Red Dust

"That's good……"

Temari gently stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and the crisp sound of the collision of the porcelain made the nervous brother's heart beat.

"I thought you were dissatisfied with your beloved sister! Also, don't fall in love at a young age, you are still young, especially Gaara..."

Gaara, who ate the roast beef tongue and drank the soup, didn't make a sound. He was used to it, so he didn't hear the bickering between his brothers and sisters; said:

"Women and so on, delaying cultivation, I don't even have enough time to organize puppets, how can I have time to fall in love? Speaking of which, do you have any dissatisfaction with Daimaru, or do you have other people you like?"

Temari, who filled himself with another bowl of red bean soup, smiled and shook his head:

"It's nothing to be dissatisfied with, but I admire it a little! It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Even if I really have another person who looks forward to it, I will probably compare him with Daimaru involuntarily..."

"After all, isn't the result obvious! What are you still worried about?"

Not to mention, in the village of Shayin, can the entire ninja world be able to find peers who are more outstanding than Daimaru?

Kankuro took a sip of the unremarkable tofu soup and suppressed the greasy feeling in his abdomen.

"Daimaru still has more than one month, and you still have nine months..."

"I don't need you to remind me of my age..."

"I know, I really don't know what the hell you are doing..."

Occasionally, the villagers can see Daimaru and Temari shopping together, and they probably already regard them as serious lovers and are dating.

Even Gaara and Kankuro feel that it is logical for the two to come together, but it seems that there is still an inexplicable gap between them.

There are many early marriages in the ninja world. The classmates of Daimaru and Temari Ninja School, and many young people who have not embarked on the path of the ninja world, are ready to get married and have children.

In fact, the major ninja villages do not reject early marriage very much. Ninja is a more tolerant profession, so is the conservative sand ninja. As long as it is not an unmarried child or cheating in marriage, everyone can still accept it.

Talking about his relationship with his younger brother, Temari also felt that he couldn't explain why, and he was too lazy to go further.

In fact, the three brothers and sisters have already vaguely realized that Daimaru has an increasing influence on them. In the past, family gatherings used to discuss various topics, but now, there are very few things that have nothing to do with Daimaru.

Perhaps, this family of only three young people officially accepts a new member, and the difference is just an opportunity.

Gaara, who took a few big bites in a row and relieved her hunger a little, wiped the corners of her mouth and said slowly:

"I didn't feel it deeply before, but now that I'm the fifth generation of Kazekage, I occasionally wonder if Sandyin Village has bound Daimaru..."

After a short pause, Gaara continued,

"If he was born in Konoha Village, I think he might be better. The stage there is bigger and more suitable for him to play..."

Talking about one's background is meaningless to the three siblings and a strong man like Daimaru. Temari ate half full, held his cheeks, tilted his head for a while, and said,

"Maybe! Do you want to say that I restrained Daimaru so that he was not seduced by the Konoha ninja?"

Temari, who seemed to think of something, laughed heartily.

The capable Temari is not a procrastination person. If you really identify a husband-in-law candidate, it is very possible to actively pursue the other party.

"Actually, I also thought about it. Obviously, Daimaru and I should have been a couple a long time ago, but why is it so bad..."

"What's the result?"

Kankuro asked casually.

"Probably not convinced! Why put on a stinky face, he must look like..."

Temari sorted out the wording and complained slightly emotionally,

"Maybe it's just me who cares about my emotions, and I really need to review. But this feeling of guilt in my heart also makes me a little uncomfortable! In addition, Daimaru also has a problem, and the anxiety on his body makes me a little uneasy, probably the kind of... will It’s like going back to my hometown to get married when something is done. If I can, I really want to beat him up and ask him carefully…”

Since the year before last, Temari has had a feeling of being arranged by himself, as if some possibilities in his future life have been silently erased by an invisible hand.

