Red Dust

Immediately afterwards, a strong murderous aura erupted in the direction of the Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha family, and a fierce battle took place among the suspected super-strong ninjas.

Both events happened within the jurisdiction of Konoha Village, and the distance was so close that people could not help but associate.

In particular, these two incidents all happened after Sand Ninja Daimaru entered Konoha Village. It is natural to be suspicious of such a coincidence, not to mention that Daimaru does have such strength and motivation.

The last time Daimaru came to Konoha Village, he had a big fight with Shimura Danzo's subordinates. Although there were no casualties, there was still a grudge in the end.

Doubt turns into suspicion. There is no conclusive evidence, and it is not easy to act arbitrarily. What's more, the "snake fairy" posture of the pharmacist is too special and conspicuous, and it is impossible to frame Daimaru.

"The direction of Nanga Shrine, haven't you found it yet?"

A "root" ninja wearing a jackal mask half-knelt before Shimura Dan and replied:

"There are traces of enchantment around, and the scattered Chakra fluctuations are very strong, but we are too late to judge the intelligence of both sides of the conflict..."

Because the Daimaru Immortal Mode has been activated, the surrounding natural energy concentration is obviously lower than that in the further distance, but who would deliberately probe in this direction?

"Expand the scope of the search and continue the investigation..."

After dismissing his subordinates, Shimura Danzo had in fact given up his plan to find out the truth.

"If you can't get involved with Daimaru, let Orochimaru take the blame!" 』

As for who did it, it doesn't really matter. For Konoha's "root", both are threats that need to be eradicated.

The only regret is that I can't find a reason to keep Daimaru. This afternoon, Sand Shinobi will return with the purchased materials.

Once the large transport puppet is lifted into the air, it is impossible to intercept it.

"Flying ninjas, air combat troops, it's really troublesome! 』

After all, the "root" organization is not a subordinate department of the open and upright Konoha Village. It is only a training institution for the transportation of talents for the Anbu. Such an ambiguous positioning not only brings convenience to Shimura Danzo's actions, but also adds a little restraint, because Acting privately behind Naruto's back, it was proven that it was banned repeatedly.

But now, the "root" organization is an "illegal" organization, and Konoha Village does not recognize its existence. Generally, Konoha villagers don't know about this organization, and those who know it are very jealous of it, and its status is very embarrassing.

If it weren't for Shimura Danzo's senior qualifications, who could suppress the situation, and Konoha Village really needed "root" ninjas to deal with some dirty things, this shadowy organization would have long since existed.

……

A day and a half later, a large transport puppet full of urgently needed supplies in Shayin Village landed on the apron at the top of Fengying House.

Returning from the green land of fire to the sandy village where even the air seems to be ignited by the wind and sand is quite special.

Arranging the aftermath to be taken over by his subordinates, Daimaru reported the results of this visit to Konoha Village to Kazekage Five Daime Gaara and the elders, especially the examiner of the second test of the joint Chunin exam, Longsha Joinin. A full understanding of the bylaws.

Of course, the specific implementation is definitely not Longsha, he can get an overview of the overall situation, and he has other people to improve the exam arrangement.

After being busy for a long time, Daimaru finally returned to the private plot in the "Tongzilou" to rest, and finally he was able to put those trifles aside for the time being.

After activating the barrier that isolates Chakra fluctuations, Daimaru took out the harvest of this trip to Konoha Village.

Under the nourishment of various powers, the shell that sealed the inexplicable power cut from the Uchiha family's heritage stone tablet was put on the test bench.

There is undoubtedly the power of yin and yang on that stone tablet, but it is hard to say whether the cut piece is good for Daimaru's practice.

After several 10 minutes of testing, Daimaru had a preliminary understanding.

"That stele is a product of Yin-Yang Escape. It is similar to the weapon "Black Rod" mastered by the owner of the Eye of Samsara and Ju-Tails, but its nature is different.This mass of energy in my hand is most likely a yin and yang escape, but it is a little different..."

