I am in Konoha, but I am invincible to my younger brother Itachi!

"Someone is chasing after him!"

Kankuro, who was running away with Gaara, was very keenly aware that someone was catching up behind him.

"who is it?"

The few shurikens fired by Sasuke in the next second answered his doubts very well. If Temari caught up, she would definitely not use shurikens to attack them.

"Is it Uchiha...that Temari..."

The appearance of Sasuke meant that Temari's attempt to stop her had failed, which made Kankuro a little worried about Temari.

Before he could continue thinking, Sasuke had already stopped in front of him, and Kankuro was forced to stop, breathing heavily.

The long chase and running consumed a lot of physical energy from both of them, especially Sasuke. The battle with Temari just now consumed a lot of energy in order to save chakra.

But even so, Sasuke was still full of confidence in himself, and he said harsh words to Kankuro unceremoniously.

"Stop trying to escape again!"

"Just right! It's my turn to deal with you this time."

As the son of the Kazekage, he has never been afraid of anyone except Gaara since he was a child, so when faced with Sasuke's arrogant attitude, Kankuro didn't hesitate to respond.

Moreover, as a puppet master, his melee combat ability is not very good to begin with, and his main combat effectiveness is still above that of puppets.

"Hold on."

Just when Kankuro was about to put down Gaara and start a fight with Sasuke, Temari suddenly fell from the sky and stopped him.

"Temari...I thought you were killed by him. Are you okay?"

"Well...still alive, but I couldn't hold him back."

There was a hint of remorse in Temari's tone. She knew that if she hadn't been careless and too close to Sasuke, she wouldn't have been hurt by Sasuke's substitution technique and detonating talisman.

"You've done a great job, draining that guy of his chakra and stamina."

Kankuro didn't mean to blame Temari, so he put down Gaara and took a step forward with the crow in hand. (Crow is the name of the puppet Kankuro has been carrying.)

"Temari, take Gaara first. You have reached your limit. I don't need to hold you back."

Kankuro and Temari are worthy of being siblings. They obviously want to protect each other from the wind and rain, and they both say so arrogantly.

"Come on!"

Temari gritted her teeth and helped up Gaara who was on the ground. She glanced at Kankuro and quickly jumped away. If her current condition was not so bad, then the person left to stop Sasuke must be herself.

Kankuro looked at Sasuke across from him and untied the crow's bandage.

"I'll deal with you now."

"It doesn't matter who comes!"

Looking at Kankuro across from him, Sasuke smiled disdainfully.

"No! Your opponent is me."

The sudden sound made Sasuke startled, because before Shino spoke, Sasuke had not noticed any trace of Shino.

In other words, if Shino was an enemy at this time and launched a sneak attack directly, he would not be prepared.

"Shino? Why are you here?"

Sasuke turned to look at Shino. His first reaction was not to be happy to have allies, but to ask why Shino was here.

Shino didn't hide anything and gave the answer directly.

"When you left the meeting, I put female bugs on you."

"This bug has almost no smell, and only males of the same species can smell it."

Sasuke lowered his head slightly, and sure enough, a black insect crawled out from under his clothes.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you go after Gaara, you have to ask why, because there is no winner between you and that guy yet."

Shino wore his signature small sunglasses with his head lowered, half of his face hidden in his high collar.

"I'm here to deal with this guy. If you want to ask why, it's because this guy's opponent is me."

"Leave this to me, go ahead."

Sasuke looked at Shino and smiled slightly. This was the first time he knew that Shino, a guy who usually didn't have a strong sense of presence, always spoke in one way, which was very interesting.

But before leaving, Sasuke once again confirmed whether Shino could fight Kankuro alone?

"Although your attitude is very tough, is it okay?"

"Don't worry, I will cover you in 10 minutes."

Shino was so confident that he didn't take Kankuro seriously in his words.

After receiving Shino's confirmation, Sasuke didn't ask any more questions and went straight after Temari.

"Hmph, I'll be done by then."

"Haha~ You are all ignorant people. You all don't know the true horror of this world!"

Listening to the confident words of the two, Kankuro laughed instead.
