64: Chapter 64 Sister FengyingA few days later, at the port of the Land of Waves.
A sailboat bearing the insignia of Sunagakure slowly approached the shore.
As the plank was lowered, a tall and beautiful figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Sister Fengying is clearly dressed up carefully today.
She unusually didn't wear her signature cropped mesh combat suit, but instead changed into a modified Sunagakure-style dress.
The skirt features a high slit, and as she walks, a long, slender leg encased in delicate black stockings is faintly visible.She wears exquisite high-heeled sandals with tiny bells tied around her ankles.
Her upper body featured a perfectly placed deep V-neck, revealing her delicate collarbone and an alluring touch.She wore a sheer shawl over her shoulders, and her long, golden hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, adorned only with a delicate desert star hair clip at her temple.
With light makeup on her face, her eyes, though lacking some of the fierceness of the battlefield, exuded a more charming and alluring femininity.
Her appearance immediately captivated the eyes of the chamber of commerce members and workers coming and going at the port.
"Gulp." Someone swallowed first.
Temari seemed oblivious to the stares around her, a polite smile on her face, as she walked straight toward the chamber of commerce staff who came to greet her.
"Lady Temari, welcome back to the Land of Waves."
Shizune looked at the radiant Temari before her and was secretly amazed.
Is this Sunagakure princess here to discuss serious business, or to put on a fashion show?
"Miss Shizune, excuse me."
Temari's gaze had already passed over Shizune and was now fixed on the direction of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters."The main purpose of this visit is to represent the Kazekage and Sunagakure to express our formal gratitude to your Chamber of Commerce for your assistance in resisting the Akatsuki's invasion last time, and to discuss some details of the subsequent joint defense."
The reason is official and impeccable.
But looking at her almost blindingly bright outfit, Shizune silently thought to herself: Does she really need to dress like this for a thank-you gift?This is probably a case of ulterior motives.
Sakura and Ino, who were well-informed, received the news almost simultaneously that "the Sand Village Princess has arrived in full regalia."
In the Chamber of Commerce's medical laboratory, Xiaoying was recording data in front of a meridian model when she heard the news and snapped the pen in her hand.
"That.that Temari!She's here again?" Sakura gritted her teeth."And.and she's dressed so beautifully?"
The merchant guild maid who came to report added in a low voice, "Yes.yes, Lord Haruno, Lady Temari looks especially beautiful today.Many people at the port are staring at her."
Sakura looked down at her training uniform, which was stained with medicine, and then imagined Temari's sexy and beautiful appearance.A strong sense of crisis arose within her.
"Damn it!I haven't even finished dealing with Chahana Ino yet, and now this one's showing off her legs!" She rubbed her hair in frustration.
Meanwhile, Ino, who was arranging flowers in her own flower shop, heard the news from the Yamanaka ninja and accidentally broke the stem of the beautiful rose in her hand.
"Temari?" Ino's eyebrows shot up."Didn't she go back to Sunagakure?Why is she back in the Land of Waves?And dressed all over like that?What's she up to?"
Looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in a simple apron, she stomped her foot in frustration: "No way!I can't lose!"
She immediately dropped the flower shears and rushed into the inner room.
The Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Naruto's study.
Temari entered, guided by Shizune, a fragrant breeze wafting towards her.
"President Uzumaki, I apologize for disturbing you." Temari nodded slightly, her smile bright.
Naruto looked up, his gaze lingering on her for a moment, a genuine admiration flashing in his eyes.He then greeted her, "Miss Temari, please sit down."
His tone was normal, without much fluctuation.
Temari felt a little defeated, but quickly rallied.
She gracefully sat down opposite Naruto, her legs crossed, the slit design revealing her beautiful curves.
She began to give a serious report on the progress of Sunagakure's construction of the joint defense base, as well as details of some material needs, her voice clear and articulate.
Naruto listened attentively, occasionally asking questions or offering suggestions.
The entire process was incredibly professional.
But Temari's little antics never stopped.
When she speaks, she leans forward slightly; when she hands over documents, her fingertips will unintentionally brush against Naruto's hand; when she picks up the tea that Shizune brings, she will elegantly lift it with her little finger, glancing at Naruto with a seemingly casual look.
Silently standing to the side, she felt like a giant light bulb, and a particularly high-wattage one at that.
Looking at Temari's face, practically screaming seduction, and then at her own student council president's indifferent "no matter how alluring you are, I remain unmoved" demeanor, she inwardly raged:
"This Sand Village princess is really going all out!Does the Kazekage even know how hard his sister is doing with 'diplomacy'?"
Meanwhile, in Sunagakure, in the Kazekage's office.
Gaara looked at the encrypted intelligence he had just received from the Land of Waves, which briefly reported that Temari had arrived safely and begun "formal talks."
He put down the scroll and said to Kankuro, who was waiting for instructions, "Notify the finance department to allocate a special fund to my sister for.international image building and necessary diplomatic expenses."
Kankuro's lips trembled beneath his mask: "Gaara, what is this."
Gaara looked out the window and patiently explained, "My sister likes it, and the other person is also valuable, so it's no problem to support her."
Kankuro: "."
He felt that his younger brother was being a little too open-minded in supporting his older sister in pursuing men.
Corridor of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce headquarters in the Land of Waves.
Sakura and Ino rushed out from different directions almost simultaneously and bumped into each other in the corridor leading to Naruto's study.
Both of them changed into what they thought were their best clothes and dressed up carefully.
Sakura wore a pink fitted dress that accentuated her figure, while Ino wore a purple dress that exuded elegance.
Their eyes metSparks flew everywhere.
"Broad forehead!What are you doing here?" Ino was the first to challenge her.
"Hmph!I'm here to report the latest progress of the medical department to Lord Naruto!What are you, a flower seller, doing at headquarters?" Sakura retorted without backing down.
"Me?I'm here to discuss the flower supply for the next quarter with Naruto!This is a legitimate business collaboration!"
The two glared at each other, both seeing right through the other's little scheme.
Just then, the study door opened.
Temari walked out with a smile on her face.When she saw the two people standing at the door, she understood.Then her smile became even brighter: "Oh my, it's Haruno-san and Yamanaka-san.What a coincidence."
She smoothed a strand of hair from her temple."I've finished discussing the 'serious business' with the guild leader.If you have anything to do, you can go in now."
Sakura and Ino were furious at her radiant appearance, as if she had gotten a great deal.
Temari smiled at them, then walked away with graceful steps, her high heels clicking crisply on the ground, completely satisfied.
Sakura and Ino exchanged a glance, temporarily setting aside their hostility and looking at Temari's back with a shared sense of righteous indignation.
"The enemy is too strong!" Sakura whispered.
"We must join forces!" Ino clenched her fist.
"I used to think my opponents were gold, then I realized they were diamonds, and now they've been promoted to pro players?"
Naruto sat in his study, sensing the tense atmosphere at the door, and shook his head with amusement.
Women.
He didn't dislike Temari's initiative; in fact, he admired her courage.
The Sand Village Princess is top-notch in terms of status, looks, and strength.She can completely bind the Sand Village to her cause, which would be of great benefit.
But he would not be easily seduced by beauty.
Everything must be under control.
"How's Afei doing in the logistics department lately?" he casually asked Jingyin, who was still in the room.
Shizune paused for a moment, not expecting the president to suddenly ask about the masked handyman: "Uh.according to Tiezhou, his performance was very.outstanding, and the logistical efficiency has improved a lot, but.he's still a bit strange."
