Chapter 49: Temari offers herself in marriage, Byakuya decisively refuses!
Hearing this, Temari felt as if she had found a lifeline.
"Who is he? Where is he now?"
Temari asked urgently.
"Just now, I finished the examination with him!"
The Medical Ninja then briefly explained what had happened.
That Ninja's injury was originally just as severe, but he had completely recovered in less than half a day.
So the Medical Ninja suggested they ask him how he was cured.
"Kankuro, you look after Gaara here!"
Temari then walked out with a determined look.
Sure enough, not far down the hallway, she saw the Ninja they were talking about.
"You're a Konoha Ninja, right?"
"Uh, do you need something from me?"
Rock Lee had never been this excited before.
Byakuya had not only cured the fracture in his right leg but also allowed him to witness the limit of the Eight Gates!
This point was particularly important.
Rock Lee now regarded Byakuya as his sole goal!
"May I ask, how did your right leg get fractured?"
Looking at the perfectly fine Rock Lee, Temari was now desperate to know exactly how he had fractured it.
Now, not a single trace could be seen.
"It was a side effect of me using the Eight Gates; my right leg suffered a comminuted fracture during a fight!"
Rock Lee said proudly.
In the past, Rock Lee wouldn't have been so proud.
But after seeing that a Taijutsu Ninja could achieve such great heights.
Rock Lee was no longer ashamed of being a Taijutsu Ninja.
On the contrary, he would loudly tell others that he was also a user of the Eight Gates.
"Uh!"
Temari was almost at a loss for words.
It was roughly the same; Gaara also suffered a comminuted fracture because of the Eight Gates.
"May I ask the name of the person who cured your fracture?"
Temari asked with an urgent expression.
As Gaara's sister, she couldn't just sit by while Gaara's right hand suffered a comminuted fracture.
In the future, Gaara might not even be able to perform Hand Seals with one hand!
"Oh, you're asking about that!"
Only then did Rock Lee realize what she was asking.
Then, under Temari's hopeful gaze, Rock Lee spoke that person's name.
"It's Byakuya!"
"That Byakuya?"
"The Byakuya from the match that just ended!"
Great!
The sliver of hope Temari had managed to raise was shattered just like that.
What was the difference between telling her and not telling her?
As if Byakuya would actually step in to save Gaara.
After all, they were neither relatives... nor friends.
"By the way, could you tell me where Byakuya's house is?"
However, Temari still managed to get the location of Byakuya's house from Rock Lee.
Afterwards, Temari returned to the ward.
At this time, Gaara had already woken up.
"How is it? Did you find that person?"
Kankuro asked as soon as he saw Temari return.
But Temari remained very silent.
"I found him. I'll go and invite him tonight."
Temari's sorrow wasn't because of her own helplessness.
It was because earlier at the door, Baki had demanded that Gaara must carry out the plan as scheduled.
"Baki just told me, Gaara must continue to participate in the Finals in three days!"
Temari's words left Kankuro looking completely bewildered.
"What's the situation? Wasn't Gaara already eliminated? Besides, Gaara is injured like this, how can he compete!"
It was as if Kankuro was seeing his Kazekage father for the first time.
"Father argued strongly with the Third Hokage and secured a spot for Gaara."
Temari didn't care now how their 'father' had actually secured the spot.
What chilled Temari's heart was that the man could argue strongly at a time like this, yet he couldn't stop it when Gaara and Byakuya were fighting.
"Then what about Gaara's current injuries?"
At this moment, Kankuro rarely acted like an older brother.
Temari glanced at the expressionless Gaara and sighed in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to help heal Gaara today."
Temari seemed to have made a decision, then resolutely left the ward.
And at the door stood their leading Jonin, Baki!
"How is it? Can Gaara's current condition allow him to summon the Tailed Beast?"
Baki asked after glancing at Temari.
He originally didn't want to continue with this mission either, but there was no choice—the 'Kazekage' had given him a death order.
"Understood!"
Temari said indifferently, her words devoid of any emotion.
Then Temari walked out of the hospital.
"Sigh!"
Baki also sighed; once the plan was set in motion, it simply couldn't be stopped.
Tonight, Orochimaru's people were also going to discuss the next steps of the plan with him.
On the other side, it wasn't until around dark that Byakuya returned home.
He had been delayed for a while at Ichiraku Ramen.
For no other reason than Byakuya showing Old Man Ichiraku how to make Knife-shaved noodles.
It directly made Old Man Ichiraku look as if he had seen some rare treasure.
Afterwards, Byakuya taught the method of making Knife-shaved noodles to Old Man Ichiraku.
In fact, Byakuya also had selfish motives; he was already tired of eating the seafood noodles of the Naruto world.
He wanted to reminisce about his previous delicacies.
But Byakuya couldn't cook every day.
So Byakuya gave the method to Old Man Ichiraku, which both saved him time and added a signature dish to Ichiraku Ramen.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Just as Byakuya was about to go home, his perception instantly discovered someone at his door.
However, after seeing the visitor clearly, Byakuya just calmly opened the door.
"Are you here to avenge your brother?"
Byakuya said jokingly.
"No, I just want you to step in and save Gaara!"
Temari followed Byakuya inside just like that.
After Byakuya finished tidying the room, he began to draw cards, completely ignoring Temari.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening (Blue) Wind Release Ninjutsu: Includes all Wind Release Ninjutsu from C-rank to A-rank."
"???"
Byakuya turned his head to glance at Temari; as expected, he shouldn't have let her in.
But what Byakuya didn't expect was that Temari knelt down immediately upon seeing him look at her.
"Please, save Gaara, I can agree to anything!"
Temari was giving it her all for Gaara's sake.
"I refuse!"
