Chapter 347: Chapter 347

"Get lost, and don't think of pretending to be the Kazekage's relative again!"

The Sand ninja escorted Temari to the village gate and promptly threw her out. Although they confirmed she wasn't responsible for the lightning train's destruction, her claims of being related to Gaara and Kankuro annoyed them enough to expel her.

"Leave the Sand Village, and stay out of the Land of Wind!"

The Sand ninja returned to their posts, leaving Temari behind.

"Hmph! You idiots. When I restore your memories, you'll all owe me apologies—especially Gaara," Temari muttered bitterly.

Despite knowing her brothers weren't at fault for this bizarre situation, she felt disheartened. Her primary goal now was to return to Konoha. Surely, Shikamaru and Shikadai wouldn't have forgotten her too?

But even that thought brought a tinge of worry. Not waiting for the train repairs, Temari quickly set off toward Konoha.

At the same time, Konoha received a report from the Tenseigan clone's merchant caravan.

When the dispatched Konoha ninjas arrived at the scene, they were stunned. A 70-meter-long white whale lay dead on land—an inconceivable sight.

Even more bizarre, the whale appeared to have been gutted, its horn and several organs missing.

The ninjas questioned the merchant caravan, but the guards claimed ignorance, having only heard strange noises. Left with no leads, the Konoha team decided to bring the whale's massive corpse back for study.

Given the ongoing missions involving mysterious creatures, some suspected a connection to the disasters they were investigating. Without proof, however, they could only escalate the matter.

After the Konoha team departed with the whale, the merchant caravan resumed its journey. Meanwhile, the Tenseigan clone discreetly handed all recovered treasures to the Kamui clone, who delivered them to Yoichi's true body in Konoha.

The clones worked seamlessly: the Tenseigan clone expanded Yoichi's influence in the ninja world, gathering intelligence, while the Kamui clone caused chaos as a shadowy antagonist. Yoichi's true body, in contrast, remained in Konoha, focused on unlocking the greatest treasures of the ninja world.

"Finally back."

Having traveled tirelessly, Temari reached Konoha at dusk. Her former status no longer valid, she resorted to sneaking in.

Exhausted from the journey and her injuries, she hurried to the Nara household, hoping Shikamaru and Shikadai would recognize her.

"Please, don't let them forget me too," she prayed silently, leaning against a wall to catch her breath.

"Hey, Auntie, what are you doing here?"

Temari turned sharply at the familiar voice. Seeing Shikadai, her heart leapt with relief, but her joy quickly turned to concern as she realized how he addressed her.

Rushing to him, she grabbed his shoulders. "Shikadai! It's me, your mother. Don't you recognize me?"

"Ouch, let go!" Shikadai winced, pulling away.

Eyeing her suspiciously, he asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"It's me! Your mother!" Temari exclaimed desperately.

Shikadai's expression darkened. "Don't joke about the dead. My mother passed away years ago. Leave, or I'll call the guard."

"Shikadai!"

As her son stormed past her, Temari's voice broke with anger and heartbreak. She stomped the ground in frustration, barely holding back tears.

Even her own child didn't remember her. That realization stung more than she could bear.

Still, she refused to give up. Shikamaru was the most intelligent person she knew—if anyone could help, it was him.

"This has to be the work of that foggy white whale," Temari thought bitterly, making her way to the Hokage's office.

But without her official status, the heightened security at Konoha prevented her from entering. Forced to wait outside, she requested someone deliver a message to Shikamaru.

After half an hour, Shikamaru emerged, his expression curious yet guarded.

"You were looking for me?" he asked politely.

"Listen to me. You might not believe this, but I'm your wife, Temari. Our son is Shikadai. Eight years ago, you proposed to me and said..."

Temari recounted their history, carefully explaining her encounter with the foggy white whale and its apparent ability to erase memories.

Before Shikamaru could respond, Ino exited the Hokage's office and greeted him.

"Still here, Shikamaru? Who's this?"

"I'm Temari," she began, but Shikamaru cut her off.

"Just someone I don't know. I was about to leave," he said, dismissively.

Turning back to Temari, his tone grew cold. "Don't joke about Shikadai's mother. I won't forgive you for it."

"Shikamaru, I'm telling the truth! That white whale erased everyone's memories of me. You've mentioned an onmyoji in Konoha who predicted these disasters. He could help us!"

Shikamaru froze. Few knew about Yoichi, the mysterious onmyoji assisting Konoha. Temari's knowledge of him—and her detailed recollection of his past—made him pause.

"Come with me," he said finally, leading her back into the Hokage's office.

Naruto looked up as Shikamaru entered. "Back already? Something wrong?"

Pointing to Temari, Shikamaru asked, "Do you recognize her?"

Naruto frowned. "No. Should I?"

Temari left the room as instructed, and Shikamaru relayed her story to Naruto.

Naruto scratched his head. "Weird. Everyone knows your wife passed away years ago. Why would someone make up something like this?"

"She knows about the onmyoji and details of my past only someone close to me would know," Shikamaru replied.

Naruto nodded. "If that white whale really altered memories, it's terrifying. Let's consult Sasuke—his Rinnegan might detect traces of manipulation. Meanwhile, take her to Yoichi. If anyone can make sense of this, it's him."

"Alright," Shikamaru agreed.

As Shikamaru left with Temari, Naruto called for a ninja to gather more information.

"If that whale's power is as strong as she claims, it might have left traces in others' memories. Let's see if her story checks out," Naruto said grimly.

