"What's wrong?"
Ugetsu stood up.
"I'll go and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
Yu Yue followed the young man out.
It's so urgent, something must have happened.
When I walked out, I saw a young ninja looking for someone with a panicked look on his face.
"Lord Luo Sha is not in the village today because he has a mission."
Uchiha Shisui recalled the news he heard today.
As soon as he said this, the boy's face turned pale.
"Then what should we do..."
"What happened?"
Don't just say what you want to do or what you don't want to do. Just tell me what happened first.
Yu Yue's voice was still powerful, and the young man calmed down a little.
"Lady Karula...Lady Karula had a difficult birth, so..."
"If you have a difficult birth, you should go find a doctor. Why call him? Can he help with the birth?"
The boy almost cried when he heard this.
Yu Yue was not going to continue arguing with someone who was at a loss.
"Shisui, go find the sunscreen workshop and call Granny Chiyo, Miss Yakushi, and Mr. Orochimaru."
"I see."
When human lives are at stake, Uchiha Shisui will not dwell on matters of ninja villages or not. He responded and disappeared from the spot.
"Send one more person from your Anbu and see who will go and call Scorpion as well."
They are all people who are well versed in the human body, so it doesn’t matter whether they are medical ninjas or not.
What if you can think of a solution?
"yes!"
A man hiding in the dark hurried away upon hearing this.
"You lead the way, let's go take a look first."
"yes!"
Karula was lying in the delivery room at this time. In order not to affect the treatment, Temari and Kankuro were taken to other rooms by others.
Although the ninja's children matured more precociously than their peers, the fear of losing their mother still made them panic. They kept crying silently until they were so tired that they fell asleep.
The backwardness of the Sand Village is not just about "lack of money" in the literal sense, but exists in all aspects.
For example, backward facilities and outdated equipment.
Not to mention even medical resources.
The only resources available were devoted to healing wounds.
and the direction of the toxin, don’t mention anything else.
These problems do not appear on the surface, so they are often overlooked.
But once the problem breaks out, everything will be exposed.
When Yu Yue arrived, the delivery room was depressing.
The medical ninjas who can come have already come, but medical ninjas are not omnipotent.
They tried their best, but no one dared to promise the results.
"Have Grandma Chiyo and the others arrived yet?"
“Here it comes!”
As the sound came, the sunscreen trio also appeared in everyone's sight.
"What's the situation now?"
Yakushi Nono was the first to speak.
"It's not yet born... The teacher said it would be dangerous if we continue like this..."
The little girl who followed the teacher outside the door was about to cry.
"Ms. Yu Yue, we..."
Pharmacist Nono is really willing to save people.
But they are from Konoha Village, so it is a question whether they can get in.
Not to mention the Sand Village, even Konoha is still unclear whether they can agree.
Unless someone gives 'permission'.
"Saving lives is the most important thing."
Yu Yue certainly understood what she meant.
"You go in and save people first, and I'll take care of the rest."
Since Yu Yue has called people here, it is impossible for her to let him down at this time.
"I understand, Master Chiyo, please allow us to help."
Chiyo was stunned when she saw the pharmacist Nono who was following behind her.
——She never expected that one day she would see people from Konoha coming to rescue the people of Sand Village.
This is something that we wouldn't even dare to dream of in the past.
But she also knew that time was urgent and she needed to race against time.
So she nodded and immediately took people to the delivery room.
Orochimaru hesitated for a moment.
He has extensive knowledge of the human body and medicine.
But he's not a medical ninja after all, so it seems...
"Mr. Orochimaru isn't going in?"
Seeing Orochimaru suddenly stop, Ugetsu raised his voice to urge him.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go in."
"Why not? We need to unite all forces now. Mr. Orochimaru has a wealth of medical knowledge.
If not now, when will it be used?"
"These are my orders, you just have to obey them and don't worry about anything else."
"The most important thing is to keep the child alive. The safety of both mother and child is more important than anything else."
It’s one thing to take responsibility, but what’s wrong with taking on more?
