Chapter 669 Subjectivity
The barrier department of Konoha was originally just a small barrier team consisting of only a dozen or so people.
However, as Konoha Village continued to expand outwards and its size grew, the Barrier Team also developed in tandem.
Especially after Kushina was successfully resurrected, and with the introduction of the powerful barrier technology from the Miroku sorcery system.
The Barrier Team has developed at an extraordinary speed, as if it has been given wings, and is now far ahead of the entire ninja world.
In just a few short years, the small barrier class has transformed into a large barrier department with more than two hundred members.
Furthermore, the division of labor within the organization is extremely detailed.
It is further divided into different specialized classes such as defense class, communications class, and sealing class.
Each class has a unique and crucial mission.
"...I'll be going now!"
After quickly greeting everyone, Karin rushed out the door like a gust of wind.
It's important to understand that skills like sealing techniques and barrier techniques cannot be easily mastered simply through hard work; they require a very high level of talent.
But Karin not only possesses amazing talent, she is also very hardworking.
In addition, being in such a superior learning environment, and having outstanding masters like Kushina and Miroku impart their knowledge and provide meticulous guidance, her skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Today, Karin's mastery of sealing and barrier techniques far surpasses that of most of her peers.
Even the senior members who have been studying in the barrier class for more than ten years often have to ask Karin for help when they encounter difficult problems.
Just as Karin stepped quickly out the door, Chiyo happened to walk towards her.
"Master..." Upon seeing the familiar figure before her, Karin's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile.
Immediately afterwards, she leaped forward and threw herself into Qianyao's arms.
Since Karin's body began to mature, she had not made such intimate gestures for a long time.
Faced with this sudden, enthusiastic embrace, Qianyao smiled and gently put his arms around Karin, steadily supporting her in his embrace.
After all, as time went by, the relationship between the two had changed, so there was no need to worry about anything anymore.
Chiyo didn't rush to let go of Karin's waist, and asked softly, "Karin, have you eaten?"
Upon hearing this, Karin's bright, lively eyes darted around twice.
Actually, she had already eaten while she was in the barrier department.
However, when faced with her master's question, she suddenly had the idea of having a meal alone with him.
Qianyao knew his apprentice's temperament like the back of his hand. He only had to glance at the little girl's eyes to know that she was planning to lie and get away with it.
So he raised his right hand and gently patted Karin's pert buttocks, then slowly lowered her, smiling as he said:
"Alright, stop dawdling, let's go for a walk. I haven't been back in so long, I wonder if there are any new foods on the streets."
After being patted and released by Chiyo, Karin's little face instantly turned slightly red with embarrassment.
Although she is usually quite cheerful and outgoing, such intimate gestures still made her feel shy.
However, Chiyo's practiced and natural movements aroused a sense of curiosity in Karin.
Her face was slightly flushed, and she held Qian Yao's arms tightly with both hands:
“Master, Sister Zhiyu told me that you have never been in a relationship.”
Upon hearing this, Qianyao smiled slightly, reached out his left hand to affectionately ruffle Xianglin's soft hair, and replied:
"Hmm...you're the first, and you're the last."
Having lived through two lifetimes, Qianyao could naturally utter such sweet words without hesitation.
When Karin heard Chiyo say those words, her originally bright eyes instantly became watery.
She clung to Qianyao's arm and said coquettishly:
"Master, can you hug me now?"
Seeing this, Qianyao couldn't help but show a doting smile and softly replied:
"You're all grown up now, why do you still act like a little kid and want to be hugged?"
However, although he said that, his tone did not imply any blame.
"I'm going to..."
Karin ignored Chiyo's teasing at all, instead hugging his arm tightly and swaying her body back and forth like a child.
Seeing how adorable Karin was, Chiyo smiled.
He slowly squatted down, then reached his hand under Karin's knees, and with a little effort, easily lifted her up and gently placed her on his shoulder.
At the same time, his other hand rested firmly on Karin's thigh, near her shoulder.
A soft, smooth sensation touched his skin, prompting Qianyao to inwardly marvel:
Sure enough, girls need to be a little chubby, it's more comfortable to hug them!
After being lifted onto Chiyo's shoulder, Karin cheered and jumped for joy, her face beaming with happiness and satisfaction.
At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she first stepped into the Ninja Academy. Back then, she always liked to sit on her master's shoulders and go home with him.
How could she not be overjoyed to experience this familiar feeling again?
Hearing Karin's clear and melodious laughter, Chiyo's mood was involuntarily infected.
Those wonderful memories he had shared with Karin flashed through his mind like scenes from a movie.
For a moment, a warm and sweet atmosphere filled the space between the master and his apprentice.
After a while, Karin suddenly asked:
"Master, should I continue working in the Barrier Department? I really want to be with you every day."
As she spoke, her face was filled with excitement. After all, having followed her master since childhood, being able to stay by his side at all times was her greatest wish.
Qianyao gently shook his head and slowly said, "You should just stay and continue working in the Barrier Department."
His gaze fell gently on Karin, and he added earnestly:
"No matter what happens, you must never lose your sense of self."
"Otherwise, you will gradually lose your unique charm."
"We have a long road ahead of us, so there's no need to rush to be together every day."
Karin blinked her big, bright eyes. Although she didn't fully understand what Chiyo was saying, she still obediently nodded in response:
"I understand, Master. I will listen to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she washed her nose, excitedly pointed in a certain direction, and shouted:
"Master, I smell the aroma of fried rice cakes coming from ahead!"
Qianyao looked in the direction she pointed, smiled slightly, and replied affectionately:
"Okay, then I'll take you there to try some fried rice cakes."
Having said that, the master and disciple walked together toward the place that emitted the enticing fragrance...