Shikamaru led Temari through Konoha, heading for Yoichi's pharmacy. Though skeptical, he couldn't deny the strange familiarity he felt toward the woman claiming to be his wife.

Chapter 348: Chapter 348

"Apologies for disturbing you so late. We have a matter that requires your assistance."

Under the cover of night, Shikamaru knocked on the door of Yoichi's medicine shop. When the door opened, Yoichi's expression made his irritation evident. Shikamaru, aware of the strained relationship between them, adjusted his tone and bowed slightly to demonstrate respect.

"Come in," Yoichi said curtly, stepping aside to let Shikamaru and Temari enter.

Once they were seated, Yoichi wasted no time. "What's the issue? Speak quickly—I have other matters to attend to."

Shikamaru cleared his throat and began, "We've recently encountered what appears to be another otherworldly creature—a giant white whale. It's already been slain."

At this, Temari couldn't help but interject. "Wait, the white whale is dead? Who killed it—"

She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Shikamaru and Yoichi staring at her, and she quickly bit her tongue.

Shikamaru continued, "We don't know much about the creature's abilities. However, this woman, Temari, claims she encountered it yesterday. Since then, she insists everyone has forgotten her existence. She says this is the whale's doing."

Yoichi raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "A creature that erases someone's existence? Sounds fantastical."

"It does," Shikamaru admitted. "Temari claims to be my wife, but neither I nor anyone else remembers her. I even have clear memories of my actual wife, who passed away years ago. She believes this is all due to the whale's abilities. I hoped you could provide insight."

Yoichi pondered for a moment. He thought of a magical beast from another world that emitted a fog capable of erasing one's existence from memory. However, he didn't reveal this knowledge.

Feigning contemplation, he said, "That's an extraordinary claim. It's hard to imagine such a power exists. Memory alteration on such a scale would be nearly impossible unless divine intervention was involved."

He paused before suggesting, "Perhaps there's another explanation. What if her own memories were altered? If the whale somehow implanted false memories of being your wife, that might explain her conviction."

The idea struck Shikamaru like a bolt of clarity. "That... makes sense. If the whale tampered with her mind, she could genuinely believe she's my wife. But it would explain why no one else remembers her."

Temari slammed her hand on the table, rising in anger. "Shikamaru! How can you listen to this nonsense? You're my husband!"

Yoichi sighed, waving dismissively. "I've told you all I can. If you have further questions, feel free to leave them at the counter. For now, take this debate elsewhere."

Shikamaru stood, bowing slightly. "Thank you for your time. I'll see myself out."

Temari followed reluctantly, glaring at Yoichi before leaving.

Outside the shop, a Konoha ninja approached Shikamaru with a note.

"This is from the Seventh Hokage," the ninja said, handing it over.

Shikamaru unfolded the note, reading its contents with a furrowed brow. The Hokage had queried multiple people, including Sasuke, about Temari. All their responses aligned—Shikamaru's wife was deceased, and no one recognized Temari.

"It seems more likely now that her memories were altered," Shikamaru muttered. He turned to Temari. "You should stay in the village for now. When we have time, we'll look into your situation."

Temari's frustration boiled over, and she grabbed Shikamaru by the collar. "How can you just dismiss me like this? I'm your wife!"

Shikamaru sighed deeply, his expression uncharacteristically stern. "Can you even trust your own memories right now?"

Temari froze, stunned by his tone. She let go, feeling the weight of his words sink in.

"I'll continue to investigate," Shikamaru said, softening his tone. "For now, stay at the village's inn and wait. When we've dealt with the ongoing crises, we'll revisit your case."

He left without another word, heading home to check on Shikadai.

Temari watched him walk away, her heart heavy. For the first time, doubt crept into her mind.

Left with no other options, Temari wandered aimlessly before finding herself back at Yoichi's shop. Frustration and anger drove her to pound on the door until Yoichi appeared.

"What now?" Yoichi asked, his tone weary.

"It's your fault Shikamaru doesn't believe me! What's really going on?" Temari demanded, stepping into the shop without waiting for an invitation.

"Lower your voice. It's late," Yoichi said, motioning for her to follow him upstairs.

Once seated in the dimly lit room, Yoichi placed two cups of tea on the table. "Listen, I've told you everything I know. If you want answers, focus on that whale. Its abilities might hold the key to your situation."

"Do you think it's possible to reverse this?" Temari asked, her voice trembling with a mix of hope and despair.

Yoichi leaned back, studying her. "Perhaps. But it won't be easy. Such a task requires resources—rare and valuable ones. I don't work for free."

Temari frowned. "How much do you want?"

"Not money," Yoichi replied, handing her a list. "I need treasures like these. Gather five, and I'll consider helping you."

Temari glanced at the list, her heart sinking. The items were extraordinarily rare, things she had never even heard of.

"I'll look into it," she said weakly, clutching the list.

"For now, find a place to rest. Come back when you've made progress," Yoichi said, standing to show her out.

That night, Yoichi retreated into his private space, pulling out the mysterious book and other artifacts retrieved from the whale. Though he couldn't decipher the text, the objects emanated a strange energy.

Curiously, despite the whale's alleged power, Yoichi retained all his memories of Temari. He wondered if his connection to another timeline shielded him from its effects.

"Time to get to work," he muttered, summoning his Kamui clone to assist with the research.

As the night deepened, Temari lay restless in her inn room, clutching the list of impossible tasks. In a world where everyone had forgotten her, she was left wondering if even she could hold on to herself.
