It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

Temari has yellow hair with four prickly-looking short braids tied behind her head.

The upper and lower lines are divided by the ninja forehead guard she wears on her forehead.

Two of the short braids were on the straps of the forehead protector, and the other two short braids were under the straps and aligned with her ears.

Naruto had never thought that his deskmate in this written test would be Temari.

As the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, Kankuro and Gaara's sister, the three children of the Kazekage, form the Ninja Squad, which is the vanguard force of the Konoha destruction plan that the Sand Village is preparing to carry out in the Chunin Exam.

The Joint Chunin Exam will gather daimyos and dignitaries from all over the world. The plan of the Fourth Kazekage is actually very simple.

Naruto, who was sitting at the back of the examination room, looked at Gaara, who was sitting in the middle of the examination room.

As long as we know the identity of Gaara's Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, it is easy to guess the original plan of the Fourth Kazekage.

In the final Chunin selection exam, Gaara will release Shukaku, one of the tailed beasts, in front of people from all walks of life.

Destroy the powerful image that Konoha has maintained for many years!

This is probably the real plan of the Fourth Kazekage.

With Sunagakure's current strength, it is impossible for Sunagakure to confront Konoha head-on.

The invasion of Konoha was not really intended to launch an all-out war; the real purpose was to allow the Sand Village to achieve a strategic victory.

Let the foolish Daimyo of the Wind Country, who is planning to abandon his own country's strength and rely on Konoha's combat power, understand what national politics is.

After the Third Shinobi World War, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire formed an alliance.

The Wind Kingdom suffered severe damage to its national strength after the war, and the country's desert-filled geographical terrain also severely restricted the post-war recovery of the Wind Kingdom's economy and agriculture.

So the Daimyo of the Wind Country simply bypassed his own country's Sand Village and began to entrust a large number of ninja missions to Konoha.

This caused the Sand Village to gradually decline.

The Daimyo of the Wind Country even plans to further reduce the power of the Sand Village.

As one of the five major countries in the ninja world, the Daimyo of the Wind Country has enjoyed a brief peace for more than ten years, but is actually preparing to cut off his own country's "military power".

Instead, they strengthened the already powerful Fire Nation.

Without the power to protect one's own country, the kindness of other countries will turn into the most brutal violence.

The Daimyo of the Wind Country is so stupid that he can't even understand such common sense.

This forced the Fourth Kazekage to join forces with the recently emerging Otogakure Village in the Land of Rice Fields to plan an attack on Konoha.

Seeking cooperation with Otonagakure is also a smart move.

Compared to the small ninja villages around the Land of Fire which have been established for many years and whose intelligence has long been controlled by Konoha.

The emerging Otogakure Village in the Land of Rice has not yet been controlled by Konoha.

The Fourth Kazekage could win over Otonagakure more smoothly.

The cooperation with Otonagakure may seem dispensable to the big country of Sand Village, but it is actually the most essential strategy of the Fourth Kazekage regarding Konoha.

The Oto-nin of Oto-gakure are the main force in attacking Konoha, while the combat effectiveness of Sunagakure is preserved.

Once the strategic goal of Sand Village is achieved, the Fourth Kazekage will abandon the Otonagakure of the Land of Rice afterwards.

The act of retaining combat effectiveness can also be disguised as the Sand Village being deceived by the Sound Village.

Blame all the problems on Otonagakure and use the Land of Field to divert the conflict between the two great nations of Fire and Wind.

The only price that Sand Village had to pay was being labeled by people who didn't know the truth as "a fool who was deceived by a big country by a small country."

The profits of Sunagakure far outweigh the costs.

The strategic goals that the Fourth Kazekage wanted were extremely well-measured.

It was not enough to cause Konoha and Sunagakure to completely break up and turn from allies into enemies.

After gaining the practical benefits of a strategic victory, the Fourth Kazekage only needed to admit his mistake verbally.

If Konoha still had a shred of rationality left in its mind, it would work with Sunagakure to try its best to suppress the possibility of a full-scale war between the two countries.

Prevent the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning from taking advantage of the all-out war between Konoha and Sunagakure.

The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is now in power in Konoha, will just swallow this loss.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's indecisiveness in his later years was no secret to anyone with a discerning eye.

The Fourth Kazekage's strategy can be said to have seen through the Third Hokage's.

As long as the subsequent political negotiations go well, the cooperation between Sunagakure and Otogakure can completely become a strategy that Konoha and Sunagakure "had already discussed" long ago.

It became that Sand Village "helped" Konoha, giving Konoha a legitimate reason to intervene in the Otogakure Village, a new ninja village that was full of uncertainty for Konoha.

The old-fashioned but effective method of "big country politics, small country pays the bill".

It's a pity that the Fourth Kazekage had really bad luck.

Apart from Naruto who is a time traveler, who would have thought that the leader of the Sound Village was Orochimaru, who defected from Konoha many years ago and was once one of the three ninjas?

Orochimaru in turn took advantage of the Fourth Kazekage, disrupting the strategic goal that the Fourth Kazekage originally wanted to achieve.

Orochimaru took advantage of the situation and began to implement his extreme plan to destroy Konoha through the entire Sand Village.

The tide is surging and the winner is the king.

This is what the ninja world really looks like.

Naruto stared at Gaara's back, wondering about the reason behind Konoha's destruction plan.

While Naruto was sighing in his heart about the cruel nature of the ninjas who would do anything to achieve their goals, Temari's voice rang in his ears.

"Don't give Gaara any extra thoughts, you'll die."

Noticing Naruto's gaze towards Gaara, Temari suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Naruto turned his head and looked at Temari in surprise. He didn't expect Temari to take the initiative to talk to him.

But Naruto quickly controlled his emotions.

Temari's unexpected action made Naruto instantly realize that this was an opportunity.

"You are Gaara's companion. Senior Kabuto has your photo in his ninja squad intelligence about Gaara - Gaara, Kankuro - you are Temari."

Temari had obviously misunderstood the way Naruto was looking at Gaara, thinking that Naruto wanted to challenge Gaara and test his own strength.

Boys aged twelve or thirteen always like to find ways to prove themselves, especially as a sister with two younger brothers and several years of ninja experience.

It's no surprise that Temari would have such an opinion of Naruto.

In the original work, Naruto and Sasuke at this age are exactly what Temari thought.

But Naruto is different now.

Naruto did not refute Temari, but followed Temari's thoughts with a curious expression: "It's hard to say who is stronger without actual fighting."

Temari frowned as she looked at Naruto's excited expression as he was ready to fight.

She reminded Naruto with good intentions.

But the more important thing in mind is to think about Gaara.

Temari didn't want Gaara to kill innocent people too much and become emotionally agitated, making it difficult for him to suppress the monster hidden in Gaara's body.

But Naruto obviously didn't listen to her advice.

"Didn't that guy named Kabuto Yakushi also say that Gaara is the best among the candidates in this Chunin Exam. He is definitely the strongest."

Temari continued to persuade.

But even though she was advising Naruto, her expression was filled with gloom.

Temari couldn't help but think back to the B-rank mission she, Kankuro, and Gaara had carried out not long ago.

Recalling Gaara's bloody actions during the mission.

Temari was lost in her own thoughts.
