Red sand dust

Why didn't Daimaru want to meet Jiraiya casually, and Jiraiya didn't go to Daimaru, the actual controller of Naruto Village?

Mainly because their identities are a bit special!

Neither of them are people who care too much about etiquette and rules, but with such a status, any public meeting will be studied and over-interpreted.

Maybe it was just a trivial rudeness, Daimaru and Jiraiya didn't think it was important, and their subordinates would come up with a lot of so-called profound meanings.

Sometimes, the deterioration of relations between ninja villages and countries may be caused by an inexplicable misunderstanding.

It's not that the big shots are really keen on ceremony and pomp, but rather to avoid sending the wrong signal.

For example, Daimaru got too close to Fuyi during the last open test of air combat ninja training. After chatting for a while, rumors spread that "Red Sand" and Gaara were at odds.

The two parties involved didn't pay much attention to it, but their close subordinates actually showed signs of alienation, which was really dumbfounding.

But now, since we have talked about it, it would be nice to meet.

Being too close to Jiraiya was not what Daimaru wanted, mainly because he couldn't beat him now.

Under normal conditions, the difference in strength between the two should not be that big, but with the help of Jiraiya's psychic beasts from Mt. Myoboku, Daimaru's two fists were hard to beat with four hands.

If everyone turns on the sage mode, Daimaru will be no match.

Miaomushan's magical skills accumulated over the years are really powerful.

Even Daimaru, who is good at spiritual magic, is not sure that he will be able to escape from the attack of the magic toad, which is a powerful magic that even defeated Pain's Six Paths.

Facing Tsunade and Orochimaru, Daimaru didn't feel such pressure.

As a last resort, Daimaru had no choice but to tell his subordinates to make arrangements for Kurama Yakumo, Jiraiya, and Uzumaki Naruto.

…

The next morning, in a newly opened open-air training ground, Uzumaki Naruto was sparring with a short-haired and well-dressed girl who was half a head taller than him.

Jiraiya stood aside with his arms crossed, watching the performance of his disciples. Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo stood not far away, observing the battle situation and communicating in a low voice.

On the field, the shadow clone technique was used from time to time to strengthen the attack and consume the physical strength of the girl named Chao Feng on the opposite side.

Unfortunately, the effect was not very good. The six or seven shadow clones of Naruto Uzumaki that surrounded him were knocked to pieces by the inexplicable attack before they even got close.

"what happened?"

I tried several times but to no avail, it was just a waste of chakra and stamina.

Uzumaki Naruto took out his kunai and watched warily as the opponent defeated his attack with every move, but he didn't even know the opponent's counterattack.

Chaofeng, who showed off his strength silently, was, as his name suggests, a veritable wind escape ninja, even purer than Daimaru.

"Is this your disciple?"

Kurama Yakumo, who asked in a low voice, watched with curiosity as Chaofeng quickly approached Uzumaki Naruto with a strange rhythm of footsteps. The air around him seemed to be flowing for her.

"no!"

Daimaru didn't want to be like Gaara, who accepted a female disciple at a young age.

"Ninjutsu and fighting techniques are a bit similar to yours!"

Kurama Yakumo chuckled noncommittally.

Just like the tactics used by Daimaru when he was relatively weak, the change in the properties of wind-based chakra combined with close air manipulation does have the shadow of the past.

As a girl, Asakaze's physical strength and chakra are inferior to Daimaru's, and her tactical sophistication is even greater than Daimaru's.

For example, the body technique is even more ghostly. The close-quarters wind escape fighting technique, Sunflower Aolan Qing, was used with great proficiency, and he cut bloody marks on Uzumaki Naruto's body in just a few strokes.

When Daimaru gets close, he likes to use Yachimei and Wrist Electric Tsunefu, and ends with Makoto Moon because he has plenty of chakra.

"That girl seems to have the advantage, but if she can't defeat Uzumaki Naruto quickly, the result will not be good!"

"I know!"

Daimaru nodded.

The amount of chakra and physical strength are natural advantages, and it is natural for Uzumaki Naruto to rely on them to win.

only……

"It's so ugly!" The current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has a little more fighting ability and combat experience, but the rest is lackluster! 』

Daimaru, who had seen Uchiha Sasuke's recent strength, was a little disappointed with Uzumaki Naruto's performance.

Uzumaki Naruto, who seemed to be feeling exhausted from the beating, once again used the Shadow Clone Technique, this time with greater force. There were more than twenty figures in total, attacking from all directions, and a kunai rain came.

Unaware of any panic, Chaofeng formed seals with his hands, and a small amount of chakra gathered into light blue wings behind his back. Then he jumped up, dived, and accelerated towards Uzumaki Naruto.

"Can you fly without the help of wing armor? No! It seems you can only glide..."

Kurama Yakumo was shocked. He didn't expect that a ninja specializing in wind escape could put aside the puppet ninja tool after getting familiar with flying in wing armor.

Although the speed is a bit slower and the chakra consumption is more, the flexibility is much greater.

A stream of light flashed, and Uzumaki Naruto eagerly used his kunai to block Chaofeng's shuriken, but he could not withstand the impact and was knocked backwards.

Chaofeng was also blown away by the reaction force.

Unfortunately, Uzumaki Naruto, who was wounded all over, struggled to stand up. It seemed that he was fine. His slightly delicate Chaofeng wrist had already begun to tremble.

"Okay, that's it, Naruto!"

Jiraiya loudly stopped the short competition.

"I can still fight!"

The panting blond boy said a little unconvinced,

"I'm going to win soon..."

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to challenge Daimaru, but an inexplicable girl appeared. She didn't look very strong, but she couldn't win cleanly. It was a bit frustrating.

This made "Destiny's Child", who felt he had made a lot of progress, feel a little unbalanced.

"Okay! Stop being so petty!"

Jiraiya shouted in a rare serious voice,

"There is no shame in recognizing yourself! Your future is limitless, but you need more practice!"

"Jiraiya-senpai, children should be encouraged more!"

Daimaru persuaded with a smile,

“It’s already pretty good!”

"Let's see who we compete with!"

Jiraiya said vaguely, seeming to notice that his disciples, whose confidence was somewhat frustrated, needed to be comforted.

"This level is not much different from what I was back then!"

Jiraiya, who rarely spoke the truth, snorted coldly. They were both the tail end of the crane, so it was really not interesting to compete.

"That's it for today! Chaofeng, go and do your business!"

Daimaru waved his hand and put an end to the incident of Uzumaki Naruto, who had been out of the ninja world and was a bit swollen, challenging the "red dust" uncle.

"Naruto, at your age, your strength is not bad, but you are still a little behind Uchiha Sasuke..."
