Chapter 223 Subtle

Daimaru was a little nervous at first, wary of Kakuzu and Hidan sneaking in to chase him again. After a while, Daimaru didn't see the enemy, and he finally felt relieved.

"So, our mission is not a complete failure..."

Daimaru explained patiently,

"The task that Yeme, Qian and I received is to assist the Konoha ninjas and protect the Amegakure Kingdom lineage from being wiped out. Although all the Konoha ninjas are dead, there are indeed survivors in the Amegakure Country."

"You are making excuses. Will the village accept your explanation?"

Temari was a little worried. She was already tired of competing with the genin for low-level missions near the village. She finally received a mission to leave the village and failed.

Gaara aspires to be the Kazekage Fifth Generation, and Temari and Kankuro are eager to be promoted to chuunin. The impact of a failed mission is still relatively large.

Daimaru smiled and replied:

"We don't care what some people in the village think. As long as we give a reasonable explanation, there will naturally be opponents on our side. This is the good thing about the ninja village that is constantly fighting among itself. As long as things get big, get If we discuss it openly, there will always be two opposing parties arguing..."

At that time, whether this mission is considered a success or a failure will still have to be debated.

Yemu and Qian looked at Daimaru who was talking strangely:

"You've been frowning for a long time just thinking about these things?"

"Not entirely!"

Daimaru replied,

"Failing a mission will have little impact on my promotion to Jonin. As long as I kill a few more Iwa ninjas, no one will care about this. But for you, it will have a greater impact..."

This visit to the Kawa Country was apparently a B-level mission. At the beginning, the difficulty was not beyond Daimaru's ability, until he received the order to assist the Konoha ninjas.

"I will divide the task process into three parts. The first part is to clean up the suspicious people in the country of Sichuan. This is a B-level task for me and Yeme and Qian. It has been completed. The second part is for me to lead Yeme and Qian to assist the Konoha ninjas in protecting Sichuan. Rain Ninja of the Country, whether it is completed or not, I will compile a detailed mission report and see the village’s decision; the third part is the mission that you three brothers and sisters support us, and I will report it based on the evaluation of your successful completion..."

"Is this okay?"

Temari's eyebrows trembled, her fingers tapped the edge of the three-star fan handle,

"Do you usually take advantage of the village like this?"

"How can this be called taking advantage of a loophole? This is how the mission system is designed..."

Daimaru chuckled, not feeling anything wrong with doing this at all.

"The most important thing is that the current Gaara cannot be allowed to leave a record of mission failure. I, Yami, and Chito are all safe, and your mission is of course considered a success; even if you support the Konoha ninjas in protecting the Kawanoguni Ume ninja If the mission fails, just blame it on us..."

When Gaara becomes the Fifth Kazekage, this will be the merit of Qingtian's protection. Although it is not a big deal, it is enough to make his brother-in-law remember that he owes him a favor.

"Temari!"

Gaara stopped his sister who was about to say more and shook his head gently.

"Daimaru is the leader, listen to him!"

"knew!"

Although I know that Daiwan's method is the most effective and the best solution for everyone, I still feel a little aggrieved.

It always feels a little uncomfortable to use Machiavellian methods to gain benefits even though the mission failed.

Yeme and Qian didn't have any objections. They all listened to Daimaru anyway. Temari and Kankuro felt it was inappropriate, but they couldn't come up with a better solution.

Gaara said:

"Do you know those two people?"

Daimaru smiled and shook his head:

"Their features are so obvious that it's hard to recognize them!"

Kankuro said in a deep voice:

"As expected, you know, it's a good thing you can run fast, but if you take one step slower, it will be all over!"

Daimaru waved his hand, indicating that everyone should listen carefully:

"That gloomy ninja is the Taki-nin Kakuto who I once told you about 'throwing kunai to assassinate the god of ninjas from a hundred kilometers away'. The dark veined tentacles attacking us are the secret technique of earth resentment passed down from generation to generation by Taki-nin. Yu, decades ago Kakuzu killed the Taki-nin leader and took away the secret technique, Earth Resentment Yu defected;

Another crazy ninja with a big back and a bloody March Scythe is a rebellious ninja from Tangyin Village. Although he is powerful and uses physical attacks, he is actually an esoteric ninja who is good at weird spells..."

"Spell?"

Gaara's expression changed,

"Are you under a spell?"

Daimaru hesitated for a while and replied:

"I don't know what to say. Hidan is good at blood spells that ignore spatial distance..."

"Blood curse?"

The faces of the three siblings were solemn. Yeme and Qian didn't understand, but the well-informed young master and young lady of the Kazekage family understood.

As long as it is associated with spells, it is not easy to mess with, especially blood spells, which are even more avoidable.

Because of the strength of ninjas, it is rarely heard of now. In the past, there were many powerful ninja families who suffered from generations of misfortunes due to the blood curse, and finally disappeared from the ninja world.

