The sky is clear today.
Riding on the Zuzo Nenghu, looking down, the entire Sand Hidden Village stands like a human treasure in the wind and sand in this barren desert.
Occasionally, a few or a few green cacti grow together, becoming a rare green landscape among the undulating sand dunes.
The beautiful scenery can be taken in as far as the eye can see.
"This place is really the complete opposite of the ocean."
Ino stood next to Bai Yu and couldn't help but sigh after taking in the scenery in front of her.
“There are always pros and cons to everything.”
Bai Yu explained with a smile:
"Although the living conditions in Sunagakure Village seem to be difficult, the people here still use their intelligence and talents to ignite the flame of human civilization."
"It's not easy!" Kurotsuchi sighed softly: "Although our Yanyin Village is also poor, the conditions are far less difficult than those in Sand Hidden Village."
Naruto clicked his tongue and said:
"I've never seen the ocean before!"
However, what Bai Yu just said made Naruto and others fall into thinking and keep chewing on it.
Naruto sighed inwardly.
He is indeed the big brother he recognizes.
Speaking means being literate!
"Naruto, you are now a genin. When you come to Uchiha Ninja Village to perform your mission, I will take you to see the center of the sea, but this time, I can take you to see the sea!"
Bai Yu then smiled and said:
"Sunagakure's conditions are a little more difficult, but once they adapt, the torture caused by this suffering will be much less."
"Really?"
"Well, I have never lied to you!" Bai Yu really didn't think he was a master of cake painting.
"That would be great!"
When Naruto saw Bai Yu promising himself, he was so happy that he jumped up in the middle of Xuzuo Nohu without any symptoms of fear of heights.
Ino asked: "Hey, the weather has been so good these days, let's take a walk around Sunagakure at night and appreciate the customs and customs of Sunagakure!"
"This is no problem."
Bai Yu smiled and said, "But I have to leave something with you."
Said.
Bai Yu raised his right hand, and the Flying Thunder God's mark appeared in the palm of his hand, leaving a mark on Naruto, Ino, and Kurotsuchi.
This is also to prevent accidents in the near future.
who knows.
Will Payne take this opportunity to capture the Kyuubi? However, there is a high probability that it will not happen, but it is still necessary to take precautions in advance.
"Then Bai Yu, where are we going now?"
Kurotsuchi asked with a smile.
"Take you to the Uchiha!"
"Ah, Uchiha?" Naruto suddenly smiled and said: "Isn't this place very far from Uchiha? If I don't go to Uchiha, can I see Zuosuke?"
As expected, this guy still misses Zuosuke.
Bai Yu added: "It's to go to Uchiha's property in Sunagakure!"
With that said, after Sunao moved at high speed in the sky, they arrived at a large desert area to the south of Sunagakure, surrounded by a steel mesh.
…
…
Sunagakure Information Liaison Center.
Jiraiya, Kakashi, Onoki, Raikage, and the elders of the three great ninja villages each borrowed Sunagakure's liaison eagle to pass information to their ninja villages.
Mainly inform the Ninja Village, send the first payment of the purchase of Ninja Tools to Uchiha, and then start to form their own special forces.
Having these ninja tools can bring the strength of a large number of ninjas to a higher level. This kind of resources must be jointly arranged.
Several people took care of things.
Let’s meet and return to the Wind Shadow Building together.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I saw you were shocked when you saw the lightsaber before. Now that we have all purchased this kind of ninja, there is no information gap. Can you tell us the reason?" Raikage Ai looked curious. With a serious expression on his face, he looked at Ohnoki.
"Ha..." Ohnoki smiled, then glanced at Jiraiya who was silent. Seeing that the other person had nothing to say, he immediately joked: "You should ask Hokage-sama about this!"
The Raikage immediately looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya said with disdain in his heart: "It's really despicable. You know that Konoha feels sad about this matter, but you still want me to untie this scar by myself."
"This is not a secret that cannot be told." Jiraiya said calmly: "The weapons produced by Uchiha came from our Konoha, and the first time this kind of weapon appeared in the ninja world was made by the second generation Hokage. Created by a thousand hands."
Raikage suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, this is equivalent to the weapon used by the second generation Hokage? No wonder...no wonder..."
Raikage was extremely shocked.
At the same time, I also saw an unhappy expression on Jiraiya's face.
Who can leave this kind of thing alone?
