Chapter 196 Two Similar Flowers
Koharu Utatane chimed in, "That's great! This way, Tsunade can quickly familiarize herself with Konoha's affairs."
Qianyao immediately replied:
"Then let's vote. Raise your hand if you agree that the Third Hokage should continue in office, Tsunade should take over the hospital, and Elder Koharu Utatane should serve as the Hokage's assistant."
Although these are three separate issues, there's no problem voting on them together.
Chiyo and Fugaku were the first to raise their hands.
Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Chiyo and then raised his hand as well.
The three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho also voted by raising their hands, led by Nara Shikaga.
The other honorary elders also mostly raised their hands.
The votes have already exceeded two-thirds, so there's no need to vote against it anymore.
The Third Hokage was also forced into this situation and said:
"Since everyone agrees, I will continue in my post. In the time to come, I will work hard to develop Konoha and make up for this mistake."
"After Koharu Utatane became the Hokage's assistant, Tsunade took over the authority of Konoha Hospital."
Qian Yao sat down with a fake smile on his face.
As expected, Tsunade didn't want to be Hokage, while Koharu Utatane was only interested in power, and the Third Hokage hadn't even had enough yet.
It's naive to think you can step down cleanly like that.
At that point, it won't be a question of whether you want to step down, but rather whether you'll have no choice but to.
The next step was for the Third Hokage to oversee the reconstruction of Konoha.
Qianyao then remained silent.
The subsequent progress was rapid, and the meeting ended quickly.
Chiyo and Fugaku slowly walked out with the flow of people.
At this moment, Nara Shikaga said to Chiyo:
"We haven't congratulated Chiyo on becoming the head of the Uchiha clan yet."
Chiyo turned and looked at the elder of the Nara family with a smile:
"Once something is set in stone, celebrating it is just a formality."
A glint flashed in Lu He's eyes: "I wonder if Qian Yao likes shogi? You can come to my house for a few games when you have time."
Qianyao laughed and said, "There are too many rules in shogi, and I'm not very good at remembering them."
"It's not certain which piece belongs to me and which belongs to my opponent."
"Moreover, chess players can only be confined to the rules."
"Winning or losing is just a trick within the rules."
"I, Uchiha Chiyo, enjoy watching people play chess."
Lu He looked at Qian Yao with a serious expression, as if he were meeting him for the first time.
"What's Qianyao's opinion on the wins and losses of those chess players?"
Qianyao laughed heartily: "I'll watch it when I want to, and I won't watch it when I don't want to."
"A chess player's wins or losses are not necessarily determined on the chessboard."
"I'm busy with clan affairs, so I'll take my leave now."
He then waved his hand and left with Fugaku.
Only Lu He remained, frowning in thought.
……
Off the coast of the Land of Fire, a huge merchant ship is slowly sailing towards the Land of Fire.
Merchant ships are standard cargo ships, with round bows, large bellies, and deep drafts. They are slow-moving but very stable.
Three people were standing on the edge of the deck.
It was Chiyo's clone, Haku and Kimimaro.
"Let's go!"
At Qianyao's command, he was the first to jump into the sea.
Kimimaro and Haku took a deep breath and then jumped down.
In mid-air, Qianyao extended two chakra arms to catch the two of them, and they landed steadily on the water's surface.
He stretched out his chakra hand and waved it at the merchant ship. After the merchant ship sounded its horn, it slowly sailed away.
Under Qianyao's individual tutelage, the two children, who finally had a home, absorbed knowledge like a dried-up sponge.
Both of them were exceptionally intelligent, excelling in various theoretical knowledge, chakra extraction, and chakra control.
"Alright, you've all learned enough about chakra refining and control."
"We need to tread water to get to land now."
Qianyao gently placed the two of them onto the sea surface, where they stood steadily.
"Yes, Lord Qianyao."
They were almost at the Land of Fire, but the merchant ship had to take a long detour to dock, so Qianyao simply had the two of them practice treading water.
The turbulent sea is a greater test of chakra control than calm water.
However, the two of them possessed a level of control over chakra that far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Standing on the sea is as easy as walking on flat ground.
While keeping an eye on the two children, Qianyao walked slowly toward the shore of the Land of Fire.
Having a clone with the chakra of the Three-Tails Isobu means there's no need to worry about energy depletion.
Because it can exist forever.
During their time in the Land of Water, Chiyo accompanied Kimimaro and Haku to recuperate. When they returned, they chose a ship that traveled very slowly.
So much so that now that Chiyo has become the head of the Uchiha clan, the ship has only just reached the coast of the Land of Fire.
However, under Chiyo's care during this period, both Kimimaro and Haku have become much healthier.
Otherwise, chakra cannot be refined or used.
Both of them are very innocent people. Qianyao's guidance and care along the way have made their bond with him grow stronger and stronger.
The bond between the two has broken through to the second level, but the subsequent stars are locked.
It's probably because the two of them are still young and lack the necessary skills.
Qianyao couldn't help but sigh that it's best to start cultivating feelings from childhood.
The three of them walked towards the land for more than half an hour.
We could barely see the coastline.
Kimimaro was still holding on, but Haku was already sweating profusely.
Kimimaro, who had been watching Haku's condition, quickly turned to Chiyo and said:
"Lord Chiyo, Haku's chakra is running low."
Bai shook his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "Lord Qianyao, I can still hold on."
Qianyao picked Bai up with one hand and noticed that Bai's shoes were soaked by seawater.
It's clear that he has lost control of his chakra.
"If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself."
"We are training, not running for our lives."
Hearing Qianyao's words, Bai was a little embarrassed: "I understand, Lord Qianyao."
Chiyo waved his hand: "Kimimaro, you carry him on your back."
"Yes!"
Kimimaro quickly put the white bag on his back.
"Thank you."
Haku lay on Kimimaro's back and whispered.
Kimimaro did not reply, but only responded with a sound.
Shiro's weight wasn't heavy, but Kimimaro was now standing on the water, which meant he was carrying several tens of kilograms of weight.
Kimimaro managed to maintain his chakra to avoid falling into the sea.
Qianyao saw everything clearly from the side, but he didn't offer any help. Instead, he slowly followed behind.
In the original timeline, Orochimaru wasn't truly devoted to Kimimaro, but at least Kimimaro was genuinely happy when he was with Orochimaru.
In that timeline, it's unclear whether Zabuza used Haku as a tool, but the time when Haku was with Zabuza was also the happiest time for him.
Both of them had equally tragic, lonely, and confused childhoods.
They only met briefly in that time and space.
But here, two similar flowers leaned against each other.
