Red sand dust

To be honest, a recently promoted chuunin may not need to be informed of major actions in the village, even if this chuunin may be very powerful and is the eldest daughter of the previous Kazekage.

I can't help but lose my temper, just because of my own powerless rage.

If you don't take them with you, you will definitely be considered unqualified. How can Temari, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, endure this?

Seeing Temari in a bad mood, Shizune smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to comfort her.

He came all the way to Konoha Village to perform a mission, but when he heard something happened in the village, he couldn't participate. His own brother was also injured, so he should be worried.

but……

He glanced at Temari's slightly slender waist calmly, and there seemed to be no sign of bulge.

"What's wrong with me?"

Keenly aware of where the other person's eyes were focused, Temari lowered her head and looked at herself, not finding anything wrong with her dress.

"Actually, there are some strange rumors coming from your village, I don't know whether they are true or not..."

Shizune was a little embarrassed. Very few people paid attention to serious business matters. Instead, some gossip and private matters were like the wind taking wings, and it didn't take long for them to spread.

"Rumors? About me... it's so boring!"

Having been the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage for more than ten years, it is common for her to be envied by others. Jealousy and resentment are also inevitable. Although there are not many people who fabricate stories and slander behind her back, they are not just one or two.

"Haha, that's what I'm saying! Even though you're so young, it's still too early to have a baby..."

Shizune had a complicated expression on her face. When she first heard the rumor, she was really shocked. The Hokage disciple who had just turned thirty years old was barely old enough to get married, because among the women who were slightly younger than herself, only Kurenai Yuhi seems to be in a passionate relationship with Sarutobi Asuma, but the rest of them are single.

In addition, there is Tsunade, a hardcore "leftover girl", by her side, so she rarely pays attention to these things.

However, when she heard that Temari, who was not yet seventeen years old, was about to have a child, she was still shocked. The baby-faced woman couldn't help but look in the mirror. She saw that her face was still handsome in the mirror, but the collagen The traces of loss could no longer be stopped, and I still couldn't help but worry.

"Have a baby..."

Temari asked doubtfully,

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't you look carefully just now?"

"You can clearly see the previous actions of surrounding and killing the traitorous ninjas. What's so interesting about some of the false news like 'supposedly' and 'circulated' in the back?"

"This... it's better for you to take a look! I still have something to do, so I'll take a step first..."

Realizing that she had something hidden, Shizune quickly left this girl who was about to become "very unstable" emotionally. Neither her identity nor her age allowed her to participate in such a sour youth story.

In less than a minute, Temari picked up the document and flipped through it casually. Her eyes suddenly widened, and her hand holding the paper couldn't stop shaking.

"Someone really dares to talk nonsense. When I know who it is, I will cut him into pieces..."

In an instant, the number one suspect, Daimaru, appeared in his mind.

Of course, Daimaru did not spread the truth personally.

Although the rumor of "pregnancy out of wedlock and secret birth" was made up by Daimaru, it was only mentioned once in front of Miss Saya and was never actively promoted.

Even so, the "story" that was said out loud and nonsense still spread like wildfire. After thinking about it for a moment, the stunned Daimaru suddenly felt that he should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Maybe Kankuro, that reckless guy, is thinking about giving a gift to his unborn nephew.

"There are some talented people among the sand ninjas who can spy on me without even noticing. That's amazing!" 』

Daimaru, who was "too scared to think about it", immediately gave up the idea of ​​questioning Miss Saya.

There are countless strategies, but it is better to just run away, hide from the right and wrong, and then think of a solution after the situation calms down.

Daimaru hurriedly handed over the plan to develop the south coast, but he would not be able to leave for a while until it was approved.

In addition, he promised Kurama Yakumo to help her successfully pass the wing armor control training, so he couldn't just let it slip.

The White Jue clone is a good thing. With it possessed, the recovery speed of chakra and physical strength is obviously increased a lot.

"It would be great if I could catch a few more White Zetsu clones!" 』

Daimaru thought with some regret.

Although there are a lot of these things, they are too difficult to detect. Under the cover of the essence of the earth's vegetation, except for a few forbidden areas, they can basically come and go without being noticed. They are not actively exposed, and they cannot be discovered by ordinary means.

It seems that because he was busy dividing up the gains from the siege of the Red Sand Scorpion and finalizing the candidates for the Fifth Kazekage, there was no response after Daimaru's plan was submitted.

The elders who can barely speak to each other probably don't want to get too involved at this critical juncture. It is better to leave this kind of strategic plan, which is relatively controversial and has great influence, to the fifth generation of the Kazekage who is about to be released.

Daimaru, who was unable to escape for a while, could only hope that Temari would not be able to come back for a while as she had a lot of work to do. At the same time, he also paid a lot of attention to the training of the air combat troops, and would take his subordinates to train outside the village if nothing happened. Practice in the field and drive away the idle people with excuses.

The commander of the air combat unit with a business-like attitude. He could not leave the line of fire after being slightly injured. As soon as his injury improved, he quietly contributed to the village. Lord "Red Sand Dust" was not moved by the rumors at all, which greatly disappointed those who wanted to cause trouble.

Not to mention encouraging Daiwan, he couldn't even see her face to face, so some things naturally had to be left alone.

However, other ordinary people can ignore it, and Gaara, the brother-in-law and quasi-Kazekage, cannot be turned away thousands of miles away.

Even though things have improved, Gaara, who still hasn't mastered the advanced communication skills of "awkward chatting", is still not a good "talking" partner.

Standing side by side on the small sand dune, looking at several Konoha ninjas flying in strange postures in the air not far away, Daimaru gave up the idea of ​​going around in circles.

"The village has already decided that you will be the Kazekage, right?"

"Um!"

After the injury improved, Maki had already told Gaara the specific arrangements.

Chiyo's support is the final winner.

The suspense that has been debated for more than a year has come to an end. There are still many people outside who do not know the truth and are working hard for those they support, but they do not know that the outcome has already been determined.

"Has it been decided on a day to hold the succession ceremony?"

Gaara, who was motionless, didn't answer Daimaru's cold question, as if he didn't hear it.

"really!"

Daimaru sighed.

The candidate has been confirmed, but the "story" surrounding the Kazekage Fifth Generation is far from over.