If there was no one who knew medical ninjutsu among the people coming to support her, she would have been able to capture everyone.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire. At this time, you are still arguing about whether it is a village or not. Are you crazy?
If you want to argue, you have to be alive to do so.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment.
"Keeping people alive is more important than anything else."
How long has it been since he heard such words?
In the world of ninja, missions are everything.
Everything they did was to complete the mission.
To achieve this goal, people can give everything - including their lives.
Many times, sacrificing one's life to complete missions and fight is even taken for granted.
Not to mention the pregnant women in other ninja villages.
Even their own relatives and friends are the same. Ninjas always witness and experience the death of people they know time and time again.
The person who was drinking and chatting happily yesterday is lying lifeless in front of you today.
The person with whom you once laughed and talked about your ideals may no longer even have a complete corpse.
Sometimes, helping others solve their pain with your own hands is even a form of kindness from your fellow men.
But all of this is so common in the world of ninja.
"Why don't you go now? What are you standing there for?"
Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be hesitating, Ugetsu hurriedly urged him a few more words.
Whether or not you can help is one thing, but if something really goes wrong due to lack of manpower, won’t you regret it for the rest of your life?
"I'll go right away."
Orochimaru lowered his head.
This was the first time he responded so willingly.
Not for the mission, but for 'life'.
After Orochimaru left for a while, Scorpion, who was called by the Anbu of the Sand Village, also arrived.
To be honest, Scorpio finds it even more outrageous.
——No, it’s a difficult birth. Why did you call me here?
Could he still assist in childbirth?
And when he heard that Konoha's ninjas had also gone in to rescue people, he was stunned where he was.
I even suspected that there was something wrong with my ears.
who?
Konoha?
Save someone?
Save the people from Sand Village?
As a person whose parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas, Scorpion felt that even if the Six Paths Sage was resurrected, the shock it brought would not be greater than today.
The world of ninja is full of killing.
Killing someone today and being killed tomorrow is perfectly normal.
Especially when war broke out, hundreds or even thousands of ninjas died in battles with various ninja villages.
Some know the murderer, while others don’t even know who killed them or how they died.
After all, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes.
Any ninjutsu or ninja tool can potentially cause death.
It is not uncommon for people to die at the hands of their own people for various reasons.
Therefore, it is false to say that living people do not hate.
But to say that I hate everyone one by one, that is not the case.
Because I'm too tired.
I can't hate you enough.
What's more, ninja villages would cooperate and form alliances from time to time.
Today's enemy may be tomorrow's ally.
If you keep indulging in hatred.
That person will go crazy.
But it is impossible to say that there is no feeling or grudge at all.
Even if you don't hate the entire ninja village, but your opinion of the village and the murderer...you can't just let it go.
At least Scorpio feels that everything before his eyes is very magical.
He even thought these people were crazy.
But at the same time, I felt the meaning of "alliance" for the first time.
It's not just 'non-aggression'.
It's not just lip service to 'collaboration' either.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you go in?"
Seeing the red-haired handsome boy just standing there in a daze, Yu Yue couldn't help but frown.
Scorpion: "What can I do?"
Yu Yue: "You should at least prepare in advance, just in case you are needed?"
"Your deft hands, superb skills, and understanding of the human body, what if they come in handy at a critical moment?"
Yu Yue actually knew that there was no necessary connection between puppeteers and midwifery.
But in the ninja world, things cannot be viewed according to common sense. Who knows if there will be any miraculous effects?
scorpion:……
Okay, you're right, you have a point.
He also went
Prepare for disinfection.
Whether you need to use your own...
Everyone in Konoha came to rescue us.
As a member of the Sand Village, he can't just not have an attitude.
The delivery room in the Sand Village has very good soundproofing. A group of people went in there for a long time and had no idea what was going on inside.
Yu Yue had seen countless ups and downs in the business world, but this was the first time she had seen a pregnant woman survive - in the past, she had only seen pregnant women, and people who had returned from pregnancy and childbirth.
The former gives vacation, and the latter gives gifts.
The only thing she has no knowledge about is pregnant women who are giving birth.
But there are things she can do.
For example, looking for someone.
