Red sand dust

You can't win if you fight, and you don't necessarily have any hope of winning if you lose.

When he was young, Onoki might have had the pride to never give up until he reached his goal, but now that he is old and frail, and his chakra and physical strength are almost at the bottom, it is inevitable that he will shrink back.

Survival from desperate situations is a treatment that only the child of destiny can enjoy. Ohnoki, who has already passed his prime, does not think that he will be that lucky. His helpers are still Suna ninjas like Daimaru who have ulterior motives.

"Back off!"

There is no need to force things that are hopeless. The "Will of Stone" in Iwagakure Village is not the recklessness of not hitting the wall and never looking back.

“It’s affordable to hold and put down, and it’s grand!”

Daimaru grinned and couldn't help but extend his thumb to the old man opposite.

"The Jinchuuriki was captured, but Yun Danfeng could just smile and pass by..."

Standing and talking without hurting his back, and saying sarcastic words made Onomu's blood boil, and he wanted to tear his laughing mouth to pieces. Unfortunately, he was too weak now, and he was unsure of how to use his hands, and it was even more embarrassing to use his mouth.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Onoki snorted coldly:

"Isn't it thanks to you? I was inexperienced the first time, but I was much more calm the second time..."

The four-tailed jinchuriki, Lao Zi, had already endured the humiliation of being captured and sold once. Unexpectedly, more than half a year later, the five-tailed jinchuriki could not keep it.

"Old man, only by being calm can you live a long life! Look at the juniors in Iwagakure Village. Not many of them have achieved success. Their performance in the Chuunin Exams this time is also unsatisfactory. The slogans were shouted loudly. How can you pass the exam? Not many people get the chance! From now on, I have to rely on you to pay more attention, but don’t get angry because of this trivial matter..."

"With your good words, I'm very well and I won't have any problem living for another thirty years!"

"Since you're fine, I'll take my leave! As a Suna ninja, I still feel a little embarrassed when I help the Tsuchikage..."

The big-nosed old man with a beard is really not a good person to talk to. If it weren't for the Tsuchikage Sandaime who would be the main force against Uchiha Madara in the future, Daimaru wouldn't even bother to help.

"Let's go, don't send me away!"

Onoki, who had no intention of holding back or expressed any thanks, said bluntly,

"By the way, didn't you catch someone? If you find anything, you have to give it to Yanyin Village. After all, I also contributed..."

"This doesn't hurt!"

Daimaru, who was about to leave, turned around and said seriously,

"Our Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village share a high degree of information. If Iwa Ninja wants to know more, it would be better to ask the Hokage directly..."

Onoki sneered:

"So-called allies can't even exchange information on their own?"

"Old man, you don't need to provoke me, and there is no need to sow discord between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village! Besides, the Akatsuki organization is so dangerous and a public enemy of the entire ninja world. It is natural that the leader of the ninja world should charge into the battle. Why should we do it? Why are you trying so hard to save face? Look at what happened to you. It’s a lesson learned from the past! Also, I’m not Feng Ying. Some things don’t count even if I say them. There’s no point in trying to bully me with words..."

After saying that, Daimaru turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance, leaving only some tail sounds.

"There is no tailed beast in Iwagakure now. The Akatsuki organization will not target them in the short term, but it is hard to say in the future! It's just that you just back down. If you want to seek revenge from the Akatsuki organization, just Go find cooperation with the Leaf Village, it is better than Lord Tsuchikage fighting alone..."

It wasn't until Daimaru's figure disappeared from the end of his sight that Onoki's stretched figure showed signs of exhaustion.

"What a cunning guy. He doesn't respect the old or the young at all. He doesn't care about the face of the so-called strong man at all..."

After thinking this, Onoki took a deep breath.

"Iwa Ninja just lacks this kind of guy who is strong, has good vision, and knows when to be shameless and rogue..."

The group of guys in the village who are pretty strong but have elm-headed heads are really worrying. As Daimaru said, if Ohnoki is gone, there will be no one who can take the lead.

Half an hour later, Huang Tu, who was belatedly arriving, finally caught up with the elite of the demolition force, but unfortunately it was too late.

…

In the "Devil's Desert", a sudden sandstorm struck. Not only the candidates were shocked, but even the examiner Long Sha was caught off guard?

"Is this also the exam scene you expected?"

Morinoi, who was watching, realized that something was wrong.

"This kind of weather is really difficult for those genin candidates..."

While Longsha frequently ordered his subordinates to take emergency measures, he replied:

"It is expected that there will definitely be one, but it is not like now. Rescue should have been arranged in advance..."

"Then...should the exam continue?"

Morino Ibixi asked worriedly.

"Of course we have to continue. The temporary shelters have been marked on the map sent to each team before the exam. Just enter them and wait for the sandstorm to pass!"

Get up before dark, midnight passes, the candidates take a nap, and dawn is another overly sunny day.

Knowing that someone would take advantage of the Chunin Examination in the "Demon Desert" to take action, how could Daimaru not take measures?

"In that case, why are you so anxious? Could it be that..."

Longsha shook his head:

"It's our Suna Ninja's own problem, don't worry, it will be solved soon..."

The plans of Fu Yi and some of his subordinates were not top secret. Neutrals like Long Sha did not want to go to war. They had been working hard to reconcile with Xini and let time eliminate the differences. Unfortunately, they did not succeed in the end.

"I hope so!"

The scar-faced ninja understands that there is internal disagreement in Sunagakure Village, which affects the arrangement of the chuunin exams. Moreover, it seems to be a contest of understanding. Both sides have a tacit understanding. They are just using the candidates in the "Devil's Desert" as tools, rather than trying to fight against them. They do something!

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly came forward and whispered a few words to Long Sha.

"So fast?"

The examiner looked surprised.

It had just begun, and the Shadow Guards were already preparing to dispatch. It seemed that Gaara was also prepared.

At this moment, in the invisible sandstorm on the opposite side, the candidates who had seen the opportunity early had already taken shelter. Only two groups of unlucky ones who were slow to react and lost their way were still looking for shelter.

The high-altitude surveillance cameras have lost their function, and the original tight protection has also exposed loopholes, which just gives some people who are ready to take action an opportunity.

Accordingly, the few remaining members of the Shadow Guard were divided into several squads and patrolled in slightly narrow puppets to prevent the enemy from attacking candidates who were unable to protect themselves.

Among them, Kankuro, who is operating with Gaara's "Kagemusha", is the most nervous. Assassins targeting Gaara may appear at any time.

That’s just one chapter today, I’ll make it up tomorrow
