Red sand dust

"I can't hold my breath!" 』

Daimaru sighed slightly in his heart. Gaara was inexperienced after all. As one of the Five Kages with the least prestige, there was no need to get involved in these unnecessary arguments.

This Five Kage Conference is not held to hold people accountable. It doesn't matter how the current tense situation in the shinobi world was caused. The top priority is to solve the problem.

A fourteen-year-old child is inherently at a disadvantage when trying to reason with an old guy who is decades older.

Sunagakure Village, which had already taken advantage of it, did not need to overreact to a little fame and mere criticism.

The Four Tails are now in the hands of the Konoha ninja. No matter what, they are the ones who need to consider the aftermath the most, not the Suna ninja.

Hearing Gaara's blunt retort on the spur of the moment, the Mizukage Fifth Generation's Terumi Mei frowned unconsciously.

The two tailed beasts of Kirigakure Village, the three-tailed Isozu was implicated in the death of Yagura, the fourth generation of the Mizukage, and is temporarily recovering. He doesn't know where he is hiding, and the day when he can be found is far away; the six-tailed rhinoceros is far away. It was even lost with the defection of Jinchuriki Yugao.

According to Gaara, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are the ones who meet each other. If the Sand Ninja encounters them, will they still capture them and sell them for money, or keep them for themselves?

Gaara, who was completely unaware that his unintentional words had made the Kiri ninja unhappy, seemed to feel that his words were too rude, and under the gaze of others, he suppressed the excited thoughts in his heart and said no more.

"Hmph... Suna Ninja's responsibility will be discussed later!"

Onoki mocked coldly,

"The four-tailed ownership must be confirmed today. Don't underestimate the determination of our Iwagakure Village..."

Glancing at Gaara's childish face, Onoki expressed his opinions righteously directly to Tsunade, the real person who had the final say.

As bodyguards, including Daimaru, there is no need, and in fact, they do not participate in the debate. As long as Ruqing protects his own "shadow" and eliminates interference from the venue, he is doing his duty.

Normally, Daimaru could discuss things with Gaara a little and express some opinions, but in this situation, it was really not suitable for him to act on his behalf.

The Kumo ninja plays both sides, and his intention to take advantage of the opportunity is obvious; Gaara and Mei Terumi seize the opportunity to support Tsunade, and the dispute between the protagonists Tsuchikage Sandaime and Hokage Fifth Daime is no less important than a ninja war. .

If you are not careful, the history of the ninja world may go in another direction.

The two sides are at loggerheads and refuse to give in to each other, but they each have their own scruples and are unwilling to completely break up their faces.

Loess still looked dull, Nara Shikaku stood behind Tsunade seriously, looking at Kirabi and Kirabi who seemed to be completely absent from the meeting, arms folded, eyes closed, fingers shaking from time to time. , Daimaru seems to be planning something.

Nearly half an hour later, the noise became more and more intense. Daimaru seemed to have woken up from a dream. He opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at the people with different expressions, and then looked in the direction of Mifune.

"It's almost time for you to come forward and smooth things over!" 』

The leader of the Iron Kingdom, who seemed to realize that if he continued, the Five Shadows Conference would be in danger of losing control, coughed a few times and said loudly:

"Continuing tit-for-tat will not lead to results. I propose to adjourn the meeting temporarily and allow all parties to weigh in more. It will be more efficient to discuss it again..."

"Can!"

Mei Terumi, who stayed out of the matter, was the first to agree, Ai also nodded, Ohnoki and Tsunade did not object, as for Gaara, he said nothing and just followed the crowd as a matter of course.

Ohnoki retreated to the lounge with Huang Tu, and Ai and Kirabi also walked out directly. No one knew whether the two parties would reach any agreement in private.

On the other side, Tsunade seemed to have something to say to Gaara alone. Nara Shikaku winked and walked away, and Daimaru also walked out with interest.

Terumi Mei, who greeted Tsunade kindly, led Ao and left with Daimaru.

Declining the service provided by the waiter arranged by the Iron Kingdom, Daimaru walked out of the main hall of the venue, jumped up lightly, and landed on the eaves of the roof.

Although the room was relatively warm, it was still a bit stuffy after all. The cold air was sucked into the abdominal cavity, clearing the stuffy brain.

I don’t know why the samurai of the Iron Kingdom did not use air conditioners or heaters. On such cold days, it was a bit uncomfortable to use firewood, charcoal and other open flames to keep warm in a nearly closed room.

It is said that they follow some samurai tradition, and I don’t know why these “fake samurai” who have lost their minds are so insistent on these boring details.

A few minutes later, Daimaru stared at the snowflakes in the sky in boredom. He suddenly turned around and saw Terumi Mei, who had green eyes and long brown curly hair covering half of his forehead and one eye, following him.

"Mizukage-sama, do you have any advice?"

"I'm curious, I have something else to ask you..."

Terumi Mei answered bluntly.

"If you have any questions, you can ask the Kazekage Godaime. I'm just a guard. It's not convenient for me to say more..."

"You don't seem like someone who follows the rules..."

Daimaru looked around and saw that there was no Ao following him. It was actually not a good thing for the two of them to meet alone. The Suna Ninja and the Kiri Ninja really had nothing to talk about.

"Why don't you say anything? It seems like you really don't want to say anything valuable..."

Terumi Mei, who originally planned to chat with Daimaru about the defection of the tailed beasts, gave up the idea of ​​inquiring about the news.

"It's a rare encounter, let's talk about some insignificant personal matters..."

"Sorry, something is inappropriate..."

Daimaru took two steps back, a little further away from the approaching Mizukage Godaime.

"It would be bad if any inappropriate rumors spread..."

As a lesson learned from the past, I don’t know how many women who have had close contact with Daimaru have been rumored to have had scandals. It took a long time for the limelight to pass, but it would be terrible if they were misunderstood again.

"Rumors, what are they? Adults have to deal with too many rumors. I don't care..."

"But I care..."

Daimaru made a gesture of rejection with his hands and said unceremoniously,

"A dignified and mature woman like you is naturally the focus of everyone's attention. My reputation is not very good to begin with. I can no longer be misunderstood and cause inexplicable scandals..."

"Ah……"

Terumi Mei, who couldn't hold back her laughter, said softly,

"It seems that you have a sweetheart, am I right?"

Daimaru smiled, neither denying nor confirming.

Personal matters, there really is nothing to talk about with a married girl thousands of miles away. Who knows whether this sensitive and angry big sister will cause trouble to Daimaru, so it is better to keep a distance.

"I really envy you. It's great to be young. I can't always find a perfect man..."

"I'm sorry, it's your privacy. Isn't it nice to talk too much to me, a person you're meeting for the first time?"
