Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

"Temari, Kankuro, what are you two doing here? Did the ANBU on the street give you any trouble?" Yashamaru immediately asked his two nephews with concern.

"No." Temari shook her head, then looked at Maki, "Teacher, you and Kankuro should take people to the Puppet Squad right now and control all of Ishiichi Seigaku's direct subordinates. Kankuro has been in the Puppet Squad for a while, so he can lead the way."

"Then, Uncle, the rest of us will go directly to the Fengying Building, and along the way, we'll mobilize as many villagers as possible to join us in surrounding the Fengying Building and forcing Shi Yixi Yue to resign." Temari calmly issued one order after another.

"A direct coup?" Yashamaru was startled by his niece's words and quickly reminded her, "If that's the case, it would be a violent coup."

Upon hearing this, Temari took a deep breath, her eyes hardening. She mimicked Uchiha Touko's earlier words, glancing at her teacher and the supporters her uncle had brought, her lips moving.

"Failure is rebellion! Success is revolution! The Hidden Sand Village has fallen into the hands of these insects! I do not want to see the Hidden Sand Village, to which my father devoted countless efforts, sink into ruin. Therefore, I urge you all to join me in eradicating these insects and restoring a bright and clear world to the Hidden Sand Village!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" These former subordinates of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, were moved by Temari's words and became excited.

At this moment, Maki looked at Temari with a hint of relief in his eyes. The princess they supported was finally beginning to learn to act like her father.

"Please, teacher, I'm leaving the Puppet Class to you. You absolutely cannot let them have a chance to send reinforcements to the Kazekage Building," Temari said to Maki.

"Yes!" Maki solemnly accepted the order and led a group of men toward the puppet troupe's encampment.

Temari, on the other hand, personally led the remaining people, heading towards the Kazekage Building while inciting the villagers along the way.

It must be said that Rasa's act of personally mining gold dust to maintain the daily operation of Sunagakure, as the village's Kage, was somewhat shameful among Kage-level shinobi, but for most people in Sunagakure, it was a genuine act of kindness.

Now that Temari, as the princess of Sunagakure, has stepped forward and raised her arm, most of the villagers know that it is time to repay the kindness of the Fourth Kazekage.

Not to mention that Shi Yixi's absurd martial law order has genuinely impacted their lives.

Therefore, Temari didn't have to exert much effort to gather a large number of villagers and head towards the Kazekage Building.

The ANBU officers in charge of maintaining martial law didn't object too much. They reasoned that with this meager pay, a couple of laps around the streets would be enough to repay Lord Fengying's kindness.

In less than twenty minutes, a crowd had gathered in front of the Kazekage Building. The villagers of Sunagakure, who had come together, kept trying to break through the defensive line formed by a large ANBU squad, while chanting, "Ishii Seigaku! Step down!"

"Shi Yixiyue is unworthy to be the Wind Shadow! Get off the stage!"

The commotion outside quickly drew the attention of Shi Yixi Yue, who was sitting in his office, gazing intently at the corpse in the crystal coffin. Shi Yixi Yue went to the window and looked down at the Sunagakure villagers gathered below, along with the slogans they were chanting. He was instantly enraged.

"Didn't we say the village was under martial law? What are those secret agents doing?!" After putting away the crystal coffin, Shi Yixiyue angrily called over his secretary and reprimanded him.

"Well, according to the information relayed back by the Anbu, they said that most of those attacking their defenses were civilians, and they couldn't attack civilians because of ninja rules," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary said, forcing a smile.

Just then, a rotten egg whistled towards the window of Feng Ying's office, smashing into the glass and leaving a dirty trail behind it. Shi Yixi Yue was furious when he saw this and pointed at the stain on the window, yelling, "They've been through all this, and you still think they're just ordinary people?"

"They're all thugs! Thugs!" Shi Yixi Yue roared. "Send out the Dark Guard! Suppress them all!"

"Yes!" Shi Yixi Yue's secretary could only nod in response, and then walked out of the office to issue orders to the Dark Army Captain on duty in the Fengying Building.

