My Dog Can Come and Go Freely in Sunagakure

Hinata swept her gaze across everyone in the room with an extremely dangerous look. Should I kill them to silence them?

Hinata gradually developed murderous intent!

"Gulp!"

Several medical staff from the Sand Village were covered in sweat and unconsciously wanted to back away, but their stiff bodies prevented them from making any movement.

Chiyo was also filled with horror. Her aging body tensed up involuntarily, and she looked at Hinata warily with her right hand already reaching into her ninja tool pouch.

Although Hinata hasn't killed many people, with Hinata current strength, she is capable of making others perceive her intense killing intent through the spiritual energy within her Chakra.

This is not pure killing intent, but rather something akin to Genjutsu, using mental energy to influence the perception of others, making them feel one's own killing intent.

"That..."

Kakashi stood in the doorway, a slight smile playing on his right eye, "Now that Kankuro is alright, shouldn't we discuss a plan to rescue Gaara?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately perked up and shouted impatiently, "Teacher Kakashi, let's get started now!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Kakashi admonished, "Everyone is exhausted now, we should at least get some rest for one night."

"And before we pursue them, we must at least find Xiao's whereabouts."

Get some rest!

Hinata echoed Kakashi's words, "Yeah, yeah! I just flew all day and saved someone, and now I'm so tired I can barely get up!"

Everyone turned to look at Hinata: No matter how you look at it, you don't look 'very tired' at all.

Kakashi can attest to this: Hinata is really exhausted right now.

Since the Sand Village Collapse Plan, Hinata hasn't had a proper workout in ten months. Her body might not be tired, but she must be mentally exhausted.

Moreover, Hinata is inherently lazy.

Kakashi could swear on his conscience that if he were to lead everyone in pursuit of the Akatsuki right now, Hinata might use "being too tired" as an excuse to slack off in the battle and let a few Sunagakure people go.

"If we want to pursue the enemy..."

Kakashi forms hand Hand Seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

'BOMM——'

In a puff of smoke, the puppy Pakkun was summoned, squinting with a disdainful look in his eyes, and waving his right paw. "Yo! Hinata, Naruto, long time no see, how have you been these past few years?"

"I'm fine!"

Hinata bent down, lifted Pakkun up, and examined him for a moment before clicking her tongue and saying, "Pakkun, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Has Teacher Kakashi been abusing you?"

"Put me down!"

Pakkun said with a dark expression, "I'm on a diet lately."

"Alright, Hinata, stop fooling around!"

Kakashi looked at Pakkun and said, "Pakkun, I'm counting on you!"

Pakkun glared at Kakashi and said in an unfriendly tone, "Just me?"

"Well..."

Kakashi scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Judging from the timeline, the enemy has been out of Sunagakure for less than 24 hours, and we already know the direction they fled."

"All right!"

Pakkun nodded slightly, whispered to Kakashi for a while, and then climbed out of the window and sneaked away.

Hinata glanced at Kakashi with some surprise.

Kakashi used the words "escape" and "run away" in quick succession, clearly giving Sunagakure face. After all, Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands attacked Sunagakure head-on, kidnapped Gaara, and then retreated openly.

The word "escape" should never be used to describe Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands.

However, Kakashi only informed Chiyo when he asked Pakkun to track Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands, without notifying the other ninjas in Sunagakure.

This must be a show of force, right?

My dog can come and go freely in Sunagakure.

Chiyo showed no expression as she slowly walked out of the intensive care unit, her aged voice echoing down the corridor. "Everyone from Konoha, please follow me!"

"Temari, you come too!"

Temari respectfully, "Yes!"

Hinata, Naruto, Kakashi, Chiyo, Temari were seated in a conference room at the Sand Village Hospital.

"Due to certain reasons, we at Sand Village are unable to mobilize a large number of ninjas to rescue Gaara."

Chiyo wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she bluntly stated, "Moreover, when facing ninjas of Sasori and Orochimaru's caliber, numbers are no longer meaningful."

"Thank you everyone from Konoha..."

Chiyo looked at Kakashi and said, "This rescue plan will be carried out by me and everyone else!"

"Elder Chiyo..." Temari looked at Chiyo with some concern.

The battle with Akatsuki is obviously very dangerous, and Chiyo is already very old. If something happens to Chiyo, Sunagakure will really have no foundation left.

Moreover, Gaara's life in the village has been quite difficult ever since Orochimaru's surprise attack on Sunagakure ten months ago.

Especially this time, Gaara, as the Kazekage, was openly kidnapped from Sunagakure by members of the Akatsuki.

No matter how you look at it, Sunagakure has completely lost face.

Hinata and Naruto rested their heads on the table; neither of them particularly enjoyed these meetings.

Hinata was curious: without Deidara this time, how did Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands manage to kidnap Gaara?

If Gaara hadn't gone all out to save the village, he probably still wouldn't have been accepted by the village.

Hmm! I should find some time to ask Orochimaru a good question.

Chiyo's Temari, shook her head slightly, a look of satisfaction on her face, and said, "I'm getting old. The future of Sunagakure will ultimately depend on you young people."

"Not to mention..."

"Since the Kazekage is to rescue the Kazekage of Sunagakure, we can't just leave without sending anyone, can we?"

To be honest, the Sunagakure these days doesn't even have many Elite Jonin like Kakashi anymore.

Apart from Chiyo, there was not a single ninja in the Shinobi World who had their own name.

Furthermore, Kakashi is now able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan; Kamui is an incredibly powerful Dōjutsu.

Hinata rolled her head on the conference table, looking at Kakashi with some curiosity.

I wonder if Kakashi has managed to develop 'Purple Lightning' after my guidance?

If Kakashi had mastered the Purple Lightning and Kamui Ninjutsu, he might have already reached the 'Kage' level of combat power.

Even though Kakashi is short on Kakashi, his ability to 'instant kill' is still very strong.

Based on Kakashi's combat experience, even ninjas of the strength of Sasori of the Red Sands or Hidan might not be a match for Kakashi if their opponents show the slightest weakness.

After calming Temari, Chiyo turned her attention to Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded slightly. "In that case, let's take action first thing tomorrow morning!"

"As for the battle plan..."

Kakashi glanced at Hinata and said with relief, "I don't think we'll need to fight, right?"
