Chapter 40 Main Mission 1: Xiao Organization is Targeted

After the test, Kakashi took the three students to take on some agricultural and sideline tasks. When Shingon first proposed the concept of agricultural and sideline tasks, it was mainly to utilize the ninja's productivity that far exceeded that of ordinary people. Now this type of task is just suitable for training newly graduated Genin.

Three people who just graduated from the Ninja School were taken to do farm work for an afternoon. They found that being a ninja was not as cool as they had imagined.

On the way home at night, Naruto pestered Kakashi: "Hey, Mr. Kakashi, when are you going to take us to do some awesome missions?"

Kakashi lowered his eyes and looked at Naruto. He had watched Naruto grow up, as well as Sasuke. Over the years, he had watched the two children compete with each other and chase after their growth. With their current strength, they are indeed capable of taking on some other missions, but a ninja's mission cannot be solved by strength alone. It also requires sufficient insight, analytical skills, and perseverance to not give up.

Naruto and Sasuke's character still needs to be honed. In addition, there is Haruno Sakura. Haruno Sakura had excellent theoretical performance in the ninja school, but her practical ability still needs to be strengthened.

Although the three-man team complemented each other, it was still too early for them to face a real ninja battle.

Although he had a plan in mind, Kakashi also knew that if he didn't give Naruto an answer, he would probably be pestered for a long time, so he said, "Wait until the next time Minato-sensei and his wife come back."

A few years ago, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, as well as the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki of the Takigakure Village were attacked one after another. After hearing about this, Namikaze Minato conducted an in-depth investigation. After all, Kushina and Naruto were also Jinchuriki, so he had to pay attention to them.

The results of the investigation ultimately pointed to a mysterious organization that Minato Namikaze had once investigated. Most of the members of this organization were rebel ninjas from various countries. He had previously been tracking down this organization, but the clues were cut off at the Hidden Mist Village.

Minato Namikaze once suspected that the organization's headquarters was in the Hidden Mist Village, but in addition to searching for alien ruins over the years, he has also been secretly investigating the Hidden Mist Village. In the end, he discovered that the Hidden Mist Village might have been used by that organization.

By recruiting rebellious ninjas from various countries, attacking the tailed beasts in each village, and even controlling the entire Mist Village, Minato Namikaze intuitively felt that this organization must be plotting something very important, and he also had a vague hunch that this organization might be related to alien forces, but he had not found definite evidence yet.

Although the evidence has not been found yet, Minato Namikaze's tracking over the years has not been in vain. He discovered that in addition to the masked ninja who sneaked into Konoha and released the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Itachi, whom he had been tracking, may have also joined this organization.

Orochimaru, who was also a traitor to Konoha, also joined this organization. The news about Orochimaru was brought back by Jiraiya. Jiraiya and Orochimaru were classmates of the same period. The two of them, together with Tsuna, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, were known as the Three Ninjas of Konoha.

After learning that Jiraiya was also tracking down this organization, Minato Namikaze exchanged clues with Jiraiya and eventually narrowed the scope to the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain is a small country with a very special geographical location. It is located in the gap between three major countries. It unfortunately fell into the battlefields of the big countries in several ninja wars. But even so, this country has not been destroyed in the war. One of the reasons is that there is a ninja who is called a demigod in the Hidden Rain Village of the Land of Rain. The name of this ninja is Hanzo.

The title of the Three Ninjas of Konoha was originally given by Hanzo.

Therefore, if Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya want to investigate the Rain Country, they have to be wary of Hanzo's existence. However, this is not the most difficult thing to deal with. The most difficult thing is that after the end of the Third World War, the Rain Country has been in a closed state. Their investigation will be seriously hindered by the Rain Country's closed policy.

This is indeed the case. It is precisely because of the closure of the Rain Country that Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya do not know that Hanzo has already died. Now the person in charge of the Rain Country is actually Nagato, and Nagato, like Minato Namikaze, was once a disciple of Jiraiya.

In other words, after going around in circles, we actually all know each other. It can even be said that 90% of the grudges in the ninja world are related to Konoha. After all, this is the protagonist's village.

In short, because he has to investigate the Rain Country and the Hidden Rain Village, Minato Namikaze will not be able to come back in a short time, and Kushina is staying in an alien ruins, deciphering the runes of the ruins, and will not be able to come back in a short time either.

These people didn't know, so they were temporarily comforted by Kakashian.

