Red sand dust

If such negative emotions continue, maybe Idu will reappear.

Kurama Yakumo's crisis was far from being resolved by killing Idu once.

"I'm just a sand ninja who can't protect himself. I can't help you with anything!"

The girl who scared Daimaru to the point of trembling didn't seem to understand that the boy in front of her just didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Kurama Yakumo's mental state seems a little unstable. If another accident occurs, he may not be able to successfully avert the danger.

"How about taking action first?" It seems too risky..."

Everything in front of me seems real, but what if?

Anyway, Daimaru secretly tried several times to remove the illusion, but there was no reaction at all. Even the "third eye" lost its function.

"What reward do you want? As long as I can get it..."

"This is not a question of remuneration, there is really no other way!"

Seeing that the originally calm Kurama Yakumo had a tendency to change his attitude, Daimaru quickly explained,

"It's useless for you to tell me this now. Why don't you let me go first? If the patrolling ANBU of Konoha Village find out, I will be dead..."

Kurama Yakumo hesitated.

It's not that he wanted to have one more person to talk to because of his long confinement, it's just that too many accidents happened and he wanted to know more information.

If it weren't for the opportunity of the war between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village, no one would have come here at all. As soon as they got a little closer, they were "asked to leave" by the ANBU on duty.

"You don't act like you're worried..."

"A frown will not make the situation better. Even if you are going to die, you still have to smile and struggle..."

"You are really a strange person!"

Kurama Yakumo looked at Daimaru's eyes seriously and said,

"I'm locked up here, and I can't actually get anything good out of it. I just hope that I can come to you again when I need help in the future..."

"If you can find me, that's fine! As for the reward, just draw a portrait for me..."

"Well!"

If Daimaru makes other demands, it will be really difficult for Kurama Yakumo to handle it.

It's just a painting, so it's not a problem.

…

I don’t know how long it took, but I posed in a pose that I thought was handsome. I had been a model for a long time, but the light and shadow in the room did not change at all.

It wasn't until Daimaru could no longer hold on anymore that Kurama Yakumo finally finished the drawing.

Daimaru, who didn't pay much attention to his own portrait, put it away.

"Can I go?"

"Yeah! I'll take you out."

As Kurama Yakumo spoke, he made a few weird hand seals with his hands, and then tapped his fingers on the oil painting at the beginning of the confrontation between Daimaru and Kurama Sogumo.

Suddenly, Daimaru's eyes were in a trance, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he had returned to the place where he had a conflict with the Kurama family.

The three people who originally fell on the ground with no idea of ​​their life or death were nowhere to be seen, and there were some signs of being rescued nearby.

"If it weren't for Kurama Yakumo's protection, I would have been discovered. It was really thrilling!"

If it can be called a forbidden area, it will definitely not be neglected. Once an accident occurs, someone will soon come to patrol.

Daimaru knew that this was not a place where he would stay for a long time. After identifying the direction, he quickly left. In the distance, the mighty chakra of One Shukaku became more and more powerful. The chance to escape from the dangerous situation was coming. He had to hurry up and catch a "hitchhiker" "That's it.

…

However, the journey that is not too long seems to be deliberately trying to make life difficult for Daimaru.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground in front of him, his head was as big as a bucket.

There were the Sand Ninja who died in a miserable state, the Konoha Ninja who looked black and blue and seemed to have been poisoned, and there were two Konoha ANBU wearing animal masks.

"Why did ANBU appear here?" 』

Judging from Daimaru's knowledge of Konoha's defense, the Sandaime basically dispersed its defense forces throughout Konoha Village and cast the net over a large area, which meant that there was no targeting, so the defense of the Chunin Examination venue was particularly weak.

Easily attacked by Orochimaru, Temari and Kankuro easily escaped with the injured Gaara.

Obviously his defense capabilities were insufficient. Sarutobi Hiruzen would never put his precious combat power so far away from the core of the village.

"This is the 'root' ninja. Did Shimura Danzo also get involved?" 』

Daimaru reached out and explored the throat of a "root" ninja who fell to the ground. There were traces of a curse seal inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Daimaru reached out and took off the mask of the dead "root" ninja and put it on his head.

"At the critical moment, pretending to be an Anbu shouldn't be a problem!" 』

Daimaru comforted himself, and wanted to take it for granted to see what "legacy" this guy who died violently had. Suddenly, a sense of crisis ran through his body, scaring Daimaru to quickly use the Substitute Technique.

"Is anyone still alive?" 』

In an instant, the "root" ninja that fell to the ground exploded with a bang, and Daimaru also turned into broken wood pieces to escape the disaster.

"He doesn't hesitate to use his companions or even his own corpse as bait to kill the enemy. Is this the 'root' ninja?" 』

Compared with these guys who are really focused on killing people and completing tasks, ordinary ninjas pale in comparison.

For the comrade who was blown to pieces, the other "root" ninja who was still breathing would definitely not have any psychological burden.

It seemed that he had noticed that Daimaru had discovered that he was not dead, so he simply turned over, knelt on the ground with one leg, and looked in the direction of Daimaru warily.

It was impossible to see through the mask the expression of this "rooted" ninja, but judging from the constant trembling of his upper body, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Danger, even when he was on the verge of death, the murderous intention that ignored life and death still made Daimaru dare not take it lightly.

Don't get close, even injured beasts have sharp teeth and claws to hurt people.

Daimaru quietly disappeared, then gathered his breath and carefully shot out several winding chakra threads from the palm of his hand, wrapping around the enemy with lightning speed.

"Next, let me see how useful today's harvest and Idu's gift are. 』

A ray of mutated purple-black spiritual energy spread along the chakra thread and entered the body of the "root" ninja who was about to struggle not far away.

After a moment, Daimaru showed a clear look, manipulated the invisible stand-in puppet to get closer, picked up a kunai and stabbed it into his shoulder.

Blood splattered, but the enemy did not react at all, as if the injured body was not his own.

Immediately afterwards, Daimaru's mind moved slightly, and the "root" ninja, who seemed to have accepted his fate, pulled out the kunai from his ninja tool bag and pierced his heart.

"Is this the horror of complete suppression of spiritual power? Then...just call it...』

Daimaru lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes twinkling.

"Star Puppet Line!" 』
