The Fifth village Hokage:Uchiha Douhuan

Chapter 236: Konoha Has a Professional Coup Team

Looking at the unconscious and unresponsive Gaara, an incredulous and astonished expression appeared on Temari's face. The Tailed Beast inside Gaara... was it beaten so badly that it didn't dare to come out?

"I'm sorry, my brother just now..." After a while, Temari finally reacted to what Gaara had just done, and a trace of apology appeared on her face as she spoke to Naruto.

"Can you tell me what exactly he has been through?" Naruto asked Temari after putting Gaara down. "Why can I only feel the purest hatred from him?"

"He..." Temari hesitated upon hearing Naruto's question, wanting to say something but holding back. But thinking that Naruto was also a Jinchuriki and that his mental state was much more stable than her brother's, Temari felt that Naruto might be able to help her brother.

"It's a long story," Temari sighed, and then by the bonfire, she began to recount Gaara's experiences from childhood to the present. From losing his mother at birth, to being treated only as a weapon of the village by his father, the Fourth Kazekage, who also constantly used assassinations to train Gaara's stress resistance.

"What the hell! Is your dad sick or something!" After hearing about Gaara's experiences, Naruto couldn't help but curse. At the same time, his gaze towards Gaara also carried a few traces of pity. Compared to the environment the other had grown up in, even the things he had encountered before being taken home by Big Brother Kakashi were nothing.

Putting himself in his shoes, Naruto felt that in such an environment, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until he grew up.

Temari and Kankurō fell into silence. Although Naruto's act of cursing their father was very rude, considering it from the perspective of an older sister and brother for Gaara, they also felt that their father was indeed quite sick in the head.

"Let's first think about what we should do from now on," Temari said at this point, changing the subject. "We don't know what the situation in the village is like now. If the two of us are classified as rogue ninjas, then going back would be like walking into a trap."

"And..." Temari sighed helplessly. "Even if we can return to the village, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete for the position of the Fifth Kazekage. In that case, Gaara's crimes can't be cleared either."

"You want to be the Fifth Kazekage?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. Only if I become the Fifth Kazekage can I prevent the village from extracting the Tailed Beast from Gaara, thereby saving his life. But now..." Temari said.

Ever since the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was killed by the rampaging Gaara, Temari had been training day and night to quickly improve her strength. At 15 years old this year, Temari's strength was already on the verge of an elite Jonin. Although she might not be qualified enough to be the Kage of a village, given the current situation in the Sand Village, if the incident of Gaara's rampage hadn't happened again, it was highly likely that Temari would have become the Fifth Kazekage, especially with her status as the princess of the Sand Village.

But now, all of this had probably become a pipe dream. Even if the Sand Village didn't classify Temari and Gaara as rogue ninjas, they probably wouldn't have a chance at the position of Fifth Kazekage after they returned. As for Gaara, it seemed the only path left was to be a rogue ninja.

"If you want to be Kazekage, being elected isn't the only way to go," Naruto said at this moment, handing the roasted sand rats to the two, while speaking casually.

"What did you say?" Temari's brow furrowed as she looked at Naruto upon hearing this.

"You can stage a coup to take power," Naruto said with his mouth full of oil after taking a bite of the roasted sand rat.

"A coup?" Temari's pupils shrank upon hearing this.

"Isn't that right? Your dad was the Kazekage for so many years, he must have some supporters, right? As the eldest princess of the Sand, you go back, raise your arm and rally them together. If you put in some effort, it's not entirely hopeless to take the position of Kazekage," Naruto said casually, completely ignoring the shocked looks of Temari and Kankurō.

Temari and Kankurō were dumbfounded by Naruto's words. Why, in this person's mouth, could something like a coup be said as casually as going downstairs to buy a watermelon?

"Who on earth are you?" Temari asked after taking a deep breath.

"Didn't I tell you? Uzumaki Naruto, a passing wandering ninja," Naruto said.

