Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 426 The one I love can only be my mother-in-law

Not only was Gaara bewildered, but downstairs in the Kazekage Building, Yekura, who had been resurrected and returned to the village by Edo Tensei, was also bewildered, and Temari standing next to her had an expression of existential doubt.

After returning to the village, Yecang would casually accept one mission a day as a token gesture, and then wander around the Kazekage Building to gather relevant information.

She wanted to confirm whether the current Kazekage was truly qualified to become Kazekage.

As Gaara's son, Yoruichiro was born with a distrust of him.

Yotsuba's three lackeys, including Matsuri, who is nominally Gaara's disciple, are quite naive and unaware of Yotsuba's distrust.

Now, Yecang is accompanied by four people every day, not three.

Temari is also temporarily accompanying the group to ensure that Yoruichiro, an unstable element, won't do anything like assassinating Gaara.

Anyway, aside from their daily tasks, these people just stroll around the area near the Fengying Building, which isn't boring at all.

And it was under these circumstances that they witnessed countless people coming to the Kazekage Building to inquire about Granny Chiyo's whereabouts, and then running out with impatient expressions.

No, Sunagakure is indeed known for its beautiful women, and they are all beauties of all ages, but why is it Granny Chiyo?

Those who didn't know better might think that Granny Chiyo was Gilgamesh, declaring that from now on, the only woman in the hearts of all the men in the ninja world could be Granny Chiyo.

"Temari-nee, when did Granny Chiyo become a must-see... uh, a must-meet person in our Sunagakure?"

Yukata poked Temari with her finger and asked softly.

"How would I know?"

Temari glared at the yukata, then stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "I remember there's a saying, something about sake... something old... It came from a disgusting novel."

"Is alcohol like an old hero, the more you drink, the more vigorous it becomes?"

Ji tentatively gave a reply.

"Not that sentence."

Temari was speechless.

"You mean to say that women are like fine wine, getting better with age, right?"

Yecang suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah...wait, how did you know?"

Temari looked puzzled.

Yekura hasn't been resurrected for long, how do you already know this?

"Ah—it's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a coincidence, Temari-neechan, don't worry about the details."

The three little ones suddenly panicked and stood in front of Ye Cang, offering a haphazard explanation.

This whole operation is a classic case of trying to hide something obvious.

Under Temari's persistent questioning, it was revealed that the three children were very curious about the "Kiman" series and the limited Tsukuyomi series, but these could only be purchased after they reached adulthood.

After they resurrected Yekura in Amegakure, they took Yekura around to eat, drink, and have fun. Inadvertently, they got Yekura to help them buy the complete set of the game.

Since she had already bought it, Yekura took a look at its contents as well.

"You guys are really shameless."

Temari sighed silently.

"If anyone should be ashamed, it should be Granny Chiyo. If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If Granny Chiyo is allowed to have a harem, why can't we read some risqué adult novels?"

The three little ones also became stubborn and started talking back.

"What do you mean Chiyo-ba-chan has a harem? Don't make things up without evidence. There must be some misunderstanding."

Granny Chiyo is a highly respected elder in our Sunagakure village…”

Temari's face immediately darkened.

"We don't believe it."

"Unless we see it with our own eyes."

"...Okay! Let's go take a look!"

Temari gritted her teeth and decided to go with the others to find out what was going on.

What exactly are these people up to regarding Granny Chiyo?

Yecang didn't say anything, but she silently followed.

After all, she didn't know the new generation of ninjas, but as a ninja from Sunagakure, she definitely knew Granny Chiyo.

Furthermore, as a female ninja, Granny Chiyo must have been her former goal and idol.

"That's a good reason."

A person wearing a straw hat stood not far away, having overheard their conversation. He seemed thoughtful, then walked over.

"Who is it?"

Yecang looked at the newcomer with suspicion.

"Don't be nervous, I'm actually also one of Chiyo's suitors."

The newcomer removed his straw hat, revealing his face.

"Who are you?"

The group looked at each other, clearly not recognizing anyone present.

"...Damn it, I told you before that I wanted to be like Konoha, get me a Shadow Rock or something!"

The person who had been stroking his mustache with a smile, preparing to bask in admiring glances, suddenly twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing these words.

That's right, the newcomer was none other than the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.

The Hidden Mist Village previously suffered massive destruction of its bloodline limit families due to the Blood Mist policy.

Fortunately, the geography of the Land of Water is naturally suitable for hiding, so if all else fails, you can hide on a small island.

Therefore, there are actually quite a few hidden bloodline ninjas in various places.

However, to regain the trust of these bloodline ninjas, it is necessary to rebuild their faith by moving the tree, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

The changes brought about by Terumi Mei could not dispel their fears and concerns.

Therefore, Mei Terumi decided to find a suitable representative to handle the matters concerning the bloodline clan.

Since there are few talented people in Kirigakure, we can only look to the past.

Thus, Hozuki Gengetsu was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The Hozuki clan is not actually a bloodline family; their water transformation is more like a secret technique similar to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Just as Yuan Shao killed anyone without a beard when he entered the palace, the Hozuki clan, under the Blood Mist policy, naturally could not remain unscathed. Otherwise, Suigetsu would not have gone to Orochimaru's side.

For a bloodline family like ours, the Hozuki clan are victims just like us, and that's enough.

Hozuki Gengetsu's intervention will reassure them.

Moreover, the origin of the Blood Mist policy lies with the Third Mizukage.

Regardless of what the Third Mizukage's original intentions were, or whether they were later misinterpreted and exaggerated by the masked man.

Regardless, the Third Mizukage will only ever be a sinner in the hearts of these victims.

Therefore, the second generation is the best candidate.

Besides, a mustache naturally exudes a friendly charm.

Why did that little mustache come to Sunagakure?

It's still Hashirama Senju's fault.

During his travels through the five great ninja villages, Hashirama Senju naturally visited Kirigakure.

Upon learning that Kirigakure had been affected by "Uchiha Madara," Senju Hashirama, wanting to atone for his old friend's sins, went to Kirigakure and filmed a short video for the village's tourism industry.

During filming, Hashirama Senju inadvertently mentioned that Madara had also been resurrected using Edo Tensei and was in Sunagakure, where he was trying to seduce Granny Chiyo.

Hozuki Gengetsu was a contemporary of Uchiha Madara. Upon learning of this, he immediately put aside his plans for the return of bloodline ninjas and decided to resolve this major crisis in the ninja world first.

He left in such a hurry that Mei Terumi didn't have time to tell him, which meant he didn't use the Flying Thunder Formation and had to rely on his Edo Tensei body to run all the way to Sunagakure.

Now that he had overheard Temari and the others' conversation, he had a plausible reason to approach them.

As for what Madara Uchiha actually wants to do?

do not know.

But he just needs to stop Madara from doing whatever he wants.
