Red sand dust

If Konoha Genin Team 8 had stopped before, there would have been no chance of being plotted by Daimaru.

Being merciless does not mean that there is no backup plan. When these three people and one dog caught up again, they had already fallen into the trap and were just waiting for Daimaru to take action.

"Although you stopped us, Naruto and the others have already passed. Don't underestimate him..."

"You don't need to remind me about this, I have my own sense of discretion!"

Finally, there was Rock Lee, whose hands and feet were weak and his whole body was so sore that he couldn't help himself.

"Why... why are you here? Your teammates are taking care of the injured Hinata Neji every day. Wouldn't it be nice for you to be with them too?"

"There is a battle I want here. My companions need me. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. They are also the opponents I want to challenge and the people I want to protect..."

"It's just a simple thought. You can't use this body of yours, right? The outer Renka is the limit. You may be outstanding among the genin, but what does it matter on the battlefield?"

"Hard work, perseverance, and love. In order to protect the important people, you will fight to the death. Even though your positions are different, aren't you taking risks here? Aren't you afraid?"

"Really! Sometimes I also wonder if my troubles are caused by thinking too much..."

Daimaru stood up and said after thinking for a while,

"Let me tell you a story. There was a ninja who was an ordinary person with little ambition and didn't want to meddle in too many other things. He became a ninja just because it was easier to make money in this profession! But one day, the war came, and he... Tian was so frightened that his compatriots laughed at him when they saw him like this. The leader also thought that he would be useless and advised him not to go to the battlefield, but he still insisted on going, and later..."

"Did he die in battle? He was such an ordinary and brave man..."

Rock Lee rushed to say.

"No!"

Daimaru shook his head,

"Before I went to the front line, I was scared to death."

"ah!"

The passionate Rock Lee's face froze,

"He is really a difficult person to figure out!"

Even the three genin of Konoha Genin Class 8 who were observing were confused by this unclear story.

"Do you think this ninja is brave or a coward?"

Daimaru asked warmly.

"You must be a coward if you were scared to death before even going to the battlefield!"

Inuzuka Kiba laughed and said,

"How can such a guy be called brave?"

Rock Lee retorted:

"Even though he was so scared, he still bravely went to the battlefield. How could he be a coward?"

Shino Aburame and Hinata Hinata were hesitant, not knowing which side to choose.

After Daimaru finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"The poison in your body can last for a while if you stay calmly, but if you move around, you can't say for sure. Of course, you are lucky if you can get rescue and detoxification... I will give you a glimmer of hope, even if you didn't have it just now Kill me as compensation!"

Although Daimaru still has some possibility of pretending to be dead and escaping, there is no guarantee that he will be foolproof.

"etc!"

Rock Lee stopped Daimaru and asked,

"Do you think that's brave or cowardly?"

Daimaru turned around and replied:

"Doing something you know you can't do, if you succeed, you are brave, if you fail, you are extremely stupid."

Only by overcoming the cowardice in oneself can one be qualified to be judged as brave. It's just that there are so many stupid people in the world, which makes courage so valuable.

There is a thin line between bravery and recklessness.

Daimaru thinks that he has nothing to do with bravery, he just does stupid things occasionally.

If he were really smart, he wouldn't put himself in such a dangerous situation.

Daimaru smiled mockingly:

"That's it for today. I still have things to do... I hope we can meet again. May God bless you!"

Daimaru waved his hand, said goodbye to the Konoha ninjas, turned around and disappeared into the primitive jungle. After running wildly for a long time, he found a hidden place to stop and take a breath.

"It's really... interesting!"

Taking risks is actually addictive. Otherwise, why would there be so many guys who like extreme sports?

The benefits and sense of accomplishment from a successful adventure will make people enjoy it endlessly, and then gradually become addicted. In the end, they cannot escape the sad fate of death.

The gains of countless successes are not worth the loss of one failure. It's like a leek that has been in the stock market for ten years and was once destitute. The hard-earned money in the bear market is like the kind of person who buys the wrong stock in the bull market and loses all the capital and profits.

Not far away, the second stand-in puppet, which had been hiding its figure, was on guard against possible enemies.

Daimaru put down the puppet Temari on his shoulder and took off the clothes on his upper body, revealing dark purple lines like leaf veins.

A trace of light blue halo flashes like running water, which is the transmission of chakra.

However, as time passed, the dark purple lines combined with the chakra, emitting a trace of steam and disappearing into the air.

It seems that before long, the pathway that helps Daimaru maintain part of the extracorporeal circulation of chakra will completely fail.

Not only that, although temporarily changing the flow of local chakra can relieve the pressure of refining chakra on the injured body, the pain caused by the rejection reaction is also quite intense.

"I really don't understand how the Red Sand Scorpion can withstand the pain of transforming itself into a human puppet. I just had a 'minor surgery' and I almost couldn't bear it... Sure enough, is it because I'm not perverted enough?"

How can normal people endure this suffering? Humans like Daimaru who have "ordinary" attributes should not compete with non-human beings.

After lying on the pill for a while, the raging chakra fluctuations in the body slowly calmed down, and the pain temporarily eased a lot, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You will never be able to plant this kind of temporary control device on yourself in the future. Even if you want to use it, priority should be given to using module mounting to implement it, such as extracorporeal respiration, blood circulation and other life-support devices!" 』

For example, make a vest with a universal interface and put it on your body. When you need any ability, you can install the corresponding parts and use it.

The difficulty of this thing is not necessarily unbelievable, but it costs too much. Just a disposable thing like Daimaru's body is already very distressing.

But now, they have to rely on this opportunistic method to maintain limited combat effectiveness.

The Hyuga family's soft fist chakra is very tough. After being penetrated into the human body, it can stay in the meridians for a long time, making it impossible for people to use the chakra.

Without medical ninjas to help with recovery, you can only wait for it to dissipate naturally.

During this period of time, the chakra cannot be refined from Daiwan, and even the puppet technique cannot be used. Without some special means, wouldn't it be at the mercy of others?

Daimaru, who had barely passed the first level, was not completely out of danger yet, and Gaara needed to complete his tailed beast transformation as soon as possible.
