Chapter 171 Kazekage Temari, Pu-Style Raid Sand Shinobi

Somewhere in the Land of Fire

A pitch-black hole suddenly opened, and a heavily injured Urashiki Ōtsutsuki staggered out.

"For now, the only way to recover is by gathering the other Tailed Beasts to strengthen my Chakra. After that, I'll deal with the fox! Well, the best things should always be saved for last... Let's start with that civet cat."

Urashiki muttered to himself with a strange smile. His body floated into the air as he flew low toward the Land of Wind.

After flying at low altitude for most of the day, Urashiki sensed something unusual. A flicker of doubt appeared on his face before it shifted into excitement.

"What? How can there be Nine Tails Chakra in that place?"

Following his senses, he adjusted course and arrived at a secluded temple surrounded by the desert landscape.

The Temple of Fire

In the middle of the courtyard, a young man wrapped in the red glow of Nine Tails Chakra struggled to contain its explosive power. Around him, a dozen monks stood ready, prepared for battle.

"Kong, stay focused! Hold firmly onto your beliefs. Don't let yourself be consumed by power again!"

The abbot, Master Lu Lu, stood nearby, forming hand seals while speaking firmly to the young man.

"Master Lu Lu, please help me suppress this power! I—I can't hold on much longer!"

Kong's will was slowly eroding under the influence of the Nine Tails Chakra. He clenched his fists tightly, his pupils dilated as he begged for aid.

"Damn it… After the last incident, we shouldn't have kept him here."

"Yeah, that kind of power is uncontrollable, even if we work together..."

The other monks glanced at Kong with wary expressions, their voices tinged with resentment.

Two years ago, Kong had lost control, causing devastation to the Temple of Fire. Not only was the unbreakable gate destroyed, but the temple and the nearby villages were nearly wiped out.

Now, with the Chakra flaring up again, the monks were gripped with fear, unsure what new catastrophe might unfold.

As tensions peaked, a crimson thread of Chakra shot down from the sky, piercing Kong's chest in an instant.

Moments later, a massive surge of fiery red Chakra was ripped from his body.

"Hahaha! What luck! So much Nine Tails Chakra in one place!"

Urashiki appeared, hovering in mid-air. He grabbed the extracted Chakra and quickly refined it into a compact orb before swallowing it with a satisfied laugh.

In mere seconds, his injuries healed completely, and his body returned to its former glory—his regal Ōtsutsuki appearance restored.

However, the Chakra he had absorbed wasn't as potent as before.

"Who are you?"

Master Lu Lu glanced at Kong, who now lay unconscious and breathing steadily, before turning his wary gaze to Urashiki.

"Hmm, it seems you also possess an extraordinary Chakra."

Urashiki ignored the question, instead focusing on the unique sage-like Chakra emanating from Lu Lu. With a delighted grin, he drained the abbot's Chakra in a single move.

Not stopping there, Urashiki turned his attention to the remaining monks, mercilessly siphoning their energy as well.

"Now, it's time to find that civet cat."

Satisfied with the Chakra he had gathered, Urashiki opened another black portal using Huangquan Hirasaka and disappeared into it.

The monks, now drained and barely conscious, lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

Urashiki didn't even bother to finish them off.

Sunagakure

On top of the central building in Sunagakure, Temari stood tall, wearing the white robes and hat of the Kazekage.

"From this day forward, I am the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure! In the name of the Kazekage, I swear to protect the Second District of our village!"

Her voice echoed across the crowd.

"Lady Kazekage! Lady Kazekage!"

The people cheered enthusiastically, their voices filled with hope and admiration.

Chiyo and the other Sand Shinobi elders stared at Temari in surprise!

None of them had expected such a swift turn of events.

With just one mission, Temari had proven her strength by easily defeating Baki.

In front of the entire Sand Shinobi, she had defeated Baki without breaking a sweat and fulfilled their previous agreement.

This took the elders of Sand Shinobi completely by surprise.

But now that the decision had been made, and with Gaara's influence, along with the example set by Konoha's 12-year-old Fifth Hokage, they had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, this only worked because Temari had kept her identity as the Nine Tails Jinchūriki a secret.

If the elders of Sand Shinobi knew about her secret, they would have easily accepted her as their leader without question.

For now, only Gaara knew about Temari's true nature.

Just as the mood in Sand Shinobi became more upbeat, a dark hole suddenly appeared in the sky above Miaoyin.

This sudden change shocked the Sand Shinobi executives.

In the next moment, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki emerged slowly from the dark hole, his powerful aura exploding. He looked down at Gaara with cold, indifferent white eyes.

"Civet cat, are you going to come out on your own, or should I pull you out?"

Urashiki sneered arrogantly, sizing up Gaara.

He was confident in his ability to deal with Gaara and Shukaku. After all, he had dealt with this same situation in another timeline before.

"You want Shukaku from our Sand Shinobi, huh? Another arrogant fool?"

Temari, now the Fifth Kazekage, immediately activated her Chakra and confronted Urashiki in the sky.

"Looking at your eyes, could you be from Konoha's Hyuga clan? Konoha and Sand Shinobi are now allies. Are you trying to sabotage that relationship?"

Urashiki raised an eyebrow as he sensed the Fox Chakra in Temari's energy.

"What? You smell like foxes... Are you the same person as before?"

Urashiki muttered to himself in confusion, then dismissed it and threw a fishing line directly at Gaara.

"Rain, rain, rain..."

Gaara, sensing the attack, quickly dodged the fishing line. He clapped his hands and shouted.

Although Gaara didn't know what the fishing line could do, it was basic ninja knowledge to avoid being hit by any kind of attack.

In an instant, countless sand bullets shot up from Gaara's feet, spraying towards Urashiki in the sky like a machine gun.

At the same time, a sand platform appeared under Gaara's feet, propelling him at high speed toward the outskirts of the village.

The opponent had dared to provoke Shukaku, so he couldn't afford to stay in the village. Gaara remembered how Naruto had once shown him the battle scenes when the Akatsuki had captured One Tail.

Remaining in the village would only tie his hands.

Gaara, bursting with power, sped off like a shooting star.

Urashiki, initially stunned, grinned strangely and chased after him.

At this point, Gaara and Shukaku still had no knowledge of the Ōtsutsuki.

The information Naruto had given them only covered the events of the Akatsuki's capture of One Tail, with no mention of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

"Elder Chiyo, stay here to protect the villagers. I'm going to support Gaara!"

Temari shouted, the Chakra around her body surging. With a burst of speed, she quickly took off like lightning.

In her Tamamo mode, she could only maintain the transformation for a short time, but it was still better to rely on Tamamo's Chakra for the fight—it would be more sustainable.

"What the... How did Ōtsutsuki find us so quickly?"

Aoka Tamamo, inside Temari's body, was immediately on alert upon seeing Urashiki. Sweat trickled down her forehead as she exclaimed.

Through the shared memories with Kurama, she had learned brief intel about the Ōtsutsuki trio. However, that information came from twenty years in the future!

How could they have arrived in the present time?

Now was not the time for speculation.

"Temari, that enemy is very powerful… Summon Naruto quickly, there won't be a chance if you're late!"

Qingqiu Yuzao, sensing the urgency, shouted in a panic, urging Temari to act.
