Red sand dust

The seniors who have experienced the first two ninja wars have witnessed the complicated path of Sunagakure Village, pioneering entrepreneurship, and struggling to survive. They have deep and complicated feelings about the inheritance of the puppetry technique that has supported Sunagakure to this day.

Even if the elders agree to sell the wing armor to the Leaf Village, whether those arrogant old-school puppet stylists are willing to implement it still requires everyone to patiently persuade them to do the work.

Of course, it's not Daimaru's turn to worry about this kind of thing.

Several elders in power have actually decided to sell the wing armor to Konoha Village at a high price.

This thing cannot be defended. Even if the village is strictly guarded, the air combat troops will always go to war and cannot stay in the village as an honor guard all the time.

As long as you go to the battlefield, there will inevitably be casualties, and it will be a matter of time before the enemy captures them as trophies.

As someone who sells force for a living, he must have this awareness.

Although weapons and equipment are precious, if the core technology is kept in hand, the advantage can be maintained for a long time.

Selling is a must!

But how to sell it requires careful consideration, so that you can earn enough benefits without damaging your reputation.

Not long ago, Ma Ji had already asked Elder Qiandai for instructions.

The answer received was not optimistic. Although it was regarded as acquiescence to the decision of the village's top management, it was out of respect for the people in power. In fact, they had an indifferent attitude towards whether to sell the wing armor.

In this case, the plan to move out the respected seniors to enhance their persuasiveness must have failed.

It is no longer possible to count on retired Chiyo and Ebizo to help withstand the pressure. In the end, you still have to make the decision yourself.

The reason for urgently summoning Daimaru back was because Daimaru's attitude of being friendly to the Leaf Village would probably support and agree to Konoha's purchase of winged armor, and his influence as a successful forerunner would enhance his persuasiveness.

After explaining his views in detail to several elders, Daimaru left the Kazekage House, leaving Huang Sha, Fu Yi and Ma Ji to continue to worry.

Daimaru, who has become famous, is still too young even though he is already a Jonin. Some important decisions cannot be made without Daimaru's turn.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the sale of the wing armor could not get around Daimaru, Daimaru might not have known about it until the dust settled.

Walking on the street, Dawan walked carelessly towards home against the annoying wind and sand.

The weather was bad, and the faces of passers-by in a hurry also looked gloomy. The streets that were not originally very busy seemed even more deserted.

The strong wind blowing through the streets and alleys made the signs of roadside shops creak.

Even though they have adapted to the climate of the Land of Wind, the villagers of Sand Hidden Village don't like to go out on days like this.

Daiwan was passing by a wine shop, and in his daze, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a bearded jounin sitting by the window of the wine shop, drinking quietly by himself.

Sarutobi Asuma, who seemed to be aware of the scrutinizing gaze, raised his head understandingly, and saw Daimaru looking at him calmly for a year outside the window.

With a chuckle, the Konoha bearded man lazily put down his wine glass and waved to Daimaru.

"Call me over here!" 』

Daimaru, who had nothing urgent to do anyway, nodded, pushed open the windproof curtain of the wine shop and walked in.

"Let me tell you first, despite my appearance, I am actually only seventeen years old and not old enough to drink..."

"I know this, but I don't mean to treat you to a drink! The wine in your Sand Hidden Village is too expensive, and I can't afford to spend it..."

The Country of Wind, which is not rich in food, definitely does not have much surplus food to make wine.

In addition to imported drinks, locally produced alcoholic beverages are basically fruit wine.

With abundant sunshine conditions, most of the fruits that have adapted to the Kingdom of Wind actually grow well. Although the total output is a little meager, they are all delicious treasures.

However, because the brewing process is extremely crude, the distillation and filtration are not fine, and water resources are scarce, there is no good water for blending. Therefore, although there are excellent raw materials, the technical level is too low to produce high-quality products. of local wine.

Even so, with the overall scarcity of alcoholic beverages, even bad wines are sold at exorbitant prices.

As the son of the Third Hokage, he has a prominent life experience and naturally undertakes many missions to the Leaf Village.

Now Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village are allies, and the current negotiations are only about diplomacy and the purchase of ninja tools. There will be almost no combat missions. While the senior officials of Sunagakure Village are discussing, the bearded man takes a break and I went out for a few drinks.

As for meeting Daimaru by chance, it was just a coincidence.

Daimaru sat down opposite Asuma Sarutobi, took out a bottle of bright red "juice" from the storage scroll and handed it over.

"I made this myself. Try it. It should taste much better than what you have in your hands..."

"You make your own wine, you really have to try it..."

The bearded man took it unceremoniously, opened the cork, and poured himself a large glass.

"You can tell it's different just by smelling it, at least it's much better than what's sold in wine shops..."

"I fiddled with it casually, so I focused on the advantage of it, which is slightly stronger than those turbid wines!"

"It's really interesting! After collecting your wine, you can try these barbecues. They taste pretty good..."

Sarutobi Asuma took a long sip and inhaled the alcohol with satisfaction.

"However, you started making your own wine before you reached adulthood. You also know that it is better than the wine sold in liquor stores. It seems that you drink a lot secretly..."

"Nothing!"

Daimaru naturally denied it.

Knowing that my body is not strong enough to practice the sage mode, how could I use alcohol to ruin myself?

If you want to know the taste of wine, you can use the Star Puppet Thread to feel how others taste when they drink.

In addition, in order to test the resistance of Ukon and Bai Zetsu's clones, Daimaru also gave them a lot of alcohol.

Although Daimaru has never taken the initiative to drink, he has experienced the experience of being drunk many times from other people.

"Just treat it like that!"

Although Sarutobi Asuma and Daimaru knew each other, they didn't have much friendship. They just talked casually and had no intention of asking about Daimaru's personal affairs. The well-informed bearded jounin still understood the taboo of making superficial exchanges. ,

"You should already know the reason why I came to Sunagakure Village!"

"Um!"

Daimaru nodded and confirmed the other party's judgment. As the initiator and commander of the air combat unit, as well as the designer of the wing armor, it was impossible for him to be kept a secret.

If this can be done, I will have to rely on Daimaru to pay more attention to the training of qualified candidates in the future!
