Red sand dust

The Kingdom of Sichuan is adjacent to the Kingdom of Rain and is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind.

The area is not small, but the entire country is covered by dense virgin forests, with dense water networks, rolling hills, and complex terrain. It is a place that is not suitable for human habitation.

Because of its vast territory, sparse population, and easy concealment, it has naturally become a good place for various forces to set up secret strongholds.

With a small country at their doorstep, Sunagakure Village will naturally not let down its guard.

Daimaru Dai led two teammates on a rare mission.

There is no specific goal in this operation. It is just a routine cleanup of ghosts and monsters in the buffer zone, and a way to see if there are any new forces making trouble.

If you can beat it, clean it up naturally. If you can't beat it, just try your best to explore and report it.

Because you are very likely to encounter wandering ninjas, down-and-out samurai, bounty hunters, and even powerful rebel ninjas, the mission level is B.

If it weren't for Daimaru's sake, it would be impossible for two genin to participate in such a dangerous mission.

In addition, one of the factors to consider is that the night-eye detection ability is easier to use in the environment of Kawanoguni.

Standing on the top of a small hill with a high altitude, the group looked at the scenery as far as the eye could see.

On the side of the Kingdom of Wind, a piece of yellow sand spread to the end of the sight.

The Sichuan Country side is lush and full of life.

Farther to the south is the vast blue sea, with some frightened fish and sea beasts emerging from the water from time to time.

"This world is really unfair to the Kingdom of Wind!"

Yemu couldn't help but murmur to himself.

In a country filled with wind and sand, survival is so difficult.

Even the nooks and crannies of Kawa no Kuni are more vibrant than Sunagakure Village.

"A tragedy caused by nature!"

Daimaru sighed softly.

The sea breeze from west to east sweeps across the country of wind, bringing the water vapor, the source of life, here. It meets the warm wind blowing from the southeast, and a rainfall belt of hundreds of kilometers is formed.

The Kingdom of Sichuan is pretty good, but the Kingdom of Rain to the north is truly dark, with almost no sunny days.

A large amount of rainwater, part of it flows to the Land of Fire, and part of it flows along the rivers into the Land of Sichuan, and gathers into the sea to the south.

Just as a few people were staring blankly at the strange scene with such obvious contrast, a giant eagle hovered in the southeast direction. It seemed to be aware of the Suna Ninja and his group who were looking down into the distance, and let out a shrill cry.

"It looks like a domesticated scout eagle!"

Qian frowned and looked at the big bird that was behaving strangely.

"Don't be too surprised. There are a lot of people watching overtly and covertly in this kind of place!"

Daimaru said matter-of-factly,

"Many parties gather together, good and bad are mixed, and those who appear in such a big way are small characters."

Despite the sparsely populated area, there have been quite a few bloody conflicts.

Most of the battles between Sand Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village were concentrated in this area.

The Sunagakure Village and the Kirigakure Village located in the southwest corner are located in the southwest corner. There is a huge monster in the middle - the Fire Country. How did the two come to fight?

The Mist Ninjas bypassed the long coastline of the Land of Fire, and the Kingdom of Katakawa and the Sand Ninjas fought. Sand ninjas also occasionally set out from here to travel across the ocean to attack the Kingdom of Water.

So in theory, no matter how far apart they are, the five major ninja villages can still start a fight at any time.

The Iwa Ninja and Mist Ninja who are farthest away fight each other from time to time, so naturally they cannot be borrowed from the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder.

After a while, Yemu used her super long-distance detection ability to get the opponent's information clearly.

"A group of wandering ninjas are probably trying to avoid being chased by their enemies, so they are very alert!"

"how many people?"

"I discovered about twenty people!"

"Are they all ninjas?"

"It seems so, but there are many old, weak, women and children among them!"

The old, weak, women and children are also ninjas, and most of these wandering ninjas are not living a very good life. Not only are there competitions from fellow wandering ninjas, but they also encounter rejection from the great ninja village from time to time.

The best outcome for them is to join a big force and sell their force to gain living space.

The "Akatsuki" organization in the Land of Rain was actually founded by a group of wandering ninjas who wanted to stay together for warmth. It later developed into a "rebellious ninja" group, but unfortunately it was spotted by a more powerful mastermind behind the scenes.

