The Fifth village Hokage:Uchiha Douhuan

Chapter 240: Can't You Just Climb Through a Window?

To be honest, Uchiha Douhuan, currently acting as Temari's coup d'état mentor, had thought of countless countermeasures that Ishiichi Seigaku might take against Temari's actions. But the one thing he hadn't considered was the possibility of the other party implementing a lockdown in the Sand Village.

The reason was simple. He had been able to declare a lockdown in Konoha back then because he had a team that was loyal only to him. In the situation with the Guard Unit at that time, the Hokage's words were not necessarily as effective as his, the captain who generously threw money around. Moreover, the Guard Unit he controlled also had the legal authority to impose a lockdown. But what about Ishiichi Seigaku now?

He could only mobilize the Anbu because of his status as the Acting Kazekage, and the authority of the Anbu within the village was completely insufficient to legitimately become the Sand Village's total surveillance force. More importantly, a lockdown costs money! Could the current Sand Village afford the subsidies for the lockdown forces? Ishiichi Seigaku's forceful deployment of a total surveillance state completely caught Uchiha Douhuan off guard.

"What now?" Temari's brows furrowed as she looked at the Sand Anbu blocking her way. After taking two small steps back, she asked the communication snake in a low voice.

"Try to force your way through first. Display your identity as the Princess of the Sand and test the attitude of these Anbu," Uchiha Douhuan thought for a moment and said to Temari.

"I understand," Temari nodded and strode towards the other party. Kankurō, seeing this, hurriedly followed his sister's steps.

The Anbu guarding Temari's home, seeing her intention to force her way through, raised a hand to block their path.

"Miss Temari, the village is currently under lockdown. If there is nothing urgent, please stay at home," an Anbu wearing a mask said in a completely emotionless tone.

"Do you know who you're talking to? Such a major event has happened in the village, and I, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, have no right to know anything? Are you going to detain me here? Then what about the blood my father shed and the effort he put in for the Sand Village?" Temari said righteously, her burning gaze fixed directly on the two Anbu blocking her door.

"Move aside!" After speaking, Temari raised her hand and slapped away the hand of the Anbu in front of her, then swaggered past the Anbu's blockade with Kankurō.

One of the two Anbu responsible for guarding here, a younger one, was about to make a move upon seeing this, but was stopped by his companion.

The one who was stopped looked at his senior with some confusion.

"That's about enough. We've already intercepted them. It was Her Highness the Princess who forced her way through. Her Highness's status is noble; it wouldn't be good for us to harm her," this senior Anbu member said unhurriedly.

"Senior... this isn't good, is it?"

"What's not good about it?" This middle-aged Anbu rolled his eyes at his junior. "With the current pay, just standing here is already doing Lord Acting Kazekage a favor."

"We just came out like that?" Temari and her brother, now on the streets of the Sand Village, were still somewhat in disbelief. They knew that those few Anbu definitely didn't belong to their faction. No matter how stupid Ishiichi Seigaku was, he wouldn't send their own people to watch over them, not to mention that the old guard of the Fourth Kazekage serving in the Anbu had all been suspended from their duties this morning and were idle at home.

"It seems my judgment was correct. Your Sand Village's finances are indeed depleted," Uchiha Douhuan's voice sounded in Temari's ear. "Those two Anbu probably just had their benefits cut. Otherwise, they wouldn't have just let you pass like that."

"So are we going to meet up with my teacher and uncle now?" Temari asked.

"Of course. Go and gather your people now. Strike first and get all of his direct subordinates under control. Then, go directly to your Kazekage Building," Uchiha Douhuan said. "Your Acting Kazekage initiated a lockdown without any urgent incident. This is an action without a just cause. You can totally use this to directly attack him and make him step down."

"In addition, on your way to the Kazekage Building, use your identity as the Princess of the Sand Village to mobilize as many villagers as possible to surround the Kazekage Building with us," Uchiha Douhuan reminded Temari. "You must be quick. Don't give the other party any chance to breathe."

"If we do that, wouldn't we be staging a violent rebellion?" Temari said.

"Heh heh, it's only a rebellion if you fail. If you succeed, it's a revolution," Uchiha Douhuan said in a calm tone.

