"Maki, why haven't you packed?" Temari asked.

"Advisor Gojo said I should—decide after seeing our sensei," Maki replied, her voice flat. The news of Pakura's disappearance had—broken her. The ninja world held little appeal now.

But then, her eyes widened. Pakura, her sensei, was walking towards them.

"Sensei..." she whispered, her voice trembling.

"Huh?" Temari, too, stared in disbelief.

...

Pakura looked at them, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.

She'd thought, after becoming a—ghost in Konoha, she'd never see her student, or the Suna princess, again.

And yet, here they were.

Gojo Kaigetsu could have—kept her locked away in his lab, a—plaything.

But he hadn't. He'd made her an Avenger, given her a purpose. And now—this.

'He's—kind,' she thought, a warmth spreading through her.

'Is this—the Will of Fire?'

To be stationed in Otogakure, to care for Temari, to see Maki again—it was a dream come true.

And the price?

She'd agreed to become the Sixth Kazekage, and—to this.

Pakura blushed, her voice barely a whisper. "Temari—while you're in Otogakure, I'll be—looking after you. You can call me—Mother. Or—Pakura-sensei."

"M-Mother?!"

"Sensei!" Maki rushed forward, throwing her arms around Pakura. Pakura smiled, her touch gentle, maternal. "I'm here, Maki. I'm always here."

[Konoha Times Announcement: The ninja world faces a growing threat of assassination. To address this crisis, Konoha is launching a new initiative: The Avengers Initiative. We urge all citizens of the Land of Fire, and all ninja villages, to provide any intel regarding bounty ninja and underground exchange offices. Let us work together to create a safer ninja world. Please send all information to: Konoha – Avengers Tower.]

[Kumogakure Announcement: Assassinations are rampant. Elder Advisor is dead...]

[Sunagakure Announcement: The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is dead—A new bounty has been placed on Sasori of the Red Sand, along with all ninja wearing black cloaks with red clouds.]

[Kirigakure Announcement: The Fourth Mizukage is gravely injured...]

Konoha's declaration sparked a—movement.

With the Four Great Villages seemingly united, even Iwagakure offered symbolic support.

[Iwagakure Announcement: The Third Tsuchikage has—thrown out his back.]

The five villages, united against a common enemy. A rare occurrence. A historic moment.

But aside from Konoha, none had actually committed to forming their own Avengers. They offered only words of support and—vague promises of intelligence sharing.

If they discovered any underground ninja activity within their borders, they'd—inform Konoha.

Who would deploy their strongest ninja for such a—risky endeavor?
