Red sand dust

People who truly occupy high positions are very different from what ordinary people imagine.

In the ninja world, Senju Hashirama, who exists like a god, is a careless gambler; the third generation of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is not as kind-hearted as he seems, and uses the "telescope technique" to spy on women's bathhouses when nothing happens; the fifth generation of Tsunade In addition to good wine, he is also known as the "big fat sheep" in the ninja world. He has a great gambling habit, extremely bad luck, and a lot of debts.

The one who was so perfect that there was almost no fault to be found was the fourth generation, Minato Namikaze, who died young. Of course, it was also because he died early and his deeply hidden faults were not exposed yet.

As for big shots like Daimaru, who actually have nothing to do with "Neptune" but are known as "playboys", there are not many.

The bad thing is that he was not strong enough at the beginning and his reputation was not famous. He always wanted to live up to his fame, and he paid little attention to all kinds of rumors and rumors, and the results became more and more outrageous.

This was also due to the fact that Miss Sana was adding fuel to the flames. She wanted to ruin Daimaru's reputation so that her sister, Miss Saya, would stop interacting with Daimaru.

As a result, things backfired, and the two of them had more and more interactions for various reasons, leaving behind a stigma that almost everyone knew.

Among lower-class civilians with strong voyeuristic desires, once an unattainable big shot has a preconceived bad impression, it is even more difficult to reverse it.

Rather, many people are more willing to believe in the existence of a big man who is so powerful in most fields that people are desperate, but has a very "people-friendly" weakness, leaving nothing for idle housewives to talk about after dinner.

"It's great to be young!"

This was the second time that Terumi Mei looked at Daimaru, who was not yet twenty, and was so emotional. I couldn't help but sigh.

"You are no longer young, and there is a generation gap with the children of the next generation..."

Daimaru shook his head slightly,

"Ki Lan Man Yue from your village was also a very talented person, but it was a pity that he died young; Hatake Kakashi from Konoha Village was also a famous 'copy ninja' at my age, and he also had a 'golden flash' wave. Feng Shuimen, single-handedly ended the Third Ninja War, and became the fourth generation of Hokage..."

It is also appropriate to praise your allies a little. Almost all of the people here are geniuses who have shown extraordinary talents since childhood. In comparison, Daimaru, who has only been rising for two or three years, is still inferior in terms of reputation and qualifications. Not even close.

The three of them were chatting away. Tsunade glanced around calmly and signaled the ANBU who was watching to move away.

The sterile small talk is about to end, and the real core focus between allies comes next.

Tsunade asked directly to Daimaru who was not restrained at all:

"The Suna Ninja are doing quite a lot now. Are there any secrets that are not good for outsiders to know? As allies, we should be more honest to avoid misunderstandings..."

Daimaru, who had expected it, replied casually:

"As a ninja, how can we not have secrets? We are sure that those troubles will not become allies, and we have no intention of breaking the existing order..."

"Not necessarily..."

Tsunade probed inscrutably,

"The Kazekage Fifth Daime has been named the 'Grand Imperial Palace'. Although it is only a nominal title, it also makes people suspicious. The order of one village and one country has been established for so many years, and the ninja village and the daimyo have never been at odds with each other. Interfering, being a 'shadow' but accepting orders from the government is really contrary to tradition..."

It seems that the "Grand Imperial Palace", an honorary official rank that is basically given to retired "prime ministers" or Zen kings, does not have a substantial administrative office. If it is replaced by a traditional official or aristocrat, it is basically just a pension.

But the "Kage" who holds two positions is different. Originally, he only had practical interests and a team, but no righteousness to rule. Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage who was awarded the title of "Grand Palace", now has it.

Others may not understand the difference deeply. Everyone here has been in the position of "shadow", how could they not understand?

Daimaru understood that this was the first time that other ninja villages had expressed doubts about Suna Ninja's actions, but it was definitely not the last time. Daimaru said seriously:

"The Kingdom of Wind is different from other countries. Whether it is the government represented by the daimyo or the Sand Hidden Village led by the Kazekage, they cannot survive without each other. In-depth cooperation will be beneficial to both parties..."

"Can't we stop here?"

Mei Terumi's face was hard to express the complicated feelings in her heart. The Suna ninja who was originally on the same level as the Kiri ninja was having a good time, and she was not the fifth generation of the Mizukage.

"Those small countries that do not have a strong sense of existence have little influence. It is indeed necessary for the ninja village and the government to merge. Countries as large as the five major countries have also begun to implement integration. Sunagakure Village is still a pure ninja village. ?"

"Why not?"

Daimaru spread his hands,

"It's just a ninja village that has grown several times bigger and has several more attached settlements. The times are developing and the population is multiplying. It is impossible for the sand ninjas to live in one place and endure the cruel natural environment of the Kingdom of Wind without leaving. Are you pursuing a better life? Although ninjas are regarded as mission tools, they are also living people after all..."

Following Daimaru's answer, the scene suddenly fell silent. Tsunade habitually tapped the armrest of the chair with her fingers, and after thinking for a while, she asked:

"After all, it is another country's internal affairs, so we can't interfere too much. However, don't the officials and daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind have any objections?"

"What should I say?"

If I don't reveal some useful information, I probably won't be able to convince two older girls.

"The contemporary daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind is a very mediocre leader. He likes to demand justice from others, and he also creates a barrier for himself that cannot be crossed. Without the support of the daimyo, it is difficult for officials and traditional nobles to hinder the transformation of the ninja village, especially the wind. Conditions like those in the country..."

Almost all of it is worthless and barren land, and all of it is ownerless. At a negligible price, Sunagakure Village can seize the land and take over large areas of land as its own in a short period of time and transform them at will.

This is the disadvantage of the Kingdom of Wind, but at this moment it becomes the key to breaking the situation. By the time everyone reacts, it is already too late.

Tsunade sighed:

"Is it to induce him? The Daimyo of the Country of Fire is a very thoughtful and greedy person, and most other countries are similar. It seems that the Daimyo of the Country of Wind is too naive, and his education is a problem..."

Daimaru shrugged, not wanting to explain too much.

Whether it is a daimyo, aristocratic officials of various kinds, or a lower-class person rising up to be a commoner, the education and experience he receives are crucial and lay the foundation for his outlook on life and values.

Perhaps those noble people who have lived in bright new palaces without spending a penny are still lamenting that they took advantage of them.

"Knowledge brings conspiracy and crime, but ignorance can preserve a little dignity. Therefore, we must protect every innocent person's right to enjoy ignorance..."

After the words fell, Tsunade and Terumi Mei looked at each other after hearing the words.

"If the great names of your country knew that you commented on him like this, I'm afraid they would be unhappy..."

Daimaru waved his hand and sneered:

"No one will tell him this. His wish is to be a respected and wise monarch, and we will do what he wishes..."