For example, throwing money.
"You can ask the doctor what the mother will need after giving birth, or if there are any particularly important medicines that you don't have, and find a way to buy them."
She said to the Sand Village ninja beside her.
"this……"
"I'll pay, go!"
“Yes, yes!”
The ninja was startled by her voice and aura and hurried away.
"Ms. Ugetsu."
Uchiha Shisui returned to her with hot water.
"Please take a rest first."
He handed her the bottle of hot water in his hand.
"Um……"
Knowing that there was no point in overthinking, Yu Yue pinched the bridge of her nose and sat down.
She had done all she could.
Next, it’s up to them.
No, there's something else too.
"Shisui, remember to remind me to talk to the Third Kazekage and ask them to upgrade the infrastructure."
“Especially hospitals.”
She never wanted to suddenly be frightened and worried that someone might just die!
"I see."
As if worried about startling her, Uchiha Shisui responded in a soft voice.
After a while, he suddenly spoke:
"Ms. Ugetsu."
"What?"
Ugetsu responded listlessly.
"You are really amazing." The young man said very seriously, "Really."
"Let's wait until mother and child are safe before talking about this kind of thing."
Yu Yue doesn't think she is anything special.
If she is really amazing, she shouldn't
If I do biu, will mother and child be safe?
After all, she didn't know anything, so she could only call the medical ninjas from both ninja villages to brainstorm and increase the possibility of success.
“…This is already remarkable.”
Ninjas are not just cruel and cold-blooded, they just have many concerns due to their identity or position.
But life is such a fragile existence.
Many times, just because of hesitation and delay, a life is lost.
Is there really nothing we can do?
not necessarily.
Is it really necessary to die?
Not necessarily.
It's just that they dare not cross that line.
Don't dare to take the responsibility of breaking the rules.
Uchiha Shisui would not accuse these people of being cold-blooded or anything like that.
After all, he himself grew up in such an environment.
Uchiha rules, Konoha rules.
This is what he must abide by as an Uchiha and a Konoha ninja.
Just on top of that.
He respected and admired Miss Yu Yue who dared to break all this and chose to save people.
It's like a ray of light.
No fear of darkness, no fear of desolation.
It just appeared straight before my eyes.
In the delivery room, Chiyo, who was undergoing emergency treatment, asked someone to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Although a long time had passed, the medical ninjutsu in her hands never stopped for a moment.
She raised her eyes and saw that the medical ninja from Konoha was also trying his best.
Even though his face was pale, he never wavered in the slightest.
In previous cooperation and confrontation, she was actually very afraid of this woman who was as cunning as a fox.
Although both are medical ninjas, this woman is completely different from Tsunade in terms of difficulty.
Tsunade is straightforward and relies entirely on her great strength to solve problems.
Whether it was a fight of force or poison, she relied on her own powerful strength to solve it.
But the woman in front of him was different.
She is like a fox watching from the dark, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.
Not from the front, but from all angles, using a variety of methods to ultimately achieve your goal.
You never know how and from what angle she will solve the problem in the next second.
I don't know
How much she knew.
Everything is hidden in the eyes behind those round glasses and that innocent smile.
Therefore, she judged that the other party was cold and smooth, would never be involved in any dangerous things, and was a person who knew how to protect himself.
However, at this moment, she obeyed Lord Yu Yue's order and stood here.
Not only that, it's like leaving everything behind and giving it your all.
And there is Orochimaru.
The contender for the title of the Fourth Hokage was actually here to save a stranger from the Sand Village.
Looking at the man standing at the medicine dispensing table and operating with meticulous movements, Chiyo's expression, which had been gloomy and solemn since she came in, softened slightly.
"Karura, you have to work hard too."
She looked at the woman in front of her, whose face was as pale as paper. She was so painful that she couldn't speak.
I can only use the last bit of my energy to stay awake.
This is the result of the hard work of two ninja villages, and everyone is doing their best for you.
Chiyo collected her thoughts.
Completely abandoned the previous dangerous method.
For problems that can be solved by humans, don't think about monsters that shouldn't be touched.
