Red sand dust

"Confused? I thought you wouldn't have any bad emotions in your stubborn mind?"

Temari glanced at Daimaru, who was busy and seemed to be talking to himself.

"No matter what, you can never go wrong by doing what you want to do most at the moment..."

"I'm not complaining, I'm just sighing when I have nothing to do..."

Daimaru shrugged easily.

This thing is probably like playing a game of killing monsters and upgrading. If you accidentally level up too high, you need to change the map to kill monsters with higher experience, and push stronger BOSS to get more powerful equipment. Unfortunately, there is still time for version updates. I haven’t arrived yet, I don’t have a specific goal, and I seem a bit at a loss.

If in the past, he wanted to become stronger, make money, and defeat all his love rivals, including Nara Shikamaru, now what he can think about is probably how to help Gaara survive the disaster of the tailed beast being separated.

As for the higher goals, the Rinnegan Nagato, the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, etc. can only be regarded as imaginary enemies. Even if they can't be defeated, it doesn't matter. They just need to protect the Sunagakure Village. The mastermind behind the scenes still has to be dealt with by the Children of Destiny and the partners of justice. , Daimaru doesn’t mind being a backdrop.

"There are spiritual matters on the one hand, and there are also daily troubles. When I think of many people living directly or indirectly dependent on themselves, a lazy person like me feels uncomfortable for a while, and this pile of things will appear from time to time. The idea of ​​being the pick of the sons, being expected by others, is actually quite heavy..."

"Are you afraid that you won't do well..."

Temari was silent for a while and whispered,

"Didn't you say that there is no conflict between realizing one's ideals and achieving one's own achievements?"

Speaking of the past, Daimaru couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's true that there is no conflict, but now I find that I am still too arrogant, thinking that while achieving my personal goals, I can turn myself into a respected hero by the way. But how can this be done lightly? Everything you do needs to go all out, or even a lifetime of hard work to succeed..."

"You have so many stinky problems!"

Temari clapped her fingers and teased with a half-smile,

"I am arrogant from time to time, want to give in when something goes wrong, have a short temper and have no patience, my hands-on instinct is faster than my brain, I am rampant when I succeed, I am not only poor but also in debt, I am not handsome and I like to tease young girls... In addition to being able to Apart from this one advantage that I have maintained very well since childhood, it is also my thick skin that can make people look at me!"

"hey-hey……"

After some scolding, Daimaru couldn't help but grin.

"It still has advantages, it's not all bad..."

"I'm not praising you, I just want to say that you probably really lack friends who can talk to you. Whether it's Toki Toki or Kankuro, although they are also your friends, they are not confidants who can exchange secrets. There are Whatever it is, it’s better not to worry alone..."

"Your demands are too high. I'm not weak enough to need comfort..."

Daimaru said with a smile,

"I've always been so impatient. I always do things in a hurry. That's just my true nature!"

"It's up to you! I guess you also think that we can't help, so you don't want to share it with us, but..."

Turning her head and looking at Daimaru's profile seriously, Temari said,

"Although I don't know what happened specifically, you are really working hard for the village and for your compatriots to live a better life... don't hate it!"

"Uh-huh?"

Daimaru, who was looking for clues to the Jinchuuriki through his telescopic eyes, kept saying this. He suddenly realized that Temari actually commented on him like this, and couldn't help but be startled.

"This... is really a good compliment. I accept it!"

After finishing speaking, Daimaru looked down at a huge chakra source that was moving quickly along the border between the Country of Rain and the Country of Grass, towards the Country of Taki and the Country of Fields.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back. The person has been found!"

"Want me to help?"

Temari reached out and touched the three-star fan placed on the side.

Although Temari, who had just been promoted to Jonin, had limited help whether she was fighting Ohnoki or a Jinchūriki, her desire for a helping hand never fell behind.

"No, just watch what's going on below and let me know if anyone comes near. If it doesn't go your way, just leave..."

"and you……"

Daimaru waved his hand confidently:

"He's just a Jinchuuriki. He's a lot older. He's no match for me. Even if he can't beat me, he can't stop me..."

As he spoke, Daimaru controlled the puppet ghost to hover above. Several puppets appeared and surrounded Daimaru, sensing and absorbing natural energy.

Knowing that now was not the time to interrupt, Temari quietly watched Daimaru sitting upright, the aura in his body becoming more and more powerful. After ten minutes, the chakra in his body was condensed, and Daimaru with a faint golden glow on his body dodged and walked towards Go below.

Where Daimaru originally controlled the puppet and ghost, a petite puppet appeared, taking control of Daimaru and wandering in the sky.

Temari wanted to say something, but she stared at the puppet that looked almost exactly like her, but she didn't know where to start. She felt that it was really not worth getting angry with the puppet.

The petite doll turned its head thoughtfully and looked at Temari, who was several sizes older than herself, with a puzzled look on her face.

Staring at the small eyes for a long time, Temari couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched the somewhat confused head of the doll.

"You idiot, why are you so realistic when you have nothing to do..."

At the same time, Lao Zi, who drank the last sip of wine in the wine gourd, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and the big pill falling from the sky fell into his eyes.

"who is it?"

Lao Zi, who stood up suddenly and took a defensive posture, turned over and stepped back more than ten meters. He watched Daimaru fall to nearly a hundred meters from the ground, then opened his light blue chakra wings, and then slowly landed on the ground.

"This is the first time we meet. I am Sand Ninja Daimaru. Maybe you have heard of my name, but that is not important. I am the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village, Lao Murasaki. I am here specifically to find you..."

Daimaru bowed kindly, and then expressed his intention directly.

"Suna Ninja? Are you looking for something cheap because I'm alone? You're looking for the wrong person..."

"Whatever you think, I just hope you give up resistance and go to Sand Hidden Village..."

"Kidnapping a Jinchuuriki? What a shameless statement..."

Lao Zi formed a seal with his hands, gathered chakra, and the red lava began to wrap around his body.

"Want to embarrass that stubborn old man, or extort ransom?"

Even if you get something like a tailed beast, you won't be able to keep it unless the five major ninja villages recognize it and the balance of combat power in the ninja world is not disrupted. In the end, you will most likely redeem it with money or resources.

Of course, this is a general situation, and it would be another matter during special periods.
