Red sand dust

Not far away, the camellias blooming beside the gurgling water attracted Yuukimaru's attention. Accompanied by Guren, he was enjoying a rare and peaceful time.

Koyamabuki, with black wings on his back, silver hair and red eyes, is holding a small black fork, tapping his toes on the water, and poking it down suddenly from time to time, catching a fish swimming in the water. On the shore is a blond-haired and red-dressed hibiscus who was not long born. Then she clapped her hands and cheered for her sister on the shore.

I picked a piece of dark green tea leaf and chewed it gently in my mouth, enjoying the slightly bitter fragrance and refreshing myself. I sat on the stone bench prepared for the tea picking girls at the corner of the embankment to bask in the sun.

When I was thinking about taking a nap, I suddenly felt a figure appear behind me.

The surprised Daimaru was about to be alert, but felt relieved again when he felt the familiar chakra.

"Jiraiya-senpai, long time no see!"

"I've been waiting for you for almost a week. You are so young and have such a poor sense of time..."

If you pretend to be dissatisfied, you are not really angry, and it doesn't matter if you delay it for a few days.

"I'm sorry, the responsibility of representing Feng Ying will keep me from leaving for a while..."

"This reason is quite reasonable!"

Jiraiya, who snorted twice, sat down next to Daimaru.

"It's not surprising that you became the Kazekage. I heard that your village suffered a lot of losses. Those rebel ninjas are really too arrogant..."

"We are well prepared, the casualties are not too big, but the reconstruction has cost a lot of money!"

Daimaru chuckled,

"However, money is something that you can earn again after you spend it. As long as people are still there, there is hope! Anyway, I have returned the Kazekage's position to the Godaime, leaving him to worry about it!"

"This is how it should be..."

Jiraiya laughed empathetically,

"Being a 'shadow' is too much trouble. How can I waste my good time on being a rubber stamp every day?"

Daimaru, who laughed a few times in agreement, looked around:

"Where's Naruto, not around?"

"That bastard, when he was practicing, he wanted to show off his talents and provoke a hornet's nest. Now he is probably pulling out poisonous needles..."

Speaking of his closed disciples, Jiraiya couldn't help but have a headache.

"When it comes to talent, Naruto has nothing to say, but his brain can't keep up with his body's growth..."

"It only takes a moment for a boy to grow up..."

Daimaru shrugged.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, you will naturally understand..."

"This is a really good sentence..."

Jiraiya, who had never been dissatisfied with his elders, patted Daimaru on the shoulder.

"Even I still have an ageless young heart..."

If the so-called youthful heart is based on peeping into women's bathhouses, Daimaru has to admit that Jiraiya is indeed old-hearted.

After the two exchanged a few words, Jiraiya said seriously:

"Fortunately, I can feel relieved now that you are here! You must have guessed that the matter I am asking you to help with is related to Naruto... and Kyuubi..."

Next, Jiraiya roughly explained the seals of Uzumaki Naruto, Kyuubi and Namikaze Minato that Daimaru had already known.

Daimaru, who listened patiently, couldn't help but nodded, and finally agreed:

"So, you think Naruto has reached the point where he can master the Nine-Tails chakra?"

"I believe it can!"

In fact, there was no way to delay it. The "Akatsuki" organization gathered a large number of S-class rebel ninjas to attack Sunagakure Village and forcefully took away the one-tailed Shukaku, so Jiraiya had to be cautious.

Being surrounded by so many masters, Jiraiya, who was alone and alone, was not afraid, but it was hard to say whether he could protect Naruto Uzumaki completely.

Regardless of whether Naruto Uzumaki is willing or not, at this time, he must give it a try.

Next, the two discussed the details and decided to find a suitable place to officially unlock the Bagua seal tomorrow.

After finalizing, Jiraiya looked around. Yamabuki and Kinagi were obviously psychic puppets controlled by Daimaru, but it was a bit strange that Guren and Youkimaru were brought here.

"Can they be trusted?"

"That's the prisoner I defeated and conquered. The kid's name is Yukimaru. His strength is almost negligible. He's not even a ninja. However, he has the ability to suppress and control tailed beasts naturally, but he's still young and doesn't use it well. Then This woman is Yuukimaru's guardian. She possesses a very practical blood inheritance limit. It is effective against tailed beasts. She can protect Yuukimaru in critical moments..."

"In the huge ninja world, there are really many weird secret techniques and bloody inheritance limits..."

Since Daimaru was willing to endorse two strangers, Jiraiya would naturally not refuse the kindness that came to his door.

Inviting Daimaru to raid the formation was just a precaution, and it was a good thing that Daimaru who was assisting was so interested.

Ten minutes later, Uzumaki Naruto finally arrived with embarrassing scars on his body and a face as swollen as a bun.

"It's you?"

Uzumaki Naruto, who had been traveling around the country for the past two years and rarely met acquaintances, saw Daimaru and immediately started yelling,

"What are you doing here?"

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss you so much..."

Seeing Daimaru's smile on his face, Uzumaki Naruto was a little suspicious:

"The relationship between us is so close?"

"What you said is so chilling. After we said goodbye to Naruto Village, I thought we were already good friends..."

"Is that so?"

Glancing at Jiraiya who was sighing secretly, Uzumaki Naruto said doubtfully,

"It's not impossible to be friends with you reluctantly, but I'm afraid you have ulterior motives..."

Well, for people with a single mind, their instinctive intuition is indeed extraordinary. Judging the essence of things does not rely on their brains, but on their instincts.

"Okay, it would be great if you can get along well..."

Interrupting the greetings between the two of them, Jiraiya put his hands on his hands and said with a smile,

"The weather is nice today. Let's find a place to rest. Let's talk about anything tomorrow!"

It is also appropriate to recharge your batteries and prepare for the possible fierce battle tomorrow.

That night, after finding a reasonably quick hotel to stay in a nearby town, Daimaru packed up his ninja tools by the flickering candlelight.

Face to face with the Kyuubi who might seriously injure Jiraiya, one cannot be too careful.

Being able to easily subdue the four-tailed Jinchuuriki and the one-tailed Shukaku does not mean that he is confident in dealing with the Nine-Tails.

"Father, are you worried?"

After Koyamabuki settled Hibiscus, he chatted leisurely with Daimaru.

"Is there a tailed beast that you two can't deal with together?"

"Kyuubi is different..."

Daimaru pressed Koyamabuki's head lovingly and replied with a smile,

"Theoretically, nothing will happen, but while protecting Uzumaki Naruto, it is still very difficult to subdue the out-of-control Nine-Tails..."

If it was a one-on-one fight with a half-tailed beast, it would be easier. Daimaru and Jiraiya could just go shoulder to shoulder and have a hearty fight.

The goal this time is to suppress the Nine-Tails and allow Naruto Uzumaki to control the power within his body.