At this moment, someone from the medicine dispensing team shouted, "Master Chiyo, here is the medicine you requested."
"good!"
"Wire……"
“Here!”
Another assistant quickly handed over the line.
When Chiyo touched it, she found that it was not her original thread.
"It was given to me by Lord Scorpion."
Chiyo turned her head sharply and noticed a red hair sticking out from a corner of the preparation room.
She suddenly gained confidence.
Believe they will not fail.
"Karula, wake up Karula! We will definitely let you and your child survive!"
I don’t know how long it took.
The thermos in Yu Yue's hand had grown cold.
Even her fingertips began to grow cold.
"Ms. Yu Yue, please go back first."
Uchiha Shisui, noticing that her expression was beginning to look grim, whispered advice.
Of course he knew that Miss Yu Yue wanted to know the result.
But if this goes on, Miss Yu Yue, who is already weak, might fall ill first, and that would be more trouble than gain.
"It's okay, I'll..."
Click.
The door that had been closed for a long time finally opened.
Chiyo came out, exhausted and almost exhausted.
She looked up, and a bright smile appeared on her wrinkled face:
"Both mother and child are safe."
Mother and child are both safe. These four simple words warmed the hearts of everyone present.
This was truly the best news they had heard today.
As soon as the mind relaxes, fatigue and exhaustion come over you.
Yu Yue's eyelids began to droop before she could even yawn.
"Please rest assured."
I seemed to hear someone's gentle voice in the haze.
"I'll take you back."
Perhaps it is this gentle and familiar voice that makes people feel extremely at ease.
Ugetsu closed her eyes.
For Rasa, the changes in the Sand Village were so fast that he was at a loss as to what to do.
There have never been so many employers, and making money has never been so easy.
Sometimes he even felt that the bloody days of the past few decades were like a dream.
Until there is a normal mission commission to enter the Sand Village.
He finally extricated himself from this half-truth, half-lieutenancy, half-sleep, half-wakefulness state.
Yes, this is the life a ninja should have.
He broke another robber's neck.
Luo Sha nodded affirmatively in his heart.
But to be honest.
Actually, he still wanted to go back.
Although the new work in the village is troublesome and busy, apart from being tired, most people are smiling.
Unlike in the past, looking around, there are very few people outside in the entire village.
Now there are tourists everywhere and busy companions everywhere.
The complaints we occasionally hear are not that sincere.
At least Luo Sha believed that if someone believed and said, "Then you don't have to do it anymore, just wait for the task like before," he would definitely be beaten.
Instead of earning money right at home, you want me to live the hard life I had before?
Do you have a grudge against me?
Even Luo Sha himself.
If someone told him now that his life was better as it was before, he would... not agree.
It's true that he himself is not used to this kind of life.
But his wife
Children can grow up in a better and safer environment.
There is no need to worry about being forced to fight on the battlefield before you grow up.
No need to worry that we will be separated forever the next time you go out.
In addition, the generous profits can also allow the children to live a rich life. They can eat whatever they want and buy whatever they want like children outside.
Even just for this reason, he couldn't say "no".
And they will take the initiative to maintain this kind of life, hoping that it will continue.
Instead of being a flash in the pan, it gives everyone new hope only to be beaten back to square one again.
Fortunately, the mission is about to end.
Luo Sha, like his companions, was eager to return home.
However, what he never expected was that as soon as he stepped into the village, he heard the sad news that his wife had a difficult childbirth.
Luo Sha's eyes suddenly went dark, as if he didn't even have the strength to rush back home.
"…But with the help of Chiyo-sama and the two lords of Konoha, both mother and child are safe and will be discharged soon!"
——Can you please stop panting when you speak?!
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Luo Sha felt like he was alive again.
He was really going to be tortured to death by this guy's method of reporting the news!
"I'll talk to you later."
Wife and children are more important.
Luo Sha gave up the idea of ​​lecturing him and went straight to the hospital.
"Karura——"
After finding out which ward his wife was in, he rushed in.
Scenes of his wife lying pale and weak on the hospital bed waiting for him appeared again and again in Luo Sha's mind.
