Title: The Future Third Kazekage of the Sand
"I followed my father and I visited the Land-of-Wind when I was young, and it has been so many years in the blink of an eye…"
The same scenery, the same yellow sand and scorching sun from above.
Faced with such a situation, Kurama Shanyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Hatake Sagiki didn't speak, but he looked towards a direction vigilantly and shouted: "Friend from Sand Ninja that was hiding in the dark, we came from Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams."
"Hatake Sagiki of the Konoha! Hmph, I didn't expect you to lead the team."
Sand Ninja!
Everyone was startled, and quickly looked at the place where the sound came from, and what they saw was the appearance of a "Beast" suddenly appearing in front of them.
"Puppet!"
Seeing it, Kurama Shanyuan's expression became grave.
"This is Puppet?"
Tsunade looked at it curiously, it seemed like a mechanism from the outside.
"Hiding the main body while fighting with the Puppet…"
MuZackki secretly remembered.
These are the fighting habits of Sand Ninjas, which will be of great help to them a lot in the upcoming Chunin Exam.
"Let's go."
Hatake Sagiki said, no longer paying attention to the Sand Ninja, and walked sideways in the direction of Hidden Sand Village.
"Hateful, this guy!"
The ninja hiding in the sand froze for a moment, then clenched their teeth angrily.
This guy doesn't even say hello.
However…
Who remembers the name of a nobody?
The Hatake Clan have an extraordinary innate talent which all Ninja Nations didn't dare to deny, since it was shown at the beginning of the First War.
For him, non-Jonin enemies are not worth remembering.
Not to mention those who hide their heads and show their tails.
Walking a section of the road, Kurama Shanyuan opened the carriage, he saw Akabane lifeless inside, and asked with concern: "Akabane, are you okay?"
" It's okay, I just kind of… collapse."
Akabane answered in a feeble voice.
Since entering Land-of-Wind, the dryness, heat, and sandstorm have made it difficult for him to adapt that made him collapse.
If you are not feeling well, of course, you have to lie down!
"It seems you are better than I thought. I bet you can walk normally on the ground after a rest."
Tsunade said confidently after eyeing Akabane's condition.
She has learned some medical skills from her Grandma Mito. But although she can only treat simple wounds, she can still discern that Akabane is perfectly fine.
"Don't…don't say that, I'm very ill."
Akabane choked.
This little girl has this kind of medical skills now?
After finally being able to lie down, he doesn't want to stand up and walk on this damned Deserted sand road.
"You just want to be lazy!"
Tsunade looked contemptuous, but her posture…
"Che, you obviously want to sit too."
Akabane lay down in peace and said in disdain.
There is a good saying that, you do not have to be afraid of the opponent being smart, but you should instead be afraid of an opponent that has no desires.
Tsunade has a demand, so it's easy to talk with her.
"hehe!"
Tsunade laughed, and since she was seen through, she didn't shy away and also sat on the edge of the cart and couldn't help sighs contentedly.
Kurama Shanyuan, seeing it, wanted to open his mouth and talk, but didn't do it for a reason.
If you want to live a good life, you have to turn a blind eye to some things just like this. After all, he can't afford to offend both of them.
Besides, hiking on the cart was just a trial matter.
However, even horses are a little uncomfortable in the desert with the scorching sun above them.
They moved slowly step by step, and it was only in the afternoon that the weather got cooler.
Until the sky becomes nightfall, finally…
"Hidden Sand Village, we are in Hidden Sand Village!"
Jiraiya's voice sounded.
Akabane hearing it immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and what he saw was a desert-style house everywhere.
The sky is dim, but in the dim sunlight, Hidden Sand Village has become extremely beautiful and lovely in everyone's eyes after walking for so many hours in the scorching sun.
"We are finally here!"
Akabane shouted in his mind. And thought: 'This damned place, I will never come again in the future!'
"Find a place to reside first!"
Tsunade shouted.
After walking in the desert for a long time, they finally came to Hidden Sand Village. Everyone was anxious to go to the residence to take a bath and rest.
