Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Yu Ming frowned. "That's our Konoha's messenger hawk."

Asuma nodded and said, "Yes, and it's even Tsunade-sama's messenger hawk. Something really serious must have happened. I didn't expect the Hokage to write a letter personally."

Chapter 180

Yu Ming took the mail hawk, opened the letter, and read it.

The contents of the letter left Yu Ming speechless.

Asuma glanced at it and frowned. "It seems someone is really stirring up trouble. Our mission is still to protect Gaara."

Because Konoha and Sunagakure are allies, when someone was discovered to be plotting against Gaara, Tsunade, as the leader of Konoha, would naturally ask Hamei and the others to support Sunagakure.

Kai looked at Yu Ming and said, "What should we do? Xiao Li and the others are still taking their exams in the desert. With such a big sandstorm, it's difficult for us to get in."

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, I have a plan."

Although they didn't know what Yu Ming's method was, they still followed him into the Devil's Desert.

The environment around Sunagakure was already harsh enough, but the Devil's Desert was the worst of the worst places.

It would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to survive inside, making it a great testing ground for ninjas.

After entering the Devil's Desert, we saw sandstorms that blotted out the sky.

Suddenly, a lightning shield erupted from Yu Ming's body.

The shield completely covered Asma and his two companions.

The sandstorm quickly covered them, but no matter how severe the sandstorm was, it could not penetrate Yu Ming's lightning shield in the slightest.

Kai was stunned when he saw the lightning shield. "This, this shield is so strong, it can actually withstand the attack of a sandstorm."

It's important to know that the winds in a sandstorm are very strong, and the storm also contains a lot of fine sand. Therefore, an extremely dense force is needed to prevent these things from entering the shield.

I never expected Yu Ming's lightning shield to be this effective.

This was also the first time Yu Ming had released such a lightning shield in front of them.

Yu Ming activated his perception ability. The sandstorm had spread for more than ten kilometers, but fortunately, it was all within his perception range.

After sensing where the person who created this storm was, Yu Ming said, "Let's go."

The three of them stopped marveling at how powerful Yu Ming's lightning shield was.

Traveling through a sandstorm is inherently a very difficult, even impossible, task.

However, thanks to Yu Ming's presence, Asuma and his companions crossed the sandstorm without any hindrance.

However, the ninja on the other side of the sandstorm frowned.

"I didn't expect Konoha to get involved too. That guy is here too, but you're still a bit short if you want to stop me."

At this moment, Yu Ming had already sensed that Gaara had rushed into the Devil's Desert.

As they were heading towards Gaara, Yu Ming frowned and asked, "Why did Gaara go inside?"

They originally planned to rescue Lee and the others first before protecting Gaara, but unexpectedly, Gaara rushed into the desert.

Asuma asked, "What's wrong?"

He saw Yu Ming frown.

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. We can kill two birds with one stone. We can protect Gaara and rescue Hinata at the same time."

Asuma and Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "You mean Gaara is here too?"

Yu Ming nodded.

Asma seemed somewhat displeased. "What is he doing here? Doesn't he know that those people's target is him?"

Asuma believed that since Tsunade already knew someone wanted to assassinate Gaara, she would definitely tell Sunagakure. However, Gaara's presence here clearly showed that he had not considered the consequences.

Yu Ming frowned. "There might be someone important to him among them. I heard that one of his disciples is in there. He finally has a disciple, so he probably doesn't want her to be in any danger."

As soon as Yu Ming finished speaking, Asma and the other two fell silent, because they also had their own disciples among them, so they understood this feeling very well.

The four of them quickly arrived at Gaara's location.

However, at this moment, Gaara's chakra was being extracted by a ninja monk.

Even Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, was among them.

Meanwhile, Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee, along with two ninjas from Takigakure, were attacking the ninja monk Hoichi.

Yu Ming stood aside watching the group, and for a moment he didn't want to make a move.

"Let's see what they do."

"This is also a test."

Yu Ming removed the lightning shield; this place was already on the edge of a sandstorm.

The four of them stood behind a huge rock more than 100 meters away, watching.

"Their opponents are not particularly strong. It seems that Sunagakure is going to carry out a purge."

Many people in Sunagakure are dissatisfied with the higher-ups' decision to elect Gaara as the Fifth Kazekage.

Gaara is only 14 years old now, so why should he become the Kazekage?

