Red Dust

boom……

Daimaru slammed his head on the coffee table in front of him, and the thick glass was cracked a few times by the headbutt.

"forget it. I'm done here!"

If it continues, the self-esteem of the young man in front of him will probably be unsustainable.

Looking at the boy who no longer wanted to raise his head to meet anyone, the smile on Kurama Yakumo's face faded, he stretched out his hand to support his shoulder, gently pulled him up, took out a handkerchief with the other hand, and wiped his forehead. A little blood splattered.

"Feel ashamed?"

Before Daimaru could answer, a look of reluctance appeared on Kurama Yakumo's face.

"I think that girl knows what you mean, it's not ashamed! I don't know how to like it, just learn it. But, don't think that if you don't have bad intentions and don't do evil things in the future, you won't hurt other people's feelings! Then Such lazy words like 'I am this kind of person', 'I can't do anything', don't say it anymore, okay..."

"Ok!"

Daimaru agreed softly.

There are white absolute clone cells that provide life energy, and the slight injury will stop bleeding and improve after a while.

"You have a clean heart and no lack of thoughtfulness, but it's a pity that you didn't let the girl know about it..."

"I feel that I have gained a lot today, thank you for the reminder..."

"It's just a lot of work! After talking for so long, I'm a little tired..."

"Then... I won't bother you! I don't know when it's convenient for you, I'll bring my two companions over to clean up the hidden dangers..."

"No, you can just act at your own pace. Before returning to Konoha Village, I will take care of everything..."

"So, I'm sorry to bother you..."

After speaking, Daimaru stood up and nodded in greeting, then disappeared into the air, the door silently opened and closed again.

Realizing that Daimaru was really gone, Kurama Yakumo let out a sigh of relief, leaning weakly on the sofa, looking at the handkerchief stained with Daimaru's blood.

"Today, I really did an incredible thing!"

The girl with a tired face, her eyes flickered slightly, the handkerchief was instantly restored to white, and then she was shoved into her arms.

"Daimaru...become more interesting, but also farther away from me!"

Because of his ability to know what other people think, he can easily see through the problem, but after he was rejected, he immediately pointed out the shortcomings of that ruthless guy and helped him pursue another girl. Isn't it too selfless!

"how is this possible?"

A small smile appeared on the corner of Yakumo's mouth.

"The Temari that exists in Daimaru's heart is always the most special, and there is no chance for others. Only when the two of them get closer, will he find out that she is just an ordinary girl. Without that aura, Who wins and who loses is unknown..."

Chapter 0298 Disaster

Since the storm passed, there has been no rain in Shayin Village for nearly two months.

The entire Land of Winds, except near the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers, still had a little precipitation, and other places suffered a super drought that was rare for many years.

In the eyes of ordinary people, desert areas that are already hot and drier have no times when they are not dry, but only the aborigines who live in them can understand it. The turn of spring and summer this year is estimated to be a difficult season.

There are few desert oases suitable for human habitation, and drinking water is estimated to be a problem.

This time is the busiest season for the sand ninjas, assisting residents whose homes have been destroyed to migrate and evacuate, digging rock wells to use groundwater for emergency rescue, and so on.

Requests for help from all over the country were sent in an endless stream, and because of the emergency, there was much less quarrel in the village.

Even the Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro teams, who were rarely sent out, were dispatched from time to time.

In contrast, Daimaru, Yame, and Chien, who were busy training in the air team, were not so busy.

Today, however, such leisurely days seem to have come to an end.

Ryusha, who was in charge of the assignment, crossed his fingers with his hands, held his chin, and waited for Daimaru's answer with a stern look.

Daimaru, who was called temporarily, glanced through the mission book in his hand with an ugly face.

"Desert locust plague is coming? It's about this time..."

With the help of ninjas, there are still ways to alleviate the dilemma of drought and water shortages, but together with the desert locust plague, it is not an easy problem to solve.

"Whenever a severe drought comes, the desert locust plague is like a shadow, and there is no way to do it, but this year seems to be a little more serious..."

Long Sha sighed helplessly.

Even ninjas who have mastered extraordinary powers are somewhat powerless in the face of overwhelming locusts.

Even if the current Hidden Sand Village is fully populated, there are only more than 1 ninjas, and there are still many old, weak, sick and disabled who are not useful.

Spend two or three months mobilizing for war, maybe a little more.But in front of the desert locusts in units of hundreds of millions, it is not enough to see.

With that time to prepare, the desert locust plague might have spread to the country of fire.

More than a decade ago, the Land of Wind also experienced a severe locust plague caused by drought, causing countless losses. The largest wave of locust swarms was conservatively estimated to exceed [-] billion.Wherever he passed, the only oases became white fields.

Very hungry locusts, although they won't prey, they can really bite people. The unfortunate animal carcasses, including humans, and even the remains of the same kind may become their meals.

That natural disaster was also the indirect driving force behind Shayin Village's attack on Konoha Village and the third Ninja World War.

You really can't live anymore, who cares about you so much, let's talk about it after a fight.

The desert locust plague this time is not as good as it was ten years ago, but it is also quite terrifying.

