Red sand dust

In Sunagakure Village, Daimaru was fascinated by the map hanging on the wall. From time to time, he used a paintbrush to draw a few strokes on it.

The map covering the entire wall covers the Kingdom of Wind, the southern part of the Kingdom of Earth, the western part of the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Rivers, the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Tea, the Kingdom of Bears, and other places.

On the south side from west to east, a series of arrows and numerical values ​​are used to mark the monsoon information that the sand ninjas have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on in the past two years.

The Kingdom of Wind, which occupies most of the map area in the middle, has circles of closed curves of different shapes on it. Anyone with a little knowledge of geography knows that they are contour lines.

How to use the "artificial plateau" to permanently change the terrain of the Kingdom of Wind is not a simple matter.

Even in his previous life, Daimaru had never seen such a spectacular project.

Blowing a gap in the Himalayas to allow the warm and humid air from the northward Indian Ocean to pass through, and turning the Northwest into a veritable blockade to the south of the Yangtze River, is already the most outrageous excuse an unabashed liar can come up with.

What Daimaru wants to do now is much more exaggerated than that.

How to maximize the improvement of the environment of the Kingdom of Wind is a difficult problem that affects the climate of the entire continent.

Not only the Kingdom of Wind will be affected, but also the Kingdom of Earth in the north, the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Taki, and the Kingdom of Rain in the northeast are no exception. Even the Kingdom of Kawa at the southern end of the continent will be indirectly affected.

The influence of the Kingdom of Fire in the middle of the continent, the Kingdom of Thunder further away, and the Kingdom of Water far overseas is very limited.

If a wall is really erected to intercept the warm and humid air blowing from the southwest, the only country that can interfere is the country of earth, which may be greatly affected. As for the small country in the buffer zone that does not have much strength, it does not have the ability to deal with sand. Shinobi bared his teeth.

However, the impact of this incident is not small, and it may attract the overlord of the ninja world, Konoha Village, to mediate the dispute.

The rise of Sunagakure Village will inevitably break the balance of the shinobi world. As a result, it is likely to spawn a series of wars, large and small. After testing their respective strengths and bottom lines, they will cease war at a new balance point.

The most important reason that made Daimaru decide to take action now was the threat from the "Akatsuki" organization and the possible outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War.

Like the big news that Suna Ninja is about to make this time, no one knows whether its impact will be good or bad, and how far it will spread. Because there is no precedent, no one knows what will happen.

"What if...I mean what if, using the giant reincarnation eye's ability to create an illusion space, it could temporarily cover the snowy peaks of the plateau, would that work?"

In the silent room, the invisible Otsutsuki Toneri appeared and replied calmly:

"Complete concealment is impossible. We couldn't completely cover the moon before, and now we can't cover up the watershed you are about to create..."

In the final analysis, the giant reincarnated eye has its limits and cannot cover everything.

"If it can't be completely concealed, can it be reshaped?"

"for example?"

Otsutsuki Toneri had an idea and seemed to understand what Daimaru meant.

The moon is still in the sky and has not been placed in the Kingdom of Wind for the time being.

The general direction is clear, but how to implement it still needs to be considered.

"Let's simply transform the moon rock into a tower defense-style tower. If we move the moon here at once, the impact will be a bit big. If we use a method of changing the beam and replacing the pillars, we can avoid the controversy to the greatest extent..."

"The giant reincarnation eye does not have such delicate operations. How about you get me a pair of Hyuga clan Byakugan, I might be able to help..."

"Forget it!"

Daimaru shook his head in disappointment.

Otsutsuki Toneri said quietly:

"Have you never thought that the so-called disguise is just a cover-up? If the moon disappears in the sky, everyone in the ninja world will be able to see it. At the same time, the sand ninjas are building tens of thousands of meters high towers in the Kingdom of Wind. , I’m afraid everyone knows that there is a relationship between the two..."

"So, do we still want to cover up the disappearance of the moon in the sky?"

Daimaru murmured to himself, looking through the barrier of time and space, as if he saw the two branches of the Earth-Moon Channel, the larger moon and the smaller "cradle garden" reflecting each other.

"Wait, I thought of it!" 』

Daimaru's mind suddenly lit up, and he had an excellent idea.

