Red sand dust

The biting cold wind has been raging for nearly a week. After a slight pause, heavy snow fell from the sky again, and it fell intermittently for two days and three nights.

Just when the people of Konoha Village were still worried about whether their houses would be destroyed by the snowstorm, the gloomy sky finally cleared up.

When the sun rises, busy people have already begun to bring tools and shovel the snow that is almost up to their thighs to clear a path for passing pedestrians.

The scolding clerk used a small cart to transport the piled snow to a large truck arranged by the village. Finally, the arranged ninjas took it to a remote location.

The bad weather for a while has really made people who like liveliness a little unhappy, but the bad mood did not last long.

Except for a few old houses that need to be repaired, this heavy snowfall is not even a disaster.

I don't care that these children like this kind of excitement very much. They have been restrained for two days and they can't hold it back any longer. They run around wildly, having snowball fights and building snowmen.

For the naughty troublemakers, the most popular thing is to put the cold snowball into the collar of the back of the neck when the little girls are not paying attention, scaring them into crying and making a group of companions boo.

In the eyes of Daimaru, who has been the "King of Children" since he was a child, such a "game" is really too superficial.

I think back then, the "Red Sand Dust" uncle had never used such "gentle" methods. It almost never snowed in the Kingdom of Wind, and the sand everywhere was nothing to be afraid of. The girls in Sand Hidden Village had grown up with Scorpion and others. They were not too afraid of dealing with poisonous insects, but little things like frogs, chameleons, etc. that were moving, weird-looking, and had very smooth skin were the least lovable. Naturally, they became the best props for Daimaru to tease them.

Unfortunately, today's Daimaru can no longer appreciate the fun of this "game".

Arranging his subordinates who had nothing important to do to help restore order to Konoha Village, Daimaru and his apparent genius friend, Hyuga Neji, were sparring in a training ground outside the village.

Now the strength gap between the two is already very big, but Hyuga Neji is a serious jounin of Konoha Village, and his strength is rising rapidly. Compared with many experienced jounin, he is not too bad. .

It is definitely unrealistic to say that Daimaru can easily defeat him with just a few gestures. Without turning on the sage mode and using forbidden techniques, he would have to devote at least half of his energy to suppress it.

Hinata Neji, who was making a weird starting gesture, looked at Daimaru whose figure was flickering in and out, with a solemn expression.

It's clear that a living person is standing in front of you, but the information you perceive is very vague. If you don't open your Byakugan, you can't even tell what state your opponent is in.

"What a strange technique, incomplete invisibility, and can even interfere with Bai Yan's judgment. If it were before, I might not even be able to find where your body is, and be defeated by you..."

The Byakugan who was still weakened by the curse seal - the restriction of the caged bird in the past was simply unable to accurately grasp the changes that had taken place in Daimaru.

"Confidence is a good quality, but when it starts to become unreliable, it is very dangerous. When you reach our level, you should get used to the phrase 'Ninjas cannot be measured by common sense.' It is applicable to any field..."

Daimaru who said that disappeared under the cover of the whirlwind around him, and then appeared next to Hinata Neji in the blink of an eye. With a flick of his wrist, a continuous blue wind blade gathered into a rotating blade wheel and moved forward. Push forward and slash towards the opponent's shoulders, chest and abdomen.

Hyuga Neji, who was not afraid of danger, took two steps back. He lowered his upper body slightly and made a downward pressure with his hands. The condensed soft fist chakra around him was like a giant net woven from colorless ropes. Under the hood, the breeze was flowing. The collision of escape knives and wheels.

The sharp wind escape and the soft fist force competed, making a harsh sound, like broken glass sliding on the ground, which was uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Daimaru also increased his strength and pushed forward with one palm. The rotating knife wheel shattered and exploded suddenly. The impact was not large, but the power was very concentrated.

With the help of the reaction force, Daimaru flew back, looking at Hyuga Neji below who was also hurriedly dodging, letting the extremely powerful wind-pressed debris make a large hole in the ground, and then he looked diagonally upward at the charged Daimaru.

In a daze, Daimaru, who was still twenty or thirty meters away, disappeared again. Hyuga Neji, who had a bad secret, sensed that the enemy's chakra appeared in front and behind him at the same time.

"Shadow clone?" Or illusion? 』

The genius of the Hyuga family, who had no time to think, quickly activated Kaiten.

"Feng Huan·Wu Zhan!"