Looking at the ever-growing crowd outside the window, Shi Yixi Yue gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that after this, it will be necessary to establish our own security force in Sunagakure. These ANBU can't even handle the matter of imposing martial law properly!"

However, not long after, Shi Yixi's secretary brought him bad news.

"The duty officer of the secret service refused your order, arguing that their secret service cannot attack civilians," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary said, forcing a smile.

Snapped!

A glass shattered at the feet of the secretary who had come to deliver the message. Shi Yixi Yue's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone. "How dare they do this! How dare they do this!"

"However, the captain of the Dark Division also said that they will guard the entrance to the Wind Shadow Building and not give these civilians a chance to storm your office," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary hurriedly said.

"So I have to thank them, right?" Shi Yixi Yue said angrily.

"Listen to me, Shi Yixi Yue! How dare you act so recklessly in the village, persecuting your comrades and disregarding the people's livelihood? Do you deserve the Kazekage hat on your head? If you know what's good for you, step down now, take off your Kazekage hat, and apologize to the people of Sunagakure! We might be able to let you off the hook!" At this moment, Temari came to the front of the protesting crowd and shouted at the Kazekage Building.

"Damn it! I told you we should just label them traitors, but those two old bastards just wouldn't agree!" Shi Yixi Yue said through gritted teeth after seeing Temari downstairs through the window.

"Temari-sama, what do we do now? It seems that Ishii Nishige isn't planning to show up today." At this moment, a former supporter of the Fourth Kazekage came to Temari's side and asked.

"No rush," Temari said calmly. "Let's wait for news from the teacher first. Once he has the puppet class under control, we can then make our move and storm in."

"Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, Kankuro rushed to the Kazekage Building and brought Temari the news that the puppet squad had been completely brought under control.

Temari nodded upon hearing this, then strode towards the Kazekage Building.

"Miss Temari, this is the Kazekage Building, a restricted area. Please stop here." As soon as Temari approached the entrance of the Kazekage Building, she was stopped by the Anbu guarding the door.

"Make way." Temari prepared to force her way in, just like she had done with the two ANBU guards who had been blocking her door earlier.

“Miss Temari, your father was once the Kazekage, so you should know that one cannot enter the Kazekage Building without being summoned by the Kazekage,” the ANBU member said.

"At the same time, guarding this place is also our job, so please don't make things difficult for us, okay?" the ANBU said in a flat voice. However, at this moment, Uchiha Touko noticed through the communication snake hidden in Temari's ninja tool pouch that the man seemed to have deliberately emphasized the words "guarding this place".

"Alright." Temari narrowed her eyes slightly and took a few steps back.

"What do we do now? If we can't catch Shi Yixiyue today and force him to abdicate, then our crime of violent coup will be confirmed." Temari asked in a low voice after retreating.

"If you can't get in through the main gate, can't you just climb over the wall?" Uchiha Touko reminded him with a smile. "They've already reminded you like that."

"Climb over the wall?" Upon hearing this, Temari looked at the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building in disbelief.

Then, with a try-it-out mentality, Temari strode towards the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building, and tentatively glanced at the two ANBU guards at the main entrance.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Temari leaned against the window, took a long stride, and jumped into the Kazekage Building.

Chapter 243 Special Investigation Team on Forbidden Puppet Techniques

After seeing Temari scale the wall and enter the Kazekage Building, the ninjas who came with her followed suit and went to the windows, using various techniques to scale the wall and enter the Kazekage Building.

The two secret agents guarding the gate, however, kept their eyes down and pretended not to see anything.

After Temari led Yashamaru and the others into the Kazekage Building, they headed straight for the Kazekage's office where Ishiichi Seigaku was located. On the way, they happened to encounter Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary, who was sent out to urge the Anbu to suppress the villagers who had come to protest.

The moment they met, Temari's ninjas swiftly attacked, subduing the opponent before she could even utter a sound.

