Red sand dust

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi are floating on the sea as they head towards the southern stronghold. In the northern fortress, the Nekaze team, which has returned safely, is still resting. Rumors about Chunin Daimaru defeating Orochimaru and defeating Yakushi Kabuto have already spread. .

Don't think that Suna Ninja, who is not living a happy life, doesn't like to spread gossip. The more difficult his material life is, the more he needs spiritual food to relieve his mental fatigue.

I just did a little push, but I didn't expect that all kinds of weird and weird versions would spread on their own, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they were. Even Daimaru, who was always shameless, felt a little embarrassed after hearing it.

No matter what, Daimaru became famous again.

This time it's not a gossip, it can be regarded as building up a lot of momentum for Daimaru.

Unknowingly, the boy, who didn't have many friends, saw many more people greeting him familiarly while walking on the street.

"Being a celebrity is so tiring!"

After lunch, during a break before going on duty, Daimaru lazily found a spacious place by the city wall to bask in the sun.

It’s a rare windless winter day, so everyone can’t help but come out for some air.

"Isn't this what you need?"

Nighteye said teasingly.

In order to be promoted to Jonin as soon as possible, Daimaru needs to make a name for himself and will spare no effort to promote himself whenever he gets the chance.

"I blew it big this time!"

"It seems that although you are thick-skinned, you are still a little ashamed. You know that you are not worthy of the praise you are receiving!"

"Don't you deserve it? Just try your best to become worthy in the future. Otherwise, it will be really bad if you become a laughing stock..."

Daimaru glanced at Nighteye who was holding back a smirk,

"On your side, as Teammate A of Lord 'Red Sand Dust', you are somewhat famous. If your strength cannot keep up in the future, there may be some unspeakable scenes..."

"Who is your teammate A? A diligent ninja like me would not be as afraid as you of the day when your reputation is blown..."

Yami retorted angrily.

"That's right. Judging from your size, others probably don't expect much from you, so it's not a disappointment. You are indeed a safe and reliable height..."

"It's not the 'safe height' you mentioned. I've also grown taller this year..."

Although it is only two centimeters, it is still a very impressive growth rate.

"Yeah, that's really congratulations! It's my fault that I didn't see it at all..."

Daimaru pressed the top of Yame's head. Apart from the fluffy twintails being longer than before, he really couldn't feel any changes during this period.

Nighteye pushed away Daimaru's frivolous hand and said aggressively:

"Don't underestimate me. When this year is over, I will cut a few sets of clothes that fit better. I must let you understand that it's not that I don't grow taller, it's just that I'm still young..."

After saying that, Yemu turned around and left angrily, probably going to secretly do stretching training again.

Qian Qian calmly watched his friends leave, and then whispered:

"Can't you stop teasing her? Yemu hates it when others talk about her height..."

"If she doesn't mind, what's the point? I'm too lazy to say it! I'm not a good person..."

Daimaru said nonchalantly,

"Supervise her to eat more nutritious meals and exercise frequently. If she grows taller in the future, she might even thank me..."

"Most people really can't keep up with your inexplicable ideas."

Qian sighed. Even though they had known each other for almost a year, as a companion, they often couldn't keep up with Daimaru's out-of-the-box thinking.

"Imagination is very important, especially for genjutsu ninjas. You should know better than me!"

Why do you play illusions if your brain is not working well? If you can't scare the enemy, don't stun yourself.

"Your reasons are always more convincing than others, and no one else can argue with you. You are really amazing!"

"How can I be convincing?"

Daimaru smiled and said,

"Because I'm stronger than you, it always makes sense. Look at Captain Yinfeng, when have you ever been fooled by me?"

"I have been in a team with you for less than a year, and I feel as innocent as an ignorant little girl..."

It used to be simple, just thinking about improving my strength, joining a stable team, and doing tasks well. Now I know more and have more worries.

"Stop talking about this! About the painting you gave me..."

Chi took out the canvas that he had carried with him for a long time,

"With my strength, it is still too reluctant to come into contact with this..."

"Don't you see anything?"

Daimaru felt a little regretful. The feeling of holding a good thing in your hand but not knowing how to use it was really not a good feeling.

Qian shook his head and replied:

"This thing is actually not for looking at, it has to be experienced with your heart..."

"I've tried it before, but it didn't work..."

At first, Daimaru also tried to use his mental power to sense it, trying to find out if there were any secrets hidden in it, but he got nothing.

"Probably what conditions need to be met to trigger it!"

If you can study anything from this painting, it should be a good opportunity to improve your strength.

"Maybe you are not inferior to me in the first place! I will give it back to you..."

"Don't you want to continue studying it? Don't worry!"

Daimaru said as he took out another portrait from his arms,

"Actually, when I have free time, I also wonder if I can try my luck and keep it with me..."

The two portraits are placed side by side. Except for the slight change in Daimaru's appearance, the surrounding scenery, light and shadow changes are also slightly different!

"I always feel a little strange..."

It's not obvious when it's a single painting. When comparing the two portraits, I seem to notice something in my heart, but I don't know where this strange feeling comes from.

Qian tilted his head and squinted his eyes to carefully look at these two pictures that were a little too real.

"Did you find anything?"

"No!"

Qian gently rubbed the surface of the canvas with his fingers.

"There are definitely secrets in these two paintings, but it is too difficult to get any results by simply studying the paintings..."

"Then what else can we do? We can't just ask Kurama Yakumo directly..."

"Our thinking may have gone astray..."

Qian pointed to the portrait at hand,

"You should think carefully about why Kurama Yakumo gave you these two paintings. The reason should be the key to unlocking the secret..."

What is certain is that these two paintings are the product of Yin Escape. The power of creating shapes out of nothingness is something that ordinary illusions can never do.

The Kurama family's blood inheritance limit is very powerful. The five senses of magic and terrifying environment are only one aspect of its ability. The real life of illusion is the characteristic that best reflects the essence of Yin Escape.

What does creating two paintings count? If Kurama Yakumo is strong enough, it will not be a problem to create a realistic world according to the appearance in the painting.