In the Wind Release Chakra Mode, even without the Sage Mode, the Wind Release used by Daimaru is not the same as the original power.

The two were exactly the same, just like the person in the opposite mirror, Daiwan used his hands with a faint light to explore the air waves of Rou Fist Technique and Kaitian. The fierce force of Feng escape cut through the so-called "absolute defense" A big hole.

Immediately afterwards, the hands of the two figures turned into claw blades and struck at the weak points. The wind escape threads, which were as small as cells, were controlled by twenty fingers and forcibly withstood the force of the catharsis, and then suddenly rotated, and Hyuga Neji's secret technique: Kaiten tearing in the opposite direction.

"Can you still break through to heaven like this?"

Hinata Neji was startled when he realized something was wrong. He passively stopped and quickly took emergency measures.

"Soft Boxing Technique: One hit to the body!"

Chakra all over his body spurted out from every pore, blocking the sudden rising air currents around him.

The fierce wind escape did not hurt him for a while, but his whole body was blown up into the sky by the whirlwind stirred up by the Ninja Technique: Wind Fantasy Dance. He was dizzy and before he even landed, he was hit by a chain-shaped compressed air ball full of chakra. After being hit, he was subjected to a fluctuating wind pressure, and he was about to be caught by Daimaru's hands.

"How could you lose so easily?"

Originally, he wanted to fight against three hundred confluences to prove that his efforts during this period were valuable, but in the end, he didn't even show any skills and was about to lose in embarrassment. Hyuga Neji didn't even bother to use an imperfect trick. , will it cause accidental injury?

"Soft Fist Technique·Big Sky Palm!"

Then, with the force of the downward thrust, he struck out with his palm from a high position. The momentum made Daimaru feel like a disaster was imminent, so he instinctively punched to catch it.

"Wind God Xi Chui!"

Transformed into the wind, the tip of the tornado faced off against Hinata Neji's meandering fist wind. The Wind Release Ninjutsu, which was blessed by the Wind Release Chakra mode, was actually at a disadvantage.

No, it's not that it's less powerful, but there's a huge difference in the frequency of attacks and the toughness of chakra.

The soft fist originally required precise control, but under the control of Hyuga Neji, it was like strands of steel needles intertwining vigorously and spiraling forward.

In Daimaru's perception, it was like a steel needle and a hammer with densely packed steel needles on its end. Daimaru's Wind Release was more like a silk cloth woven with continuous Wind Release silk threads, which was directly pierced.

"Iron fishing nets can stop the blows of swords and axes, and hammers and maces can't be penetrated, but they can't stop the rain of swords." Is this a coincidence, or did Bai Yan observe the characteristics of the wind escape I used and deliberately target it? 』

During the battle, Hyuga Neji will definitely not give an answer, but the battle must have a result.

Under the distortion of the light, he saw Daimaru, whose position was somewhat erratic. The wind pressure shield on his body was cut by the scattered and repulsive energy. Hinata Neji slashed it with one palm, and blocked Daimaru with his arm. He had just evaded it urgently. , dodged Kabutou's knife, and felt his wrist flicked by Hinata Neji's attack.

"Did you succeed? But is your hand broken?"

Hinata Neji, who was still hesitating whether he had struck too hard, suddenly felt his hair stand on end. Before he even hit the ground, he saw Daimaru, who was a few meters away, suddenly disappearing from his consciousness.

"Ninja Art: Hyoga!"

Hyuga Neji, who had secretly secretly had bad intentions, was instantly grabbed by a cold hand on the back of his neck, and then was pressed hard to the ground. Before the boy who had "close contact" with the gravel had time to fight back, the vital part of his cervical spine was crushed. Buttoned.

"If I take one more move from Qin Yueyin, your head will be turned into paste."

After hearing this, Hyuga Neji suddenly relaxed and gave up resistance to show his resignation.

"It's been almost half a year, and I've only taken a few more moves in your hands. You haven't used your full strength yet..."

The genius boy with a wry smile wiped the blood on his forehead and eyebrows that almost obscured his vision, stretched his sore muscles and said,

"Sometimes, I feel like your evaluation of my 'genius' is mocking me..."

"You are making progress, and I am not idle either! My starting point is higher, and every step forward, although very difficult, is a qualitative leap; you are much worse, and are still in the accumulation stage. When you have accumulated a lot of experience, you will I can feel it..."

