The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

It's not just about unsealing Kaguya-hime, but more importantly, it's about the Ten-Tails.

That thing is a bit ugly, but it's quite useful.

He wanted to raise a Ten-Tails for fun, not to become its jinchūriki, but for the sake of the Ten-Tails itself, since it could produce Divine Tree Fruits, which seemed quite useful.

And Jiraiya needs to be saved! We can't let Jiraiya get killed by Pain.

"Speaking of which, I've become a firefighter." After muttering to herself, Bai Yue continued her search.

Because of the mark, they found Gaara not long afterward.

At this moment, he was having one of his tails absorbed by the Gedo Mazo.

"I wonder how far they've absorbed it?" After observing for a while, Bai Yue spoke up directly, "When was the distress call sent?"

"It was a day ago, the same day you lost contact with us," Lu Jiu replied immediately.

"They attacked the One-Tailed and the Nine-Tailed at almost the same time. What a coincidence!" Bai Yue pinched his chin, pretending to be deep in thought.

What a hassle! The Akatsuki are extracting the Tailed Beasts, and he has to keep up the charade and stall for time.

Shouldn't we award him an honorary member award from the Akatsuki organization?

"Lord Hokage, did you just say that Naruto was also attacked?!" Shikaku asked in surprise.

"Yes, Naruto and the others were attacked by the Akatsuki in the Land of Snow, so I rushed over to help," Bai Yue said calmly.

This is really troublesome; it will delay things by at least two days, or even longer.

It would take the entire Akatsuki organization three days to assemble, using their own chakra as fuel. Now, with Itachi Uchiha dead and Hidan captured, and Orochimaru's defection, they've lost three casters at once, which could make the process even more difficult.

"Was the information leaked...?"

"Tsk..." Ignoring Shikaku who was deep in thought, Shiro once again searched for Jiraiya and the others, centering on Gaara's location.

"Please, please let me in!" Temari's urgent voice came from outside the door.

Distracted from his thoughts, Shikaku immediately looked at Shiro.

"Let her in."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" As Bai Yue's voice fell, the Anbu at the door immediately opened the door.

"Lord Hokage, please, save Gaara, please..." Temari rushed towards the white moon, preparing to kneel down halfway.

When asking for a favor, it is necessary to expose one's chest to show sincerity.

After silently making a complaint, Bai Yue waved her hand, and an invisible force directly stopped Temari's movements.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a Yang Release healing technique, instantly repairing Temari's injuries.

"Don't worry, you are now members of Konoha too. Gaara and we will not abandon you," Shikaku quickly said.

"Let's go." Bai Yue was even more direct, grabbing Temari and smashing the window to take off!

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Temari said gratefully to Hakugetsu.

"Enough with the unnecessary words, just give me directions."

"Yes, Hokage! We were preparing to return to the Suna...Konoha branch." Temari immediately pointed to the northwest.

"Okay! I understand." Although he said he wanted to stall for time until the One-Tail was completely absorbed.

But being able to have one's cake and eat it too is Bai Yue's basic tactic, so Bai Yue naturally has to do her best to appear to be doing it.

Bai Yue has never been a good person. He doesn't have any special feelings for most people in the Naruto world, except for a few.

"Temari, you need to be mentally prepared, after all, Gaara has been captured for quite some time now." While flying, Baiyue gave Temari some mental advice.

"...Yes." Temari fell silent. She knew that Gaara was probably in grave danger, but she didn't want to give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.

The flight ignores any terrain, and Bai Yue occasionally teleports within a small area.

Not long after, Baiyue arrived at the place where they had been ambushed with Temari.

"Hokage-sama, this is it! Gaara was captured right here!"

"Hmm." Glancing around, the commotion caused by Gamabunta immediately caught Bai Yue's attention: "Let's go find Jiraiya and see if he's discovered anything."

"Lord Hokage, the people from the Sand... branch have arrived as well. I saw the tracking marks from the old Sand Village."

Without further ado, Shirotsuki picked up Temari again and followed the trail of destruction left by Gamabunta.

After all, this giant toad is quite large, and it made quite a commotion along the way. Not to mention that it didn't take any steps to hide its tracks at all. Even if it did, it probably wouldn't have been of much use.

"What... Lord Hokage!" The white moon flying in the air immediately attracted the attention of the former Sand Ninja on the ground. They had just shouted and assumed a battle stance, but when they flew closer and saw that it was the white moon, they immediately became extremely obedient.

The impression Bai Yue had left on them before was simply too deep.

"I never expected that it would be you, Hokage-sama, who came to rescue me in person." Chiyo's cloudy eyes were filled with complex emotions.

When Maki went to the branch to request rescue, he had already told her what had happened.

First, they persuaded them with reason and emotion not to leave Konoha for the time being, and then Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, secretly protected them.

Now, the Hokage himself has personally come to their rescue, showing them immense respect. He doesn't treat these surrendered soldiers like outsiders at all!

"The enemy is not weak, are you...?" Are you here to die?

He glanced at Maki and wondered if this idiot hadn't explained things clearly.

He was easily overturned by a car, so he ran back to the village for help, bringing with him a Chunin who was even inferior to him.

Chiyo's strength was passable, but against the Six Paths of Pain, she would be nothing more than a sitting duck.

"…………" Maki didn't want to speak. He also wanted to bring a bunch of Jonin to rescue Gaara, but who told you to take all the Jonin, and even the special Jonin, with you?

"Even if it means death, I will save Gaara," Chiyo said solemnly.

Although Sunagakure has now been incorporated into Konoha, the strength of the Sunagakure faction is still essential if it wants to gain some influence in Konoha.

There weren't many strong ninja in the Sand Village to begin with, and Gaara, as the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast and the inheritor of Sand Release techniques (it shouldn't be a bloodline limit...), was an indispensable candidate for a strong ninja.

"Alright!" Bai Yue shrugged, looking at the determined-looking ninja from the former Suna.

"I'm off first!" After saying that, Baiyue continued to follow the trail left by Gamabunta with Temari.

"Let's go too." Chiyo immediately gave the order as she watched Baiyue's departing figure.

"yes!"
