Red Dust

"Hopefully we all get what we want!"

Daimaru, who was talking, stood up and prepared to say goodbye,

"There will be many opportunities to deal with each other in the future, and there will be a period in the future..."

"Hmm! Thank you for the wine..."

"You're welcome!"

Daimaru, who drank all the water in the cup, turned around and left, waved his hand, pushed aside the windscreen and walked out.

"It's not easy!I would rather spend a lot of money to buy wing armor to train air combat ninjas, it seems that the aggressive elder advisors put a lot of pressure on Tsunade..."

As an ally of Sandyin Village, Konoha Ninja has no urgent need to defend against air combat troops in a short period of time. If it weren't for some accidents, it would be hard to imagine such a deal.

Of course, it is also possible that the purchase of wing armor is just a pretense, but has other purposes, such as strengthening cooperation, making diplomatic efforts, and increasing the bargaining chip to win over Wuyin Village.

Specifically, it can only be experienced later.

Looking up at the sky, it was still early. Daimaru adjusted his direction and walked towards the "Daimaru Workshop" that he hadn't visited for a while.

Chapter 0356 Snowballing

The "Daimaru Workshop" that was originally opened to make money is not as simple as it was when it first opened.

The original simple and elegant display and sales area has been expanded a lot.

The five or six adjacent storefronts have been leased and transformed into a puppet service area integrating exhibition halls, after-sales, supporting facilities, finance, and training.

In order to make the store clerks and temporary workers on duty feel at ease, Daimaru even opened a low-rent leisure place for the employees who work for Daimaru to take a break from their busy schedules.

Since the business has improved, Daimaru has a lot of money on hand, and the pressure of debt is not so serious. This "workshop area", where some future ideas are placed, has invested a lot.

Even though Daimaru is too busy and rarely visits, he often asks trusted people to manage it on his behalf.

Considering that in Shayin Village, the possibility of being directly attacked by the Six Paths of Payne and razed to the ground by the Earth Blast Star is extremely unlikely, the industries that are being built now do not need to worry too much about external damage.

Therefore, laying a solid foundation early will be of great benefit to future development.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the village to promote the training of the air team and the manufacture of wing armor, Daimaru specially bought a vacant land in the prosperous area of ​​Sandyin Village, which is closest to the Kazekage House and the wealthy residential area. A simple warehouse was established as a place for goods transit.

In the future, this warehouse Daimaru plans to build a small fort building as the headquarters of the forces with Daimaru as the core.

Of course, this is only a preliminary plan.

The area is not large, but the location is good, and there are no restrictions on residential land, commercial land, and agricultural land in Shayin Village. How to arrange it in the future depends on future development.

In the area near the center of Shayin Village, there should be no large vacant land, but this land is a bit special. It was originally a groundwater collection plant, and it was almost abandoned two years ago due to the depletion of water sources.

The village planned to lease it to a wealthy businessman in the Land of Winds to develop it into a commercial building. As a result, after the "Konoha Collapse Plan", the village collapsed and the so-called cooperation plan naturally fell through.

What's more troublesome is that because the groundwater flowing through is depleted, the ground seems to be showing signs of subsidence. It is not easy to develop and deal with the danger of subsidence, and the investment is instantly large, so it is temporarily idle.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the village and no one cared about the plot, Daimaru bought it.

The price is naturally not cheap. With the share of the "Damaru Workshop" as collateral, and the penalty clause of manufacturing [-] standard wing armors within five years after the default, the land was paid off after borrowing a large amount of money. Block down payment.

Today, the scale of Daimaru's debt has doubled from before, but he can still borrow money.

Daimaru's strength, prestige and influence make everyone believe that he has the strength to pay off the arrears; in fact, this is the case. Now the "Daimaru Workshop" has much more income than before it became famous.

After the expansion of the scale, the required talents are also much more than before.That's why Shanai was brooding about the apprentice being poached.

