Prologue
Temari stared at the memo that had been given to her by one of the council members during their meeting. She knew that if Gaara was not backed into a corner, he would never have agreed to this. The conduct of a Kazehime Trial was deemed by her little brother as barbaric and unrefined method to choose the next Kazehime. And though he did in fact acknowledged that this had brought forth the best Kazehimes known by Suna, he was not interested at all in having a Kazehime or a family.
'Those idiots would never have thought of a way to back Gaara into a corner without someone else pulling the reigns. I will have to look into this myself.'
Temari sighed, the only consolation they had was she was the current acting Kazehime as the sister of the Kazekage, thus by Suna tradition, she was to oversee the trial and choose the next Kazehime.
She looked at the prospective candidate list and sighed, not one of them had garnered even a bit of reputation for her to deem worthy. For all she knew, they could be some mediocre clan heiress that only knew basics.
She needed a plan and she needed it, now.