Temari, who has always been self-reliant and self-reliant, hopes to choose a satisfactory husband according to his own wishes, instead of having only one choice from the very beginning.Even the benefactor of fate, the proud blond girl has a vague sense of helplessness.

This insignificant pride and perseverance also makes Temari a little confused from time to time.

The wind smashed the pieces of meat and drank the tofu soup in one go. Kankuro burped and said:

"I don't understand what you are struggling with. In short, don't lose to those little girls who are eyeing them!"

"You don't need to say it!"

Kankuro glanced blankly, Temari said angrily,

"I must prove it to that big idiot. It's not that he has the ability, but that Miss Ben mercifully picked him..."

Chapter 0535 Choice

In the large conference room on the top floor of the House of Kazekage, there is a big map of the ninja world hanging in front of it, which displays the information of several major countries and important regions in detail.

More than a dozen elder advisors, heads of ministries, and Kazekage Fifth Generation Megura who could speak to the important affairs of the village, looked at the area marked with conspicuous red.

The middle salient part of the peninsula in the southeast corner of the Ninja continent is connected to the country of fire, the country of tea below and the country of bears above.

Needless to say, the land of tea is a place ravaged by wind disasters; the land of bears above is slightly better, but it is densely forested, and many places are smoky and poisonous all year round. It looks like a good place, and the difficulty of development is no less than that of the land of tea. .

This C-shaped peninsula, in Daimaru's view, is a bit like the ancient Indochina peninsula where the productivity of the previous life could not keep up.Only when the industry develops to a certain extent, can feed back agriculture and change the unfavorable situation of rampant epidemics and frequent natural disasters, can its value be reflected.

Why are the middle and high-level villagers studying maps here?

Because the conditions that Konoha Village used to exchange the four tails are related to the peninsula where the tea country is located.

Except for some strategic materials, which are mainly offset by land, the promised area of ​​Konoha Village is at the junction of the land of tea and the land of fire.

That's right, Konoha Village added the territory of the Land of Fire, which is across the sea to the east of the Land of Wind, into the bargaining chip of the purchase.

If this transaction is successful, the land of wind will directly border the land of fire and the land of tea, and the land of fire and tea will no longer be neighbors on land.

"This enclave looks quite large, but it's too tasteless..."

Huang Sha looked at it for a long time, pressed his temple, and said a little tangled,

"Even if we get it, can we hold it securely?"

The land is really good, there is water and soil, and crops can be grown. Satisfying such conditions, for Sand Ren, he doesn't care about anything else.

"It's nice, but..."

Fuyi, who is basically not in the same room with Gaara, had to suppress the discomfort in his heart at such an important moment, attend the meeting, and discuss the trading conditions of the tailed beast.

"It would be nice if the coastal area of ​​the country of Chuan was allocated to us, and it would be good for the country of fire to compensate them properly..."

The junction of the land of fire and the land of tea is not too far from Awaji Village in a straight line. When the wind is down, there are about five or six days of waterways.

At the flight speed of Daimaru, it can be reached in half a day; members of the air combat unit, who are skilled at sunrise, can probably arrive at dinner time; Chakra and novice who are not very physically strong will not take more than two days.

In Daimaru's view, this enclave is not a bad idea. If it can be defended, it is still of great value.

As for why the country of fire chose this place, it is estimated that there is an idea that makes the sand ninja uncomfortable.

How to do?

Even the mature and prudent seniors do not want to speak casually on such a major event that determines the future of Shayin Village and the future national destiny of the Land of Wind. Most people whisper in private, and few express their opinions out loud.

This is a great opportunity that, if done right, can be far more rewarding than winning a ninja war.

As for the threat of Yanyin Village, we will talk about it when we get the land.

Daimaru stood slightly behind, looked at the highlighted area, dragged his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Gaara cleared her throat and said calmly:

"The transaction seems to be imperative, and the Konoha Village has clearly rejected the proposal to replace the land in the country of Sichuan to join the transaction. The size of the exchanged land can be negotiated, but the area cannot be changed..."

