The Fifth village Hokage:Uchiha Douhuan

Chapter 241: The Human Puppet Forbidden Jutsu Special Investigation Team

Seeing Temari climb through the window into the Kazekage Building, the ninjas who came with her also followed suit, entering the Kazekage Building from various windows in all sorts of postures.

The two Anbu guarding the main gate, however, acted as if they saw nothing, keeping their eyes fixed forward.

After Temari led Yashamaru and the others into the Kazekage Building, they went straight for the Kazekage's office where Ishiichi Seigaku was. On the way, they happened to encounter the secretary whom Ishiichi Seigaku had sent out to urge the Anbu to suppress the protesting villagers.

The moment they met, the ninjas under Temari quickly struck. The other party was subdued before he could even make a sound.

Subsequently, the group walked straight to the door of the Kazekage's office. The ninjas who had broken in with Temari all looked at her. Temari nodded, placed her hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and prepared to subdue the other party the moment she opened the door.

However, just as Temari's hand gripped the doorknob, she faintly heard Ishiichi Seigaku's voice from inside.

"Jianxi, don't you worry. These thugs can't stop me. I will definitely use the Human Puppet Technique to bring you back to life."

Ishiichi Seigaku's voice was full of deep affection, giving Temari and the few Sand ninjas close to the door goosebumps.

"Jianxi? Is that his wife, Karyōdo Jianxi? But isn't his wife long dead, since the Third Great Ninja War? And, the Human Puppet Technique... isn't this a forbidden jutsu that has been explicitly banned by the village?" Temari's brows furrowed tightly, but she stopped her actions. At the same time, she turned back and signaled the ninjas who had followed her to be quiet. She wanted to hear what other big moves Ishiichi Seigaku could possibly pull.

Temari, separated by a single door, couldn't help but get goosebumps again as she listened to Ishiichi Seigaku constantly repeating those mushy words.

However, in Ishiichi Seigaku's monologue, Temari also confirmed the news that he planned to use the Human Puppet Technique. In the Sand Village, both the creation and manipulation of human puppets were absolutely forbidden techniques. For Ishiichi Seigaku, this stain was enough to have him removed from power and politically liquidated.

Ishiichi Seigaku's behavior was roughly equivalent to a certain Elder Danzō harming his own village's ninjas and desecrating the remains of the First Hokage in Konoha. And the current Danzō in Konoha was a character whose name would stink for ten thousand years. His kneeling statue was still standing in the park not far from the Uchiha clan compound, and people passing by would occasionally spit on it.

After a while, Ishiichi Seigaku also realized that his secretary seemed to be taking a bit too long to go down and deliver the order, so he called out his secretary's name.

However, in the next moment, the door of the Kazekage's office was pushed open directly.

Hearing the noise, Ishiichi Seigaku was just about to turn around to scold the other party while hiding his deceased wife's body. However, before he could make a move, a kunai glowing with a faint purple light, obviously coated with a potent poison, was already at his neck.

"Lord Acting Kazekage is in such high spirits," after entering the door, Temari first mocked Ishiichi Seigaku. However, when she noticed the crystal coffin and the silicone puppet placed next to the desk, she felt a wave of disgust. Although Temari was the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, she rarely came here. In her heart, the Kazekage's office had always been a sacred place. Ishiichi Seigaku's actions were undoubtedly a desecration of their Sand Village's successive Kazekage.

"Temari! How dare you! Forcibly breaking into the Kazekage's office, do you know what crime that is?" Ishiichi Seigaku's face turned green and then red after his hidden secret was exposed, but the kunai hanging at his neck forced him to calm down. He could only stare deadly at Temari.

"Lord Acting Kazekage should first think about how to explain this," Temari and Kankurō walked straight to the crystal coffin. After Kankurō carefully examined the corpse inside the coffin, he said to Temari, "There are traces of human puppet modification."

"How could this be allowed?" Temari looked at Ishiichi Seigaku in disbelief.

"Stay away from her!" Seeing Temari and Kankurō approach his silicone wife, Ishiichi Seigaku was instantly alarmed.

"As the Acting Kazekage, you use your authority to do such things! Are you worthy of the Kazekage hat on your head?" Temari turned her head and said fiercely to Ishiichi Seigaku.

