I sell sweets in Konoha

For engineering issues, just cooperate well.This man also knows that as long as we cooperate well, it will be beneficial to both parties.Although these people are prisoners of war, they cannot remain prisoners of war forever.

Therefore, having a better attitude and being able to complete the task quickly without offending anyone is better than anything else.

Gaara carefully mixed the concrete.

This was the first time he had done this kind of work, and it was the first time he discovered that his ability had such a use besides killing people.There was always something wrong, but Gaara noticed something else.

Just like this man.

"I will do a good job, Mr. Kira." Gaara was slightly humble, removing the indifference and cruelty in his words and saying with more respect and even a sense of flattery: "I will definitely work hard to do this well. A living thing.”

"Hahahaha~" The man named Ji Liang patted Lailuo's shoulder and laughed heartily and said, "No need to use any honorifics."

"Since we are all working on the same construction site, even though I am the technical director, we are all co-workers."

"Everyone gets along well. After completing the mission, we are still friends."

"If only my son could be as capable as you."

Kira suddenly sighed.

He started talking more, especially when he realized that the red-haired boy with dark circles under his eyes was not as difficult to talk to as he had imagined.There were even more words.

Gaara didn't answer. He lacked communication with others and could hardly keep up with the uncle's conversation.

But at least he could feel the enthusiasm and sincerity from this uncle.

This...

This is something that I can't feel at all in Sand Hidden Village, that I am truly needed.Be recognized by others, and have people who are willing to open up and chat with you.

There are also people who would like to be your friends...

This feeling, this passion, this pure emotion like a flame comes from the simplest man.

It even made Gaara feel that the ice in his heart was melting.

It will be done!It must be done well. Although this is just the most ordinary job, it already means enough to him.

Being needed and recognized by others. For the first time, I feel that I am a useful person and exist in this world as a human being.Rather than being a container, being a weapon.

That's enough.

Gaara began to mobilize all his enthusiasm to devote himself to the reconstruction of Konoha.

Temari...

Then Shikamaru went shopping with him!

"It's really troublesome..." Shikamaru said, holding his head in his hands: "Why was I assigned such a task? And there is no commission."

"And what do you think in Sunagakure Village? You dare to attack Konoha Village?"

"According to Lord Godai, the essence of war is a competition of national strength."

"It's also a competition of economic strength, your Sunagakure Village."

"Where did you get this courage?"

On this issue, Shikamaru always felt that his IQ was so inadequate.He thought of 1 reasons to explain why Sunagakure Village attacked Konoha.

But in the end they were overturned by themselves.

I always feel that Sunagakure Village's attack on Konoha is like 'ah~ I suddenly want to attack Konoha Village'

Such a happy decision.

No serious investigation has been done at all!

"If you don't attack Konoha, you don't have to be a prisoner." Shikamaru complained: "If you don't want to be a prisoner, I don't have to watch you alone here."

"If I don't watch you alone, I can go on a mission with the team. If I go on a mission with the team."

"I can make more money."

"if..."

"What if?!" Temari finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped talking if she was caught and held captive.After being completely isolated, let her enjoy this most special captive treatment alone.

This....

How will she get around in Sand Hidden Village in the future? !

"Can you say a few words less?" Temari said angrily: "And aren't you a rich man? You can write checks casually."

"That belongs to our family." Shikamaru said awkwardly, "Even though dad gave me this right."

"But is spending your own money the same as spending your parents' money?"

The Nara family suddenly became rich due to the fifth generation's entrustment and transfer, and quickly became the richest among the original Ino, Deer and Butterfly combination.This time, Shikamaru felt as if he was a little farther away from his friends.

Although if you don’t work hard, you will have to go home and inherit the family property, it is better to work hard now.

"You really don't understand anything." Shikamaru said angrily.

"Humph." Temari was also very angry and snorted without saying a word.

"Speaking of it." Shikamaru suddenly thought of a question and said: "Why does your Sunagakure Village think about attacking Konoha? Don't you know that Konoha is very strong and its economic strength is also very powerful?"

"Why do you ask this?" Temari asked angrily.

"I just want to know." Shikamaru said nonchalantly: "Curious."

"Let's pick up a topic by the way. You're not Choji, so you can't watch the clouds with me."

Shikamaru told the truth, it seems that men in Konoha are a bit steely.He really wanted to know, and he wanted to find a topic to avoid the awkward silence. At the same time, if this guy wasn't Choji, he wouldn't be able to watch the clouds with him.

"Hmph." Temari said, "It's just because it's too powerful."

Yes, that's the reason.Because of Konoha's power, Sunagakure Village feels pressured.

Kazekage couldn't think of how to make Sunagakure Village more powerful. All he could think of was to kill the Konoha Village that made him feel more pressure.

"That's it?" Shikamaru said obviously disappointed, "Is this the end?"

"Yes, otherwise what do you think?" Temari asked.

"Ah...it feels very troublesome and stupid." Shikamaru thought carefully for a while and said, "Your image is like a gambler."

Shikamaru said without any hesitation: "Gamble with Sunagakure Village."

I didn't think about the consequences of losing, I just thought that once I win, I can make all the profits back.I never thought that I would be transferred into the abyss once I lost.

"The rise and fall of a country will depend on this battle?" Shikamaru thought carefully for a long time and finally felt that he could match the words that Godai-sama often joked about.

