"Aoba!"
Temari also noticed Aoba coming out, and turned to look at him.
In those eyes was full of urgency and grievance.
She had already tried very hard, but it was completely useless.
And these people even cursed her as a traitor, slandering that everything she did was for the sake of the village.
This was the first time Aoba had ever seen Temari show such an expression.
Because in front of him, she always displayed her strong side no matter when.
These naturally evil Sunagakure villagers really were courting death!
"Aoba-sama, this actually…"
Maki also wanted to explain a little. He hadn't expected this calamity star to suddenly come to the Sand. If he got angered, then from now on the Sand wouldn't even need to think about doing any kind of greening.
It would all become fertilizer.
"No need to say more."
Aoba directly raised his hand to stop his words. He couldn't be bothered to listen to Sunagakure's excuses, and said to Yakumo, "Let Temari sleep for a while."
"Aoba…", Temari realized something, but Yakumo, after hearing Aoba's words, directly used genjutsu.
Her whole body instantly went limp, and then she was caught in Aoba's arms.
This scene naturally also drew the attention of the Sunagakure villagers.
They all curiously looked at him, not understanding what he wanted to do.
Aoba handed Temari over to Kurenai, then finally looked at the rioting Sunagakure villagers.
"This is the first and last warning. If you do not disperse peacefully, we will enforce by force."
Hearing "enforce by force," the originally rioting crowd instantly paused, but immediately there were still leaders who loudly shouted.
"We only want to take back the rights that belong to us. You ninja have no right to enforce force on us."
"Konoha merchants, get out of Sunagakure!"
The rest of the rioting Sunagakure villagers thought of the compensation they could get after today's disturbance, and once again loudly shouted.
"Very good!"
Aoba not only didn't get angry, but instead showed a satisfied smile.
"Aoba, what should we do?"
Kurenai and Yamato came up next to him, expressions worried.
Logically speaking, these Sand troublemakers hadn't harmed them, just shouted slogans there.
And they didn't have law enforcement rights in the Sand, so indeed they weren't qualified to enforce by force.
But the problem was, in the ninja world, whoever had the bigger fist, the reasoning was in their hands.
Aoba lowered his eyes, and the pattern in them had already changed.
This was the first time he used his other eye technique for something serious.
Imaginary Manifestation!
Right in front of the Konoha ninjas blocking the Sunagakure villagers, iron rods appeared in all their hands.
This left both sides looking somewhat blank, and quite a few on Konoha's side looked toward Aoba.
Aoba kept a cold face, "I am the disciple of the Third Hokage, and will be the next Hokage. From here on, I will bear responsibility for anything that happens."
"And don't use ninjutsu. Just don't kill anyone on the spot."
Quite a few Konoha ninjas' eyes lit up at these words, their gazes toward the Sand villagers turning fierce.
During this period, they had suffered quite a lot, but were worried about affecting the village's actions, so they hadn't dared to act rashly.
Now, someone was backing them.
And the originally shouting Sunagakure villagers instantly fell silent.
"Full force! Assault!"
And as Aoba's last shout fell, large numbers of Konoha ninjas, like wild horses loosed from reins, swung their iron rods and charged the Sunagakure villagers.
The Sunagakure villagers instantly scattered in chaos, fleeing in all directions.
Aoba watched for a while, then added another sentence.
"I don't see who swung, but I see very clearly who didn't swing!"
With those words, the Konoha ninjas became even more zealous.
Those rods were swinging so fast they left afterimages.
"Aoba, attacking ordinary villagers like this, isn't this a bit much?", Kurenai quietly asked by Aoba's ear.
Aoba looked completely puzzled, "Ordinary villagers? Where did ordinary villagers come from?"
He casually picked up a rock from the ground, and said, "Wasn't it them who struck first?"
Kurenai: "..."
"Aoba, will this affect relations between the two villages?", Yamato's tone also carried worry.
But Aoba shook his head, and asked, "Captain Yamato, do you know why teacher let me come over?"
"Why?"
"Because I really do have the ability to wipe out Sunagakure in a short time."
"..."
That settled it.
And off to the side, Maki had already begun trembling in fear.
Sometimes he really hated his position in Sunagakure being neither high nor low, having no choice but to face this calamity star.
———
The troublemaking rabble naturally would be dealt with by stationed Konoha ninjas, but the big figures behind them required Aoba himself to settle.
"According to statistics, in this disturbance, the beaten Sunagakure villagers on average took six strikes per second."
Inside the Kazekage building, an emergency meeting was being held.
At this moment, a Sand ANBU was reporting the "battle record" of Konoha ninjas in the Sand yesterday evening.
Although the Konoha ninjas were restricted from using ninjutsu, the bodies of ninjas, how could ordinary civilians withstand that?
The reason they only hit six times was because if they hit more, they might kill people, and then it would be hard to explain.
"Aoba-sama, even if you are the Hokage's disciple, allowing Konoha ninjas to attack ordinary Sunagakure villagers like this, isn't this going too far?", Fuyi, sharp-eared but burly in build, upon hearing this, sternly condemned Aoba's actions.
Chiyo, Maki, and Gaara all wanted to speak up, but were coldly interrupted by Aoba.
"Ordinary villagers? Where did ordinary villagers come from? They even dared to strike Konoha's ninjas, that makes them assailants!"
He even pulled out the rock he had picked up yesterday, still stained with blood.
As for whose blood it was, who knew.
Fuyi frowned, and likewise coldly said, "This is just a stone you casually picked up from the ground. Many of us here saw it!"
"Is that so? So that means…", Aoba's expression grew even colder, and suddenly his chakra flared violently.
"You're admitting the Sunagakure villagers attacked Konoha's ninjas? Are you trying to tear up the treaty?"
In an instant, the air in the whole conference room began to tremble. Fuyi, who had just been cold-faced, immediately changed expression.
Not only him, even Chiyo and other experts now had cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
At the scene, the only ones who had witnessed Aoba's true strength were Maki and Gaara. The others had thought the two exaggerated, but now, just this chakra alone was enough to terrify them.
This chakra instantly reminded Chiyo of Konoha's "God of Shinobi," the First Hokage, and she hurried to speak.
"Aoba-sama, you misunderstand, this matter…"
Aoba raised his hand to cut her off, and also withdrew his chakra, "Whether it's a misunderstanding, I can tell. I also don't wish for this kind of thing to happen again."
With this display of might given, the room instantly fell silent, and Fuyi also clenched his teeth, fists tight.
Aoba glanced at him, then continued.
"And also, about the position of Kazekage, you should make a decision."
"I hope Gaara becomes Kazekage. Who approves? Who opposes?"