"Sealing Squad! Someone, seal all of this! When he is tried in the future, all of this will be evidence in court!" Temari said sternly.

"No!" Ishiichi Seigaku struggled violently, but as a puppet master, with his puppets not by his side, he couldn't even exert thirty percent of his full strength. His struggles were quickly subdued by two elite Jonin. The sealing squad that came with Temari quickly sealed up the crystal coffin and the puppet.

"No!!!" Ishiichi Seigaku let out a pig-like squeal.

The cry was heartbreaking to hear and tear-jerking to see. However, the faces of most of the Sand Village ninjas present seemed to be holding back laughter.

The current situation was already very clear. Combined with the content heard at the door just now, Ishiichi Seigaku was clearly planning to have a forbidden love affair with his puppet. They had not expected that Ishiichi Seigaku, who had always shown a tough exterior in the Sand Village, would have such a hobby in private.

"Don't waste time. Take this guy into custody in a place you can completely control at the fastest speed. Otherwise, when the two elders of your village react, things will become more complicated," Uchiha Douhuan reminded Temari at this time.

"Seal his chakra, then escort him to the Jonin Division for close supervision!" Temari said hurriedly upon hearing this.

Soon, Temari's group escorted Ishiichi Seigaku, whose entire body's chakra was sealed, out of the Kazekage Building. The two Anbu guarding the door, upon seeing this, directly made way under Ishiichi Seigaku's murderous gaze. Anyway, the order was to guard the gate to prevent rioters from entering, it didn't say people couldn't go out.

After walking out the gate, the ninjas and civilians who came to participate in the protest immediately broke out in cheers upon seeing the scene of Ishiichi Seigaku being escorted.

"We welcome Her Highness the Princess for setting things right!" At this time, a ninja whom Temari had arranged in advance according to Uchiha Douhuan's instructions, immediately took the lead and shouted upon seeing Temari.

"Her Highness the Princess! Her Highness the Princess!" The front of the Kazekage Building was instantly enveloped in a fanatical atmosphere. The people who came to participate in the protest all shouted Temari's name.

After the cheers had sounded for a while, Temari waved her hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

After the people in front of the Kazekage Building quieted down, they all looked at Temari.

Temari took a deep breath, then said, "Everyone, just now, in the Kazekage's office, we found evidence of the Acting Kazekage Ishiichi Seigaku violating the laws of the Sand Village! Everyone should be able to feel that after my father, Lord Fourth Kazekage, sacrificed himself to protect the village, our Sand Village has been in an extremely difficult situation. However, Ishiichi Seigaku, as the Acting Kazekage, instead of thinking about leading the Sand Village out of its current predicament, has wantonly eliminated dissent for his own selfish gain. Now, he has even used the convenience of his position to research forbidden jutsu! We absolutely cannot accept such a person to tarnish our Will of Wind!"

"That's right!"

"Princess Temari! You are the best candidate for the Fifth!" At this time, the plant who had been arranged in the crowd beforehand shouted again.

"Princess Temari! We support you to become the Fifth!"

With a few people taking the lead, the protesting civilians also joined in. Although they might not know if Temari could be a good Kazekage, Temari was, after all, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who had let them live a good life for a while. She was definitely better than this fellow Ishiichi Seigaku, who imposed lockdowns whenever he was idle.

What's more, the atmosphere was already here. So, the civilians present also started shouting along.

"Let's put the matter of the Kazekage aside for now. I can understand everyone's feelings and thank you all for your support. However, the current priority is to thoroughly investigate the crimes committed by this scourge of the Sand Village and restore a clear and bright world to our Sand Village!" Temari said to the ninjas and civilians in front of the Kazekage Building. "After that, if everyone is still willing to support me, I am also willing to take over my father's responsibility and lead everyone, under the guidance of the Will of Wind, to reshape the glory of our Sand!"

"Her Highness the Princess!"

"Lady Temari!"

"Lord Fifth Kazekage!"

The crowd, upon hearing Temari's words, became even more fanatical. A few even directly shouted the slogan of "Lord Fifth Kazekage."

