Gaara!
Naruto didn't pay much attention to the dangerous experience he had just had. After landing, he looked up at the sky and shouted anxiously before he could even stand up properly.
"Naruto!"
Sakura's eyes were blazing with fury as she looked at Naruto. The terrifying experience of falling from the sky had clouded her judgment, and Sakura punched Naruto on the head.
In her rage, Sakura unleashed a terrifying force, causing Naruto's head to swell up with a large bump, leaving him completely dizzy.
"Um, Sakura, why...?"
Before Naruto could react to the sudden attack, he staggered and looked at Sakura, asking a question. But before he could finish speaking, Sakura delivered another punch to his head, knocking him to the ground!
"Hey, we're on another ninja village's territory right now, can you guys stop messing around?"
Kakashi felt utterly helpless seeing this farce. He had accepted the mission with the intention of getting away from the village to relax, but how did such a perfectly good mission turn into this mess?
"Kakashi-sensei, I just..."
"You are from Konoha Village, where did you take Lord Kazekage?"
"You provided the intelligence on the Akatsuki, and you appeared right after they did. Could this be a conspiracy by Konoha?"
"Konoha ninja, what brings you to Sunagakure?"
......
Before Sakura could finish speaking, a group of agitated Sand Ninja surrounded them, staring intently at Kakashi and his group and bombarding them with questions. Some of the more agitated Sand Ninja even brandished their ninja tools!
Damn it!
Kakashi was also very troubled by this situation. Although he was somewhat confident in his strength, he never thought he could escape unscathed from the siege of so many Sand Ninja.
"Quiet down, there's no point in you all standing around here. Masked Man, you lead a group of Sand Ninja back to the village to stabilize the situation; Maki, you lead a team to search for the Fifth Hokage's whereabouts. As for these Konoha ninjas, I'll take care of receiving them."
"Yes, Elder Chiyo."
The Sand Ninjas had complicated expressions after hearing Chiyo's command, and some even wanted to question it.
However, Chiyo's long-standing power eventually silenced them, and Masked Armor and Maki followed Chiyo's orders and began to act.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized somewhat, Chiyo approached Kakashi and the others and carefully examined them from head to toe. At first, she was very excited, but then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly became listless.
"Judging by that face, you must be Kakashi, the legendary Konoha technician, the son of White Fang. What brings you to Sunagakure?"
Kakashi's dejected expression lessened considerably. "We're here to convey Konoha's goodwill. The Hokage had already sent a letter of cooperation to your village, but your village hasn't responded yet. In addition, Konoha has discovered signs of Akatsuki's activities in the Land of Wind, so the Hokage sent us here to discuss this further."
Chiyo gave a wry smile. "You all saw what happened just now. The Kazekage has disappeared, and we need to find him as soon as possible. We don't have the time or the right person to talk to right now, so please leave."
Having been rebuffed, Kakashi quickly said, "We can help with finding the Kazekage."
"Konoha Village's tracking techniques, huh? It wouldn't hurt to give them a try. Please demonstrate them first."
Chiyo's voice carried a detached indifference, as if she didn't have much hope for Kakashi's suggestion.
After hearing Chiyo's words, Kakashi didn't waste any more words. He instructed the Sand Ninja to pile up Deidara's mutilated corpse and the pieces of Gaara's clothes that had fallen.
Then he bit his thumb and used the blood to form a seal, "Spiritual Communication Technique".
Before the summoned ninja beasts could fully materialize, Kakashiki couldn't wait to speak, "Pakkun, look at these in front of you."
As the smoke from the psychic spell dissipated, a small, yellow-skinned dog with dead fish eyes appeared on the scene. It looked at the corpse mixed with sand and mud in front of it with a disgusted expression.
"Kakashi, you summoned me to eat this? I am a domesticated ninja dog, and I need to eat high-end dog food produced by the Inuzuka clan. This meat paste and sludge is not worthy of my status."
Moreover, judging from my sense of smell, much of the meat in this is poisonous!
As he spoke, Parker subtly stepped back a few paces, then looked at Kakashi with a suspicious gaze.
"It's not because I let slip to the Inuzuka family's dogs the other day that you like reading Jiraiya's books and that you're getting more and more listless, so you're planning to kill the dogs to keep them quiet, is it?"
Parker retreated further and further as he spoke, his face filled with solemnity and helplessness.
"What you're doing is useless; the Inuzuka family's dogs will still spread the virus. Instead of killing the dogs to silence them, I think you'd be better off finding someone else..."
"Parker!"
Kakashi raised his voice to interrupt the incessant chatter of the dog. His eyebrows twitched visibly several times, and a hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
Seeing that the dog had calmed down a bit, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. He forcibly ignored the strange looks around him and said to Pakkun, "Stop joking around, come and sniff these scents, we need to track our allies from Sunagakure!"
Kakashi then turned to Chiyo and said, "Please have the ninja from Sunagakure follow Pakkun to track him down. We can discuss things while we wait for news."
"It's a great pity that Sunagakure no longer has the strength to fulfill the demands your village previously made. As you can see, we've been attacked right at the village gates, so how can we possibly help our allies? We don't even have enough manpower to search for the Kazekage right now."
Ignoring the subtle restlessness of the Sand Ninja nearby, Chiyo spoke these words without batting an eye.
Kakashi couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. Chiyo was truly a cunning old fox. The Sand Village had developed a lot in recent years. Although they lacked some top-tier ninja, their overall strength was still a great help to Konoha.
If it were Kakashi in the past, he would definitely have volunteered. However, after experiencing one upheaval after another, and understanding the dark side of Konoha, Kakashi is no longer so concerned about Konoha's affairs.
Let the strong handle this kind of thing; Jiraiya is currently in the Land of Wind.
"I will contact Lord Jiraiya and also notify the village that your village's skilled fighters can follow Puck..."
"Kakashi-sensei, I want to go too! Let's hurry and save Gaara!"
Naruto had actually been awake for a while, but he managed to stay quiet under Sakura's death stare. At this moment, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Kakashi reached out and grabbed Naruto, but Naruto was too wild to control. After thinking for a moment, Kakashi turned to Chiyo and said helplessly, "Konoha and Sunagakure are allies. Please let us do our part in finding the Kazekage."
Upon hearing this, Chiyo forced a stiff smile. "The Sand Village has felt the friendship of Konoha."
