Red sand dust

Daimaru, who was busy until early in the morning, left after urgently arranging manpower to check for risks, returned to the lounge, washed up a little, and prepared to rest, it was not far from dawn.

It rained outside for most of the night and gradually stopped. In the distant sky, the slightly dispersed clouds scattered the brilliance of the sun, giving off a trace of white halo.

Daimaru, who was sitting in front of the window with his eyes closed and concentrating, sorted through what happened in the past two days and didn't find many omissions, so he thought about the things that needed to be dealt with urgently.

"Personal strength, village construction, and laying the foundation for the future need to be done step by step!" 』

The slightly cool moist air, with the fragrance of morning, penetrates the heart and soothes the tired mind a little.

Physical fatigue is secondary. The problem is the mental sense of urgency. It cannot be overcome with strong mental strength. You must have enough rest to adjust.

Even now, Daimaru can't help but envy that kind of powerful person who can handle countless trivial matters clearly.

The puppet workshop in Sunagakure Village, the air combat unit training base, the operation and maintenance of Awaji Village, and Naruto Village, which is now beginning to take shape, all require a large number of manpower to support Daimaru in such a huge situation.

Strength is the foundation of Daimaru's career. Daimaru will never miss the point and fall into the quagmire of conspiracy and farming for hegemony.

"Unfortunately, Jiraiya's fighting style is a little different. Even if they are both immortals, they are not the same way. 』

Except for the Two Life Techniques that can be used for reference, Myoboku Mountain does not have many senjutsu that Daimaru is willing to study. Jiraiya is probably not very interested in the wind escape and spirit magic that Daimaru is proficient in.

If you want to discuss and communicate, you can't find a strong motivation or reason.

Smiling secretly, Daimaru dived his spirit deep into the depths, and easily established contact with the cypress in the "cradle garden" wrapped in the turbulence of time and space.

"Father, are those the contractors you chose for me?"

"Hmm! How do you feel?"

"The stupid boy with blond hair has a disgusting smell in his body; the dark brown long-haired girl has a good smell in her body, but it feels a bit dangerous; the intellectual elder sister is just ordinary..."

Kashiwagi, who had not yet learned to be euphemistic, expressed his views bluntly.

"Uzumaki Naruto probably can't do it. With Jiraiya protecting him, we can't do anything to him, and..."

Daimaru paused and continued,

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki on my body is too corrosive. Prolonged contact is not a good thing..."

Tailed beast chakra is harmful to most ninjas and cannot be used directly. Uzumaki Naruto has a special constitution and is protected by the transformation of the Bagua seal.

Artificial elves are still very fragile and should not be taken risks.

Among the nine tailed beasts, the one-tailed Shukaku is the most naughty, and the nine-tailed beast is the most hateful to humans.

Other tailed beasts are limited by the strength and sealing level of the jinchuriki, and they can occasionally come out for air; the nine-tails are different. Every time they see the light of day, they are either ravaged by the Wood Release or fooled by the Mangekyou Sharingan, and in the future they will be defeated by the Samsara Eye. Practice in turns.

How can he have a good impression of human beings when he has been locked up in a small dark room with no hope of being "released after serving his sentence"?

Even when Fukasaku Sage used the Two Life Technique to help Uzumaki Naruto sense natural energy, he was overturned by the nine-tailed chakra and was thrown into the mud. Daimaru should not expect it to give him a good look.

The "Destiny's Child" is on the cusp of the storm, and the risk of picking his wool is a bit high. In comparison, Leman is much safer, but her talent is limited. If she is chosen, Kashiwagi's growth will be slowed down.

Of course, this is not a big problem. I didn't expect the artificial elves in the "Cradle Garden" to grow to a level of practical value in the past two years.

According to Daimaru's idea, after balancing the risks and benefits, Kurama Yakumo is a good choice.

But this girl with a lot of thoughts wants to ask her to help, but she doesn't know what embarrassing conditions she will put forward.

"If you can, try to choose Kurama Yakumo. Maybe you will like her..."

Daimaru comforted Kashiwagi, who was a little worried and a little excited about the future.

Since signing the contract with Uchiha Sasuke, Yamabuki has changed significantly in a short period of time, which makes Kashiwagi, who was born one step later, envious.

She has been looking forward to it for a long time and can't wait to dream about the wonderful life of "seeing the world" in the future.

…

In the morning after the rain, Uzumaki Naruto got up early to practice. After finishing his routine morning exercise, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to Naruto Village, which was already busy.

"So early?"

Uzumaki Naruto, who has always been diligent in training, has had many moments when he was covered with stars and moon, leaving early and returning late.

However, it is rare for people to start working almost as hard as they can at dawn as in Naruto Village.

Jiraiya lazily put his hands in his sleeves, yawned and said:

"This is how everyone works hard to live. Just like you practice hard, want to become stronger, and bring back your companions who have gone astray, they also need to work hard to make money and support their families!"

"But aren't they ninjas... No, some of them are not ninjas!"

Under Daimaru's deliberate maintenance, the hard-working people under his command try to maintain a ratio of one-fourth of ordinary people. Less important jobs can be done without using ninjas, and they are given to civilians who have a difficult life and don't know where to use their energy. a chance.

In Awaji Village, Daimaru has been tried on a small scale and the effect is pretty good.

Gaara supported such an attempt. Most of the elders in Sunagakure Village looked on with cold eyes, and there were also a few stubborn and conservative ninjas who opposed it.

However, the insufficient number of ninjas is a real problem, and no one will blatantly stop it until an alternative is found.

He came to a food kiosk that had just opened and ordered a few snacks as a breakfast treat for himself. Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto lined up to wait for the boss to serve them.

"Ninja is actually a profession. I am very happy. You think that being an excellent ninja is on the road to greatness, but it is not necessarily more noble than other means of making a living..."

Jiraiya used the corner of his eye to look at the passers-by, but he didn't find a girl that was pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"The air here is good and comfortable, and the drinks are decent. But without the enthusiastic little girl who appreciates the talent of the 'Toad Fairy', drinking is a lot less fun..."

Uzumaki Naruto, who had become accustomed to it, automatically filtered out the complaints of the "lecherous sage" as if he had not heard them, and then defended:
