Hanabi: Kanami, can we speed up now?

"Sister, how much longer until we get there?"

Hanabi, dressed in a pale yellow kimono, puffed out her little mouth.

She had only traveled for a day, and her brand-new clothes were already a bit dirty before she even reached her destination, which made her feel a little upset.

Hinata Hyuga walked up to Hanabi with a smile on her face and helped her adjust the flower decoration in her hair.

There's still a long way to go.

"Why do we have to go all the way to Takigakure? I know you guys went to the Land of Hot Water Hot Spring Bathing before! I want to go too."

"Then... when we come back, let's go to the Land of Hot Water again."

"Really? Yay!"

The disappointment on Hanabi's face vanished instantly, changing very quickly.

She looked at Hinata with a smile.

The three people One-Tail beast paused briefly before continuing their journey.

After leaving the Land of Fire, the Flying Thunder God Mark becomes useless.

Kanami's Flying Thunder God Mark is from Cloud Village to Konoha Village, so he has no choice but to continue on the normal route.

Occasionally, he would use the Flying Thunder God Kunai force, and then activate the Flying Thunder God Technique again to speed up his journey.

Normally, he would only bring one person, but this time he brought two people and a Tailed Beast with him.

The pressure on Kanami was immense.

Dozens of teleportations felt like my body had been hollowed out.

"Kanami, can you speed things up?"

Hanabi nestled close to Kanami, blinking its big eyes as it asked a question.

Kanami simply gave her a weary glance.

Speed up? Don't even mention calling me Kanami An anymore. Even if you called me Dad Kanami now, I wouldn't be able to speed up.

"Let me recover my Chakra for a while. I just finished accelerating, and now I want to accelerate again. Do you know how tired your Kanami is?"

Hanabi Hyuga's gaze immediately turned disdainful.

"Didn't you say that as long as I call you Kanami, you can keep speeding up?"

"It's not working like this, old Redhead?"

Hanabi looked at Kanami with a mocking smile.

Kanami raised his hand to hug her neck, while gently tapping her head with his other hand.

It's like striking a wooden fish.

"Although I can't speed up anymore, I can still beat you."

Hanabi Hyuga used her two small hands to pry open Kanami's arm, trying to pull her neck free from the grip.

"Ugh... Sister, save me!"

"Stop calling me that. Your sister can't save you. From now on, you'll have to call me Kanami or Brother-in-law, understand?"

Kanami's physical abilities are such that he can open Eight Gates. He not only controls himself well so as not to hurt Hanabi, but also makes it impossible for Hanabi to escape easily.

"My name isn't Old Redhead!"

"Hinata, let's continue on our way."

Kanami ignored her and walked forward, holding the Hanabi in his arms.

"I'll put you down when you stop giving me random nicknames. In the meantime, you can keep calling them whatever you want."

Hanabi leaped into the air, flapping her little feet beside Kanami.

"I will not yield! Redhead, you old Redhead, you stinky Redhead...!"

On the other side, in Sunagakure.

Two uninvited guests dressed in black with red clouds crossed the Yellow Sand and arrived outside Sunagakure.

"Who are you...?"

Black background with red clouds!

The Sand Village guards at the entrance changed their expressions instantly upon seeing the newcomer.

They had received an urgent order the day before: they must not neglect their duties.

Upon seeing someone dressed in black with red clouds, be sure to send out the signal immediately.

Just as he hurriedly pulled out a Kunai with an Explosive Tag attached from behind him, preparing to throw it into the air, a white spider landed on his face.

"This is..."

Just as he nervously tried to swat it away, the all-white spider suddenly swelled up.

A loud "bang" exploded on his face!

The Sand Village guard's head was instantly blown off, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Playing with Explosive Tag in front of me?"

The man with the yellow Braid Deidara, smiled confidently.

The white spider that suddenly jumped onto the face of the Sand Village Guardian was the Clay Bomb he used.

At the same time, another person standing next to him, who was extremely ugly and short, and looked like a legless scorpion, spoke up calmly, "He seems to be trying to send a signal using Explosive Tag."

"By using the bomb, you're essentially sending him a signal."

"Hey, really? I didn't notice."

Just as Deidara was saying this, large swathes of sand rose from the ground, like ocean waves, and crashed towards the two of them at high speed.

Deidara leaped backward instantly, simultaneously throwing out a white spider-shaped weapon.

"Drink!"

As the spider was covered in sand that resembled ocean waves, Deidara immediately detonated the Clay Bomb.

"Boom--"

The explosion shattered the rising Yellow Sand.

At the same time, the scorpion's long Mechanical Tail lashed out from behind.

He charged straight through the Yellow Sand Yellow Sand towards the figure behind it.

"Puff--"

Just as the scorpion's tail was about to pierce the figure, a thick layer of sand suddenly appeared in front of the opponent, locking his tail firmly in place.

Even if he thrust forward with all his might, he could not advance an inch further.

"Whatever your motives, please leave Sunagakure."

The figure sheltered by the sand wore a dark red Sunagakure uniform, with the character "love" embroidered on its forehead, and thick dark circles around its eyes resembling smoky makeup.

The newcomer was none other than Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure.

The sand beneath his feet made him float in the air, looking down coldly at Deidara and the other person in front of him.

At the same time, the Yellow Sand on the ground moved, carrying the guard back to the village in a conveyor belt-like manner.

"Big Brother Sasori, I'm much more efficient this way."

As Deidara spoke, he raised his hand to his face, and in the center of his palm was a mouth with a long tongue sticking out.

"Whoosh--"

Scorpion abruptly retracted the Mechanical Tail it had flung out.

"Trouble."

"If Big Brother Sasori finds it too troublesome, just watch from the sidelines!"

Deidara swiftly Hand Seals, summoning a giant white Giant Bird also made of Clay Bomb.

He leaped onto the Giant Bird's back, simultaneously plunging his hands into the clay pouch on his waist.

The large mouths in the center of both hands swallowed and chewed the clay, while simultaneously injecting Chakra, transforming ordinary clay into Explosive Clay.

Gaara stared coldly at Deidara, while keeping a close eye on Sasori below.

Both of them were members of the Akatsuki Organization, so he dared not be careless.

Done!

Deidara's eyes flashed, and he swiftly flicked his hands out of his pouch.

Dozens of white, spider-like Explosive Clay flew towards Gaara.

Gaara remained completely calm. With a single hand raised, a cloud of sand poured out from the large gourd on his back, completely covering the flying Explosive Clay.

"Drink!"

The instant he was covered by sand, Deidara detonated the Explosive Clay.

The powerful shockwave from the simultaneous explosion of more than a dozen Explosive Clay struck Gaara's "Absolute Defense."

The sand was blasted apart, but in an instant, it formed a new Sand Shield to protect Gaara.

"You can't break through Absolute Defense."

Gaara coldly controlled the yellow sand on the ground.

The ground instantly turned into the Sand Sea, with large amounts of sand rising up and enveloping Deidara.

"Fly!"

Deidara immediately controlled the Giant Bird beneath his feet and soared into the sky.
