Chapter 338: Something's Wrong in the Sand Village Again

Miss Matsuri was an oddball. As her friend and also a member of the "Lord Gaara Fan Support Club," Miss Yukata was even more of an oddball. This girl with a nice smile was a 100% sweet airhead. Her basic ninja knowledge was on par with Naruto's before his remedial lessons. A pure academic failure, apart from the collagen on her face, she was utterly useless.

Temari chose a stone house near the village gate as a gathering point.

More than half of the ninjas who came to meet them were female ninjas, and they were all young and pretty.

Ino didn't see many who could fight.

She looked at Temari, who was a little nervous.

Seeing her strange look now, she asked irritably, "What?"

Ino lowered her voice. "Are all these girls in love with Gaara? Are you choosing a concubine for your brother? My goodness, you really are the best big sister in the ninja world. I'm so impressed."

She had a bit of a toothache. Sending such a large group of girls back to Konoha would certainly liven up the amateur life of the younger generation in Konoha, but… this group of female ninjas were basically just pretty faces; not a single one could fight.

A large group of chattering girls gathered together was just chaotic.

"Big Sister, I heard that your Konoha Village has a female ninja named Yamanaka Ino. I heard she fought with Lord Gaara and was beaten very badly. Do you know that Yamanaka Ino?" The naturally ditzy Yukata asked Ino directly, making her laugh with anger.

You group of half-grown kids, you must have been talking a lot of smack about me behind my back.

Needless to say, the main culprit was definitely Temari!

She didn't say anything, just glanced sideways at Temari, as if to ask, You said all this, right?

Temari's eyes flickered. She certainly couldn't say that a Konoha female ninja had pinned her brother, the former Fifth Kazekage, to the ground and beaten him up. Did Gaara not need his face anymore?

Talking bad about someone behind their back and being exposed on the spot was just awkward.

Their group was growing larger and larger. Shikamaru suggested three times that the team should gather outside the village, that those who could get out first should get out, but Temari refused each time.

"This doesn't make sense. Why is this strongwoman so stubborn at this time?" Shikamaru couldn't say much either, so he could only consult Ino.

He could see that Temari was very nervous, and this nervousness didn't seem to be just because she was leaving the village; there seemed to be something else in it.

"Let's be careful. If there's a problem, we'll retreat first," Ino said her judgment, and Shikamaru immediately nodded.

They were currently inside the Sand Village. Such large hidden villages all had special sensory formulas. Once Ino activated her sensory ability, she would definitely be discovered by the sensory squad.

Unless it was a last resort, she would not rashly use her sensory ability. Now, she was severely lacking in information, as passive as a blind person.

"Lady Temari! Lady Temari! It's not good!" A young Sand ninja ran in in a hurry. The thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy's face was full of panic. "Lord Kankurō, Lord Kankurō has been captured by Elder Kōsa and the others!"

Temari, as the big sister, often shouldered half of a mother's responsibilities. She did her best to take care of her two younger brothers. At this moment, hearing that Kankurō had been captured, her eyes turned red.

But before she could think about how to deal with this matter, an even bigger change occurred.

A middle-aged man wearing a white robe, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, dressed in the traditional Sand Village elder's attire, rushed into the room. His chest and the corners of his mouth were covered in blood, and half of his face had turned a purplish color. He was poisoned, very deeply. The middle-aged man stumbled into the room and fainted not long after.

"Elder Ryūsa?! The elder is poisoned! Who among you can detoxify him?" Temari was extremely anxious in her heart, but she still forced herself to calm down, anxiously looking at the ninjas behind her.

Ino glanced from a distance. Huh? I recognize this poison. This is Sasori's deadly poison.

"Hey, here's the antidote for you." She threw out a tube of light green solvent.

Temari didn't hesitate and immediately injected it into the Sand elder.

This was the antidote developed by Tsunade, and its effect was first-class. The Sand elder soon regained consciousness. He grabbed Temari's sleeve tightly. "Yūra… Yūra has gone mad! Kōsa has also gone mad! They want to destroy the Sand Village! Cough, cough, cough—"

There were a total of seven people in the former high-level leadership of the Sand Village.

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara; Baki, who was in charge of the Ninja Academy and the daily ninja promotion work; Yūra, who was in charge of the village's defense and intelligence work; the moderate Elder Ryūsa before them; the neutral Elder Sajō; the hardline Elder Kōsa; and Elder Jōseki, who was extremely dissatisfied with Gaara serving as the Fifth Kazekage.

A small temple with strong demonic winds, a shallow pond with many turtles; each person had their own ideas.

When Gaara became a rogue ninja, the six of them formed an Elder Council and fought every day. Kōsa and Jōseki, with the support of many ninja clans, won over the neutral Sajō and Yūra. With a four-to-two advantage, they pushed the forces of Baki and Ryūsa into a corner.

Her own brother had been captured, and the elder of her own faction had been poisoned. Temari was extremely angry and wanted to grab her Giant Folding Fan and go save them.

"Are you stupid? Listen to what's outside!" Ino stopped her, gesturing for her to look outside.

Chaos! The Sand Village was in chaos! A large number of Sand Village civilians were running wildly, followed by a stampede. Countless people were trampled to death, but no one cared about that now.

The civilians were running, and some of the ninjas on duty at the village gate were at a loss, not knowing what had happened in the village.

"Something big must have happened, but there's too little information to analyze." Shikamaru thought hard, then he looked at Ino, meaning, Sense it, let's not guess blindly.

Ino looked back at Gaara's "harem." The girls, who were like little sparrows before, were now huddled together, clearly incapable of dealing with a crisis.

"Do you have anyone from the sensory squad here? Do you know the specific type of sensory formula your village's sensory squad uses?"

A group of girls all shook their heads.

"...Forget it, I'll do it myself!" Like the Second Hokage, Ino put her index and middle fingers together, squatted down, and lightly tapped the ground with her fingers, using the slight vibrations of the ground to amplify her sensory range.

Her sensing triggered the Sand Village's alarm, but now it was chaotic, and the ninjas of the sensory squad were already in a mess, so no one paid attention to her.

She looked over the entire Sand Village and became more and more confused. What's wrong with these people in the Sand Village? Have they all gone mad?

Many strange chakra reactions appeared in her perception, a bit like her dark music concert, but so much time had passed, the bit of Yin Release chakra from that time should have been exhausted long ago. Had it mutated?

A biochemical crisis in the Sand Village?

She quickly pulled Temari and Shikamaru into her sensory link. After a second's hesitation, she also pulled Choji in.

It was the first time Temari had seen such a huge sensory range, and she was startled. Fortunately, she was the Kazekage's daughter and had basic knowledge, knowing what was important.
