As the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, Gaara has been restricted for a long time. Since he was captured during the attack on Konoha Village last year, the Sand Village paid a heavy price to bring the One-Tail back to the village.

Since its birth, the terror and trouble that the One-Tailed Shukaku has brought to its compatriots far exceeds the protection that its combat power has brought to the Sand Village. Not only that, Gaara's past behavior has also made the Sand Ninjas deeply chilled.

Although Gaara's behavior has improved significantly during this period, it is not possible to change the inherent impression in people's minds overnight.

It is really ironic that the son of the former Kazekage is not only restricted in his movements, but can only meet his brother Kankuro and sister Temari without permission. Fortunately, Gaara did not show any dissatisfaction, but just accepted the arrangement silently, which also made those who once lived in fear of Gaara's bloody fear feel relieved.

"Gaara, someone from Konoha Village is coming!"

Temari, who dreams of being a good sister, always takes time to talk to Gaara about things outside. Although she has noticed that some changes have taken place after Gaara came back, she can't rely on these to convince others to treat her brother well. After all, no one can be sure whether Gaara's changes are good or bad.

"The people who came are Konoha's Jonin Mizuki and his students. I was wondering if I could ask Konoha's people to intercede for me, maybe the people in the village would change their attitude."

Gaara, who was sitting upright and watching the wind and sand outside the window, rarely spoke:

“You don’t need to do anything!”

"But……"

"I'm fine!"

No matter what, Gaara is also a Jinchuriki. When the village is in turmoil, no one dares to make Gaara too unhappy, no matter how unhappy they are.

This is one of the reasons why Gaara is in danger. There are rumors that someone is secretly trying to replace the One-Tail with a Jinchūriki, but the situation is too chaotic to achieve anything. If this were to happen, Gaara would be dead. No Jinchūriki could survive without the life-saving tailed beast in his body.

In fact, anyone with a little common sense would not believe such nonsense. This is just a means for people with ulterior motives to achieve their goals. If it were that simple, things would be easy.

This is also the reason why some people spare no effort to contact Mizuki, a famous master of sealing techniques. Even if the chance of Konoha agreeing to Mizuki's action is extremely low, as long as they can put pressure on the enemy, it is enough. And this is also the reason why Mizuki is too lazy to negotiate too deeply with the upper echelons of the Sand Village. If there is a slight mistake, it may lead to misunderstanding.

If we were to say who is in the most embarrassing situation for a political group, it would undoubtedly be the old and young people left behind when the leader dies unexpectedly.

If there is no one to support it, it may have to live in fear until all traces of the past are erased, and then start over, and have to endure the fear and suppression of its successors.

The three children of the Fourth Kazekage were lucky in that their teacher was Maki, the real power in the Sand Village, and they also had the vague support of Chiyo and Ebizo. So they didn't need to do anything at all, as long as they grew up peacefully and strengthened their strength, and contributed their strength when the village needed it, then no one would dare to ignore their status.

"Just wait quietly and interact normally with the Leaf Village. It's not appropriate for me to meet Mizuki Jonin right now."

The top leaders of the Sand Village already knew that Mizuki had done something to Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. At this time, they would definitely not let Gaara, who could not be trusted, come into contact with such a strong man who was good at sealing techniques. If something unexpected happened, it would be terrible.

"Got it, Gaara."

Temari was a little worried. Not only Gaara, but Kankuro's recent behavior also made Temari a little uneasy. When you haven't established a firm foothold, doing more is not a good thing.

It's just that if possible, Temari also wants to do something. Others can sit back and watch, but as a family member, she will definitely not give up.

"Looks like I need to ask Mr. Maki for help, or even meet Granny Chiyo!"

These two are the only ones who can help the three siblings.

…

The next morning, Mizuki brought three students to the Ninja School in Sand Village.

It's called a school, but it's actually more like a small military base. The resource-poor Sand Village has to adopt elite teaching, so it's understandable that they adopt a more efficient way of running a school. Although it's certainly far inferior to Konoha Village, it's still much better than the Mist Village that Mizuki has seen.