"What is the village going to do?"

Longsha replied in a deep voice:

"Abandon all oases in the southwest, urgently evacuate the residents there, and establish an isolation line from the south to the northwest to minimize the impact of the desert locust plague..."

The essence of the Land of Winds is near the Land of Earth, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Rivers where there is a little more precipitation. In the southwest, except for the fishermen who live by the sea, most of the areas are uninhabited.

Concentrating strength, keeping the core, and giving up some corners that cannot be scrutinized are also things that can't be helped.

"What is my mission?"

Long Sha took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The task of eliminating locusts is very urgent. The village is trying its best to maintain it. We ninjas are only flesh and blood. No matter physical strength or chakra, they are limited, and their mobility is far from keeping up with the speed of locusts advancing... …”

"So, do you need air support..."

Daimaru immediately understood.

No matter which world or industry, those who can reach the top level are not fools.

There may not be an intuitive impression before, how can it be impossible to see the great role of the air combat ninja now?

"The village spent a lot of money to set up this ninja army, not to look good, but to be useful. Today is still short, and the fighting ability is definitely not worth mentioning, and we will not be unkind. Asking for more, the performance of those children has exceeded expectations. However, the opponent is a group of bugs, so it may not be impossible to deal with..."

Long Sha took a deep look at the boy in front of him:

"Daimaru, you must understand that although the situation is critical this time, the village has been tried and tested. Even if there is no air team, it can cope with this natural disaster. It is only a matter of the length of time and the amount of loss. If you and your subordinates behave well Well, we can solve the problem more calmly! Can we trust you and those little kids?"

"can!"

Daimaru answered firmly.

"Very well, go get the code book for this special combat mission. The pesticides, ration pills, healing medicines and other substances have been prepared. If there is no doubt, call your subordinates and set off immediately..."

"No problem! By the way, the Konoha ninjas are going to return tomorrow. If I'm not here, I don't know how to arrange it?"

"Don't worry about that. I have already communicated with them. They plan to take the initiative to stay for a while longer and help a little as they can. It is not easy for the village to reject their kindness. In addition..."

Longsha waved his hand and explained,

"The village has already sent an application for help to Konoha Village. Soon, there will be insect envoys from the oil girl family to come to support. After the matter is over, it's good to return with the Konoha ninjas who came to communicate..."

"That's it, I understand..."

With the help of those masters who play bugs, it is no wonder that the village is so confident, and the expectations for the air team are very low. As long as they can do a little bit of icing on the cake, they are very satisfied. As for whether they can become the mainstay of turning the tide, everyone has no such hope.

After exiting the door of Kazekage House, Daimaru rose into the sky without hesitation, swept past by the wind, and arrived at the training base in a short while.

Interrupted Yemu and Qianxiang to explain the actual combat skills to those students.

"Training and learning come to an end for now! There is an urgent task..."

Daimaru commanded succinctly,

"Although you are not officially ninjas yet, you should have the consciousness that you are about to become ninjas. Now, immediately put on the wing armor and prepare to go..."

As Daimaru spoke, he handed the topographic map of the defense line to Yemu, and asked Qian to keep the password book.

When I turned around, I found that the students didn't seem to react and were still on the spot.

"Can't understand the order? After 5 minutes, if you are not ready to go, get out and don't come again..."

Chapter 0299 ​​Efficient

Time is so precious, and every time you delay, you don't know how many green vegetation desert locusts eat.

Fortunately, the sand ninjas who are proficient in poison making do not lack experience in dealing with desert locust plagues.

"The biggest problem is that desert locusts migrate very quickly. After eating one area, they will fly to the next area in groups to feed. All we have to do is to throw pesticides down in the air. …”

Daimaru stood on top of the puppet and ghost, carrying Yemu and Qian, and quickly flew towards the most important place in line with the flying speed of the surrounding students.

Looking down from the sky, the deserts in the Land of Wind are mainly divided into several types. The red desert has iron oxide attached to the surface, and there should be a large amount of iron ore nearby; the black area is the Gobi Desert such as bare rock and weathered rock pillars;

The colorful areas with bright colors either contain minerals from ancient volcanic eruptions, or are rich in rare metals. If you want to find hot springs, try this kind of place more, and maybe you will gain something.

On the southwest coast, there are also a few extremely dazzling white deserts, which are a spectacle formed by the sunlight reflected by the abundant gypsum crystals in the sand.

In addition, most deserts are yellow, including pale yellow, bright yellow, golden yellow, etc., with slight differences due to differences in mineral content.

But at this time, everyone saw a shocking scene.

The yellow and black desert locusts are mighty, like a gray-brown streamer that is several kilometers wide and stretches for dozens of kilometers with no end in sight. The oasis was then buried by yellow sand.

"Is this desert locust?"

A look of fear appeared on Yemu and Qian's faces.

The small and weak insects gathered in such a large number and swarmed the sky and covering the sky, making the sand ninjas who came against the wind couldn't help but want to retreat.

"This is only limited to the corner of the southwest. If it spreads to the entire country of wind, it is unimaginable..."