"Uzumaki... you're a member of Konoha's Uzumaki clan? The Tailed Beast in you... is the Nine-Tails?" A look of shock once again appeared on Temari's face. During the battle earlier, when Naruto introduced himself, Temari hadn't heard clearly because the situation was urgent. Now that Naruto introduced himself again, Temari also realized: with the surname Uzumaki and being a Jinchuriki, this fellow could only be a ninja from Konoha.

"I guess so," Naruto nodded generously.

"I guess so?" Temari was a bit confused by Naruto's choice of words and hurriedly asked.

At this time, Naruto took out his forehead protector, which was covered in black marks from Sasuke's lightning.

"So? You're a rogue ninja from Konoha now?" Temari said, lines forming on her forehead as she looked at the protector in Naruto's hand.

"Yeah," Naruto had nothing to hide.

"You, a rogue ninja from Konoha, are suggesting that I, a ninja from the Sand Village, stage a coup to become Kazekage? Do you think that's appropriate?" Temari said with some speechlessness after gritting her teeth.

"What's not appropriate about it?" Naruto spread his hands. "Don't you want the Kazekage to save your brother? Besides staging a coup now, do you have a better way?"

"You say it so simply," Temari said through gritted teeth. "This is a coup!"

"Huh? You don't know how to stage a coup?" Naruto was first stunned upon hearing this. Having been educated by Uchiha Douhuan since he was young, he had thought that the heirs of ninja villages would more or less learn this skill.

"Do you know how, then?" Seeing Naruto's expression, Temari asked back, somewhat annoyed.

"Uh, a little, but not much," Naruto said, scratching his head.

Although Uchiha Douhuan had taught the three of them about this, compared to Neji and Sasuke, Naruto hadn't understood much when he listened to this lesson. So, in this aspect, Naruto only had a partial understanding. He probably only knew that to succeed in a coup, you had to win over one group of people, suppress another group, and then make many friends and few enemies. As for the specific operations, Naruto indicated that it was too difficult for him.

"Then what's the use of you saying all this?" Temari took a deep breath. If she didn't know she couldn't beat Naruto, she really wanted to hit him with her iron fan.

"Uh, how about I contact a strategist for you?" Naruto smiled awkwardly, then said.

"A strategist?" Temari frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes, we in Konoha have a professional coup team," Naruto said. "With their help, you should be able to become the Fifth Kazekage."

"You, a rogue ninja, can still call people from Konoha for help?" Temari was a bit incredulous upon hearing this. However, she was slightly tempted by Naruto's proposal. After all, this was the only way for Gaara to survive.

"Uh, my situation is a bit complicated. However, if I ask Konoha for help, I can get the village's assistance," Naruto didn't explain his situation in detail, just spoke vaguely.

"You..." Temari looked deeply at Naruto. It seemed that the defection of this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha was not so simple.

"What do you say? Want to consider it?" Naruto said with a smile.

Naruto's purpose for traveling this time was to reduce the impact that future wars might have on the civilians of the ninja world. And now, with the opportunity to weaken the power of the Sand Village, he naturally wouldn't let it go. As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Sand would definitely stand in the way of Konoha's advancement in the future. If he could weaken their power, then when the war started in the future, the faster Konoha could end the war, the less damage the civilians on the borders of both countries would suffer.

Furthermore, if Temari agreed to his plan, then Konoha might also be able to take this opportunity to plant a nail inside the Sand.

"You... let me think about it," Temari said with some hesitation.

"What's there to think about?" Naruto said with a smile. "Miss Temari, you don't want your little brother to end up like me, having to be a rogue ninja for the rest of his life, do you?"

Temari: ...

Hesitant, Temari looked back at the sleeping Gaara. After a while, she gritted her teeth hard and finally made up her mind. "The professional team you mentioned, when can they come?"

"Wait for me a moment," upon hearing this, Naruto put down the roasted meat in his hand, then formed several seals. "I remember the seal to summon Pakkun and the others is this one..."

