After the New Year, Daimaru will be almost seventeen years old, and in a little more than a year, he will reach the legal age of marriage, and he is not qualified to be called a teenager.

Even now, with Daimaru's physique, some people believe it when he says he is twenty years old.

"In two years, we will all reach the age of talking about marriage, how fast!"

After breakfast, Omaru, who was leaning back on the chair and pretending to sleep, came out of his mouth with this inexplicable sentence, which stunned Yame and Chi, who were whispering something on the side.

"Is he talking in his sleep?"

Chi stretched out her palm and shook it in front of Daimaru.

"Probably not, I haven't heard of him having this kind of problem!"

"Who do you listen to?"

Yame looked at Qian with a strange face,

"Daimaru, who has always lived alone, can anyone know if he has the terrible habit of talking in his dreams and sleepwalking?"

The face of the thousand who said casually froze.

"I'll guess!"

"Shh

Yame knew it was such an expression. Friends who have known each other for so long really have the courage and ability to figure out how Daimaru behaved after falling asleep, and he doesn't need to worry about her.

"Don't shake, I'm awake!"

Yamu was about to say something more, and the outstretched palm was grabbed by Daimaru,

"It's just a little emotional, I'm not ready, and I'm suddenly going to grow up!"

Thinking about the "stories" that may happen in the future of the ninja world, he naturally set his eyes on those young Konoha Shinobi, and unconsciously forgot that he was three or four years older than the "protagonists" favored by fate.

Thinking about Yakushidou, who is only more than three years older than himself, Uchiha Itachi who is not a year older than himself, and Deidara who is the same age as himself, and the black soil that has already revealed the appearance of the earth shadow, is as big as Kankuro, and the little achievements he has achieved are really not worth mentioning.

Always compared with the people around you, it will make people feel comfortable.

Daimaru, who was thinking, opened his eyes and looked at Yameo and Sen, who were a little inexplicable.

"Fortunately, with you, I feel an infinite sense of superiority, otherwise, I really can't work hard!"

"What do you mean?"

Yeme elbowed to the waist of the top thousand,

"I always feel humiliated......"

"Who knows? I have too much to do with Daimaru, and I am still the one who is hit by ......"

Thousand senselessly persuades, and Yame, who wants to compete with Daimaru without admitting defeat, has never won.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

Daimaru got up, stretched, and beckoned to the two teammates,

"The last task of the year, the magnificent year is coming to an end!"

……

The cold wind from the north blew south in bursts, and the gloomy sky was like an immovable curtain, blocking out all the warmth.

"It's so cold!"

The little face was red from the cold and kept rubbing his hands,

"The Northern Fortress is much colder than the village......"

The Land of the Wind is long from east to west, and the span from north to south is not small, and the northern fortress near the border is much higher latitude than Shayin Village, so it is natural that the winter will be colder.

It's normal for young people who spend the winter here for the first time to be a little uncomfortable.

Qian blocked the cold wind with his palms and squinted his eyes to the north.

"Will there really be an attack?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, I can't hide this year!"

Daimaru sighed coldly and nodded in confirmation,

"It's not for nothing that Iwa Shinobi has been unusually silent during this time......"

Near the boundary between the Land of the Wind and the Land of Earth, there are many large and dangerous creatures that migrate to more comfortable places as the seasons change.

Generally, sporadic communities, sand ninjas will put switch cards to help them pass, but in particularly cold years, there will also be large-scale wild animals going south to avoid the cold, and the sand ninja defense line in the middle will be seriously impacted, in an easy-to-understand word, it is "monster siege".

Not only will the sand ninja have a headache, but the Iwa ninja will also be harassed by these berserk beasts.

Ninjas who have mastered force, and the protection of the heavy city walls, naturally will not be afraid, as long as they are serious, the beast is not an opponent at all.

The purpose of the sand ninja is not to destroy these beasts that migrate to escape the cold, but only to prevent the big ones from posing a threat to the defense line.

For example, the hideous giant scorpion with two tails that is approaching in the distance, the lower ninja who is almost a little stronger is not an opponent, and without a high-level ninja in charge, it may not be able to deal with it.

"It's all good materials, and if you use them all, you'll make a fortune!"

It's hard to find this thing usually, and I don't know how many years it took to grow into such a behemoth. Later, when he has money, Daimaru is ready to buy a large area of desert and raise some specifically for his own harvesting materials.

Yame and Chimomo followed behind Daimaru, and they had long been accustomed to his style of being so poor that his eyes were full of money, and he was not as motivated as usual when he even complained.

Three times five divided by two to put the twin-tailed scorpion to the ground, Orochimaru looked at the two companions who stepped forward to help get the materials and said:

"Earlier, you said that you wanted a New Year's gift, but it's not impossible! Whatever you want, I'll make you ......"

"Who's going to make the materials?"

Yeme laboriously unloaded the scorpion's sharp poisonous needle and put it away, and asked with a slight breath.

"Forget me, I'll be cheaper this time!"

"Yo, has the 'Red Sanddust' lord made a fortune? I was actually generous......"

"I'm such a bold person, and you don't know ......"

As long as the start-up capital for the formation of the air team is down, Daimaru will have plenty of money.

"Who believes!"

Anyway, the benefits promised by Daimaru will not let go of Yeme, tilting his head and thinking about it, he said:

"I want a better quality goggles, no fog or sand, and no impact on ninjutsu......"

"It's not easy for you to make every condition, and you really make ...... requests"

The goggles are not ordinary, and the workmanship is quite elegant, and they are not sold on the market, and they are all high-end goods customized by top technicians.

"Now I'm in a good mood and I agreed......"

As he spoke, he looked at Chi who ripped off one of the scorpion's legs,

"What do you want?"

"Me? I don't want anything, the weapon white velvet iron fan is still made by myself, it's very handy, I don't really want to change it. ”

"It's always hard to favor one over the other, and there are ...... in the night"

After thinking about it, Daimaru suggested,

"It doesn't have to be a forbearance, it's okay otherwise!"

"That'...... I want a mask! ”

"Masks? It's weird......"

"If you put on a mask, you can hide your expression. An illusion ninja like me can't hide his emotions on his face, so he might as well cover it up......"

Chi explained softly.

"Yes, that's it. Also, don't disappoint me too much with the gifts you've prepared......"

"Huh? Don't you ask for it? ”

Yame asked a little puzzled.

"As a subordinate, give a gift that surprises the boss, this is basic etiquette, and you still need me to teach it? As for what to send, think for yourself......"
