Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

Gaara was a little stunned.

If it's a mission about the Centipede, it doesn't seem necessary to send Naruto and Sasuke along, right? !

Konoha could just send a message to the Sand Village, tell them the problem, and Gaara would be able to take that guy down by himself.

"He is indeed not very strong. He is just studying some forbidden techniques of puppeteers, human puppets."

"This is the information I gave you."

"As for the Loulan ruins, I don't know where they are. I only know that they are within the borders of the Kingdom of Wind."

Naruto laughed.

"Forbidden Technique?!"

"Human puppets... Could this be related to the recent disappearance of ninjas from the Sand Village?"

The first thing that Gaara thought of was one of the tasks he had just completed.

In just one month, seven ninjas disappeared from the Sand Village.

Moreover, these seven people are all strong in physical skills.

The most important thing is that they did not disappear while on a mission outside.

Instead, he suddenly disappeared in the village.

Combined with what Naruto said, it seems to be almost correct.

Gaara subconsciously wanted to get up and leave to pass on this information first.

"I see."

"Sand clone!"

Gaara made a hand seal and the sand beneath him began to move.

Then, he transformed into a clone.

The clone left here directly.

"Gaara is becoming more and more like a mature ninja now."

"The next Kazekage will probably be you, Gaara."

Naruto quipped.

"What Kazekage?!"

"Speaking of which, Naruto and Sasuke, which of you is going to be the Hokage!?"

"The fact that Konoha has ninjas like you will really make other ninja villages jealous."

Gaara was also talking freely in front of the two of them.

Moreover, now that the information has been passed back, Gaara is much more relaxed.

Simply put, none of the three took the centipede seriously.

Even if it is a forbidden technique...

As long as it is discovered in advance, there is nothing too scary.

"Sasuke!"

"I!"

Naruto pointed at Sasuke, who spoke confidently.

"Sasuke is still as confident as ever!"

"However, we don't have this kind of confidence."

"Besides, Sasuke does have such ability."

……

The three chatted on the sand dunes until late at night.

Sasuke and Naruto moved into Gaara's house.

In the darkness of the night, dark shadows kept flashing in the Sand Village.

In Fengying's office.

"Lord Kazekage, many ninjas have appeared in the village."

"and……"

"They are all ninjas from our Sand Village."

"They seem...like they are looking for something."

Maki appeared here in an instant.

The work of the Kazekage of the Sand Village is not much less than that of the Hokage.

Although I have had Gaara's help during this period...

But... Luo Sha was still asked to deal with it until late at night.

"Looking for Naruto and Sasuke."

"Don't worry about it. Even if these people find the two teenagers, there won't be any problems."

"What I'm more concerned about now is this..."

Luo Sha's face looked a little gloomy.

"how come!?"

"This place, isn't it already... And this is obviously not a naturally formed situation..."

After Maki finished reading the scroll that Luo Sha handed over, his expression became serious.

"Yes."

"This man-made thing...maybe it's related to what happened tonight."

"So, as long as their target is not here, then we don't have to worry..."

Luo Sha said this and stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the village streets that were quiet yet noisy, he sighed helplessly.

The combined strength of the Sand Village is still too weak...

……

Gaara's residence.

"Susususu..."

Friction sounds were heard, and soon more than a dozen figures stood on the high wall.

"enemy?!"

Before a dozen people could start to take action, a crisp voice rang out in the darkness.

Following closely behind was a huge wind escape.

Instantly, it attacked.

The dozen or so ninjas on the high wall immediately dodged.

Temari slowly walked out of the darkness, fan in hand.

"Ding ding ding..."

Kunai and shuriken attacked her one after another, but Temari did not panic at all, but just continued to walk forward.

And those kunai and shurikens were blocked by a fast figure.

"Kakaka..."

A strange puppet appeared next to Temari.

While blocking those kunai and shurikens, a large number of senbon were also shot out crazily.

The one operating the puppet was undoubtedly Kankuro.

However, Kankuro's position at this time was not exposed.

How could a qualified puppeteer easily reveal his true form to others?

"Not a target, evacuate!"

A voice sounded in the darkness.

Then, more than a dozen figures disappeared into the darkness.

"Why not just leave them all behind!?"

Sasuke stood on the roof, looking at the enemies fleeing into the distance with some confusion.

"Such an opponent is boring."

"Why, Sasuke, you want to go fight these guys?!"

Naruto joked.

Sasuke spread out his hands, and that tsundere look was already the best answer.

Although I don't bother to fight with such trash, I still feel a little unhappy about being disturbed.

In Sasuke's opinion, that was not really a fight.

It's just about killing those guys instantly.

"There's someone I know among these people."

"He is also one of the missing persons."

"It seems that they are not missing, but hiding in the village."

"But, what is their purpose?!"

Gaara was the most confused among the three.

Nothing that happened today was something he could understand.

"The purpose may be what I am looking for."

"Gaara, what do you think? Any ideas?!"

Naruto set his gaze on Gaara.

“If you hadn’t shown up, something like this would have happened in the village.”

"I will choose to arrest all these people in the shortest possible time and send them to the interrogation department."

Gaara didn't hesitate and expressed his opinion.

“It’s actually a good idea to do this.”

"Gaara, do me a favor."

"Looking for information about the dragon vein?!"

Naruto smiled and spoke.

"it is good!"

Gaara didn't hesitate at all.

Then, Gaara floated up on a ball of sand.

The chakra of the One-Tail Shukaku also spread out at this time.

The originally flat ground suddenly showed signs of fluctuation.

Soon, balls of sand flew towards the entire Sand Village.

"This is……"

"What means?"

"There is very powerful chakra in those sands."

"Naruto, you said that now that the mission is over, should I go catch a tailed beast for fun!?"

Sasuke looked at the sand balls and spoke thoughtfully...