But Kakashi didn't feel relaxed. There had been no peace outside in recent years, and Konoha Village was actually not very stable either.

Just a few years ago, the leader of Konoha's Root, Danzo Shimura, suddenly lost something. The Root people investigated in the village, which made many families in the village dissatisfied.

What Danzo Shimura was looking for was nothing else but the eyes that he had snatched from Shisui. Because he was hypnotized by Shingon's "Go to sleep", he completely forgot about this incident and just thought that someone had stolen them. The person who could approach him quietly and take away his eyes was most likely a ninja from Konoha's main village, so Danzo Shimura focused on investigating the large families in the village that were capable of doing this.

Naturally, his behavior aroused dissatisfaction, and his investigation was doomed to be fruitless. In the end, he even suspected the Third Hokage and the two elders. Due to his suspicion all day long, Shimura Danzo became even more gloomy. The final result was that the top leaders of Konoha jointly expelled the Root from the Commerce Department. The escort of Konoha's cargo was no longer the responsibility of the Root, but was replaced by the Anbu under the Third Hokage.

After the Uchiha incident, the Third Hokage stopped expanding Konoha's agricultural and sideline industries for the sake of stability, and there was even a trend of reduction. After all, the Uchiha family had set an example of a coup, and it was difficult to ensure that other families would not have the same idea after accumulating enough capital.

Although Konoha has reduced the scale of agricultural and sideline business development, a good foundation has been laid over the years and the operation of the Ministry of Commerce has become very mature. The products produced by Konoha ninjas are not only of good quality but also cheap. A large number of products are sold to other major countries, especially the Wind Kingdom in the desert, through the Ministry of Commerce disguised as a Fire Kingdom caravan.

The circulation of goods promoted the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. At the same time, the relationship between the two countries' ninja villages, Sand Village and Konoha Village, also began to gradually improve.

After discussion, the Kages of the two ninja villages decided to jointly hold the Chunin Exams this year, and the location was chosen to be Konoha Village.

In addition to the easing of relations between the ninja villages, the biggest benefit that the Ministry of Commerce brought to Konoha was intelligence. After all, merchants were well-informed.

Previously, Minato Namikaze found out that the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails Jinchuriki were attacked because at that time, Mangon's eyes had not yet been upgraded to four magatama, and the hypnotic mouth-to-mouth technique "Go to sleep" had not yet been upgraded. Mangon and Itachi only relied on Itachi's Mangekyō, and although they could obtain the Tailed Beasts' Chakra without fighting, they could not avoid being noticed by the Jinchuriki.

After Mangon was able to use the mouth-to-mouth tactic of "Go to sleep", for example, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was hypnotized by him, so there was no noise. Although the Eight-Tails and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki did not remember the appearance of Mangon and Itachi, the fact that a large part of the Eight-Tails' chakra was inexplicably lost could not be concealed.

Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Village was on alert for a period of time. Namikaze Minato did not find out this, but the Commerce Department, which traveled around in the name of the Fire Country Caravan, heard the news. However, the Commerce Department did not take the news seriously at the time, because in the eyes of most ninjas, it was normal for the tailed beast to go crazy and leak chakra occasionally. The people in the Commerce Department just thought that the Hidden Cloud Village was alarmed.

Shingen had no idea what kind of storm his debt collection behavior had caused in the ninja world. At this moment, he was knocking on the door of the next room with a cup of milk tea.

Kakashi opened the door and saw milk tea. He didn't ask the purpose of Zhenyan's visit and just took it. After all, he was always short of blue.

"Brother Shingon." Naruto came over and held his forehead with both hands to show Shingon, "I am a ninja now too."

Shingon looked at the forehead protector on Naruto's forehead, and the first thing he thought of was that Naruto was the protagonist of the world. Becoming a ninja meant that Naruto would begin to endure tests, and the tests in the ninja world were usually accompanied by life and death.

Shingo is not really good at thinking. For example, why does this world let children go to the battlefield? Why do children have to experience life-and-death battles? He is a man of action. He likes to speak with actions. For example, he hired Zabuza and Haku not only to complete the main mission, but also because it can ensure the safety of Naruto and Sasuke.

As for next time, Zhenyan has also considered it. Xiao’s organization has so many talented people. He can hire one or two at a time to give the two children experience. After everyone takes turns, the two children will almost reach the full level. Then he, as a parent, can rest assured.