"Swap the positions of the moon and the 'Cradle Garden', and claim to build a 'puppet heaven' from virtual to real, but in fact use the moon to build a real thing, and use the 'Cradle Garden' as a real 'puppet heaven' to stay in outer space Disguise the moon..."

This is obviously a way to achieve multiple goals with one stone. It can not only prevent the infinite expansion of the scope of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but also maybe cheat Uchiha Madara; it will not attract the attention of interested people!

"Your idea is somewhat possible to realize. It doesn't consume much energy. The giant reincarnation eye can fully support it..."

Otsutsuki Toneri's affirmative answer made Daimaru overjoyed.

"What is true is also false when it is false. There is nothing but nothingness. No one will be so bored as to check whether the moon is a fake in the sky. Just make a good disguise on the surface. It can even protect the 'Cradle Garden' Function, the disguised 'puppet heaven' on the ground can be used to make a big fuss, justifiably and without arousing suspicion..."

"I now believe that a mind like yours is indeed full of endless imagination. No wonder you can rise in such a desolate place and even capture the moon that I and my family have guarded for generations..."

Patting Otsutsuki Toneri's young shoulder, Daimaru said without any surprise:

"I am a little older than you, so I would like to give you a few words of warning. The so-called ancestral teachings of your Otsutsuki clan are not worthless, but you may have misinterpreted their true meaning. Whether it is Otsutsuki Hamura or Otsutsuki Hagoromo's purpose is to protect, otherwise there would be no need to seal the biological mother for the sake of the ninja world..."

It is precisely because of his true love for this world that he does not hesitate to abandon his blood ties and attack his closest relatives.

Human beings are objects that need to be protected, rather than being on guard like thieves, always ready to cleanse and start again.

Regarding Daimaru's words, Otsutsuki Toneri was noncommittal and remained silent.

"The so-called last resort when the ninja world and mankind are hopeless does not mean that mankind has fallen to the point that it is not worth protecting, but it is to resist the outside world..."

Seeing that the other party didn't express anything, Daimaru shrugged.

"Humans are the natives of the ninja world, and such a powerful Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree are obviously not beings that can be bred by the ninja world. It is actually clear where she comes from!"

Since there is the first visitor from outside the world, there will inevitably be the second or even countless more.

"You mean?"

Daimaru's all too clear hint finally moved Otsutsuki Toneri.

"I didn't say anything, you think about it yourself! Some problems are actually out there, but no one wants to think about it!"

Seeing that Otsutsuki Toneri was lost in thought again, Daimaru had no choice but to interrupt:

"You need to rest for two days. I will find eyes that match yours and transplant them to you first. I don't have the Byakugan of the clan. You can make do with ordinary Hyuga eyes..."

"Has the biotechnology of the ninja world developed to this level?"

It is indeed unreal to observe from a high position on the moon. Only by personal experience can you understand what it means to change with each passing day.

"Young man, take a good look at this world with your eyes. It is still very interesting. Even I occasionally have violent emotions that destroy the world, but that is just an impulse. Humans are intelligent creatures that live in groups and are separated from society. If it goes too long, some very valuable qualities will be lost..."

Otsutsuki Toneri thought for a moment and then responded:

"I'll try to find out!"

As Daimaru's prisoner, the boy who had lost his freedom and could only move in a limited space had no way to object to Daimaru's request. He could only try his best to comply with Daimaru's wishes. After all, such suggestions were not unacceptable.

…

Two days later, Gaara, the fifth generation Kazekage, was invited to the room with a panoramic view of the Land of Wind.

"This is?"

Gaara, who had long realized that Daimaru was going to do something earth-shattering, but didn't know the specific content, asked strangely.

"The map of the Kingdom of Wind, the icons on it are very clear!"

"I know, what I want to ask is, what are you preparing to do?"

"As you can see……"

Daimaru pointed to the topographic map of the Land of Wind and replied,

"I plan to build a 'man-made miracle' there to improve the climate of the Kingdom of Wind..."

"I understand, but I'm a little confused. Are the values ​​you marked wrong?"

This project, which is obviously reduced to one-tenth and still seems a bit unrealistic, is what humans should do?

"How could I be joking about something like this?"

Daimaru replied,

"Believe me, it can be done!"

"Tell me, I'll listen!"

