"Hey, hey, hey, you need to restrain yourself."
Kankuro said dissatisfiedly.
Temari didn't care about the surrounding stares, but he was getting goosebumps from being stared at along with her.
Those gazes were just too terrifying.
As if they wanted to devour them alive.
Kankuro's poison was the same as Sasuke's.
So Takumi directly made an antidote, which was delivered by Sunagakure's Shinobi.
After the medicine cured him, Kankuro immediately caught up, escorting Gaara to safety.
He and Temari, as Gaara's older brother and sister, were also his personal bodyguards.
Although in terms of strength, Gaara was the strongest of the three.
"None of your business."
Temari glared at him, then turned to look at Takumi, her face already replaced with a gentle smile. "Anyway, thank you very much for your help this time. If you ever need anything from us next time, please don't hesitate."
This speed of changing expressions made even Kankuro admire her.
Faster than his puppets changing.
"So slow."
Sasori said again.
Impatience filled his voice.
"Hey, hey, don't forget your position."
Takumi reminded him. "You're not the famous Sasori of the Red Sand anymore."
"As a prisoner, you need to have the self-awareness of a prisoner."
Takumi's words silenced Sasori.
Or rather, Sasori was silent most of the time anyway.
With an expression that didn't want to talk to anyone.
"Hmm?"
Takumi suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly, turning to look to his right.
He had just seen a familiar figure through his Observation Haki.
It was Kakashi, who had disappeared after leaving the Hokage's office, and Yamato following behind him.
"So Kakashi-senpai went to find someone."
Takumi suddenly understood. "I thought he went to read Jiraiya-sama's books."
Not many people knew what Jiraiya's books were.
After all, no one would connect the person who wrote such novels with the legendary Sannin.
But Kakashi was very fascinated by Jiraiya's books.
Whenever he had time, he would take them out and read them, with a very devout attitude.
He could be said to be Jiraiya's loyal fan.
"Finally here."
Sasori snorted coldly, saying another word.
This time, Takumi didn't bother with him.
The next thing was the important part.
"Sorry we're late."
Seeing so many people already gathered, Kakashi's first words were an apology.
"It's okay, we haven't been waiting long."
Takumi smiled, then turned his gaze to Yamato.
Although he knew who Yamato was,
At this stage, as someone who had never met Yamato before, he naturally couldn't show that he recognized him.
"And this is?"
He turned to ask Kakashi.
"He's the one the Hokage-sama sent to build the house."
Kakashi pointed at Yamato. "Just tell him what kind of house you want."
"He's indeed very good at this."
Kakashi said, skillfully taking out "Icha-Icha Paradise" from his pocket and going to a corner to read.
"I'm Yamato. Nice to meet you, Takumi-kun."
Yamato stepped forward, his honest, kind face showing a sincere smile.
"Hello, I'm..."
Takumi also extended his hand, but just as he was about to introduce himself, Yamato grasped his hand and interrupted him.
"Takumi-kun, you don't need to introduce yourself."
Yamato had a gentle smile on his face. "There's no one in the village now who doesn't know you."
"Being able to use my power to help you a little this time is also my honor."
Although also a Jonin, Yamato positioned himself very humbly.
There were very complex reasons for this.
Yamato is a very special existence in Konoha.
Because he possessed the Wood Release, the Kekkei Genkai of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama.
He obtained Wood Release as an experimental subject during the collaboration between Orochimaru and Danzo on the Wood Release Revival Project.
All the other infant experimental subjects from the same period failed and died.
And he was also on the verge of death.
Even Orochimaru considered him a failure and abandoned him.
But he tenaciously survived, relying on his strong will to live, and was extremely fortunate to be discovered by Danzo and survive.
At the same time, he successfully inherited the Wood Release that only the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, could use.
Although his Wood Release was considerably weaker compared to Hashirama's,
This also illustrated that it was Hashirama himself who was amazing, not the Wood Release.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Takumi revealed a shy smile.
"Senpai, don't joke. This time, I really need to rely on your help."
Takumi said modestly, while also showing a hint of curiosity. "I heard that senpai is particularly good at building houses. I wonder if I could see it in action?"
"That way, I can confirm what style of house to build afterwards."
Takumi's request was reasonable and logical.
For Takumi, who theoretically had never met Yamato before, he naturally wouldn't know that Yamato could use Wood Release.
Through this request, he could openly witness Yamato's Wood Release and then be able to respond more naturally afterwards.
"Of course, no problem."
Yamato still had a gentle smile.
But with so many people watching, the naturally introverted him couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He took a few steps forward, took a few deep breaths, and immediately formed hand seals.
"Wood Release: Four Pillar House Technique!"
Yamato called out softly. On the vacant land in front of him, thick vines suddenly emerged and, after transforming, gradually became a house.
And this move by Yamato, seemingly very easy, was actually very easy.
But what it revealed was already enough to shock all the onlookers.
"This is..."
Shikamaru's eyes widened. "Wood Release? But how?"
Compared to those who were just curious like Naruto and Lee, he knew too well what Wood Release meant to Konoha.
However, since the death of Hashirama, no one in Konoha had been able to inherit Wood Release.
Even Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade, was the same.
'But why?'
'This suddenly appearing person could actually use Wood Release, which had been lost for decades in Konoha?'
'This was too unbelievable!'
"Amazing, a house appeared just like that."
Naruto exclaimed loudly, his eyes sparkling. Beside him, Lee was the same, his face full of interest.
He wished he could rush down right then and see it up close.
The civilians were also discussing animatedly.
They weren't amazed by Wood Release, but by the suddenly appearing house.
For these ordinary people, Wood Release didn't hold any special meaning.
Or rather, since they rarely saw Ninjutsu, they couldn't even recognize it as Wood Release.
They just thought this technique was very convenient, easily creating a house.
"Wood Release?"
Sasori frowned. "I didn't expect Konoha still had someone who mastered Wood Release. They hid it well."
He had been active in the Shinobi World for so long and hadn't received any information about this at all.
"Konoha has many secrets you don't know."
Kakashi casually remarked.
What he said was also true.
After all, Sasori was an outsider, and not a specialized intelligence Shinobi, so he naturally couldn't know Konoha's secrets.