No one is happy.
Who can be happy when their own technology is carried forward by other ninja villages?
But no matter how unhappy Jiraiya was, it was of no use. Instead, he could only comfort himself in his heart. After all, this weapon came from Konoha.
While chatting, everyone returned to the Wind Shadow Building and their respective reception areas.
Bai Yu does not exist.
Jiraiya, Onoki, and Raikage found that the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.
Basically he won't take the initiative to talk to the other party.
When Lei Ying got along with these old guys, he suddenly felt that the grudge he had with Bai Yu over the fishing ground was nothing at all.
Take Ohnoki for example.
During the Third Ninja War, Ai's old father, the Sandaime Raikage, was beaten to death by tens of thousands of ninjas from Iwagakure.
This is a real revenge for killing his father.
Furthermore, it was the Third Ninja War. When Ai and Hibi first debuted, they were suppressed by Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
This level of hatred.
It's not comparable to the petty fight between Kumogakure and Uchiha now.
Didn't think that much.
Although today's alliance.
Ai didn't want to spend more time with these guys. Compared to Onoki and Jiraiya, when he met Bai Yu, he felt like he was meeting his own brothers.
After Raikage had finished handling all the matters he had to deal with in Sunagakure, he immediately wanted to return to Kumogakure to make the next strategic deployment against the Akatsuki organization.
The same is true for Onoki. Last night, he discussed with Kurotsuchi that he would return to Iwagakure, and once again confirmed with the other party whether he would follow him back to Iwagakure.
The black soil finally came out.
Of course I don't want to go back.
Ohnoki followed the previous agreement with his granddaughter, and specifically told Bai Yu that since Kurotsuchi still wanted to live in Uchiha for a while, please take care of him.
Under the prompts from Kurotsuchi's eyes, Bai Yu agreed simply and neatly. When he left Sunagakure this time, he would first send Kurotsuchi to Uchiha.
Only Jiraiya was left in the entire guest house, and Kakashi and he were summoned to the bedroom.
"Sir, won't you pack your things?"
Kakashi originally wanted to go back to the bedroom to pack his things, wait for Bai Yu to come back with Naruto, and then follow Jiraiya back to Konoha.
When he was suddenly summoned, Kakashi smelled something was wrong.
It was not easy for him to have a rest day.
I was still thinking about waiting for Granny Chiyo's funeral to be over, and then returning to Konoha to have a good rest.
"Come on Kakashi, you sit on the bed!" Jiraiya pulled out a chair from under the desk, sat on the side and looked at him.
Kakashi scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled: "No, sir, I will just stand for a while."
For the sudden politeness.
He was a little flattered.
"That's okay." Jiraiya looked at Kakashi, his tone was a little majestic, and he said seriously: "Kakashi, what direction do you think our Konoha should develop in the future?"
Kakashi's heart trembled, and he raised his brows and laughed loudly: "This... Sir, you can just make the decision. There is no need to ask about a small role like me."
"No, Kakashi, be serious, you are Konoha's elite jounin."
"yes!"
Kakashi immediately straightened his back and replied seriously: "I think that based on the current situation in the ninja world, Konoha should continue to remain neutral in dealing with conflicts between other ninja villages and fully support the fight against the Akatsuki organization."
After Kakashi finished speaking, his heart suddenly became entangled, and countless thoughts emerged in his heart.
If Jiraiya-sama suddenly wants to pass on the position of Hokage to me, how should I refuse?
What a headache!
"That's what it looks like."
Jiraiya nodded happily and sighed softly: "I am Minato's master, and you are Minato's disciple. I do take care of you a lot on weekdays, so..."
Talk about this.
Kakashi swallowed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, praying in his heart, don't entrust him with the position of Hokage, he still felt that he was not qualified for this position.
"So, this time you will return to Konoha alone!"
"Um, you called me here just for this matter?" Kakashi thought about it seriously, and immediately realized something was wrong, so he said in a deep voice: "Are you planning to take Naruto and leave Konoha?"
"Well, it's just for this matter. Otherwise, do you think that I asked you to come here because I want to pass on the position of Hokage to you?"
"No no no."
After hearing this, Kakashi quickly shook his head guiltily and sighed inwardly, isn't it? He can see through himself?
