Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"You have a good older sister, but she can only help you this once. Don't cause trouble in other people's villages."

"you!"

Kankuro felt a surge of frustration, but seeing Gaara's gaze, he could only suppress it all.

He became a punching bag.

"I'm so sorry."

Gaara also apologized to Shirakumo Aoba and the others.

Then he said to Temari and Kankuro, "Let's go."

Then they led the way and left.

Kankuro could only follow Gaara as if his own father had died.

Perhaps when no one is around, he can write Gaara's name on the puppet and punch it a couple of times.

But you have to remember to wipe it clean after you're done.

If Gaara finds out, someone could really die.

Temari glanced at Shirakumo Aoba a couple more times before leaving.

"Brother Qingye, you were so cool just now!"

After Gaara and his two companions left, Konohamaru, Moegi, and Ise Udon immediately surrounded them.

Her eyes were sparkling.

Baiyun Qingye had a bit of a headache; how did he suddenly replace Naruto's role from the original story?

Speaking of Naruto, after learning taijutsu from Might Guy, he immersed himself in training every day.

There was indeed no chance to get to know these three kids. During this time, he had been training with Jiraiya, while Sasuke was training with Kakashi.

Then there would be even less chance of getting involved.

He would certainly like cute little girls like Hanabi, but those two brats, Konohamaru and Ise Udon…

Baiyun ruffled Konohamaru's head.

"Don't chase and play around in the street next time, it's easy to disturb others."

"I...I know."

Konohamaru nodded sheepishly.

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi protecting them, they became much more polite.

"Qingye, thank you so much for this. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome."

Shikamaru came up and thanked Shirakumo Aoba.

"It's alright, aren't you guys training with Uncle Asuma?"

"Teacher Asma had something to take care of, and we were just about to take them to lunch when this happened."

Shikamaru explained.

"Aoba, why don't you come have lunch with us?"

Ino also came over and took Shirakumo Aoba's arm.

Bai Yunqingye looked helpless. "We need to go home now."

"Huh?" Ino looked disappointed.

"How about we come to my house for lunch together?"

He then offered his own suggestions.

Chapter 212 The Coming War

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Aoba?"

Although Ino hesitated in her words, the expectation in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Her adorable appearance made it impossible for Shirokumo Aoba to refuse.

"It's okay, there were already a large group of people."

"I want to go!"

Ino was getting impatient.

And you?

She then looked at Shikamaru and Choji with a kind expression.

"Uh...we won't go, Choji, Konohamaru, let's go get some ramen."

Shikamaru decisively refused and pulled Konohamaru towards the shopping street.

"Huh? But I want to go."

Konohamaru tried to struggle, but couldn't break free.

Shikamaru was speechless; this kid had absolutely no sense of propriety.

If you dare to go along as a third wheel, you'll probably get your head smashed by Ino when no one's around.

"Ino, remember to assemble at the training ground this afternoon."

After saying that, Shikamaru took Konohamaru and ran away.

"Qingye, please have some!"

Choji stuffed a bag of potato chips into Shirakumo Aoba's hand, and then followed behind.

Seeing this, Moegi and Ise Udon hesitated for a moment, but still followed Shikamaru and the others.

Bai Yunqingye could only shake his head as he watched the group flee.

On the way back.

Shirokumo Aoba also introduced Kurotsuchi's identity to Ino.

"Speaking of which, the ninjas from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure have already arrived in Konoha. Why haven't your Kirigakure ninjas arrived yet?"

Shirokumo Aoba inquired about Terumi Mei.

Mei Terumi's expression became slightly unnatural. "Although Kirigakure isn't far from Konoha, it involves crossing an ocean, so it's normal for the journey to be a bit slow. Could it be..."

Mei Terumi's tone changed, becoming aggrieved.

"Are you disgusted with your sister and want to kick her out?"

"I didn't mean that, I was just curious."

Go home.

Baiyun Qingye went to the kitchen to cook.

Ino also ran in to help.

Because she used to make her own bento boxes often, Ino was able to do some simple preparation work.

Meanwhile, Yakumo and Kurotsuchi have already clashed outside.

Mei Terumi and Hinata watched the battle from the sidelines.

"Hmph! Let me see the strength of your Kurama clan!"

"I also want to see the strength of the Tsuchikage's disciples!"

The two finished exchanging harsh words.

"Melting Escape: Lime Condensation Technique!"

Black Earth quickly formed hand seals and spat out a large amount of white, viscous liquid.

This is her molten escape technique.

However, it is different from the Lava Release technique of Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, which combines high-intensity destructive power with defensive power.

Her Meltfall ability is primarily used for auxiliary control.

Kurotsuchi's Lava Release technique wasn't fast, and Yakumo easily dodged it.

But the next moment, Heitu leaped high into the air again.

He formed a hand seal again.

"Water Release: Water Horn Technique!"

She spat out another jet of water, this time targeting the previous Lava Release technique.

The force of the water flow rapidly expanded the attack range of the Lava Release technique.

Seeing this, Yakumo quickly retreated, trying to escape the range of Lava Release.

But they were still a step too late.

Yakumo's feet were encased in Lava Release, rendering her unable to move.

Kurotsuchi let out a soft groan, clenched his right fist, and used the Weighted Rock Technique at the same time.

Like a cannonball, it charged towards Yakumo and quickly reached him.
