Red sand dust

Chapter 26: Not close to each other

Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village are too far apart.

It would take more than ten days for the ninja to arrive at his step-by-step pace.

The general plan for the Sand Ninja is to arrive a week before the Chuunin Exams, so that the genin who have basically never been out of the Country of Wind can adapt to the environment of the Country of Fire.

Teams of dozens of people do not move forward as a group, but follow the wishes of each team.

Captain Nekaze did not stay with Daimaru, Yome and Chizo, but let Daimaru handle the schedule on his own.

It was okay when they were in the Land of Wind, the genin were still a little reserved.

After leaving the country, the environment that was completely different from the country of wind and sand immediately opened the eyes of the genin of Sunagakure Village who had not seen much.

After passing through the Kingdom of Grass with lush water and grass, passing by Platycodon Mountain Castle, and successfully entering the Kingdom of Fire, Suna Ninja was even more greedy for this rich land.

"This place almost became the land of the Kingdom of Wind!"

Kankuro said regretfully, seemingly unaware of the strange looks in Daimaru's two female teammates.

"Why are you following us?"

Daimaru asked Kankuro, who had some vague thoughts,

"Didn't Temari tell you not to hang out with me?"

"You think I do? You can't understand how much pressure it is to stay by Gaara's side..."

Kankuro, who looked dissatisfied, lowered his voice to prevent Gaara, who was not far behind, from noticing.

"That's why what I hate the most is imps who are difficult to deal with!"

"Then you leave your dear sister alone next to Gaara? The family relationship between your family is really as thin as water!"

"Isn't there nothing I can do? The thought of having to be inseparable from Gaara for a while makes my heart feel cold."

When they were in Sunagakure Village, Kankuro and Gaara couldn't speak more than a few words.

When Gaara was awake, he could barely restrain his desire to destroy and kill. Once out of control, he would kill even his relatives.

"Ever since Yashamaru died, Gaara has become more and more terrifying."

"Yashamaru? You actually called your uncle by his first name. It's really rude..."

"Do you think being born in the Kazekage's house is a good thing?"

Kankuro curled his lips and said,

"My mother passed away when I was very young. I don't even remember her appearance. I can only get a rough idea from the old photos that are almost fading. Yashamaru is not much older than Temari and I, and she is taken care of under that man's order. Gaara, Temari and I haven't had much dealings with Yashamaru at all."

"That man, refers to the Yondaime?"

Kankuro remained silent, acquiescing to Daimaru's guess.

“Every family has a difficult scripture to recite!”

Daimaru's father died young, and Kankuro was also a single parent, and the relationship between father and son was indifferent.

"I'm a little better than you. Although my mother is an ordinary housewife, she still cares about me. However, you also have something enviable. You have an older sister and younger brother, unlike me who is an only child."

"That's it, sister, brother?"

Kankuro thought for a moment and said,

"Gaara doesn't consider Temari and me as relatives at all!"

"Really!"

Daimaru thought for a while,

"Gaara must be in a good mood today, right?"

"How do I know this? You haven't shown any murderous intent, so it shouldn't be too bad. What do you want to do? Don't mess around..."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law..."

"Who are you calling brother-in-law? Hey, stop here, don't seek death..."

Kankuro watched in horror as Daimaru turned around and walked towards the silent Gaara and the trembling Temari.

"Hey, Temari, long time no see, are you okay?"

"If you want to strike up a conversation, you have to choose a good time. You idiot, don't get in the way..."

"You are still as rude as ever!"

Daimaru smiled awkwardly, turned to Gaara who stopped and said:

"This little brother, my name is Daimaru. I am the one who will become your brother-in-law. Please give me your advice."

"Shut up and get out!"

Gaara didn't even open his eyes, a murderous intent locked onto Daimaru who was smirking frivolously.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Said Daimaru, he took off his feet and ran away.

"It really scared me to death."

Daimaru, who unobtrusively hooked his arm around Kankuro's shoulders, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't get so close...Why are you provoking Gaara?"

"Did you just see that?"

Daimaru showed a look of understanding.

"This is what happens when an outsider greets Gaara. If he didn't treat you as a relative, how could you have stayed by his side for so long without being killed?"

Kankuro thought for a moment and felt that Daimaru's words seemed to make sense, but...

"Just to prove this little thing, you risked your life to get close to Gaara. Is there something wrong with your mind?"

"It's my brother-in-law. Do you want to see it? How can I, a brother-in-law, back down?"

Daimaru glanced at Gaara who was calm and Temari who was looking at him fiercely.

"Sister, brother, and father, don't talk like it's too much trouble. Some people don't even have a chance if they want it!"

"You guy..."

Kankuro was stunned by the sudden seriousness of Daimaru.

"For those of you who don't know how to be blessed despite being blessed, go to where you belong. There is no place for you in our team..."

Daimaru said as he pushed Kankuro and asked him to return to his brothers and sisters.

"We are rivals in the Chuunin Exam. Brother-in-law, I will not show mercy!"

"whispering sound……"

Kankuro spat lightly,

"I don't know what my strength is, but my bragging level has increased."

Temari stepped forward and grabbed the cursing Kankuro.

"Hey, what did you say to that guy?"

"Some boring little things, not worth mentioning."

"That's good, don't cause trouble!"

Temari glanced at Gaara who showed no reaction from the corner of her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Anything that might cause Gaara to lose control must be avoided at all costs.

Not far ahead, Daimaru quickened his pace. At this time, it was best not to appear in Gaara's sight casually.

Qian and Yemu looked at each other and followed closely.

"Daimaru, aren't you scared when you get close to Gaara?"

"It should be okay for you to have a few words."

"But, everyone is saying..."

"I know, Nighteye!"

Daimaru interrupted his friend's questioning,

"Don't talk about Gaara when you're out. Just discuss some things in private."

How many genin who don't know the truth know about the relationship between tailed beasts and jinchūriki?

It would be bad if someone heard a few words and guessed that Gaara was a Jinchuuriki.

At least for now, Daimaru and his friends stand on the side of Sunagakure Village. Including their allies Otoninmura and Orochimaru with ulterior motives, they are surrounded by potential enemies.

"Don't act without permission. We are not in Sunagakure Village now. Be careful."

Entering the Land of Fire, there may be uninvited guests lurking and peeking in the dark. Even the Konoha Village, which is an apparent ally, must be careful and vigilant.
