Chapter 149 Unexpected by-products

Watching Kankuro leave with an ugly expression as if he had eaten a fly, Daimaru curled his lips.

『How can I, Uncle Red Sand Dust, be something you guys can guess? 』

There have been too many things going on recently. It is very stressful to complete the offensive and defensive tasks of the northern fortress. Some relatively unimportant things have to be chosen.

These days, the number of times she even pretends to be a coincidence in front of Temari is much less, and the mood of her teammates is naturally ignored a lot.

Of course, this is no big deal.

To say that the collapse of Idu's clone in the body still had a slight impact on his own spirit. Some negative emotions such as anxiety, fear and hatred were obviously much more active.

Not only that, but I can also feel it to a certain extent from people nearby who have a similar mentality.

When someone has ill intentions towards you, your intuition seems to be much sharper.

The response to the surge in mental power in terms of chakra volume is not particularly obvious, but the close range perception has improved a lot.

This change can be good or bad, but as long as you get used to it for a while, you should be fine.

Just after Daimaru sent Kankuro away, Daimaru manipulated the star puppet strings and gathered them in the palm of his hand. A ball of purple-black light flashed from time to time in the sun.

"Escape!"

Daimaru muttered to himself.

This escape technique, which is inseparable from most illusions, is really too difficult.

The Nara family uses shadows to project the power of Yinfu, while Daimaru uses star puppet strings.

There is no essential difference between the two.

The shadow secret technique has been passed down for several generations and has already become quite mature; while Daimaru's Star Puppet Line has just started, and even the nature of the Yin Escape Chakra is not clear.

So far, Daimaru realizes that he has not fully exerted the power of the secret technique of Star Puppet Thread.

Relying only on strong mental power is a very dangerous and reckless behavior.

When facing some chuunin and genin, the risk is still controllable, but if they are stronger, it will be difficult to say.

If you want to understand the nature of Yin Escape's power and practice methods, it is also a good way to learn illusion and realize it on your own.

But this is too slow.

If it were ten years ago... no, even five years ago, Daimaru would have learned one or two genjutsu and slowly figured out the power of Yin Escape.

But in three or four years, the Fourth Ninja War is coming, and it will obviously be too late to learn genjutsu again.

Of all the ways to enhance strength, Daimaru can only choose the one that is quick for quick success.

Sage mode is good, but it turns out that Daimaru is not that good. His contact with Uchiha Sasuke has made it very clear that he can't even withstand the degraded version of Sage mode - the cursed seal chakra, so don't expect anything else.

"Wind escape, puppet technique, star puppet string, and sand manipulation ninjutsu, you can't count on anything else!" 』

Not only that, powerful techniques must be supported by a huge amount of chakra.

No matter how you think about it, the greatest source of chakra in the ninja world is natural energy.

Even after a tailed beast consumes chakra, it recovers by absorbing the natural energy in the air.

The tailed beast chakra invoked by the jinchuriki is actually the natural energy that has passed through a hand.

"Natural energy is everywhere, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, but I can't use it!" 』

You must think of a way to use natural energy safely, otherwise, all the good ideas will be empty talk.

"What a headache!"

Daimaru dispersed the star puppet string in his hand, spread his legs, and sat on the eaves of the roof in a very inconspicuous manner, looking at the increasingly dazzling morning sun with annoyance.

"Are you worried? Young man..."

From behind, a deep voice came.

"Lord Fuyi!"

Daimaru stood up quickly,

"I didn't know you were here..."

"This is where I often watch the sunrise..."

"Sorry, I didn't know..."

Sure enough, all the good places that look very suitable for viewing the scenery have long been targeted by interested people.

"After a sleepless night, watching the sun rise refreshes me..."

Fu Yi put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the sun hanging on the top of the mountains.

"A young man like you should be full of energy. Why are you so decadent?"

"I just came back from a mission, and I didn't have any rest all night; plus I encountered some difficult problems in my practice!"

"Practice? Genin should seek advice from seniors and not be proud of past achievements..."

"Thank you for your teaching!"

"Um!"

Fu Yi still has a high tolerance for young people who can recognize their mistakes and correct them.

"Tell me what's the problem! I just have time..."

"I wanted a way to use natural energy..."

"Natural energy?"

Fu Yi's face stiffened.

"What a lofty goal! However, if you know the word natural energy, you have some skills. You shouldn't be able to sense natural energy now..."

Only by maximizing a certain aspect of escape technique can one vaguely sense the vast energy in nature.

It's one thing to know, but even more difficult to exploit.

"I made you laugh!"

Daimaru said awkwardly.

