Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 242 Can't you use a VPN?
To be honest, as Temari's mentor in the coup, Uchiha Tokō had considered countless possible countermeasures that Ishii Nishigaku might take against Temari's actions, but he never imagined that she might impose martial law in Sunagakure.

The reason is simple: he was able to declare martial law in Konoha at the time because he had a team that was loyal to him. At that time, even the Hokage's words might not have been as effective as those of this captain who spent money like water. Moreover, the police force under his command had the legal authority to declare martial law. But what about Shi Yixi Yue now?
He was able to mobilize the Anbu only because of his status as the acting Kazekage, and the Anbu's authority within the unit was completely insufficient to rightfully become the Ikkuri of Sunagakure. More importantly, martial law costs money! Can Sunagakure afford to subsidize the martial law troops now? Ishii Nishigaku's forced release of the Ikkuri caught Uchiha Toko completely off guard.

"What do we do now?" Temari frowned slightly as she looked at the Sand Village Anbu blocking her way. After taking two steps back, she asked the communicator snake in a low voice.

"Try to force your way through first, reveal your identity as the princess of Sunagakure, and see how these Anbu react," Uchiha Touko said to Temari after thinking for a moment.

"I understand." Temari nodded and strode towards the other person. Seeing this, Kankuro quickly followed his older sister.

The secret agents guarding the entrance to Temari's house saw that Temari intended to force her way through, so they raised their hands to block the two's path.

“Miss Temari, the village is currently under martial law. Unless it is an emergency, please stay at home,” a masked ANBU member said in a completely emotionless tone.

"Do you know who you're talking to? Such a big thing has happened in the village, and I, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, have no right to know anything about it? Are you going to keep me here? What about the blood my father shed and the effort he made for Sunagakure?" Temari said righteously, her gaze fixed intently on the two Anbu members blocking her doorway.

"Get out of the way!" Temari said, raising her hand to slap away the outstretched hand of the Anbu in front of her, and swaggered past the Anbu's blockade with Kankuro.

Upon seeing this, the younger of the two ANBU guards was about to make a move when his companion stopped him.

The person who was stopped looked at his senior with some confusion.

"That's enough. We've already intercepted her. It was Her Highness who forced her way through the checkpoint. Her Highness is of noble status, and we couldn't afford to harm her," the senior member of the secret service said calmly.

"Senior...this isn't right."

"What's wrong with that?" The middle-aged ANBU member rolled his eyes at the younger brother. "With this kind of treatment, we're already doing right by being here to serve Lord Dai Fengying."

"We just came out like this?" The Temari siblings were still incredulous as they arrived on the main street of Sunagakure. They knew that those Anbu members were definitely not from their faction. Even if Ishii Nishigaku was stupid, he wouldn't send his own people to guard them. Not to mention that the former subordinates of the Fourth Kazekage who served in the Anbu had all been suspended from their duties and were staying at home this morning.

“It seems my judgment was correct. Your Sunagakure village really can’t afford to pay right now.” Uchiha Touko’s voice rang in Temari’s ear. “I guess those two Anbu members just had their pay cut, otherwise they wouldn’t have let you pass so easily.”

"So, are we going to go find my teacher and uncle now?" Temari asked.

“Of course, gather your people now and take control of all his direct subordinates first. Then, go directly to your Kazekage Building,” Uchiha Touko said. “Your acting Kazekage has declared martial law without any apparent reason. You can use this as a pretext to launch an attack and force him to step down.”

"Also, on the way to the Kazekage Building, use your status as the princess of Sunagakure to mobilize more villagers and surround the Kazekage Building directly," Uchiha Touko reminded Temari. "Be quick and don't give them any chance to breathe."

“In that case, wouldn’t we be committing a violent rebellion?” Temari said.

"Heh, failure is betrayal, success is revolution," Uchiha Touko said calmly.

