The two of them were very busy, and the two of them were very busy.

Not long after, the Anbu brought the Sand Village messenger to the door of the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, opened the door, and let them enter the room.

The person who came was Temari, who was no stranger to Hinata.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance. Hinata smiled and greeted her, and Temari responded politely.

But from Temari's expression, it can be seen that she was very anxious.

Temari walked quickly to Tsunade, saluted, and then immediately made a request for the Sand Village: "Hokage, Sand Village now needs the help of Konoha, please help us!" Her tone was full of earnestness and anxiety.

Tsunade nodded without hesitation and replied: "Okay, we Konoha agree to your request. Please be patient and wait for a while. After the senior ninjas arrive, I hope you can tell us in detail about the enemy."

Tsunade was very straightforward and agreed without any hesitation.

Hearing Tsunade's straightforward answer, Temari was moved to tears.

She thought that Konoha might not agree so quickly, and might even put forward some harsh conditions.

But unexpectedly, the newly appointed fifth generation Hokage agreed so straightforwardly and without making any requests.

Temari's anxiety was slightly relieved, and she stood aside at ease, waiting quietly.

After a while, Kakashi walked in with Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto shouted loudly before he arrived: "Grandma Tsunade, what mission do you want to give me? I will definitely complete it successfully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke said: "Idiot, be quiet."

After hearing this, Naruto immediately glared at Sasuke with an angry face. This arrogant Sasuke was really annoying.

Naruto walked to Hinata's side, quietly poked Hinata's arm with his finger, and whispered: "Hinata, do you know what the mission is this time?"

Sasuke couldn't help but prick up his ears to eavesdrop.

Hinata whispered: "The fifth generation Kazekage of the Sand Village was captured by the Akatsuki Organization. They came to seek help. We are one of the support teams."

Naruto exclaimed in surprise: "What? Such a big thing happened?"

He rubbed his hands excitedly, thinking to himself: Finally, I have the opportunity to perform an important mission, and he, Uzumaki Naruto, can also make a name for himself.

"Who is the Kazekage?" Naruto asked curiously.

Hinata explained: "Gaara is the one who carried the gourd during the last Chunin Exam."

"What?!" Naruto and Sasuke's eyes almost popped out. He was still a Genin while others were already Kages in the same exam!

"Okay, now that we are here, please share the information with us, Sunagakure Ninja." Tsunade interrupted the whispers of the three little ones and spoke.

Temari told everyone in Konoha about Gaara's attack.

After listening, Tsunade frowned, thought for a moment and said: "The goal of this Akatsuki organization is obviously the tailed beast in the body of the Jinchūriki. No matter what their ultimate goal is, the tailed beast must not fall into their hands easily."

She turned to look at Kakashi and said firmly: "Kakashi, you lead the members of Team 7 to support immediately, and I will arrange the follow-up reinforcements as soon as possible."

Kakashi nodded seriously. As an elite ninja who has experienced many ninja wars, he keenly felt that this attack was not simple, and it might become the fuse of a new ninja war.

"We have no time to waste, we must set off immediately!" Kakashi said firmly.

Hinata raised her hand and pointed at Naruto, saying, "Since the other party's goal is Jinchūriki, then is Naruto not suitable for participating in this mission?"

Hearing this, Naruto widened his eyes, jumped up in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "What? I finally waited for a high-level mission, how can I not be included?"

Naruto turned his head and looked at Tsunade and begged, "Grandma Tsunade, please, don't abandon me. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission. Nothing will happen."

"Hmm~" Tsunade pondered, what Hinata said also made sense.

Naruto saw Tsunade didn't speak, and became more nervous, "Grandma Tsunade, I can do it, don't exclude me from Team 7."

He clasped his hands together and continued to plead pitifully.

Sasuke curled his lips on the side. Naruto was a little unhappy that Naruto was slightly stronger than him now.

But now he knew that whether it was Naruto or that Sanda

The hidden boy relied on the tailed beast in his body to become strong, and Sasuke was relieved.

Now seeing Naruto unable to participate in the mission because of the tailed beast in his body, and begging here, Sasuke couldn't help but feel happy and secretly happy.

Tsunade thought for a while and said: "Naruto is still capable. Kakashi and Hinata, you should pay attention during the mission and don't let Naruto be alone."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

"Okay, Master."

Kakashi and Hinata agreed at the same time.

Naruto clenched his fists tightly and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, Tsunade-san, we will definitely rescue Gaara!"

Sasuke and Hinata on the side also nodded in agreement.

Temari looked at the ninjas of Konoha in front of her, and a trace of gratitude surged in her heart.

Kakashi calmly arranged: "Okay, everyone go back and pack your luggage, gather at the village entrance in half an hour, and then set off for the Sand Village."

Everyone responded in unison and dispersed to make preparations.

After leaving the village, the group rode non-stop all the way, passing through the dense forest and across the vast desert. After a hard journey, they finally arrived at the Sand Village.

However, what is ridiculous is that at this time, the Sand Village was not busy preparing to rescue Gaara, but was in chaos and noise.

The high-level people of Sand Village seemed to be more concerned about the selection of the next Kazekage, rather than rescuing the kidnapped Gaara as soon as possible.

Hinata couldn't help but glance at Temari, and saw that her face turned livid.

Temari was full of annoyance and anger. She was anxious to ask for help from Konoha. Everyone went all out along the way, not daring to slack off, for fear of wasting time.

But she didn't expect to see such a scene when she returned to her village. Temari felt her face being slapped, which made her feel extremely ashamed and angry.

Before she could get angry, another worse news reached her ears,

"What? Kankuro was poisoned? His life is in danger?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Temari to stand still,

not knowing what to do.
