Konoha's Strongest Empress

"Master, what did you just say?" Izumi said with a look of astonishment, not believing what she heard.

"I said I want to adopt Ziyuan as my adopted daughter." Qiying hugged Ziyuan with one hand and held Ziyuan's cheek with the other.

"No way"

"Wait a minute, Lord Shion is the next miko of the Kingdom of Ghosts. You cannot do this without Lord Maitreya's consent." People in the Kingdom of Ghosts began to discuss and continued to express their disapproval.

"Master, this kind of matter cannot be decided casually. You should know that in the Uchiha clan, no heirs other than the clan are allowed, even if they are adopted daughters." Itachi seemed relatively calm among everyone, and walked to Qiying Sermon beside.

"I know."

"Since you know, why bother?" Itachi frowned slightly. He really didn't understand the meaning of Qiying's actions.

Following Itachi's words, the voices of opposition from the surrounding people became louder.

Everyone is like this, really

After Qi Ying curled her lips, she looked at Ziyuan in her arms, then glanced slightly, and looked at the people who kept making objecting voices behind her.

The sharp peripheral vision from the corner of his eyes immediately frightened everyone.

"You keep saying that Shion is the next miko. Who decided this? Do the children of mikos have to become miko?"

"It's ridiculous for you adults to let a baby who is still in its infancy take on the duties of a witch."

"This is the long-standing tradition of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Lord Maitreya also knew this and became a miko. Without the existence of miko, there will be no way to repel the monsters when they appear again."

"That's right, and Master Shion is not a descendant of your clan, so he will definitely be criticized everywhere."

Listening to these people's words, Qi Ying couldn't help sneering.

Although I don't know which sentence of these people is true and which sentence is false, I can hear a common point that they want to express.

That is to rely on the power of the priestess to save one's own life. Without the priestess, the ghost country will be in a much worse situation than before.

Therefore, these talents strongly opposed Zi Yuan's leaving the kingdom of ghosts and the fate of a witch. To put it bluntly, most of the reasons were selfish.

It's a pity that Qiying doesn't like this.

"You don't have to worry about Shion's situation next to me. I can use Sakura-hime's reputation to guarantee this. Also, do you think you have the strength to protect Shion who has not yet grown up?"

Qi Ying's question made everyone fall into silence.

Huang Quan's attack this time proved one thing, the Kingdom of Ghosts was helpless in the face of ninjas, if Maitreya hadn't hidden Zi Yuan earlier, it is estimated that Zi Yuan had died in the hands of Huang Quan.

No one can guarantee when the next attack will come, and when the monsters will be resurrected. As long as people's evil thoughts and greed still exist in this world, the monsters will continue to be resurrected.

If Ziyuan was strangled in the cradle before it grew up, then the priestess clan would really be completely cut off.

Although the people around were speechless to Qi Ying's question, their faces were still full of reluctance.

"If Maitreya's consent is required to take Ziyuan away, then that person is me." Qiying curled her lips and muttered, then took out the Xingyao Crystal from her pocket and showed it in front of everyone.

Following a burst of purple light, a huge chakra overflowed from the Xingyao crystal to the surroundings, and then gradually attached to Qiying's arm.

"The Star Crystal actually accepted someone other than a witch"

"Impossible, there has never been such a thing."

After seeing the chakra on Qi Ying's arm, the people in the ghost country all showed shocking expressions, and their pupils dilated extremely.

"This proof is enough." Qi Ying put away the Xingyao Crystal after preaching lightly, turned around and winked at Itachi and Izumi, indicating that it was time to leave the ghost country.

At the end, Qiying glanced at the dead Maitreya and thought to herself: "The fate of the witch clan is really boring. I will break this fate."

For Maitreya, Wenxin and the former witches, the long fate should come to an end.

After that, Qiying, Itachi and Izumi met up with Minato and the others and returned to Konoha Village together.

Minato was a little surprised at first that Qi Ying adopted Shion, but after he thought that Qi Ying was the one who made this decision, he chose to acquiesce in this matter.

But the biggest difficulty is not Minato, but the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, the current Uchiha clan belongs to the autonomous region in Konoha, so some things can be counted without what Hokage said.

At this moment, Qiying is sitting and talking with Fuyue face to face at Itachi's home, while Ziyuan is handed over to Itachi and Izumi for the time being.

It has to be mentioned here that Itachi is not a complete brother-in-law. In terms of carefulness in taking care of Shion, it is no different from the degree of care for Sasuke in the original book.

Of course, there are other reasons mixed in, after all, this is the adopted daughter of his master, and neither Itachi nor Izumi dare to neglect her in the slightest.

"Is this what you want to talk to me about?" Fugaku sat cross-legged with a serious face, his hands folded in front of his chest, and his eyes slightly closed.

"Well, that's it."

"Of course, even if you object, I will adopt Shion. At worst, I will move to live in Konoha Village, so that the Uchiha clan will not be affected." Qi Ying curled her lips and showed a harmless smile.

Fugaku frowned slightly after hearing this, and his tone was a little unhappy: "Are you threatening me?"

"Well, it depends on how you understand it. If you think it's a threat, it's a threat, Lord Patriarch." Qi Ying still had a smile on his face, which made Fuyue extremely depressed.

At present, the Uchiha clan’s status in Konoha Village is much better than before, and since Minato took office, Konoha’s management of the Uchiha clan has been much looser. Generally speaking, there is more trust in the Uchiha clan .

All of this is inseparable from the help brought by Qi Ying. The reputation of Sakura Ji in Muye Village is well known. The villagers and ninjas are full of admiration for Sakura Ji. Qi Ying's status even exceeds After leaving Fuyue, the high-level officials on Danzo's side have not made a strategy against the Uchiha clan for a long time, and the reason is also because they are afraid of the existence of Sakura Hime.

If I and Qi Ying fall out at this juncture, many high-level people who have ideas about the Uchiha clan will take action, and there will be overwhelming troubles coming.

Although Fu Yue did not want to accept Qi Ying's request very much in his heart, no, it should be a request, but after considering various interests, he still chose to nod and acquiesce.

"Okay, I agree with this matter, but don't forget one thing, you are the Uchiha Qiying of the Uchiha clan, don't do things that make the clan feel ashamed." Fuyue looked at Qiying with sharp eyes , as if issuing a warning.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Patriarch, for your instruction, then I'll go first." After bowing politely, Qi Ying got up and left Fu Yue's room.

After the sliding door was closed, Fu Yue, who was sitting on the seat, showed a gloomy expression, and hit the tatami with a heavy fist.

"hateful"
