Red sand dust

In the past, the chunin exams in Sunagakure Village were only relevant to a small number of families. In addition, daily food and clothing were problems, so there was not enough attention to the rare collective event.

Only when he holds the joint chuunin exam with Konoha Village can he gain some attention.

Unfortunately, for this year's Chunin Examination, Sunagakure Village only obtained the right to host the first and second exams. The fully closed written examination and the competition in the "Demon Desert" are not suitable for ordinary people to watch.

There are gradually more and more outsiders coming and going to Sunagakure Village, and most of them are business travelers traveling north and south. It is still rare for so many ninjas from other villages to enter Sunagakure Village headquarters.

Especially ninjas wearing Iwagakure forehead protectors would always receive some unkind looks when walking on the street, but no unfriendly actions occurred.

The obviously repulsive attitude made Iwa Ninja a little unhappy, but no one said anything.

The treatment that Suna Ninja received when he went to Iwagakure Village was similar. The impulsive and irritable big guys might make things difficult for them even more exaggeratedly.

As for the ninjas in other villages, the ones that the villagers of Sunagakure disliked the most were not the Konoha ninjas, nor the Kumo ninjas and Kiri ninjas who had fought many wars, but the mysterious and weird Rain ninjas.

There were more conflicts between the water-scarce Sun Ninja and the flood-infested Rain Ninja because of the competition for territory than with the Konoha Ninjas. If it were not for the fact that it was located between the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth, its strategic location was very Important, it is the focus of competition among the major powers. The Rain Country may have been annexed by the Sand Ninja at all costs.

In the entire ninja world, the one who has the worst impression of Hanzo, the demigod of Amegakure Village, is Suna Ninja. If it weren't for his existence, the Land of Rain would have been gone long ago.

If you really want to talk about it, almost all the ninja villages that count have hatred between them, more or less.

In order to prevent private fights from happening, Temari and the members of the security department under her command are as close to a powerful enemy as possible. If there is an accident, they will quickly put out the flames of the fight.

"In the 'Demon Desert', there are plenty of opportunities to fight, so why be anxious!"

The security issues on the surface are indeed a headache, and the turmoil surging behind the scenes is also very alarming.

The Shadow Guards, operating at full speed, were too busy trying to repel the spies and detectives, and could only focus on preventing the assassination of Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage.

In the past few days, Kankuro has been guarding Gaara almost all the time and has been extremely busy; Daimaru is basically responsible for resisting the invasion of the "Akatsuki" organization.

At this moment, the puppet master at home, who was not in a very good state of mind, looked at the figure in front of him with confusion. He had short burgundy hair, pale skin, and was wearing a cloak similar to that of the Kazekage Godaime. He had his arms folded across his chest and his face was expressionless. He looked exactly like Gaara.

If he hadn't been extremely familiar with his brother and had a somewhat different temperament, Kankuro would have mistaken the person in front of him.

"This is……"

"Kagemusha, isn't it obvious? As a ninja, you don't even know this?"

"I understand this, but I don't understand, where did you get this body?"

Kankuro asked confused.

The so-called "Kagemusha", to put it simply, is a stand-in, a person who can attend events on his behalf on certain occasions, and can even die on his behalf at critical moments.

It is said that they are "warriors". In fact, most of the people who engage in this profession are ninjas with low status. They are born to be trained to die as warriors for their lords through fire and water.

It stands to reason that ninjas can basically use transformation techniques and various disguise techniques, so the existence of "Kagemusha" should be useless.

In fact, no ninjutsu is impeccable, and those who use ninjutsu will inevitably have flaws. A lifelike substitute cannot simply change his appearance.

As far as Daimaru knows, there are several "Kage Musha" among the daimyo of the Land of Wind. They have received excellent education since childhood, and used decoctions to adjust their body shape and appearance. They have a deep understanding of all aspects of the daimyo, and they are like real "shadows" integrated into the life of the master.

The disguise of an ordinary ninja is a joke in front of the "Kagemusha" who spend a lot of effort training.

There are even legends among the people about the rebellious "Shadow Warrior" who killed his master and replaced him for decades. It was not until his body was checked after death that the clues were discovered.

Kankuro knew that Gaara did not have a "Kagemusha", and there was no such tradition in Sunagakure Village.

"Is it because you have another breakthrough in puppetry, or is it biological cloning technology?"

"It can be regarded as the product of the combination of the two!"

Daimaru answered vaguely, and moved the puppet that looked exactly like Gaara back and forth.

"The technology is still extremely immature. It can only last for no more than a week before it collapses..."

To be able to become a Jinchuuriki, Gaara's physique is undoubtedly excellent, and his cell activity is much higher than that of ordinary ninjas, but his clones still cannot escape the sharp reduction in lifespan.

Accumulating vitality to keep biological puppets active for longer is not only inefficient, but also has limits.

Of course, Daimaru took out the semi-finished product not for research, but for emergency use.

"How strong is this puppet? Can it inherit Gaara's magnetic escape?"

After sizing up the "Kagemusha" in front of him, Kankuro rubbed his chin and asked.

"no!"

Daimaru shook his head regretfully.

Nowadays, only through Ukon's blood successor boundary and the parasitic ghost evil technique, with the blessing of senjutsu chakra, can we simulate the fairy magic and teleportation distance shadow and reproduce the power of a few blood successor boundaries, and there are many restrictions. The success rate of the "materials" for planting the curse seal is okay, but the other ones are very difficult. The abilities of the five sound ninjas are the most perfect, but Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan seems to be missing something. Falling short of success.

"I'm not sure yet, but I have a preliminary idea that the so-called 'blood inheritance limit' is definitely not only passed down by blood, but also requires a certain soul essence passed down by chakra..."

The phenomenon of atavism does not mean that the limit of blood inheritance can be reproduced. Astonishing talents and beauty are like the Sage of Six Paths. The Sharingan was only awakened after being greatly stimulated after growing up.

There are many blood inheritance limits that have potential but have never been realized. Why are some able to awaken easily while others have a hard time awakening?

The fusion and reappearance of the five sound ninjas is due to the curse seal as a link, the Sharingan cannot be successfully reproduced, and the clones of Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata cannot awaken the Byakugan. It is most likely that they are missing one key thing. , such as "pupil power".

As for what the truth is, Daimaru has to continue to research.

"It can only serve as a substitute, so it's useless..."

Kankuro was a little disappointed. If this kind of puppet could be more powerful, the pressure on the Shadow Guards would be much less.

Daimaru smiled slightly:

"With his own strength, he is slightly stronger than the average chuunin. However, I am a puppet master. I can 'load' a batch of 'plug-in weapons' for him, which is also very good..."
