The three teams from the Hidden Cloud Village all possessed the Book of Heaven and Earth, which was the Book of Earth. Therefore, the two teams had already completed the task of collecting the Heaven and Earth Scrolls required for the second exam before it even began.

“Then let’s head back now and meet up with Sasuke and Naruto,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Um……"

Hinata, being mild-mannered, did not refuse Kitahara Kaede's decision.

As Kitahara Kaede and his group walked back, Kitahara Kaede sensed that there were ninjas nearby.

"Kaze-kun, it seems someone's in trouble." Hinata rolled her eyes.

The Byakugan possesses the functions of a telescope and X-ray vision.

The field of vision can reach 1 kilometer.

Hinata saw that someone was surrounded about 750 meters away from them.

Kitahara Kaede closed his eyes, and the surrounding scene immediately transformed into a two-dimensional map, showing that Temari and Kankuro were surrounded by six grass ninja.

“It seems we are not needed.” Kitahara Kaede said.

As he spoke, Temari, who was surrounded, took down the large fan-shaped ninja tool from behind her.

"Kamaitachi, Slash Slash Dance"

Everything around was dealt with by the fierce wind blades and scythes.

The surrounded Shinobi fell to the ground.

"Amazing."

Hinata let out a small gasp of surprise.

She has Byakugan, so she saw Temari's movements.

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Hinata, you now possess the abilities of a Jonin, that's what makes you amazing.

Temari and Kankuro... well, Kankuro is rather useless, but Temari's Wind Release should be the backbone of Sunagakure.

Temari's current strength has surpassed that of an elite Chunin.

Given time, she should be able to reach the level of a full-fledged Jonin within two years.

Kitahara Kaede then led Hinata onward, preparing to...

But Temari and Kankuro quickly caught up.

They were just surrounded by Grass Ninja, so they dealt with it.

But Temari noticed them out of the corner of her eye.

"Kitahara Kaede!"

"It is indeed Kitahara Kaede!"

but.

"How can they be so fast!"

After chasing for a while, Temari pinned herself against the tree with one hand.

"call--"

Kankuro was already exhausted, and Temari was also panting heavily.

Their speed was no match for Kitahara Kaede and Hinata.

"..."

"...Damn it, I think I've been emotionally deceived!" Temari said.

"..." Kankuro.

"Huh!?"

Chapter 058 Welcome Nine-Tails to the Chat Group! (Please auto-read and subscribe to all chapters)

Because she couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried, Temari could only remember the direction Kitahara Kaede and Hinata left in.

Compared to her, Kankuro's overall strength was inferior to hers.

Although I don't think the other genin who participated in this exam are that strong, it is still somewhat dangerous to be separated from Kankuro.

after all……

Gaara is not with them now.

They were also deceived by Gaara, thinking they were on Gaara's team and would take the exam together. However, upon entering the Forest of Death, they discovered that the person accompanying them was just Gaara's sand clone.

In other words... Gaara may have joined Kitahara Kaede's team.

This is very possible.

Gaara was still thinking about how he had been knocked away by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha a few days ago.

Having realized this, Temari considered informing Kitahara Kaede.

On one hand, she didn't want Kitahara Kaede to be killed by Gaara, and on the other hand, she didn't want Gaara to deviate from the Kazekage's plan.

Lord Kazekage has asked them to cause trouble during the third exam.

But the second exam now gives candidates freedom, and even requires them to sign a waiver of their right to life or death.

Therefore, Gaara will likely take this opportunity to attack Naruto and Sasuke.

That's why Temari showed up to deliver the news before the exam.

However, neither Temari nor Kankuro expected Gaara to surprise them.

Gaara cheated.

They may have already snatched the Kitahara Kaede team away.

·····

"Temari, what do we do next?" Kankuro asked, panting.

Ninjas need to expend stamina to travel, and high-speed travel consumes chakra, because you need to attach a certain amount of chakra to your feet so that you can grab tree trunks when you run or jump.

For Kankuro, the desperate pursuit just now had taken a heavy toll.

"What else can we do?" Temari said. "We can only chase after them."

"Gaara should be with Kitahara Kaede's team right now."

·······

“Then why don’t you just let Gaara kill them?” Kankuro said.

However, Temari interrupted him as soon as he said this.

"Are you stupid?"

"This kind of problem is happening now..."

"It will definitely affect the plan."

"Have you forgotten whose answers you copied during the first exam?"

Temari said.

"Since he was able to answer, why did he answer so quickly?"

"Isn't this just telling everyone that copying him is fine?"

"So, Kitahara Kaede may also be showing us through his actions that we can copy his answers."

"These are all the good deeds I have sown."

······

"Oh……"

Kankuro wondered if Temari was overthinking things.

However, he nodded.

"Okay, I copied Kitahara Kaede's test paper."

"So, should we rush over now and stop Gaara?"

"...Temari, we'll die if we do this."

"I don't want to stop Gaara." Kankuro still felt it was dangerous.

“You don’t need to stop us,” Temari said. “We’re going to retrieve Gaara.”

"and……"

"Didn't I just say that I was tricked by Kitahara Kaede?"

·······

"Oh." Kankuro nodded. "You saw Kitahara Kaede with a girl, right?"

"..." Temari.

"of course not!"

Temari said, "I mean, our level is already that of elite Chunin."

"But we can't keep up with Kitahara Kaede."

"Doesn't this mean that his strength is actually greater than we imagined?"

Temari astutely remarked, "So... if the weakest, Kitahara Kaede, is hiding his true strength, then... Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are also not fully displaying their abilities, right?"

"In other words..." Kankuro suddenly realized that his perspective was too narrow.

So Temari wasn't jealous because she saw Kitahara Kaede with a girl.

So, Temari was actually worried about Gaara.

Neither he nor Gaara ever called Temari "older sister".

But Temari... seems to still treat the two of them as her younger brothers.

but……

Kankuro felt that there was no such thing as family affection in their family.

The father was rarely home and constantly sent assassins to kill his youngest son, who in turn did not treat him as an older brother and nearly killed him several times.

and so.

Kankuro dislikes this kind of family at all.

·······

"Kankuro, we can't wait any longer, we can only do our best!" Temari said.

"Take the soldier's ration pills."

"Then we chased after them."

As Temari spoke, she took out a small bag.

This is what the Jonin Baki gave them.

It is said that it can only be used when needed.

These are military ration pills; there are 30 pills in total.

If there are three people together, then each person will take 10 pills.

Sunagakure lacks skilled medical ninjas, so they have to purchase military rations from other villages, which makes them expensive.

Each pill costs 5000 taels, totaling 15 taels.

This is already a very expensive expenditure for the Sand Village, which is short of funds.

So Mr. Maki told them to use it sparingly.

"Ugh... So following Gaara is definitely never going to end well!"

Kankuro already disliked Gaara, and now he was almost risking his life, so he complained.
