The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

"That's right, debts are paid for with work." Shaz nodded: "I hire them at the price of normal entrusted tasks."

"Because the construction site is not dangerous, it can only be regarded as the lowest D-level task."

Temari suddenly became anxious when she heard this, but Shaz told her to calm down.

"But considering that their boss, I am a black-hearted businessman, I will assign them heavy tasks, so the difficulty level has been raised to C level."

"And because they are working within Konoha, they will inevitably be monitored by Konoha, which will bring huge psychological pressure, so the difficulty rises to B level."

Temari nodded with satisfaction.

This is acceptable...it simply refers to the mission level.

"However~"

Shaz shook his head.

"Since debts are paid with work, most of the remuneration will be automatically deducted to repay the debts. Only a small part of what they actually receive is used to maintain their lives."

Temari x Gaara:…

"Is there any difference between this and the plan you just mentioned?" Temari asked.

"Ah~"

Shaz looked up and thought about it.

"The difference is... this plan is easier for you to accept psychologically, isn't it?"

Temari nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head when she came to her senses.

Unfortunately, it was already too late, her true inner thoughts had been exposed.

Shaz stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Gaara, if you agree to this plan, you can hold a village meeting after the ceremony and ask if there are any ninjas who are willing to humiliate themselves and contribute to the village for the village's century-old plan and bright future."

"But I have to make something clear in advance. The key to whether I can finally convince Konoha to agree is how many people you can mobilize."

"I'm going back to rest first. You can discuss it carefully and give me an answer before I leave."

After saying that, Shaz patted the fat raccoon who had been eating melon quietly, and then motioned to Kakashi.

Just as they were about to enter the house, Shaz suddenly stopped again.

"By the way, no matter what the deal is, I can cooperate with you in using Wood Escape when the ceremony begins. This can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from my friend."

Gaara looked at Shaz until Shaz's back disappeared.

…………

Back at the residence, or the embassy, ​​Kakashi followed Shaz closely and entered Shaz's room under the guidance of the waiter.

"What, you still want to sleep with me? I only have one bed here." Shaz threw the knife on the bed, took off his coat and threw it on the bed.

It's so hot!

You also need to consider sun protection when outside, and you must wear less clothing in the room.

Especially since this shabby room doesn’t even have air conditioning!

"So poor! The embassy is so simple." Shaz curled his lips in disdain.

"Maybe they'll be rich soon, if you really plant trees for them."

Kakashi leaned against the wall, seemingly not planning to sit down.

"Soon? Ten years? Twenty years? Or fifty years? You don't really think that Sand Hidden Village will prosper immediately after planting a protective forest, do you?" Shaz asked.

Kakashi tilted his head: "Isn't it?"

Shaz stretched out his index finger and drew several circles near his temple.

"Use your brain and think about it, what can they do with trees? Besides improving the living environment."

Kakashi fell into deep thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he... couldn't think of anything.

Farming? Then there must be soil! It's all sand here.

Population increase? How can we increase population if income and food supply are not increased?

As for the number and strength of ninjas, it is even more impossible to achieve based on the first two.

"In the final analysis, they are investing in the future, but with that batch of gold and that batch of cheap labor, Konoha will develop much faster than them!"

cough cough...

Kakashi coughed twice.

"They might hear what we're talking about now."

"Look what you said." Shaz rolled his eyes: "They can definitely hear it."

Kakashi:  …

Then you still say?

"So what if they hear it? Unless they want to remain weak, anyone who is motivated will choose to cooperate." Shaz is full of confidence in this: "Otherwise, they can only live in poverty and start a war when they have nothing to do, and then find that small countries are more powerful than others. They are still poor and no big country can defeat them.”

Kakashi:  …

You should be more careful with your words. If you really piss off the Suna ninja, it will be easier for them to talk, but the genin will suffer!

"But after hearing what you said... they will lower the price, especially..."

Kakashi didn't say it clearly, but Shaz knew that Kakashi was talking about workers.

"No, the resistance in the village is real, because the inherent concept is a win-win situation, and my plan is a win-win cooperation. If I want to convince them, I must let them see the practical feasibility." Shaz said.

Konoha is already stronger than Sunagakure Village, and now Konoha is helping Sunagakure Village develop, but as long as the benefits of each cooperation are guaranteed to be greater for Konoha than Sunagakure Village, then Konoha can also always be ahead.

And Sunagakure Village does not suffer. Although it is impossible for them to compete with Konoha after they develop, there are other ninja villages in the ninja world!

It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to change this kind of concept, especially for conservatives like the third generation and hardliners like the second generation. The possibility of persuading them without seeing tangible benefits is really too high. It’s slim.

On the other hand, it is easier to convince someone like Tsunade who is new to the job and wants to make a big show of her power. What a pity!

When Shaz thinks about this, he wants to slap himself on both ears. How much water did he have in his head before he even thought of bringing the second generation back to Konoha!

“The older people get, the less willing they are to change their ideas because those ideas are what they live by and are time-tested truths for them.”

Shaz sighed.

"Once the Suna Ninja agrees, I will have to set up something similar to a military order after I return, such as how many things will be built within a certain period of time. You will have to help me when the time comes, otherwise I may not be able to get it done."

Kakashi suddenly became happy: "Why should I help you?"

"This is a good deal with huge profits, and it will benefit Konoha without any harm...at least it won't happen in thirty years, and in thirty or forty years...you don't even have this little confidence in Konoha?" Shaz asked.

Kakashi shook his head: "It's true that you are a millionaire, but I don't get any benefits, so why do I have to go through so much trouble to help you?"

Schatz:…

Good guy, are you waiting for me here?

"Tell me how much you want." Shaz said angrily.

Kakashi's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons: "I don't want much, and I don't want gold anymore. Just give me 10% of your construction company's shares."

"This is impossible." Shaz immediately shook his head: "A 10% bonus is still about the same, and shares are impossible."

Kakashi thought for a while and thought it seemed possible.

"Deal, I'll go see how they are doing first, you have a good rest."

"Goodbye~"

After sending Kakashi away and closing the door, Shaz suddenly smiled evilly.

Isn’t it up to him to decide whether the construction company is profitable or not?

To be precise, it is the accounting method that has the final say!
