Red sand dust

Injuries are very common for ninjas, and it is very possible to accidentally injure yourself during training.

Temari's injury was not serious, but it was definitely far from her intact state. Brother and sister Kankuro escorted Gaara and escaped for a long time without encountering a single Sand Ninja.

The way forward is in doubt, and the pursuers behind are pressing forward step by step. In an isolated and helpless situation, Daimaru's help, although it is not a strong support, can always come in handy, which is better than nothing.

Daimaru picked up the three-star fan that fell aside, put it on his waist, then took Temari's arm, carried her on his back, and quickly headed towards the direction where Kankuro and Gaara escaped.

"You... don't worry about me, just let me rest alone for a while. You should catch up with Kankuro as soon as possible. Gaara's condition is getting worse..."

"What are you talking about? I can't leave you alone like this. With you and Kankuro, I can still have a few words with Gaara. I'm alone, and I might be beaten to death by Gaara who doesn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy...

If you die in the Konoha Village, you can still be called a hero. If you die at the hands of Gaara, you may not even get a pension. If you die in vain, I won't do it! "

"How could the village be so stingy?"

Temari retorted dissatisfiedly,

"You guys are talking nonsense again! The C-level mission was 'dead' once, and it was nicknamed 'Red Sand Dust'. It's already worthy of your meager contribution..."

"It's not about anything practical. It's just a false reputation. How much is it worth?"

If Daimaru really died more than half a year ago, and lost his mother Wu Ye and grandfather Hechen, who were the main breadwinners of the family, would the village support him for the rest of his life? It’s impossible even to think about!

"Not greedy enough..."

Thinking of Daimaru's farce-like past reputation, Temari couldn't help but chuckled,

"I thought you were just trying to get close to me so you didn't want to leave me behind..."

"near?"

Daimaru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized,

"That's right. It's obviously the first time to be so close..."

As Daiwan said this, he couldn't help but smell the smell.

"It smells quite good, but it smells a bit sweaty..."

boom……

His elbow slammed into the back of Daimaru's head, causing Daimaru to stumble and almost fall from the tree as he was unable to react.

"You idiot, it's you who stinks so much, don't falsely accuse me..."

"Don't hit your head. What if you become stupid? I just rely on my intelligence to make a living..."

"If you were smarter and said less words, I might think highly of you..."

"I'll try my best!"

Human beings finally have a mouth, not just for eating. If they don't speak, they will be suffocated to death!

Looking at the face in front of her that didn't seem to listen at all, Temari couldn't help but sigh.

"You guy, you have no idea what you are thinking..."

To be called stupid, it's not that bad. He can come up with so many crooked pranks. His brain should not be hard to use. Temari has also seen the ability to make decisions and then act. He has a talent for ninjutsu. It can't be said to be amazing, but he is. It's considered top-notch.

But how can smart people do so many stupid things that make people laugh or cry?

When he was a child, Daimaru was just an unpleasant bad boy. Unexpectedly, when he grew up, he became even more unpredictable.

"What don't you understand? Aren't my emotions always written on my face? It's clear at a glance..."

"Then thank you very much for your honesty..."

If this big idiot was a little more reserved, he wouldn't be so annoying...

"Haha, this is also one of my advantages..."

"I'm not complimenting you!"

As if sensing the fluctuation of chakra in the distance, Daimaru couldn't help but quicken his pace. Temari, who was hugging Daimaru's neck slightly, said angrily,

"I thought you would take advantage of it to do something, but I didn't expect that you are still a bit of a gentleman with your dirty words!"

"Don't talk like I'm a monkey in heat all the time!"

Daimaru looked up at the sky. High in the sky, the Eyes of the Sand following him seemed to notice a hint of discordant movement.

"When you say that, I take it as a compliment, but why can't I be happy at all?"

"Feeling guilty?"

"How can you not? If you are so curious, do you think it is inappropriate for me not to do something that you would like to see? Then I am not polite..."

"no!"

As if she was complaining that Daimaru was indifferent because of her lack of charm, Temari slapped Daimaru's big face aside and turned her head towards him.

"Watch the road ahead carefully and don't do unnecessary things!"

"Stingy, there is no reward at all, even though I have worked so hard!"

Looking at Daimaru muttering dissatisfiedly, Temari laughed and said:

"When did you know that the 'plan' existed? It was obviously a narrow escape mission, so why did you go to all the trouble to participate?"

"It just happened before I knew it..."

"It's really not a straightforward answer..."

Temari was not satisfied with such a vague answer.

Temari was willing to come to Konoha Village to participate in the Joint Chunin Examination to perform tasks, not just because of her boss's orders. With two uneasy younger brothers here, she could not rest assured as a sister.

Being around Gaara was really not a pleasant experience. If she hadn't been with Kankuro, Temari might have been too frightened to hold on; Kankuro, who had a worse relationship with Gaara, probably wouldn't be much better. She was so frightened that she couldn't eat on more than one occasion.

But the two siblings still escorted Gaara here!

Brave people are not born brave and fearless, just because they cannot let go of the fetters of blood.

But what is Daimaru doing with a frown on his face and his mind on his way?

Probably...maybe...

"It's just because he's an idiot who doesn't understand the situation!" 』

After a moment of silence, Temari suddenly asked:

"Aren't you... afraid?"

"Huh? You talked a lot today. In just a moment, you talked to me more than you have in more than ten years. Are you frightened by Uchiha Sasuke?"

"More than ten years? How can it be that exaggerated..."

The corners of Temari's mouth twitched,

"I'm not that timid. I won't be so frightened that I need to chatter for comfort just because I lose the battle, and I will disappoint you..."

"Really!"

Daimaru glanced at Temari, who seemed a little angry, with the corner of his eyes in confusion.

"That's good. I'll be able to hold on when I encounter something more terrifying later! As for being afraid, I'm really afraid of dying here inexplicably...

I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have imagined more than once what I would do to win your heart if I encountered today's scene. However, when things come to an end, I feel like they are all of no use..."

Daimaru said, showing a complicated smile,

"The battlefield is really not a good place to fall in love..."
