Red sand dust

Since the "Akatsuki" organization attacked Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure has suffered great losses, but in the rebuilding of the ruins, they have also truly felt the joy of prosperity.

In the past few decades, not everyone wanted to change the difficult situation of Sand Hidden Village. Due to the natural conditions, it was impossible to do anything if they wanted to.

Being powerless and powerless is a common feeling among seniors in Sunagakure Village.

Things are different now. Renovating their homes and building a more livable Sunagakure Village is the wish of most Suna ninjas, and their daily tasks are also particularly positive.

There is nothing more wonderful than "having hope". Only when you see the possibility that the future will get better and better will you feel that your efforts are valuable.

Now, Sunagakure Village is in such a virtuous cycle.

Daimaru's return has certainly given his subordinates some reassurance, but the "Red Sand Dust" man who basically acts as a hands-off shopkeeper only walks around and takes a look, and doesn't do much himself.

Even on the days when we were away, everyone did a good job.

If the environment were changed, there might be worries that "it doesn't matter if it's the same or not, it has no value." The ninja world is a world with extraordinary power, and Daimaru is not too worried about losing power and losing influence.

If anyone dares to disobey, Daimaru can crush them with strength, so his status is as stable as Mount Tai.

In this kind of social structure, if you are a super master, it would be wonderful.

After years of hard work to improve his strength, Daimaru finally reaped the dividends.

Not to mention anything else, Daimaru just walked on the street calmly. There were many more villagers who greeted him politely, and some of them used tricks to get close to each other. His words were really very nice, which made the flamboyant Daiwan almost forget that he had ever He is also a naughty kid who personally hates dogs and is disliked by others.

I walked along the alley that had changed a lot, and after ten minutes, I finally saw my small building.

Looking up, the once slightly old house has been renovated into a low-key and luxurious small western-style building, and the plaque at the door looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

On the spacious garden balcony on the top floor, Daimaru felt that it would not be a problem to hold a barbecue party.

The outer wall is covered with well-kept ivy, which shows that someone has put in a lot of effort.

"This little trick of quietly flattering and bribing family members is really skillful. If I hadn't been well-informed, I would have really fallen into the trap of sugar-coated bullets!" 』

Entering the hall, there is still the smell of detergent. The difference is that in addition to ninja vests, the hanging clothes include various civilian styles.

It's not that the customer base of the home laundry room has changed, but that the living conditions of the old customers are better than before, and people with a little spare money are beginning to pay attention to respectability. The most obvious way to show their living conditions at a glance is naturally their clothes.

Even though a public laundry is inconspicuous, it is also a microcosm of the social pattern of a large area around it.

The small shop that Daimaru's mother has been running has not received more customers, but its revenue has actually increased.

In view of this, Daimaru once suggested hiring a few employees to help with the work to make it easier for him, but his mother Wu Ye did not adopt it. Only when he was particularly busy, he would go to the next D-level mission and let genin or puppet apprentices do odd jobs. .

Although the family is no longer short of this profit, my mother, who has been washing clothes for most of her life, will not do anything else.

No matter what, you have to find something to do. Most of the villagers in Sunagakure Village, who have been poor for a long time and then got rich, are still not used to a life with a little more than enough.

The gentle Daimaru looked around and was spotted by his mother who came out of the inner room.

"Welcome...huh? Daimaru, you're back, why didn't you tell me in advance..."

"The decision was sudden and there was no time..."

Daimaru responded casually,

"Grandpa is at home?"

"It's time to go out for a walk! Even though you're not feeling well, you still insist on going out..."

"Um!"

Don’t give in! Most elderly people are like this. While they hope that their children and grandchildren will be successful so that they can enjoy their old age in peace, they do not want to be treated as useless and given special care, so they can be particularly stubborn in some ways.

I haven't seen my mother Wu Ye for several months, and her complexion is not rough, and the signs of fatigue in the past years are also showing signs of fading. My grandfather is old and has occasional ailments, but they are not serious problems. It is just that he lived a difficult life in his early years and his body was depleted a lot. Now he is showing signs of gradual failure.

Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. There are some things that even Daiwan can't do anything about.

It is quite difficult to rejuvenate an aging body. Don't think that Shimura Danzo's feat of transplanting the first-generation cells and Sharingan at the same time was easy. Anyone else would have died long ago.

And Orochimaru, in order to resist aging, he did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques to change his body.

After exchanging pleasantries with his mother, Daimaru went upstairs and took a look at the layout of his home. It was roughly the same as before, except that a lot of new furniture was added to eliminate the cramped space in the past.

The bigger the house, the better. Especially when there are not many servants in the house, it is quite difficult for the owner to take care of it himself. Mother Wu Ye can also make the house look clean and tidy after work. It is really rare, let alone in the house. There is an old man at home who has some difficulty in taking care of himself and has a tough temper.

"well!"

Pushing open the private room that has not been occupied for several months, there is no musty smell from being vacant for a long time, and there is no dust in the area where daily activities are carried out.

Taking a few steps forward, he opened the window and let the wind from outside blow in. Daimaru took a deep breath to cool down his overheated lungs. He sat down lazily and reached out to knock on the table. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the furnishings It's a little different from the last time I left.

After thinking about it for a while, Daimaru opened the drawer. Sure enough, there were several pamphlets that did not belong to him. When he opened them, he found graffiti that looked like comic strips.

After flipping through a few pages and getting a general idea, I closed it.

"Which little guy thinks that the room I'm not in is his secret base?" Three minutes of heat, then forget about it! 』

Yamabuki who likes to raise strange pets, Yuyan who is addicted to reading, Kashiwagi who goes out to play and doesn't want to go home, and Hibiscus who is full of curiosity, none of them seem to be making up stories. Only Chaoyan who looks dignified, but is actually full of emotions in his heart most likely.

Having been the protagonist of several puppet shows, I wanted to try it myself. It’s not that I couldn’t understand it, but the level of the “screenwriter” was too young, and at first glance, it looked like they were based on people like Daimaru and Temari.

Being able to think of using Daimaru's room as a workshop is considered smart. Neither his mother nor grandfather are ninjas. As long as he is careful, he will definitely not be discovered. Suna ninja will never randomly explore Daimaru's "former residence". It is hidden. It's definitely guaranteed.

It's just that the memory of the person involved is not very good, so the unfinished work was just forgotten here.

"Association, divergent thinking, creativity and shame, most of the requirements for establishing a preliminary ethical outlook have been met!" 』

The "artificial elves" born in the "Cradle Garden" have become more and more like complete intelligent beings.

As their creator, Daimaru has always been vigilant. He cannot treat them as vassals or puppet tools just because he allowed them to appear in the ninja world. There are endless incidents of biological sons turning back on their parents in the ninja world, not to mention Daimaru and " The "artificial elves" are not even the same race.

Half an hour later, there was a commotion, and Daimaru's slightly dull thoughts converged, and he immediately realized that his grandfather was back.

"No matter how majestic you are outside, you still have to be a grandson when you come home!" 』

…

Miss Saya, whose skin looked pale because she stayed in the laboratory for a long time and rarely received sunlight, was drinking tea on the sunny terrace during her break. Her younger sister, Shanai, who had a somewhat anxious look on her face, earnestly advised:

"While Temari is on business in the south and won't be back for a few days, why don't you go and meet him?"

"Why didn't he come to see me?"

Miss Saya responded nonchalantly,

"I helped him a lot, he has to thank me!"

"Sister-sama, if Daimaru showed up now and said 'thank you', would you be satisfied?"

My sister, who is obviously not stupid, has a clear understanding of people's behavior, but she is very bad at positioning herself.

Sister Shanai's words made Miss Saya's face stiffen and she said unnaturally:

"You do not understand!"

"Every time I talk about this, I just ignore it because I'm young!"

Shanai said a little unconvinced.

In the Chunin Examination a few years ago, if it weren't for Miss Saya's financial support, Daimaru wouldn't have the money to perfect his initial puppet tactics; without sisters Saya and Shana providing money to become partners, Daimaru wouldn't be able to make his first pot of gold. Later development is another possibility.

