Red sand dust

"They... don't understand!"

Daimaru shook his head regretfully.

Among a group of small people in the neighborhood where chuunin are all considered big shots, it is really difficult to make them understand how powerful Daimaru can be, how much property he can control, and how many ninjas are driven by him.

"They know that I am not short of money and not weak in strength, but...that's all!"

Temari actually agreed with Daimaru's explanation.

"In the final analysis, I'm still not very familiar with it, and the alienation leads to some misunderstandings!"

"yes!"

Temari and Daimaru's families really didn't have much interaction.

Not to mention Qian who often comes to visit, and Miss Saya who is very familiar with them, even some of the female apprentices who were promoted by Daimaru and those who came to thank Daimaru have a greater presence than Temari in front of Daimaru's family.

Reaching out to hold the somewhat disappointed Temari's wrist, Daimaru said gently:

"It's not that they don't like you, they just care about me more!"

Whether it is a rising star with scandals all over the world or the famous "Red Dust" in the ninja world, they are all children in the eyes of their mother and grandfather. Whether they are a rumored girlfriend or a serious girlfriend who is brought home, they must withstand scrutiny. The eyes, especially Temari's, will bear more due to the unfamiliarity and her identity.

"I kind of understand what you said before!"

Temari said with enlightenment,

"Young people know that Mu Shaoai is a competition between two people, and getting married and having children is a compromise between two families. There is no blood relationship, but they form a family that is stronger than relatives. The issues that need to be considered and the obstacles that need to be overcome are more important than traditional ones. The extent of the rumored scandal is much bigger!"

"This is the second best life choice after reincarnation. Who can predict the future?"

Daimaru smiled and handed over the small bag he was holding.

Temari came to the door with some precious ingredients, and her mother returned a belt sewn by herself.

After taking it out of the bag and touching it, Temari asked in surprise:

“This style is really rare!”

"The skills passed down from my grandmother, even the witches who serve the gods are full of praise for the works. It is not particularly precious, but it is very labor-intensive!"

"It's beautiful! Say thank you for me!"

"As long as you like it!"

Daimaru said with a smile,

"In order to prepare this thing, it took nearly half a year to prepare the materials, and it was not completed until recently! It took more than two years, intermittently, and even I, a spectator, felt tired."

After hearing Daimaru's words, Temari was stunned:

"More than two years ago, your mother was planning to give me a gift?"

"It doesn't count!"

After recalling some past events, Daimaru laughed and said,

"After narrowly surviving the Chuunin exams two years ago, my family asked about the process and found out that I had broken your belt during the competition. My mother felt it was particularly rude, so she thought about compensating for one, probably because she wanted you to be like this. Young lady, please don’t remember my mistakes..."

"Then why did it take so long? Actually, there is no need for such a special gift!"

"It was revised several times, and every time there was a special scandal, it was overhauled, until the story about a secret unmarried child was spread everywhere, and it became what it is now!"

Depending on the status of the preparation, the level of the gift prepared is also different.

"So, it's not that mother and grandfather have any objections to you. In fact, they have recognized your existence for a long time. It's just that, even if they have been looking forward to me getting married and having children as soon as possible, it may not be possible for a strange girl to be brought into the house. I don’t have any special ideas…”

Daimaru is an only child. In the past, he was an incompetent grandson and a naughty son who always got into trouble. In the future, he may not belong to them alone.

"If you say that..."

Temari's brain was also very good, and she quickly understood what Daimaru meant, and couldn't help but smile,

"Am I being seen as a bad woman who stole their sons and grandchildren?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but it's more or less what it means!"

Daimaru is one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who is proficient in mystical arts. He can understand some emotions that he himself is not aware of.

"Then...I understand what to do!"

Temari solemnly put away the belt in her hand.

"They have to understand that it's not that I took away their grandson or son, but that they are going to have another granddaughter or daughter!"

Some things are, to put it bluntly, not worth mentioning. The biggest problem in getting along with others lies in the unpredictable human heart.

In the past, because there was no intersection, even if they met by chance on the street, Temari and Daimaru's family members had no basis for small talk, and they were still essentially strangers, but now it's different.

…

Gaara, whose injuries improved a lot, left Sunagakure Village Hospital and went home to recuperate.

With more time, apart from the scheduled practice, I also have more time to think about some personal matters. I can calm down and deal with problems that I didn't have time to deal with before.

When Daimaru didn't need an escort, Kankuro was leisurely passing the time at home.

It's just that today is a bit special. When the three of them are free, it is a rare time for family dinner. Temari didn't have time to cook today, so the two brothers could only heat up last night's meal and eat some.

"Can Temari deal well with Daimaru's family?"

After turning over the newspaper in his hand twice, Kankuro put it down absentmindedly and sighed,

"It seems like a long time ago, I haven't seen her getting along harmoniously with other people..."

Temari, who had almost no friends except Qian as her best friend, only talked a little more at home.

The three siblings with special status actually lack the ability of ordinary people to deal with things smoothly. Fortunately, they are not stupid and have a keen sense of other people's emotions.

Just knowing is one thing, being able to get along well with others is another.

Gaara put down a novel based on a certain sand ninja that had not been published for a long time, raised his head, pressed his tired eye sockets and replied:

"It should be fine...probably..."

After a pause, Gaara remembered something and changed the topic,

"There is no need to worry about Temari, but you are going to the Land of Fire to help capture the Vulpix Jinchuriki Yugao. Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the final confirmed order to set off!"

It's enough to make a mistake once. This time, you must restore your reputation and build a reputation as the puppet master of Sunagakure Village.

"Don't be brave, just do your best. Even if there is disharmony, try your best to save your life. As long as you live, you will have a future!"

"I know!"

Even though he didn't know in detail, Kankuro still understood that the goal of the Akatsuki organization was to collect tailed beasts.

The Sand Ninja had actually escaped and helped capture Vulpix. He was just fulfilling his responsibilities as an ally and did not need to pull chestnuts out of the fire for others.
