Red sand dust

After just two uses of the shadow clone technique, most of the chakra was consumed, making Daimaru have to be vigilant.

Although Ninjutsu is good, the risks cannot be underestimated. No wonder the technique of multiple shadow clones is classified as a level A forbidden technique. Splitting too many shadow clones will affect the combat effectiveness of the main body. Once the shadow clones are released, the instant mental shock can make people faint and completely lose their ability to fight.

"That's it for today's ninjutsu training. You are recovering from a serious injury, so it's not suitable to overexert your energy and chakra. 』

There are still nearly twenty days of preparation time. If the scene in his memory reappears, Uchiha Sasuke is likely to be late, and the fourth round of Temari and Daimaru's competition is likely to be unexpectedly advanced.

How far will it go to fight Temari?

First of all, there must be enough chakra left to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness in the subsequent stormy "Konoha Collapse Plan".

Secondly, the loss should not be too embarrassing, it should not make people doubt the seriousness of the competition, and it should not leave a bad impression on Temari.

Finally, we must control the rhythm as much as possible, and we must wait until Uchiha Sasuke arrives.

In short, you have to fake the fight, but not too fake, and make it look good so that others have nothing to say.

From this point of view, the nature of the performance is even more important than the nature of the battle.

Not only does one need to be careful, but Temari also needs to cooperate tacitly.

Then the tactics need to be carefully considered.

Of course, there is a more important thing, which is to strengthen the combat ability as soon as possible by any means necessary to gain more chances of survival for yourself and the people you care about.

Sand manipulation ninjutsu is limited by physical talent and inheritance, so it will not improve much in a short period of time; wind escape and shadow clone techniques will be the focus of the next training; in addition, the puppet technique, which has already been glimpsed, cannot give up.

Puppetry is a very practical secret technique, otherwise the second generation Kazekage Samana would not have developed the puppetry and become one of the pillars of Sunagakure Village.

However, due to the strong sense of survival crisis and the cultivation method of quick success and quick gain, the true development speed of puppetry is very slow. I only continue to study on the road of stylist, and there is no essential improvement. It looks good, but it is a pity that it has to be listed as a forbidden technique due to practical reasons.

It is not advisable to cut someone else's body, but it is even more stupid for a puppet master to cut oneself. No matter how bad the human body is, its potential for development cannot be compared to that of a cold human puppet.

Even though the Red Sand Scorpion has many quirks that are unacceptable, there is one thing that Daimaru agrees with:

Puppetry is an art!

It is a very vulgar idea to regard a puppet as just a weapon.

After waving his hand, the stand-in doll came over, bowed slightly, and showed his expressionless face in front of Daimaru's eyes.

“This is my first try, and I don’t know if I can succeed!”

The palm of his hand brushed over the face of the stand-in puppet, and an eyeball made with astonishing precision appeared in the palm of his hand. The left eye socket of the stand-in puppet suddenly became empty.

Making such a realistic puppet, even abandoning many mechanisms commonly used by traditional puppet masters, greatly reducing the combat effectiveness, is not a decision made lightly.

Whether it is a stand-in puppet or a puppet Temari, the material selection of important organs is extremely exquisite. Therefore, even though most of the materials in the body are very ordinary, the cost of making a puppet for Daimaru is definitely not small.

For example, the materials for the eyes were all peeled off from giant insects and reptiles hunted in the desert. After countless experiments, the best production method was found and the eyes and chakras of the two puppets were made. The conductive performance is excellent and can even basically simulate the complete structure of an eyeball.

A ball of chakra surged out from the palm of his hand, wrapping the puppet's left eyeball and placing it in front of the main body's left eye. While using chakra to infiltrate the structure of the puppet's eyeball, it connected it to the eye nerve.

"success!"

The puppet's eyes were obviously a little more lively, and Daimaru put them into the left eye socket of the substitute puppet again.

Immediately, Daimaru connected to the puppet's eyes through chakra lines, and a picture from a different perspective flooded into Daimaru's mind.

"The puppetry version of the third eye!" 』

Daimaru looked at the stand-in puppet and puppet Temari, who obviously had different meanings.

"No, this is the Human Puppet Technique, but the material does not use living people or human corpses. 』

How did the red sand scorpion, which made itself into a human puppet with only a mass of flesh that provided chakra left in its body, see the outside scene and gain visual perception?

Aren’t the living facts right before our eyes? Almost a perfect reproduction!

"I know that there are no coincidences in this world, and all techniques are not born without reason. 』

Daimaru temporarily cut off the nerve connection between himself and the puppet's eyes, opened the window of the ward, and took a deep breath of the cool air.

No wonder this secret technique, the third eye, is so awkward. The core lies in connecting the nervous system with external objects to obtain perceptions beyond the body.

Under what circumstances would it be necessary to develop such a secret technique?

As long as a puppet master knows a little about the taboos of human puppets, he can almost guess it.

It is unknown who borrowed from whom, but it should not be unrelated.

It is the tradition of the Sand Ninja Puppet Master to attack one's own body. Chiyo's grandson, the Red Sand Scorpion, did the same. Chiyo himself also transformed one of his hands into a puppet arm to use a powerful defensive type called the Light Shield. Ninjutsu.

Captain Nekaze, who is not a puppet master, probably doesn't understand the deep-seated problems of this investigative ninjutsu, which is nominally performed using sand as a medium.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. Just treat it coldly and pretend that nothing is found. However, you still need to use it..."

Anyway, Daimaru didn't make human puppets, and he had no intention of doing anything to his own body. He just made a few "useless" puppet parts out of beast materials, which essentially did not violate the taboo.

If someone discovers a problem, just excuse yourself that you don’t know anything.

The top priority now is to escape and survive from the chaotic battle between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village. Not to mention the secret technique that is just suspected to be problematic, even if it is a real forbidden technique, Daimaru will not hesitate to use it when it is time to use it. , the issue of possible punishment will be discussed in the next step.

While Daimaru was thinking about something, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Daimaru. I heard you were injured, so I took the time to come and check on you!"

A familiar voice came, Daimaru opened the door, and there stood Amomi with a smile on his face.

"Senior Amomi, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

When a person is living in a foreign country, it would be great to have a few familiar compatriots to chat with.
