Red sand dust

Being a human being in two lifetimes, Daimaru really didn't expect that he would have to bear the trouble of being forced to get married when he was only sixteen years old.

But Daimaru had no intention of arguing with his grandfather Kazuma.

As an old man, he is just a traditional villager of Sunagakure Village, and his lifelong rural concepts cannot be explained by Daimaru in a few words.

Daimaru, who knew that the love and generation gap was irreparable, agreed with a perfunctory smile along the way, but he didn't agree in his heart.

After arriving home, he stayed for a while, and then left after eating dinner.

Daimaru returned to the apartment, rested for a while, and took out the damaged stand-in puppet.

"It's really miserable. If you want to repair it, it will cost a lot of money!"

…

Just when Daimaru, who is heavily in debt, is worrying about how to make money, the drama among the top management of Sunagakure Village has just begun.

Temari, Kankuro and Gaara sat in silence near the door.

Although he was allowed to attend, it was only because of the dignity of the children of his late Kazekage.

Major events in the village have nothing to do with them who have lost their father.

The majestic Jonin sitting near the front patted the table.

"After discussing it for so long, is there no motion to make a decision?"

The noise stopped.

"We can't reach an agreement! Without Kazekage, we can't decide anything!"

The senior Jonin Sunagami hated the current leaderless situation, but the Suna ninjas who were arguing endlessly couldn't even choose a reliable Kazekage.

Dingshi, who was sitting next to Sunakami and listened, said unhappily:

"If Luo Sha dies, we can't do anything and let others laugh?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gaara, who had his eyes closed and remained calm, and murmured in a low voice:

"Pretending! So many people died, why can this monster escape!"

"Shut up!"

Huang Sha, the leader, shouted loudly,

"No matter what, that's the Kazekage Yondaime. You'd better understand your position!"

"knew!"

Knowing that he made a mistake, he stopped looking away and stopped talking nonsense.

Such a meeting will be useless no matter how long it is held. It won't decide anything anyway.

Maki, who was sitting below, looked at Gaara with a normal expression; Kankuro had a fierce look on his face; Temari seemed a little calm, but the three-star fan attached to her back calmly changed its angle.

"Even if you can't choose the Kazekage Fifth Generation, you must at least have an acting Kazekage. Otherwise, how can the negotiations with the Leaf Village proceed?"

Although young, Ryusha suggested calmly.

"acting?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the thoughtful Marky!

"I?"

Markey stood up,

"Isn't it too hasty to decide like this?"

Sunagakure Village is even more destitute than Konoha Village, and there are basically few powerful jounin left.

Ma Ji, who was in his early thirties, was obviously far ahead of the others among the jounin in his prime, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task by Luo Sha.

Although Longsha's suggestion was to recommend Feng Ying's agent, it was not as simple as it sounds.

The acting Kazekage is also the legitimate leader of Sunagakure Village. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, there is no reason to depose him. It is natural for him to become the Fifth Kazekage.

As for the senior officials who control the power of Sunagakure Village, it is difficult to say whether they are willing to have the Kazekage Fifth Daime over their heads.

Markey is actually a little tempted. He is confident and has extraordinary leadership skills, so he may be the most suitable candidate at the moment.

However, Markey unexpectedly refused.

"Without Chiyo and Ebizo here, these people are discussing who will succeed the Kazekage. Isn't it a little too arrogant?" 』

Ma Ji knew that even if Luo Sha was gone, there would still be a leader in Sand Hidden Village.

It would not be a good thing if Ma Ji, who had no support from a powerful faction, was pushed to the position of Feng Ying by these people with ulterior motives.

"Since you don't want to, forget it! However, you still need to come forward to host the peace talks with Konoha Village!"

Sunage, who had some concerns and hoped to reach an armistice agreement as soon as possible, finally came to a conclusion.

"Can!"

Ma Ji, who had dealt with the Leaf Village several times, was not opposed to such a task.

"That's it. Let's discuss the second item!"

Jonin Sadaishi opened the documents on the table and said loudly,

"The punishment for Temari, Kankuro and Gaara escaping without authorization..."

As for why there was no Daimaru, it was because he was not included in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" in the first place, so there was no fault.

"We are just following orders, don't slander the ninjas who fight for the village..."

Kankuro argued angrily.

"correct!"

Markey confirmed,

"I asked Temari and Kankuro to leave temporarily with the injured Gaara!"

"If I understand correctly, "temporarily leaving" does not mean letting them escape back to Sunagakure Village, right?"

Dingshi looked at Gaara who said nothing with contempt,

"You are so calm! The weapons that you had high hopes for were not used, otherwise so many compatriots would not have died in the battle..."

"Dingshi, pay attention to your wording, it's a bit too much!"

Longsha, who was always cautious, frowned and retorted,

"We haven't given any characterization of Gaara's actions yet..."

"Just based on a genin's one-sided words, do you believe that they are not wrong?"

Mask had not returned yet, and although he did send a team including Viper to deliver new orders to Gaara and the others, it was obviously unsuccessful and everyone died.

"Only one genin claimed to have encountered a viper, and then received a temporary mission to ask Gaara and the others to give up their plan to retreat. Isn't this too childish? Maybe they were afraid of the battle and ran away, but they didn't expect that there was actually an order to retreat... "

The scene suddenly fell silent following Ding Shi's words.

The eldest and slightly more prestigious Sunagami broke the dull atmosphere:

"Dingshi, don't use your conjectures to criticize your compatriots, otherwise, we will doubt whether you are still qualified to sit here. Can you really still be a consultant elder representing the interests of all villagers after losing your public spirit?"

Huang Sha nodded and said in agreement with Sha Shang:

"You are a bit disappointing today. If you continue to be so ignorant, you can replace Fu Yi and guard the north gate!"

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure Village is already weak. If even the basic trust on the battlefield is lost, what hope is there to support the pride of Sunagakure Village?

"yes!"

Although the Jonin present did not have a clear superior-subordinate relationship, there was still a hierarchy of status, which was a sure way to anger everyone, and he did not dare to get into trouble again at this time.

"Very good! If everyone here cannot set an example and disregard the interests of the village for their own selfishness, then the Sand Ninja will really be doomed. We have nothing now, and we must work together to tide over the difficulties..."