“What a huge training ground!”

Compared to the number of students, this huge school ground is indeed a bit wasteful.

"Maybe it's needed for actual combat!"

It was also the first time that Shuimu saw such a scene.

"The students here, at the Genin and Chunin stages, actually have better combat abilities than the Konoha ninjas, which is a bit similar to the Hidden Mist Village in the past!"

One is elite education, the other is bloody elimination. In the starting stage, it is hard not to be strong, and the weak will either be eliminated or die.

In other words, the number of ninjas greatly limits the overall strength of these two ninja villages.

Such a large training ground can obviously accommodate more students for actual combat training at the same time. The impact of actual combat ability is undoubtedly much greater at the level below Chunin, which can be overcome by experience and hard work. However, the success rate of Chunin promoted to Jonin in Sand Village is not as good as that of Konoha Village. A solid and comprehensive foundation will show its strength at this time, so Konoha Village not only has many Jonin and Special Jonin, but also has strong strength.

Inuzuka Kiba asked unconvincedly, "If you are so strong, why did you perform so poorly in the Chunin Exam?"

Mizuki smiled.

"There will always be a gap between the old and the new. You have all seen the strength of Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari last year. Are they worse than the ninjas of Konoha? If you are not convinced, go back and watch this year's Chunin Exam and you will find that not all Genin in Konoha are strong."

“Really?”

Inuzuka Kiba was unable to refute and watched several Sand Ninjas doing basic exercises under the guidance of their teacher!

"Look, Teacher Mizuki, there's a big guy who's being excluded. He's not young anymore, but he hasn't graduated yet. Didn't you say that the Genin of Sand Village is very strong? But there's such a loser!"

"Waste?"

Mizuki ruffled Inuzuka Kiba's messy hair.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Naruto is still the last one. Didn't you lose the fight?"

The Genin who was laughed at by Inuzuka Kiba looked to be over fifteen years old. At this age, it would not be surprising for him to become a Chunin if he had a little qualification. I didn't expect that he was still studying in the Ninja School.

Mizuki also noticed this person. He had excellent physical fitness. The only problem seemed to be that, like Rock Lee, his chakra attributes were not conducive to external release. It can be seen that his aptitude in ninjutsu and illusion was extremely poor.

"This guy is a talent, but unfortunately he was born in the Sand Village. He doesn't have a physical training teacher like Might Guy, so he can only figure it out step by step on his own!"

"So powerful? Isn't that similar to Xiao Li?"

We have all seen how powerful pure physical skills can be. The power of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu is simply enough to make people question their lives.

There is always no shortage of such exceptions in the ninja world. There are people who have extremely high talents in certain aspects, but have no development prospects in the mainstream ninja's opinion. If Konoha Village wants to allow people with extremely biased abilities to develop, then it is still better for them. In the slightly quick-success-oriented atmosphere of the Sand Village, ninjas who only know physical skills are undoubtedly of little value.

"Mr. Mizuki speaks highly of that purple-haired muscular freak. Are all the teachers in the Sand Village blind?"

Mizuki shook his head.

"Even in Konoha Village, even a figure like Gai could hardly enter the ninja school and even failed to become a ninja. If Rock Lee hadn't had a special permit, he wouldn't have been able to graduate. What do you think they rely on for success? Unremitting efforts are the key. Not everyone has the patience to wait for these rough gems to shed the dust and shine. Who can guarantee that these people will not give up halfway?"

In comparison, the ninja qualifications of most people are undoubtedly more reliable.

Mizuki's words were cruel, but being a ninja is not a game of house, there won't be so many innocent fairy tales.

Just then, a group of people came over from afar, led by the female ninja Temari, followed by several young ninjas.

"Shino, it's your turn. Hinata and Kiba have to work hard too!"

"knew!"

We need to do things well on the surface, and we also need to speed up the arrangements in secret...
