Chapter 78 Unexpected Disaster

Daimaru walked up the stairs calmly and saw Kankuro greeting him frivolously.

"Hey, how do you feel about being the first 'Red Sand Dust' to be confirmed for promotion?"

"so so!"

Daimaru waved his hand generously,

"Isn't this natural? Don't be too surprised!"

He was three or four years older than those guys who had just graduated from the ninja school, so it was natural for him to be a little more powerful.

In terms of physical strength and combat experience, he is far superior to them. In addition, he has a crushing intelligence advantage. He has been preparing for so long. If he fails, he can just go back to Sand Hidden Village and live quietly while waiting for the son of destiny to save the world. .

The ninja world is so dangerous that it is really not a place for wasteful people to cause trouble.

Off the field, the unconscious Hinata was carried away on a stretcher.

Apart from a little skin injury and being pricked by Senbon, it was nothing serious.

The poison that causes coma is not fatal, and recovery will take place after a period of rest.

However, Daimaru's own chakra was consumed a lot, and the pressure of the continuous hard battles was also great. If it was delayed for a while longer, it was still unclear who would win and who would lose.

However, the fight is finally over, and the next month will be an opportunity to rest and improve.

Feeling relieved, Daimaru put away the stand-in puppet, then took out dry food and drinking water, and asked Temari, the puppet sitting on his shoulder, to feed him.

After relaxing, the hunger that hadn't been eaten for a long time came over him, and Daimaru couldn't bear it anymore.

After devouring the big pill for a while, he suddenly felt the surroundings were quiet for a while. When he turned his head, he saw Temari looking at him with a strange expression.

"Uh! What happened to me?"

"you this……"

Temari looked at the puppet holding tea and water on Daimaru's shoulder with disgust.

"You really want me to do this to you?"

"What?"

Daimaru looked at the puppet, then at Temari.

"Isn't my arm injured? It hurts so much when I move it. It would be easier to use a puppet..."

"Can you guarantee that you don't have any bad thoughts? For example, let me serve you food or something..."

"No!"

"No? Then why are you chewing beef jerky hard?"

His suspicious eyes came closer and stared into Daimaru's eyes.

"so cute! 』

The pretty face that he had never seen so close before was right in front of him, and Daimaru's calm heart suddenly became excited again. This was much more stressful than dealing with Rock Lee and Hinata Hinata.

"Are you sweating and feeling guilty?"

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"big liar!"

"How could I lie to you? I just felt a little hot after the game. It's definitely not because I'm sweating out of guilt!"

"who knows?"

Temari withdrew her suspicious gaze, causing Daimaru to let out a long sigh of relief.

"Do you really not want me to feed you?"

"I really didn't think about it! My grandson wants you to feed him..."

For a moment, Temari's eyebrows suddenly raised and she looked at Daimaru with an evil look.

"No, no, no, I made a mistake...I think so, of course I do too...No, at least I didn't think about it now, and I didn't think about it just now!"

"Really!"

Temari glared at Daimaru fiercely, turned her head,

"Don't talk to me anymore, stay away from me."

"this……"

Temari, who gave Daimaru a slap on the back of the head, walked away, leaving Daimaru stunned.

"Why am I so unlucky! Don't you think so, Qian?"

Chisato on the side looked blankly in the direction of the electronic screen as if she hadn't seen the conversation between Daimaru and Temari. Daimaru couldn't help but look over, where the next battle situation of the winner group being drawn was displayed.

Chien VS Kabuto Yakushi!

"It's your turn so soon?"

Qian smiled bitterly and said:

"Did your bad luck pass on to me? It's really unlucky!"

"Then...what are you going to do? That pharmacist Kabuto seems to be difficult to deal with!"

"Maybe!"

No doubt about it,

"However, it would take a lot of money for that Konoha ninja to defeat Shana..."

"Want to try your hand?"

"Well, if you lose, you can admit defeat and challenge again. The opponent doesn't seem to be a ruthless person..."

On the surface, it seemed that Chi had easily defeated Inuzuka Kiba. Kabuto Yakushi was already injured, and he defeated Shana after a "hard fight". Chi's chances of winning were still quite high.

But is it true...

"Then come on!"

At least so far, Kabuto Yakushi's disguise has not shown any flaws.

Whether it's a coincidence or a secret arrangement, in short, that's it.

"Daimaru, if I win, can you..."

"Um?"

"Forget it, it's nothing! I'm going to appear..."

Qian said, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"What a strange guy!"

Kankuro came over to chat and said,

"Your teammate is really not straightforward, he talks in the middle of the sentence..."

"How many sand ninjas are not weird?"

Daimaru turned his head and bit the meat jerky handed to him by the puppet Temari on his shoulder. He chewed it hard a few times and swallowed it happily.

"You guys are so lucky. You met a weak Konoha ninja and won easily. You were not included in the winner's group draw..."

"You have done too many bad things, so you should be punished!"

Kankuro said teasingly.

"retribution?"

Daimaru said doubtfully,

"Do you believe in the monk's rhetoric about the consequences of good and evil?"

The ninja world has thoughts similar to Buddhism, but the concept of Buddha is not explicitly proposed.

For example, the Six Paths, Senju Hashirama's unique wood escape technique, the monks of the Fire Temple, and the inheritance of Fufu in Sunagakure Village.

It is not surprising that various religious beliefs have been born in the ninja world where wars are frequent, but serious ninjas and monks are not the same people after all.

Those temple monks who controlled the beliefs of the common people were naturally inclined towards the daimyo, the representatives of secular power.

"No way? I just heard about it!"

Kankuro replied casually,

"In order to stabilize Gaara's mood, I invited some famous monks to give lectures and pray for blessings, but it was of no use!"

In fact, the truth is more than that. There are several Luo Libasuo "masters" who somehow angered Gaara and were severely injured.

Fortunately, no one was killed, but since then, the relationship between the forces of the Kazekage lineage and the temple monks in the Kingdom of Wind has deteriorated a lot.

"Why are you asking about this? If you want to deal with those nagging guys, I can't help you!"

"Just ask!"

What Daimaru covets the most among the monks of the Land of Wind is the mana sealing technique Senzuki Risui that can deal with two Jinchūriki at the same time.

If you can get it, it might be of some use.

Of course, it's just a daydream now, and it's not clear whether the "mana" used by monks to use tricks and the chakra needed by ninjas to perform ninjutsu are the same thing.