Damn it, why did it have to be at this time?
How much does Karu need...
"Ah, dear, you're back."
However, unlike what one might have imagined, Karula was sitting on the bed holding the child.
Lord Chiyo was sitting next to him, and seemed to be asking something.
I.
The words that I hadn't finished thinking about before finally came to an end.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that he is not so needed?
"Chiyo-sama."
"Really? Leaving your pregnant wife behind is not the right thing for a good man to do."
Chiyo shook her head before standing up and making room.
"Okay, I've asked enough questions, so I won't bother you anymore.
"
"Chiyo-sama!"
Recalling the words of the ninja who had informed him earlier, Luo Sha came to his senses and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you so much, I really..."
"You should save your words of thanks for expressing them to everyone in Konoha."
Chiyo waved her hand.
"Huh?"
Luo Sha was stunned.
Why is there also the matter of Lord Ugetsu and the Konoha ninjas?
"Why, you don't believe it?"
Chiyo raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, it's just ..."
"It's okay. Even I, who experienced it myself, still find it incredible."
When she mentioned this matter again, she still felt deeply moved.
"If it weren't for Ugetsu-sama's prompt decision, and the help of Yakushi Nono and Orochimaru, it's hard to say what the outcome would have been - anyway, you have to thank them."
"It was Lord Ugetsu who asked Lord Yakushi and Lord Orochimaru to rescue me."
Karula also affirmed Chiyo's words. She smiled and stroked the child's tender cheek beside the bed.
"This child and I are really lucky."
“Is that so…?”
Luo Sha was still immersed in shock and had not recovered.
"Yes, now is a really good time."
Chiyo said as people started to walk out.
"Just pretend I never said that."
As they passed each other, she lowered her voice.
"Huh?"
Luo Sha didn't react at first, but soon realized what topic she was talking about.
"Since there is a solution that can be accomplished by human power, then the power of monsters is no longer necessary."
She walked to the door.
“A new way of life, with new methods.”
The old man, who always did whatever he thought of, opened the door and walked out with brisk steps.
"What new way?"
Karuru tilted his head curiously.
"...No, nothing."
Luo Sha shook his head.
Let the past be buried in the past.
"By the way, the child's name..."
"Ah, I want to be called 'Gaara', what do you think?"
Woman holding with loving eyes
Wake up the child from the bed.
"…It's the fruit of our love."
"Same as Temari and Kankuro."
After hearing this, Luo Sha felt completely soft-hearted.
Even though he was not an extroverted person, he raised his hands and hugged his wife and children.
"What a nice name."
That's right.
This child is the fruit of their love.
And from now on, I will surely grow up in an environment full of love and laughter.
The fact that the Konoha ninja took the initiative to attack the Sand Village made Shiranui Genma nervous for several days.
Although it was a good thing, he was also very happy that the mother and child were safe in the end, and they did not lose anyone when welcoming the new life, but it was the Sand Village's business after all.
He was actually quite worried about Miss Ugetsuki who gave this order.
The situation on the Sand Village side is easier to deal with. After all, they are the beneficiaries and have such a close connection with Miss Ugetsu.
No matter what, I can't let you down at this time.
It’s mainly about Konoha.
After all, once Miss Yu Yue said this, it meant that all the responsibility was on her. If someone really made a fuss about this matter, the result would be hard to predict.
Genma Shiranui was anxious and a little disappointed - if only he could be of some help at this time.
At least we shouldn't be left alone and anxious like we are now.
However, what he worried about did not happen.
Both the Sand Village and Konoha were calm and peaceful.
People are all busy.
It was as if what happened that day had never happened.
If there is any difference, it is that Miss Ugetsuki has become busier, and... her status in the Sand Village has become visibly higher.
The most direct manifestation was that Miss Ugetsu was actually invited to negotiate with the envoys sent by the daimyo.
When he heard the news, Genma Shiranui was shocked.
However, apart from him, both Yakushi Nono and Lord Orochimaru were doing their work calmly.
As if this was the most normal thing.