And Temari, amidst this cheering, watched as Baki, who had finished dealing with the Puppet Brigade, came over and escorted Ishiichi Seigaku towards the station of the Sand Village's Jonin Division, which was the main base of their faction.

Subsequently, Temari turned around and entered the Kazekage Building directly.

After returning to the Kazekage's office, Temari looked up at the photos of the successive Kazekage hanging in the office, a dazed look appearing on her face.

They had succeeded just like that? Was it too easy? It had been less than 10 hours since she and Kankurō returned to the Sand Village, and a major obstacle to her succession as Kazekage had become her prisoner?

"What's wrong?" After Baki went to interrogate Ishiichi Seigaku and Yashamaru went to take control of the Anbu inside the Kazekage Building, only Temari and her brother were left in the Kazekage's office. The messenger snake controlled by Uchiha Douhuan simply crawled onto the desk. Seeing Temari's dazed look, it asked.

"We've... succeeded in the coup just like that?" Temari looked at the messenger snake and said with some disbelief.

"Did you think that a coup is something that requires a long time to prepare, plus a precise plan, and then a process of nine deaths and one life?" Uchiha Douhuan couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this.

Temari nodded.

"For something like a coup, the more you want it to be foolproof, the more unknown accidents will occur," Uchiha Douhuan said. "On the contrary, if you are well-prepared on a daily basis and act decisively when an opportunity arises, the success rate will be greater."

"The foundation your father left for you in the Sand Village is too deep. So, after your opponent made a mistake, you didn't even need to make any preparations; you could take him down just by striking directly," Uchiha Douhuan laughed. Compared to his own coup in Konoha back then, this coup in the Sand Village could be said to be on easy mode. Firstly, the foundation of Temari's coup was all ready-made, left to her by her father. She just needed to inherit the foundation her father left behind. Plus, her opponent was a fool who couldn't figure out the situation at all. That's why Temari had the illusion that a coup was very easy.

"However, do you think it's a bit too early to think that everything is settled? Capturing Ishiichi Seigaku can be said to be the easiest part of your coup. Don't forget whose credit it was that he could become this Acting Kazekage," Uchiha Douhuan reminded.

"The two elders..." Temari also reacted at this time. Compared to capturing this fool Ishiichi Seigaku, Chiyo and Ebizō were the most troublesome part of this coup. The power of the other party was deeply rooted in the village. Previously, many times, even her father, the Fourth Kazekage, couldn't do much about them sometimes. If she couldn't...

"Lord Hokage, what should I do?" Thinking of this, Temari immediately asked humbly.

"The two elders in your village are nominally the Kazekage's advisors, but after so many years, the power they have cultivated in the village is already too big to be removed. If they haven't openly violated the laws of the Sand Village, the possibility of you getting rid of them like you did with Ishiichi Seigaku is very low," Uchiha Douhuan said.

Compared to those old scoundrels in Konoha, Chiyo and Ebizō could more or less be considered qualified village elders. Although they had some selfish motives in their actions, at least they were still for the good of their own village. And except for Chiyo hiding some things for her precious grandson, they hadn't done anything to feather their own nests at the public's expense. So, it was still a bit difficult to directly overthrow them.

"However, you can slowly eat away at the power in their hands. And the reason for doing so is also ready-made," Uchiha Douhuan said. "In your Sand Village, the person with the most exquisite puppet skills should be your Elder Chiyo, right?"

"Yes," Temari nodded. She quickly reacted to Uchiha Douhuan's meaning. "Could it be..."

"Ishiichi Seigaku was just a Jonin before. So where exactly did he get the technique to create human puppets? You, as the Kazekage candidate whom the people of the Sand Village look up to now, have to investigate this matter thoroughly, don't you think?"

"And then take the opportunity to strip them of their power?" Temari understood Uchiha Douhuan's meaning, but still said with some confusion.

"If it were really that easy to strip them of their power, your father would have had them retire long ago," Uchiha Douhuan said after shaking his head. "Even if Ishiichi Seigaku really had some deal with these two old fellows, they can also easily explain this matter. Just push the blame onto Ishiichi Seigaku and it's over."

"So," Uchiha Douhuan said meaningfully. "What you need to do is to set up a special task force to investigate this matter, and then keep investigating it..."
