Red sand dust

"So it's just a mistake?"

Daimaru listened dumbly as his mother recounted the past.

"It's not wrong. In fact, the name 'Daimaru' is quite good. Are you dissatisfied with the name that your late grandmother personally gave you?"

Mother Wu Ye narrowed her eyes and asked Daimaru with a smile.

"Nothing!"

Daimaru quickly denied.

The mother who looked like this seemed a little unhappy.

Mother Wu Ye, who had always respected her grandmother, didn't want Daimaru to be dissatisfied with her.

Daiwan was a naughty boy when he was a child, but he had endured a lot of "love spurs". He knew very well when his mother would be angry, and he had to be cowardly when it was time to be cowardly. The iron-clad "Red Sand Dust" man bowed his head in front of his mother. It's nothing, no one will see it anyway, so it won't affect the image and majesty.

"It's good that you don't have any emotions. In fact, 'Dawan' is also quite good. To put it more deeply, the word 'Wan' means 'nature' and 'core'. It is used as a suffix in a person's name and has no special meaning. It’s just a personified expression, and the word ‘big’ is also my grandmother’s expectation for you!”

Mother Wu Ye chuckled and said,

"Another important reason is that your grandfather and I are not very good at naming. We thought of several names, but none were as good as 'Daimaru'..."

"Don't mind, Mother, the name 'Daimaru' is pretty good too."

Although this "big pill" is a bit imaginative to explain in a far-fetched way, in essence, it is similar to "Goudan", "Gou Sheng", "Er Niu" and the like. It's easy to make a living with a bad name.

Even the Great Toad Immortal, whose strength is comparable to that of the Six Paths Immortal, is called Toadamaru. Thinking of this, Daimaru is actually quite satisfied.

"It's best if you think so! If your grandmother knew that you were so promising now, she would definitely be very happy..."

Mother Wu Ye nodded with satisfaction and said,

"Back then, the shrine was destroyed by the war, and your grandmother has always been a little worried about it..."

Some past events, when Daimaru was very young, his mother Wu Ye told them as stories to Daimaru.

The shrine worshiped by the villagers has been passed down for many years. From the priests and witches to the maids and servants, everyone believes that such harmonious days will be passed down from generation to generation.

However, when the ninja came with unstoppable force, the so-called shrine was so vulnerable.

The shrine that enshrines Ebisu, one of the Gods of Good Luck, was not even the target of the ninjas. It was just affected by the aftermath of the war and couldn't control itself.

The witches and priests were unable to resist, and the servants, who were in panic all day long, tried to seek help from those good men and women, but at the critical moment, no one came forward.

In the face of crisis, all the kindness and kindness in the past are completely worth mentioning.

In fact, neither the Sand Ninja nor the Iwa Ninja deliberately targeted those insignificant small shrines. Generally speaking, wars between ninjas will not affect ordinary people, but if they really fight, they will not be able to hold back. That's another story.

Weren't Nagato's parents, Fuso and Ise, misunderstood and killed by Konoha ninjas? In these years of panic, there has been too much senseless killing and hatred.

The witches who dedicated their faith to the gods wandered around with their maids, seeking refuge but could not find it.

Daimaru's mother, Wu Ye, has seen too many partings along the way. Children still remember them, and Daimaru's grandmother is even more unforgettable.

There are people who are in chaos everywhere. The so-called beliefs, shrines, witches, gods, etc., are just looking for comfort.

This era belongs to ninjas, and extraordinary power belongs to oneself. Instead of praying to gods who don't know whether it will work or not, it is better to spend money and entrust ninjas to help.

Belief? Maybe, but not religiously.

Therefore, the helpless grandmother took her daughter to settle in Sunagakure Village without hesitation, and then chose a ninja husband for her daughter.

Since Daimaru's father passed away due to illness, his mother Wu Ye, who was struggling to survive with her grandfather, still insisted on letting Daimaru go to a ninja school and successfully became a ninja. It was not without reason.

Because I have experienced so much personally, I have worked tirelessly to integrate myself into the ninja group.

The beliefs I once had remain unchanged, but my view of the world and my attitude toward life have undergone fundamental changes.

If you want to rebuild the shrine, it will be difficult to resist external storms without the support of ninjas.

"Mother, grandma is just a maid serving a miko. Is it necessary to be obsessed with those things?"

The inheritance of the shrine maiden lineage is actually very closed and mysterious, but the maids are mostly the daughters of rural households or adopted orphans, and are not direct descendants of the shrine.

Even though these servants are divided into three, six or nine grades, they are still not the master of the shrine.

Mother Wu Ye shook her head and said:

"I don't know very well. Maybe your grandmother has some special relationship with the shrine... By the way, the shrine maiden who was in chaos at that time ordered the maids to leave with some important things from the shrine. Your grandmother also had some in her hands, and she was later taken advantage of by others. Please, I collected some remains..."

"There is such a thing at home, why have I never seen it before?"

Daimaru asked in surprise.

Basically every corner of the two-story building at home has been rummaged through by Daimaru. If there is really something good hidden there, it is impossible for Daimaru not to know about it.

"You were still young at that time..."

Mother Wu Ye chuckled.

Daimaru, who was self-righteous at a young age, no matter how shrewd he was, was no match for his mother, who seemed modest but was actually quite assertive.

"If you find it, it will probably be ruined. Are there many things in the house that you ruined?"

Daimaru smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to retort.

"In fact, they are not valuable things. They are common utensils used in shrine worship and some daily necessities. Even if outsiders see them, they don't know how to use them. Even I can't recognize some of them. Of course, at most There are some incomprehensible books..."

"Show it to me when you have time. I have never seen any serious shrine utensils..."

"Can!"

Mother Wu Ye nodded in agreement.

It's normal to be curious, and with Daimaru's personality, he would definitely ponder it.

The Kingdom of Wind is vast and sparsely populated. There are quite a few monks, but shrines are extremely rare.

If Daimaru's family hadn't been related to this, Daimaru would have wondered if all the shrines in the Land of Wind had been demolished by the monks.

By the way, there is a junior in the Sky Team, and his family seems to have moved to Sunagakure Village from a foreign country to escape the war. If you have time, you can have a good communication with him.

Although ninjas don't attach much importance to gods and Buddhas, they don't reject them either.