It would be fine if it was an instant-damaging blood curse, but it would be troublesome if it was a blood curse that was stubborn enough to be passed on to the next generation through the bloodline.

"Don't worry, it wasn't me who was hit by the blood curse, but the puppet I controlled was hit, which indirectly affected me, but I should be fine now!"

"It's okay!"

Temari breathed a sigh of relief;

"You guys, don't take risks in the future. Can you get contaminated with this kind of thing?"

"I know it well! When you encounter that Hidan in the future, you must be careful not to get hurt, let alone bleed..."

This time, I saw the opportunity early, and luckily I escaped in time. If Daimaru hadn't ordered the retreat, or if the puppet and ghost hadn't escaped quickly, everyone present today might have died.

Gaara knew that if he wanted to be the Kazekage, he would have to face such formidable enemies in the future, but not now.

"You need to be patient a little longer!" 』

The confused Yeme and Qian finally understood from the shocked expressions of Temari and Kankuro what kind of danger their group had experienced not long ago.

"Are you rid of them now?"

Saying that, Yemu was about to get up and go investigate again.

"Don't be nervous. With their speed, if they hadn't given up, they would have caught up by now!"

Daimaru chuckled and said,

"Put this aside for now, I need you to unify your voice now..."

"What do you want to do?"

Qian looked at Daimaru, who had many ideas, and was a little confused.

"When you return to the village, you insist that you don't know anything. You are just following my orders, and then report what you saw and heard before you escaped. Let me explain the rest..."

"What is your purpose for doing this?"

Kankuro was a little strange. According to what Daimaru said, it is not a shame to be defeated and defeated when encountering an enemy far stronger than imagined. Do you need to be so cautious?

"Don't get involved in this matter for the time being!"

Daimaru smiled bitterly and said,

"Didn't you see the attire of those two people? The same style of black and red cloud royal robes, but there is no association with them?"

"You mean..."

Temari, who had the sharpest mind, was the first to notice.

"Do those people belong to a secret organization?"

Daimaru extended his thumb towards Temari.

"As long as you know it well, some information itself means danger. If your strength has not reached a certain level, knowing too much is not a good thing..."

As a ninja, Daimaru didn't need to emphasize this truth. Everyone else understood what Daimaru meant.

"Doesn't that mean that you have to bear all the subsequent hidden dangers alone?"

Temari was a little hesitant, feeling the feeling of being powerless due to lack of strength, one after another, and it felt really bad.

Daimaru smiled proudly:

"I am a chuunin, a genius ninja with great achievements in battle, and a star of tomorrow that everyone is looking for. I was born to stand in the center of the whirlpool of trouble without falling. This little thing is nothing, but you guys should complete the missions honestly. , it would be better to be promoted to Chunin as soon as possible... By the way, Gaara..."

Daimaru seemed to have remembered something and patiently warned,

"You have to prepare. When I come back from the northern fortress, I will host the 'Ninja Training and Selection' exchange event with Konoha Village. You have to participate..."

"I can too?"

Gaara was a little surprised.

Because of his bad reputation in the past, the village rarely arranged for Gaara to complete such tasks. Most of the time, the three siblings were allowed to take advantage of their military expertise to hunt down traitorous ninjas, eliminate harmful beasts, and wipe out bandit gangs. kind.

"I am the person in charge, so of course I have the final say! Arrange a few 'tool people' to help, who dares not to give face? This is part of the diplomatic activities with Konoha Village, no one dares not to buy it..."

Although Sunagakure Village is now on the right track, it is not yet able to escape the protection of Konoha Village. Being friendly with Konoha Village is the most important task of the village at present.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few people who had dealt with Konoha Village, Daimaru wouldn't be allowed to take charge of the overall situation. We couldn't let Maki be responsible for such "little things"!

Coupled with the fact that Daimaru went to Konoha Village several times, the fifth generation of Hokage had a good opinion of Daimaru, so Sunagakure Village had to introduce Daimaru as "Konoha Pass" to take charge of this matter.

"Thanks, Daimaru!"

Gaara was in a good mood, such good news was indeed something to be happy about.

Although as long as he is strong enough, becoming the Fifth Kazekage is a sure thing, but the villagers will definitely not sincerely accept a leader who has nothing but force.

Participating in similar "diplomatic" activities not only builds a good relationship with the Konoha ninja, but also shows Gaara's people-friendly side in front of the Suna ninja.

The benefits of this to Gaara are naturally self-evident.

If you want to change Gaara's bad image in the past, you must start with these tasks that involve more internal and external exchanges.

As long as it's the first time, it will be easier to handle later. In the future, task assignments will be less colored and Gaara will be given more opportunities to perform.

"Okay, this matter is settled, let's rest until tomorrow morning and then go back!"

In one more night, Ukon would be almost out of danger, and Daimaru would be able to take his subordinates home without any worries.
