Red sand dust

Precisely because the spirit and soul are real, thinking is powerful.

The blood inheritance limit of the complete Kurama family is too strong. Daimaru can only get a glimpse of it through Idu, and let the spiritual power with confusing perception characteristics spread along the chakra thread, so that the enemy can be manipulated.

It is different from Miss Saya's puppet imitation technique, but has a similar effect and is more flexible.

Also, this seems more in line with the Puppet Master's fighting style.

"For decades, almost all puppet masters have worked hard on puppets, but they have turned a blind eye to the common chakra threads. As everyone knows, this kind of extension of power derived from oneself may have more prospects. 』

But it's no wonder. For ordinary puppet masters, it's good if they can manipulate puppets skillfully.

The trick Daimaru calls "Star Puppet Thread" is not always unfavorable. Whether it can entangle people is the first problem.

Secondly, Daimaru is not good at illusions. To say he is lame would be a bit of an exaggeration. He has never practiced in this area since he was a child. He relies entirely on Idu's mental characteristics and his own huge mental power to crush him.

Once you are unable to form an advantage, have insufficient chakra, lack of energy, or encounter an illusion master like Uchiha Itachi, you may even be backlashed.

After all, in Daimaru's tactical system, this is actually a magical skill to torture people; against strong people, the effect will not be so obvious, and if they are not beaten until they are dizzy, they may not be able to control them.

However, the value of the "Star Puppet Line" can not only be reflected in battle.

"The secret skill of a puppet show is that it cannot only have one protagonist, but also has excellent supporting roles and supporting actors to perform a perfect stage play!" 』

Daimaru's fighting does not rely entirely on puppet techniques. The more direct wind escape can better reflect his own fighting ability.

It would be too wasteful if the puppets captured by the "Star Puppet Line" were limited to combat.

There are so many strange people in the ninja world who have abilities that make Daimaru covet. Daimaru would not dislike any one of them, but there are too few that can be acquired.

The more critical issue is that even guys like the Red Sand Scorpion who blaspheme the dead are not tolerated by fellow Sand Ninjas. An alien like Daimaru who can play with living people wantonly will not end well.

The puppet master does not actively control the moves of a living person. In addition to controlling the puppet, the chakra thread can also be used as a steel wire to interfere with the enemy. The performance and personal attack skills also need to be manipulated to cooperate before they can be performed.

Using a method of blinding perception to deceive a living person into cooperating with one's puppetry is not something a serious person should do.

Daimaru, muttering secretly in his heart, gathered the body and set a fire to cover up some traces that might cause trouble.

In addition, Daimaru could feel a strange wave overflowing from the body of the "root" ninja who had just died, but it was tightly sealed by the star puppet string. It was not until Daimaru let it go that it completely dissipated.

"Is this... a dead soul?"

Daimaru murmured to himself. Although he couldn't see it, he could vaguely detect the soul disappearing in the flickering firelight.

"Compared to being a ninja, I may be more suitable to be a ghost-catching Taoist priest now!"

The surge in mental power has led to a significant increase in the perception related to Yin Escape. Even if it can only simulate a small part of Idu's abilities, it can already use secret skills such as Star Puppet Thread.

In fact, Daimaru could vaguely feel that if he wished, the Star Puppet Thread could directly capture that group of ignorant souls, and then be digested by Daimaru.

"If you swallow a spiritual monster like Idu that can bring some special abilities, you will swallow it!" Killing enemies is not too burdensome, but "eating people", let's forget about it! 』

Seeing the dead Konoha ninja and the surrounding traces being consumed by fire, Daimaru sighed, turned and left.

"Really...why do you always feel like you are going further and further on the road to becoming a villain?" 』

After advancing not far, another seriously injured Sand Ninja appeared in Daimaru's eyes.

As if aware of the sound of the invisible Daimaru accidentally trampling dead branches and leaves, the still young Sand Ninja raised his head.

"who?"

His face was covered in blood, a penetrating wound on his right shoulder was bleeding, and there was a Senbon stuck in his upper arm that he had not yet had time to pull out.

It is not yet known how serious the internal injuries were, but the bleeding could have killed him if he continued for a while.

"Don't be nervous, it's me!"

Daimaru appeared not far away, and the familiar face made the Suna ninja breathe a sigh of relief.

"Daimaru, I thought you were dead!"

"You are seriously injured, do you need me to give you first aid?"

"No need, I'm hopeless. I can only hold on with one breath..."

"Sorry! I don't know what you call me?"

"Just call me Viper! You came just in time. As a chuunin, I will give you a mission. Go to Gaara immediately and ask them to give up their 'plan' and quickly withdraw to the Kingdom of Wind..."

Viper's breathing became increasingly rapid, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He calmed down before continuing,

"It has been confirmed that the fourth generation who appeared in the chunin exam is Orochimaru in disguise. The sound ninja cannot be trusted..."

"Have the Sand Ninja troops retreated?"

"No, we can't retreat anymore! The frontline commander, the Jonin visor has issued an order to attack across the entire front..."

After hearing the news, Daimaru sighed inwardly.

Regardless of whether the "Konoha Collapse Plan" succeeds or fails, once it begins, it is impossible to end without bloodshed.

Although the Konoha ninja suffered heavy losses and half of the village was destroyed, not many of the attacking Suna ninja could survive.

"Go quickly, there may be pursuers behind you, I can barely resist them for a while!"

If you are injured like this, you will basically not survive. You might as well make some contribution before you die.

"Um!"

Daimaru accepted the order and turned to leave.

"Also, with all due respect, how is Senior Amomi doing the mission with you now?"

"Amomum villosum? That unlucky guy..."

Viper showed a look of regret,

"I met the famous "Pig Deer Butterfly" trio in Konoha Village and were hanged by the shadow binding technique..."

"That's it!"

Daimaru looked sad, nodded slightly, and strode away, heading in the direction of Gaara.

"Life is really fragile, it's gone in the blink of an eye!" 』

Unexpectedly, the chat before the Chunin Exam would be the last time the two of them saw each other.

A friend that Daimaru cared about died in a foreign country like this.

On the other side of the jungle, the chirping of Chidori has been faintly heard. Uchiha Sasuke is still fighting, but he probably won't be able to hold on for long.

Next, Uzumaki Naruto will become active! There were countless killings secretly covered up by the seemingly peaceful ending.