Thinking about this, Shingon smiled and said to Naruto: "Naruto is very powerful. He will definitely become an even more powerful ninja in the future."

Naruto also smiled, and looked at Zhenyan expectantly with his sky-blue eyes: "Hey, Brother Zhenyan, can I have some milk tea?"

Uchiha bubble milk tea is very popular among ninjas in Konoha, and this popular thing is very attractive to children, but Shingon stipulates that milk tea is an adult drink and cannot be sold to underage children.

Zhenyan had never thought that Mingren was planning to have bubble tea. He placed his hand on Mingren's head, gestured, and said, "You have to wait until you grow up to be as tall as Brother Zhenyan before you can drink it."

Naruto: “…”

Shinyan smiled silently, turned to Kakashi, and told him his earlier doubts: "Kakashi, why did you wear earplugs during the test?"

Kakashi glanced at Shingen, and his eyes seemed a little resentful?

Zhenyan tilted his head in confusion: "???"

"Teacher Kakashi is trying to prevent Sasuke and I from using mouth-to-mouth tactics." Naruto popped up and said.

Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

"But will talking affect the battle?" Shingon couldn't help but ask again. He always thought that his mouth-to-mouth was just a bit nagging, and a powerful ninja like Kakashi would not be affected at all.

Not only will it affect the battle, if you listen to it too much, even your life for a period of time will be affected. Kakashi stared with dead fish eyes, recalling that when Naruto and Sasuke were sparring in the ninja school, the two used mouth-to-mouth and true heart to fight each other.

Since the two of them were unable to control the scope of their words, their words were broadcasted as soon as they opened their mouths. The end result was that the entire class suffered, and even teacher Iruka was not spared.

After that, Naruto and Sasuke's class took a three-day break to rest.

After that, the Ninja Tool Shop started selling earplugs that blocked chakra...

...

After Zhenyan solved a doubt in his mind, he soon encountered a new problem.

Recently, the Hidden Rain Village has been targeted by someone, and the target of this target is none other than the Konoha's ninja Namikaze Minato, and Jiraiya, the disciple of the Third Hokage and Minato's teacher. Being targeted by these two people at the same time, the Akatsuki organization is under a lot of pressure.

After hearing what Bai Jue said, Zhenyan put on the uniform of the Xiao organization, put on the vortex mask, and came to the Xiao organization.

After arriving at the Xiao organization, Zhenyan first met Hei Zetsu and asked for details.

Ever since Mangon's eyes began to upgrade towards the direction of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hei Zetsu has become closer to and trusts Mangon, so when faced with Mangon's questions, he did not hide anything and told him everything about the Akatsuki organization.

Currently, although the Hidden Rain Village has been targeted, the other party has not found any clues yet, because Nagato has been using the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique to monitor the movements of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya who have sneaked into the Hidden Rain Village at any time, temporarily confusing the two of them, but this is not a long-term solution, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws over time.

Shingon doesn't want the Akatsuki organization to confront Konoha, because there are people he cares about on both sides. Now if he wants to avoid conflict between the two sides, he can only find a way to divert Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's attention from the Hidden Rain Village.

Shingon felt that it was time for him to embark on the road of debt collection again, and this time he could make a bigger fuss to divert the attention of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.

After hearing about Mangon's idea, Itachi was the first to raise an objection. Before, he and Mangon went to other ninja villages to absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts because the Ten-Tails in Mangon's body was going crazy and needed to be appeased. But now if Mangon stopped Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's investigation for the sake of the Akatsuki organization, then once Mangon's actions were discovered by Konoha, he would probably become a traitor like him.

This time, Zhenyan specially brought some bubble milk tea, and asked Bai Jue to give the rest to everyone, so he only had one cup left in his hand.

Shingon handed the remaining cup to Itachi, and then said, "But I can't just watch everyone in the Akatsuki organization lose their jobs."

Itachi: “…”

The Akatsuki organization is developing well now. Shingo has heard from Black Zetsu that the Akatsuki organization has recruited some new people in the past two years, one of whom is a blasting genius named Deidara, who was personally recruited from the Iwagakure Village by Itachi, the person in charge of personnel.

In the past, Shingon had given advice to help his uncle's organization develop, so now the Akatsuki organization, like Konoha, is also doing business in secret.

The current Akatsuki organization, in addition to the Human Resources Department headed by Itachi, also has the Finance Department headed by Kakuzu, the Publicity Department headed by Hidan, the Sales Department headed by Hoshigaki Kisame, the Information Department headed by Kurozetsu, the Logistics Department headed by Konan, and the Security Department headed by Pain.

