The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

Many times the key to a problem is not to find the answer, but to find the key question.

And Gaara found the key problem.

"How to get Konoha to agree?" Gaara asked.

Shaz lay down on the back of the chair and nodded slightly, indicating that you are still smart.

"What Konoha is worried about is nothing more than the treachery of your Sunagakure Village and its attack on Konoha again after it grows in strength. After all, you just tore up an alliance contract not long ago. You can't be too careful against people with criminal records, right?" Shaz? asked.

Gaara quickly nodded in agreement, he didn't seem to have any objections to this aspect.

"What suggestions do you have?" Gaara asked.

"It's very simple, as long as your Sunagakure Village and Konoha establish a stronger and more substantial alliance than that piece of waste paper, and let Konoha believe that you will not betray your trust."

Gaara: "For example?"

"For example..." Shaz thought for a moment: "Do you have a Konoha girl you like? A guy is fine too."

Marriage?

Kakashi and Gaara's eyes twitched at the same time, what a bad idea you have!

It is useless to marry commoners, but to marry people from a big family, the big family will definitely not agree to it even if it is to protect the blood line of the family.

"I quite like you."

Everyone was stunned.

Shaz:? ? ?

"Can you be more serious?"

Bang!

Gaara slammed the table: "Then you should be more serious! If you still want to make money!"

Shaz shook his head: "You misunderstood. What I mean by seriousness is that you should be serious when you confess."

Crowd: ...

"Ahem, you'd better find a more reliable plan."

Kakashi couldn't help but advise loudly.

If the excitement continues like this, they might not be able to return to Konoha!

"Then let me tell you something more reliable. Just reduce the number of ninjas."

As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became stagnant.

Kakashi looked at Shaz with wide eyes: You call this reliable? !

"You...do you want me to kill them?" Gaara looked at Shaz coldly, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

"I didn't say that. If you're going to do that, then I feel really sad for your intelligence."

Although the words were sarcastic, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed...a little bit.

"I have a construction company in Konoha. Its main business is to help Konoha build new houses and demolish old ones."

"There is a shortage of workers right now. How about you send a thousand ninjas to help me work? As for the salary... it will be settled according to the salary of ordinary workers?"

Gaara:? ? ?

Does this have anything to do with the topic we are discussing?

"Not at all." Gaara shook his head: "Suna Ninja is not a slave, and you don't want to think of Suna Ninja as a slave!"

"Why don't you understand?"

Shaz looked heartbroken, heartbroken for Gaara's intelligence.

"Think about it, if the Senba ninjas go to work in Konoha, and those workers are all on construction sites, which is very convenient to manage, won't the number of ninjas in your Sand Ninja Village decrease? Can't Konoha treat you not worried?"

"Besides, does your Sand Ninja Village have enough tasks for them to do? Although the salary I give is small, it is at least enough for them to support their families. It is better than letting them starve to death without a job, right?"

Hit the mark, kill with one blow!

Gaara was silent, even the two old guys were silent.

In fact, Shaz said it very euphemistically. What is convenient for management is actually convenient for monitoring.

"Then we don't need to give you a free advantage, right? According to you, we only need to transfer some ninjas away from Sunagakure Village." Kankuro said suddenly.

Everyone immediately looked at Shaz, just in time to see Shaz's mocking smile.

"Haha, Konoha will feel relieved about a Sand Ninja army that is not under any control of Konoha?"

"Besides, where are you going to transfer people? Transferring them to the border is equivalent to declaring war, transferring them to the desert is equivalent to exile, and transferring them to the territory of the Fire Country... haha."

Gaara remained silent, thinking quietly.

"Maybe... we can plant trees ourselves?" Temari suddenly suggested.

clap clap ~

Shaz immediately applauded.

"Plant trees directly in the center of the desert. If you succeed, please tell me and I will give you a bonus in recognition of your epic feat!"

Afforestation requires a basic approach, generally progressing from grassland to wasteland to Gobi and finally to desert, and improving the environment little by little over time.

Planting trees directly in the center of the desert, even if it is irrigated with water, would not be exhausting given the speed of water seepage in the sand.

Even if the moisture is obtained, after planting in the morning, a gust of wind will blow in the evening and they will be buried clean.

Only the unreasonable ninjutsu like Wood Release can ripen a large tree in an instant, blocking the wind and sand with its lush branches and leaves, and fixing the sand with its huge root system, as well as the huge vitality of the tree itself and its deep enough root system. Guaranteed to survive.

"Temari, go get some juice." Gaara suddenly arranged.

Temari came to her senses, gave Shaz a complicated look, and went to get the juice.

"How do you ensure the safety of Suna Ninja in Konoha and... no discrimination?" Gaara asked.

There is a door!

"This is simple." Shaz straightened his thoughts: "There will be no Konoha residents or ninjas within the construction site, and Suna Ninja... Konoha will not let them run around, so there is no need to worry about them being discriminated against."

"As for safety...with all due respect, let alone Konoha not willing to give up such a good cheap labor force, even if Konoha is willing to give up, I won't be willing to give up!"

Gaara: ...

Heartbroken!

Just then, Temari came back with a large can of juice.

"How do you guarantee that you won't exploit or abuse them?" Temari asked.

"Well, it depends on how you define oppression and abuse."

Shaz took the juice and refilled it for himself, and also refilled it for Kakashi, and poured another glass for Fatty.

"Heavy work is certain. Neither Konoha nor I will trust a group of energetic Suna ninjas. We will only rest assured if they fall asleep tiredly after a day's work and have no energy to think about anything else."

"And if the abuse you are talking about means beating and scolding, then there is no need to worry. The other people on the construction site are ordinary people, and they don't have the courage. I will not hire Konoha ninjas, they are too expensive."

Gaara: ...

More worrying!

The air was eerily quiet for a moment.

Looking at the struggling faces of everyone in the rainy weather, Shaz knew that this matter was about to... go wrong!

cough cough.

Shaz coughed twice to wake everyone up.

"Well, let me put it in a way that is more acceptable to you and raise the price."

Gaara: ...

It’s easier for us to accept Shente Miao’s price increase!

"Say!" Gaara forced out a sentence through his teeth.

"It's still this protective forest. I'm quoting 80 billion now. You definitely can't afford it, right?" Shaz asked.

Gaara nodded grimly.

"Out of the consensus among the alliances to help each other, I can allow you to pay 50 billion of it in gold of equivalent value, and the other 30 billion... to pay off the debt with work."

Everyone: "Paying debt with work???"

what is that?

Gaara was confused.
