Chapter 257 I'm going to buy a bougainvillea
"Baiyun Qingye, don't look down on me!"
Kankuro placed the humanoid puppet, which was bound with bandages, beside him.
Before he could even remove the bandages, Baiyun Qingye vanished from the spot.
Before Kankuro could even process what was happening, his body had already been sent flying backward.
After a loud bang.
Kankuro slammed directly into the wall.
Smoke and dust immediately filled the air.
His body was completely embedded in the wall.
"Ok?"
Baiyun Qingye frowned.
The feeling of that hit just now was a little off.
He looked at the shards on his fist and vaguely understood something.
Then he looked at the bandaged puppet standing next to him.
The next moment, the bandage was quickly untied without any interference.
The real Kankuro revealed his true form from beneath the bandages.
He was still holding a kunai in his hand, seemingly planning to hide it inside and launch a sneak attack.
However, it was discovered by Shirokumo Aoba beforehand.
Kankuro looked somewhat bewildered. He first glanced at Shirokumo Aoba, then looked at the puppets in the ruins.
Suddenly, she cried out in anguish, "My crow!"
Puppet masters are a specialty of Sunagakure, a type of ninja unique to the village.
But by now, it has long since declined.
Among the younger generation, only Kankuro is still tinkering with puppets.
This crow was something Kankuro had gone through a great deal of effort to obtain.
He cherished it immensely, carrying it with him even when eating, sleeping, and bathing.
Just like his own wife.
He couldn't bear to see the other party suffer any damage.
He immediately ran towards the crow's location.
However, Baiyun Qingye stood in front of the other party.
Kankuro's expression changed slightly, and then he slid to his knees at lightning speed.
I surrender!
This scene left many people dumbfounded. He gave up without even a scratch?
However, Kankuro didn't care about any of that.
His wife was almost broken apart by this naturally evil white-haired brat!
He was anxious to see what was going on.
Maki, sitting in the audience, frowned, even though he could tell at a glance that the difference in their abilities was like an insurmountable chasm.
But surrendering so readily is really a disgrace to Sunagakure.
He glanced at Gaara's expression again, originally thinking that the other party might not be able to suppress his killing intent.
But they noticed that the other person's expression remained unchanged.
She glanced at Temari again and noticed that, far from being disappointed by her younger brother's surrender, she seemed...
He seemed somewhat relieved.
What's the situation?
Maki suddenly realized that his three students had become somewhat unfamiliar in the past few days.
"White Cloud Green Leaf wins!"
Hayate Moonlight announced the outcome of the battle.
Shirakumo Aoba glanced at Kankuro, who looked like his wife had died, and then turned and walked back to the audience seats.
"As expected of Aoba!"
Several people stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
"Next match: Rock Lee vs. Gaara!"
Hayate Gekko announced the members for the next match.
"Is it finally my turn?!"
A green-skinned man suddenly darted out from the crowd.
"Xiao Li, keep going! I believe in your youth!"
Naruto gave Rock Lee a thumbs up.
"Naruto, I will definitely win. I have no regrets about my youth."
Rock Lee also gave a thumbs up.
To be honest, the relationship between Naruto and Rock Lee is quite complicated.
Logically speaking, Rock Lee is a year older than Naruto, so he should be Naruto's senior.
But Naruto became Might Guy's disciple earlier than Rock Lee, so he should be the senior disciple.
"If both of my disciples can become Chunin, then I will have no regrets about my youth."
Might Guy looked at his two disciples who shared a deep mutual respect, and tears streamed down his face.
"That might be a bit difficult."
Kakashi's expression was serious.
Asuma, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. "That Gaara doesn't seem like a simple character."
An ordinary genin wouldn't have such a terrifying killing intent.
Even so, I still believe in Xiao Li's youth!
Matt Kay's expression was resolute.
After glancing at the competition list, Baiyun Qingye also thought about it briefly.
"Qingye, what are you going to do?"
Yakumo looked at Shirokumo Aoba, who was about to leave, and asked in confusion.
"I'm going to Sunagakure to buy a bougainvillea. You all stay here and don't move around."
"?"
After saying that, amidst the bewildered expressions of the girls, Shirokumo Aoba walked towards the location of the Sand Ninja trio.
"You bastard, you're not here to mock me on purpose, are you?"
Kankuro looked at Shirakumo Aoba approaching with a very unpleasant expression.
Maki also looked at the other party curiously, but didn't say anything. He also wanted to see what the other party's purpose was.
Shirokumo Aoba ignored Kankuro's clownish behavior and looked at Temari first.
"Temari, congratulations on passing the preliminaries. That wind release technique you used just now was really cool, and the battle was quite exciting."
"Th...thank you."
Temari was stunned for a moment, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Your match just now was also very exciting."
Kankuro: So?
You think it's exciting to see your brother getting beaten up, right?
At that moment, Kankuro felt like he was the outsider.
However, neither of them paid any attention to his thoughts.
Shirokumo Aoba walked over to Gaara again and naturally put her arm around his shoulder.
At this moment, not only Temari and Kankuro, but even Maki's heart was in his throat.
He was genuinely afraid that Gaara would lose control at this moment, causing their village's plan to fail.
However, to his even greater surprise, Gaara did not lose control; instead, he seemed to relax in some inexplicable way.
"Gaara, we're friends, right?"
Bai Yunqingye said softly.
"Friend...?"
Gaara looked completely bewildered; this was a completely unfamiliar word to him.
"Is there...something wrong?"
Gaara felt uneasy, as it was the first time someone had been so close to him, and it gave him goosebumps all over.
"Xiao Li is my friend, so go easy on him later. I'll treat you to dinner."
"..."
After a long silence, Gaara nodded. "Mm."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Aren't we going to watch the game together?" Temari asked instinctively.
"No, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"?"
Maki stared blankly at Bai Yunqingye's departing figure.
When did Gaara become someone who can put his arm around people's shoulders?
and……
That's the enemy! With a major battle imminent, our own trump card is siding up with an important figure on the enemy side, chatting happily.
What kind of nonsense is this?
There is a traitor among us!
Come to think of it, the three of them seem unaware of the village's plan this time...
"Kankuro, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."
After regaining his senses, Maki patted Kankuro on the shoulder.
He discovered that of his three students, only Kankuro was relatively normal.
But Kankuro was also a little confused.
"The match begins!"
As the sound of moonlight and gusts of wind faded away.
The battle between Rock Lee and Gaara is about to begin.