Akabane got off the carriage and entered Hidden Sand Village with everyone.
Walking to the door, everyone suddenly sensed a murderous aura.
Turning their head and looking, they only saw a youngster who was only a little bigger than Akabane and the others, firmly staring at them in the distance.
Hatake Sagiki only glanced at the youth, and then ignored him.
"Konoha's ninja…It's you!"
The Chunin gatekeeper didn't recognize him at first, but when Hatake Sagiki looked towards him, his face and eyes, a certain memory in his mind instantly emerged.
He was a little frightened, and his hand that was holding a pen was shaking.
At this moment, the youngster in the distance came over.
The Chunin at the door was very ashamed, he bowed slightly to the youngster then took a deep breath to forcibly calmed himself down.
The youngster nodded in reply, then he examined everyone with his eyes, and frowned then asked: "Konoha's guests, in total…huh? Why are there so many people?"
"The Caravan, I mentioned it to Lord-Kazekage."
Hatake Sagiki answered lightly.
"I see, then you are welcome. Please register your name first, and then I will take you to where your resting place will be."
Although he didn't care too much about it, he still made them do the procedures.
Akabane, who was at the side, observed the dude in secret.
This youngster has dark blue hair, yellow eyes, and looks young, but since the Chunin gatekeeper just now bowed to him, obviously his status is not low.
Such features...
'Is it the Sandaime in the future?' Akabane secretly guessed.
More than that, this guy doesn't wear Chunin attire, maybe he is still Genin now!
"It seems like Hidden Sand was doing it on purpose."
His face was always calm and collected, but his heart was very surprised.
The Third Kazekage is the Strongest Kazekage in the future until Gaara reigns. Although he died bitterly, he was indeed a decent man before his death.
I have to remind everyone…
Akabane took his eyes away from him and looked towards the signature sheet on the table.
There are already several names on the list, which were written by other participants that come from other villages.
Hatake Sagiki just glanced at it, staying calm and collected, then he wrote down the names of the others, and then handed the list to the Chunin gatekeeper.
"Guests, come with me."
The dark blue-haired youngster respectfully walks to the front and leads the way.
After a while, Akabane spoke up: "What's your name, little brother?"
"My name is Zack."
He answered with a smile, looking like a harmless kid.
"As you can see, I am a member of the caravan, and I would like to ask, where is the place where vendors do their activities?"
Akabane asked.
"Stalls, activities?"
Zack was stunned for a long time, after thinking carefully about what it entailed, he finally half guest what Akabane meant.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's getting late, so let me lead the way to your rest place first."
"Right."
Of course, Akabane will not reject it, anyway, he just made a message.
In Naruto Comics and Anime, the Third Kazekage didn't have screen time, but he was sure that this guy is definitely the future Third Kazekage of the Sand Village.
Because of the caravan, their speed is slow and many others, so along the way, everyone saw many ninjas from other villages.
However, with Hatake Sagiki leading them, no one from other villages dared to provoke them.
As they walked, Akabane saw a square.
In the square, many ninjas are training, and some ninjas around are watching and collecting information.
"Zack little brother, can we set up a stall here?"
Akabane immediately started to talk and asked.
"Set up a stall? Here?"
Zack hesitated for a moment and answered, "I can't decide this. I'm afraid I have to ask Lord-Kazekage first."
" It doesn't matter, it's too late today anyway."
Without waiting for Akabane to answer, Kurama Shanyuan immediately started to talk to avoid this kid from continuing to make excessive demands.
To put the stall on the training arena is really disrespectful!
Different from what Kurama Shanyuan thought, Murasaki has an opposite idea since, for him, it would be more convenient to collect information here.
Zack nodded apologetically, then walked around a corner and stopped.
He pointed to the front and said: "Dear guests, the front is your residence."
The house is full of piles of sand and gravel, but it looks more magnificent than the other building they saw on the way here, which shows Hidden Sand Village treats Konoha preferentially.
"Thank you."
Hatake Sagiki said then he nodded his head and then went inside first coolly.
