Red sand dust

To be honest, in a settlement that was beginning to take shape, the children wandering around the camp were actually a bit of a nuisance, and might even be dangerous.

However, Daimaru did not reject the children who were attracted here because of this and lived by collecting the "leftovers" left over from the camp. Instead, he provided convenience to them from time to time.

"Does Daimaru want to do charity? There are many ordinary people here, and even unrelated children can come and go normally..."

Temari looked a little strange.

It is a newly built settlement in name, but in essence, it is still a subsidiary force of Sunagakure Village.

Whether it is the Platycodon Mountain Castle, training ground, experimental base, etc. under the jurisdiction of Konoha Village, the northern fortress of Sunagakure Village, or the medicinal materials laboratory of Kawano Country, they are generally not open to ordinary people.

Theoretically, the settlements Daimaru built attached to power plants and desalination plants should also be military bases, fortresses, or training camps. If not necessary, they should be managed as closed as possible.

As a ninja, try not to show too much compassion outside of your mission. The position of the Ninja Village is not entirely on the side of good. Trying your best not to do evil is already good.

This is also done to prevent representatives of secular power, daimyo and government forces from using excuses to reach out.

Daimaru's style of not rejecting anyone who comes to him, and even making things easier for children who come to seek help, is really unreasonable.

Qian, who seemed to have known this question beforehand, said:

"The blame lies with the fact that the village invested too little. If we didn't absorb external resources, especially the support from the residents of the nearby Country of Wind, this camp wouldn't be built at all. This is a good thing that benefits both sides..."

Just by making some trivial changes, many children who are deprived of food and clothing and starving may be able to overcome the difficulties.

"That's what he said, but it's somewhat inconsistent with his sentence of 'being a pure ninja'!"

It is rare for Daimaru to have such an idea and have an advantage, but this person's ideas and style are too contradictory.

"Actually, I think it's okay!"

Nowadays, Qianya is one of the people who knows Daimaru better.

"Ninja is just a kind of identity and profession. We are also a part of human beings. Although the ninja code does not advocate being too involved in secular life, it does not deny human nature..."

"Did Daimaru tell you this?"

Qian shook his head and denied:

"He didn't say it explicitly, but that's how I understood it!"

"Even so, how many people will pay attention to these precarious refugee children, and who will care about this trivial act of kindness?"

"They care!"

Qian said, pointing to the naughty children playing in the distance while chasing the tide to dig clams.

The young ninja who was arranged by Qian to take care of them to prevent them from being swept away by the tide yawned reluctantly. The rare vacation may have been wasted for a long time because of this trivial matter. I originally wanted to sleep in.

People who were busy coming and going nearby were also used to this noise. As long as they didn't get in the way, no one cared about them.

"If you say so..."

Temari was a little confused.

It is Temari's simple concept to value Gaara and Kankuro in their "small family" and protect the compatriots in the "everyone" Sunagakure Village. The larger "country" Wind Country is not too concerned. Outside the country of wind and sand, it is even more difficult to reach.

This is also what most Suna ninjas think.

Even Temari, who has had a dream since she was a child, her biggest wish is for the Sunagakure Village to be strong, the Land of Wind to be rich, and the shinobi world to be peaceful.

I don’t actually know what the “power to change the world” that I vaguely look forward to is, and what the ideal future should be like.

Vaguely, from Qian's words, Temari felt the biggest difference between Daimaru and other Suna ninja.

Feeling the silence of his childhood sweetheart who was speechless, Qian asked softly:

"Do you still remember what we said last year when we overheard Daimaru and Kankuro chatting at the Leaf Village Hot Spring Hotel?"

Temari nodded involuntarily:

"Yeah! What's wrong?"

"At that time, Daimaru said that you were a girl full of innocent dreams, and you were so angry that you wanted to rush into the men's bathroom and beat someone up! It seems like it was just yesterday..."

As he spoke, Qian seemed to recall some scenes that made people laugh, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you talking about this! Which girl didn't dream of being a princess when she was young?"

Temari interrupted Chi's teasing uncomfortably.

Chi, who suppressed his smile slightly, looked at Temari thoughtfully and asked:

"Now, do you still believe that your future husband will be a man who meets all your expectations? Is there really an omnipotent hero in this world who can change this messy world and bring tranquility and peace?"

"I……"

Temari was speechless. Her dream was still there, but she no longer believed it would come true.

This is probably the price of growth. After experiencing too much and being scarred by reality, the heart is indeed not as pure and innocent as it was before.

Maybe one day, I will deceive myself and others, find a "genius" who thinks he can bring changes to the world, entrust him to him for the rest of his life, and spend his life hastily.

After a long silence, Temari said harshly:

"You...have also learned Daimaru's harsh words that can hurt people invisibly!"

"We are both girls, and we are also childhood sweethearts. Of course I can guess something about your thoughts..."

Qian nonchalantly replied,

"How can others, including me, be any better? Being mature and worldly is actually quite a pity..."

"Then...you suddenly mentioned this, do you mean Daimaru is different?"

"Hard to say!"

Qian hesitated and replied,

"Daimaru should have some ideas about the village, the Kingdom of Wind, and the entire ninja world! Probably only such a paranoid guy who doesn't give up can persevere..."

"I understand this. Although Gaara is taciturn, he is actually quite a stubborn person. Once he is determined, he will not give up halfway!"

"It's not that exaggerated. Daimaru hasn't suffered any serious setbacks yet. Even if not many people are optimistic about it, he still thinks he can do it! Besides..."

Qian said to Temari with a smile,

"Although I don't know what kind of girl Daimaru thinks of, there must be standards! Unlike you and me, although we don't admit it, we have already silently compromised in our hearts, Daimaru still believes that the perfect person exists. …”

"This person...is me?"

Temari asked uncertainly.

"It should be for now!"

Personal preference, there is not much reason to explain. Maybe Daimaru likes the fierce and shy look of a strong girl, but it may not necessarily be Temari!

After a few words, the blond girl, who was confident because she was favored, understood in an instant that ambiguous love would become a thing of the past for some inexplicable reason.
