The master and disciple followed behind Temari not daring to glance at the villagers around them...
"Oh ho…"
"How'd you get those muscles..."
"Why are they so perky?"
"Want to know?"
"Come to my place tonight... I'll show you something real nice."
"Hehehehe…"
In a corner, two muscular men chuckled strangely, which sent shivers down the master and disciple's spines.
Not only that, this terrifying scene can be seen everywhere in Sunagakure.
Naruto's skin was crawling so hard he could practically feel his goosebumps falling off.
'Damn it!!'
'I thought the problems in Sunagakure were serious enough...'
'But I never expected it to be this horrifying!!!'
Naruto found it hard to imagine how the captured enemies would cope with these new-age Puppet Masters.
'Or would they be subjected to the ultimate humiliation of the Shinobi World?'
But that wasn't even the worst part...
Right now, Naruto is more worried about this degenerate culture spreading.
He doesn't care about other villages, but if Konoha is also infected by this terrifying trend...
'F**k!'
'If this continues, the Shinobi World is doomed!!'
Naruto never expected that before Obito could even start the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Shinobi World would already face an unprecedented crisis.
Even Jiraiya's thoughts now are similar to Naruto's.
They had originally come here just to slack off, but for the sake of Konoha… no, the entire Shinobi World's moral integrity...
They couldn't let this continue!
The master and disciple exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination.
When Jiraiya looked at Naruto, an extremely absurd thought flashed through his mind...
'... Could it be that Naruto is the Child of Prophecy I had been searching for all this time?'
The master and disciple walked with heavy hearts, while Kankuro, who was at the back, would cheerfully greet every muscular man they passed.
Temari looked at her brother and walked in front with a frosty expression.
She used to think Gaara was the biggest headache in her life...
But she never expected Kankuro to turn out like this.
"Naruto!!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly called out from the distance. When Naruto heard someone calling his name again, his body subconsciously flinched.
When he looked up, he found it was the red-haired cold-blooded killer, Gaara.
Noticing that Gaara's physique was still the same as before, Naruto let out a long sigh of relief.
'Thank god...'
'At least the future Kazekage was still normal.'
Gaara rushed up to Naruto excitedly, then grabbed his hand and held it tightly, "Naruto!"
"Thank you so much!"
"I finally got a good night's sleep since my last fight with you guys!"
Gaara felt that those words alone were still unable to express the gratitude in his heart, so he added another sentence, "Now I sleep hugging a door panel every night."
"It's the most wonderful feeling in the world!"
Naruto: "!!!"
'HELP!!!'
'GAARA'S NOT OKAY EITHER!!!'
Naruto forced a strained laugh and pulled his hand back.
'While Gaara's dark circles are gone and his spirits are better...'
'But isn't it a little weird to be grateful to someone who beat you up?'
Naruto could understand Gaara's changes in the original work.
But Naruto remembered that he had only beaten this kid...but hadn't said any inspirational speeches…
So how did things turn out like this?!
'First Kankuro, now Gaara...'
'Are you guys in Sunagakure in some kind of BDSM cult?'
Naruto turned to look at Temari.
At this point, he felt that the only normal person in this village was this girl who liked Shikamaru.
"Sigh…"
Temari rubbed her forehead and sighed deeply.
Compared to Kankuro, Gaara was actually quite normal.
If it weren't for this reason, Temari would even have thought of defecting from Sunagakure.
It's not that she was disloyal, but because the current Sunagakure was beyond saving.
Glancing at the yellow-haired guy beside her, Temari's emotions were a tangled mess.
It can be said that Naruto is fully responsible for Sunagakure's current state.
She really wanted to fight this yellow-haired guy to the death.
But right now, he was also the only one who could fix it.
However, it's a shame that Temari didn't understand this yellow-haired guy at all.
According to past experience…
Whenever Uzumaki Naruto came to solve the problem, he would only make the situation worse.
"Whatever..."
"Just follow me."
Jiraiya and Naruto exchanged a glance, nodded, and walked into the Kazekage Building.
Kankuro and Gaara behind them wanted to catch up, but were glared back by Temari.
Kankuro pouted and muttered under his breath, "Tch…"
"Women are trouble."
Then he turned his head to look at the two muscular men in the corner and greeted them warmly, "Yo! Brother!"
"The new puppet I made recently is pretty awesome."
"If you hit someone with this, they will die. It can also make our muscles even perkier..."
"Do you want to come check it out?"
Slinging his arms around his two 'brothers', Kankuro playfully wrestled with them as they walked away from the Kazekage Building.
"Tch."
"How can a puppet be as good as a door panel!"
Gaara said this with disdain, then sat down at the door of the Kazekage Building.
He was going to wait here until Naruto came out...
…
When Naruto and Jiraiya entered the Kazekage Building, they were quickly led by Temari to an office.
As soon as they entered the door, the master and disciple saw several old guys gathered together, sighing in despair.
Among them was someone they knew all too well, Chiyo...
"Urgh…"
"Bleegghh…"
When the master and the disciple caught a glimpse of Chiyo, they were reminded of the swimsuit picture. They lowered their heads and leaned against the wall to retch in tacit understanding.
There was no helping it…
The moment they saw her in person, their brains unwillingly conjured up that swimsuit image.
"Honored guests from Konoha..."
"Please, take a seat."
Chiyo coughed twice and motioned for the two to take a seat.
But the motion only made Naruto and Jiraiya retch again.
The Sunagakure's higher-ups simply thought that they were not used to Sunagakure's harsh environment.
After what felt like an eternity, the master and disciple finally managed to suppress their nausea… though they still refused to look Chiyo directly in the eye.
"We've called you here..."
"Because we've truly run out of options."
The first thing Ebizo did was sigh.
When the higher-ups saw that the two had not spoken a word, they began to question them.
After all, they called them here to solve the problem.
Every single villager in Sunagakure had complaints about the new generation of Puppet Masters.
Especially the women in the village.
Just imagine that not only do your husband, son, brother and other relatives and friends become muscular men, but they also start to get close to other muscular men.
No sane person could accept this!
For this reason, the Sunagakure's higher-ups had even considered exterminating them all.
But now, these Puppet Masters had made up half the village's population. Killing them would mean Sunagakure's immediate collapse.
But if they didn't act...
At this rate, the entire village would still be doomed sooner or later.
To put it more exaggeratedly, if this group of Puppet Masters go out, they will infect the entire Shinobi World. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a crisis for the entire Shinobi World.
"Representatives from Konoha!"
"You've seen our village's situation with your own eyes, haven't you?"
"The Shinobi World is now facing an unprecedented crisis!"
"We beg for your assistance!"
Ebizo stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of the two men, and the others around him also stood up and followed suit.
"WE BEG FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!!"
Seeing this, Naruto's expression twisted.
'I'm so tired…'
'I didn't expect the crisis in the Shinobi World to be like… THIS?!'
