Red sand dust

Daimaru, who naturally said something outrageous, did not wait for Temari's unconvinced taunt like he did in the past.

Temari looked at Daimaru deeply, but she didn't refute this time, which made Daimaru a little surprised.

"Why...you think what I said makes sense?"

Temari shook her head noncommittally and sighed:

"Which ninja with a little bit of strength doesn't think that he is an omnipotent genius? It's just that there are very few people like you who say it so brazenly..."

"Is it weird?"

Daimaru said nonchalantly.

"If you are really confident, wouldn't it be normal to say it as a matter of course?"

"Your confidence is inexplicably sufficient..."

Temari, who knew Daimaru would answer like this, sighed,

"If the ninja world were full of idiots like you, there might be fewer disputes..."

Daimaru couldn't help laughing:

"Then you are wrong. The same people will naturally have the same desires and want similar things. If you fight for it, you will end up in a pot of porridge..."

"Maybe!"

Temari chuckled nonchalantly,

"Anyway, be careful. You don't need to take too many risks now..."

Ninjutsu practice is not always smooth sailing. Injuries due to poor control are common. At the jounin level, every step forward is precious.

If you want to overcome all obstacles and develop a new path in an area where previous efforts have not been made, the difficulties are secondary and the key is the unpredictable danger.

"Well, I know it well!"

At this point, the plots, secrets, ninjutsu and adventures in his memory are no longer of much use to Daimaru.

The stage in which one's strength would be greatly improved by learning an advanced ninjutsu has passed. Today's Daimaru needs a leap in blood succession limits, chakra mode, sage mode and even the level of forbidden arts.

If you learn a few more A-level ninjutsu and S-level ninjutsu, can you deal with the S-level rebellious ninjutsu of the "Akatsuki" organization?

Not to mention the Mangekyō Sharingan, Rinnegan and even the Ten-Tails.

After a long time, the sun was almost setting. Temari's face calmly relaxed against the red sunset, and she seemed to like this scene very much.

"It's so beautiful, but it's too short-lived..."

"If you like it, you can watch it for a while..."

Daimaru's heart moved and he said pointedly.

"How is it possible? The sun will never stop for us to enjoy enough..."

"We just need to catch up..."

As he spoke, Daimaru took out a pair of goggles and handed them over.

"Put it on..."

"What are you..."

Temari took the goggles and asked strangely,

"Catch up...do you mean chasing the sunset?"

"certainly……"

Daimaru, who had excellent mobility, took out the puppet Ghost without opening the cockpit and sat directly on top.

"Are you kidding me?"

Temari looked at Daimaru, who was controlling the puppet ghost and suspended in mid-air, with an incredulous look on her face.

A few months have passed, and Daimaru's strength has improved a lot. Even without the power of Wind Release and Gale Palm, he can control the puppet and ghost to take off.

"Do you think I'm a lunatic talking nonsense? Come up quickly. If you wait a little longer, you won't be able to catch up..."

"this……"

Looking at Daimaru's stretched out hand, Temari hesitated, but still took it, and picked up the three-star fan next to her. Then Daimaru pulled it, and Temari took advantage of it to take off, and stood firmly behind Daimaru.

"Stand still, we're about to leave..."

"etc……"

Facing the evening breeze, Temari untied her headband and let her golden hair flutter in the wind. She put on her goggles and put her hands on Daimaru's shoulders.

"alright……"

"Stand still..."

As soon as the words fell, the puppet and ghost carrying the two people turned into a stream of light and quickly climbed up, speeding away in the direction of the setting sun.

"It's such a strong wind, you idiot, why are you flying so fast..."

Daimaru, who was sitting in front with his arms folded across his chest, looked relaxed, and the strong wind driven by the air did not affect him at all.

Temari, who was standing behind Daimaru, was not so comfortable. After letting down her golden braid, it was almost shoulder-length. Even though it was partially restrained by the straps of the goggles, it was still dancing violently with the flow of air.

Because the speed was too fast, the ends of the hair scratched the skin of the cheeks and neck, like a bouncing steel wire hitting the face, which was extremely painful.

Temari, who was not prepared at all, suffered greatly immediately.

"Sorry, forgot..."

Daimaru laughed awkwardly and said,

"In the past, I was alone and could fly without restraint..."

As Daimaru spoke, he slightly adjusted the flow of air around him to make Temari at the back feel better.

After the speed stabilized a little, Temari's hands that tightly grasped Daimaru's shoulders to maintain balance relaxed a little.

"Can we catch up like this?"

After galloping for a while, the sunset, which was about to set, was still sinking slowly, but the speed seemed to be a little slower.

"Probably... we can't catch up!"

"Why are you so desperate when I can't catch up with you?"

The speed was too fast, and the wind in her ears was a little noisy. Temari couldn't help but speak loudly, and her voice couldn't help but raise a little higher.

"The process of chasing feels good, don't you feel happy now?"

"Just so-so!"

Although I don’t want to admit it, I can’t hide the feeling of joy in my heart.

"You're like this...you start acting as soon as your head is hot. How reckless! I'm also a fool, and I accidentally got picked up by you..."

"Haha... isn't this great! In fact, this is my first time running after the sun..."

Daimaru smiled nonchalantly and said,

"What if we catch up..."

"is it possible?"

Although Daimaru occasionally gets hot-headed and takes action whenever he disagrees with his words, Temari is a calm and wise person, so how could she believe such nonsense.

"Stop talking and watch..."

"What……"

Before he could even ask a question, the puppet ghost, which was getting faster and faster, rushed diagonally upward into a thick cloud.

Less than a minute later, the two people who broke out of the clouds and mist suddenly saw light in front of their eyes. The darkness before dusk was swept away, and a golden bowl-shaped sun appeared in their sight.

"Look! I caught up..."

The grinning Daimaru stretched out his hands boldly, wanting to embrace the sunset, the pride on his face was beyond words.

Although Daimaru's speed in controlling the puppet and ghost was fast, it was not fast enough to catch up with the sun.

However, after climbing to a certain height and rising above the clouds, as long as it is out of the shadow area of ​​​​the sun, the unobstructed sun will appear again.

"This is……"

Temari stared blankly at the sun in front of her that should have set long ago, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
