Chapter 481 is just a warm-up.
Kurama Yakumo gently shook his head, trying to shake off all the strange thoughts in his mind.
Karin was standing there looking completely lost in thought. Yakumo thought to himself that the most important thing right now was to comfort Karin.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke solemnly:
"In my opinion, since Lord Qianyao hasn't explicitly refused, it means there's still hope!"
"After all, if you really don't like something, you'll just refuse it directly."
Upon hearing this, Karin raised her head and looked directly at Yakumo, as if trying to find more confirmation on her face.
Seeing this, Yakumo smiled slightly and continued:
"Sasuke is the best example. Think about it, back in school, so many girls liked him!"
"But what does Sasuke do? He always rejects people directly without hesitation or mercy, leaving no room for negotiation!"
At this point, Yakumo couldn't help but purse his lips, revealing a helpless expression.
"And, Karin, you should know that Lord Senyou's favorite person is you."
"Ziyuan, Ying, and I are all behind you in line."
"What does it matter if you're young now? People always grow up eventually!"
Karin listened to Yakumo's words and nodded thoughtfully.
After a short silence, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something.
That's right! Back in the day, Sasuke was the undisputed most handsome boy in our class.
At that time, none of them had been selected for the elite class.
Every day during the break between classes, groups of girls would swarm around Sasuke like bees drawn to nectar.
Some of them went to great lengths to give Sasuke various small gifts, while others tried every means to find topics to chat with him.
However, Sasuke always remained cold and aloof in the face of these passionate girls, rudely rejecting all their kindness.
Sometimes, even if someone just wants to swap lunches with him, he'll just say something like, "I don't care."
"Sorry, I don't eat other people's lunches." That kind of indifference is simply intimidating.
Compared to Sasuke's coldness in rejecting other girls, his master doted on and loved her.
The master simply hasn't responded yet because he's young.
After all, even the master didn't directly refuse!
The more Karin thought about it, the more relaxed she felt, and the gloom that had been hanging over her heart gradually dissipated.
Children's thoughts are as unpredictable as the weather in June, and Karin is no exception.
Despite her stubborn and unwavering personality, even the slightest bit of frustration can easily creep into her heart.
Fortunately, these negative emotions came and went quickly, disappearing in no time.
Karin raised her head, her eyes shining as she looked intently at Yakumo, and said earnestly:
“You’re right, Yakumo, I’ll grow up eventually. I will definitely become Master’s bride!”
After she finished speaking, her face was filled with strong anticipation, as if she was already envisioning the future.
Upon hearing these words, Yakumo was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
To be honest, she never expected that this Ninja World War would make her aware of Karin's special feelings for Lord Chiyo.
She leaned close to Karin's ear and whispered, "I suggest..."
"You absolutely mustn't let anyone else know about this."
However, Karin was very puzzled by this, since she was not the kind of person who liked to bury her thoughts deep in her heart or hide them.
Therefore, they didn't have many concerns about whether or not to keep it a secret from others.
She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Huh? Why?"
Faced with Karin's question, Yakumo pondered for a moment before slowly explaining:
"I remember Teacher Duan saying that you shouldn't publicize things you haven't accomplished, because that will only let others know your weaknesses."
After listening to what Yakumo said, Karin nodded thoughtfully, automatically understanding it as such.
—If this feeling is revealed to the public too early, it is very likely to bring a lot of trouble to Qianyao and even become his fatal weakness.
Thinking of this, Karin quickly chimed in:
"Yes, you do have a point!"
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly began to instruct Yakumo:
"You must keep this a secret for me, Yakumo!"
……
Qianyao entered the council tent.
All the senior members of this team are here.
Tsunade, Dan Kato, and Sakumo Hatake, the three important figures, were sitting together, discussing the current situation.
As soon as Qianyao stepped into the tent, he went straight to the point and asked, "Is the poison from Sunagakure troublesome?"
His gaze lingered on Tsunade.
"The poisons in Sunagakure are still the same variants as before. Although the antidote we prepared before may be slightly less effective, it should not be a problem to get rid of these toxins."
Tsunade's team here is mainly worried that Sunagakure might develop some new toxins, which would cause Konoha to suffer huge losses.
However, several years have passed since the Third Shinobi World War, and Sunagakure has not introduced any new technologies, indicating that Sunagakure's resources are indeed extremely scarce.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to save money even during wartime.
In fact, Sunagakure has always been completely countered by Konoha. Despite their poisons being invincible on the battlefield, Konoha produced Tsunade, a medical genius.
Not to mention that they detoxified all their toxins, they also directly promoted the advancement of the medical system in the ninja world.
Teams that have the resources should bring medical ninjas.
This directly or indirectly weakened Sunagakure's use of poison in combat.
As for White Fang, he even killed Sasori's parents, indirectly causing the Third Kazekage to die inexplicably.
This caused Sunagakure's strength to plummet, and Sunagakure is now basically at the bottom of the five great nations.
"How are your expendable resources today? What's our battle plan for the future?"
Although Chiyo has already acquired the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he has never used it at full power in an external battle.
The previous attack on Kumogakure, although Yugito died, was a different battlefield from the one we see now.
They have the Hyuga clan as intelligence agents, and the number of Chiyo and Rasa is roughly the same.
They are four thousand and five thousand people respectively.
Why are there more people in Sunagakure than in Iwagakure or Kumogakure?
That's because Sunagakure sent in a lot of genin, almost their entire force.
Although the first two ambushes resulted in Chiyo losing seven or eight hundred men, it was not a crippling blow to the Sand Village, which had a total strength of nine thousand.
These first two battles were also thanks to Chiyo's Susanoo.
A war of this intensity would never be able to stop unless more than half of the personnel were lost.
The most crucial question now is whether Chiyo's Susanoo can withstand eight thousand men.
In terms of both intensity and consumption.
"There's absolutely no need to worry about energy expenditure; today is just a warm-up for me."
"Even if I consume some energy, Karin can replenish it for me."