The rest are the head of the transport department, which is also the president, Obito, and the core technical department. There are currently two people in charge of the technical department, namely Scorpion and Deidara.

Needless to say, Scorpio has great talents in puppetry and mechanics. The Xiao organization has currently established an Eternal Art Processing Factory, which is responsible for selling Scorpio products. Among Scorpio's products, the most popular is the bicycle.

Although running is the most common means of transportation for ninjas, there are still many civilians in this world who cannot use chakra. And never underestimate the purchasing power of civilians. After a few years, bicycles have become popular in the five major countries.

In addition, there is the newcomer Deidara. Deidara also wants to follow the example of Scorpion and open an instant art processing factory to sell his "explosion artwork", but he is troubled by the fact that the ninja world is currently in peacetime and there is no sales market, so he can only put it on hold for the time being.

In short, the current members of the Xiao organization each perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities, and everyone has demonstrated their own value.

Thinking of this, Shingon looked at the Suzaku ring on Itachi's ring finger, which represented the identity of the Akatsuki Organization, and the purple nail polish Itachi had applied to follow the local customs. He smiled and said, "Besides, Itachi likes this place too, right?"

Itachi: “…………”

Shingon had asked this when he met Black Zetsu, and Itachi had adapted well here, except that he had some conflicts with Orochimaru when he first arrived. As for the cause of the conflict, it all started with a can of eye cream.

At first, Shingon wanted to find someone to customize an eye cream for her, and her requirements were that it should be used for both beautifying and wrinkle removal. This request did not seem like something a ninja would ask, so Orochimaru thought that the person using the eye cream was a lady or daughter of a noble family. However, when they met, he found out that it was Itachi, his fellow villager from Konoha.

Orochimaru became interested in Itachi. Of course, he was mainly interested in Itachi's Sharingan. Orochimaru's Reincarnation of the Undying Corpse could transfer his spirit to other people's bodies. For this reason, his goal was to find himself a body with a powerful Blood Limit, and Itachi just met his requirements.

Based on the above reasons, Orochimaru was a little too "enthusiastic" when greeting Itachi, and the end result was that Itachi used illusion to cut off one of his arms.

After that, Orochimaru withdrew from the Akatsuki organization.

The colleagues who affected the unity of the organization have already resigned, and the current Akatsuki organization is a harmonious team. Shinon does not want to see conflicts between the Akatsuki organization and Konoha, so he has to embark on the road of debt collection again. At the very least, he has to divert Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's attention from the Hidden Rain Village.

Shingon started to absorb the tailed beast chakra again, and the people he was most happy to see were the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, both openly and secretly.

Black Zetsu, Obito, and Nagato, for various reasons, the true goals of the three are different, but they have achieved unity in the step of collecting the tailed beasts.

Although Obito and Nagato still had doubts about the mysterious member Mangon, the suggestions given by Mangon did help the Akatsuki organization earn a lot of money. Of course, the most important thing was that the Outer Path Demon Statue took the initiative to follow Mangon. Unless they wanted to break up with Mangon, they could only wait and see.

Of course, waiting and watching does not mean doing nothing. Most of the tailed beasts are in the hands of the five major ninja villages, and the Akatsuki organization's collection of tailed beasts will inevitably lead to confrontation with the five major ninja villages, so they must have enough capital to fight against the five major ninja villages. This is also the reason why the Akatsuki organization has been working hard to develop the economy in recent years.

Influenced by Black Zetsu, Shingon always believed that his debt collection was legitimate, not to mention that he only used chakra and never hurt anyone.

Therefore, Shingon never thought that the five major ninja villages would attack the Akatsuki organization because of this, nor did he think that this would lead to a fourth ninja world war.

At this time, all he was thinking about was helping his uncle's organization, which was also Itachi's workplace, to solve the troubles from his hometown.

Mangon is a man of great action, and this time he plans to follow the order and go to the Sand Village to find the One-Tail first. Itachi cannot convince Mangon, and is worried about him wandering around alone outside, so he has to follow him.

But Shingon refused because the Sand Village is Scorpion's hometown and it would be easier to ask Scorpion to lead the way, so this time he also planned to ask Scorpion Brother for help.

Scorpio had a good impression of Zhenyan, especially because Zhenyan provided him with new ideas for puppet modification, so when Zhenyan asked him for help again, he quickly agreed.

