Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

Mu Feng has only made a move once so far.

That feat of fighting against hundreds single-handedly left a deep impression on him.

Although Lord Fengying usually hides his true feelings well, he has always been very wary of Mu Feng.

This can be seen.

Mu Feng is definitely a powerful ninja.

His move at this moment was absolutely brilliant.

Ye Gui quickly relayed the message to his remaining companions, urging them to head towards the valley.

"Mu Feng is over there."

He will save us.

All the Sand Ninja who received the news headed towards the valley.

The unusual movements of the Sand Village ninja naturally alerted the Konoha pursuers.

After repelling the combined attack of the Sand and Sound Ninja, Konoha sent people to stay behind and clear out the remaining ninja while splitting into two groups to pursue the fleeing ninja from the two villages.

The group responsible for pursuing the Sand Village consisted of Jonin such as Kakashi, Might Guy, the former Ino-Shika-Cho trio Choza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara, and Inoichi Yamanaka.

The sudden shift in the Sand Village ninjas' scattering and fleeing in all directions to their current convergence in one direction caught the attention of Nara Shikaku, the former genius strategist of Konoha.

"Haiyi, quickly contact the others and don't act rashly, lest you fall into the enemy's trap."

Yamanaka Inoichi quickly contacted the other Jonin.

Everyone gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Nara Shikaku: "I think there's something seriously wrong with the enemy suddenly changing direction."

Nara Shikaku's abilities as a strategist are widely recognized.

Kakashi said anxiously, "Then we need to think of a way quickly, we can't let them escape."

He has already received the message.

The entire Class 7, which I sent out to hunt down Gaara and the others, has disappeared.

He guessed that he must have been arrested.

He was in a hurry to rescue people.

Nara Shikaku: "Don't worry, I've already had Morino Ibiki interrogate you, and I believe we'll have results soon."

He has already captured a Sand Ninja and handed him over to Ibiki Morino for interrogation.

As expected, Ibiki Morino quickly brought news.

"Tell them I'm not a ninja tool master."

Victory is here!

The message consisted of these two sentences and the location of the valley.

Akimichi Choza stomped his foot heavily: "What an arrogant person! The mere Sand Ninja have already been defeated, yet he dares to claim victory?"

They are all retirees.

Kakashi, however, knew about Mu Feng's situation.

"Senior, don't let your guard down."

"Mu Feng's situation is very special."

Kakashi shared the information he possessed with them.

Choza Akimichi: "What ninja tools? Puppet? I'll smash him to pieces with one punch."

Kai also felt there was nothing to fear.

"Kakashi, I'll risk my youth, I'm sure I can defeat him."

Analysis by Nara Shikaku.

"Judging from the situation, it seems that the other side only has Mu Feng. Everyone be careful, but there shouldn't be any major problems."

"What he said may have just been a morale-boosting remark."

Kai: "In that case, let's head to the valley. Hopefully, he's a real man and will actually be waiting there."

Kakashi had no choice but to lead the way with his ninja dogs.

The Konoha group followed the scent of the Sand Village ninja into the valley.

They also did not capture the Sand Ninja.

They always gather together anyway, which makes them easier to catch.

This side of the valley.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have all woken up.

Naruto saw Mu Feng.

He was greatly surprised.

"Uncle, it's you!"

Mu Feng: "Haha, it's me."

Naruto: "Uncle, when did you get here? Were you captured by them?"

Sasuke and Sakura got annoyed by Naruto's silly appearance.

Sakura: "You idiot Naruto, can't you tell he's in cahoots with Gaara?"

Naruto was stunned.

He took a look.

Only then did they notice that Mu Feng was not tied up.

"what!!!"

"What are we going to do?!"

"Uncle, please don't blow my head off."

Mu Feng's iron flower technique left a shadow on him.

He shook his head in fear.

Mu Feng: "Haha, Naruto, it's alright. We'll let you go back once we've settled the terms."

talking.

He wore a kind and friendly smile.

Naruto was overjoyed: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Sasuke didn't believe it at all.

He looked warily at the smiling stranger in front of him.

He was trying to find a way to break free from his constraints.

However, with his hands tied, there weren't many options.

He moved his foot.

A cold, cruel gaze shot over.

That's Gaara.

He sat atop the rock, indifferent like an emotionless doll.

He kept a close eye on them.

Sasuke was deeply impressed by the beating he received from Gaara.

He dared not move.

Mu Feng: "Of course, scientifically speaking, our two villages were allies before. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, we can make up again."

Naruto: "That's great. So, uncle, can you untie us?"

Mu Feng shook his head: "You are hostages now, and hostages should act like hostages. Remember not to move around or else..."

Gaara picked up the conversation.

"I will kill you all."

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all trembled with fear at Gaara's terrifying killing intent.

Mu Feng chuckled and said, "Gaara, don't scare people like that."

Temari, who had been scouting ahead, returned.

"Boss, a Sand Shinobi has arrived."

Chapter 29 Fellow Konoha Residents, Let's Meet!

The first group to arrive was the remnants of Ye Gui's forces.

Ye Gui: "Lord Mu Feng, the others are arriving one after another."

With the Kazekage missing, the Sand Village is leaderless.

Ye Gui naturally chose to submit to Mu Feng, who was currently the most powerful.

Mu Feng was very satisfied with Ye Gui's sensibility.

They rescued the defeated soldiers, repelled the pursuers, and forced Konoha to renegotiate the alliance.

He will then use the prestige of this victory and the support of the people to successfully ascend to the position of Kazekage.

Mu Feng: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest now. I'll take care of the rest."

Mu Feng's calm tone and composed attitude reassured the defeated soldiers.
