The afterglow of the sun, which was about to set, shone on the yellow sand in the sky, reflecting a color like gold, and five black shadows slowly moved rapidly in the direction of Sand Ninja Village from a distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sky, five black birds were galloping, and five figures were squatting on top of them......

Kakashi, Sakura-chan, and Temari were closing their eyes to recuperate, while Naruto, who wore a fox mask to maintain the Nine-Tails Chakra, and Sakai, who maintained ninjutsu, were still standing soberly on top of Asuka.

Naruto had a mask on his face, and he couldn't tell his current expression, but it was not difficult to tell from his slightly trembling hands that the Nine-Tails Chakra that had lasted for a day made him a little struggling.

And on the other side, Sakai, who maintains ninjutsu, is not to mention, although Naruto lent him a steady stream of chakra, but it is still his body that releases ninjutsu, and the meridians on his body are already a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Temari, who had his eyes closed, didn't know why, suddenly woke up, let out a soft "ah", and then turned his head around to observe.

"What's wrong?"

Except for Sakai, who was preoccupied with maintaining ninjutsu, several others had their eyes on Temari's face.

"No, it's nothing, I just accidentally fell asleep...... Had a nightmare......"

Temari wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head.

"I dreamed that when I was a child, I played hide and seek with Kankuro, and as a result, he seemed to get lost in the desert and ended up dehydrated and collapsed in the desert......"

"Miss Temari must be too worried......

"Probably, but ......"

Temari's face was a little pale......

"This kind of omen also appeared when I had an accident with Airo, and the water cup I used to drink tea suddenly burst for some reason......"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and it was at this moment that Temari let out another exclamation.

"That's ......"

Everyone looked in the direction of Temari's field of vision, and a black humanoid shadow appeared on the ground of yellow sand.

"I guess it's just a resting traveler......"

Sakura said comfortingly, but Kakashi, who was standing on the bird in front, frowned, and his rich experience made him feel that something was wrong......

So, he habitually opened the forehead guard of his left eye, revealing the writing wheel eye of the three-hooked jade under the forehead, and looked intently at the shadow that looked a little like a human shape on the ground.

"Oh no, that's a ninja from the sand ninja! Sakai, hurry up and land! ”

"Understood!"

Sakai, who was covered with a dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead, replied, and then directed Asuka to fly towards the black shadow on the ground.

"Kankuro!"

When Asuka landed to a certain extent, everyone could finally see the details of the black shadow on the ground, and it was indeed the puppeteer who had participated in the middle ninja exam with me Airo and Temari three years ago.

Temari let out a mournful roar, and without waiting for the bird to land, he jumped out of the bird's back, opened the fan inserted in his back, and the whole person sat on the fan and glided towards Kankuro quickly.

When everyone sat on the bird and fell to the ground, Temari was holding the extremely weak Kankuro and sobbing, she was once extremely strong at this time, she seemed so helpless and weak at this time.

After Sakura saw Kankuro's skin color and lips, her entire pupils shrank slightly, and she hurriedly came to Kankuro's side and checked his condition with medical ninjutsu.

"It's so poisonous!"

Temari looked at Sakura with expectant eyes: "Miss Sakura......"

"Don't worry, I'm Tsunade-sama's personal disciple!" Sakura said with some pride, and at the same time, her hands turned out a faint green light, and began to treat Kankuro: "But I can only stabilize his condition now, to completely cure his illness, I need a better treatment environment, and I need a lot of precious medicinal materials......"

"No problem, we have all these in our village!" Temari stood up with Kankuro in his arms, and at this time, perhaps because Sakura's treatment had taken effect, the weakened Kankuro regained some weak consciousness.

"I love Luo...... Over there...... Take...... Save him...... Scorpion of the Red Sand...... Be careful......"

Kankuro said as he pointed weakly with his right hand in the direction of the retreat of the last scorpion he saw, and as a result, a figure rushed out with a "shudder".

"Naruto!"

Kakashi shouted, and with some helplessness, he turned back to a few people and ordered:

"You guys go to the Sand Ninja Village first, Sakura, you treat this Sand Ninja first, and I'll go and bring that Naruto guy back......"

After saying that, Kakashi turned and ran out in the direction Naruto was running, and at the same time, he secretly took out a charm from his pocket that Jiraiya had given him, and looked at the figure with some concern at the two chakra tails.

"Gojo, his limit is five now, so when four tails pop out of his back, you must stop him......"

Thinking of this, Kakashi put the spell in his hand back into his arms and chased after Naruto, who was running farther and farther away, a trace of bitterness in his mouth...... Naruto's physical fitness in this form is much stronger than him, and he can't catch up!

On the other side, Sakai, who had lifted the ninjutsu and relaxed the meridians, took out the scroll behind his back again, and this time in order to bring the weak Kankuro, Sakai summoned a huge ink bird large enough to ride with four people, and prepared to take everyone to the Sand Ninja Village as soon as possible according to Kakashi's order.

"Wait a minute......"

At this time, the weakened Kankuro spoke again.

"Take it...... That one...... Ahem"

Kankuro pointed to a broken puppet arm that had fallen on the ground with his finger and said with difficulty.

"There's ...... there. Ahem...... Where ......"

Before Kankuro could finish his words, he suddenly began to gasp loudly, and Sakura hurriedly increased the input of the medical chakra.

"Kanjiuro, don't talk yet, I'll take that with you!"

Temari said as he picked up the puppet arm that Kankuro was pointing at from the ground, and when Kankuro saw it, he nodded weakly, slowly closed his eyes, and passed out again.

……

"You ...... Where did you get my Airo? Call my Airo out for me! ”

Kakashi's heart tightened slightly when he heard Naruto's voice in front of him, and he quickly reduced his speed and quietly approached the place where the sound came from with the silent steps he had trained when he was doing the shadows.

When Kakashi sneaked his head out from under the bushes, he saw that Naruto was holding against a hunchbacked member of Akatsuki, and there was a large pile of Chibon scattered around Naruto, apparently the person opposite was using this to attack Naruto, but he couldn't break through the chakra cloak on Naruto's body.
