Chapter 393 Return to Sand Village
The next morning.
Zhixiang woke up from his sleep and saw Temari sleeping in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.
Then, he let Temari go and got up to stretch his body.
Throwing two pieces of wood to rekindle the bonfire with only embers left, Zhixiang took the third-generation Kazekage puppet and sat in front of the fire to study it carefully.
He was not very interested in puppetry, but he was very interested in Scorpion's skills in making human puppets.
Being able to make human puppets retain their ninjutsu and skills before death, in Zhixiang's opinion, is not much worse than the technique of Impure World Reincarnation.
However, Zhixiang did not study puppetry much, so after watching for a long time, he could not see why it was reasonable.
In desperation, he could only change his direction to try to control the third-generation Kazekage puppet.
Fortunately, he had thought about making his own Six Paths of Pain before, so he also dabbled in puppetry.
So after many attempts, Zhixiang was finally able to control the third-generation Kazekage puppet to make simple movements.
After that, he put down the Third Kazekage puppet and went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Until the morning.
Temari, who had not slept well the night before, woke up dazedly from her sleep.
She just woke up and smelled the fragrance of food.
When she stood up, she found that Zhixiang had already prepared the meal not far away.
After bringing the last dish to a small earthen table, Zhixiang pointed to a small pool next to it and smiled at Temari:
"Wash your face and brush your teeth, then eat."
That was the washbasin he made with earth escape and water escape.
I have to say that ninjutsu is really very convenient in many cases.
"Yeah." Temari responded and came to the pool to start washing.
After washing, she sat down at the dining table obediently and ate with Zhixiang.
After breakfast, she cleaned up the camp for a while.
Zhixiang took Temari's hand as a matter of course, took her to jump onto the Third Kazekage puppet with its iron sand wings spread out, and flew to the location of the Sand Village with Temari.
Seeing the puppet of the Third Kazekage at her feet, Temari hesitated several times.
The Third Kazekage is the Kage of her Sand Village. Being used as a puppet by others is a very embarrassing thing for the Sand Village.
However, this was snatched by Zhixiang from the Red Sand Scorpion, so Temari couldn't say it.
Seeing Temari like this, Zhixiang smiled and said, "After returning to the Sand Village, I will give it to the Sand Village as part of the betrothal gift to marry you in the future. What do you think?"
Originally, Zhixiang wanted to give the Third Kazekage to Ye Cang as a gift to enhance her prestige in the Sand Village, but he got the human puppet as Aburame Zhixiang, and giving it directly to Ye Cang would reveal his identity.
Hearing the word "betrothal gift", Temari blushed and muttered, "I didn't say I wanted to marry you, a playboy."
Zhixiang spread his hands, "Then I won't marry you."
"You"
Hearing this, Temari glared at Zhixiang.
Zhixiang chuckled, held Temari's face and kissed her.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "Then tell me whether I should marry her or not in the future."
Temari blushed, lowered her head shyly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Let's marry her."
With the iron wings of the Third Kazekage puppet, Zhixiang and Temari arrived at the Sand Village in the evening.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Sand Village was a little weird because of the strong return of the "dead man" Ye Cang.
The hero of the Sand Village was betrayed by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. This explosive news shocked the villagers of the Sand Village and made them worry, fearing that Ye Cang would retaliate and affect them.
At the same time, the Fourth Kazekage had just died, and Ye Cang returned to the village to prepare to seize the position of the Fifth Kazekage. This made the people of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's line extremely frightened and worried, fearing that they would be purged after Ye Cang took the position of Kazekage.
Under such circumstances, the Sand Village was divided into three parts around Ye Cang's identity.
One part naturally sympathized with Ye Cang's experience, supported her to become the Kazekage, and hoped that she, with her strong strength, could lead the Sand Village out of the predicament.
This part accounted for the vast majority of the Sand Village.
Those ninjas who had seen Ye Cang's powerful strength in Konoha basically belonged to this part.
Another part was naturally Luo Sha's old subordinates, who strongly opposed and were ready to nominate Gaara as the Kazekage.
However, as soon as these people had this idea, they found that Gaara and Kankuro had begun to call Ye Cang teacher, which made them more desperate and more afraid of Ye Cang's methods.
The last part was neutral, watching the development of the situation, or not caring about these at all, such as Grandma Chiyo.
At this time, Temari's return to the village once again gave some hope to Luo Sha's old subordinates. They hoped to fight Ye Cang through Temari.
Therefore, when Temari just stepped into the Sand Village, someone immediately came to her side and welcomed her in respectfully.
Temari knew what these people were thinking.
Temari's teacher Maki came to her side, glanced at those people and said:
"Temari, don't let them use you."
In Maki's opinion, it was a great blessing for Sand Village that Ye Cang could come back to the village to clean up the mess and succeed the fifth Kazekage.
If Ye Cang just quit, Sand Village would be miserable, and it would probably be expelled from the five major ninja villages in a short time.
So he would never allow Temari to get involved in this matter.
"I know, teacher." Temari nodded,
Then, she looked at Luo Sha's old subordinates and said:
"Let's go, I'll give you an explanation."
After Temari sighed, she walked straight to the courtyard where Ye Cang was with her ambition.
These people were his father's men after all, and Temari didn't want to see them purged.
Ma Ji and Luo Sha's old men were stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
Inside Ye Cang's residence.
Ye Cang, who had received the news, was sitting in the hall, silently looking at Temari who was walking in.
Next to Hagura, stood Gaara, Kankuro and Maki.
For Ye Cang, it didn't matter whether they killed those old men of Rasa. She just wanted to see what Temari, the former princess of Sand Ninja Village, was going to do.
Temari took a scroll from Shixiang's hand, took a deep breath, and came to Ye Cang.
Then, she knelt down on one knee, held the scroll in her hand, and said respectfully:
"The fifth-generation Kazekage-sama, this is the third-generation Kazekage-sama who I took back from the Red Sand Scorpion and had been made into a human puppet on my way back. Please take a look."
After saying that, Temari opened the scroll, took out the third-generation Kazekage puppet, and placed it at Ye Cang's feet.
Hearing Temari's words, there was a lot of hidden information behind them.
For a moment, the entire audience was shocked and in an uproar.