Daimaru shrugged and waved his broken wrist, a whirlwind swirled around and condensed into the shape of a palm,

"Look at this, the Wind Escape Chakra Mode is immortal in a sense, but the chakra consumed is too terrifying. If you don't grasp the timing well, or make a miscalculation, you will commit suicide and die without a complete body... "

"Can this be done?"

Hyuga Neji, who was originally worried about whether Daimaru would be crippled, suddenly looked at Daimaru in surprise as he gradually returned to his original form.

"I always feel like you...can't be considered a ninja anymore!"

"If a super human who uses chakra power is defined as a ninja, then I would still..."

"All right!"

Hyuga Neji nodded tentatively in agreement.

In fact, the word "ninja" originally means "a person who can endure", who endures pain, torture and adversity, and through cruel practice, acquires power beyond ordinary people and completes mortal tasks.

To put it bluntly, ninjas are originally dead warriors raised by nobles and nobles. They are just low-class people who can be sacrificed in exchange for profit tools.

This is completely different from the modern ninja who now emphasizes spiritual will, begins to care about humanity, and even fights for the so-called honor.

Putting these boring trivial matters aside, Hinata Neji took a breath, took the water bottle handed over by Daimaru, took a few sips, cleared his throat and asked:

"What do you think of my current strength?"

"Very strong, a little stronger than I imagined!"

After Daimaru thought for a while, he said in detail,

"A little stronger than the examiner in our Chunin Examination three years ago - Moonlight Hayate. Even in the previous Ninja World War, he was also a general..."

"How does it compare to my teacher, Metkai?"

"It's really lofty and ambitious..."

Daimaru smiled and patted the little brother opposite on the shoulder.

"If it's just a sparring match, you can fight him for 300 rounds, and eventually you'll be so tired that you give up. But if you really do it, you probably won't be able to survive ten moves. If it's a fight to the death..."

Daimaru paused and sighed slightly:

"Even if all the ninjas in your Hyuga family are added together, they may not be able to defeat you..."

"Is it that strong?"

Hinata Neji asked again in surprise. Seeing Daimaru's half-smiling expression, he suddenly came to his senses.

"You mean...the Eight-door Dunjia Formation?"

"I don't even dare to fight against the Konoha blue beast that has a death wish, so..."

Daimaru teaches the truth that is universally applicable,

"Don't fight with a master who doesn't even care about your life, because you don't know what tricks he will come up with that will kill you both and surprise you..."

Hyuga Neji must have heard a lot of stories about trapped beasts still fighting. The madness of a guy who doesn't even want his life is difficult to think about, especially a martyr who is powerful and has some forbidden arts that overdraft his body. Normal people will do it. Feel terrible.

"The Eight Gate Dunjia Formation actually has such potential?"

Daimaru shook his head slightly:

"It's your teacher who is powerful, not the technique itself. Your teammate Rock Lee is not good at it now. Even if he is desperately overdrawn, he can't even open the sixth door now."

"That's pretty awesome!"

Hyuga Neji breathed a sigh of relief. If someone could open the Eight Gates of Armor, he would be able to sweep through the invincibles. It would be too embarrassing for other ninjas.

"So, they are talented, and they are rare geniuses?"

"Cheer up, you're not bad either!"

Daimaru gave an encouraging look,

"I just discovered some time ago that people from your Hyuga family... no, anyone who is powerful enough to a certain extent may be able to obtain the power of the Samsara Eye..."

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that the Rinnegan is the product of the Sharingan raised to its limit? Is it possible that the Byakugan can turn into the Rinnegan?"

Hinata Neji asked in surprise, and Daimaru responded:

"No, no, to be precise, when you are strong enough, you can sacrifice yourself, refine it into the fruit of the sacred tree, and let others eat it. Then you can be like the 'Goddess of Mao', have the Eye of Reincarnation, or open the world. Three eyes..."

This thing is a bit like a demonic monk who sows a large number of seeds. Once a lucky person among them is strong enough, he can throw it into the alchemy furnace and refine it into a nine-turn golden elixir. If he eats it, he will live forever, have blazing eyes and so on. Such as Monkey Sun or Erlang Shen.

Think about the power inherited from the sacred tree and the Otsutsuki clan. Almost every level has its own plan. However, under the appearance of competition and mutual penetration between ninjas and the Otsutsuki clan, they are actually the ninja world and the invaders. duel.

The Sacred Tree and the Otsutsuki clan want to harvest the Ninja World to produce more Sacred Tree Fruits, and the Ninja World may also be interested in the power inheritance of the "outsiders".
