The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

While Maki was filled with anxiety, in the Hokage Building, Anko was also truthfully reporting that she had discovered Orochimaru's whereabouts and that Orochimaru's target was suspected to be Uchiha Sasuke, the last descendant of the Uchiha clan.

Of course, being as clever as Red Bean, she naturally chose to keep her beloved's intrusion into the Death Forest a secret.

"Now that Orochimaru is back, it can't be anything good. I propose we suspend the Chunin Exams!"

"Absolutely not! Politicians, nobles, and wealthy merchants from various countries are currently en route to Konoha, and some have already arrived. Canceling now would only damage Konoha's reputation!"

"Are we just going to let such a dangerous guy run rampant in the village?! Especially since he's got his eye on... Shikaku, do you have any leads?"

"Not at the moment..." Nara Shikaku's brain raced as he rested his chin on his hands.

"Alright!" Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted the heated discussion among the advisors. "The Chunin Exams will proceed as planned. Simultaneously, dispatch the Anbu to track Orochimaru's movements, and also notify Danzo to mobilize Root!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Several Anbu members immediately sprang into action.

"Sigh! That's all we can do." Mitokado Homura sighed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, his gaze drifting absently out the window to the bustling streets.

What exactly is Orochimaru's intention? Why is he targeting Uchiha Sasuke? Or does he have some deeper purpose?

Did Danzo participate?

A series of questions arose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a heavy puff of smoke.

Orochimaru's sudden appearance has stirred the thoughts of many high-ranking officials in Konoha.

Meanwhile, Bai Yue leisurely accompanied Hinata and the two little ones as they ate.

The irresistible aroma of barbecue wafted near the central tower, and even the three Temari members couldn't resist it, let alone the Konoha ninjas stationed there.

This is wrong! Ninjas shouldn't be like this! We should drink dew when we're thirsty and eat grasshoppers when we're hungry! Or eat those unpalatable soldier rations. Not this brazen open-air barbecue!

Such arrogant behavior will be discovered by the enemy!

Swallowing hard, Kankuro stared in utter frustration at the dashing group of four, plus a dog.

If it were anyone else, he would have already taken action. But their Jonin had just been "taught a lesson" not long ago, so he didn't dare!

"Do you really want to eat it?" Temari glanced at Kankuro and Gaara, her tone carrying a hint of doting affection and a touch of secret delight. "If you want to eat it, I'll go ask them for some."

"Huh?" Kankuro's mouth dropped open. He stared blankly at his infatuated older sister.

No, girl, who are you? You're so shameless! You want it? Do you think people will just give it to you?

Kankuro stared blankly at him, while Gaara seemed lost in thought, a cruel smile occasionally appearing on his face.

Feeling that this was a golden opportunity, Temari strode quickly toward the restaurant, Shiratsuki Yakiniku.

Absolutely perfect!

I'm just a loving older sister who wanted to take care of my younger brothers. I only approached that incredibly handsome guy because I saw they wanted to eat barbecue.

Although the other party is very strong, I don't have any malicious intent. I just want to get close to him and become familiar with him. Who knows, maybe in the near future, I will unexpectedly encounter this super handsome master, and I might be spared because of this familiarity?

Temari! You're amazing! No wonder you're the smartest woman in Sunagakure!

"Ugh, this Sand Village woman's smile is disgusting!" Kiba Inuzuka was initially wary of the Sand Village female ninja who approached them, but upon seeing the strange smile on Temari's face, he immediately retorted.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue and the others immediately turned to look at Temari.

Froze!

Temari's mouth twitched uncontrollably! This brat who owns a dog! He's just like a dog! She's supposed to be the village beauty of Sunagakure, and only one character, Maki, can barely threaten her status! What do you mean by a disgusting laugh?!

You filthy dog ​​owner! I really want to tear your dog mouth apart!

"Is something the matter?" Bai Yue asked gently.

Wow! He's so gentle!

"Lord Hyuga, could you spare some of the grilled meat for me? My younger brothers want some... I have money..." That's right! I, Temari, am just a doting older sister who spoils my younger brother!

"How dare my sister do that?!" Kankuro, standing not far away, stared at his sister in disbelief, completely unaware that his reputation and Gaara's reputation had been damaged!

Are Kankuro and Gaara greedy?

Bai Yue looked at Temari with some suspicion. He was slightly doubtful of the truthfulness of Temari's words, but Kankuro was somewhat more likely to be true.

However, Gaara's relationship with them is not good right now. Even though Temari and Kankuro have feelings for their younger brother, they don't dare to show it.

Moreover, compared to him, a young master who never took the ninja profession seriously, Kankuro and his ilk were very... well, very professional ninjas. How could they possibly be like the Akimichi clan, unable to control their appetites and going to ask ninjas from other villages for food?

Even the Akimichi clan's love for this food stems from a special secret technique!

Confuse!

Oh well, it's just some grilled meat anyway.

"Forget about the money. If you're not afraid of being poisoned, take it." Bai Yue casually handed over a large bunch of skewers, including two portions of thick-cut beef that Kiba Inuzuka loved.

"Thank you so much!" You're so handsome and strong, how could you possibly poison me?

As the saying goes, one's values ​​follow one's appearance, and Temari is already a fan.

Therefore, she is by no means wise.

Reluctantly returning with a large bunch of skewers, Temari casually shared some with Kankuro, then glanced at Gaara and said gently, "Gaara, you should have some too."

"Hmph!" Gaara snorted coldly and made no other move.

"If he won't eat it, then give it to me..." Kankuro unceremoniously prepared to take the skewers.

However, an astonishing killing intent swept over him.

Gaara didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear: if you dare to take it, he dares to kill you!

Kankuro trembled and looked to Temari for help.

"Gaara, you should eat some. It smells so good, it must taste really good." Temari forcefully shoved the skewers into Gaara's hands.

Today, no, right now, Gaara looks terrifying, but for some reason, Temari doesn't feel scared.

Gaara stared blankly at the skewer of grilled meat that Temari had forcibly stuffed into his hand, lost in thought.

However, the terrifying killing intent surrounding Kankuro did indeed dissipate.

"Phew, that scared me to death! I thought I was going to be killed!" Kankuro patted his chest, still shaken, and let out a long sigh of relief.

His brother is terrifying!
