Red sand dust

In the central high tower area of ​​Demon Desert, in the lobby on the first floor, all the candidates who were in poor condition were gathered here, waiting for the examiner to finally announce the results.

As expected by Daimaru, a total of seven groups of candidates emerged from the second test.

The two groups in Sunagakure Village, the two sisters Saya and Shana and Zi Luo, are strong and naturally occupy three places; Yakusamaru, Wanseki and Asakaze are all newcomers with average qualifications in the air combat unit. With the advantage of home court, we managed to survive to the end without any danger.

The trio of Taki-nin, Kegon and Youlang, as well as the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki Fu passed the level with almost no challenge.

The twelve people who advanced from the Leaf Village, except Kurama Yakumo and Shiho, were all familiar faces from the Chunin Exams two years ago.

The eighth class took full advantage of its excellent investigation ability and avoided almost all challenges from strong players. They followed the direction of the resource points and cleared wild monsters along the way, and lived in the safe zone to qualify.

The tenth class was in a much more embarrassing situation. Ino Shikamaru's advantage could not be used to much extent in the vast sea of ​​​​sand. Relying on Nara Shikamaru's accurate judgment, he was able to pass through narrowly and narrowly.

The strongest Hyuga Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee relied on a bit of luck to get here. If there was an accident on the way, they might be trapped in the illusion barrier. Even now, they are trapped by physical hypnosis Tiantian, who has been in control for a little while, is still a little confused and doesn't know if he can win the third trial ahead of time.

As for the Konoha female ninja team, which looks weak but is actually like a walking natural disaster, what hinders their progress is never competitors, but the poor living environment. At the last moment, Kurama Yakumo, who can't walk anymore, is Being supported by Haruno Sakura and Shiho, she barely managed to avoid falling down.

Gaara, who was belatedly arrived, appeared together with the examiner Ryusa and the Konoha ninja Morino Ihiki.

Long Sha stepped forward, cleared his throat, and then announced loudly with everyone's attention:

Congratulations to everyone, you have successfully passed the second test! In the past two days, I believe everyone has realized that how to deal with complex competitive relationships is not easy. Everyone has his own method, and we do not expect a unified standard, as long as it is suitable and It’s effective, that’s enough!”

Isolation, domineering, alliance, bullying the minority, taking advantage of each other, intrigues and even burning bridges. In just three days, the examiner has seen too much.

No matter what, being able to get here shows that they know where the limits of their abilities are and can give full play to them and solve problems, which is success.

The exam is a selection and an experience. I hope everyone can gain something! Finally, as a senior, I would like to share some of my own insights. You may have high or low strengths, each with its own characteristics, but how to use it, many people are confused. It is impossible to do it with ease! Force is a very convincing method, but it is also a method used as a last resort. Everyone has done a good job in the first half of the sentence. How to understand the second half of the sentence, we must continue to work hard! That’s all, I wish you Wu Good luck!

In the shadowed corner at the back, Daimaru crossed his arms and watched Ryusa retreat, Gaara stepped forward and said something.

Metkai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he looked at the students who were in a very embarrassing situation but managed to pass.

Kurenai Yuhi glanced at the three students in Class 8 who seemed to be fine and felt relieved. Then she looked at Kurama Yakumo, who had a pale face. After finding no major problems, she nodded slightly.

Sarutobi Asuma, who was holding his elbow and stroking his chin with one hand, looked at Ryuuza, then stared at the indifferent Daimaru with the corner of his eye, and said casually:

Don't you sand ninjas advocate martial arts?

Weird?

Daimaru chuckled and said,

Given the conditions of the Kingdom of Wind, a major defeat may shake the foundation, and it may be difficult to recover for more than ten years. Unlike the Kingdom of Fire, a group of geniuses will appear on the stage of the ninja world in three to five years...

That's strange. You Suna ninjas must be able to bear the word 'warlike'!

During the casual chat, the bearded man didn't mean anything malicious, he was just talking casually.

If there was still a choice, Suna Ninja would not start a war!

Are you forced by reality?

Sarutobi Asuma, who has served as a messenger to the Land of Wind several times, also roughly understands the problem of Sunagakure Village.

Unlike the Kumogakure Village, which is strong, bent on expansion, and wants to compete with Konoha Village for the position of Ninja World Overlord, the Sand Ninjas have no such idea. They risk the risk of failure and reshuffle the internal forces, setting off a chance of victory. The main reason for the small ninja war is that there is no choice.

It's good that Asuma-senpai understands!

Daimaru had a warm smile on his face,

The situation of our sand ninjas is too bad. If other villages are defeated, they may be dormant for a few years before they can recover. The Kingdom of Wind does not have such conditions. There is actually a step away from civilization and barbarism. When living in a civilized order, When you can't go down, you can only resort to brutal force...

After a pause, Daimaru continued with a slightly regretful tone,

If there is no change, the Kingdom of Wind will continue to sink in the cycle of war, defeat, purges, reconstruction, expansion of armaments, and war again...

The hidden dangers in the light words are palpable.

The Kingdom of Wind is vast, but its resources are very poor. If the peace lasts for more than ten years at most, it will not be able to support any new population.

Even if we don't start a war, we will eventually be dragged down by famine. We might as well give it a try. It's a pity to fail, but it can also play a role in diminishing. But if the expansion succeeds, it will be a big profit.

When people themselves are also considered as resources to maintain the existence of a country, the so-called war is a very cost-effective gamble. If you lose this time, if you try again more than ten years later, you can always win!

Which is more tragic, starving to death or being killed, for the former Suna ninja, it was not a question that required careful consideration before making a choice...

Sunagakure Village is not like those small shinobi villages that have the same problem and just swallow their anger and go with the flow. Instead, they have very strong force and cannot be ignored.

Yuhi Kurenai, who was listening attentively, turned around and gave Daimaru a strange look:

As young as you, it's really rare for you to consider these issues!

Daimaru grinned:

The younger Kazekage Godaime-sama of our village is up there giving instructions to the brothers and sisters! Children from poor families have long been in charge!

If you say so, it’s true!

Unlike other village leaders, who are either old or young, the people in Sunagakure Village who can make the decisions are teenagers.

Our young people in Konoha Village are not bad either! Being here, it's like seeing a new era!

The bearded man nodded in agreement,

I hope there will be no needless wars in the future!
