Red sand dust

Once again standing outside the majestic Konoha gate, several Suna ninjas were still feeling emotional for this rich village.

"Listen to my command later and don't act rashly!"

Daimaru warned,

"The 'arms fight' between the two villages has just ended. The attitude of the Konoha ninja towards us may not be very good. In the face of provocation, you must exercise restraint..."

"You are the most impulsive among us!"

Kankuro curled his lips. A guy without self-awareness still has the nerve to give blind orders without shame?

"Besides, why should we listen to you?"

"Calm down, Kankuro!"

Daimaru smiled and pointed to the vest on his body,

"I'm a chuunin, isn't that enough?"

Kankuro wanted to say a few more words, but Temari stopped him.

"You can't even bear my bad words. Wouldn't it be worse if you meet a Konoha ninja with ill intentions?"

Daimaru clapped his hands and gestured awkwardly with scissor hands.

"No matter what you thought before, change your mood now! We are Suna ninjas who come to Konoha Village for friendly exchanges with love and peace!"

"Stop being so nagging, just take care of yourself. No one here is better at observing what is happening than you!"

"All right!"

He is clearly a chuunin, why can't he establish his prestige? Daimaru must ask Nekaze Jounin for advice on this issue in the future.

"Set off!"

Stepping into the gate of Konoha Village, the two gatekeepers who have remained unchanged for ten thousand years...

"Huh? No, where are Shenyue Izumo and Gangzitie?"

"The two you mentioned were sent by Tsunade-sama to organize the warehouse. It's really hard work!"

The flying bamboo dragonfly in front of me has its eyes covered with bandages, so why can it still see?

The guy next to him, if Daimaru remembered correctly, his name was Ogata. During the gatekeeping mission, he was blatantly fast asleep. Isn't it a little too arrogant?

"When I saw those two weakly receiving guests who entered the village, I thought they lacked enthusiasm and damaged the majesty of Konoha Village. When I see you two, I really feel that they are really good ninjas who fulfill their duties."

"Although we are familiar with each other, shouldn't you also maintain respect for the seniors of Konoha? Genin Daimaru from Suna Ninja..."

Flying Bamboo Dragonfly lazily stamped the passes of Daimaru and his party,

"After all, I am also a chuunin..."

"Sorry, senior!"

Daimaru gently beat his vest chest with his fist.

"I'm a chuunin too!"

"oh?"

The flying bamboo dragonfly raised its eyes covered by bandages,

"Sorry, my eyesight is not very good and I can't see. Are you a chuunin? The promotion of ninjas in Sunagakure Village is really hasty..."

"The frontier land is not as formal as Konoha Village, so don't we come to learn with a sincere attitude and humbly..."

Daimaru said, putting away the pass that had been completed.

"Senior, we can't wait to see the advantages of Konoha Village that we can learn from, so we're leaving first..."

After saying that, Daimaru showed a weird smirk and led the other five Suna ninjas towards the center of the village.

After walking far away, Qiancai patted his chest and said with lingering fear:

"I'm really afraid that you might quarrel with those Konoha chuunin, Daimaru, can't you be more honest?"

"What, there's something wrong with my response?"

Daimaru narrowed his eyes and said,

"Even though those guys had a bad attitude, I patiently chatted with them for a few words and said hello to them before leaving!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Daimaru, what should we do now?"

Temari peeked at the pedestrians nearby, and many of them stared at her with strange eyes.

"Go to the Hokage's house first, visit the new Hokage, and just follow your orders."

Daimaru had already expected such an encounter. The two villages were hostile not long ago, and both sides suffered casualties.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely not possible for the villagers of the two villages to get along happily with just a piece of paper.

Just as the six people were carefully avoiding the flow of people and moving forward, suddenly, a white and swift figure suddenly rushed over.

Temari was about to take action as soon as she slapped her three-star fan, and the others quickly moved closer to be on guard.

Daimaru's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand to stop everyone's counterattack. He stretched out the star puppet string to wrap around the approaching shadow, then flicked it to the side and placed it aside safely.

"This is... a ninja dog, what an ugly puppy!"

Nighteye put his hands on his hips and looked down at the ninja dog that came inexplicably.

After the figure landed, it seemed that it still wanted to struggle, but under Daimaru's control, it quickly calmed down.

"Do you know each other?"

Gaara definitely didn't know, he didn't bother to get to know an inexplicable pet, and Temari and Kankuro didn't have much impression either.

Qian, on the other hand, has a feeling of déjà vu.

"Is this Inuzuka Kiba's animal companion?"

Daimaru turned his head and looked at the little white dog that looked like it had lost its hair again. Some memories that he had not paid attention to came to mind again.

"When you put it like that, it sounds a bit like it, but..."

