Chapter 705 Waiting

For Gaara and Kaoru, what they need to do has come to an end, but Daimaru himself still has a lot to do!

Gaara, who had regained a little strength, stood behind Daimaru and watched him adjust a metal object that looked like a puppet part.

"This is... a surgical tool?"

"Artificial heart-lung machine, part of the extracorporeal blood oxygen circulation system, will be used in the next surgery..."

Daimaru answered directly without looking back.

"This...are you going to attack the heart next time?"

"Why, do you still have a lingering attachment to the 'parts' inside your body?"

"We have been together day and night, and we have some feelings for each other!"

Daimaru's attitude seemed to affect Gaara's mood, and he couldn't help but make a little joke.

"Then you have to cherish the little time we have left together!"

Daimaru waved his hand, and a humanoid creature with pale skin emerged from Xianglin's body, and was quickly taken into his body by Daimaru.

"The Uzumaki clan's bloodline secret technique, physical healing, is more effective than imagined, but the amount of healing is not that much..."

The blood recovery speed is fast and there are no hidden dangers, but the amount of blood recovery does not seem to be sufficient.

After all, Kaoru is a girl who is not yet underage. Her physical strength and chakra are better than most ninjas, but there is a huge gap compared with other Uzumaki clan members, such as Uzumaki Naruto and Nagato.

"Didn't you expect this a long time ago?"

Gaara looked at Xianglin who had no reaction and couldn't help but sigh.

Daimaru, who once used Xiang Rin's body to carry his strength, had already figured out the limits of this red-haired girl.

"I will use Feng Ying's power to secretly collect a batch of medicinal materials from the war supplies warehouse for her use. In addition, you have to think of a way. It's not a good sign to almost lose half your life in the first operation... …”

"I see!"

Daimaru nodded.

Xiang Rin's bloodline secret technique and physical healing effect is very good. If it just borrows a little chakra and life energy, the impact will not be very big. If it causes any irreparable and permanent damage, it is not what Daimaru and Gaara want to see. .

Ten minutes later, Gaara took a hot shower and changed his clothes. When he came out, Daimaru had already packed up the laboratory.

Those scary "surgical tools" were gone. Xianglin, whose mouth was opened by Dawan and fed a few pills, regained a trace of blood on his face.

After eliminating the suspicious traces, Gaara summoned his confidants and took Xianglin down to take good care of him. After talking to Daimaru about the village's government affairs, he left calmly.

…

On the dining table, a late-night snack that is not very delicious but full of heart is ready.

Kankuro was flipping through the newspaper as usual, while Temari dragged her chin with one hand and tapped the table with her other hand, making a crisp sound.

"Too slow. Why is it so late today?"

"Maybe he's very busy!"

Kankuro replied casually,

“It’s not like you have to have late-night snacks…”

Among the three siblings, only Kankuro, who often stayed up late, might have the need for late-night snacks. Temari was not a night owl, and had long developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. In the past days, she would only comfort Gaara. Only then will I stay up late with him.

Since the relationship with Ichibi Shukaku improved, Gaara himself would not stay up all night, and the dark circles under his eyes would gradually fade away. He occasionally came home late because of too many official duties.

"You mean, the food I worked so hard to cook is redundant?"

Sensing Kankuro's perfunctory behavior, Temari's voice involuntarily increased.

"That's not what I meant! Let's just wait here. Maybe Gaara and Daimaru have already eaten outside..."

"Probably...no!"

Temari asked uncertainly,

"Aren't you a cadre of the Shadow Guards? Do you know what Gaara is busy with today?"

Kankuro sighed and put down the newspaper in his hand:

"I'm taking a day off today, so I'm not sure! Even if I know, I can't tell you casually! The Shadow Guards stipulate that Feng Ying's whereabouts cannot be revealed to others..."

"Why not? You and Gaara are both my brothers. I am not an 'other', I am a sister..."

"You tell Gaara this..."

As soon as the key point was brought up, Kankuro was helpless when he brought up his eldest sister's name to suppress others.

"snort……"

The dissatisfied Temari couldn't help but mutter,

"I don't know what Daimaru and Gaara are busy with recently. They usually don't have much time to see each other..."

"No matter how close and familiar they are, they are still the fifth generation Kazekage and the commander of the air combat unit of the famous ninja world. They are worried about major events that affect the entire Sunagakure Village, the Land of Wind, and even the entire ninja world. How can they tell us one by one? Report?”

Kankuro patiently advised,

"When we need to know, we will definitely not hide it..."

"Only you can distinguish between public and private affairs and be reasonable!"

Temari felt uncomfortable when she thought that her younger brother, who was timid to call her sister when she was a child, was now becoming more and more disobedient.

Just as the two siblings were having an affair, there was finally movement at the door, and then Gaara opened the door and walked in.

"Waiting for me?"

"Gaara, do you want to eat?"

Temari asked.

"Well, I'm still hungry!"

"That's just right!"

Temari, with a happy face, prepared a midnight snack for three people, then took a small portion from her plate and summoned Asahi.

The little guy politely greeted Kankuro and Gaara, who had long been accustomed to him "grabbing" from time to time, and ate the snacks elegantly.

Only Kankuro, who was sitting next to Gaara, sniffed calmly.

"The smell of blood?" 』

Most puppet masters are masters of poisoning, and their instinct to prevent poisoning is also good. Distinguishing smells is a very important ability.

Such a close distance allowed Kankuro to slightly detect Gaara's scent that had not completely dissipated.

"It doesn't look like he was injured. Could it be that he was assassinated?" 』

Gaara himself didn't say anything, and he didn't hear anything strange outside. Kankuro couldn't ask more questions, so he had to keep his doubts in his heart for the time being.

Gaara seemed to be starving, and his appetite was particularly strong tonight. He ate all the food on the plate and added an extra dessert and milk before stopping to eat.

"anything else?"

The food she cooked was eaten neatly, and Temari, who felt that her cooking skills had finally improved a lot, smiled happily:

"There are also iced melons in the cellar..."

"That's a gift from Daimaru for his birthday. Let's invite him to eat together sometime..."

"Eh?"

Temari was shocked;

"Is that a birthday present?"

"you do not know?"

Gaara looked at Temari in surprise;

"Wait, you don't know when Daimaru's birthday is?"

"I heard him talk about it, but...I forgot!"

In an instant, Kankuro and Gaara felt inexplicable worries about their sister's future.
