Red sand dust

In the ninja school not far from the Kazekage's home, the indoor arena is being surrounded by several members of the Shadow Guard wearing black trench coats, and no outsiders are allowed in or out for the time being.

It was getting windy and sandy outside, but it seemed a little noisy inside.

Kankuro stood by the door, guarding the exit, while Gaara watched from close range the Taijutsu teacher he hired, Murasaki and Daimaru, fighting back and forth.

In terms of strength alone, Daimaru is definitely far beyond it, but this is not a normal sparring, it is just physical training, relying on the body's strength and reaction ability, at most adding chakra amplification and combat experience, pure unarmed fighting, Ziluo's level is indeed better than People are amazed.

After many promotions and experience gained from fighting with strong men, Daimaru's basic quality is much better than when Zi Luo didn't activate the "Seven-day Breathing Technique". However, in the collision of fists and kicks, he still fell slightly behind. Downwind.

A few minutes later, Daimaru flew down with a splitting palm, but was blocked by Zi Luo with his arms crossed. In return, Daimaru's whip kick quickly struck, making Daimaru's wrist feel numb as he blocked it.

Zi Luo exerted force from the bottom up, and used the old Daimaru to fly into the air involuntarily. Then she bent her legs slightly, and then suddenly exerted force and kicked hard, straight into Daimaru's chest and abdomen, and Daimaru's center of gravity was unstable. He only had time to close his arms in front of his chest to protect his vitals.

Snapped……

Under the impact of the force, Daimaru took advantage of the force to fly back, landed on the ground after a backflip, and slid back several meters. His feet rubbed two marks on the ground.

When Daimaru raised his head, he saw Ziluo retracting her legs and assuming a standard defensive posture, waiting for Daimaru to continue attacking.

"With a watertight defense and just relying on physical skills, it's not easy to defeat you! Sure enough, a ninja like me who is not good at physical skills is still a little behind in front of a professional master..."

If the fight continues, Daimaru can still win, but it won't be a technical victory, but because of the huge advantage of chakra and physical recovery ability, the opponent will be completely unable to use it up.

Seeing that Daimaru gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight, Ziluo also stood up straight and said with some respect:

"You're welcome. I've been practicing physical skills for more than ten years, but I don't dare to say I have an advantage..."

"Who hasn't worked hard for more than ten years? It's just that my talent is a little different from yours!"

Daimaru patted the dust on his body, stepped forward, and lightly hit his shoulder with his fist.

"What a strong guy. With the blessing of the 'Seven-day Breathing Technique', he can probably compete with a jounin a few times..."

Daimaru turned to Gaara and asked,

"Why hasn't such a guy been promoted to chuunin? The talents of our Sunagakure Village are already so rich?"

The corner of Gaara's mouth twitched a few times, and he was having a headache because of Daimaru's uprightness. Such a question should be discussed in private. With such a direct question, where would the current Kazekage's face be put?

"The Joint Chuunin Examination is in the middle of the year. We need to save a few seeds and perform well..."

"Understood!"

Daimaru said suddenly, stroking his palms,

"Leave a few masters behind and let other ninja villages see them. Don't lose too badly. I understand!"

In the alliance between Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village, there are rules regarding the Chunin Examination. If all decent and powerful genin are promoted to Chunin, the joint Chunin Examination can only send mediocre people who will be beaten by ninjas from other villages. , that’s too embarrassing.

In Sunagakure Village, most of the Suna ninjas who had more contact with Daimaru were much stronger than they remembered at the same time. Murasaki, who was already very talented in Taijutsu, had gone through the baptism of the Chunin Exams the year before last and had seen so many different styles. The ninja also had a big fight with the genius of Konoha Village Hyuga Neji, and gained a lot of experience. He was much stronger than the second joint chuunin exam in the original work.

The collision of hard work behind closed doors and discussions and exchanges resulted in completely different results.

Daimaru and Gaara's teasing words made everyone present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Fortunately, there were no outsiders. Except for the Shadow Guards, only the Taijutsu teacher Zi Luo heard it clearly.

After saying hello to Daimaru and then saluting Gaara, Ziara ended today's teaching and left.

"You guys, can't you save some face in front of outsiders? You say everything..."

When only Daimaru and the Kazekage Godaime brothers were present, Kankuro couldn't help but complain,

"Suppress the level and do well in the Joint Chuunin Exam. Everyone is doing this, so what can we do?"

"I didn't say no!"

Daimaru shrugged and responded nonchalantly,

"Now I am not strong enough, my skills are not as good as others, and no one cares about any innocuous little moves. In the future, if I have more confidence, I won't have to do this anymore. If I have a deep foundation, I won't have to look at other people's faces..."

Although the village has improved now, the Suna ninjas still have the family spirit they developed when they were poor.

Seeing that several young genin in Konoha Village who were comparable in combat power to Jonin were still making a presence felt in the Chuunin exams, Suna Ninja wanted to imitate them, but he didn't pay attention to the fact that Konoha Village was so powerful. Follow the rules and strictly implement them, so there is no promotion. The tradition of Sand Ninja is completely artificial arrangement. There are channels for special promotion, but they deliberately fail to implement it.

"As long as you understand, there are some things that I can't do anything about..."

How to preserve the face of Sunagakure Village, in addition to performance on the battlefield, the Chunin Examination in public is also a top priority.

"In this case……"

Daimaru tilted his head and thought for a while before saying,

"How about the air combat force also sends two teams to take the chunin exam..."

"Isn't this bullying?"

Seeing how lightly Daimaru spoke, Kankuro couldn't help but spit.

At the genin level, if you can fly, you will know how much advantage it will have in the chuunin exam.

This is not a competition at the same level at all, it is really bullying.

"There are also flying ninjas in Konoha Village. Maybe they will also take the chuunin exam. As for other ninja villages, if they don't have the ability to study on their own and don't have the money to buy services, they will consider themselves unlucky..."

"Let's discuss it again, there are still a few months, we will talk about it then..."

Gaara stopped Daimaru and Kankuro's argument,

"Let's talk about the Five Shadows Conference first..."

As Daimaru expected, this Five Kage Conference is still arranged in the neutral Iron Kingdom. It is hosted by samurai who are not weak but have nothing to do with the major ninja villages. Although they cannot maintain absolute fairness, they are at least relatively safe. deliberative environment.

"According to the current resolution, each of the five shadows will bring a guard to the Iron Kingdom to attend the meeting..."

In previous Five Shadow Conferences, one or two guards were allowed to be brought, and this time there was nothing special.

The tenth day of the first lunar month is the date of the Five Kage Conference. Time is very tight. The farthest soil shadow and the water shadow coming across the sea should have already set off. Although Sunagakure Village is not close, it has Daimaru's super speed. Late It doesn't matter how many days it takes.
