In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

I recalled the scenes of him spending time with Gaara.

There are scenes of him being impatiently ordered around when he was young, and scenes of him trying to approach Gaara but being so frightened by Gaara that he could hardly move.

However, what he was recalling most at this moment was the changes that had occurred to Gaara after he returned from Konoha.

Gaara learned gentleness and restraint.

They even started learning how to get along with their family.

Gaara is, after all, Kankuro's younger brother, and it's absolutely impossible for him to stand idly by and watch Gaara be taken away.

"I'll go as well."

Temari couldn't hold back any longer and got up to chase after Gaara.

"Don't act so rashly. You might fall into an enemy trap if you go alone. It's not too late to chase after them once we've gathered our squad."

Maki merely stopped Temari; by the time Maki was about to make a move, they had already reached the next rooftop.

“If we let them form a team and then chase after them, it will be too late. I don’t know what they want to do with Gaara, but I know that Gaara is my brother. No matter what happens, I cannot let him be taken away by the enemy.”

After saying that, Kankuro turned and left.

"Kankuro, be careful not to go too deep alone. If you do, you must bring Gaara back safely."

Temari couldn't go over there, so she could only give instructions to Kankuro.

"Well, I see."

Kankuro nodded.

He then continued chasing after Deidara without hesitation.

Even if it meant traversing the explosive zone containing detonating clay, Kankuro was willing to do it.

Just as Kankuro was heading to the village entrance alone, he was joined by several more ninjas.

"Kankuro, we'll go with you."

"Yes, we will definitely bring Gaara back successfully."

The group walked side by side with Kankuro.

Kankuro looked at these people, his heart filled with excitement.

Village entrance.

Deidara finally arrived at the entrance of Sunagakure and met up with Sasori of the Red Sand.

"You're finally here. You've been so slow! You've kept me waiting for so long."

Sasori's words were tinged with impatience.

"Ah, there was a little accident. I didn't expect the Jinchuriki to be so tenacious, so I played with him a little longer," Deidara replied with a smile.

"Don't do this again next time. I hate waiting the most."

Sasori of the Red Sands, unusually, did not mock Deidara this time.

"Yes, we... it seems we have guests coming. Sasori of the Red Sand, you should have prepared a big gift for our guests."

Deidara asked with a smile.

"We've been prepared for this for a long time!"

Sasori of the Red Sand answered without hesitation.

When Kankuro and his group arrived at the village entrance, all they saw were corpses scattered all over the ground.

The Sand Village ninjas who were originally guarding the village entrance had already been killed by Sasori of the Red Sand.

They died tragically, their faces turning bluish-purple.

It is clear that each of them died from poisoning.

"damn it!"

Seeing the horrific deaths of these people fueled Kankuro's rage even more.

If these people want to use underhanded tactics, they should just attack directly.

But the ninjas who were secretly killing them were simply too much.

"Quickly chase after them! We absolutely cannot let Gaara fall into their hands."

Kankuro gritted his teeth and chased after him.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then they decided to chase after them.

But the next moment.

Among the squad that accompanied Kankuro, one person discovered a living person among the dead.

"There are still people alive. Perhaps we can get information from them about what exactly happened here."

After saying that, the ninja went to check on the injured person.

"Don't move! This might be an enemy plot, little one...!"

Before I could even say those words, I saw that the still-living person had an explosive tag stuck to their chest.

"boom!"

With the explosion of the detonation tag.

The people around were enveloped in it.

The explosion of this detonator then triggered a chain reaction.

Explosions began to occur all around the rock walls.

Countless rocks tumbled down, unnoticed by the crowd for a moment.

They were all caught up in the explosion.

Kankuro was relatively far from the center of the explosion, so he was able to react immediately.

They used salamanders directly as a defense.

They escaped the explosion.

They also rescued two ninjas who had already fainted.

Maki and Temari arrived quickly as well.

"What happened? Kankuro, are you alright?"

Temari rushed up to Kankuro and looked him up and down.

Gaara has been taken away by them, and Temari simply cannot accept it. Kankuro is also dead.

"It's alright. Too many ninjas in the village have been killed by them. If we don't bring Gaara back soon, the village is likely to undergo a major upheaval. You hurry and get the medical ninjas to treat them. I'm going to catch up with Gaara now!"

Kankuro handed the two unconscious ninjas to Maki and then addressed him and Temari.

"But Kankuro, that guy defeated Gaara. If you go after him alone, you might lose your life. Let's come back. We've already released our summoning beasts to keep an eye on things. At their speed, they can't leave the Land of Wind yet. Let's go back to the village and discuss it with Granny Chiyo and the others."

Maki looked at Kankuro and said.

Because now the entire village has not only lost me, but also some Jonin and Chunin, who were killed by Deidara and Sasori.

The strength of Sunagakure has been weakened once again.

Under such circumstances, if Kankuro were to be lost as well, the entire village might truly be plunged into crisis.

"Are we just going to watch Gaara go unpunished? I can't do that!"

Kankuro questioned him sternly.

That was his younger brother. How could he just watch his brother be taken away without trying to rescue him?

"Yes, we absolutely cannot watch Gaara get captured like this."

Temari was now on Kankuro's side.

"No, I don't mean we should go and save Gaara, but rather we should come back, gather a large army, and then fight him. Otherwise, if we go one by one, we'll just be sending our heads to the enemy."

Maki said anxiously.

“I’m not comfortable with that. If you’re sending someone to track them, then send me. I think with my abilities, I should be able to manage if I don’t have to do anything but just keep a close eye on them.”

Kankuro simply couldn't stand it anymore.

He came out specifically to save Gaara.

He can't stay holed up in the village all by himself now.

After saying that, Kankuro rushed out.

Chapter 285 Sasori's Trap

"An impulsive guy."

Maki couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Temari glared fiercely at Maki.

Maki had never really liked Gaara since he was a child, so while he was worried about Gaara being captured, he was more concerned about the village losing its powerful fighting force.

It wasn't something she did willingly; she didn't want to care about Gaara.

Therefore, Temari was also feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Hurry back. Granny Chiyo is waiting for us to come back and discuss things. And Temari, don't leave alone like Kankuro did, otherwise you might get into danger. Then we won't just have to save Gaara."

Maki gave Temari a final reminder.

Left with no other choice, Temari had to temporarily return to the village with Maki.