Fu Yi shook his head in disappointment. If he could get a fertile land bordering on land, the Sand Ninjas would probably go crazy, but Konoha Village didn't agree.

That's right, if the five major countries are directly adjacent to each other, the possibility of disputes is more likely. Although the land in the north of the tea country is also connected to the fire country, the threat is not great.

The promised land is not small. In order to get the Sand Ninjas to agree, Konoha Village also invested the capital. However, Sand Ninja's water combat ability is not good, it is almost recognized that the only one tail is also used in naval battles. Type without power.

Once the Ninja World War broke out, Konoha Village and Sandyin Village clashed again, Konoha Ninja blocked the sea route, and the enclave could not be defended.

If you agree to trade on such terms, Shayin Village must allocate a large piece of resources to focus on management. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a big loss if the land obtained from the sale of a tailed beast is left undeveloped?

The people who frowned tightly complained in a low voice, this situation is really tangled.

After a long time to make up his mind, everyone looked in Gaara's direction.

When there was nothing to do, I finally remembered that the fifth generation of the wind shadow made a final decision...

Gaara, who had many eyes focused, couldn't help but look at Daimaru, who said nothing.

Sand Ninja's fighting style is a bit extreme. If you want to compete at sea and protect the interests of the land of wind, you still have to rely on air combat troops.

Daimaru and his subordinates have already defeated Iwa Shinobu, can they still trust him this time?

After hesitating for a while, Daimaru nodded solemnly.

Although there are still some risks, as long as the land is justifiably obtained, even if it does not go well in the future, it will be a joke.

The vast sea area of ​​the Greater Bay Area, except for a few offshore strongholds, is basically the sphere of influence of the Shayin Village Air Force.

As long as it is well developed, the treasure land is almost equivalent to the golden delta area. In Daimaru's view, it is no worse than the coastal area of ​​the river country.

It controls the land of tea and the land of bears. It is not too far from the land of waves, and it also opens up the route to the land of water in the east and the land of thunder in the north.

After the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, if the financial support of the village of sandyin can be sustained, Daimaru must promote the canal plan to open up the direct route of sea ships from the east and north to the Greater Bay Area.

This is a major project no less than the Kra Isthmus Canal plan in Thailand, which directly shortens the voyage from the Land of Winds to the Land of Thunder by thousands of kilometers, and gets rid of the peninsula where the Land of Tea is located and restrains the Land of Wind.

Of course, in order to achieve such a feat, first of all, Shayin Village must stand up.

The peninsula canal plan involves astonishing interests. Once it is developed, it is impossible for the Land of Fire to remain unmoved.

"Done!The peace after the Fourth Ninja World War should last for a long time. More than ten years should be enough for Sandyin Village to catch up. If you can't hold it, you can't blame others if you don't have the ability! 』

For Daimaru, first of all, it is necessary to speed up the process of expanding the air combat force, so as to acquire all the unowned islands in the Greater Bay Area as soon as possible, and then go to the enclave promised by Konoha Village to establish a stronghold.

When the new year is approaching, the villagers of Shayin have quietly pushed for an unpredictable transaction, waiting for the Konoha messengers to come to the door and finalize the details.

Chapter 0536 The big man must have a large amount

The day after the important meeting, Daimaru sat in the lounge specially prepared for him on the top floor of the "Tongzi Building". What to do in a year.

The wall behind the desk was replaced by a large area of ​​tempered glass by Daimaru, with double-layered curtains of silver-gray blackout cloth and simple light red gauze. eye.

Daimaru only mentioned the idea of ​​​​modifying the decoration, and was promoted by Daimaru. Aika Shibuya, who is a part-time house manager, although she is a little introverted, Daimaru still appreciates her aesthetics, and her ninja talent may not be enough to support her combat ability. More performance, but its reserved and cautious character is suitable for presiding over some management work that requires patience.
