Those looks...
Oh, right. Chinatsu's appearance had changed, after all. Her long black hair had turned silvery white, a red Rinne Sharingan had appeared on her forehead, and the chakra she gave off was just like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's. It was only natural for people to mistake her for an accomplice of Momoshiki and Isshiki.
Having Naruto and Sasuke beside her did nothing to help. They probably thought she had kidnapped the two of them.
Chinatsu sighed inwardly in resignation. It wasn't as though she was permanently stuck in this form, but she really couldn't return to her original appearance anytime soon.
I'll just have to explain. Hopefully, they'll listen to me.
Chinatsu cleared her throat softly. Just as she opened her mouth to explain, someone carrying a scythe came charging out of the crowd in great, lurching strides.
"What's wrong with all of you?! You don't even recognize the Miss anymore! As expected, I'm still her number one servant. Every last one of you is unqualified!"
Hidan leaped out of the crowd and, right before everyone's eyes, hurried over to Chinatsu. It was as though he couldn't even see the changes in her appearance.
"Hidan, aren't you surprised that I look different?"
"Different? Oh, oh, oh, you mean that little change? That's why I said they're amateurs! The Miss is the Miss. How could I possibly fail to recognize you?"
Hidan chuckled, treating Chinatsu exactly as he always had.
Everyone around them stared at Hidan's reaction, momentarily stunned. After a few seconds of silence, they all let out an involuntary sigh of relief.
Even Hidan, the self-proclaimed number one servant of Chinatsu, had confirmed that she was the real deal. If they kept hesitating and questioning her, that would be a bit... well.
"Just what you'd expect from that guy..."