“I understand. We can force them to surrender directly, but if we mobilize the villagers, won’t the Anbu take action against them?” Temari was still a little worried. She, a member of Sunagakure, knew that Konoha’s security forces had the ability to strike six times a second against troublemakers, so she was worried that Sunagakure’s Anbu might follow suit.

"Hehe, are you worried that these ANBU members can use six strikes per second against your villagers?" Uchiha Touko laughed. "Don't worry, although your village's ANBU members are strong enough to support six strikes per second, your acting Kazekage probably doesn't understand what the driving force behind six strikes per second is."

"Alright." Temari nodded. Just then, Maki and Yashamaru also arrived at Temari's house with their respective subordinates. On the way, the group reunited.

"Temari, Kankuro, what are you two doing here? Did the ANBU on the street give you any trouble?" Yashamaru immediately asked his two nephews with concern.

"No." Temari shook her head, then looked at Maki, "Teacher, you and Kankuro should take people to the Puppet Squad right now and control all of Ishiichi Seigaku's direct subordinates. Kankuro has been in the Puppet Squad for a while, so he can lead the way."

"Then, Uncle, the rest of us will go directly to the Fengying Building, and along the way, we'll mobilize as many villagers as possible to join us in surrounding the Fengying Building and forcing Shi Yixi Yue to resign." Temari calmly issued one order after another.

"A direct coup?" Yashamaru was startled by his niece's words and quickly reminded her, "If that's the case, it would be a violent coup."

Upon hearing this, Temari took a deep breath, her eyes hardening. She mimicked Uchiha Touko's earlier words, glancing at her teacher and the supporters her uncle had brought, her lips moving.

"Failure is rebellion! Success is revolution! The Hidden Sand Village has fallen into the hands of these insects! I do not want to see the Hidden Sand Village, to which my father devoted countless efforts, sink into ruin. Therefore, I urge you all to join me in eradicating these insects and restoring a bright and clear world to the Hidden Sand Village!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" These former subordinates of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, were moved by Temari's words and became excited.

At this moment, Maki looked at Temari with a hint of relief in his eyes. The princess they supported was finally beginning to learn to act like her father.

"Please, teacher, I'm leaving the Puppet Class to you. You absolutely cannot let them have a chance to send reinforcements to the Kazekage Building," Temari said to Maki.

"Yes!" Maki solemnly accepted the order and led a group of men toward the puppet troupe's encampment.

Temari, on the other hand, personally led the remaining people, heading towards the Kazekage Building while inciting the villagers along the way.

It must be said that Rasa's act of personally mining gold dust to maintain the daily operation of Sunagakure, as the village's Kage, was somewhat shameful among Kage-level shinobi, but for most people in Sunagakure, it was a genuine act of kindness.

Now that Temari, as the princess of Sunagakure, has stepped forward and raised her arm, most of the villagers know it's time to repay the Fourth Kazekage's kindness. Not to mention, Ishii Nishigaku's absurd martial law order has genuinely impacted their lives.

Therefore, Temari didn't have to exert much effort to gather a large number of villagers and head towards the Kazekage Building.

The ANBU officers in charge of maintaining martial law didn't object too much. They reasoned that with this meager pay, a couple of laps around the streets would be enough to repay Lord Fengying's kindness.

In less than twenty minutes, a crowd had gathered in front of the Kazekage Building. The villagers of Sunagakure, who had come together, kept trying to break through the defensive line formed by a large ANBU squad, while chanting, "Ishii Seigaku! Step down!"

"Shi Yixiyue is unworthy to be the Wind Shadow! Get off the stage!"

The commotion outside quickly drew the attention of Shi Yixi Yue, who was sitting in his office, gazing intently at the corpse in the crystal coffin. Shi Yixi Yue went to the window and looked down at the Sunagakure villagers gathered below, along with the slogans they were chanting. He was instantly enraged.

"Didn't we say the village was under martial law? What are those secret agents doing?!" After putting away the crystal coffin, Shi Yixiyue angrily called over his secretary and reprimanded him.