This time when the two went to the Sand Village, they no longer used ninjas to run, but rode on Scorpion's Hundred Transformers Puppet.

The Transformation Puppet was created based on the ideas provided by Zhenyan. Normally, it will be used as a protective shell to protect the scorpion's main body puppet. When on the road, it can be assembled into the shape of a convertible car. When fighting, the parts can be disassembled and reassembled to become several combat puppets. In short, it is very convenient and practical.

Zhenyan doesn't know how to play puppets. He only knows that traveling by car is extremely comfortable. He only needs to use a little chakra to drive the car, and he doesn't have to run anymore.

Scorpio had promised to leave a car for Zhenyan before, so Zhenyan now also has a car.

Zhenyan originally planned to buy it, but Scorpio said it was a free gift and thanked Zhenyan for giving him the suggestion.

"Brother Scorpio, thank you so much!" Zhenyan did not refuse. He felt that he could barely serve as a consultant in the Xiao organization.

"Do you want to learn puppetry?" Scorpion suddenly asked. Scorpion of the Red Sand is just a red-haired boy, but he is actually thirty years old. He looks young only because he has transformed his entire body into a puppet, leaving only a human heart. He can do this because he has been obsessed with puppetry since he was a child.

Now that Scorpio has met a young man he likes, he has the idea of ​​taking him in as a disciple, wanting to pass on his eternal art.

Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Brother Scorpio, I don't have any talent for cultivation."

Puppet control requires extremely precise chakra control. A skilled puppeteer can even control a puppet with one finger. Scorpio is at a level where he can control up to hundreds of puppets directly using his mind.

Shingon feels that he can only use puppets in idiot mode, such as bicycles and cars that can run by charging chakra. He really can't play with other ones, mainly because if he takes too much energy, he is afraid that his chakra will leak out, causing his mouth to get out of control.

Shingon looked at Scorpio's red hair and somehow thought of Gaara. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Scorpio-sama can accept a disciple from the Sand Village."

Scorpion nodded and said nothing more.

With the puppet car, the two of them traveled much faster. This time, just like last time, they took advantage of the dark and windy night and successfully sneaked into the village through the informant left by Scorpion in the Sand Village. However, this time they were not as lucky as last time. As soon as Shingon sneaked into Gaara's room, he found that Gaara was not the only one in the room.

The two extra people looked slightly older than Gaara, one was a girl with four small braids, and the other was a boy with strange paint on his face. The two were Gaara's sister Temari and brother Kankuro.

"Who are you?" Temari and Kankuro took defensive actions almost the moment they saw the truth. From the helmets they were wearing, it was obvious that they were ninjas.

Shingon was not panicked. He just looked at Gaara. After not seeing him for a few years, Gaara had grown a lot and there was a big gourd made of sand behind him.

"Nice to meet you again, Gaara." Although he was wearing a mask, Shingen still smiled as usual when he greeted him.

Gaara also recognized Shingo, and his originally frozen face suddenly became lively, as if spring had arrived.

Seeing Gaara actually walking towards the enemy without any precautions, Temari and Kankuro reached out from the left and right to stop him: "Gaara..."

At this moment, the scorpion guarding the door heard the noise and came in to ask Zhenyan: "Do you need help?"

"No, no." Zhenyan said to Scorpion, "Brother Scorpion, just wait for me outside."

Scorpion glanced at the three people in the room, his gaze lingered on the puppet on Kankuro's back for a moment, then he retreated again.

"Get out of the way." Gaara also spoke at this time, obviously addressing Temari and Kankuro who were blocking him, and at the same time his face revealed a hostility that was not in line with his age.

Temari and Kankuro subconsciously gave way due to Gaara's momentum.

Shingon looked at Gaara who was walking over and asked, "Didn't you use eye cream? Why are your dark circles still so heavy? Or did Xiaoyi disturb your sleep again?"

After hearing so many questions from Mangon, Gaara didn't know which one to answer. He used eye cream, but his dark circles were hereditary and could not be removed. As for the One-Tailed Shukaku, it fell asleep for a long time after Mangon left, and later became mad when it woke up. It wanted to settle accounts with Mangon, but it stopped when it couldn't find him. However, Shukaku didn't make any more noises about occupying his body and killing all humans after that, but the people in the village still regarded him as a monster, were afraid of him, and avoided him...

