Red sand dust

Generally speaking, no matter what type of alliance, non-aggression pact, disarmament agreement or even curbing the arms race, as long as there is a competitive relationship, the relationship will definitely develop towards a more unstable trend!

Most of the team of genin candidates who are working hard in the "Demon Desert" will encounter difficulties that are difficult to overcome by their own abilities, so seeking cooperation is a normal choice.

Because there are no "scroll battle" rules, even if you lose the battle, it does not mean elimination. As long as you can maintain your combat effectiveness, find enough survival materials, and persist until the end, you can still advance.

Underneath the obvious means of competition, challenge, alliance, detour, etc., there is also an unexplained method hidden - to win over and surrender.

Selling the team's strength in exchange for a chance to survive or even advance is also an optional method.

Strategies such as hypocrisy, surrender, and gentleness are still worth trying when you are strong but not safe enough, and you are weak but have considerable strength.

"In the absence of absolutely irreconcilable conflicts, it is really difficult for these genin to avoid a head-on fight that lacks room for maneuver and to cooperate in a way that each gets what they need."

Morino Yibi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Historically, in the second test of the Chunin Examination, "Scrolls of Heaven" and "Scrolls of Earth" were always arranged and distributed to the candidates, and the battles were forced to be arranged with rules, just to simplify the contradiction, just like Daimaru used to use fake scrolls to pass the exam. This mess is unique, because most candidates are unable to break through the limitations of their thinking, and regard the examiner and rules as one of the obstacles to advancement.

In the second test of the Chunin Exam held in the "Demon Desert" this time, the irreconcilable "scroll battle" has been removed. The biggest threat to the candidates is no longer other candidates, but the harsh environment and advance arrangements. trap.

"It is estimated that it is very difficult for any candidate to achieve the preset bonus points. How to use your own strength to leverage other candidates as your own support, strength and wisdom are both indispensable..."

"It's hard to say!"

Morino Ihiki looked at the situation of Nara Shikamaru's team, as well as the direction of Haruno Sakura, Kurama Yakumo and Shiho,

“There are always some more ‘precocious’ geniuses that surprise people!”

"I am looking forward!"

Long Sha nodded unnaturally.

This year's joint chuunin exam is still the pattern of Suna ninja challenging Konoha ninja. Unfortunately, most of the young geniuses of Konoha village from two years ago are still there, and the top Suna ninja have been promoted and no longer participate in the chunin exam.

The ones that can be favored are the team of Saya, Shana and Murasaki, as well as the temporary combination of Ikusamaru, Manseki and Asakaze. The former has rich experience, weird and powerful ninjutsu; the latter has strong frontal combat capabilities. As long as they pass the second test, their excellent swordsmanship and ninjutsu will surprise people.

After noon, the hottest part of the day passed, and the dormant candidates became active again, heading towards the "Devil's Desert", or chasing airdrops to hunt for rare supplies.

Longsha was a little tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was tiring to observe for a long time, and there was a limit to how he could rely on tea to refresh himself.

Soon after, the ninjas from the barrier class who were responsible for monitoring weather changes in the "Demon Desert" came to make a routine report.

"everything is normal! 』

This season is a time when sandstorms are common. Ordinary bad weather has little impact on ninjas, but the kind of huge sandstorms that cover the sky, fly sand and rocks, and look like the end of the world, even the experienced Sunagakure Murjonin dare not wander in at will. .

As the examiner of the second exam, Long Sha has a lot of responsibility, so he naturally hopes to spend the next two days safely.

At the same time, Gaara, who also received the information, sighed slightly.

"It just so happens that at this time, it really can't end peacefully!" 』

Fu Yi is one of the founders of a large-scale surveillance barrier. In the barrier team, countless people work for him openly or covertly, and it is easy to cover up the information about the upcoming sandstorm.

If Daimaru and Gaara hadn't had another source of information, they would have been kept in the dark.

Fu Yi and his opponents still did not miss the last chance.

After pondering for a moment, a martial law order was issued to strengthen patrols. After finishing the more urgent work at hand, Gaara was ready to set off to preside over the arrangements after the second trial.

Personal guard Kankuro was a little confused:

"Isn't it a little early at this time?"

"Go and make arrangements!"

Gaara ordered with great certainty,

"The examiners and teachers in other villages must also be prepared. If something goes wrong, they must be comforted in time!"

Although the ninja world is relatively harmonious now, this superficial stability cannot withstand any test. If this chunin exam is misunderstood due to internal problems in Sunagakure Village, the loss in reputation will not be made up for many years. .

"I see!"

Kankuro suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Daimaru had previously sent a human puppet to the Third Kazekage and arranged for a "Kagemusha", probably just to come in handy at this time.

"In addition, let the medical team be prepared, and the Shadow Guards are also on standby, ready to attack..."

"Then... who is the enemy? We can prepare in advance..."

"No enemies!"

Gaara replied very seriously,

“Just increase the rescue efforts for the candidates of ‘Demon Desert’!”

From the very beginning, Gaara did not regard Fuyi as an enemy, and he did not want to see it come to the point of a military confrontation.

"However, the main responsibility of the Shadow Guards is to protect Feng Ying, and rescue is not their area of ​​expertise..."

The Shadow Guards don't have enough manpower, and if they are too distracted, they may leave holes in their defense.

"Let Teacher Maki send manpower to support! And Temari will also ask the security department to assist..."

"All right!"

Since Gaara had already thought of it, Kankuro had no choice but to execute it.

"Where's Daimaru? With him and the air combat troops here, we should be able to share a lot of the pressure!"

"He has another mission!"

Gaara shook his head slightly.

It was a strategy that had been discussed long ago to leave the external enemies to Daimaru and Gaara to do his best to pacify the enemy.

What's more, a big sandstorm is about to hit, and air combat troops cannot function in such a harsh environment. They still have to rely on ground troops to maintain order.

…

Seeing the destroyed human realm being resurrected by the hell realm again, Ohnoki suddenly felt weak all over. He had cast the dust escape and original world peeling technique too many times, and his chakra was overdrawn a lot. The discomfort that he had suppressed came over him. One can't help but feel a sense of despair.

"Do you still want to pursue me?"

After fighting for a long time, Daimaru no longer maintained the sage mode after consuming a lot of money. He just used puppets and wind escape ninjutsu to contain him. Unfortunately, the powerful secret technique, Hongtian Sword, moved too much and was easier to dodge...