He finally couldn't help it:
"Lord Orochimaru, aren't you worried?"
Orochimaru was in a good mood today, so he responded with good temper.
"What are you worried about?"
"It's Miss Yu Yue who actually
Go discuss this matter with the envoys from the Kingdom of Wind."
"Oh, I know, so what's wrong?"
Orochimaru couldn't quite grasp his point.
Rather, he had vaguely guessed that this day would come when she made such a big fuss.
After all, Miss Yu Yue has never concealed her ambition to expand her business worldwide.
If you have such thoughts, then isn't it normal to discuss with the nobles and envoys of the daimyo?
"They are the envoys of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind. I hope nothing will happen to them."
Even though the Wind Country is relatively weak among the five major countries, it is still a great country.
Is it really okay for Miss Yu Yue to leave like this?
"Ms. Yu Yue is much more powerful than you think."
"Just wait for the results."
Orochimaru felt that Genma Shiranui's worry was unnecessary - just like a Genin worrying that the Kage would get injured in a C-rank mission.
"You should worry about yourself instead."
"Myself?"
"Maybe today will be the day you can finally be free."
Orochimaru smiled.
——Based on his understanding of that 'Miss Ugetsu'.
After this meeting, I'm afraid everyone's busier level will increase by at least one level.
Shiranui Genma: ???
I'm confused.
On the other hand, the negotiations between Ugetsu, the Third Kazekage, and the envoys from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind have almost reached a fever pitch.
"This is a good idea from the Sand Village."
The envoy sent by the Daimyo of the Wind Country first affirmed the plan that Ugetsu had given them before.
"But this way, our expenses will be too high."
As the messenger spoke, his eyes were directed straight at Yu Yue.
This is not the first day he has come into contact with the Sand Village.
Of course, we know that given their situation, they would never think of such an idea.
Considering that the start of this event was also the "Dream Bag" from the Ugetsu Store.
It is crystal clear whose idea it is.
Facing the messenger's sharp, probing gaze, Yu Yue looked back at him with a straight gaze, while slightly lowering her chin, showing her confidence.
"How can I say that much? As long as it can be operated, whether it is human or material resources, it can run smoothly.
All the work that needs to be done in the village will be put on a new path. At that time, both people and resources can be in place at the fastest speed. Timeliness and safety can be guaranteed. Isn't this a revolutionary change for the Wind Country?"
"And with so much income, you only need to pay for the initial investment and some subsequent maintenance costs. If you ask me, Daimyo is still the one who makes the most money."
Yu Yue put all the benefits in front of them.
In this era without PPT, we can only put visible benefits in front of people to attract them.
Damn, this era is still too backward.
If I had a computer and software, I could have a set of beautiful PPTs and charts, which would save me a lot of trouble.
"We understand what you said, but so what? The current price is unreasonable - after all, Sand Village has no other place to accept these except cooperating with us."
The messenger also kept his composure.
As soon as he said this, the Third Kazekage's expression turned unhappy.
Because the messenger was right.
Things like "desert ships" are, in the final analysis, tools for adapting to the desert.
If you put it somewhere else, the functionality won't be greatly reduced, but it's almost the same.
Don’t be fooled by the large number of orders from nobles outside now.
But how long will they remain ?
Five years? Ten years?
If they are no longer interested by then, what will happen to him and the Sand Village?
Although other products can be sold.
But over time, it may be difficult to guarantee uniqueness.
What will happen to the Sand Village then?
Therefore, if we want stability, we still have to cooperate with the Wind Country.
He even felt a little shaken - otherwise, just lower the price.
Anyway, there is still some profit even if the price is lowered.
"You are joking."
Yu Yue said without changing his expression.
"The price we are offering now is a bargain for the sake of our family."
"You can ask the nobles what the price of the 'Desert Star' we sell to the public is."
——Can it be the same?
Don't think they don't know that the Desert Star is a luxury model specially designed for the nobility.
Can that be the same as the desert ship which is an ordinary means of transportation?
And asking the price - who would be so tactless as to ask, "Hey, how much did you pay for the Desert Star?"