Then, the group walked straight to the door of the Kazekage's office. The ninjas who had followed Temari in all looked at her. Temari nodded, placed her hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and prepared to subdue the other party the moment the door opened.

However, just as Temari's hand grasped the doorknob, she faintly heard Ishii Nishigake's voice coming from inside.

"Jianxi, don't worry, these thugs can't stop me. I will definitely use the puppet technique to give you a new lease on life."

Shi Yixi Yue's voice was full of emotion, which gave Temari outside the door and several Sand Ninja nearby goosebumps.

"Jianxi? Is that his wife, Jiaren Jianxi? But didn't his wife die in the Third Shinobi World War? Besides, the puppet technique... isn't that a forbidden technique that has been explicitly banned by the village?" Temari frowned, but stopped what she was doing and turned to remind the ninjas who had come with her to be quiet. She wanted to hear what other big tricks Shiichi Nishigaku could pull.

Temari, separated by just one door, couldn't help but get goosebumps as she listened to Ishiichi Seigaku repeating his nauseating words over and over again.

However, in Shi Yixi Yue's mutterings, Temari also confirmed that the other party intended to use the puppet technique. In Sunagakure, both the creation and manipulation of puppets are absolutely forbidden techniques. For Shi Yixi Yue, this stain was enough to get him kicked off the stage and forced to eat garlic sprouts.

Shi Yixi Yue's actions, when translated into Konoha, are roughly equivalent to a certain elder of the clan harming his own ninja and desecrating the body of the First Hokage. The current Danzo of Konoha can be said to be a character who will be infamous for eternity. His kneeling statue still stands in a park not far from the Uchiha clan's territory, and occasionally passersby will spit on it.

After a while, Shi Yixi Yue realized that his secretary had taken too long to come downstairs to relay the order, so he called out his secretary's name.

However, the next moment, the door to Fengying's office was pushed open.

Upon hearing the commotion, Shi Yixi Yue was about to turn around and reprimand the other party while hiding his deceased wife's body. However, before he could make a move, a kunai, gleaming with a cold, dark purple light and clearly coated with deadly poison, was already pressed against his neck.

"Lord Kazekage is certainly in high spirits." Temari made a sarcastic remark to Ishii Nishigaku as she entered. However, when she noticed the crystal coffin and silicone puppet next to the desk, she felt disgusted. Although Temari was the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, she rarely came here. In her heart, the Kazekage's office had always been a sacred place. Ishii Nishigaku's actions were undoubtedly a desecration of the Kazekage of Sunagakure.

"Temari! How dare you! Forcibly breaking into the Kazekage's office, do you know what crime that is?" Shi Yixi Yue's face turned red and then pale after his hidden secret was exposed, but the kunai hanging around his neck forced him to calm down, and he could only stare at Temari.

"Lord Kazekage, you should think about how to explain this." Temari and Kankuro walked straight to the crystal coffin. After carefully examining the corpse inside, Kankuro said to Temari, "There are signs of puppet modification."

"How can this be allowed?" Temari looked at Ishiichi Nishigake in disbelief.

"Get away from her!" Seeing Temari and Kankuro approaching his wife, Ishii Seigaku suddenly became anxious.

"As the acting Kazekage, how dare you use your authority to do such a thing! Do you deserve the Kazekage hat you wear?" Temari turned around and said fiercely to Ishii Nishigake.

"Sealing squad! Men, seal all of these! They will be used as evidence in court when he is tried in the future!" Temari said sternly.

"No!" Shi Yixi Yue struggled violently, but as a puppeteer, without his puppet by his side, he could barely unleash even 30% of his strength. His struggles were quickly subdued by two elite Jonin, and the sealing team that came with Temari quickly sealed the crystal coffin and the puppet.

"No!!!" Shi Yixi Yue let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The shouts were heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see, yet most of the Sunagakure ninjas present appeared to be suppressing laughter.