Seeing that Gaara was dumbfounded and had no reaction, Shingon smiled again and said, "Let me go see Xiaoyi again."

"Yeah." Gaara nodded in response this time.

Behind Gaara, Temari and Kankuro stared in disbelief, because in their impression, Gaara was cold, violent, cruel and murderous. This was the first time they saw Gaara behave obediently...

Shingo originally wanted to use the power of the Sharingan to directly enter the sealed space of the One-Tail, but Gaara suddenly stretched out his hand.

Shingon was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he smiled silently, then retracted his eye power, held Gaara's hand like he did the first time, and entered the sealed space by tracking the One-Tail's chakra.

In the sealed space, Shouhe never expected to see Zhenyan again. The big cat was stunned for several seconds before he said, "It's you!"

"Hello, Xiaoyi, we meet again." Zhenyan is used to being polite before being aggressive, "If it is convenient, I hope you can return some of your chakra."

Shouhe learned his lesson this time. He did not spray the beast-tail jade at Zhenyan. Instead, he waved his claws and sand rushed towards Zhenyan like waves.

"Stop." Zhenyan only said one word, and the surging sand stopped instantly. Not only that, Shuhe, who was launching the sand, seemed to have pressed the pause button and turned into a motionless sand sculpture cat.

"Take the sand back." Zhenyan said again, and the sand released by Shouhe returned to Shouhe's body as if it was reversed.

"You...you..." Shouhe didn't understand why his behavior got out of control. He stared at Zhenyan for a long time before he spoke, "What on earth did you do to me?"

"I've already said it, I'm only here to ask for chakra." Zhenyan didn't intend to explain the matter of the mouth-to-mouth trick. He looked at the big beetle cat and said, "Xiaoyi, can you learn from Xiao□□ and take the initiative to cooperate?"

The last time he asked Kurama for chakra, Kurama tacitly cooperated.

"Don't compare me with that stupid fox!" Shouhe was too concerned about his reputation and refused to cooperate.

Zhenyan sighed helplessly and said, "Then don't move."

Shouhe was frozen again, with only a pair of flaming eyes staring at Zhenyan.

Shingon turned to Gaara and asked, "Is Xiaoyi still disturbing your sleep?"

Looking at Shukaku who was completely helpless in front of Mangon, Gaara thought for a while and finally shook his head. Shukaku did not disturb his sleep, and he also understood what Mangon meant. He didn't want Shukaku to sleep again, because in the entire Sand Village, only Shukaku knew of Mangon's existence, and only Shukaku could talk to him about Mangon occasionally.

After getting Gaara's answer, Shingon did not charge any more interest this time. He took the chakra that should be taken, and then he left the sealed space with Gaara.

Outside the sealed space, Temari and Kankuro, unaware of the situation, did not dare to move forward due to Gaara's previous warning. They stopped where they were, looking at Shingon and Gaara with suspicion.

After Shingo came out, he glanced at the two of them. The two of them had previously stopped Gaara from approaching him, probably out of concern, but he didn't know why his relationship with Gaara was so stiff.

Shingon thought of Gaara's fierce attitude towards the two men, and he couldn't help but say to Gaara, "You should get along well with your friends."

Gaara glanced at the two of them. He wanted to say that they were not friends. Friends would not be afraid of him or avoid him... But when he noticed Shingo's gaze, he nodded and agreed, "I understand."

Shingen smiled and finally said, "See you next time, Gaara."

After saying that, Shingon was ready to leave, but after he took two steps, he felt something pulling his clothes. He turned around and saw a strand of sand pulling at the corner of his clothes, and that strand of sand was flowing out from the gourd behind Gaara.

Shingo looked at Gaara in confusion, and Gaara looked a little shy. He hesitated to speak, and finally said, "When is the next time?"

Shingon's gaze turned to Gaara's gourd. He had noticed before that Gaara's gourd was tied with a forehead guard representing his ninja identity, which meant that Gaara had also become a ninja.

He had heard that Konoha Village and Sand Village would jointly hold the Chunin Exam, and thought Gaara would also participate.

"Very soon." said Zhenyan.

Soon, Shingon and Scorpion left the Sand Village again. He did not hypnotize Temari and Kankuro who knew about it, because this time he wanted to create some noise to divert the attention of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.

However, what Shingo didn't know was that after he left, Gaara fiercely warned Temari and Kankuro: "Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill you!"

Temari: “…”

Kankuro: “…”!
