Jiraiya waited to arrive at Naruto's residence, only to find that no one was home.
This gave him an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong.
…
On the other side,
Naruto and Temari were almost at Sunagakure.
At this moment, Naruto truly felt the joy of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But Temari in his arms was a little confused.
This was the first time she had been held so intimately by a boy.
In her mind, she and Naruto were still only at the beginning stage…
After a while, Temari couldn't calm herself and asked, "Can you only use Flying Thunder God when you're holding me?"
At that moment, Temari was in a princess carry.
Naruto's left arm was around her waist, and his right hand was on her thigh to secure her.
Under the pressure of his hand, the soft, smooth skin of her thigh slightly indented.
Naruto didn't expect it to feel so… good.
Hearing Temari's complaint, he replied humbly, "Yeah… I'm still a novice, and I'm not sure where the Flying Thunder God kunai will land, so I can only hold you to avoid mistakes."
Temari lowered her head, feeling Naruto's body heat, and grew increasingly nervous.
Hateful… if you take advantage, take advantage. Where else could I find such a suitable excuse?
Fortunately, the Flying Thunder God kunai reached its destination quickly.
Soon, Naruto crossed a river and a desert and arrived at the entrance of Sunagakure.
When they reached the village, Naruto no longer needed to hold Temari.
He set her down and looked around the desolate surroundings. "Your place is a bit remote… ah no, I mean… your Sand Shinobi's resilience is impressive. I didn't mean that the environment here is bad."
Temari shook her head slightly. "It's fine. We're used to being in a remote country."
Naruto was silent.
Indeed, Sunagakure was not as developed as Konoha.
When he had watched anime, he hadn't realized the gap was so large.
It felt to him like the difference between the countryside in his previous life and the countryside of the 1970s.
While they were talking, a scream suddenly echoed from the village.
Temari's eyes widened. "Something's wrong with Gaara's seal again!"
As the event unfolded, a system prompt appeared in Naruto's mind.
[Ding~ System Mission Released: Stabilize Shukaku
Reward: Simulation Opportunity +1]
Naruto was slightly startled.
Yo? This system is smart—it sends tasks wherever I go. Could it be that I've entered a new scene and can unlock new missions?
He flicked out the Flying Thunder God kunai and grabbed Temari's hand, waiting for the kunai to land in the village.
In an instant, the two were teleported to the scene of chaos.
Naruto looked around.
The streets were in disarray. Gaara had lost control, and the villagers were panicking.
Rasa was using the placer gold to suppress Gaara's half-tailed beast form, while many Sand Shinobi evacuated civilians.
Naruto immediately moved forward.
Temari, behind him, widened her eyes. "Hey! You can use Flying Thunder God without holding me!"
Her voice was faint, but Naruto heard it.
It's over… she noticed. What should I do?
He decided not to worry for now.
First, suppress Shukaku.
Naruto shouted to Rasa, "Kazekage-sama, step back!"
Rasa's calm expression instantly changed. "Uzumaki Naruto? No!"
He had heard of Naruto's strength.
Power like that was one thing in the Forest of Death. But if it appeared in Sunagakure…
Damn it! Are we still alive?
Naruto saw Gaara attempting to rush toward Rasa. Before he could act further, he formed a seal with one hand:
"Wood Style – Myojin Gate!"
That's right. Naruto's Myojin Gate had evolved into Wood Style – Myojin Gate.
Now it not only had sealing power but also the ability to absorb chakra.
Several Myojin Gates fell from the sky, instantly covering Gaara.
Shukaku's chakra was suppressed, and Gaara collapsed to the ground.
Even Rasa felt his body sink under the Myojin Gate's effect. His chakra went out of control, and his movements were paralyzed.
Naruto stepped forward and pulled Rasa out of the gate's sealing range.
Rasa regained independent control, taking two hurried steps back while staring at the massive Myojin Gate in shock.
Sealing technique… this is incredible!
Temari walked over from a distance, initially worried about the Tailed Beast going berserk, but she saw the situation had been resolved.
Her mind raced. When Naruto fought Shukaku in the Forest of Death, it was just ninjutsu vs. brute force… How could he learn such an overwhelming sealing technique so quickly?
He truly was a genius beyond ordinary understanding.
But this didn't stop her from giving him a scolding look.
Naruto cleared his throat and quickly asked Rasa, "What's the situation with Gaara's seal?"
Sure enough, this diverted Temari's attention.
"It was originally sealed by Grandmother Chiyo," she replied first.
Naruto nodded slightly, his eyes quietly observing Gaara, who was still subdued by the Myojin Gate.
The chakra of One-Tail Shukaku was fully suppressed, and Gaara returned to his normal state.
[Ding~ System Task Completed: Simulation Opportunity +1]
[Ding~ System Mission Released: Strengthen Gaara's Tailed Beast Seal
Reward: Simulation Opportunity +1]
Realizing the system's new mission, Naruto's mind was already made up.
The system's tasks would now appear faster in new places—or perhaps only after certain plot triggers, which he could choose to accept or ignore.
Naruto memorized the system's characteristics and then adjusted the Myojin Gate.
Gaara fell into a deep sleep.
Temari and Rasa followed him closely.
Rasa glanced at Temari, as if wanting to ask something.
Temari nodded slightly, putting him at ease.
Previously, due to inter-village relations and the need to hide Konoha's hidden plans, Rasa had devised such a trick to distract everyone.
Now, seeing that Naruto and Temari were cooperating so well, Rasa didn't regret his choice.
Naruto knelt to inspect Gaara's seal.
Shukaku's voice suddenly shouted, "You brat! Get away! Don't touch me!"
Naruto clicked his tongue. "Little tanuki, so bad-tempered? Want my Kurama to come out and teach you a lesson?"
Rasa was shocked.
Damn it… better stop reminiscing about the past. One Shukaku is more than enough for us. We at Sunagakure definitely cannot handle the Nine-Tails.
