Chapter 140 The Battle of the Sand Sea

Fortress defense is much more complicated than Daimaru imagined.

Especially when the wartime state is activated, it is difficult to sleep peacefully in a short period of time.

The "take turns to rest" commanded by superiors definitely does not mean taking turns to go back to sleep.

Being on guard is no joke. The people on duty were careful not to make any noise. Many people resting around were in light sleep and would wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.

The guy who disturbs people's dreams will bear the resentment of many people.

In the lounge, Yeme and Qian fell asleep leaning on each other.

Daimaru sat cross-legged on the stool, his hands naturally resting on his knees, his head slightly lowered, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he had fallen asleep.

Not far away, Ziluo was quietly replenishing food and drinking water, while Saya and Shanai were whispering.

"Sister, I really didn't lie to you. I was under an illusion that day. I didn't mean to make my sister look embarrassed!"

"Daimaru doesn't know genjutsu!"

"It's hard to explain! He keeps saying that he wants to pursue Temari, and he is not clear with other women. He acts like a playboy..."

"Other women?"

Miss Saya asked,

"I do not know how?"

“Onee-sama is just too naive, don’t be fooled by that stupid appearance of Daimaru.

Think about it, apart from dealing with Kankuro, the people who usually interact with him are all young girls. Doesn't this explain the problem? "

"This doesn't prove that Daimaru has evil intentions towards us, does it? He still owes me a large sum of money and he doesn't dare to offend me!"

"Anyway, sister, be careful and don't let others take advantage of you!"

"I'm not stupid enough for you to worry about!"

Miss Saya said confidently,

"And you, you speak ill of Daimaru in front of me all day long. Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, how could I deceive my sister?"

Shanai was shocked and said with a calm expression on his face.

"Don't mind my business, and don't talk too much at home!"

"yes!"

Shanai reluctantly agreed, glared at Daimaru hatefully, took out a thin quilt from the ceremony, and put it on himself and Saya. Soon, the two fell asleep back to back.

Silently, Ziluo looked at her two teammates and sighed.

Being teammates with people whose status is very different is really a challenging thing.

The two sisters didn't seem to regard Zi Luo as a human being. They often whispered to each other as if no one else was around, completely forgetting about the third person in the team.

Fortunately, Saya is just a young lady without common sense and is not unruly; Shanai only has eyes for his sister Saya and is too lazy to cause trouble for Ziluo.

After arriving at the battlefield, Ziluo unexpectedly discovered that the atmosphere here might be more suitable for her.

"If you have the opportunity, it would be a good choice to be promoted to chuunin as soon as possible and come here to guard the border. 』

Zi Luo, a young martial artist with a weak sense of presence, silently set a modest goal for himself.

…

In the silent night, the howling of wolves in the distance can be heard from time to time, dotting the desolate desert night.

In the dimly lit lounge, Daimaru suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the corner of the northern fortress.

"Again? It's really endless!"

No wonder Fuyi's leadership also needs to seek support. There are too few ninjas guarding the northern fortress. The Iwa ninjas can use the enemy's exhaustion tactics to make the Sand ninjas run for their lives.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside, and the Jounin Gravel, who had spoken to Daimaru for a few words, walked in.

"Saya, Shana, Zi Luo, Endless, Sha Chen and Mo Chen, support the third tower in the northeast corner; Daimaru, Yami, Qian, were temporarily recruited under my command and attacked immediately..."

The originally quiet lounge suddenly became noisy.

Jonin and chuunin came one after another to announce orders, and the place where they lay down suddenly became empty.

In the night wind, Qian, Yeme and Daimaru silently took out their goggles and put them on themselves.

The three of them followed the gravel slowly.

"Senior, what are we going to do?"

Daimaru asked while observing the movement around him.

"The Ariwa ninja has broken through the defenses and must be captured or killed to prevent it from disturbing the supply line."

"Are there many enemies?"

"There are about five or six people, including Jonin..."

The gravel that said turned around and comforted,

"Don't worry, there is still a Jonin scroll leading Temari, Gaara and Kankuro from another direction!"

"That is not bad!"

Gravel was a young jonin who was less than twenty-five years old and not very experienced. Daimaru was afraid that he was young and energetic, so he led three genin and attacked recklessly.

"It's going to be dawn soon, I'll need your investigative abilities later!"

"clear!"

There is an uninhabited desert near the northern fortress. Finding a few hidden ninjas is like finding a needle in a haystack. It is too difficult.

It was just a few people crossing the border. In front of a large-scale ninja army, there was no need to make a big fuss because they couldn't afford to make any big waves.

Only at this time, the hidden danger must be removed.

"You guys haven't dealt with Iwa Ninja before, have you? Be careful not to let them form a combined attack, and don't force it when you are weak..."

Fighting alone, Sand Ninja is stronger than Iwa Ninja, but when united as a ninja army to fight, Iwa Ninja can actually gain the upper hand.

Iwa ninjas who are good at jointly performing large-scale earth escape have an advantage on the battlefield.

There is a reason why Iwagakure, which is not much stronger than Sunagakure, has been able to contend with Sunagakure, Konoha and Kumogakure for so many years.

"It's almost here..."

After walking quickly with the three genin for a long time, Sha Gui, who felt that he was almost done, stopped, pointed to the southeast, and said to Yeme,

"Look over there, do you find anything?"

Yemu said with some embarrassment:

"The light is a bit dim, isn't it..."

Daimaru waved his hand:

"let me!"

With that said, the Eye of Sand flew into the sky, and with the blessing of the telescope composed of air lenses, looked in the direction pointed by the gravel.

"About a kilometer away from here, Makijonin, Temari and the others are searching, but they seem to have found nothing..."

"Great, can you send them a signal?"

"Let me try!"

A few minutes later, Temari, who saw Daimaru's shining beam of light reminded her, brought Maki, Kankuro and Gaara to join Suzu and others.

"Did you find anything?"

Sha Gu asked Juan, who was one step ahead.

"He was hiding near here, but he suddenly disappeared! He must have been hiding underground..."

The terrain was similar everywhere, and the traces of Ninjutsu were soon buried by the wind and sand.

"Without the sense of seeing through the sand and soil, there is no way to find it!"

Perspective perception?

It seems that such a thing has never been born in Sand Hidden Village.

"Let me do it!"
