Gaara Attacked

"Hey? Who is this person you mentioned? I want to meet him and be friends with him too."

Gaara smiled but did not answer.

At that moment, Miyoshi and the others, who had been unconscious, groaned and woke up.

Fū crouched down and asked them, "What scroll do you have?"

Miyoshi and the others were still groggy, but they vaguely remembered that the person before them had saved them. "The Scroll of Heaven."

Fū took out her Scroll of Earth and handed it over. "Take it."

"Really? This is such a huge help!"

Just as someone from Miyoshi's team rejoiced, another teammate objected. "No, we can't accept this."

Fū looked somewhat confused. "Why not?"

"I have a new goal now. I don't need this anymore."

A member of Miyoshi's team stood up and said, "Lord Gaara taught us something."

"Break through the barriers you built for yourself, and conquer yourself."

"How can we seize the final result with our own hands..."

"Although we really want this scroll, if you give it to us, that wouldn't count as passing the second round at all."

"We want to obtain it with our own strength."

Fū nodded. "I understand."

At that moment, Kagari and Yōrō's shouts came from the distance. "Fū! Where are you!?"

Fū gave Miyoshi's team an apologetic smile.

"It'll be troublesome if they catch me, so I'll be leaving first!"

"See you!"

With that, she flapped her wings and flew away.

Miyoshi's team could only shout in the direction Fū had left. "Thank you!"

Gaara watched Fū disappear into the distance.

What an interesting person. We'll probably meet again somewhere soon.

In the distance, a shell of sand bulged up. It shattered, and Hoichi opened his closed eyes.

As Bunpuku's successor, he naturally had a way to sense Jinchuriki.