However, when Daimaru walked into the workshop, there was no sign of being in a hurry. Because of the bad weather, there were not many pedestrians going out. There were a lot fewer customers today, and the exhibition area was relatively deserted.

A pale white hooded robe covered Daimaru's ninja armor. Except for the forehead guard on his head, there was no sign of identity.

A few of the apprentices who didn't know Daimaru thought they were customers who came to watch. They were about to go forward to greet them, but they were repelled by Shibuya Aika with a wave.

Feeling the peaceful atmosphere nearby, Daimaru asked in a low voice:

"Just you? Where did Sha Sui go..."

"There is a batch of wing armor parts in the warehouse area that needs to be signed! Sha Sui will go there to inspect the goods..."

Now Sha Sui and Shibuya Aika, who have a lot of experience, are already the rare backbone of the workshop, and they don't need their personal supervision for ordinary affairs.

Wing armor is a task entrusted by the village. Although the "official order" is lucrative, the problem is not small, and it has to be cautious.

"Are you still busy? I heard that some apprentices have been poached..."

"I was in a hurry a while ago, but now it's almost stable!"

Aika Shibuya, who was talking, handed over the employee list that had been prepared a long time ago,

"Boss, a group of people will come to interview tomorrow, do you want to see it?"

Daimaru waved his hand:

"You make up your mind, I may not have time!"

Daimaru, who was talking, casually flipped through the list in his hand.

There are currently 37 people employed at Daimaru Workshop, including 29 apprentices including Saho and Aika Tsutaya.

Not counting Yemu, Qian and Shanai, there are also two Jinnin who signed a temporary labor agreement and can come to help in an emergency. These two are ordinary puppet masters from ordinary families, and they are also consumers of puppet spiders, because they are unable to pay. After paying the full amount, you can only buy it with a loan, and then work part-time to pay off the debt.

The remaining six people are all ordinary people between the ages of 17 and 25, accountants and finance, toy doll sales, statisticians, etc., and even a chef who cooks for the overtime employees. Most signed full-time employment agreements ranging from two to five years.

Among the 29 apprentices, two of them are determined to leave in half a month, and fourteen have already left the teacher. Except for Shasui and Aika Tsuguya who are in charge, the other eleven newcomers have accumulated experience with other apprentices.

This kind of staffing is still a little thin. According to expectations, at least a dozen people will be needed to maintain healthy operation.

"It's okay, you and Sha Sui have to worry a lot when the others are not around, and besides..."

After thinking about it, Daimaru said,

"You don't need to call me boss in the future, you two can just call your seniors. The village will most likely form a department dedicated to managing and developing puppet weapons..."

In the past, puppet stylists basically fought alone, and communication with each other was not smooth.

Now it seems that the importance of puppet art is getting higher and higher, and it is very inappropriate to let it go. There must be a special "official agency" to control and promote development in a planned way.

Just like before, Daimaru was "talking nonsense" on stage, and few people could understand it under the stage. It was really shameless.

"Senior? You mean..."

Shibuya Aika asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Just know, don't make a noise. A few trusted high-level puppet stylists will be included, supplemented by some young and potential puppet masters; there are only so many puppet masters in the village, and most of them are reckless guys who are keen to fight and kill. , There are too few people who really have experience in making puppets, so it is necessary to recommend an assessment! You are ready, and seize the opportunity..."

Chapter 0357 The Highest Price

This is a new official ninja promotion channel, which is different from the graduation assessment of the ninja school and the selection of the air team. The candidates for the new department are not only for puppet masters, but also some recommended outstanding apprentices can also be accepted.

In addition to the above methods of becoming an official ninja, there is also the internal recommendation of the Shadow Guard for promotion.

The non-permanent reserve selection is the logistics support force where Temari is currently serving as a cadre, which is actually a "reserve".

Because it is not a full-scale mobilization of the Ninja World War, the number of "reserves" is very small this time, and it is basically divided up by related households, so few people outside know about it.

