Red sand dust

The deep worry engraved in the soul of the Sunagakure. After overlooking the village from the highest point of Sunagakure Village, Gaara and Daimaru understood that things like puppetry were too deeply controlled by external objects.

Even the forbidden art, Human Puppet Art, requires many powerful ninjas as living sacrifices to exert its power.

The manufacturing of traditional puppets requires a huge demand for high-quality wood and chakra metal. It would be fine if they were just used as low-end products for apprentices and genin training. The puppets that can appear in big scenes such as ninja wars are all Not a simple thing.

Even the materials used by Daimaru to cultivate biological puppets require a lot of special culture fluids.

If we only relied on a few collection points in the Kawa Country in the past, it would definitely not be able to support it. Now there are the coastal Naruto Village and Awaji Village, backed by the vast sea, which can barely meet Daimaru's needs.

However, no matter how clever the puppet is, it must be controlled by a ninja above the level.

There is no doubt that regardless of the quantity and quality of talents, Sunagakure Village is almost at the bottom of the five great ninja villages. It can only survive due to the support of efficient elite cultivation policies and geographical conditions that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And this kind of route is obviously a quick success move that consumes future potential. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to disaster. For example, in the past two years, you almost couldn't even choose a reliable Kazekage.

Compared with Konoha Village, which has several or even dozens of "kage" candidates waiting for the job, the gap in Sunagakure Village is really huge.

Because of this, even if Daimaru created a series of powerful puppets, it was still difficult to find suitable users. Enriching the reserve force also required a step-by-step process. Two years was still a little too short.

As for the sage mode above the standard, it is really not something that Daimaru is proud of. Even if he prepared a lot of auxiliary methods, Gaara is the only one who has a slim hope of achieving it.

"Whether it's ordinary 'psychic puppets', early wing armors, improved human puppets and regenerative cores, or current puppet breeding equipment, the purpose I set for the 'Cradle Garden' and 'artificial elves' has always been It is to open up a broad road from Five Elements Escape Technique to Immortal Technique..."

Just like Orochimaru initially mastered the senjutsu chakra of Ryuji Cave through the curse seal, Daimaru needs a sand ninja version of Jugo and the curse seal.

Even with the protection of magical puppets and Daimaru, it is still too difficult for ordinary ninjas to cultivate the sage mode. Not only is the success rate low, but it is also very dangerous.

In the near future, the resurrected Uchiha Madara mastered the wood escape through the pillar cells transplanted into his body, and mastered the immortal method by absorbing the chakra of the first generation.

The latter is not universal, but there are still successful cases of the former, such as Shimura Danzo and Tenzo, Uchiha Obito, etc.

What Daimaru wants to do is precisely the latter, which is the most difficult. Because of the magical puppet technique, he can actually avoid the very dangerous surgery of transplantation. Using an external puppet or internal transplantation device is enough, even if there is a backlash , just peel it off and replace it with a model that has smooth rejection and small integration.

First use ordinary inheritance, such as wind release, sand manipulation ninjutsu and illusion, spiritual magic and ordinary puppetry to improve your adaptability. Among the thousands of sand ninjas, there will always be one who can satisfy Daimaru's sage mode. Require.

Under extremely low probability conditions, if you want to succeed, you must first adopt more sophisticated cultivation techniques, and then increase the number and try more times.

Even if it doesn't happen for a while, it can actually achieve the purpose of improving the overall strength of the Sand Ninja. Why not?

I had never heard Daimaru talk about it before, but I could barely guess a rough idea from the clues. Gaara asked calmly:

"Now, how far is it going?"

Daimaru responded in a low voice:

"In addition to what you have seen so far, there is already a success story that is not representative..."

"Huh? How come I haven't heard of it..."

"Because I'm not a sand ninja..."

Uchiha Sasuke's initial success is not entirely due to Daimaru, it can be regarded as the result of the joint efforts of the right people at the right time and the right place.

"That……"

Gaara opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally asked in confusion,

"Is there no problem with being so careless?"

"When have you ever seen me make a losing deal?"

Daimaru was a little reserved and somewhat proudly replied,

"If you don't take advantage of the situation, I would be showing mercy..."

Daimaru's Sage Mode practice method requires very special prerequisites. Even if Uchiha Sasuke learns it, it will be difficult to teach it to a third person unless he can spend half his life studying puppetry, biotechnology, and spiritual mysticism. , and all of them have been advanced to a level that is even more powerful than the normal blood inheritance limit.

Any of these is a field that requires a stunning genius to spend a lifetime studying to achieve results. Look at Orochimaru, who has been playing with biotechnology for a lifetime, and it took several years before he had a relatively mature one. Artificial Human Technology.

"I'm just reminding you, it's best if you can grasp the scale..."

"Stop talking about this..."

Daimaru waved his hand, changed the subject and asked,

"How far have you practiced the practice of absorbing natural energy?"

Gaara replied:

"The perception is acceptable, but active absorption is difficult. The natural energy concentration of the Kingdom of Wind seems a bit low..."

"It's not just the Kingdom of Wind, the entire ninja world is like this..."

Daimaru explained,

"This may involve some ancient secrets, and I don't know the detailed reason..."

It may be caused by the excessive absorption of the sacred tree, or it may be caused by the three major psychic beast races. At least the natural energy concentration in Ryūchi Cave, Miaomu Mountain and Shigu Forest far exceeds the ninja world, and this is also the stable inheritance of alien immortals. , one of the reasons why humans in the ninja world are almost unable to practice the sage mode.

To use an analogy that is not very accurate, two tailed beasts are fighting to the death, regardless of victory or defeat. In the end, their strength fails, and then they suddenly exert force, absorbing the natural energy within dozens of kilometers and converting it into tailed beast chakra. For personal use, it is still unknown whether the natural energy is replenished quickly or absorbed quickly.

Gaara was actually not very interested in the mystery, so he continued:

"It would be much easier if I used the puppet costume you gave me, but the natural energy absorbed by foreign objects is not easy to manipulate..."

The usage that Gaara has discovered so far is to mix it into ordinary ninjutsu to enhance its power, or even simply concentrate the natural energy, then explode it violently, and fire it out like a tailed beast cannon.

To put it simply, it is a natural energy bomb. This kind of utilization mode is completely contrary to the immortal mode that requires fine control.