After trying several times, a puff of smoke exploded in front of Naruto. Pakkun, in a Guard Unit uniform with the badge "Dog-00001" pinned on his chest, appeared before Naruto. When he appeared, Pakkun was still chewing on a piece of steak.

"Naruto?" Pakkun only reacted then. After all, ever since he became the captain of the Konoha Guard Unit's K-9 Division, Kakashi had rarely summoned him except to transmit some important information, let alone this time it was Naruto who summoned him.

"Where is this? What are you doing?" After landing, Pakkun swallowed the steak in his mouth in three bites, then surveyed the surroundings and asked with some confusion.

"Wait a moment, help me send a letter back to Teacher," after speaking, Naruto lay down on a nearby rock and began to write down the current situation in a letter, then handed the letter to Pakkun.

"Don't summon me for this kind of work next time. You and Kakashi are really something else. I have some status now, you know. Is it appropriate for me to do this kind of work for you?" Pakkun complained while putting away Naruto's letter.

"Got it, got it," Naruto nodded. "Please, Pakkun."

After Pakkun left, Temari looked at Naruto, "Is that all?"

"That's right. Now we just have to wait for the professionals to arrive," Naruto said with a smile.

...

While Naruto and the three Sand siblings were braving the cold wind in the desert, the team heading to the Land of Demons was also learning about the mission situation from Shion's guard, Taruho. Although the first meeting with the client was not pleasant, since they had already accepted this mission, they would do their best to complete it.

"Everyone from Konoha, I hope you won't mind the Miko's rudeness," in the guest room of the Land of Demons' shrine, Taruho first served tea to everyone, then performed a dogeza, speaking to the group.

"Is your Miko always like this?" Sasuke drank the tea served by the other party in one gulp, then played with the teacup for a while before asking Taruho.

"I'm truly sorry. The Miko occasionally foresees people's deaths, like today," Taruho said.

"Is that so? And the result?" Sasuke asked in a low voice.

"The Miko's prophecies have never failed to this day," Taruho said.

"So, you also think I will die on this mission?" Sasuke said with a cold laugh.

"Although I really don't want to say so, the fact is just that. The Miko, she sees a fate that no one can escape," Taruho said with his head bowed.

"Is that so? Haha... hahaha," Sasuke, upon hearing this, suddenly shrugged his shoulders slightly, then began to laugh loudly.

"Sasuke?" Neji turned his head to look at Sasuke with a worried expression. Ever since Naruto left, Neji had been very worried about the mental state of his other fellow disciple.

"It's nothing," Sasuke waved his hand at Neji with a smile. "I think everyone in your Land of Demons needs to go to the Naka River Shrine Theological Seminary for some further study."

After saying this, the smile on Sasuke's face instantly turned icy, "The ninjas of Konoha never believe in any fixed destiny. If the fate you speak of wants me to die, then these eyes of mine will shatter that fate."

As Sasuke's voice fell, the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly, transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Taruho looked at these eyes of Sasuke, and a pressure like a mountain bore down on him.

"Go tell that Miko that tomorrow morning, we will set out to seal that demon," Sasuke said unhurriedly after deactivating his Mangekyo Sharingan. "And then, I will show her that the only value of the fate she has seen is to be broken by my own hands."

"Yes," Taruho said after taking a deep breath.

...

Konoha, Uchiha Clan Compound.

Uchiha Douhuan, who was idly shooting two pots of arrows in the backyard after work, had just put down his longbow when he heard the butler report that Pakkun had come to see him.

After letting Pakkun in, Uchiha Douhuan also received the letter transmitted back by Naruto. After reading it, a smile also appeared on Uchiha Douhuan's face. He shook his head and said, "This kid really isn't polite. But, helping a princess in distress return to her loyal Sand Village? Interesting."

Uchiha Douhuan formed seals and summoned a messenger snake. Then he pulled over a sealing scroll, sealed a stream of chakra into it, and then had the messenger snake take the scroll through Ryuchi Cave to the territory of the Land of Wind.