Even in the five major ninja villages, it is not easy to become an official ninja. Aika and Shasui, who have already been eliminated once, have worked so hard for the "Daimaru Workshop", not to get close to the world of ninjas and gain that vague rebirth. Have you had a chance?

Girls of this age are in their prime and their romances are beginning to blossom, and they will talk about marriage in a few years.

Abandoning a peaceful and comfortable environment and accepting Daimaru's invitation to work part-time, generous remuneration is one aspect, and the opportunity to become a ninja is the main goal.

Now, this opportunity has finally arrived.

The overjoyed Shibuya Aika suppressed the joy in her heart. Now she is at work, and many apprentices under her command are looking at her and can't lose their composure.

"Thank you senior!"

"try hard!"

Daimaru, who was talking, put down the documents in his hand, and, accompanied by Shibuya Aika, looked around, and then left.

The new department in the pipeline, researching weapons and making weapons is the main responsibility, in addition to this, it is necessary to set rules for the "wild" puppet stylists.

It doesn't matter if the fur of the puppet technique is learned, and some important secrets must be prevented from leaking out.

It is unreliable to rely on ninjas to consciously obey, especially now that they are on the cusp of the storm, they must stabilize their own advantages.

Recommending Aika Hashitani and Sha Sui to participate in the assessment is a reward for their diligence and dedication, and it can also set an example for other apprentices.

Although the "Daimaru Workshop" is young, it is not without strength. The promotion channels are smooth, and it can promote the apprentices with excellent performance to the official ninja, and let the guys who are just about to move a little calmer, work with peace of mind, and don't always think about changing jobs.

Daimaru didn't want to worry too much about the details, he had already planned it out, as long as he didn't mess around, the guys outside who were staring at him would definitely not be his opponents.

When these people are promoted to official ninjas through Daimaru's influence, they will gradually disperse throughout the village and become a decisive force. When they gather together, the influence they generate will be able to promote many things.

For example, adjusting the strategic goals of Shayin Village and opening up the ocean; accepting outstanding immigrants and not being self-contained as they are now; building water conservancy, digging canals to divert water, and improving food self-sufficiency; researching seawater desalination technology, and developing supporting ninjutsu, etc.

These important things, even Fengying and Daimyo, don't necessarily count. Only by forming consensus and synergy from top to bottom can such a major decision be promoted.

Influence is not the same as being in a high position. I love Luo first ascended to the position of the fifth generation of the wind and shadow, and within a few years, he basically did nothing; Tsunade was the same, and was crushed by several advisors and elders.

Even if Daimaru becomes the fifth generation of Kazekage, it is foreseeable that before the Fourth Ninja World War, he is basically the answerer of those elders and has little real power.

It is really difficult for a few capable confidants to control a big Ninja village.

"There may be noble sons from the poor family, but there are almost no emperors from the poor family! 』

Daimaru, who started from scratch, before he became famous, even some apprentices disliked the "small temple" of Daimaru, and it was even more difficult to convince those big men.

Unless Daimaru can defeat Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi and other S-class rebels, or kill rock ninjas like Loess, then there will be no problem.

However, Shayin Village probably won't be able to wait for that day, and Gaara, who is destined to return, has met a good time.

Putting the tedious things aside for a while, Daimaru plans to go home and stay for a night, see if Temari is in the village tomorrow morning, meet and say hello, and then go to the North Fortress to continue the unfinished task.

……

The Hokage House in Konoha Village, Tsunade looked worriedly at the list in his hand.

"These guys...recommended candidates, are they serious?"

After coming to the conclusion that the efforts of Konoha Village alone would result in no results within a few years, the new Hokage Five Generations gave up the idea of ​​directly creating it by himself.

It is a good idea to spend money to buy wing armor and entrust Shayin Village to train manipulators, and several elders also agree.

However, what kind of price must be paid to get Sand Ren to agree to such a transaction, it is difficult.

While the advisors and the think tank were still arguing, the impatient Tsunade made a bold decision, took out a large sum of money in one go, and stunned Sand Ninja directly.
