In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

[This seems to be what Ming's mother said just now, but what does the second half of the sentence mean?]

【Riddler】

[To be honest, I think Naruto's mom is better off being a riddle teller. If she tells the truth, Naruto will probably be even more confused.]

[…You make a lot of sense.]

[Because explaining things to your son will cause high blood pressure, so you become a riddle teller, right?]

[No, let me stop and laugh for a while]

【It’s just five minutes, don’t get too carried away】

The sand sculpture audience had a lot of fun.

Kankuro, on the other hand, was not so cheerful.

Invisible steel wires filled the space in front of Kankuro.

Just like he had just teased Naruto with the puppet strings that Naruto hadn't seen, this string was also hidden, as if waiting to tease him.

If you take a step forward, you will be strangled by the wire.

The most terrifying thing is that as a puppeteer, I didn’t even see these steel wires in the air.

"We're not here to play, Kankuro. If you keep doing this, I'll kill you before anyone else does."

Gaara uttered a harsh remark.

"I know, I know..."

Kankuro could only put away his big package.

Temari was looking around.

After noticing that there were so many steel wires in the air for some reason, she looked around.

However, the enemy never appeared.

"My apologies, ninjas of Konoha. We are merely students taking the Chunin Exams, not here to cause trouble."

Temari took out her pass, hoping to lure the other party out.

"I know."

——!!!!!!

A voice came from beside him.

Temari's heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

If she were on the battlefield and the enemy suddenly approached her without her noticing, she would have been dead by then.

Temari didn't even have time to be on guard or move, Kankuro didn't move either, and Gaara turned his head with a cold face, wondering if he noticed this.

"Girls?!"

Temari froze.

This is a girl wearing a half-face fox mask and a bright red furisode kimono.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with girls saying they are going on an outing to participate in some kind of festival.

But this is no ninja costume.

However, he was approached by such a girl who seemed to be strolling leisurely.

"I know you are ninjas from the Sand Village, here to take the Chunin Exam."

Hanabi tilted her head. "Just don't do anything too outrageous in someone else's village. Otherwise, they might think you're some hidden enemy."

Hua Huo waved her hand and retracted [Cone Cloud], and all the steel wires in the air disappeared.

"your name."

Gaara looked at Hanabi.

"Hanabi. Hinata Hanabi."

Although I gave up this plot before, now that I have to continue the performance, I naturally have to be elegant.

"Hinata..."

Temari remembered that there seemed to be some very powerful guys in the new generation of the Hyuga family in Konoha.

"Um……"

Hanabi studied Gaara.

"Well, we already know that, Miss Hanabi. We won't cause any trouble. Anything else?"

Temari asked again.

"No, nothing. I just thought... you have a very gentle mother, Mr. Gaara of Sand Falls."

With just this one sentence, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped to freezing point.

In an instant, sand exploded from where Hanabi was standing.

But the fireworks were no longer there, only a puff of mist dissipated.

"Are you looking for death?"

Gaara looked indifferent to what had just happened.

However, after hearing Hanabi's voice, Gaara almost went berserk.

"How dare that guy mention Gaara's mother!"

Temari was stunned.

Gaara really had the intention to kill just now. If Hanabi was really caught by the sand, she would have died.

Kankuro even took a step back and looked around, hoping to find someone to come to the rescue.

[Here it comes, the classic female ghost is courting death]

I love watching this.

[Jumping repeatedly on the edge of death]

[Hanabi: I came in, I went out again, you hit me, hey]

[I just want to see the female ghost firecrackers flip over]

How can you say that about my wife? I'm different. I just want to see Hanabi's string hooked on someone else's kunai.

【Isn’t that still a rollover?】

[It's so funny, I just arrived and I'm already greeting someone's mother]

[To be honest, I also want to beat her up]

Improvisation works well.

At least Gaara is hard now, his fists are hard.

"But your mother is really gentle."

Hanabi's voice came from the other side.

But then more sand rushed towards the fireworks, but again it missed.

"I'm serious."

Hanabi seemed to genuinely not understand why Gaara was so angry, "Isn't the writing on your forehead because of your love for your mother?"

"I've decided, I'm going to kill you!"

【Hua Bi: Mama's Boy, Shrimp Head】

[I'm hard, my fist is hard! ]

[The intelligence firework is like this, if you see someone with a dark history, you have to make fun of them]

"Oh no, this is not going to end well..."

Temari glanced at Kankuro who was standing next to her.

Now is not the time to cause trouble. They came to Konoha not just for the so-called Chunin Exam, they have other purposes.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you fighting all of a sudden?!"

The original person involved, Naruto, has now become a complete outsider.

He had no idea what was going on.

"That firework seems to mean... um..."

Kushina's attention was completely on Gaara.

If it weren't for Hanabi's reminder, Kushina wouldn't have noticed this, but after hearing Hanabi's words, Kushina also discovered some clues.

"He does seem to have some kind of power protecting him, that feeling of chakra...?"

do not know.

But there is a sense of familiarity.

Because this is the intuition of a mother.

"The child's mother is probably dead, but her power seems to still reside in the child. But he seems to have some... misunderstanding?"

Kushina didn't quite understand.

But Naruto took it to heart.

"Gaara, we have something more important...!"

Risking being killed, Kankuro finally spoke up to remind Gaara.

"..."

Gaara finally stopped this time. Kankuro breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like I don't have to do anything."

Sasuke's voice came from behind.

Kankuro's scalp immediately tingled because Gaara didn't stop because of his own voice, but because of this new threat.

——No, man, do you people in Konoha like to appear behind others so much?!

Chapter 98: Spicy Maru, all spicy maru!

[It's so funny, both of the two members of Team 7 are protecting Naruto. It turns out that Naruto is the team's favorite.]

[Hanabi: Captain; Sasuke: Team Member; Naruto: Pet. Nothing wrong with that.]

Where's Kakashi? Kakashi's gonna cry if he sees this.

[Kakashi went to hand in the mission]

[Damn, it took me a while to realize that I was telling a Soviet-style joke.]

【Now it’s an American joke 233】

Gaara finally calmed down.

Sometimes what calms people down is not the advice from those around them, but real threats.

Sasuke's murderous intent was almost unreserved.

It can be said that as long as Gaara wants to attack again, Sasuke will rush up without hesitation.

"saved."

Temari breathed a sigh of relief, "What a handsome guy."

Even though it was murderous intent, Sasuke's murderous intent definitely calmed Gaara down.

She no longer wanted to cause any trouble.

My heart really can't take it.

"so!"

Suddenly, a huge voice shouted.
