Red Dust

What's more, Miss Sha Ye has repeatedly assisted Daimaru to solve the problem of mental energy. Although the hidden danger has not been completely eliminated so far, Daimaru owes a lot of favors.

Once or twice is a coincidence. No matter how many times, Daimaru is not stupid. As long as he notices this, he will naturally not turn a blind eye.

"If another female ninja confesses to you that they like you, what are you going to do?"

"At least not now! Who can say what will happen in the future, I will naturally know at that time..."

Daimaru replied nonchalantly.

Why worry about things so far away, maybe a harem will be opened in the future!

Looking at Daimaru's smugness that he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to, Kankuro felt that it was better not to continue on this topic.

"You owe so much money, and the low-level ninja may not be able to pay it back in his entire life. What are you going to do in the future?"

Don't talk about the idea of ​​opening a hot spring hotel in the village, it is good to be able to afford a house and start a family.

If you want to continue on the ninja road, the expenses must be not small, and the scale of debt may expand.

"Relying on me to make money alone, it is estimated that it is difficult to afford it..."

As Daimaru was promoted to Chunin and his income increased, his financial situation, which was about to go bankrupt, barely kept the balance of payments and made a slight surplus, but this state was very fragile. You will be out of pocket in an instant.

"You don't want Temari to help you repay the debt, do you? Don't even think about it, she can't agree..."

"What do you think, am I such a snobby person? The stubborn 'Sand of the Red' uncle pursued Temari not for the purpose of cheating money to pay off debts..."

Besides, the biggest backer, Luo Sha, the father of the fourth generation of Fengying, has died, so how much savings the three brothers and sisters can save is a question.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Money is really not too difficult for ninjas to obtain as long as they are ruthless. After all, they are strong people who master force.

However, for most of the official ninjas in the major ninja villages, there is almost no additional income except for completing tasks to earn rewards.

So, you have to find another way.

Daimaru took out a processed hyena pelt from the storage scroll and threw it in front of Kankuro.

"This is……"

Kankuro reached out and stroked the well-preserved material.

"Good stuff, tough texture, good chakra conductivity, you can't collect such good materials from ordinary beasts, you killed a psychic beast?"

Why doesn't the puppet master know that biological materials are actually more suitable for making puppets?

The key is that ninjas are the most suitable for making puppets. From this, the forbidden art and human puppets have been developed; the second-class are all kinds of psychic beasts. These are too rare. I have really caught a powerful psychic beast. Are you willing to kill it just to get some materials for making puppets?

There are a large number of ordinary beasts that are relatively easy to hunt, but the material is too ordinary, far less excellent than the puppets made of rare wood.

"Don't worry about how I got it, just say if you want it or not..."

"Of course I want it, but it's not cheap..."

"certainly……"

Daimaru collected the materials,

"I have a lot of good things like this, but it's too bad to sell the materials. There are not many puppet masters in the village, and there are even fewer stylists who can make excellent puppets. No matter how good the materials are, they can't sell for high prices..."

"So, are you going to sell the finished product?"

Kankuro frowned and said,

"Doing this will involve more problems..."

Only a very small number of puppet masters have the ability to make their own puppets, and the outflowing combat puppets are basically in the hands of a few elite puppet stylists.

Daimaru makes his own puppets for his own use, and even small-scale transactions are not a problem, but if you want to sell them on a large scale, you will definitely run into trouble.

In the environment where Sandyin Village is almost monopolized, it is too difficult for Daimaru to get a piece of the pie.

"Do you make money selling puppets?"

Kankuro nodded fiercely.

The selection of materials in Shayin Village is too strict. Even if many children do not have too outstanding talent in ninjutsu, it is not a problem to be a normal puppet master.

The second half, which is easy to learn but difficult to master, is something that elite geniuses consider.

Even in the first half, because the barely acceptable fighting puppets were too expensive, a large number of children from civilian families had to leave their ninja careers, and even a few families with small savings could not find a way to buy them with money.

Daimaru said quietly:

"The number of puppets in the village is limited, and due to use, it will gradually wear out and become scrapped. In addition, the skilled puppet stylists are not always making puppets. The puppet masters who seem to have a low threshold are actually different from most sandboxes. Endure no chance..."

Famous puppet stylists will not create puppets on their own initiative unless inspired.Most of the works are made by wealthy families in need who spend a lot of money on invitations to cultivate the next generation.

"Yes!"

Kankuro sighed,

"It's really amazing that you can become a decent puppet master from a family like yours..."

0217 By the way

"Although you seem to be complimenting, why am I not happy at all?"

Daimaru said absentmindedly:

"Let's put these aside for the time being. I'm going to start with selling the simple version of the puppet, paying for after-sales service, paying for repairs when it's broken..."

