Red sand dust

Even lingering fear is not enough to describe what Daimaru was thinking at this time. It was really terrible to feel that the crisis of death was right in front of him. He had never experienced such a dangerous situation since he was swallowed by the quicksand sea more than two years ago and narrowly escaped death.

"If you hesitate for a while longer, I will probably die, just one step away..."

After pouring himself a large glass of cold water and taking a few gulps to suppress his shock, Daimaru finally regained his composure.

"We have been through wind and rain for so many years, and we almost capsized in a small ditch..."

Participating in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" seems very dangerous, but with proper planning and not being greedy for petty gains, the danger is still controllable; the time I was chased by Kakuzu and Hidan was considered a near miss, after all, I have my love by my side. Luo, the one-tailed jinchūriki, can fight as long as he unfolds the tailed beast in its entirety, and then he can just wait for an opportunity to escape; in the battle with Ohnoki, Daimaru's accurate strength, the opponent's judgment made a huge error, whether it was mental calculation or not. However, the chance of victory is still very high.

The moment he was closest to death was when he was besieged by Loess and his Iwa ninja near Kikyo Mountain Castle in the Land of Fire. If the Konoha ninjas had delayed the rescue, or deliberately sat back and watched the Suna ninjas besieged, there would probably be no subsequent story.

If you are not strong enough to fall into danger, or are unable to control your destiny, leaving your future in the hands of others is what Daimaru has always tried to avoid. Today's experience can be regarded as a wake-up call for Daimaru who has been going smoothly.

"Didn't you say it before, 'Those who are good at wandering will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall'? It is not uncommon to learn that one's hobby leads to disaster. Why have you been careless this time?"

After some observation, they found that Daimaru was not injured. Temari also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked probingly,

"What trouble did you get into just now?"

Daimaru shook his head and replied:

"Because of greed, I lost my vigilance and was bitten by the forbidden technique..."

The power of Death is not very powerful, but it is too weird. It does not look like a complete creature, but the embodiment of a plug-in embedded in the underlying rules of the ninja world, and the "Cradle Garden" jointly established by Daimaru and Miss Saya "It's almost the same as "artificial elf", only more sophisticated. After all, it is a forbidden technique created by the Uzumaki family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Daimaru is not sure that he can catch up or even surpass it in a short time.

Daimaru said as he took out the death mask and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

"That's it. This ghost thing looks inconspicuous, but it can awaken the top sealing technique in the ninja world. The price it needs to pay is also amazing..."

Without the support of power, the death mask that originally exuded terrifying power was not much different from the traditional "neng mask".

"very dangerous?"

Temari came over and looked at her carefully.

"It doesn't look anything special!"

"As long as you don't bring it and use chakra to connect it, there is no danger..."

The shuddering feeling that one's soul is in the grip of death and can be swallowed up at any time, even if it is indirect contact, is unforgettable.

"Then why didn't you throw it away?"

"Useful! The function of this thing is actually similar to the two portraits Kurama Yakumo gave me. It can provide special perception for ninjas who meet the conditions..."

The death mask can help awaken the god of death, and the two self-portraits are regarded as windows through the "Cradle Garden".

"That's it!"

Temari, who really couldn't see the mystery, looked away and looked at Daimaru, who was gradually regaining his energy, and his pale face turned a little red.

"With your strength, do you still need to use such a dangerous forbidden technique? Aren't the immortal modes and blood inheritance limits enough for you? Are you going to risk yourself to pursue such dangerous power?"

"How to describe it?"

Daimaru paused and continued,

"How to describe the power of the 'shadow' level is quite troublesome. In another year or two, you will almost be able to experience it! Basically, one or several ninjas who are regarded as the 'shadow' combat power They have almost reached the limit of human beings. Their strength is slightly higher, but there is no essential difference. In addition to 'horizontal' expansion and becoming more comprehensive and better at fighting, if you want to keep up with the next level, you must use 'inhumans' The power is beyond the limits of mortals. There is no doubt that these are basically forbidden arts. There are very few exceptions. They are either against human ethics or extremely dangerous and require a huge price to succeed..."

Temari, who was listening quietly, couldn't help but interject and asked:

"Isn't there a safe way to break through?"

Daimaru smiled slightly:

"Yes, yes! For example, if you have a god-like ancestor, you can tap into the power of your bloodline and trace your origins; or you are a once-in-a-millennium genius who can break the shackles of mortals through your own efforts; or you have monstrous luck and inherit a certain The inheritance and power of super strong people..."

After hearing Daimaru's words getting more and more outrageous, Temari waved her hand:

"Don't talk about these plot points that are rarely written in vulgar novels circulated in the ninja world! What I want to ask is, with your accumulation of strength and the support of the entire village, can you not do it?"

"If only it were that easy..."

Daimaru explained with a wry smile,

"Masters like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara cannot be achieved by accumulating resources, let alone..."

Lowering his voice slightly, Daimaru said quietly:

"The enemies we encounter in the future may be more difficult..."

"Such an exaggeration..."

Temari was shocked. She had only seen Daimaru a little anxious about the future, but she never thought it would be such a trouble.

"Then... wouldn't the entire ninja world be involved?"

"There is no need to worry too much. If there is a crisis that affects the entire ninja world, there will naturally be a 'savior' who is called upon to step forward..."

Daimaru said comfortingly,

"Didn't I say it before? We Sand Ninja are just 'partners of justice'. Even if the sky falls, the Leaf Village will hold it up!"

While the two were talking, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky outside the window, bringing some light to the extremely dark early morning.

It was almost dawn, and there began to be sounds of people walking on the street outside.

At the same time, Chaoyan, who had spent too much and was a little low on energy, also regained a little vitality.

"Father, it feels so dangerous, that shadow that smells like death..."

"Thank you for your hard work, as well as Yamabuki, Kashiwagi and Xiyan..."

In addition, there are also those "allies" who have been alarmed. Whether they are providing support or just showing concern, Daimaru has to go and say hello one by one to calm down the floating people's hearts. Uncle "Red Sand" Safe and sound, I put away all the little thoughts that were about to happen.

As for the Hidden Leaf Village, Daimaru has already taken the concealment measures. Perhaps experts with keen senses can detect it, but it is definitely impossible to understand what happened specifically.
