Red sand dust

It is quite hard to persuade others, especially when that person is your brother-in-law and you cannot deal with it.

After convincing Kankuro not to worry about such trivial matters, Daimaru chatted with him about his experience in controlling the puppets of the Kazekage Sandaime.

The Magnetic Release and Sand Iron Secret Technique has relatively high requirements for chakra manipulation ability. Fortunately, Kankuro is indeed talented in the field of puppetry and can use it freely in a short time.

In the future, when Gaara encounters strong enemies, especially flying masters, and the other Suna ninjas are unable to help, it would be great if Kankuro could step forward and provide support.

Daimaru had too many things to consider. There were so many masters in the "Akatsuki" organization who could destroy a small country by themselves, and most of the Jinchuriki were guys who didn't make anyone worry.

Although you don’t need to arrange everything in detail, you still need to make some preparations in advance.

Not long ago, Yome spotted the figures of Kakuzu and Hidan in the direction of the Country of Grass, heading towards the Country of Wind.

As for Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame, the last time we received news about them, they were stranded in the country of Taki. Now they are missing, which is worrying.

Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan Eye, and Konan, who can fly, have been acting together. Daimaru judged that the possibility of them going deep into the Kingdom of Wind to attack Sunagakure Village was relatively small. A tailed beast was not worthy of a big fight, but it was Roku who had defected. The tailed jinchuriki Han Gao and the five-tailed jinchuriki whose status is unknown are worrying.

Not long ago, the "Quick Rescue Team" asked Ohnoki about the rumors about the serious conflict between the Jinchūriki and the village's non-unification, but Ohnoki ignored it because he did not want his family's scandal to be publicized.

What worries Daimaru the most is the elusive Uchiha Obito and Zetsu. The last time they attacked Daimaru, they were severely punished. He doesn't know how long they can stay honest.

No matter what, Daimaru will do his best to ensure that the first and second trials of this joint chunin exam pass smoothly.

The grudge between Gaara and Fu Yi must be settled, and the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki Fu cannot be captured by the "Akatsuki" organization in the Kingdom of Wind.

After the third trial, after heading to the Land of Fire, a Konoha ninja took over, and it was no longer the Suna ninja's business.

As for whether there is a chance to kill one or two official members of the "Akatsuki" organization in advance, Daimaru does not insist on it. Sunagakure Village has already done enough to kill the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.

At the training ground, Daimaru felt a little relieved as he watched Kankuro flexibly manipulate sand iron and maintain a certain level of air combat capability.

…

When the second test of the Joint Chunin Examination began, Daimaru left Sunagakure Village and came to a place not far from the border of Rain Country, looking down at the country shrouded in rain clouds.

There is no intention to hide it at all, the chakra is overflowing, and as long as a ninja with strong perception ability can detect the abnormality.

"I'm right here. If your main force is not in the Kingdom of Rain, then I will take the opportunity to go in and find out what's going on!" 』

At the top of the spire of the Kingdom of Rain, Nagato and Konan did not appear. Uchiha Obito and Zetsu looked up at the sky. Their eyes seemed to penetrate the thick rain clouds and see the majestic Daimaru high in the sky.

"Are you trying to contain us?"

A very strange tone sounded,

"Sure enough, they have begun to doubt the Kingdom of Rain, and they are quite confident, otherwise they would not target this place so unscrupulously..."

For so many years, the "Akatsuki" organization has used this place as its headquarters and implemented strict blockade orders. The outside world didn't even know that this country, which has been shrouded in heavy rain all year round, has changed its leader.

"'Mystery' itself is a very eye-catching strategy, and it is normal for it to be discovered. I just didn't expect it to be so fast!"

Before this year's joint chuunin exam, Kakashi Hatake, the "copy ninja" of Konoha Village, came to investigate in the name of delivering an invitation letter, but there was no way to use the all-pervasive Rain Tiger Free Technique. loopholes, and ultimately had to return without success.

"Anyway, this is just the shelter of the Akatsuki organization, and it is not our fundamental location. As long as the Heretic Golem and the Samsara Eye are still there, the Kingdom of Rain and so on are irrelevant..."

"The capture of the tailed beast should be fruitful, otherwise, those official members would not be so honest..."

Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito's retreating back and said,

"Where do you want to go without driving that guy off the top?"

"Wait for Nagato and Xiaonan to come back and take action yourself. We are not the owners of this place, so there is no need to meddle in other people's business..."

What's more, it can't fly and can't be driven away. If one is not careful and is locked by the Puppet Curse Killing Technique, it won't be worth wasting the Sharingan to cast the forbidden technique Izanagi.

"Where is the Uchiha Obito who once dared to venture into Konoha Village alone? It's really disappointing..."

"We have long passed the time of being competitive. When the Ten-Tails is resurrected, all the troubles we have had will not be worth mentioning. Why bother?"

Nagato and Konan have already locked on the first target, and their desire to resurrect the Ten-Tails is not necessarily weaker than that of Uchiha Obito, but the result may not be what they want.

…

At a certain entrance of the "Devil Desert" where wind and sand were raging, the candidates who wrote their names on the certificate of life and death drew lots to determine the entry number.

"Note that the number of the entrance is determined based on the order in which temporary shelters were opened many years ago. The next door to No. 2 is not No. 1 and No. 3. It may even be at the two poles of the 'Demon Desert'. Do not locate it based on the numbers drawn. . In this 'Battle Royale' test, there are no additional regulations except for those stated in the test rules. After three days, the three people in the group who are still capable of fighting will pass! Finally, you need to remember that being eliminated does not mean that there is no chance of promotion. Chuunin, as long as you perform well during the exam, you may be eliminated due to accidents due to uncontrollable circumstances, and you may receive high evaluations and be promoted..."

The first trial is just the beginning, the third trial is the arena for top talents, and the second trial is when the gap widens.

Ten minutes later, the genin teams that had taken their final rest were carried by small airlift puppets one by one, flew to the corresponding location and were released.

Parachutes floated down like dandelions. After reaching the ground, each team quickly left the place and hid their positions to prevent being ambushed.

Nara Shikamaru, who reunited with Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji in a short time, looked up and looked around.

"This kind of ghost place is really not suitable for my performance!"

The Nara clan, who are good at shadow secret arts, are really at a disadvantage in the "Demon Desert" where there is nothing superfluous and even the conditions for forming shadows are lacking.

All kinds of fantastic ideas and powerful tactics are completely useless.

"In short, rest first, save your energy and chakra, wait until the 'Circle of Divine Punishment' shrinks, try the difference between the inside and outside of the circle, and then make a plan..."
