Red sand dust

The separation between the world of ninjas and ordinary people is more serious than many people imagine.

Because battles between official ninjas have regulations that do not affect civilians, many people in remote areas of the ninja world do not have a deep impression of the five major ninja villages. Instead, they are unruly rebel ninjas, wandering ninja groups, and down-and-out samurai. , and even the gangsters who collect protection fees have a greater sense of existence.

Only when these people exploit them too much and the civilians really can't survive will they turn to official ninjas to get rid of those guys.

Of course, the rewards for tasks released by Ninja Village are also very high. Therefore, in many places, they don't care much about the distinction between "regular army" and "guerrillas" among ninjas. Anyway, in the end, you have to pay the bill, which is collecting protection fees and paying members' money, and it's the same for everyone.

Even the government represented by daimyo forces, because of its low management efficiency and dishonest officials, sometimes it is more cost-effective to pay protection fees to bandits.

Where the sky is high, the emperor is far away, and the daimyo cannot control, other forces will always fill the vacancy.

The news of the conflict between Sand Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village was quite disturbing in the secular world. After all, it was a struggle between two big countries.

As for the average person's impression, it's probably like "Oh, the fight has started again."

A few months ago, the Sand Ninja had just attacked the Iwa Ninja's station. Many civilians who could not escape also lost their lives under Daimaru's order to kill indiscriminately.

"Red Dust" became famous in the ninja world for the first time. Ninjas in other villages knew about Daimaru, but most of the time they were associated with the air combat troops.

Among civilians, Daimaru obviously has a bad reputation, having directly caused the death of hundreds of people, many of whom were ordinary people without the ability to resist. He can easily be called "bloodthirsty".

As for this time, Daimaru added the impression of "maybe very strong" based on the original evaluation.

Is it really strong? More achievements are needed to enhance the convincingness.

However, in the hearts of top ninjas, the weight of Daimaru is much heavier than most people think.

They can obtain accurate and detailed information as quickly as possible, and then have a dedicated person analyze the risk level, laying the foundation for future mission classification of this person.

For others, although the ninja's mobility is excellent, the speed of news spreading is obviously much slower. Coupled with the spread of rumors, many specious versions have been born to confuse the public, and many people who are watching the excitement are confused.

If no one specifically clarified it, it would probably be difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth.

Finally, the rhetoric of the two parties is very interesting.

Sunagakure Village took the lead in announcing its victory and repelled the enemy's attack with force. It was also appropriate to praise Daimaru and the mask, as well as the compatriots in the north who fought bravely.

The Iwagakure Village was not to be outdone, and immediately announced the news that it was the winner. The powerful Tsuchikage Sandaime-sama led the Iwa ninja to break through the Suna ninja's defenses, killing a large number of enemies, and reported several The revenge of the defeat a month ago.

What is the truth? Many people who are interested know it. After a slightly more intense test, Suna Ninja had the upper hand. Gaara, the newly appointed Kazekage Fifth Generation, did not take action. Onoki retreated with his people. It was obvious that Iwa Ninja had eaten it. After a loss, retreat when faced with difficulties.

Daimaru faced off against Onoki head-on. Because no detailed information was leaked during the battle, the interesting "mystery" was more eye-catching than the "power".

Apart from gaining a little fame in last year's Chuunin Exams, the only time Daimaru's name entered other people's ears was by following others. The success of Sunagakure Village's air combat unit impressed people deeply with his puppet modeling skills. , but because he has never publicly defeated a powerful enemy, he is not known for his strong fighting ability.

It wasn't until Daimaru ended the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara that people realized that Daimaru was not just a "technical" ninja and management talent.

But it is still a bit surprising to say that he can compete with Onoki head-on. His performance in the Chunin Examination is there. In more than a year, he has walked a road that most ninjas will never complete in their lifetime. This is too exaggerated.

Suspicion was unavoidable, but Iwa Ninja and Onoki were unwilling to expose their shortcomings, and Daimaru did not stand up to explain. Instead, they stayed away from the south coast, letting the momentary restlessness gradually subside.

Only a very small number of people can convey the truth in a few words from the lurking spies, as well as the battlefield that is riddled with holes and pits, and speculate on the fierce scenes of the battle at that time.

As an ally of Sunagakure Village, Konoha Village knew more, but it did not involve some top secrets. Tsunade put aside the analysis report of the intelligence department in her hand.

"There are too many specious side evidences and speculations! Magnetic Escape, Blood Succession Elimination, and even Immortal Magic. Why not say it is the reincarnation of Six Paths?"

Tsunade snorted dissatisfiedly,

"It's not as reliable as the Dragon Vein Land of the Kingdom of Wind that was rumored some time ago! Excavation of ancient ruins, encountering rare treasures, and an ordinary boy becoming a peerless genius in one fell swoop! At least ninja hero novels dare to write like this..."

The Kingdom of Fire has reached the crisp autumn season, but Tsunade is not in a comfortable mood. This year has been very difficult. Recently, negotiations with Kirigakure Village have made some progress, and the allies are blaming them again. .

Shizune on the side smiled and said:

"Sunagakure Village is an ally after all. The other party doesn't want to tell us, and we can't blatantly spy on them. We can only sift through some rumors, distinguish the true from the false, and then analyze them..."

"It seems that I am too indulgent in the second-tier departments such as the Intelligence Department and the Cryptozoology Department, so much so that some people treat them as a retirement home. The benefits are so good that there is no sense of crisis! I actually came up with this kind of analysis. The report is misleading, next time should I say that the other person is a long-lost member of the Senju family, and he needs to be brought back to inherit the position of the Sixth Hokage?"

"No way!"

Shizune smiled dryly, not knowing how to smooth things over with the "professionals" who swore that the analysis report was authoritative and reliable.

Tsunade suppressed her unhappiness and rolled her eyes at Shizune. Without complaining, she reached out and opened the iron box covered with sealing runes, and placed a gorgeous ring inside.

"The Ring of the Tama Girl, according to what that idiot Jiraiya said, Orochimaru who has broken away from the Akatsuki is a Kongchan. There are quite a few people in this organization..."

However, compared to the secrets in the Ring of the Jade Girl and the trouble it may cause, the top-secret information sent by the Sand Ninjas that did not fall on paper is more concerning.

"Is it related to the Nine-Tails attack on the village more than ten years ago?" It’s a pity that the parties involved who knew the inside story are all dead..."

The newly emerged mysterious person from the "Akatsuki" organization has the ability to perform time and space ninjutsu, and there are more and more dangerous enemies.
