Red sand dust

The Sand Ninjas have been operating in this sea area for some time, and there is a phenomenon that Daimaru is unwilling to mention casually.

The small countries in this sea area are not rich, not even the high-ranking daimyo. The officials and nobles below collude with the strong men to act as pirates, robbing the merchants and travelers in the way, and there are more than one or two who seek wealth and death.

When relatives suffer, the mission of seeking revenge for blood relatives never stops. This takes up a large part of the tasks received by Suna Ninja. Konoha Village may not value this meager profit, but Sunagakure Village needs this very much. A task that can increase your reputation.

Breaking out of the original scope of the Kingdom of Wind and establishing a foothold in a new territory is not an easy matter, and all aspects need to be taken into consideration.

It cannot be wrong that Konoha Village gave this piece of land to Sunagakure Village. The same thing has completely different values ​​in the hands of different people.

Konoha Village cannot open the southern sea route to the Country of Wind, but it is not a problem for Sunagakure Village.

More importantly, Suna Ninja has an air combat force that uses super mobility to maintain the enclave. This is a huge advantage unparalleled by other Ninja Villages.

On the sea, the combat effectiveness of the Suna Ninja is still much lower, but it is far more efficient than the Konoha Ninja and the Mist Ninja in attacking pirates who have no fixed location, are constantly suppressing, and have poor combat effectiveness.

I am afraid that when Tsunade dumped this golden delta to Sunagakure Village, she never thought that Daimaru had such a plan, and even seriously underestimated the power that the Sand Ninjas could unleash after they escaped from the cage of the Land of Wind and Sand.

After half a day, without completing the entire journey, Daimaru and Temari followed the nearly 100-meter-high patio to the ground.

The target is a small valley, where a giant puppet nearly ten meters high is being jointly controlled by three puppet masters, working in conjunction with five or six medium-sized puppets around it.

After digging out the rock formations and breaking them into pieces, they were piled aside as roadbed and then handled by ninjas who were proficient in earth escape.

Amidst the roars, the terrain is changing at an extremely fast speed.

If the appearance of the puppet was not very different from the construction machinery in the previous life, and there was no roar of diesel engines and electrical appliances, Daimaru would even have a sense of déjà vu as if he had traveled back to his previous life.

"In half a month, the Naruto Canal will be officially opened. Naruto Village's special fruits, wines and beverages will be sold to the Country of Waves. The first fleet will go north through the Naruto Canal, and then return full of wheat..."

Going back and forth can save nearly a month compared to the old route. If there is headwind or storm, the convenience is even more obvious.

"The Leaf Village may feel that it is inappropriate for the Wind Country to obtain the land of the Kawa Country, but they don't understand that the Sand Ninja who can fully utilize the Naruto Village enclave will be even more powerful! If another road is built from the Northern Fortress to Awaji Village , the north-south railway artery that passes through Sunagakure Village. In a few years, Suna Ninja and even the entire Kingdom of Wind will be shocked by the entire Ninja world..."

The country of wind occupies almost one-fifth of the land of the Ninja World. Most of it is the Gobi Desert, which is short of water. However, as long as the existing oases are developed, supplemented by the coast and a large number of unique The unique island is already amazing in size.

Just like the fighting nation known as the modern Mongolian Empire in its previous life, most of it is permafrost, but as long as some corners are developed, it is already terrifying in scale.

More is good, big is strong, and a small country with few people can be powerful for a while. The same principle applies to the ninja world.

The desert of the Kingdom of Wind, which has been "dry for a long time", can bear abundant fruits as long as a ray of living water is introduced.

Looking at the puppet masters and apprentices who were busy, Temari said with a complicated expression:

"I still have the impression that some of the people inside are untalented civilians who are ready to give up. I didn't expect that one day they would become the backbone..."

"Everyone has their own talents. In the past, we did not have the ability and financial resources to train them into talents, let alone the positions suitable for them. Now..."

Daimaru shook his head slightly.

It is much stronger now than before, but it is still far from enough.

There is still a long way to go before we can completely change the status quo of Sand Hidden Village, or even the entire Kingdom of Wind.

…

After briefly browsing with Temari, the two returned to Naruto Village, which had begun to take shape.

After hastily filling his stomach, he came to the arranged training ground.

At this moment, everyone was busy, and the guards were temporarily dismissed by Daimaru.

"Now, let's talk about it. What exactly is the so-called 'artificial elf'? It's mysterious. I don't know what you plan to do..."

"First of all, let's start with the puppet paradise called 'Cradle Garden'. Its origin is the 'Psychic Puppet Project' hosted by Miss Saya. After my cooperation with her, it is a further product! The ultimate goal is to turn 'Cradle Garden' into a paradise." 'Create it into the inheritance holy land of Sand Ninja..."

Next, Daimaru told Temari the history of the development of puppetry and the original intention of their cooperation in a concise and concise manner.

Ten minutes later, Temari, who looked normal, watched Daimaru finish his performance, and then asked slowly:

"It sounds like the tactics of those guys who use inexplicable plans to deceive villages into allocating research funds. The goal seems ideal and beautiful. Is it really not a pretense?"

"How can it be?"

Daimaru argued a little aggrievedly,

"There was no participation from the village. It was completely completed with the money and efforts of Miss Saya and I..."

"The relationship between you two has gotten to this point?"

Temari looked at Daimaru deeply.

"Can we even share the key inheritance techniques that determine the fate of families, factions, and even villages?"

"this……"

Daimaru's face froze, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously,

"Although Miss Saya and I are the creators and founders of the 'Cradle Garden', we are not its masters. Artificial elves are beings with independent will and are partners of Suna Ninja, not slaves..."

"That's it!"

Temari hesitated thoughtfully for a while, then nodded in agreement,

"I believe you won't do anything harmful to me, but... the little guy you mentioned has to be seen in person. The psychic contract is a very serious matter..."

The Wind Princess, who already has the psychic beast Kamadori, certainly understands how important the psychic contract concluded with a blood contract or a soul oath is.

The right psychic beast can even take up a large part of a ninja's strength.

For example, Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas", would not be able to fully exert his combat power in Sage mode without the help of the psychic beasts of Mt. Myoboku.

Seeing that Temari's tone was no longer full of resistance, Daimaru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chaoyan is a good and well-educated boy. He will definitely get along with you..."