"I understand. It's not a problem for us to directly force his abdication. But if we mobilize the villagers, will the Anbu attack them?" Temari was still a little worried. Even she, a person from the Sand Village, knew about the Konoha Guard Unit's "six-baton-strikes-in-one-second" method for dealing with troublemaking civilians. So, Temari was also worried that the Sand's Anbu would follow suit.

"Heh heh, you're worried this group of Anbu will give your villagers the six-baton-strikes-in-one-second treatment, right?" Uchiha Douhuan laughed. "Don't worry. Although the Anbu in your village have the strength to support six strikes in one second, your Acting Kazekage probably doesn't understand what the driving force behind it is."

"Alright," Temari nodded. Just then, Baki and Yashamaru also led their respective subordinates and rushed towards Temari's home. On the way, the groups converged.

"Temari, Kankurō, what are you two doing here? The Anbu on the streets didn't give you any trouble, did they?" Yashamaru was the first to ask his nephew and niece with concern.

"No," Temari shook her head, then looked at Baki. "Teacher, you and Kankurō will immediately take people to the Puppet Brigade and get all of Ishiichi Seigaku's direct lineage under control. Kankurō spent some time in the Puppet Brigade; he can lead the way."

"And then, Uncle, the rest of us will go directly to the Kazekage Building. Along the way, we will mobilize as many villagers as possible to come with us, surround the Kazekage Building, and force Ishiichi Seigaku's abdication," Temari calmly issued one order after another.

"Force his abdication directly?" Yashamaru was startled upon hearing his niece's words and hurriedly reminded her, "If we do that, we'll be staging a violent coup!"

Hearing this, Temari took a deep breath, her eyes becoming resolute. Mimicking Uchiha Douhuan's words from earlier, she scanned her teacher and uncle's supporters, her lips parting.

"It's only a rebellion if you fail! If you succeed, it's a revolution! The Sand Village has now fallen into the hands of vermin! I will not see the Sand Village, for which my father paid countless efforts, sink like this. So, I ask you all to join me in eradicating this vermin! Restore a clear and bright world to our Sand Village!"

"Yes! Your Highness the Princess!" These former subordinates of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, were infected by Temari's words and became agitated.

And Baki, at this time, looked at Temari with a few more traces of gratification in his eyes. The princess they supported was finally beginning to learn to do things like her father.

"I'm counting on you, Teacher. The Puppet Brigade is in your hands. You must not give them any chance to reinforce the Kazekage Building," Temari said to Baki.

"Yes!" Baki solemnly accepted the order, then led a team of men towards the Puppet Brigade's station.

As for Temari, she personally led the remaining people, rushing towards the Kazekage Building while inciting the villagers along the way.

It had to be said that Rasa, as the Kage of a village, putting aside his status to personally pan for gold sand to maintain the daily operations of the Sand Village, although somewhat shameful among Kage-level experts, was a real act of grace for most people in the Sand Village.

And now, with Temari, as the princess of the Sand Village, standing up and raising her arm, most of the villagers also knew that it was time to repay Lord Fourth Kazekage's kindness.

Not to mention Ishiichi Seigaku's absurd lockdown order, which had also genuinely affected their lives.

So, Temari didn't expend much effort and gathered a large number of villagers, who converged towards the Kazekage Building.

And the Anbu responsible for the lockdown, seeing this, did not obstruct them much. It was still the same old saying: for this little bit of salary, wandering the streets for a couple of rounds was already considered repaying Lord Acting Kazekage's grace.

In less than twenty minutes, the front of the Kazekage Building was filled with people. The gathered villagers of the Sand Village continuously tried to break through the defensive line formed by an Anbu battalion, while constantly shouting: "Ishiichi Seigaku! Step down!"

"Ishiichi Seigaku is not worthy to be the Kazekage! Get down from there!"

The noisy commotion outside quickly attracted the attention of Ishiichi Seigaku, who was sitting in his office, gazing affectionately at the corpse in the crystal coffin. Ishiichi Seigaku came to the window, looked at the gathered Sand Village villagers below, and the slogans they were shouting, and was instantly enraged.

"Didn't I say the village was under lockdown? What are those Anbu doing!" After putting away the crystal coffin, Ishiichi Seigaku angrily summoned his secretary and reprimanded him.

