Chapter 176 Exposed
After hurriedly tidying up the room, Daimaru hurriedly went to Temari to talk about today's events.
Unfortunately, not only Temari, but Gaara and Kankuro were not in the room, and even Chiwa Yami was nowhere to be seen.
When he thought that this time coincided with the usual dinner time, Daimaru's heart moved, and he quickly went to search for the small shops he frequented, and sure enough, he found his compatriots having dinner in one of them.
"Hey, you guys, you don't have a sense of community, do you? You don't even invite your beloved captain to eat together, are you too neglectful of me who is dedicated and dedicated without complaint?"
Daimaru had an expression on his face as if nothing had happened, and he smiled and greeted.
Kankuro looked at Daimaru strangely and asked doubtfully:
"Didn't you go catch up with your acquaintances in Konoha Village? Why are you back at this time? You still look like you haven't eaten..."
"Who... told you this? I am with you every day, how can I have time to meet any old acquaintances of Konoha Village? You must be mistaken..."
Nighteye wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth and said without seeming to notice:
"That's strange. When it was time for dinner, you were nowhere to be seen. We were still worried that something had happened to you.
Fortunately, Temari seemed to know the inside story, saying that you had an appointment with someone else and couldn't organize a dinner party, so she paid for us to have a feast here.
Then again, today’s lamb shank is really good, much tastier than the ones usually on sale! "
"Temari said that?"
Daimaru looked at Temari, who had a calm expression on her face and was slowly and neatly cutting the pieces of meat with a knife. Her liver trembled with fright, and she couldn't care less about Yome complaining about how she always gave them cheap food in the past.
"Did you misunderstand something? I'm really not familiar with those people..."
"The captain is really good at joking. People you don't know will take the initiative to visit you and ask for you by name again and again? You are still a young girl in her prime! If nothing happens, who would come to you, a powerless Sunagakure Village chuunin... …”
"Girl?"
When Ye Mu heard this, it seemed that there was something else going on. The spirit of gossip immediately began to burn, and he stared at Daimaru with burning eyes, waiting for an explanation.
Daimaru waved his hand to signal Yami not to join in the fun, and then said sincerely:
"This is the second time that she and I have met, and we only exchanged a few words..."
"Are you sure it's only a few words?"
Temari smiled and pointed at Daimaru with a fork stained with meat residue.
"For most of the day... I don't know where you were fooling around. Although it is the captain's private matter, and we, as subordinates, can't take care of it, but you don't want to cause any scandal in Konoha Village..."
"Absolutely not..."
Daimaru defended hurriedly.
The inexplicable rumors about Miss Saya are already very troublesome. If she has anything to do with Kurama Yakumo, her lifelong reputation will really be ruined.
"She and I really just said a few words in the room..."
"in the room?"
Qian looked at Dawan, who was sweating profusely, suspiciously.
"We searched your place several times to make sure no one was there, so we left you..."
"What, is there such a thing?"
Daimaru was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing.
"It must be something good that Kurama Yakumo did..."
"Kurama Yakumo?"
This was the first time for Yami and Sen to hear this name, and neither Kankuro nor Gaara knew anything about it.
"It's the Konoha girl who came to visit her and brought her family to visit. Ordinary acquaintances wouldn't do such intimate things..."
Temari explained to the others calmly.
"Temari, it's really not what you imagined..."
The thoughts in Daimaru's mind were racing,
"That girl is actually a painter. She just came to say hello today and painted a painting for me..."
As he spoke, Daimaru took out the portrait from his arms and displayed it in front of everyone.
Temari came over, looked at Daimaru's appearance in the painting, and curled her lips:
"A small place like Sunagakure Village really doesn't have such versatile women. You were really born in the wrong place..."
Yemu took the painting unceremoniously and sighed:
"Although I don't know how good it is, it just feels great..."
After some inexplicable emotion, he handed it to Qian, followed by Kankuro and Gaara.
Unfortunately, Suna Ninja does not have much artistic talent. Even if he is a child of the Kazekage family, his aesthetic sense is just that.
Finally, Temari took the canvas in her hands and examined it carefully for a long time...
"Where is the background in the painting?"
"this……"
Daimaru replied dryly,
"It's probably an artistic creation, something I just imagined in my mind..."
Hearing what Temari said, the others also reacted and looked at the room in the painting that was strangely bathed in the setting sun, and then looked at Daimaru's nervous look as if his adultery had been revealed.
Temari sighed and returned the canvas to Daimaru:
"Just pretend that you just chatted for a few words in the room. Anyway, we can't figure out how many truths you have! Just take care of yourself..."
"this……"
"You clearly want to explain it, but why do you feel worse and worse?" 』
"At this point, I have to confess! In fact, the Kurama family is a very powerful illusion family, but it has already declined! You can't find me, and the weird background of this painting is actually the function of illusion... "
"Illusion... can it be done to this extent?"
Qian asked strangely.
Precisely because we are both genjutsu ninjas, we understand how difficult it is to do the seemingly simple things in Daimaru's words.
"Although I feel a little embarrassed to say it, but..."
Daimaru said dejectedly,
"Actually, in my perception, it didn't take long, and most of the day passed! I don't even know how she did it..."
"Captain, I hope your last explanation was not made up? Otherwise, if there really is a 'love story between a Suna ninja boy and a Konoha girl', it will not end well..."
Nighteye, who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, teased narrowly.
Chi and Temari looked at each other and said thoughtfully:
"You can actually use genjutsu to make Daimaru unable to resist. Such strength is not that of an ordinary ninja, right?"
"No! Kurama Yakumo isn't even a ninja, she's just a physical idiot who will fall down from fatigue after walking for a long time..."
Daimaru shook his head,
"It can almost be regarded as a hereditary disease of the Kurama clan. The stronger the illusion, the worse the body becomes, so it becomes more and more declining..."
As Daimaru spoke, he quietly asked Kankuro to squeeze aside and moved a position for Daimaru to sit down.
Temari glanced at Daimaru from the corner of her eye:
"You can sit down, but you have to pay for it yourself!"
"Isn't it bad that I was the only one left out to treat you to dinner?"
"You were not invited in the first place! Don't even think about getting a meal from someone who comes uninvited!"
"All right!"
It’s just the price of a meal, and I’m still a little confident after making a small fortune recently.
Qian smiled and smoothed things over:
"I think Daimaru's words are somewhat credible. With his face-saving personality, he can't make up a story that would make him so embarrassing..."
"If you say that, doesn't it embarrass me even more?"
Daimaru murmured dissatisfiedly while eating barbecue to comfort his hungry stomach.
Temari said nonchalantly:
"Even if what Daimaru said is true, how did such a powerful guy get involved with him?"