"Well, according to the information relayed back by the Anbu, they said that most of those attacking their defenses were civilians, and they couldn't attack civilians because of ninja rules," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary said, forcing a smile.

Just then, a rotten egg whistled towards the window of Feng Ying's office, smashing into the glass and leaving a dirty trail behind it. Shi Yixi Yue was furious when he saw this and pointed at the stain on the window, yelling, "They've been through all this, and you still think they're just ordinary people?"

"They're all thugs! Thugs!" Shi Yixi Yue roared. "Send out the Dark Guard! Suppress them all!"

"Yes!" Shi Yixi Yue's secretary could only nod in response, and then walked out of the office to issue orders to the Dark Army Captain on duty in the Fengying Building.

Looking at the ever-growing crowd outside the window, Shi Yixi Yue gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that after this, it will be necessary to establish our own security force in Sunagakure. These ANBU can't even handle the matter of imposing martial law properly!"

However, not long after, Shi Yixi's secretary brought him bad news.

"The duty officer of the secret service refused your order, arguing that their secret service cannot attack civilians," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary said, forcing a smile.

Snapped!
A glass shattered at the feet of the secretary who had come to deliver the message. Shi Yixi Yue's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone. "How dare they do this! How dare they do this!"

"However, the captain of the Dark Division also said that they will guard the entrance to the Wind Shadow Building and not give these civilians a chance to storm your office," Shi Yixi Yue's secretary hurriedly said.

"So I have to thank them, right?" Shi Yixi Yue said angrily.

"Listen to me, Shi Yixi Yue! How dare you act so recklessly in the village, persecuting your comrades and disregarding the people's livelihood? Do you deserve the Kazekage hat on your head? If you know what's good for you, step down now, take off your Kazekage hat, and apologize to the people of Sunagakure! We might be able to let you off the hook!" At this moment, Temari came to the front of the protesting crowd and shouted at the Kazekage Building.

"Damn it! I told you we should just label them traitors, but those two old bastards just wouldn't agree!" Shi Yixi Yue said through gritted teeth after seeing Temari downstairs through the window.

"Temari-sama, what do we do now? It seems that Ishii Nishige isn't planning to show up today." At this moment, a former supporter of the Fourth Kazekage came to Temari's side and asked.

"No rush," Temari said calmly. "Let's wait for news from the teacher first. Once he has the puppet class under control, we can then make our move and storm in."

"Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, Kankuro rushed to the Kazekage Building and brought Temari the news that the puppet squad had been completely brought under control.

Temari nodded upon hearing this, then strode towards the Kazekage Building.

"Miss Temari, this is the Kazekage Building, a restricted area. Please stop here." As soon as Temari approached the entrance of the Kazekage Building, she was stopped by the Anbu guarding the door.

"Make way." Temari prepared to force her way in, just like she had done with the two ANBU guards who had been blocking her door earlier.

“Miss Temari, your father was once the Kazekage, so you should know that one cannot enter the Kazekage Building without being summoned by the Kazekage,” the ANBU member said.

"At the same time, guarding this place is also our job, so please don't make things difficult for us, okay?" the ANBU said in a flat voice. However, at this moment, Uchiha Touko noticed through the communication snake hidden in Temari's ninja tool pouch that the man seemed to have deliberately emphasized the words "guarding this place".

"Alright." Temari narrowed her eyes slightly and took a few steps back.

"What do we do now? If we can't catch Shi Yixiyue today and force him to abdicate, then our crime of violent coup will be confirmed." Temari asked in a low voice after retreating.

"If you can't get in through the main gate, can't you just climb over the wall?" Uchiha Touko reminded him with a smile. "They've already reminded you like that."

"Climb over the wall?" Upon hearing this, Temari looked at the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building in disbelief.

Then, with a try-it-out mentality, Temari strode towards the open window on the first floor of the Kazekage Building, and tentatively glanced at the two ANBU guards at the main entrance.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Temari leaned against the window, took a long stride, and jumped into the Kazekage Building.