"Uh, according to the news passed back from the Anbu, they said most of those storming their defensive line are civilians, and they can't act against civilians due to the ninja code," Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary said, steeling himself.

At this moment, a rotten egg came whistling towards the window of the Kazekage's office. After smashing against the glass, it left a filthy trail. Ishiichi Seigaku was enraged upon seeing this, pointed at this stain on the window, and angrily said, "They're already doing this, and you still think they are civilians?"

"They are all thugs! Thugs!" Ishiichi Seigaku roared. "Have all the Anbu move out! Suppress them all for me!"

"Yes!" Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary could only nod in agreement, then walked out of the office to issue the order to the Anbu captain on duty in the Kazekage Building.

Ishiichi Seigaku looked at the ever-growing crowd outside the window and said through gritted teeth, "It seems that after this, it's necessary to form our Sand Village's own Guard Unit. These Anbu can't even handle a lockdown properly!"

However, not long after, Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary brought him some bad news.

"The Anbu captain on duty has refused your order. The reason is still that their Anbu cannot act against civilians," Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary said, bracing himself.

Smash!

A glass water cup shattered at the feet of the secretary who came to deliver the message. Ishiichi Seigaku's eyes were bloodshot as if he were about to eat someone. "How dare they! How dare they!"

"However, the Anbu captain also said that they will guard the gate of the Kazekage Building well and not give these civilians a chance to storm your office," Ishiichi Seigaku's secretary said hurriedly.

"So I should thank them for that, is that it?" Ishiichi Seigaku said angrily.

"Ishiichi Seigaku, listen to me! You, a person who acts so wantonly in the village, persecutes comrades, and disregards the people's livelihood, are you worthy of the Kazekage hat on your head? If you know what's good for you, step down now, take off your Kazekage hat, and then apologize to the people of the Sand Village! We can still show you leniency!" At this time, Temari came to the front of the protesting crowd and shouted at the Kazekage Building.

"Damn it! I said they should have been directly branded as rogue ninjas, but those two old fools just wouldn't agree!" Ishiichi Seigaku said through gritted teeth after seeing Temari below through the window.

"Miss Temari, what now? It looks like Ishiichi Seigaku doesn't plan to show his face today," At this time, a former supporter of the Fourth Kazekage came to Temari's side and inquired.

"No rush," Temari said calmly. "Let's wait for news from Teacher's side first. After he has the Puppet Brigade under control, we will then make our move and rush in directly."

"Yes!"

Another twenty minutes passed. Kankurō rushed to the front of the Kazekage Building and brought Temari the news that the Puppet Brigade was now completely under control.

Temari nodded upon hearing this, then strode towards the Kazekage Building.

"Miss Temari, the Kazekage Building is an important place. Please stop," just as Temari approached the main gate of the Kazekage Building, she was stopped by the Anbu guarding the entrance.

"Move aside," Temari prepared to force her way through with her people, just like she had with the two Anbu guarding her house earlier.

"Miss Temari, your father was also a Kazekage. You should know that one cannot enter the Kazekage Building at will without Lord Kazekage's summons," this Anbu member said.

"At the same time, guarding this place is also our job. Please don't make things difficult for us, okay?" This Anbu member said in an emotionless voice. However, at this moment, Uchiha Douhuan, through the messenger snake hidden in Temari's ninja tool bag, noticed that this person seemed to have deliberately emphasized the words "guarding this place."

"Alright," Temari's eyes narrowed slightly, and she took a few steps back.

"What now? If we can't catch Ishiichi Seigaku today and force him to abdicate, then the crime of our violent coup will be set in stone," Temari asked in a low voice after retreating.

"If you can't get in the front door, can't you just climb through a window?" Uchiha Douhuan reminded with a smile. "He's already given you such a hint."

"Climb through a window?" Hearing this, Temari looked at the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building with some disbelief.

Then, with the attitude of giving it a try, Temari strode towards the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building, then glanced tentatively at the two Anbu guarding the main gate.

Seeing that the other party showed no reaction to this, Temari propped herself up on the window, swung her long leg over, and vaulted into the Kazekage Building.
