you considered learning the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