It is true that Daimaru currently cannot sense natural energy. He can only occasionally feel the indirect impact of natural energy in the air when performing ninjutsu.

For example, when using a polarized killing array, the light flow always deviates slightly from what is expected and is completely uncontrollable.

At first Daimaru thought it was a mistake in his calculations, but later he learned that similar things would still happen even in a completely unaffected vacuum black box.

After eliminating all possibilities, only natural energy that is completely beyond Daimaru's perception may be the cause of this phenomenon.

"I don't know how to use natural energy. If you can find it, you will become the hero of Sunagakure Village surpassing the second generation Kazekage Samana."

As Fu Yi spoke, he seemed to recall some past events, and then said to Daimaru,

"The second generation of the Kazekage, Samana, once wanted to find the answer in Shukaku, but failed, but the branch of sand ninjutsu was born.

The second attempt was puppetry.

Today's Sand Ninjas basically don't know. The Nidaime's original puppet idea was to find a substitute for the human body that could not withstand natural energy. In the end, nothing was found. Instead, it was a by-product that gave rise to the current puppet technique... …”

"It turns out there is such a story!"

Daimaru couldn't help laughing.

"This is probably the realistic version of the ninja world where "scientific discoveries are all from accidents"! 』

"I say this to let you know how difficult this matter is! Now, you should wait until you are promoted to Jonin and there is no way ahead before you think about these things!"

Among the next generation of Suna ninjas, there are only a few that can be seen. In addition to the three children of Rasa, who displeased Fu Yi, the "genius" Daimaru, who was born in a commoner family and has a clean net worth, may be a member of Sunagakure Village. One of the mainstays of the future.

Such a talent deserves a few words from Fu Yi despite his busy schedule.

"Thank you sir, I understand!"

"Strong reinforcements will arrive tomorrow night at the latest. If you hold on for a while, you can rest!"

After saying that, Fu Yi, who seemed to have lost interest, turned and left.

It wasn't until he felt that the big boss of the northern fortress was really gone that Daimaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said! The mental pressure of being in front of such a strong person is too great."

As for some unknown information revealed by Fuyi, Daimaru also kept it in mind.

"How about sand ninjutsu and puppetry? You really need to study it carefully if you have time!" 』

Of course, there is another technique that Daimaru can look forward to.

"Yama no Jutsu!" 』

Orochimaru, who also failed to learn the Sage Mode, regarded this technique as his most important trump card after the Reincarnation of the Earth. It was definitely quite powerful, but before it showed its power, it was sealed by Uchiha Itachi's Ten Fist Sword.

If Daimaru could figure out a similar practice method, it would be no problem to use natural energy.

In fact, the conditions are there. Ido's instinct of gnawing at the spirit and strengthening himself is very useful. Unfortunately, there is currently no target for Daimaru to test.

Putting aside these messy thoughts for the time being, Daimaru jumped off the roof, wiped the dust off his body, and rushed to the agreed place. By this time, the other party had already arrived.

"Miss Shaye, there is no need to be so aggressive in collecting debts. The time has not come yet, right?"

Today is the day when Daimaru pays off his debt again. The subsidy that was just issued not long ago is about to disappear before it can be warmed up, which makes Daiwan couldn't help but feel sad.

Daimaru carefully counted the banknotes several times, but Saya grabbed them in his hand and put them into his pocket without even counting them.

The money has been taken away, and Daimaru wants to get close to Miss Saya, hoping that she can forgive the debt for a while, but Miss Saya suddenly bites off a strand of Daimaru's hair with a puppet.

"What are you doing?"

Daimaru's expression changed.

There are high walls around here. It used to be used as a temporary warehouse for dumping waste, and almost no one came here.

Miss Saya specially invited Daimaru to this place. Did she really have any bad intentions?

"Don't move, idiot! Have you been controlled by someone using spiritual magic?"

"how do you know?"

"I've seen a guy like you do whatever you want because of your strong mental power. I've seen more than one or two of them, and they all ended badly..."

Miss Saya made a hand seal and pointed it at Daimaru's eyes.

"The fluctuations of mental power scattered all over your body are so chaotic. Aren't you afraid of becoming a madman?"

If he hadn't met a colleague who was proficient in spiritual arts, he wouldn't have discovered anything wrong with Daimaru.

"Let me see what the devil is pretending to be!"

Miss Saya said, using the puppet imitation technique.

Daimaru, who was about to say something else, suddenly stood there and lost consciousness.

At the same time, Miss Saya, who invaded Daimaru's mind with her mental power, saw a very abnormal scene...