If the reincarnated chakra of Indra in Sasuke Uchiha was in a deep sleep, the mass obtained by Daimaru was like scraps cut from the main body, with no activity at all.

"Sure enough, it is impossible to rely on external force to reach the sky in one step! 』

Daimaru sighed helplessly, trying to "steal" some seeds of power, but the result was just a material that he didn't know how to use.

If there is enough time, it is possible to absorb enough resources to lay the foundation for his promotion with the expansion of the immortal mode and the regeneration core, but the fourth ninja war is just around the corner.

Of course, this thing is also very precious. If it can be determined that there are no hidden dangers, it can also play an important role at certain times.

For example, to save his life at a critical time, or when he encounters Nagato, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara using yin and yang escape, and he is powerless to resist.

In addition...

While thinking about its use, Daimaru suddenly remembered something,

"Wait, can this thing be used as a "temporary catalyst", allowing me to experience more powerful power in advance, instead of using it as a one-time consumable? 』

Thinking of this, Daimaru emptied his mind with many thoughts, and considered the resources he had from his original intention, which ones had high enough potential to allow him to peep into the mystery of Yin and Yang escape.

The immortal mode is a power that needs to be accumulated to become stronger and stronger. The source of yin and yang escape, whether it is Otsutsuki Yuyi or Heijue, its starting point is Otsutsuki Kaguya, which is the divine tree.

If Daimaru is its blood descendant, of course there are more ways to stimulate its power, but unfortunately it is not, then we have to find another way.

Whether it's a shackle eye or a white eye, a fairy's body, or a corpse vein, it is not advisable to transplant it to oneself. It takes a very long time to adapt to the conflict of blood. Kakashi Hatake mastered the kaleidoscope. After more than ten years, Daimaru does not feel that his talent is higher than his.

"Maybe, I should try to create a puppet with forbidden powers! 』

After all, he is also a puppet master, with good attainments, and there are ways to achieve some tricky operations.

In an instant, an attempt to break the forbidden art, the art of Yaki, which was researched in cooperation with the Kurama family, came to mind.

Using his own puppet technique, between the "dividing and combining" of blood power, there is a lot of room for manipulation. You must know that Daimaru has the biological technology from "blackmail" from Orochimaru. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect. The puppet technique is complete!

Chapter 0772 Candidates

Since the second generation of Kazekage started the research on puppet art, most of the ninjutsu research in Sandyin Village has something to do with puppets.

Different from the development of forbidden arts, in the field of puppet arts, except for the preparation of poisons, poisoning, toxicology and effect testing, detoxification, etc., there is no small danger, and there is basically nothing to avoid.

Therefore, the laboratories of many puppet workshops are set up in Shayin Village.

Except for a few directions such as the study of human puppets that may be contrary to human ethics, there is really no need to avoid suspicion.

Daimaru's subordinates now actually control several research organizations of various sizes, half of which are dedicated to the promotion of puppets for civilian use, and the other half are mainly designed for flying puppets and underwater puppets.

In addition, there are also several private laboratories that are not known to outsiders, either in places where idlers are not allowed to enter, or hidden deep underground.

If it is only about the accumulation of technology, Daimaru can completely eliminate most of the middle and low-end puppets on the market by itself. If he is still committed to making money to improve his life and provide assistance for his own practice, such a goal has been achieved. .

When Kankuro pushed open the door of the laboratory and walked in, all he could see were puppets of various shapes, some were only half-finished products, and some were even obviously failures.

For the most part, Kankuro can judge their general structure and characteristic abilities through past experience, but some are beyond his own understanding.

Walking forward, the exhibits on the left and right sides are just like the direction of the evolution of the puppet art in Daimaru's hands.

At the end, after turning the corner, the home puppet master, who was a little nervous, saw Daimaru busy in front of the test bench.

"I am coming!"