"Jian Pei? It feels very cheap when you hear it, can you sell it?"

In the past, the battle puppets that Kankuro came into contact with were all high-quality products, all of which were branded with the unique style of the stylist, and even infused with some personal emotions.

Most of these high-end puppets have high art collection value in addition to their fighting ability.

"Young masters like you don't look down on them, the children of the common people's family are good things that can't be expected..."

Daimaru sneered,

"Believe it or not, as long as I let out the wind and say that I want to sell puppets, there are many people from well-off families with a little spare money who come to the door..."

"So exaggerated? Why haven't I seen you go around buying puppets with a shy face..."

The teenager who was tinkering with the collection of puppets behind closed doors really didn't know enough about the situation of the ninja family at the bottom of the sandyin village.

"I can do it myself, and I have accumulated materials for several years. The situation of other civilian ninjas who are interested in puppet art can be imagined..."

Whether you can afford it or not is the next step that needs to be considered. First, there must be a channel to buy puppets.

Not every puppet master is a modeling genius, and no one teaches that it is not bad to be able to carve a piece of wood into a lifelike puppet.

Daimaru, who is not a very skilled puppet stylist, is enough to meet the needs of most young ninjas who are interested in developing puppet arts.

Those elite puppet stylists who are high above, only do business in the rich and powerful, and disdain to deal with the "poor people" who can't make much money.

At the level of Daimaru, those high-end customers also despise Daimaru's puppets, so Daimaru temporarily sets the "customer" target in the cheap puppet field that others despise.

Methods and strategies, try to use standard modules to make, simple and easy to use, and provide services such as paid private modification, weapon poisoning, parts replacement, and maintenance.

These weak puppet masters don't have any secret skills and privacy worth caring about. Unlike those custom-made high-level puppets, they are basically sold with one hammer. What Daimaru cares about is the long-term benefits.

Elites are in the minority. If Daimaru can empty out most of the money bags of the puppet masters who have nowhere to buy, they can also make a lot of money, and it shouldn't be a problem to pay off their debts.

"You're like..."

After understanding Daimaru's thinking, Kankuro thought for a while and then said,

"The impact is not particularly big, maybe it can really be..."

Because of choosing differentiated competition, making money in areas that others dislike will be much less crowded out. If you can develop and grow before others realize the threat, and win over a group of people, even if you want to suppress it, it will be too late.

Of course, the premise is that there really is a market for Daimaru's "simple version" battle puppet...

"Then, you're telling me this on purpose, aren't you just trying to show off your 'getting rich' plan?"

"Would you like to follow my brother-in-law to earn some pocket money?"

"At this time, I am the brother-in-law you admitted again?"

"Don't be so rude, Kankuro, we are all ninjas, we can't do everything by ourselves, we can unite to build up our momentum and attract a group of talents to help us.

This is not a shameful thing, I have sold homemade poison for so many years, and no one cares about me..."

"Do you want to establish a faction? Gaara became Kazekage, and the first thing to weaken is these self-contained forces..."

Daimaru smiled and waved his hand and replied:

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that some things really can't be done alone, especially in Shayin Village!

Kankuro, you are the young master of the fourth generation of Kazeying, and some things are clearer than me. To put it bluntly, the power that Senior Maki and the others possess is not enough for Gaara to sit firmly in the position of the fifth generation of Kazeying. .

You and Temari are Gaara's closest and most reliant people, but if things continue like this, Temari can barely be a battlefield commander. You are also a bodyguard and a thug, how much can you help? "

"What can I do?"

Although he knew that what Daimaru said was true, Kankuro was still a little unwilling.

"I can't even find the opportunity to be promoted to Chunin, so I can only do low-level tasks that have nothing to do with the overall situation..."

Daimaru patted Kankuro's shoulder and said:

"Strong strength is our foundation. It is not the key to do business to make money, build development forces, and fight for power and profit. However, these external forces can help us improve our strength faster.

Therefore, first of all, you have to make yourself influential, attract some people to follow and then join the group to keep warm.

If your father was still there, or if Maggie-senpai and the others could be stronger, a lot of things would be easier..."

I understand the truth, but there are not so many facts. Except for Maggie's protection, everything depends on the efforts of the three brothers and sisters.

"Are you recruiting me?"

After a long silence, Kankuro asked in a deep voice.

"How can this be called solicitation? You are my brother-in-law, shouldn't you help each other? This is called sincere cooperation..."

"You're a ninja, you should be an actor..."

The puppet master boy glanced at Daimaru, who was talking eloquently, and said in a dull tone,

"What do you need me to do?"

Daimaru replied with a smile:
