Chapter 173 Bearing the Humiliation and Bearing the Burden
Working hard to improve his strength took up a lot of Daimaru's energy, and Temari was an object that Daimaru needed to be on guard at all times and should not be ignored.
"Gaara, I think it would be more reliable for you to become the Kazekage as soon as possible, and then promote me to be a Jonin!"
If my brother-in-law becomes the village chief, what if he doesn't promote a few close associates?
As a brother-in-law, Daimaru worked hard without complaining, and had the merits of being protected and supported by the sky. Wasn't his status as a jounin a matter of course?
"no!"
Gaara refused bluntly.
"Why?"
"There is no such tradition!"
Back then, Rasa's brother-in-law, Yashamaru, didn't receive much care, but Gaara saw it all.
The phenomenon of cliques in Sunagakure Village is very serious, but the cases of nepotism are really not that many.
All right!
Daimaru gave up the idea of going through the back door of his brother-in-law.
At this time, Gaara looked so serious that he probably couldn't realize how much of Daimaru's words were sincere and how much was a joke.
"mean!"
Daimaru stood up and left sadly.
"I'm a little tired, let's go back to bed!"
Looking at the muttering Daimaru leaving, Gaara murmured to himself:
"Angry? Why?"
…
Early the next morning, before anyone else in Sunagakure Village woke up, Daimaru went out early. After breakfast, he came to the Hokage's house in a leisurely manner. Tsunade had already started working.
This elderly woman not only looks young in appearance, she is actually quite energetic. She was busy until very late yesterday, but she came to handle official duties early in the morning today.
Although the fifth generation Hokage, who loved drinking and gambling, was often seen being lazy, he was actually a diligent leader who handled affairs in an orderly manner.
At least during this period of time, Daimaru has not seen any chaos in Konoha Village. Among them, Tsunade's efforts cannot be ignored.
"I've kept you waiting for so long!"
"The time is just right!"
Tsunade put down the documents in her hand, took a sip of tea to refresh herself, and then said to Daimaru,
"Yesterday, the Sand Ninja's report mentioned puppets with infinite chakra and immortality! How did you come up with the idea of using seals to deal with them?"
"Besides this, we have no other choice! We have tried everything that can work..."
"That's it. Fortunately, these puppets are not strong, so you have enough room to try!"
Tsunade nodded.
Tsunade felt a little regretful when she thought that the third generation old man had to use the corpse sealing technique because of Orochimaru's foul earth reincarnation, and that the first and second generation's foul earth bodies died together.
If the old man refuses to admit defeat, he will encounter unexpected events sooner or later. If he gives up his position to the young man earlier, the result may be completely different.
Putting aside these thoughts, Tsunade flipped through the mission information and said seriously:
"Although Uchiha Sasuke has not been recovered, the mission I gave you was just to provide support. The corpses of several sound ninjas and the sealed 'immortal puppets' have proven your efforts. Shikamaru and the others failed in their mission because of themselves. The lack of strength has nothing to do with the Sand Ninja, so..."
Tsunade paused, looked at Daimaru and said,
"We will regard Suna Ninja as completing an A-level mission for Konoha Village and pay corresponding remuneration. Do you have any objections?"
"So good!"
Although Daimaru had expected to receive some compensation, getting a large amount of money was an unexpected surprise.
The rewards for A-level missions are already very generous.
As usual, the captain Daimaru gets the largest share, and the rest is divided equally among the other five.
Moreover, because this was a task that had nothing to do with Sunagakure Village, there was no commission. After all, Daimaru could be considered a small fortune, enough to squander for a while.
"It's fine if you don't have any objections! Also, how do you feel about the plan of 'jointly cultivating future generations of talents'?"
Daimaru thought for a moment and then replied:
"I personally like this kind of 'communication', but..."
"What, but it doesn't matter..."
"The reality in Sand Hidden Village is probably difficult to support a huge education system like Konoha Village..."
After all, it’s all about money.
Of course, Tsunade also knew that if the Suna Ninja really had a way to train ninjas on a large scale so efficiently, she might be restless.
"Tsunade-sama, I am a humble person and don't have much say in such a big matter! However, if possible, can Konoha Village also send some people to Sunagakure Village to have a look?
As for 'exchange', Suna Ninja is always here to 'visit and study', which seems a bit uninteresting. If Konohagakure can help guide us to improve the teaching level of the ninja school, wouldn't it be able to enhance the friendship between the two villages? "
There is no hope for this generation of people with stupid brains. The next generation of Suna ninjas and Konoha ninjas may have more interactions with each other, and maybe they can really enhance the relationship between the two villages.
Although there is no immediate effect, if you don’t sow the seeds now, how can you harvest sweet fruits in the future?
"This is a good idea, I will consider it!"
After Tsunade thought for a moment, she could understand the meaning of Daimaru's words.
However, Konoha Village really can't spare anyone right now, and all the ninjas are spinning around, otherwise they wouldn't have sent such a pursuit team to take risks.
"Next week, the first part of the covenant, the 'exchange' agreement, will be completed. You can now notify Sunagakure Village to pick up people..."
"Thank you for the reminder, we can go back by ourselves then..."
Tsunade frowned:
"I say that, of course there is a reason! One-Tail Jinchuuriki - Gaara is in danger now... Jinchuuriki, you know what it is, right?"
"clear!"
Daimaru nodded.
On the contrary, Tsunade looked at Daimaru in surprise:
"You know so much! In short, the jinchūriki need to be properly arranged to avoid leaving opportunities for others to take advantage of!"
"Okay, I will arrange it..."
It must have been Uzumaki Naruto's distress that made Tsunade worried about Gaara, who was also a jinchuriki!
Daimaru couldn't tell Tsunade that because of an accident, it took more than three years for the "Akatsuki" organization to fully launch the tailed beast capture plan.
Moreover, it would also be a good thing for the village to send a team of people to escort them.
It is natural to work alone and do things silently. Building momentum can also have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
"That's it for today. I'll ask Shizune to inform you if anything happens!"
"Sorry for your trouble!"
Daimaru said as he stood up and left.
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw the Hokage's secretary who was belatedly arriving with dark circles under his eyes.
"Being a medical ninja is also a hard job! 』
Daimaru said hello to Shizune who passed by, then returned to the apartment and asked Temari to use the psychic beast to convey Tsunade's meaning to the village.
"To put it more seriously, call on a few more good players. The more people you have, the stronger your momentum will be..."
Daimaru warned,
"We are heroes who have to bear the humiliation for the sake of the village. We want to go home in glory!"
