Red sand dust

The relationship between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village has been in a nominal alliance for most of the decades, but every ten years or so, there will be a big fight.

Whether it was Suna Ninja or Konoha Ninja, the village's senior officials were no longer surprised by such capricious diplomatic relations.

Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village, which are in their honeymoon period, both need to huddle together for warmth to balance the strength of the five major ninja villages.

However, there is no shortage of competition between them in various fields.

The procurement of wingsuit armor and the training of operators are only manifestations of this complex relationship.

Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja, who were trained at the same time, competed together again after last year's Joint Chuunin Examination.

The Sand Ninja, who are more adaptable to the environment of the Land of Wind and have the tradition of puppet masters, perform slightly better than the Konoha Ninjas, but this is just the beginning, and it is difficult to say whether they can be one step ahead in the future.

The person who seriously hindered the Konoha ninja was Kurama Yakumo, who was obviously unable to keep up.

In comparison, other Konoha ninjas, so far, are not too bad.

Ignoring the strange looks in the eyes of the three unfamiliar compatriots, Kurama Yakumo still went his own way and tried his best to do his best, but the results were not so wonderful.

Haruno Sakura, who was determined to find a way for Kurama Yakumo, had to give up the idea of ​​helping. It seemed that Kurama Yakumo didn't care much about other people's opinions and didn't feel bothered at all.

In fact, Sakura Haruno, who has excellent chakra control, is not progressing very smoothly in learning to control flying puppets.

The main reason is that her own chakra is relatively poor in wind attribute talent. The girl who has fair talent in water, earth and Yang escape is a little unsuitable to Wind escape, which is unpredictable and difficult to practice in shape changes.

However, being a heroine who can balance Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto definitely has its advantages.

Although his talent is not top-notch, his learning ability is much stronger than most ninjas.

The little girl who did not perform well in the Chuunin Examination last year has impressed her tutors, Yeme and Chi, with admiration. Although her starting point is very low, her progress rate is extremely astonishing and she has great potential.

"As expected of the Hokage's disciple..."

This is a slightly envious comment from Yemu who taught him at close range. Such talent is indeed rare.

Anyone with a little discernment could see that Haruno Sakura couldn't handle the skill-oriented wingsuit manipulation.

Despite receiving the praise, Haruno Sakura herself is still sober.

In private, the little girl confessed to Kurama Yakumo in a low voice:

"How to control wingsuit flight is actually not the key. I think the theoretical knowledge taught in the early stage is more valuable..."

The principles of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics summarized from countless experiments, as well as mature formulas that have been tested in practice, are the greatest wealth that Konoha ninjas learned from Sunagakure Village.

Although it can be clearly felt that the Suna Ninjas have reservations, it does not affect the Konoha Ninjas' next study. The Suna Ninjas do not hide the knowledge they need to understand when flying.

In Haruno Sakura's view, with these foundations in place, as long as Konoha Village increases investment, it will be possible to complete the follow-up sooner or later.

Kurama Yakumo, who had heard Daimaru talk about it a long time ago and had a little idea, chuckled and shook his head:

"We still have some far-sighted elders in Konoha Village, but we can't continue to invest heavily in things that are difficult to recover the cost..."

Why did the Suna Ninja agree to sell the wing armor and even teach the Konoha Ninja some skills?

Because it is calculated that Konoha Village does not have the ability to turn these theories into actual works, the investment is too great, and the harvest is far away.

The best option is to spend money to buy it, imitate it, and steal the technology from Sunagakure Village.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Kurama Yakumo. Anyway, he just wants to take this opportunity to become a ninja.

"Do not think too much……"

Looking at the sad-looking Haruno Sakura, Kurama Yakumo instead enlightened this little girl who seemed to have good intentions towards him.

"You are just a disciple of the Hokage, not the Hokage. It is not your turn to worry about the political affairs of Konoha Village. You can just learn how to control the winged armor, go back to work, and take some time to relax..."

"Um!"

Haruno Sakura, who knew that she had no choice but to do this, looked at the Suna Ninja who was so energetic and wanted to compete with the Konoha ninja with a headache, and sighed with a bitter smile,

"Those two young 'instructors' seem to be using our reputation to increase Suna Ninja's motivation..."

You can't win on the frontal battlefield. In last year's "Konoha Collapse Plan", you also lost the sneak attack battle. If you can outdo the Konoha ninjas in learning to control the winged armor, you can also deceive yourself and comfort your seriously injured pride. .

…

Daimaru, who left the affairs of the air combat unit to his subordinates for the time being, has been discussing some important matters with Fu Yi, Ma Ji and Ryu Sa for the past two days.

As the situation gradually became clearer, Kumogakure, which seemed to realize that the Iwa Ninja were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, simply increased the size of the ninja army on the border between the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth.

For a moment, Kumo Ninja was so pressed that Iwa Ninja couldn't breathe.

The Iwa ninja, who was able to maintain the situation by greatly withdrawing the troops on the southern front and mobilizing some demolition troops, had to forcefully strengthen the deployment on the eastern front and confront the Kumo ninja to show his determination not to give in.

It's a pity that Iwagakure Village is not Konoha Village. Among the five great ninja villages, no one is an ally or has a harmonious relationship.

At this time, they were provoking Sunagakure Village and Kumogakure Village at the same time, fighting on two fronts. Iwa Ninja did not have such strength yet.

Realizing that the war situation in the Kingdom of Wind was irreversible, the Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki simply vomited out all the occupied land in the Kingdom of Wind, leaving only a small number of troops to garrison the traffic arteries. A large number of ninja troops were transferred to the eastern front to support and suppress The cloud ninja is ready to make a move.

A pie fell from the sky and hit Suna Ninja on the head.

Sunagakure Village, which had not won a victory in decades, seemed to be confused about the situation for a while. After the Suna ninjas who tried to attack and recovered a large area of ​​lost territory without losing any blood, the mask came to their senses and ordered a full-scale advance of the defense line.

In less than a week, the unstoppable Sand Ninja occupied most of the habitable spots in the north.

Fortunately, he still retained a trace of calmness in his visor, and did not advance too aggressively. He stopped about thirty kilometers away from the border of Earth Country, maintaining a long and narrow buffer zone without overly irritating the Iwa Ninja.

Next, there are endless priorities to re-establish the defense line, deploy ninja troops to garrison, restore people's livelihood, and request support from the rear.

The visor, which had gained a lot of credit for nothing, had an unparalleled reputation. Not long ago, the red and purple "red dust" was also compared to it.

The sudden rise of the visor has officially become a popular candidate for the Kazekage fifth generation on par with Gaara and Fuyi.

Of course, these have little to do with what Daimaru is going to do, but have other priorities.