Even Gaara felt that it was a bit of a fantasy. It was just that Daimaru's almost unfavorable actions in the past made it difficult for him, the fifth generation Kazekage and quasi-brother-in-law, to refute.

"I stole the moon and used it as a building material..."

"Sorry, I seem to be hallucinating, please say it again!"

"The moon in the sky, a celestial body that appears almost every night, now belongs to me. As long as the time is right, it can be placed in the Kingdom of Wind, and we can transform it into the shape we want..."

Hearing this answer, Gaara was silent for a long time before whispering:

"I'm shocked!"

"Me too. Originally I just thought I would give it a try if I still had time. Unexpectedly, the difficulty was not as great as I thought. I succeeded in one try..."

"When did this happen?"

"Just recently..."

Gaara understands.

Two days ago, I had heart palpitations for no apparent reason. I always felt that something big had happened, but after a long time of sensing, I got nothing. There was no special news from the intelligence department in the village.

Gaara originally thought it was just an illusion, but he didn't expect that the culprit was standing right in front of him and had done such an earth-shattering thing.

"Have you ever thought that we Suna ninja can shoulder such a responsibility?"

Daimaru spread his hands:

"Then what should we do? I have captured the owner of the moon. It is difficult to regret it. If he really returns it, even if that guy doesn't destroy the ninja world and throws meteorites into Sunagakure Village every now and then, we can't handle it... "

We have already taken action, how can we have any chance to regret it?

The ship is already finished, no matter how difficult it is, we have to bite the bullet and move forward.

"You've given me a big problem!"

Gaara pressed his temples with a headache, a hint of exhaustion in his tone,

"The village's fiscal deficit will take at least two and a half years to smooth out. Do you know that to build such a...miracle, even selling the entire Sunagakure Village wouldn't be enough..."

The materials are available, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build it into the desired look.

"Your worries are reasonable, but I have a treasure called the 'Giant Reincarnation Eye' in my hand. It is a force field generator with almost infinite energy, which can greatly reduce consumption..."

Next, Daimaru explained the ins and outs of the whole thing, as well as the implementation process and future plans to Gaara in detail. From early morning until noon, the two of them finally confirmed in the back-and-forth questions and answers. The basic strategy for this major event.

"Daimaru, do you really want to compete with the Leaf Village?"

Gaara asked worriedly.

"why not?"

The nonchalant Daimaru answered bluntly,

"Isn't it a good thing to improve the situation of Sand Hidden Village and create a good livable environment for the Country of Wind?"

"I know what you mean. I will try my best to help you complete this plan. However, I hope it won't cause such a big shock from time to time in the future..."

"Don't worry, there won't be a next time!"

Next, the sand ninjas can have nearly more than a year to build the "Great Wall of Despair" and the "Frozen Throne" with peace of mind, and prepare to inject clear and cool spring water into this dry country.

Until the Fourth Ninja War, everyone was busy.

After inviting Gaara to have a sumptuous "work meal", Daimaru also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Daimaru is no longer the agent of the Kazekage. For such a major event that affects the entire Sunagakure Village, Gaara still needs to make the decision, coordinate with the Kazekage and the government, land acquisition, rights confirmation, manual accounting, cost control, funding Issues such as flow are major matters that only Kazekage can decide.

After Gaara left with his heart full of thoughts, Daimaru received a visit from Miss Saya.

"My manpower has been adjusted and can be handed over at any time, but..."

Miss Saya still can't let go of some worries.

"Is it really okay to just put the 'Cradle Garden' in the sky and pretend it's the moon?"

Daimaru solemnly replied:

"Since it is the 'Holy Land' that belongs to us Sand Ninjas, the 'Cradle Garden' that carries the hopes and dreams of the future, it must have an interface connected to the Ninja World. Since there is a passage, it will naturally involve safety issues. Put it in the sky, in full view of everyone. No one will doubt that..."

Among the three major sacred places for psychic beasts in the ninja world, after Daimaru's investigation, the location of Ryuji Cave has been discovered, and the general direction of Mt. Miaomu is also relatively clear. Only Shishibone Forest is too mysterious, and the entrance has not yet been found out.

In name, the "Cradle Garden" is located on the top of the soon-to-be-completed Frost Snow Peak, but in fact it is far away in the sky. It is one body with two sides, guarding the greatest secret of the Sand Ninja's inheritance.