"What should I do? Kill them?"

Yami and Chi looked at Daimaru, waiting for the captain's decision.

"Wait a minute, it's never too late for these people to clean up, we still have time!"

It's not that Daimaru is soft-hearted, most wandering ninjas will do anything in order to survive. Acting as a thug to look after homes and nursing homes is a relatively peaceful way to make a living. It is also common for them to be bounty hunters, bully the market, and even pretend to be robbers to rob.

Because of this, wandering ninjas often make enemies everywhere, and run away once they encounter hard problems, which can be regarded as living up to the reputation of "wandering" ninjas.

"First check to see if there is anyone else ambushing nearby!"

These unregulated buffer zones are troublesome, and there is not even a single person with the final say.

In this messy territory, there might be a powerful rebel ninja hidden in a cave deep in the mountains and dense forests, or it might be the contact point of the five major ninja villages.

The Kingdom of Sichuan is so close to the Kingdom of Rain. There is no reason for the "Akatsuki" organization to sit idly by and ignore it. It is very likely that there is a hidden stronghold there.

More than two years later, the place where Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion kidnapped Gaara and separated Ichibi Shukaku was most likely in a cave nearby.

Where the Red Sand Scorpion and Chiyo died, Daimaru didn't dare to be careless. If he met any S-class rebellious nin who happened to be passing by, his life would be in danger.

"This place is too conspicuous, let's get out of here first!"

Daimaru ordered his two teammates to follow him and leave.

The country of Sichuan is vast, and if you want to have a rough look at the reality, it will not be possible in a short time.

…

After carefully exploring the primeval forest for most of the day, Daimaru found a dry corner and opened a cave to rest.

After lighting a fire and replenishing food and water, Chiwa Yeme, who was tired from running around, fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to the sound of frogs and insects nearby, Daiwan grabbed a flying insect and wrapped it in the purple-black cell tissue in his palm. After a while, it was swallowed up completely.

"Erosion at the cellular level is not limited to humans, but also to aliens, even bugs! 』

After a period of testing, Daimaru slightly understood the limits of Ukon's blood inheritance - the limit of the parasitic ghost evil jutsu.

This is an innate ability that is rooted in the body and limited by the strength of its own cells.

Parasitism, erosion, and plunder are somewhat similar to Daimaru's spiritual talents.

One works on the body, the other works on the mental power.

The art of parasitic ghost evil is obviously more direct and effective, but it also has more restrictions.

When the curse seal is not used, Ukon's ability to lurk in Sakon's body is already at its limit; after using the curse seal, its terrifying power gradually becomes apparent, including rapid recovery, parasitic assassination of others, etc.

Destroying the enemy's body tissue from the inside and plundering nutrients to replenish itself fully embodies the terrifying nature of this "parasitism" within the boundaries of blood inheritance.

But this is already the limit that the curse seal can improve.

This kind of blood inheritance limit is very strong, as evidenced by Yakushi Kabuto's ability to cast the Mysterious Distant Shadow based on it.

But why didn't Orochimaru become interested in Ukon's body?

Because in order to take the art of parasitic ghost evil to the next level, the power of the curse seal is obviously not enough, and a true immortal mode may be needed to promote it.

Ukon obviously has no aptitude for senjutsu, otherwise he wouldn't be used as cannon fodder by Orochimaru.

It's normal for Orochimaru to look down on this kind of blood inheritance limit.

It can only parasitize and destroy, and does not have the ability to further parasitize and plunder blood inheritance limits and talents as expected. Not to mention Orochimaru, even the current Daimaru looks down upon it.

If it weren't for the pharmacist who "learned from the past" and used the Snake Immortal Technique to create legendary distant shadows, Daimaru would not be interested in this bloody inheritance limit at all.

However, the strong have their advantages, and the weak have their weak ways to play. The ready-made blood inheritance limit is not without merit.

Keeping a Ukon can provide a little chakra for Daimaru to use during battle, and he can also make sneak attacks at critical moments.

Of course, Daimaru's first consideration now is how to let Ukon appear around him openly and openly without causing any criticism...