"Wait a minute……"

Daimaru didn't lift his head, one hand operated a device like a separator commonly used by pharmacists, and the other hand carefully added accessories, frowning, as if worried about the results of the next experiment.

After a few minutes passed, Daimaru, who finally stopped, destroyed the material in his hand in disappointment, poured it into the waste liquid bucket, cleaned the equipment, and then took off the plastic gloves to remove the odor from his body, and then greeted Kankuro, who had been watching for a long time. :

"It's a little rough! The material process is so troublesome, you have to try and make mistakes one by one, and find a sample that suits your heart by luck..."

"I know!"

After all, he is also a puppet master. Even if he is not good at designing and making puppets, he still has basic common sense. Kankuro has heard of the pain of doing basic research before. out of the sea of ​​misery.

"With your conditions, you can recruit a few assistants to do these things. There are young puppet masters out there who want to learn from you..."

Daimaru shook his head with a smile, and brought two high stools over, and the two sat down facing each other:

"Look at those test items, do they seem like suitable places for ordinary apprentices to come in?"

"That's true!"

The higher the depth, the more difficult it becomes, and the more it deviates from the common sense of ordinary people. Those specimens soaked in the petri dish are all biological tissues that have been cultivated with biotechnology. They are not complete life from the beginning. It is reasonable and contrary to ethics. Morality is not involved, but looking at those fragments that are exactly the same as a certain organ of the human body, it will inevitably produce a feeling of unbearable heart.

"The fear of death is an inevitable instinct of the living. Those experimental products are too similar to people, and..."

Daimaru said with a little emotion,

"They once had the opportunity to become living humans, even with serious defects and extremely short lifespans..."

"Don't talk about other people, even me, it's a little uncomfortable to look at it a few more times..."

Puppet stylist is a profession that shapes ordinary materials into combat weapons with various biological forms. Human beings are the most familiar and adaptable to human beings. Of course, clever puppet masters will pursue powerful human-shaped puppets.

The lifelike robots, the flying Gundam, the omnipotent EVA, small shadow puppets, toy dolls, large transformers, all have the same feelings.

However, Kankuro came today not to discuss the future of the puppet master with Daimaru, but to be invited to discuss important matters.

After a few words of greeting, Kankuro asked bluntly:

"Is there any problem, can't you change the place, change the time to make it clear? It must be in this kind of laboratory that makes people feel cold..."

"well enough!"

During the busy interval, Daimaru prepared a cup of carbonated beverage full of calories for himself, and handed it to Kankuro.

"Do you want some? Drink a little less, it will refresh your mind..."

"No, I don't really like sweets..."

"You've lost a whole lot of fun in your life!"

Daimaru drank the liquid in the cup with a color that made people shy away, and then exclaimed in exhilaration.

"Let's get down to business, let you come here, just to take over the puppet of the third generation of Fengying..."

"This... the village has already decided?"

Kankuro, who had been waiting for a long time, was overjoyed and asked in disbelief.

"There is no suspense for a long time! This thing is a magical weapon for others, but I don't need it very much. It's a waste for me to control it..."

There are not many masters in Shayin Village, and it would be a good thing if there is another strong person who can use the magnetic escape and sand iron secret technique.

"But, why did you give it to me in private, instead of handing it over to the village, and let me inherit it justifiably?"

Daimaru sighed and said:

"If the village was filled with a stubborn guy like you, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"

"What do you mean?"

"I really think you are the puppet of the third generation of Fengying? The leader of the new generation of puppet masters, the illustrious Shadow Guard cadre, such a big name..."

Daimaru pouted,

"Believe it or not, if I hand over the puppet now, it will no longer be with you, at least for three to five years, without your share..."

Daimaru was able to get it because he had the ability to "borrow" the red sand scorpion because of his achievements in the battle. Later, his strength became stronger and stronger. Even if someone coveted it, no one could compete. Kuro is still a long way off.