Although his father was the Kazekage and he was a Jinchūriki, it was ridiculous that he wanted to become the Kazekage at only 14 years old.

Many Sunagakure ninjas were involved in this assassination.

However, this has nothing to do with Yu Ming. Yu Ming's mission was only to protect Gaara, not to eliminate those in Sunagakure who opposed Gaara.

Moreover, it's estimated that Sunagakure wouldn't want Konoha to get involved in this matter.

Watching Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee, and two Takigakure ninjas relentlessly attack the ninja monk Hoichi, Yu Ming chuckled, "That guy can actually peel off the tailed beast while defending against Rock Lee and the others' attacks. That's interesting."

That ninja monk's strength should be at the level of a Jonin. There aren't many ninjas like that in Sunagakure.

I never expected that I would also participate in this assassination attempt.

Behind Neji and Tenten was a chakra net woven by the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, which hindered the speed at which the tailed beasts were separated.

...

Looking at the battle in the distance, Kai said, "Is it really okay for us not to get involved? Gaara's chakra is being absorbed by that ninja."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "No need. I think Neji and the others can resolve this crisis."

"I just want to know who is behind this assassination."

Upon hearing Yu Ming's words, Kai frowned, feeling that Yu Ming was too calm.

Asuma said, "This sandstorm was definitely not something that ninja monk could have created. It was a group ninjutsu, and it was also a kind of barrier. It seems that the person behind it has considerable power, as they were able to mobilize so many people to release this barrier for him."

Although Asma was somewhat worried about his students, he also knew that Yu Ming must know that they were alright, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

The battle lasted for about ten minutes. In the end, Neji and the others really defeated Fa Yi. Neji did not kill Fa Yi, but used pressure point techniques to make him reveal the mastermind behind the battle.

At this moment, Yu Ming also appeared beside them with Asuma and the other two.

He also wanted to know who was behind it all.

When Gaara saw Yu Ming, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to show up here. You should have been here a long time ago."

Yu Ming didn't speak, but looked at Neji and asked, "How was it? Did you get any answers?"

After Neji used a very complicated acupressure technique, Fai finally revealed who was the mastermind behind it all.

"Fuyi? Who is that?"

Gaara frowned. "Fuyi?" VII.

Chapter 181

Gaara thought to himself, "How could it be him?"

Fugi was also one of the high-ranking members of Sunagakure, but he had always been a supporter of Gaara and was even regarded by Gaara as one of the most important people.

But now they're trying to assassinate him.

Gaara found it hard to accept at first.

However, this concerns Gaara, so Yu Ming simply smiled and said, "It seems you know this person."

Gaara nodded, but didn't say anything.

Yu Ming continued, "It seems this person is from your village. We shouldn't interfere; this is an internal matter for your Sunagakure."

Gaara nodded.

Clearly, Gaara didn't want the Konoha ninjas to get involved in this matter.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Then we can save ourselves the trouble. Teacher Kai, Teacher Asuma, Teacher Hong, we should go. We shouldn't stay in the exam room."

Just as Yu Ming was about to leave, Fu, who had been standing to the side, came up and looked at "290" Yu Ming, saying, "You are Yu Ming from Konoha, right? I want to be your friend."

Yu Ming looked at this person; it seemed she really enjoyed making friends with others.

However, Fu can fully transform into a tailed beast instead of losing consciousness, making her someone who can completely control the tailed beast.

However, her strength was indeed too weak, so even after fully transforming into a tailed beast, she still couldn't unleash the full power of the Seven-Tails.

In the end, he was captured by his senior, which is really a pity.

Yu Ming nodded. "You are the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Fu was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ming's lips twitched slightly. Just now, she and Gaara had their tailed beast chakra extracted. Did she think Yu Ming was blind?

However, looking at this guy, Yu Ming calmly said, "I just saw it."

"I didn't expect that your Takigakure would actually send a Jinchuriki to participate in the Chunin Exams. But I think your ability to control the Tailed Beasts is probably much stronger than Gaara's last Chunin Exam."

Gaara, who was standing to the side, was thinking about Fuyi when Yuming suddenly called his name.

It just seems that Gaara really had a hard time controlling Shukaku last time.

Fu smiled and said, "The Seven-Tailed Man is quite nice."

Seeing Fu smiling so happily, Yu Ming knew that this guy must get along very well with the Seven-Tails.
