Red sand dust

For an S-class rebellious ninja like Kakuzu, even torture is a very serious matter. Normal ninjas would be in danger even if they get close.

Even though the acupuncture points and chakra meridians all over his body were sealed, the Sand Ninjas still carefully locked him in a cell made of a special alloy.

Without a master like Daimaru by his side, he was not allowed to communicate with Kakuzu at will.

Just providing basic food and drinking water to ensure its survival and controlling its energy intake will not endanger Kakuzu's life, but it will also make him decline to the point of dying.

It wasn't until Daimaru approached that Taki Ninja, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed to rest and save money, opened his eyes.

"You finally took the time to see me?"

Kakuzu, who didn't feel his life was in danger at all and was very calm, spoke to Daimaru calmly.

"Two years ago, you chased me like a lost dog and ran away in a hurry, but now you are caught by me with your own hands. How do you feel?"

After moving a steel footstool, Daimaru sat across from Kakuzu and asked proudly.

"If you hadn't consumed too much power before, you wouldn't have had a chance! A successful sneak attack is not worth mentioning..."

"Senior is already a lot older, and it's beneath his status to say such ridiculous things..."

Although it is true that Kakuzu and Hidan were besieged by the Suna Ninja, Daimaru also fought with Itachi Uchiha and subdued Ichibi before catching Kakuzu.

Both of them are at their peak, and Kakuzu won't be able to hold on for long even if they try to attack with all their strength.

As Daimaru becomes more and more proficient in the application of Sage Mode, his practice in other fields also gradually improves, and his strength begins to gradually reach its peak. There are only a few people in the ninja world who can compete with Daimaru.

Kakuzu's specialty lies in his comprehensive ninjutsu and his hard-to-break immortality. He is relatively durable and has an advantage when facing the siege of the ninja army. However, it is still not enough in front of a master like Daimaru who has truly mastered the true meaning of the power of ninjutsu. of.

Immortal?

In this world where anything can happen, there are no absolutes. Not to mention mere ninjas and secret arts, even real gods can kill you!

In the final analysis, in the past two years, the upper limit of the power of the ninja world has been raised too fast. In the turbulent era, old-school strong men who cannot keep up with the rhythm will only become a stepping stone for the younger generations.

Kakuto, who was speechless by Daimaru's words, looked at Daimaru quietly for a moment and then changed the topic:

"Looking at your clothes, your Godaime is probably dead!"

"I am just acting as Kazekage. Although the tailed beast was taken away, the Fifth Daime survived and will be able to come back after a while..."

"This is impossible!"

The facts Daimaru described were obviously contrary to past common sense, and Kakuzu couldn't help but raise his pitch.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, you will die soon. What's the use of caring about this?"

Kakuzu shook his head and replied with certainty:

"There are thousands of secret techniques in the ninja world that can save the lives of jinchūriki who have been separated from the tailed beasts. I believe there are, but it will never be so smooth, unless you have been prepared..."

There is no precedent for Gaara to be able to recover from a situation like this. The fundamental reason is that the tailed beast lost control too suddenly. Under normal circumstances, how long it can survive depends on its vitality. It can take a few minutes. It doesn't take more than a quarter of an hour. In such a short time, there is no time to rescue, and most of the magical forbidden techniques will not be of use.

Then again, the jinchuriki has been regarded as a tool and war weapon since the day it was born. Even if it is "used out", it can just be replaced with another container. Which village will spend a huge price and deliberately prepare to save the dying jinchuriki? ?

The ninja world doesn't specialize in how to resuscitate the lives of Jinchūriki who have lost their tailed beasts. People like Suna ninja who don't have much spare energy are wasting it in less important areas. For no special reason, they won't have the chance to save Gaara. Survived.

"Unless you have anticipated this day for a long time, and have even prepared to abandon Yiwei in order to take advantage of this opportunity to escape. As for the reason..."

Kakuzu thought about it for a moment and figured it out.

"The special nature of the Fifth Kazekage means that you Suna ninjas are unable to hide it, and you think you cannot withstand our full attack, so you take this opportunity to let the Ichibi Shukaku be captured and let the Akatsuki organization Attention shifts to Konoha Village and Cloud Hidden Village..."

"To be too old to die is to be a thief. Senior, you are over ninety, aren't you? It's not good for you to talk so much and know too much, isn't it?"

Daimaru squinted his eyes and looked unkindly at Taki Ninja, who seemed to be trying to figure it out.

There is a fact that no one else knows is that Daimaru has long since exchanged the sealing technique and contract seal from Orochimaru. Although he is not very proficient, he can still use it reluctantly.

If he hadn't chased Uchiha Obito and didn't cause trouble for Kakuzu, there would have been a slight chance of cutting off the psychic contract between Ichibi Shukaku and Uchiha Obito.

Daimaru even had the opportunity to directly kill the One-Tailed Shukaku, allowing Uchiha Obito to return without success, and thereby delaying the progress of the Ten-Tails' resurrection.

But in the end, Daimaru did nothing to hinder him.

The most important reason is that the fact that the Ten-Tails was resurrected and sealed by Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto was beneficial to the Suna Ninja.

A decisive battle will take place within two to three years, just at the point where "Destiny's Child" and his compatriots can win without much advantage.

After procrastinating for too long, the reincarnations of Indra and Asura reached their peak and gained all the power given by fate, and nothing happened to the Sand Ninja.

The stability period of Konoha Village is too long, and the speed of recovery of strength will become faster and faster, and eventually it will become the unequivocal overlord again.

When that time comes, the ally of Sand Hidden Village will really be dispensable.

Only now is the time for the Sand Ninja to maneuver, accumulate strength, and gain the greatest benefits.

Of course, the various pros and cons are also Daimaru's choices after weighing them. How can we find a better position for Suna Ninja in the future? We must continue to work hard.

"Sure enough, you sand ninjas have never changed. In order to pass the blame to your allies, you are willing to abandon the tailed beast!"

"I have never admitted your accusation. As for more, it is not something you, a prisoner, should know..."

Daimaru shrugged indifferently. No one knew it anyway, and ordinary people didn't need to understand the deep-seated logic behind the rulers' actions. Some truths were too cruel to mortals who couldn't control their own destiny.

"Originally, there should be no need for more interrogations. The mystical magic can empty out the information in your mind, and your body will become the material for various experiments. However, I still want to know why you joined the 'Akatsuki' organization. Even so loyal..."