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Jiraiya regained his serious expression again and warned: "This time you go back, I have only one task for you, and that is to destroy everything in Konoha, big or small, before I return to Konoha. It’s up to you to assist Shikaku-sama in handling everything.”
Kakashi said dumbfounded: "No, no, Lord Jiraiya..."
Although it is not to teach the position of Hokage.
But how could the smart Kakashi not have thought that Jiraiya wanted to train himself to become the next generation or the next generation of Hokage.
What a sin!
Then once he goes back, he will take up his post and stay in the village for who knows how long.
"Don't worry." Jiraiya smiled and said, "I will help you find a successor soon, two months at the latest, trust me."
Kakashi lamented: "Sir, before you come here, you can agree to give me a good vacation after you find those kidnapped colleagues!"
"Haha... Then didn't you use this holiday to come with us to say goodbye to Granny Chiyo?"
Kakashi: "..."
Jiraiya laughed and said: "Okay, after you return to Konoha, you will rest for two more days, and then report to Shikaku."
Kakashi knew that Jiraiya must have discussed this matter with the Hokage advisor and Shikaku. No matter what he chose, someone would eventually come forward to convince him.
"Okay, Jiraiya-sama, I'm really not strong enough to shoulder this burden."
Kakashi raised his hand and tapped his forehead.
"What's the point? You have to have dreams, Kakashi!" Jiraiya said with a smile: "In the ninja world, there are many guys younger than you who become shadows. Kakashi, you have the talent in this area. , after all, he is a student cultivated by Minato, okay, no more nonsense, you can go back, I will not leave here until tomorrow."
After Kakashi nodded, he returned to the room and started packing his things.
"Hokage?" Kakashi sighed softly. When he mentioned this position, the faces of his two closest partners appeared in his mind.
A person who keeps shouting that he wants to become Hokage.
One lingers around him, always comparing herself to him.
…
…
The land of wind.
Sand Hidden Village.
It is still spring in the ninja world now, and the hot sun is scorching the desert extremely hot at noon.
The southern area near the sea.
The yellow sand dunes here are endlessly undulating, and the dry air is almost breathless.
Being in this area is like walking in an ocean full of yellow sand. Every breath you take seems to inhale tiny gravels.
Bai Yu led everyone to the central area of the barbed wire fence, and finally found traces of a large iron convertible factory built by humans on the edge of the desert near the sea.
And near those large factories, desert towns where humans live have appeared.
"Bai Yu, is this the land you told us a long time ago that Uchiha owns in Sunagakure?"
Ino asked curiously as she looked at the town.
Kurotsuchi suddenly woke up.
When Bai Yu took her back to Uchiha, while sitting on the boat, he also looked at the Kingdom of Wind and mentioned that Sunagakure also had Uchiha territory.
Only Naruto was confused, but he could already see a piece of blue through the end of the desert plain in the distance, that was the sea!
Bai Yu really didn't lie to him.
"Well, this is the territory that was compensated for Sunagakure's defeat." Bai Yu glanced at the large Uchiha factory that had been completed and put into use, and smiled: "Let's go over and take a look!"
"good!"
The two girls and Naruto said excitedly in unison.
On the way.
Ino asked curiously: "Bai Yu, why would you build a town near the sea in a place like this?"
Bai Yu smiled and said: "On the one hand, it is to be able to build a Uchiha market channel in Sunagakure. After all, we do business in Sunagakure and need a logistics site."
"What about the other side?"
Kurotsuchi then asked.
"Only if the people of Sunagakure know that they can make money by following Uchiha." Bai Yu suddenly moved the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Next, they will not resist Uchiha's in-depth development of Sunagakure."
"What about?" Ino asked curiously.
They really feel that they can always learn different things from Bai Yu.
"For example, developing mineral resources."
Bai Yu led a few people towards the windy desert town in the west, and patiently explained:
"The energy weapon that Uchiha is making requires a special mineral resource. This kind of mineral has only been found in Sunagakure for the time being. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it can be found in other places."
"I got it." Ino said excitedly: "When it comes to doing business, you are better at it, Bai Yu. From now on, I will leave all the flower shops in Yamanaka to you to manage them!"
Bai Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "That will have to wait until I retire in the ninja world."
"no problem!"
Everyone arrived at the seaside town while chatting and felt the unique coastal style here.
Unlike Uchiha's seaside villages with resort-style scenery and pleasant climate, this place is full of industrial atmosphere.