Ah, they still have some shame.
They want to buy it themselves, but after asking so many questions, doesn't it seem like they are short of money and are weighing the pros and cons?
"The Sand Village is a ninja village in the Land of Wind. How could they possibly harm you? Am I right?"
"Even though the funds are always insufficient, the ninjas of the Sand Village have never complained."
The messenger couldn't hold his expression anymore.
They wanted to cut other people’s budget before, and now they want to lower the price when they have good products.
——Even if it’s a famous name, it’s hard to justify it.
"The things that the Sand Village has developed now are also for themselves and the Wind Country. They are the heroes—"
Shouldn't there be some expression?
The messenger's face twitched.
That's true.
But anyway, it is a way out.
If you take into account the 'reward' given by the Kingdom of Wind, then the price is indeed not that high.
As a "reward", Daming can also gain a good reputation of "having a good eye for talent".
"…We'll consider it."
"You are such a generous man."
Ugetsu said, waving to Yashamaru next to him.
Yashamaru immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Dear guests, thank you for your hard work. Please follow me to have a rest. By the way, please leave your valuable comments for our project."
After a combination of soft and hard tactics, the diplomatic envoys were left speechless.
After the envoys left, Ugetsu looked at the Third Kazekage:
"See? Just talk about it like this."
"You have exclusive technology, so you don't need to worry about getting into trouble if you take a tough stance."
There was a crack in the Third Kazekage's cold and stern expression.
“Would it be better if the price was lowered?”
Ugetsu responded indifferently.
"not good."
"You lowered the price this time, and they took control of it. There will be more such cases in the future."
"No matter whether you are making money or not, they will force you to lower your prices. Once you relax, it will be difficult to sell other products at a higher price."
The bottom line is that it can be raised and lowered flexibly.
That's not the bottom line.
"Also... we are really overwhelmed with so many jobs."
Yu Yue wanted to sigh even more.
"The Third Kazekage-sama."
Although she used the word "adult"
Although this was a respectful title, the Third Kazekage could hear the tone of his teacher when he was instructing him.
"Didn't I tell you? There are still many ninjas in the world. You have to learn how to outsource."
"Hasn't your use of Konoha and Iwagakure ninjas during this period of time made you realize the benefits of outsourcing?"
"We're worried that they'll be dangerous if they run around in the village, so we'll open up a special area - called the 'Sagakure Village Development Zone', and we can gather people here to work."
"In a short period of time, we can recruit some ninjas from other villages. Over time, we can bring in some ordinary people to work and live here for a long time."
The main problem now is the heavy workload and tight tasks.
Hiring ninjas to do the work is the most cost-effective.
Ordinary people may not be willing to come.
Secondly, the living area has not been well established, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to live here.
When the ninjas arrived, they solved all the previous problems and traffic became smooth.
It will be much easier to attract people later.
"When the time comes, put as much outsourced work as possible here, and settle by task or by day, right?"
"Also, with so many merchants coming and going to place orders, the transportation and security issues also require manpower, right?"
"Wouldn't it be better to directly entrust the people in your village to various ninja villages and let them send people to pick us up instead of sending people out?"
Although Ugetsu's journey from Konoha to the Sand Village was easy and pleasant, the actual escort work and the merchants' business trips were hard work.
Sleeping in the open air is commonplace. Not only do we have to cross mountains and rivers, but we also have to face various emergencies.
No one can rest well in this environment.
Of course, the most important thing is that it takes too much time and manpower.
Instead of spending manpower on these things, it would be better to take on more work in the village.
Yu Yue advised earnestly: "Don't waste your time and energy on things that are not cost-effective."
The Third Kazekage: ...
What she said made so much sense that it was impossible to refute it.
Originally, the Third Kazekage thought that it was already unusual for him to ask Konoha's ninjas to be responsible for the raw materials.
But now let’s look at it.
This is a start at best.
——The Tsuchikage, who had been looking forward to intelligence about his own ninja, finally got the information he had been waiting for.
He couldn't wait to open it and read it, and his expression turned blue and purple.
I feel totally unwell. !
