Red sand dust

Daimaru, who knew nothing about the coming dangerous changes, led the air combat troops and contributed his strength in northern Xinjiang.

As the training of his subordinates gradually gets on the right track, the busiest period for Daimaru has passed.

In addition to occasionally going out on patrol and killing the three or two Iwa Ninja spies who sneaked in, they also went deep behind enemy lines to see the enemy's logistics layout.

For some less dangerous tasks, Daimaru has begun to entrust seniors such as Yame, Qian, Yuno, Koji and Shishio to complete them with thirteen newcomers.

Unfortunately, the sensing ninjas promised by Markey are not yet in place, and the entire air combat force is not complete.

In addition, the full-time instructor Daimaru wanted had not found a suitable candidate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet at the northern fortress, Daimaru entrusted Murasaki to temporarily teach his subordinates physical skills.

Daimaru, freed from the tedious chores, had more time to deal with his own affairs, especially his practice. Although the progress was not very big, he still managed to achieve some gains.

Daimaru, who is dedicated to his practice, doesn't want to be too public, but he can't stand the whims of others.

No, Daimaru had to sweat a little more today to cope with the situation in front of him.

Gaara, who was also performing garrison duty at the northern fortress, actually asked Daimaru for a battle.

To be honest, Gaara at this time is already very close to the qualification of "Kage", and his overall strength is obviously higher than Daimaru. Even without the assistance of Ichibi Shukaku, Gaara's own talent and fighting intelligence are also extremely excellent.

After careful consideration, Daimaru accepted Gaara's invitation to fight.

Apart from competing with Nekaze two or three times before, this was the first time for Daimaru to face such a powerful enemy alone.

In the desert nearly thirty kilometers southeast of the Northern Fortress, Daimaru looked down at Gaara with his arms crossed, waiting for Daimaru to attack.

There was no one around, but Daimaru guessed that someone was observing the process and result of the two men's fight.

Between the powerful one-tail jinchūriki and the famous air combat commander who is on the cusp of the storm, which one is better? Each has its own calculation.

But who has the stronger fighting ability can be clearly demonstrated. After a fight, everything will be clear.

It is not yet known whether this fight was Gaara's idea or whether it was Maji who was behind the plan.

But it can be imagined that Gaara, who is stronger, has a great possibility of winning. Suppressing Daimaru, who is in the limelight, will be extremely beneficial to Gaara, who is about to launch a sprint to the position of the Kazekage Fifth Generation.

To be honest, Daimaru did not feel unwilling to be chosen as a stepping stone for others to go further.

Anyway, promoting Gaara to the top is an established matter, and the gap in strength is acceptable.

Daimaru, who didn't have a strong desire to be the Kazekage, didn't mind helping Gaara along.

However, don't look down on people too much. It's not easy to defeat Daimaru.

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!"

He formed a seal with his hands, and spit out a continuous stream of shining light blue wind escape bullets from his mouth. He swooped down silently and attacked Gaara.

To deal with Gaara, a "turret mage" type ninja with average mobility, if you can't penetrate its defense, you can only use wandering tactics to slowly wear it down.

However, can ordinary ninjas consume more jinchūriki?

Even with the power of Daiwan, he is not so arrogant.

The only advantage is that he is four or five years older, has a huge physical advantage, and has far better physical strength than Gaara.

The wind-type projectile that cut through the air was approaching, Gaara stretched out his hands and used his sand clone to block it in front.

The dull projectile sank into the sand and failed to penetrate the sand clone.

Just when Gaara relaxed and prepared to resist the next wave of attacks, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly retreated.

boom……

The Sand Clone was blasted from the inside by the Wind Release Projectile and was instantly torn apart.

The turbulent wind air flow carried the sand and shot it out. Fortunately, Gaara had the sand armor in front of him, so he was not injured. He was only overturned by the shock wave. After a few somersaults, he quickly regained his footing.

"Extremely compressed air bombs that penetrate armor and then explode. A good tactic!"

Gaara put away his contempt, put his hands on the ground, and suddenly raised his head. A ball of yellow sand mixed with the sand infested with his own chakra from the cracked gourd turned into a giant hand, pulling Gaara Lift it up and confront Daimaru in mid-air.

Daimaru was leisurely waiting for Gaara to prepare his defense, and chuckled:

"The defensive ability of sand ninjutsu is indeed very good, but it is not foolproof. After all, sand is just sand, not an invulnerable steel shield! The external defense is indeed very strong, but it is much easier to destroy it from within..."

This tactic was actually Deidara's way of breaking through Gaara's absolute defense and seriously injuring him.

Daimaru doesn't have Explosive Escape, but if he uses Wind Escape well, he can still barely achieve it by imitating a similar effect.

In addition, another reason is that Gaara is not as strong as he was when he fought against Deidara, and there are still many flaws in his body.

"continue……"

Although it was just a competition, Gaara still had a young heart, and he still felt happy to see the hunter.

I won’t go into details about the past killings. Since reforming his ways, Gaara has never fought an opponent of similar strength.

Especially acquaintances of similar age are rare.

Daimaru nodded calmly and formed a seal with his hands.

"Secret Technique·Polarized Light Killing Formation!"

In an instant, the surrounding light seemed to dim, and dense clones of Daimaru appeared in mid-air, surrounding Gaara.

The calm one-tail jinchūriki turned his head to look at the threats that were approaching from all sides, frowned, raised his hands, and the ball of sand under his body turned into countless sand pellets, shooting in all directions.

"Ninja Technique: Suna Shigure!"

A whooshing sound came through the air, passing through countless phantoms without hitting any targets.

"Is it all fake?"

Gaara, who was slightly moved in his heart, rolled up a piece of sand with his hand and penetrated the big pill behind him.

"Hit? No..."

Daimaru, who seemed to be seriously injured, grew a new neck and head from the injured area. He struggled with his hands and continued to attack with kunai.

"Illusion: Art of Kasumi Servant!"

Daimaru's frivolous voice came from the void, making Gaara unable to distinguish its specific location.

The approaching two-headed monster was smashed to pieces by Gaara without hesitation, but it split into more fantasy monsters and surrounded them again.

"When did you learn illusions?"

"I've known it a long time ago, but I never found a good time to use it..."

Gaara was calmly thinking about countermeasures, and Shukaku's hoarse voice came from his heart:

"Be careful, don't be misled. There are indeed illusion fluctuations around, but they are not all fake..."
