Red Dust

"It's too exaggerated to get married, but I've seen it twice, and it's still speculative..."

Daimaru quickly defended.

"Don't stop!"

After eating and drinking, the night eyes, a little dizzy, shouted,

"Yakumo-sensei also gave Daimaru gifts, twice..."

"Is there such a thing? This is a story that can be rumored!"

Yamanaka Ino, who heard this for the first time, was taken aback. He didn't expect that Yakumo, a pommel horse, who was sent by a darling lady, would actually do such a thing.

"It's a thank you, I just inadvertently helped Yakumo-sensei a little! Don't make random associations!"

Daimaru pressed the top of Yemu's head with one hand, and pressed his palm slightly,

"If you drink too much juice, don't say a word, be careful if you push too hard, you will spit it out!"

Some people like to talk nonsense when they are not careful, regardless of the occasion or the atmosphere.

"Ah! It seems that there is such a thing..."

The pommel horse Yakumo made a sudden realization,

"At that time, I didn't have anything to thank, so I painted a picture and sent it out. It's good that Big Maru doesn't dislike it..."

"elder brother?"

Even though he hasn't gotten close to this level yet, he actually calls Daimaru his elder brother, does he really think he's an outsider?

When we first met, this little girl drooped the corners of her eyes, her face full of sadness, and she did not have the vigor that young people should have. Later, when they met for the second time in Konoha Village, it was much better, with a lot of youthful vitality on her face, a deep boudoir girl. Damaru's willfulness was revealed without any concealment; now, when he came to Sandyin Village, his seemingly smiling eyes and the evil taste hidden in his gentle face made Daimaru feel a chill.

The most irritating thing is that, except for Daimaru, everyone else was deceived by this little girl's weak appearance, and they didn't realize that this literary girl who was not even a ninja in front of her was a horror who could instantly subdue everyone present. exist.

"As an only child, I have grown up so much that no one calls me so kindly, I'm a little unaccustomed to it, just call me Daimaru..."

"Well, what a pity, this is not very satisfied with my thank you!"

Kurama Yakumo, who was talking, looked in Chien's direction.

Because it was time to see the master, Daimaru and Qian didn't bring the portrait with them, but the familiar aura could not escape Kurama Yakumo's perception.

"No dissatisfaction, Yakumo-sensei has misunderstood, just because I've always been rude and can't appreciate the elegant art of painting..."

"Elegant art?"

The pommel horse Yakumo chuckled,

"It's not that mysterious or complicated. If most people can't appreciate it, wouldn't the so-called art become a tool for very few people to entertain themselves, tout each other, and use this to advertise their identity? It's no different from money, power, and fancy clothes..."

"This……"

Of the few people present, probably only Yamanaka Ino, who had a good family background, was barely able to appreciate it. It was good that the others could understand what Yakumo Kurama was saying, even Temari, who came from a famous family, didn't quite understand it.

"It's okay to talk nonsense..."

"Originally, in real life, how many masters can give artistic value to their works? Most of them are craftsmen who are dancing and writing, relying on mutual praise to make a living, deceiving those mediocre people who don't know anything but don't admit that they can't appreciate it. Money pays the bill. Daimaru-san, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to paint, as long as you follow your heart and discover the beauty in it, there may be some unexpected surprises…”

Chapter 0262 Workaround

Is this a hint?

In fact, it took a long time for Daimaru to understand what it meant!

Now, it's better to say a few words less. The fire of gossip has already ignited in the hearts of Konoha ninjas, and they can't add fuel to the fire.

As for the Sand Ninjas, fortunately, they already knew that Daimaru knew Kurama Yakumo, and it was natural for the two to communicate, but they didn't find it too abrupt.

Fortunately, it's getting late.

Shayin Village is not as lively as Muye Village, there is no decent night market, and most shops close earlier.

Without waiting for Kurama Yakumo to say anything that embarrassed Daimaru, this dinner was over.

Except for Yakumo-sensei, who was still unfinished, everyone else had their own thoughts, thinking that it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

After sending the Konoha ninja back to the hotel, the sand ninjas also dispersed.

To be honest, the main purpose of today's party is actually to let me love Rado to show off. As a result, this little brother-in-law doesn't have much room to play, but Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo are the protagonists, which is really unexpected.

It seems that it is inappropriate for Gaara to go on the path of an approachable leader. Gaara is not the kind of person who is very approachable.

"I need to adjust the direction a little bit! 』

I originally planned to use this "communication" opportunity to show Gaara's transformation, but the details of the plan need to be revised.

Today's Gaara is only 13 years old, and he wants to show a friendly attitude, but he doesn't have the calmness of a high-ranking adult for a long time.

"Instead of arranging everything, it's better to provide him with a stage and let him play by himself..."

After all, Gaara himself has the qualifications to become Kazekage. Compared with Daimaru's blind thinking, making his own decisions may be more contagious.

"Thinking about using manipulative arrangements to push Gaara to the position of Kazekage, I still take it for granted! 』

As the so-called concern is chaos!

