Red sand dust

When Gaara learned of the urgent information from Daimaru, his first reaction was to consider whether the "Akatsuki" organization was coming for him.

Except for the six-tailed jinchuriki Yu Gao who has not yet been found, the one with the worst defense now is the one-tailed jinchuriki.

The powerful eight-tailed jinchuriki Kirabi is powerful, and the two-tailed jinchuriki's true identity has not yet been revealed. The two are under the protection of the Kumo ninja who is not easy to mess with.

After the defeat of the "Konoha Collapse Plan", the strength of the Suna Ninja was passively weakened a lot. In two or three years, it was not easy to make a difference. There were still too few capable Jonin, and the gap was still obvious. of.

What's even more troublesome is that Sunagakure Village is isolated in the vast sea of ​​sand. It is difficult to defend and support. The several fortresses guarding the border between Rain Country and Sawa Country can block the invasion of large-scale ninja troops, but they are completely unable to resist it. Infiltration by a small elite.

There are no strongholds around, and the "Akatsuki" organization can easily attack the headquarters of Sunagakure Village.

After weighing it for a moment, Gaara made up his mind to pass the news to Konoha Village and at the same time ask the air combat troops who assisted in garrisoning Kikyo Mountain Castle to provide support.

"Gaara, don't you mobilize manpower to strengthen defense?"

Sensing the movement of the host, the one-tailed Shukaku inside the body asked with a little doubt,

"There might be a bait over there to attract attention..."

"I know! The enemy's target is most likely me, but Feng Ying cannot hide behind his compatriots..."

Gaara answered calmly, while also steeling himself.

Daimaru has said before that it should be one or two years before the "Akatsuki" organization launches a large-scale operation, but this deadline is very unreliable.

The five-tailed Jinchuuriki Han has been captured, and the three-tailed Isotani was almost captured by Uchiha Itachi and Gigangaki Kisame.

When the enemy takes action depends on when the opponent can free his hands.

It is certain that it takes time to accumulate strength, but now the ninja world has cross-ninja village organizations "quick rescue team" and "sniper team", whose purpose is to protect the tailed beasts and jinchuriki, and to clear out the rebel ninja, which will lead to invisibility The activity space of the "Akatsuki" organization in the dark has been greatly compressed, and the consequence is to force those lawless rebels to take action in advance.

Not strong enough?

Inadequate preparation?

These reasons are not enough to explain the problem!

Konoha Village is so powerful that the "Akatsuki" organization cannot attack it without using all its strength; Kumo Ninja is not much weaker, and a head-on confrontation will only lead to losses for both sides.

Sunagakure Village is a bit embarrassing, it's covered in thorns, but it's not so powerful that people can't attack it.

The biggest problem is that there is not enough foundation, and there are too few masters who can compete with the S-class rebellious ninja. In another year or two, there may be some available talent emerging. Now, the Sand Ninja's gradually solid foundation and rapidly expanding basic base have revitalized Sand Hidden Village at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it will take some growth time to convert the potential into solid combat effectiveness.

"If things are really irreversible, leave me alone. Tailed beasts are immortal. As long as I defeat the Akatsuki organization, I can be resurrected..."

"You do know something, does Daimaru know it too?"

"Maybe……"

Ichibi Shukaku responded vaguely,

"The Eye of Reincarnation! Maybe it's time for the prophecy to come true! I can't completely confirm the truth, but I hope we can see each other again in the future..."

It was like a farewell confession, spoken in Ichibi Shukaku's weird accent, it always felt weird and made Gaara couldn't help but smile.

"You may not lose, and the Sand Ninja are not easy to mess with!"

Gaara took off his hat, took off his spacious Kazekage cloak, and changed into a light, slim-fitting robe. Gaara put aside all his mundane duties, walked out of Kazekage's house, and climbed to the rooftop terrace, feeling lost in the breeze blowing from the sky.

Sensing something a little off in the atmosphere, bodyguard Kankuro walked in and asked:

"Is it dangerous?"

"Um!"

Gaara was still very satisfied with this brother who didn't say much, but in the work of the Shadow Guards, he always showed some unnecessary excessive care of his eldest brother, which made people a little embarrassed.

Of course, it’s not that annoying. All in all, he is a competent bodyguard and family member.

"Let the Shadow Guards be on alert, pay attention to evacuating compatriots, protect and rescue the injured..."

The air combat force is responsible for expanding the defense area. The newly formed security department has been arranged by Temari. The most critical protection of the Kazekage has no strength and can hardly help.

…

In the direction of Takino Country, except for Kakuzu and Hidan who were marching step by step towards Takino Ninja Village, nothing unusual was found. However, precisely because no other actions of the "Akatsuki" organization were detected, Daimaru became more confident that the enemy was extremely likely to Maybe after sealing the Five-Tails, the whereabouts of the Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki Yugao could not be found for a long time, so he was ready to attack Gaara.

The seven-tailed Jinchuuriki Fu who should have been caught at this time to satisfy the appetite of the "Akatsuki" organization was arranged to be protected in Konoha Village. Of the tailed beasts and jinchuriki, Gaara had the weakest defense.

"I always feel underestimated. The last time I defeated Obito Uchiha, they didn't seem to be afraid..."

In the huge training base of the air combat force, the students have been temporarily dismissed. Leman led three teams to rescue Taki Ninja Village. The support team is preparing to meet at Sunagakure Village via Kawano Kuni;

In this once bustling place where he started, Daimaru was the only one sitting in the office, tapping his fingers on the table restlessly while muttering under his breath.

When he was anxious, the silent Qian Momo handed him a cup of hot tea, which relieved the dull atmosphere a little.

"Huh? Why are you still here..."

"The order to temporarily strengthen patrols and prepare for evacuation at any time has been passed on, and it is relatively free now..."

"Really!"

Daimaru, who was noncommittal, suddenly remembered something and asked in a normal way,

"The advisory group has released a few Jonin spots. If you are interested, I can recommend you to participate in the promotion mission..."

Compared with the famous Chaofeng and the recognized genius Guangshi, the early subordinates, namely Yemu, were more active, while the unknown Qian never had many opportunities to perform.

But in fact, Daimaru, who gets along more often, can still detect the threat level of the people around him.

After combining scent illusion and physical skills, Chi, who has embarked on a new path, may have a slightly stronger close combat ability than Temari.

Its ninjutsu style is currently unlikely to threaten the ultimate combat power of tailed beasts, large psychic beasts, and jinchūriki, but it will be lethal to ordinary ninjas who have never seen "phantom jutsu".