"What could you do if you were the Kazekage?" Temari asked when she saw that Shikamaru loved thinking about this so much, "Facing such a powerful Konoha."

"I don't know." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "I'm not the Kazekage, so I can't imagine this pressure."

Shikamaru was very straightforward and didn't want to put himself in someone else's shoes, so he didn't bother to do something that didn't make any sense.

"If I insist on saying it, I don't want the egg to hit a rock." Shikamaru said firmly.

"Then your Konoha is just stone?" Temari asked unconvinced.

"At least Sunagakure Village and Oto Ninja Village had a bloody encounter here." Shikamaru said.

"..." Temari was speechless, Konoha looked very destroyed.But in fact, Konoha's strength has basically been preserved, and the high-level Jonin and the backbone Chuunin have basically not sacrificed much.

On the other hand, in Sand Ninja Village and Sound Ninja Village, although the villages are fine, at this stop it can be said that nine out of ten houses are empty.

They would either die in battle or be captured, if Konoha Village did not release them and go back.

There will be a very serious power gap between Sunagakure Village and Oto Ninja Village!

The actual losses are almost immeasurable!

"What does your Hokage plan to do with us in the end?" Temari gritted her teeth and asked the question she was most worried about.

"I don't know." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "But based on my guess."

"Hokage-sama probably wants to sell you at a good price!"

Chapter 384 I, Itachi, am as beautiful as a picture

"Doesn't this Konoha security inspection look good?"

A certain shark-faced man wearing a black red cloud robe and a bamboo hat looked disdainfully at the Konoha Village, which seemed to have an unusually lax defense and almost no security checks.

"If you think Konoha Village's security capabilities are basically zero." A black-haired man wearing the same clothes said, "You can do something random here."

"After that, I think you can get a bigger fish tank to live in."

"Hahahaha~" Shark Face's expression soon turned long and he apologized with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Itachi, I was just joking."

"But I didn't." Itachi said with his dead face: "The Fifth Hokage of Konoha is a bit special."

"Konoha Village is not like other ninja villages."

Although he has left Konoha Village for a long time, Itachi is still the one who is most familiar with Konoha Village.During the third generation, the strategy of loosening externally and tightening internally began to be implemented.

And now the Five Dynasties period has pushed this strategy to its peak.

On the surface, this place does not look like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body like other ninja villages. In fact, there are many informants secretly.

The Fifth Generation even introduced the policy of relying on the 'people of Konoha' to complete security tasks.

Now, if you want to cause trouble in Konoha, you don't necessarily have to be noticed by Konoha ANBU and report it, but you have to be noticed and reported by the villagers of Konoha Village.

So trying to do things from within the village is really a very risky thing and the failure rate is very high.

Itachi wouldn't be so stupid as to do this in the village.

"Let's have something to eat first, and then we'll leave." Itachi paused and said, "Remember, Kisame should keep a low profile in Konoha Village."

"Yeah." Kisame is not a fool. Although he can be a little impulsive sometimes, he can at least think about things calmly.Especially after being beaten up by Payne and dragged into the organization, he knew that impulsiveness could not solve the problem.

"Then we have to do something." Kisame asked.

"Just come around." Itachi said, "Someone will let me know."

Come here for a walk, have something to eat and then go.

The place we went to was the Fifth Generation store.

A place where business is not very good, although Wu Dai is famous and has a lot of money.But her own store was doing poorly. After all, this place that had been closed most of the time, business was really bleak.

And this was also the place that Konoha people least wanted to come to.

Itachi walked down the street.

His childhood memories of this place have become very blurry. In his memory, this is a decayed place.It was a place I wouldn’t want to come to even if I was playing games with my friends, and I had never been here very often.

Five generations who were not recognized by the tribe lived here.

This place has been forgotten by the tribesmen and villagers.

Now, after returning to Konoha after such a long absence, I came here again and found that this place seemed to be rejuvenated with new vitality.

"Isn't that red-haired brat a Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village?" Kisame quickly noticed a red-haired boy who was laying cement and said, "He actually worked hard. Has this guy forgotten his identity? Is it done?"

Working really hard, Itachi glanced at Gaara quietly.

Using Shukaku's power to do such a thing is really cheap, and there is no expression on his face.

But Itachi could feel something else in those eyes.

A sincere and passionate feeling, simple and fragile.It's like I have regained my self and value, and I am working hard on the work in my hands.

He is passionate about this job that other ninjas may think is absolutely worthless.

Focused and diligent.

But he is also timid, as if he is always afraid that he will lose a lot if he fails in what he is doing.

"Hey~ Gaara has eaten!"

An unknown girl was holding a food box in her hand. Judging from her clothing, she seemed to be the most ordinary villager of Konoha Village.There are no ninja symbols, ordinary fabrics, and a small face that is not too delicate, with the simplicity most common to ordinary people.

And there seemed to be a little something else in her eyes when she looked at Gaara.

"That...I...my side...Uncle Kira..."

Gaara's tone came out stuttering, he looked nervous and worried.It was probably because he hadn't communicated with others normally for too long. He tried to change his facial expression to make his face look less gloomy.

But I don’t know how to laugh and look funny. I want to express my feelings and thoughts but don’t know how to communicate.