Even later, without Miss Saya joining forces with him, the Cradle Garden, Artificial Elves, and a series of research would have no basis.

Although it is a mutually beneficial transaction, it is not unequal to both parties.

Saya's family was originally the leading power in Sunagakure Village, and its development was just the icing on the cake. For Daimaru, it was a huge change from scratch, from small to big.

The starting points are different and the intensity of demand is different. The so-called equal cooperation is the greatest unfairness. There is a huge gap between Daimaru and Miss Saya in terms of grasping and valuing opportunities.

Not to mention the middle and later stages, in the initial stage, Miss Saya was indeed carrying Daiwan.

"There are only so many young talents in Sunagakure Village. Do you think I am the top without Temari?"

Miss Saya's unclear question shocked her younger sister Shana. Although Temari and Saya had a bad relationship over the years, they rarely had real tit-for-tat confrontations.

"Of course, my sister is the most powerful!"

"It's the same with Temari's existence!"

Miss Saya said proudly,

"The key to the problem is not how I am, but Daimaru..."

There are many outstanding girls, and with Daimaru's current status, he has seen even more.

In terms of mate selection criteria, in the world of ninjas, being strong is never a plus. In many cases, it will "leave" female ninjas.

Are people like Tsunade, Terumi Mei and others really so discerning that they can't find a partner?

not necessarily!

They are too powerful, and their achievements bring great pressure to outsiders, and they will have the illusion of being "unattainable", which will reduce the number of men of the right age to actively pursue them, which directly leads to their far lower chances of choosing a mate. Much less than other women, which virtually greatly increases their likelihood of being single.

The fear brought by excessive advantages is lingering. If they do not actively pursue the opposite sex, they will most likely not be able to get married.

Most of Daimaru himself and the outstanding girls of the same age around him have this situation.

In fact, it doesn't matter who is strong or weak, because they have reached the bottom line of mate selection standards, and the rest is left to fate.

Until Temari and Daimaru stop fighting, others won't have a chance.

Of course, you can also take the initiative to create opportunities. However, neither Saya nor Shanai are good at poaching a corner with a hoe. Even the ignorant Miss Saya saw that her sister was actually She is an unreliable dog-headed strategist. You can listen to her opinions. If you believe in her ideas, you are making a fool of yourself.

"Kurama Yakumo, that stupid guy with an arrogant face, is so useless; there is also Qian, who succeeds more than fails. He spends the most time with Daimaru and doesn't even dare to fart..."

"Uh-huh……"

Shana could only agree with her elder sister's complaint, and sneered resentfully in her heart. If her elder sister were less arrogant, more honest, and showed her cards earlier, maybe she could become the powerful Kazekage's sister-in-law. .

With the help of Miss Saya's family's unparalleled network of connections in Sunagakure Village, how could Gaara be able to rise to power?

While the two sisters were chatting, a figure passed through the air and appeared in front of them. It was the somewhat eccentric Hibiscus.

"Ah, mother, are you angry?"

"No!"

"Is it true that Father won't visit you when he comes back? I know it!"

Jin shook his head and said,

"I will give you a tip. If there is any trouble, my mother will be informed immediately!"

"Um!"

Reaching out and pressing Jin's little head, Miss Shaye said softly,

"Thank you!"

Next, the little guy reported on Daimaru and what happened recently, especially his dealings with Kurama Yakumo, Temari, Qian and others.

Even the fringe figures in the social circle such as Guren, Xianglin, Haruno Sakura, and Hinata Hinata were not spared.

"It seems, nothing special!" 』

Miss Shaye felt depressed.

To be precise, Daimaru has almost no flaws. Except for Temari, the other girls have a business-like attitude and don't do anything overly intimate in private.

Just one thing...

"What's going on with those two...Tachibana and Puying?"

"I don't know. He looks very mysterious and won't play with us!"

Jin's face was slightly unhappy. With his smart mind, several silly sisters liked him very much, and he rarely failed in communication.

Miss Saya put down her tea cup and said playfully:

"It seems we have to ask Daimaru... No, call Kashiwagi over first and ask clearly!"