Ensuring Gaara's position of the fifth generation of Kazekage will play a vital role in Daimaru's next plan. Some propaganda campaigns that were originally thought to be very good are still too naive to think about now.

It is not too late to realize this now, Daimaru secretly made up his mind, let Gaara, who is the protagonist, take care of it himself, and put himself in the position of support, that's enough.

……

Due to the storm, the graduation exam of the Sandyin Village Ninja School has been postponed for several days.

Until the weather turned better and after a long delay, the time came when the fate of many children was decided once a year.

After seeing the scale of the Konoha Village Ninja School, the shabby conditions of the Shayin Village Ninja School are really not enough.

From the comparison of the number of people, we can find some clues. The number of students graduating from Konoha Village Ninja School every year is nearly double that of Sandyin Village, and the proportion of selected materials is even higher. After a few years of accumulation, the number of Konoha Ninjas will be less Forbearance throws farther and farther.

Before reaching the bottleneck, the strength gap between Konoha Village and Shayin Village was indeed widening. Even so, Shayin Village had to implement an elite training strategy.

Over the years, Shayin Village, which has almost offended the entire ninja world, has been able to stand still. The harsh environment of the Land of Winds has really helped a lot.

Because the envoy from the outer village came to observe it after a long absence, the graduation examination was considered to be extraordinarily normal.

In previous years, the basic physical fitness, ninja proficiency, actual combat and special features were tested.

Generally speaking, the [-]- or [-]-year-old graduates have similar physical qualities. The ones that separate the ninja proficiency and actual combat. As for the final extra points, there are very few except for the wealthy children with inheritance. Talented civilian ninjas can qualify.

At this age, being able to perform C-level ninjutsu is incredible, like Yemu's eyes that perceive from a long distance, and Daimaru's abnormality due to his natural mental strength. .

Strictly speaking, this year's graduates from Shayin Village are considered to be of relatively poor quality.Those who were picked by Gaara to become Kazekage's five generations of students will not graduate until next year.

Although it was a bit boring to watch the child's graduation exam, Daimaru called Gaara and took Konoha and his party to visit the teaching situation of the ninja school, and paid attention to the results of the selection by the way.

Perhaps considering the increase in the share of Sandyin Village's mission seals, this year, the village has very aggressively allowed nearly one-third of the graduates to pass, and the few people Daimaru is optimistic about have fallen into the list of losers.

This should be Yura secretly helping Daimaru, so as to avoid some trouble later.

"With so many children, are they not even eligible for the primary election?"

Iruka Uno couldn't bear to watch the shattered children stay helpless in the middle of the school grounds. Some of them had trembling shoulders and couldn't help crying.

"Primary election?"

Daimaru laughed,

"This is the only screening..."

"Hey! Are you leading the team to stop testing?"

Haruno Sakura asked curiously.

In order to pass Hatake Kakashi's assessment, the seventh class suffered a lot.

"No, Sand Shinobu doesn't have that much trouble. The relationship between the captain and his subordinates is slightly different from yours in Konoha Village..."

"That's it, no wonder!"

Nara Shikamaru nodded in understanding,

"Since those people have been eliminated, why haven't they left?"

"They still have a glimmer of hope, waiting for fate to favor them..."

Daimaru replied,

"There is not much inheritance of Sand Ninja, and there are very few qualified children. It is difficult for many official ninjas to find suitable successors. They occasionally come over during the annual graduation season to see if there are any seedlings worth cultivating. As an apprentice, he may become a full-fledged ninja in the future..."

Some members of some factions in the village, some of them came like this.Sandyin Village has limited resources and cannot support too many ninjas, so it acquiesced to a few innocent "civil forces" to help train some reserve ninjas.

Once the Ninja World War breaks out, or the village suffers serious losses, these reserve forces are extremely important supplements.

Every time the strength of the Fengying family of Sandyin Village is weakened, that is, when the influence of the major factions increases greatly, whoever can get more support can become a strong contender for Fengying.

"Do you still have such a system? Humanization is good!"

In contrast, although the examination difficulty of Konoha Village is very low and the pass rate is high, the system does not give any chance of redress to the unfortunate students, only the Hokage Amnesty can pass the test.

"Reality forces us to take a workaround!"

If there are the conditions of Konoha Village, how can it be so troublesome.

"It's been a long time since those who selected apprentices will come..."

Chapter 0263 Bear the brunt

"This year is a bit special..."

Daimaru waved his hand, motioning to hide nearby, observing the performance of the target candidates, Yemu and Qian, and selected them according to the list.

"I love Luo, you take them around to see, I will come when I go..."

Although ninjas come to pick apprentices every year, the number of them varies, and there are not even one in extreme years.

Daimaru doesn't really care how many people come this year, as long as he gathers the people he likes around him.

As for the "communication" with Konoha Ninja here, although Gaara is not good at words, it's not that he can't do this little thing well.

"Ok!"

The little brother-in-law who followed Daimaru nodded lightly.
