Chat Group New Member, Karin Uzumaki

Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

A water dragon, over ten meters long, shot straight through. Tenten, Ino, and Hinata had nowhere to escape. With a chorus of surprised cries, the three were sent flying out almost simultaneously.

The four agreed to meet at the training grounds. Initially, Tenten fought Mo Chen while Hinata and Ino watched from the side.

But soon, the scene from the future videos completely reenacted itself.

Tenten's attack was blocked by Mo Chen's Earth Style: Earth Wall, and then he counterattacked with the Water Dragon Bullet. Tenten was defeated.

It was then that Tenten confirmed one thing: regardless of whether she had any buff effects or not, it made no difference against Mo Chen.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Tenten immediately invited Ino and Hinata. The three joined forces to fight Mo Chen.

Unfortunately, even their combined strength only lasted two more rounds before they were ultimately blasted away by the Water Dragon Bullet.

Seeing the three girls completely soaked, Mo Chen couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Even though Ino and Hinata had buff effects, they were still only at the level of Ninja Academy graduates. As newly made Genin, they didn't have much combat experience yet.

Although the buff effects strengthened their stats, they didn't significantly improve their actual combat effectiveness in the moment.

Tenten bringing them along couldn't be called dragging him down; it was more like a negligible contribution.

"Mo Chen, you're just too strong! Did you really just learn this Ninjutsu today?"

Ino, with Mo Chen's help, stood up from the water. Completely unconcerned about her revealing attire, she looked at Mo Chen with admiration.

Mo Chen wielded several Earth Style and Water Style Ninjutsu with incredible proficiency, showing no signs that he had just learned them.

"I feel like even if I were twice as strong, I'd still be completely defenseless against you. The gap is so huge it's making me a little discouraged!" Tenten was then pulled up by Mo Chen.

Her partially revealing clothes made her feel awkward and shy, but seeing Ino's nonchalant attitude, she felt she couldn't lose either, so she didn't cover herself like she did in the future videos.

Hinata, who was pulled up last, was not as open. The moment she stood up, she immediately shrank behind Tenten and Ino, her face flushed red with embarrassment, almost turning into a steam engine.

"I just have a bit more talent!" Mo Chen said with a smile. "I believe if you keep working hard, you'll catch up to me soon."

If they hadn't seen the latter half of the future videos, Ino and the others would have actually believed him.

Ino rolled her eyes and said, "I don't dare to think about catching up to you in strength, but when it comes to love, I have some confidence!"

As she spoke, Ino winked and sidled up to Mo Chen, grinning. "So, aren't I in great shape? Do you have any thoughts about me?"

Mo Chen was taken aback, a little embarrassed. "Ino, why are you suddenly talking about this..."

Tenten's mouth twitched, and she quickly squeezed between Ino and Mo Chen, interrupting. "Hey, hey, hey, don't just butt in! We're talking about training right now, be serious!"

Tenten shot Ino a warning look. Their relationship with Mo Chen wasn't at that stage yet, and joking around like that could easily set them back.

Ino also realized she had been a bit too eager. She stuck out her pink tongue. "Just kidding! Mo Chen definitely doesn't mind, right?"

Mo Chen cleared his throat twice and didn't answer, appearing somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, this was just an act for the three young girls.

He was playing the role of a pure, innocent young man – not making a move, not rejecting, but controlling the pace and not progressing too quickly.

Seeing this, Tenten glared at Ino again, feeling a little helpless. "We're all soaked. We need to go back and change. Also, it's getting late, so let's call it a day!"

They could have chatted for a bit longer, but the atmosphere had been ruined.

Tenten could only say goodbye to Mo Chen and forcibly dragged Ino and Hinata away.

Mo Chen naturally didn't say anything more. After the three girls left, he went home alone.

[Ding! Chat Group member slot +1, randomly selecting new member, please wait...]

Just as Mo Chen lay on his bed after a shower, a system prompt sounded.

"New member? How did a new member suddenly appear? I wonder who it could be?" Mo Chen felt a surge of anticipation.

Ideally, it would be someone more mature. Then, to increase the group level and get buff effects, wouldn't that be amazing?

[Ding! Selection complete, new member is 'Karin Uzumaki', pulling member into the group.]

[Ding! Karin Uzumaki has joined the Chat Group!]

"Karin?" Mo Chen blinked, slightly disappointed. Another young bud!

However, seeing the name, Mo Chen suddenly remembered that around this time, Karin was likely in dire straits.

Thinking of this, his expression turned serious.

Meanwhile, the Konoha's Four Flowers, who had each returned home, also received the last prompt from the group system.

[Ino Yamanaka: Huh? A new member? I thought this Chat Group only had us. So, new people can join too!]

[Tenten: Uzumaki? Is she from our village?]

[Hinata Hyuga: I've never heard that name before.]

[Ino Yamanaka: @Karin Uzumaki, newcomer, introduce yourself first!]

In Kusagakure, on the outskirts of the village, in a dilapidated wooden hut.

In a dark corner, a little girl with red hair was curled up on the floor beside the bed, hugging her knees and burying her head deep within them.

"Mom!" the red-haired girl whispered, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, as if she saw a strange image.

The red-haired girl quickly took off her glasses, wiped her eyes, and shook her head.

When she looked again, the strange image was still there.

[Ding! Karin Uzumaki has successfully joined the Mo Chen's Heroine Group, congratulations on becoming a member of the Mo Chen's Female Lead Group, please consciously abide by the following rules:]

[1. Mo Chen is the Group Leader of this group. The Group Leader's interests are paramount. Group members are absolutely not allowed to do anything detrimental to the Group Leader!]

[2...]

"What... is this?" The red-haired girl listened to the prompt sound in her ears, confirming it wasn't an illusion, and felt a sense of panic.

She was very sensitive and timid right now.

The sudden appearance of this unknown thing scared her, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, burying her head in her knees again.

But even so, the strange image was still clearly visible.

And she could also see the chat records in the group, someone was asking her to speak.

[Karin Uzumaki: I... I am Karin...]

[Ino Yamanaka: I know you're Karin Uzumaki, isn't your name displayed above? I want to ask about your identity!]

[Tenten: Don't be nervous, we're not bad people, and we won't do anything to you. If you have any questions, we can answer them for you first. Forget it, I'll tell you about this Chat Group first!]

[Tenten: ¥%#@#￥%...%!@~!@...&]

[Tenten: So, do you understand now?]

[Ino Yamanaka: Violating the group rules will result in punishment. Because someone has violated them before, they received a very strong electric shock. I certainly don't want to experience that again. So Karin, don't worry, we won't harm you.]

[Hinata Hyuga: Yeah, only a few people can join this Chat Group, so everyone who can join is one of us.]

[Karin Uzumaki: R-really? Are you Konoha Ninja? But, I... I'm in Kusagakure...]

[Ding! The number of group members has reached 5, the Chat Group has unlocked a new function!]
