Red sand dust

All in all, looking at the current situation, the development direction of ninjutsu should be based on wind escape, supplemented by puppetry and sand manipulation ninjutsu.

It doesn't matter how bright the future is. If there hadn't been the Fourth Ninja War, in a few years, it wouldn't be a problem to become a jounin of Sunagakure Village step by step. This is already the limit that most civilian Sunagakure can imagine. .

However, if you want to go further, you have to rely on blood inheritance limits, senjutsu, tailed beasts and other powers. This is no longer something Daimaru can make up for through hard work. If you want to obtain these extraordinary powers, luck may be more important than hard work.

There are too few blood inheritance limits in Sand Hidden Village. The Burning Release has been lost with the death of Ye Cang. The source of the Magnet Release is Shukaku One, which is only spread among the Kazekage lineage. Daimaru cannot be counted on.

As for the blood inheritance limits of other ninja villages, they don't have the same conditions as Orochimaru. If you want to start biochemical research from scratch in Sunagakure Village, don't count on it.

Tailed Beast Daimaru didn't dare to stretch out his hand, that thing would die if he touched it now, and I don't know how many people were watching.

As for magic, this is the most promising, but also the most dangerous.

There is no chance in Miaomu Mountain and Shigu Forest. As long as the location of Longdi Cave can be found, White Snake Immortal doesn't seem to mind people visiting, as long as he can pass the trial and survive after injecting natural energy.

Of course, the difficulty lies in those "buts". Even Orochimaru can't learn the snake magic, so Daimaru doesn't expect too much. It's better to get one or two curse seals.

"Curse seal, is there any hope?" 』

Thinking of this, Daimaru put down the scroll in his hand.

It is definitely not feasible to test the technique on one's own body, even if it is a degraded version of Senjutsu chakra that contains a lot of Orochimaru's private goods, it is quite dangerous.

The survival rate of ninjas who receive the curse seal is less than one tenth. Gambling on luck is not Daimaru's strong point. He has had a lot of bad luck since he was a child.

It's too dangerous to go into battle yourself, it's much safer to capture a ninja with a cursed seal.

But after capture, how to use it?

Daimaru looked at the abilities he had mastered. Wind Release and Sand Ninjutsu did not have such functions. The rest was...

"Puppet technique, the Sandaime Kazekage, human puppet..."

In an instant, Daimaru's eyes lit up,

"Human puppets can retain and reproduce the blood inheritance boundary and chakra. That magic...no, it's the curse seal chakra. Can it be reproduced?" 』

The outcome is uncertain, after all, even the Red Sand Scorpion has never tried such a thing.

"Human puppet..."

Daimaru lowered his head and pondered.

This thing is not a taboo technique that can be fooled by just joking. Once it is discovered, it will either be detained and tortured by Sunagakure Village, or it will become a rebel ninja, which is not what Daimaru wants.

"I have to think of something, at least make some preparations first..."

In the past, Daimaru did not consider this aspect, but now that he has reached this point, he is stuck in this embarrassing situation of neither going up nor down.

If you really have the chance to get one or two powerful ninja corpses, should you use them or not?

Although I haven't yet had a piece of luck come from heaven, and I haven't even learned how to make a human puppet yet, there are some things that I can really think about in advance.

However, for the current matter, it is better to study the few ninjutsu on the scroll sent by Otokaze, at least to get through the "Konoha Collapse Plan" safely first.

The ward is not a good place to practice ninjutsu.

Forget about Wind Release and Gale Wind Palm, you can control it well and you can basically just turn it around in your hand. Wind Release Vacuum Jade is more difficult. It spits Wind Release Chakra from its mouth to attack enemies in the distance. If you accidentally damage something in the hospital, you will have to pay for it.

Konoha Village has prepared a special training ground for the promoted genin of Sunagakure Village. Since each candidate is given a month to do targeted training, it is certainly not possible to favor one.

Unfortunately, Daimaru's current condition is not suitable for going out to practice ninjutsu.

Resting peacefully and recovering from injuries as soon as possible are the top priorities at the moment.

…

Early the next morning, the eliminated candidates from Sunagakure Village returned one after another.

The sun has not yet risen, and a fish-belly white has just emerged in the east. On the top floor of the Konohagakure Ninja Hospital, Daimaru, Kankuro, and Temari looked at the somewhat dull Sunagakure Village genin and returned in disappointment.

"We're the only ones left!"

If it weren't for Daimaru's influence, Sunagakure Village's process of participating in the Chunin Exam would not have been so troubled.

While the process is somewhat different, the difference in results is not huge.

"How are your injuries?"

Kankuro crossed his arms and looked at where the sun was rising.

"If you can't hold it, don't force it!"

"It should be no problem. The medical ninjutsu in Konoha Village is very powerful."

The ninja's footsteps were very fast. The candidates who had been eliminated had nothing to stay in Konoha Village and quickly disappeared into the distance.

On the avenue in front of the hospital below, Sarutobi Asuma led three discharged students away.

Among the Konoha ninjas, except Rock Lee who was the most seriously injured, the others were basically unharmed.

Among the sand ninjas, Ziluo's injuries were also relatively serious, but they were mostly internal injuries and required more rest, but did not affect his movements.

As for the dead Ken Meicheng, as well as the red copper armor who was carried away with serious injuries and whose life or death was unknown, let alone the two Sound Ninja spies.

"Daimaru, Temari and I are leaving Konoha the day after tomorrow, and Gaara is coming with us. We'll come back in a few days..."

Looking at the gradually increasing number of people below, Kankuro suddenly spoke.

"Leave? Doesn't that mean I'm the only one in Konoha Village?"

"No, there are other Suna ninjas in Konoha Village who have something to do, but you are the only genin candidate these days. Who makes you injured and unable to travel far!"

"That's really..."

Daimaru sneered in his heart, even if he was unscathed now, it would be impossible for Daimaru to participate in anything important.

"It's good to stay. The food here is good. I'm very satisfied..."

As for where Temari, Kankuro and Gaara were going, Daimaru didn't want to ask more.

Depending on the situation, final arrangements must be made. Some things are difficult to explain in Konoha Village. Maybe there are some powerful investigative methods that can detect the Suna Ninja's plan.

As for the location, it’s probably in Kikyoyama Castle!

It is not far or near from Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village. According to the armistice agreement between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village, there are resident ninjas from Sunagakure Village there, and the fourth generation of Kazekage can convey any orders in time.

Of course, another important reason for letting Gaara, Kankuro and Temari leave temporarily is that the state of the One-Tail Jinchuuriki is becoming increasingly unstable.

The Chunin Exam gave Gaara too many stimulating signals. In order to safely implement the "Konoha Collapse Plan" and enable him to successfully liberate the One-Tailed Shukaku in Konoha Village, the seal must be slightly adjusted.

And this is absolutely impossible to implement in Konoha Village.
