Red sand dust

"die?"

Daimaru smiled,

"I'm different from you. I want to live hard, live well, and let the people around me and the people I care about live happily!"

Traveling through the joy of rebirth, joy and sorrow, everything in this world makes Daimaru feel the weight of life.

Until that day, I was buried twenty or thirty meters deep in the sea of ​​quicksand, in total darkness. I didn’t know where to go, my hands and feet had no feeling, I couldn’t feel the existence of my body, and I didn’t even know whether I was alive or dead.

On the day he saw the light of day again, Daimaru felt for the first time that every day in the past was so beautiful and every day in the future was worth looking forward to.

"Maybe you have your own ninja skills, but we sand ninjas are also struggling desperately for survival. Don't underestimate our awareness!"

Maki suddenly appeared and held Daimaru's shoulders.

"Stop talking!"

"I know! Senior Ma Ji..."

Daimaru turned his head and said to Uzumaki Naruto,

"I'm sorry, my whole body hurts so much, my mind isn't very clear, and I'm a little excited. Forget what I said!"

Seeing Maki take Daimaru away, Uzumaki Naruto looked at his teacher.

"Is it really necessary for the Chunin Exam to be so cruel?"

Hatake Kakashi sighed:

"Several candidates have already lost their lives, what do you think? Well, don't think too much about it! Although Xiao Li lost, his efforts are valuable, and everyone has seen it."

After a moment of silence, Uzumaki Naruto asked leisurely:

"That Daimaru once said that no Hokage ever dies. Is that true?"

Hatake Kakashi rubbed Uzumaki Naruto's messy blond hair:

"Don't talk about the Hokage. All the dead Kages in the five great ninja villages all died violently. They either died in battle or died of serious injuries. There are also some who are not seen alive or dead, or who have been missing for decades for no apparent reason!"

Shadow does not become a shadow because of his strength, but he becomes a shadow because he carries the burden of the whole village and is respected by others.

"Don't talk about 'death' casually in the future, Naruto! The belief of protecting Ninja Way at all costs must be firmly in your heart and put into practice."

On the other side, Daimaru leaned against the wall and took the pills given by Marky to temporarily relieve the pain, making himself feel a little better.

Yeme used her not so good medical ninjutsu to treat Daimaru's wounds.

"Stop it, Nighteye, no need to waste chakra, you still have a game!"

"But!"

"Don't worry, this injury is nothing!"

Not far away, Miss Saya curled her lips angrily:

"You're really tough. It would be great if you get treatment as soon as possible!"

Shanai asked in confusion:

"Sister-in-law, can a puppet master really be as good as Daimaru? The bones in his hands and feet are broken, and he can still continue to fight..."

"It's okay, but no one can bear it, it hurts just looking at it..."

And if you haven’t practiced this little skill yet, you can’t just break your own bones every now and then. Why don’t you try it out to see if it works?

The staff below were cleaning up the ground that Rock Lee and Daimaru had beaten to pieces. The candidates could also take the opportunity to take a rest.

The bleeding wound on Daimaru's body has been bandaged, and the skin injury has been treated without any problems. As for the hidden danger of injured muscles and bones, he can only bear it for the time being, and can only go to the hospital for treatment after the third early trial is over.

"Daimaru, you never said why you must come to participate in this joint chuunin exam! At another time, with your strength, it is really not difficult to become a chuunin..."

Qian asked quietly.

"You just want to be in the spotlight, can't you?"

"It doesn't feel like it!"

Even though he didn't know anything, Qian could still feel a little bit of the unusual atmosphere of the Sand Ninja.

"You have succeeded in attracting Temari's attention. No matter whether you like it or dislike it, you are no longer a passerby! However, if you ask me, love is not about being in the limelight to gain favor..."

"I know!"

Daimaru smiled, but accidentally pulled the wound, and couldn't help but grin.

"But, what can I do? The only thing I can do is to show Temari the most shining side..."

The rest can only be left to Temari to decide.

"You... are much more understanding than everyone thinks. If it were someone else, I might have been attracted to you..."

"Maybe!"

Daimaru closed his eyes, and the tired look on his face could no longer be hidden.

Yeme quietly took Qian's hand and left, no longer disturbing Daimaru's rest.

Not long after, Daimaru, who was sitting tiredly on the ground, suddenly noticed someone approaching again.

"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone for a while?"

"it's me!"

Daimaru opened his eyes:

"Kankuro, what's the matter?"

"Can your body survive until the end of the exam?"

"It's not a big problem!"

"That's good!"

Kankuro put down the puppet behind him and sat side by side with Daimaru.

"You guy, your game just now was really impressive..."

"You have to have the strength to speak big words, otherwise it will be too embarrassing if your bullshit is blown."

"Puppetry, don't go any further."

Kankuro, who was joking, suddenly said something incomprehensible.

"What do you want to say?"

"Don't go any further. My brother-in-law will only be a living person in the future, not a cold puppet!"

"I understand, don't worry, it won't happen!"

"That's good. The puppet master who violates the taboo will not end well."

Every puppet master who studies the performance and human body skills carefully and manipulates his own body is a ruthless character. If he is not careful, he will fall into the taboo abyss of human puppets.

What's more, Daimaru is obsessed with adding a chakra circuit to the puppet for performing ninjutsu.

All this together makes one wonder whether Daimaru is training for a puppet producer.

"I'm so afraid of death that I won't take my own life for granted."

"Well! In addition, let me tell you some bad news. You and that thick-browed boy fought until blood was everywhere, which made Gaara seem to be interested..."

"This...isn't it? I can't bear Gaara's enthusiasm, not to mention he's still seriously injured..."

"Anyway, be careful and run away if something goes wrong. This is Konoha Village, Gaara should be restrained!"

While the two were chatting, the cleaning was completed and the next competition was about to begin.

The electronic screen started to flash again, a personal name flashed, and finally stopped.

Uzumaki Naruto VS Nighteye.

"Will the confrontation between Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja continue to the end?"

Daimaru smiled, stood up, and walked forward.

When your teammates are about to go on stage, you have to pay attention. Uzumaki Naruto is not strong now, and Yeme has no chance of winning.
