Chapter 788 Journey

"It is basically certain that none of the candidates are official members of the 'Xiao' organization, they are all me..."

Daimaru said to Temari in front of him with great certainty,

"It won't happen that Orochimaru sneaked into the Chunin exams two years ago by pretending to be a candidate of Kusakure Village, but..."

In this short period of time, many spies have been secretly eliminated by Daimaru.

Most of them are peripheral members of the "Akatsuki" organization.

It is impossible for a ninja organization that has been established for many years to have only a dozen official members. It has many branches that radiate outward, most of which are concentrated in the Country of Fire. The Country of Wind is not the focus of the "Akatsuki" organization, but there are also some latent ones. spy.

Many details make Temari, who is in charge of the security department, feel a little troubled.

"What can I do?"

"Maintain law and order and protect compatriots from danger..."

Daimaru replied softly,

"Putting out spies is not the task of the Security Department in the first place. The Shadow Guards have to take over..."

Only when each performs his own duties can he complement each other, and the competition in the shadows must be done by more professionals.

"However, the Shadow Guards are involved in too much trouble, which may not reassure people..."

"Kankuro is here..."

Daimaru waved his hand,

"You have to believe in your two younger brothers. Gaara can control the power of the Shadow Guards without any hesitation; Kankuro has the puppet of the Kazekage Sandaime, and ordinary masters can't do anything to him. It is impossible to defeat them in a short time. , as long as you hold on for a while and a half, the support of other sand ninjas can make the attackers unable to eat and walk around..."

"Then...Okay! I'll go back first, and don't leave for too long!"

…

On the tarmac near the sea in the south of Awaji Village, a candidate walked into the spacious transport puppet, took his seat, and fastened his seat belt under the guidance of several members of the air combat unit.

Later, the huge puppet took off and headed towards the Sunagakure Village.

"No wonder for the second test three days later, I was not in a hurry to leave immediately. It turned out that I was flying there, which really saved my worries..."

Looking at the white clouds passing by from time to time outside the porthole, they were a little nervous and a little excited as they were at such a high altitude for the first time.

However, as time passed, a few people started to get "airsick", which made the Sand Ninjas responsible for escorting them scramble for a while. Fortunately, there were no problems in the end.

"How many people need to control such a big puppet?"

Sitting in the front row of Konoha Genin Class 8, Aburame Shino and Hyuga Hinata are both taciturn people. Only Inuzuka Kiba asks the "flight attendant" opposite from time to time.

"how many people?"

Sha Sui replied awkwardly,

"I don't know, there's probably no one! Anyway, I only saw Chaoyan sitting in the driver's seat..."

"Who is Chaoyan?"

"You don't even know about Temari-sama's beloved puppet, the famous 'Kaguya'?"

"You mean that..."

Inuzuka Kiba thought for a moment,

"I'm a bit impressed! But can puppets also control puppets?"

"Chaoyan is very well-behaved and beautiful..."

When it comes to "Kaguya Princess", there are few villagers who are not excited.

After waiting for the "big sister" opposite to talk for a long time, Inuzuka Kiba interrupted and asked:

"That's not what I want to know! No one needs to control it. Is this big guy safe?"

Thousands of meters in the air, looking down, nothing could be seen clearly except rolling sand dunes and scattered oases. If this fell, it would probably be smashed to pieces!

"Don't worry, although Chaoyan is a newbie, he is very reliable..."

"Newbie?"

Even the calm Shino Aburame and Hinata Hinata were shocked.

"With so many people, if we are not careful, what should we do if something goes wrong?"

If I had known better, I would not have sat on this weird thing, and would have been able to run to Sunagakure Village safely and securely! The candidates who heard the question and answer nearby couldn't help but feel excited.

At this moment, an updraft hit, and the flying puppet bumped violently, and then rushed into a cloud of cumulonimbus. Small ice crystals hit the puppet's body, making a pattering sound, and the violent tremors made people's hearts beat. , the faint thunder in the distance is also heart-wrenching.

"Thunderstorms are still rare this season!"

Sha Sui completely ignored the looks of the candidates around her and said to herself,

"It looks like there will be a heavy rain, but it's a pity it's not near Sunagakure Village!"

A few minutes later, the puppet broke out of the clouds and was bathed in the golden sunlight again. It swept away the gloomy atmosphere just now and made many candidates feel a little better.

At this moment, a group of sand ninjas flew quickly from the distance, passing by the transport puppets heading north.

"what is that?"

"The Special Operations Group of the Air Combat Force specializes in monitoring abnormal weather and secondary disasters. It occasionally serves as an emergency rescue team. Its usual tasks are to observe the direction of ocean currents, forecast fishing floods, and occasionally carry out artificial rainfall. This season, it is so hurried to the southwest. Go, most likely to carry out the mission of exterminating locusts..."

"Locust eradication? Did drought cause a desert locust plague..."

As a member of the Aburame family, she was involved in the mission to support Sunagakure Village two years ago. Although she didn't bring Aburame Shino with her, she still knew a lot about it.

"It happens every two or three years, we're all used to it!"

Sha Sui naturally spread her hands.

"In the past, every time drought and locusts plagued the Kingdom of Wind, the vitality of the Kingdom of Wind would be severely damaged. We sand ninjas were also very busy. Now we are much calmer..."

Technological progress has brought about rapid changes. Terrorist disasters that once made people feel as if they were facing a powerful enemy are now just ordinary events.

Just as he was talking, the bell in the cabin rang.

"It's lunch time. There are seafood, noodles and rice. The drinks are juice and water. If you are allergic to seafood, please inform us in advance..."

Chaoyan's slightly cold voice came from the radio.

"You still care about food? I happen to be hungry..."

Inuzuka Kiba suddenly beamed, and his worries were immediately forgotten.

"Although Sand Hidden Village is not rich, it still has basic security. The air tickets to and from the village are not cheap, so we can also benefit from it."

In Sunagakure Village today, having enough to eat and drink is no longer a big problem. If you want to enjoy yourself, even ordinary ninjas don't dare to be extravagant.

After eating and drinking, everyone in the flying puppets spoke much softer. Many people began to close their eyes and rest. After another half day, the flying puppets transporting the candidates finally landed in Sand Hidden Village.

"We arrived at dawn and dusk! The journey that originally took at least three days to reach, ended up arriving in less than a day! It's really a frightening amount of mobility..."

Setting foot on the land of Sunagakure Village again, Nara Shikamaru looked at the village that was still shrouded in sand haze with emotion. Unlike the desolate and deserted village he saw last time, it had now regained a lot of vitality.

When so many strangers suddenly came, the villagers of the slightly closed Sunagakure Village did not make a fuss and watched. Compared with the past, they were obviously much more confident.