Daimaru had shaved Akamaru's hair completely at that time. Could it be said that this is what a puppy looks like when its hair is not evenly grown?

"Maybe you smelled my scent and came here to take revenge..."

"you?"

Temari asked with a strange look on her face,

"Did something happen when you escaped that time?"

"It's hard to describe in words!"

This matter is really not worth talking about too much. Playing a harmless little joke with a few children and almost capsizing the boat in the gutter would be too damaging to Daimaru's image.

At this moment, a fiery figure ran over from a distance and hugged the subdued ninja dog.

"Akamaru, what's wrong with you?"

The person who came was none other than Inuzuka Kiba. He carefully inspected his partner for any strangeness.

"Why don't you respond? Are you hurt..."

"Master is here, just in time! I hope you can restrain him..."

Daimaru let go of the star puppet string and said patiently in a spring-breathing tone,

"Isn't it impolite to attack an ally who has come from afar with good intentions when we meet?"

"you?"

Seeing Akamaru regaining consciousness, Inuzuka Kiba raised his head and noticed the face in front of him that he remembered so vividly.

"It's Suna Ninja! And, Daimaru! How dare you come to Konoha Village?"

"Look what you said, aren't we allies? We just had some conflicts because of a small misunderstanding. Now we are getting back on good terms, which is what people want!"

"you……"

Chatting with Daimaru, Inuzuka Kiba was really no match. At this time, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hinata, who came following the movement, also saw those familiar Suna ninjas.

"Oh! It's been a long time since I last saw you. I'm relieved to see that you're all right. I treated you that way at the time, and I feel very guilty afterwards. I'm afraid that something might happen to you, which makes me feel uneasy..."

Hinata Hinata didn't think anything of it, but Aburame Shino knew that Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village had renewed their alliance.

"They are all familiar faces. There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with them in the future!"

As he spoke, Aburame Shino asked his two teammates to leave.

"We still have a mission. Next time we meet, I hope we can compete again!"

"Happy to accompany you!"

He is obviously a guy with a weak sense of presence, but his competitive spirit is unexpectedly strong.

"Let's go!"

Next, no one will stop the sand ninjas from coming.

After a while, Daimaru and others saw Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage who had arrived belatedly.

If you ignore her age, Tsunade's dress is really eye-catching.

In contrast, Shizune, who was standing behind her, was much shy. It would be difficult for others to feel her presence if she didn't speak.

If there was such a secretary who was capable, did not do much, and worked hard without complaining, even being the Hokage would be a lot easier.

"Daimaru?"

Tsunade casually looked through the information of several people.

"it's me!"

Daimaru stepped out of the crowd and replied.

"Already a chuunin? Why wasn't Temari, who performed better and more stable than you in the chunin exams, promoted?"

Daimaru explained patiently:

"The Chuunin exams were abandoned halfway, and no Suna ninja was judged for promotion. My Chuunin qualification was promoted because of my outstanding performance against the Iwa ninja!"

"I see. I'm still wondering. The promotion standards for Suna Ninja are not too far from those of Konoha. You're pretty good if you can be promoted for meritorious service on the battlefield!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"These are not important!"

Tsunade said casually,

"I can't comment on things in the past because I'm not in the Leaf Village. From now on, I hope that Suna Ninja can fulfill his duty as an ally!"

"That's exactly what we're here for!"

"Well, you go down first. It's not easy to come all the way. Let's take a rest for now! Shizune, take them to the arranged apartment to stay temporarily..."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"

The first time we met, we just got to know each other and had a general impression.

After everyone left, Tsunade took out a large pile of information from the drawer. It was also about six sand ninjas. The level of detail of the information in it was completely different.

It is emphasized that among the people who need to pay attention, the first one is Gaara, who is a one-tail jinchuriki.

Why Konoha Village designated Gaara to come in the "joint training of reserve talents" plan is actually one of the "sincerity" of Sunagakure Village.

For the time being, the tailed beasts in the village are "stored" in Konoha Village to show that Sunagakure Village is really sincere in entering into an alliance with Konoha Village this time.

The second key figure was actually not the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, but this civilian ninja who seemed to have only a little cleverness.

The intelligence showed that some of Daimaru's actions during the Chunin Exam were a bit puzzling, but his overall performance was acceptable.

The most admirable thing is that he has an excellent ability to see things at a subtle level, and he can always find some loopholes that can make a comeback from angles that everyone ignores. Underneath the ruthless and domineering appearance, there is a delicate heart hidden.

At the end of the intelligence, the conclusion reached is only two words: Danger!

Temari and Kankuro are typical Suna Ninja elites. Although Yome and Sen also have great potential, the Suna Ninja are not good at cultivating and utilizing such talents, so there is no need to worry.

"Interesting young people, little guys in the village, don't be compared to me!" 』