The situation is quite clear now. Based on what they overheard at the door, Shi Yixi Yue clearly intends to have a forbidden love affair with his puppet. They did not expect that Shi Yixi Yue, who always presented a tough image in Sunagakure, would have such a hobby in secret.

"Don't waste any more time. Take this guy to a place you can completely control as quickly as possible. Otherwise, things will become more complicated once your two village elders realize what's happening," Uchiha Touko reminded Temari.

"Seal his chakra and then send him to the Jonin squad for strict supervision!" Temari hurriedly said upon hearing this.

Soon, Temari and her group escorted Ishii Nishigaku, whose chakra was sealed, out of the Kazekage Building. The two ANBU guards outside the door, seeing this, simply stepped aside despite Ishii Nishigaku's murderous glare. After all, the order was to guard the gate and prevent the rioters from entering, not to prevent people from leaving.

Upon exiting the gate, the ninjas and civilians who had come to participate in the protest erupted in cheers upon seeing Shiichi Niishagi being escorted away.

"Welcome, Princess, to restore order!" At this moment, a ninja who had been arranged in advance by Temari according to Uchiha Touko's instructions shouted this as soon as he saw Temari.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" The area in front of the Kazekage Building was instantly enveloped in a frenzied atmosphere, with protesters chanting Temari's name.

After the cheers subsided, Temari waved her hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

After the crowd in front of the Kazekage Building quieted down, they all turned their attention to Temari.

Temari took a deep breath and then spoke: "Everyone, just now, we discovered evidence in the Kazekage's office that the Acting Kazekage, Seigaku Ishii, had violated the laws of Sunagakure! As you can all sense, after my father, the Fourth Kazekage, sacrificed himself to protect the village, Sunagakure has been in an extremely difficult situation. However, Seigaku Ishii, as the Acting Kazekage, instead of trying to lead Sunagakure out of this predicament, has been eliminating dissidents for his own selfish reasons. Now, he is even using his position to research forbidden techniques! We absolutely cannot accept such a person defiling our Will of Wind!"

"That's right!"

"Princess Temari! You are the best candidate for the fifth generation!" At this moment, To, who had been arranged in the crowd in advance, shouted again.

"Princess Temari! We support you becoming the Fifth Generation!"

After a few people took the lead, the civilians who came to protest also joined in. Although they might not know whether Temari could be a good Kazekage, Temari was, after all, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who had once given them a good life for a while. She was better than Ishii Niigaku, who just declared martial law whenever he had nothing better to do.

Moreover, the atmosphere had already reached this point, so the civilians present also joined in the shouting.

"Let's put the Kazekage's matter aside for now. I understand everyone's feelings and thank you for your support. However, the most urgent task at hand is to thoroughly investigate the crimes committed by this black sheep of Sunagakure and restore order to our village!" Temari said to the ninjas and civilians in front of the Kazekage's building. "After that, if you are still willing to support me, I am willing to take on my father's responsibility and lead you all, guided by the Will of the Wind, to rebuild the glory of Sunagakure!"

"your Highness!"

"Temari-sama!"

"Lord Godaime Kazekage!"

Upon hearing Temari's words, the crowd grew even more enthusiastic, with some even shouting the Fifth Kazekage's slogan.

Amidst the cheers, Temari watched as Maki, having finished dealing with the puppet squad, escorted Ishii Nishigaku towards the Sand Village Jonin camp, the headquarters of their faction of ninjas.

Then, Temari turned around and went straight into the Kazekage Building.

Back in the Kazekage's office, Temari looked up at the photos of the past Kazekage hanging in the office, a slightly dazed expression on her face.

They succeeded already? That was too easy! It's been less than 10 hours since he and Kankuro returned to Sunagakure, and a major obstacle to her becoming Kazekage has already become her prisoner?

"What's wrong?" After Maki went to interrogate Ishiichi Nishigaku and Yashamaru went to take over the ANBU inside the Kazekage Building, only Temari and her brother were left in the Kazekage's office. Uchiha Touko's communication snake simply climbed onto the desk and saw that Temari looked a little dazed, so he asked.
