After saying that,
he fled as if escaping.
Hyuga Aogetsu did not chase after him,
but instead,
he stared meaningfully at Temari's back,
a hint of thoughtfulness
showing in his eyes.
At that moment,
Temari was jogging lightly down the street.
She looked back,
and only after Hyuga Aogetsu's figure had completely disappeared
did she slow her pace.
She leaned against a utility pole,

Just as Temari unconsciously sank into her fantasies,
Baki spoke:
"Temari, I have a mission for you!"
"The time has come for you to devote yourself to Sunagakure!"
Devote herself?!!
Hearing those words, Temari immediately became serious, straightening her back.
