Red sand dust

As one of the popular candidates for the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara's every move attracts attention.

The result was as everyone expected, Gaara won, but what he didn't expect was that the victory would be so difficult.

Someone who is interested can watch the battle between the two through the barrier. Soon, everything that needs to be known will be known.

"It's not that ninjas in aerial combat are great, but that Daimaru is really strong; of course, Gaara is even better!" 』

An average ninja wouldn't even be able to survive Daimaru's first wave of unreasonable mid-air dives and strafes, let alone being thrown down from an altitude of several thousand meters.

If it weren't for the power of Ichibi Shukaku to withstand Daimaru's finishing move, Gaara would have almost capsized.

Although Gaara was caught off guard with an unexpected tactic, being able to catch Gaara's flaws was not something ordinary people could do.

In addition, Gaara's impenetrable defense capabilities and extremely resilient counterattacks also left a deep impression on everyone.

"Shadow" has the strength, everyone knows this, it just depends on the development in the next few months.

Putting down the report in his hand, Fu Yi remained silent. Sha Ru was a little anxious, but didn't know what to say. The female Jounin, who was not good at words, stood aside and waited for Fu Yi's instructions.

As a disciple of the Burning Emissary Ye Cang, he naturally has no dealings with Ma Ji and others. The master who taught and practiced was betrayed by Luo Sha. This is an indelible hatred.

However, Maki, who has a stable nature, has not caused any trouble to Gaara in these years, but rarely interacts with Maki and others, and only maintains a business-like attitude.

As a rare jounin in Sunagakure Village who is proficient in sealing techniques, Maki often appears as a guardian to prevent the one-tail jinchūriki from losing control.

There is no such thing as looking at Gaara in a different light and taking the overall situation into consideration, Maru deserves it.

Over the years, he had received a lot of favors from Fu Yi, and Juan also very much hoped that his respected senior could become Kazekage.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the support for Gaara is not weak. The reason is that since he has been exiled in the northern fortress for so many years and has not appeared in the village, Fuyi's influence is not as good as before. Even after returning for several years Months later, the attempt to recruit old subordinates still has not been completely successful.

“Today’s young people are really amazing!”

Fu Yi said with some admiration. Seniors who have experienced two ninja wars have never seen compatriots with extraordinary talents.

Sunagakure Village has decades of history, and young people like Gaara and Daimaru definitely deserve to be rated as outstanding.

If they could have emerged two years earlier, the village might not have chosen to risk joining the "Konoha Collapse Plan."

"Do you want me to communicate more with Daimaru and get him and the air combat troops to side with us?"

Grit suggested tentatively.

For more than half a year, everyone has noticed Fuyi's regard for Daimaru; Sha Li, who has a good personal relationship with Daimaru, also admires this young junior.

Without Fu Yi's full support, the establishment of the air combat force would not have been so smooth.

"Daimaru is a man who repays his kindness. Because he is young, he is even a little impulsive. He prefers Gaara not because of the close relationship, but for other reasons..."

Fu Yi shook his head and rejected Sha Ru's opinion.

Fuyi, who has seen a lot, is quite proud of his ability to judge people. Most of the young talents he promoted back then have grown into the mainstay of the village.

"Moreover, the key to the problem is not whether Daimaru and the air combat troops support him..."

If you only look at reputation, Fu Yi undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. The support of a newly formed ninja unit will not be the final word.

If the support of ordinary ninjas could allow Fuyi to ascend to the throne, he would not have lost to Rasa in the competition for the Fourth Kazekage.

Gaara and Fuyi each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

"Elder Qianyo's opinion is crucial..."

If there is a candidate that everyone expects, Chiyo probably won't have much trouble; but when no one can overpower the others and rise to the top, the retired seniors are the key.

"As for Gaara, there is no need to question his strength; starting from whether he has the ability to govern as a 'shadow', his past dark history is a weakness that he cannot avoid. Sunagakure Village does not need a notorious Kazekage. …”

Shasha and Juan nodded in agreement with Fu Yi's judgment.

"I'll try my best, but if it doesn't work, I'll just wait for a while and see if anything can turn around..."

What if Gaara makes a big mistake; second-tier candidates like Mask and Ryusea make great achievements; or even young Daimaru's strength increases by leaps and bounds, killing the Iwa nin general Yellow Earth, or killing the village's enemy Orochimaru, and rises to power in one fell swoop. possible.

"Waiting for change?"

Grit couldn't help but murmur to himself, remembering something,

"Daimaru once told me that after the war in the north is over, he hopes to go south to expand the sea territory..."

"Takumi?"

Fu Yi was stunned and asked a little unclearly,

"We are ninjas from the country of wind and sand, and fighting at sea is very disadvantageous..."

In the huge Country of Wind, there are only a few ninjas with water escape talents. The natural environment has sifted to create the current Sand Hidden Village. Ninjas who are proficient in water escape have either done nothing or left the Country of Wind.

"I just mentioned it accidentally when we were chatting. I don't know the details..."

I just mentioned gravel casually, not sure if it would be useful.

"That's it!"

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Yi ordered,

"You should find a chance to talk to Daimaru about what he wants to do. This seemingly carefree young man has a lot of ideas in his mind, so it doesn't hurt to listen!"

…

Daimaru and Gaara returned to the northern fortress and were seen by many people.

The puppet ghost that has now become Daimaru's signature was discovered by the garrisoned ninjas as soon as it appeared.

When the two people who were obviously injured appeared, some people wondered whether they had encountered a strong enemy.

In the hospital at the center of the fortress, Gaara looked even more embarrassed. His injuries seemed serious, but they were not dangerous. The injured organs needed more time to recover.

Although it looks like a big pill with energy, the sand that has not been cleaned from the body needs to be removed. Some even require surgery to incise the skin and clean the muscles and bones to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

Fortunately, Daimaru now has Amano under his command. The medical water escape and water mosquito technique he is good at is a very good detoxification technique. Of course, it is also easy to remove the fine sand from the injured area.

However, when Yuno performed the treatment, it was really painful.

Daimaru couldn't help but grinned and gasped. After tying the bandage, he walked out wearing a loose and comfortable robe instead of a jounin vest.

In such hot weather, Iwa Ninja didn't want to go south to fight.

If there is no accident, no one should disturb his practice within a few months.
