Red sand dust

"Only you?"

Through the thick glass window, Temari looked outside. It was pitch black and there seemed to be no one else.

"Besides me, how many puppet masters can quickly shuttle through such a raging sandstorm?"

Daimaru smiled and replied,

"If something goes wrong, those compatriots who are in trouble can't wait..."

"With this kind of weather flying around in the sky, you are so brave..."

Even if you are a Jonin, although you are not afraid, you don't like to go out at this time. It is dark and the wind and sand are raging. It would be nice to be able to identify the direction in the sky.

Even if he is ridiculed as a brave guy with great skills, everyone present has to admire his strength.

"It doesn't matter..."

Daimaru waved his hand,

"Actually, taking off and landing are very dangerous, but climbing to a certain height is relatively smooth."

The wind on the ground is more complicated, and if you make a mistake, it will easily be blown over. The wind at high altitude is strong, but it is very regular. As long as you adjust the flight attitude, it will save more effort.

"I guess there are too many tasks, and the guy who sent them is also dizzy. The familiar puppet Spider Kankuro is here, why do you need me?"

This brother-in-law, who has a somewhat sinister face, is not a puppet stylist, but at least he participated in the process of designing and manufacturing the puppet Spider, and he still has the ability to repair and maintain it.

However, since they came, Daimaru did not bother others anymore and patiently inspected more than a dozen puppets and spiders.

Nowadays, Daimaru is becoming more and more proficient in making puppets. With such a simple puppet, you can roughly judge whether there is a fault by tapping the key parts and listening to the sound.

After eliminating a few small hidden dangers, Daimaru put on his helmet, mask and goggles.

"Got to go?"

Temari said,

"At this time, everything is probably safe..."

"who knows……"

Daimaru shrugged.

"The sand and dust are shrouded, and all communication is almost interrupted. Even if we encounter trouble, we can't call for help. That's why I was asked to go take a look..."

With that said, the burly young man opened the door and walked out.

"You guys should go to bed early, you will still be busy tomorrow..."

The desert locust plague is not over yet, and the night is only temporarily over. It is necessary to find out as soon as possible whether the sudden sandstorm disturbed these little bugs, causing them to change direction or speed up.

If we wait until daybreak and find that the situation has changed, it will be too late to urgently adjust the defense line.

At the speed of the above ninjas, it would take about three or four days to get from Konoha Village to Sunagakure Village. If we persist for another one or two days, the insect envoys from the Aburame family will arrive. With such strong support, Sunagakure will be able to No need to be so strenuous.

Kankuro yawned and sat lazily on the bench.

"After a busy day, you are still so energetic. That guy Daimaru has incredible physical strength and chakra..."

A relatively mature ninja's strength generally does not fluctuate greatly, especially chakra and physical strength, which require persistent practice and exercise to steadily improve.

"Even Yeme and Qian, two originally humble genin, are now much stronger than before..."

As a down-and-out young master, Kankuro would be deceiving himself if he was not envious at all. But as a puppet master, his own strength is greatly affected by puppets. If he wants to improve quickly, the fastest way is to obtain a powerful puppet.

However, Kankuro, who had already obtained the most talented puppet stylist in the history of the village - Crow and Black Ant, the work of the Red Sand Scorpion before his disappearance, where could he find a more powerful puppet?

Temari took off her three-star fan, leaned against the wall, took out a small blanket from her backpack, covered her body, and nestled in the corner to rest.

"If you have time to complain, you might as well practice hard. I see that you are always busy with Daimaru, and I don't see much progress in you..."

"That's why I'm surprised. He's so busy and doesn't have much more time to practice than me. How come his strength improves so quickly? Has he awakened some powerful blood successor limit?"

"How would I know!"

Temari closed her eyes, hugged her knees with her hands, lowered her head and fell asleep,

"You will understand if you ask him yourself..."

"It's hard to speak!"

Kankuro sighed,

"Don't you think it's strange that the secret technique that Daimaru named 'Star Puppet Thread'? It's a bit too strong. The spiritual technique is already very difficult to understand, and it's even more difficult to combine it with the chakra thread. He has never learned illusions before, so it’s strange that he can figure this out on his own..."

As Kankuro spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his voice and asked,

"Temari, do you think Saya taught him this?"

"It's not Saya, I should have learned it from Kurama Yakumo. I had never heard of Daimaru learning genjutsu before, but he suddenly learned it after the chunin exam..."

The first time Daimaru used the star puppet line in front of Temari and Kankuro was when he dealt with Uchiha Sasuke and was reversely eroded by the curse seal.

At that time, the two siblings were not aware of the problem with that secret technique, but they later realized how powerful that technique was.

"Kurama Yakumo? It's possible! If that's the case, then the relationship between Daimaru and her is unusual..."

"Stop thinking blindly! Just think about the tactics of manipulating puppets in your head. This kind of thing is not your strong point..."

Temari said angrily,

"There are still a few hours until dawn. If you don't take the time to take a nap, whether you can hold on tomorrow will be a problem. At such a critical moment, you can't delay..."

"knew!"

Lying unceremoniously on the chair, the puppet master wrapped in a quilt turned over, muttered a few words and said no more.

…

At an altitude of more than 1,500 meters and nearly 2,000 meters, Daimaru stretched out its chakra wings and hovered in the strong wind. It deflected the weak light nearby, hid itself, and watched the movement below vigilantly.

The sand and dust stirred up by strong winds are only densest below two hundred meters. The higher you go up, the stronger the wind, but the visibility increases rapidly. It is difficult for the sand to be blown to this height.

The altitude of nearly two thousand meters is not too difficult for the ninja, but he already feels a little short of breath and his body feels cold.

There is actually only one reason why it climbed to this height.

Observed through the air lens, a figure is slowly moving forward in the air three to four hundred meters above the ground below.

Wearing a black royal robe embroidered with red clouds, her short and medium-length light purple hair fluttered in the wind, and her white wings waved gently.

"Why is this person here?" 』

A master who can suppress the Red Sand Scorpion and force Uchiha Obito to use the forbidden technique Izanagi to turn defeat into victory, the current Daimaru cannot afford to offend.

However, is there anything that the "Akatsuki" organization wants in the Kingdom of Wind today? If you don't take good care of Nagato, who is in poor health, why would you go to a ghost place like this?
