The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

Ever since he learned to fly with a sword, Shaz found that he was becoming more and more lazy to walk. He even refused to stand if he could lie down, and he would never lie down if he could lie down.

At this moment, Shaz was lying on the flying sword and flying all the way to the Sand Ninja Village.

While lying on his stomach, Shaz was thinking of words, thinking of how to insinuate Gaara into believing that the cannery was blown up by someone hired by Suna Ninja.

To be honest, it's definitely not possible. Shaz doesn't have any evidence, and Ibixi may not even have started interrogation yet.

"It seems that we still need to test Gaara's thoughts. If he has that intention, it will be easy to handle!"

Thinking of this, Shaz couldn't help but speed up again.

Flying all the way to the entrance of Sand Ninja Village, Shaz circled in the air several times under the scorching sun. As expected, someone came to greet him after a while.

After Shaz met Gaara, Gaara took Shaz to an underground warehouse without saying a word. There was a lot of gold in the warehouse.

"Tell me how much goods you brought, and I'll have someone load the gold for you right now." Gaara said.

Although he said that, since he had brought himself here, Shaz knew that he actually wanted to inspect the goods.

"I brought quite a lot of goods this time, but..."

"You want to increase the price?" Gaara frowned: "Tell me about it."

Schatz:…

Should I take advantage of the trend and increase the price?

After hesitating for less than a second, Shaz gave up the idea.

Canned trading is a long-term cooperation. The important thing is stability, not short-term profiteering. There is no need to sacrifice the future for temporary benefits.

"It's not a price increase, it's just that for a period of time in the future... it's estimated that I won't be able to supply you with goods for more than half a year," Shaz explained.

Gaara's frown deepened this time.

"You want to break the contract?" Gaara asked with a cold face.

"No, it's just that the production capacity is somewhat insufficient. I will find a way to restore some of the production lines first, but the output... well~" Shaz smacked his lips.

Restore production line?

"What happened to the production line?" Gaara asked confused.

"The factory was bombed."

"It was blown up..." Gaara nodded: "What?!"

"I said the cannery was bombed, it was blown to the ground, and all the production lines are now down!"

Gaara fell silent for a moment.

Looking at Gaara who was lost in thought, Shaz first took out the sealing scroll and took out all the cans for the ninjas on the side to count, and then returned to stand next to Gaara.

"The goods in my canning factory can be said to be exclusively for your Sand Ninja Village at this stage, but they were blown up... It seems that someone doesn't want us to cooperate!" Shaz pointed out. He said and sighed at the same time.

Gaara glanced at Shaz: "You mean Konoha?"

"Maybe." Shaz shrugged: "I have caught the people who did it. They are two traitorous ninjas. They are currently being interrogated. I don't know if anything can be found out."

"The interrogation of the traitorous ninja is in vain. They don't even know who the mission client is."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Shaz asked curiously.

"The tasks of rebel ninjas are all taken through the intermediary of the underground bounty organization. The intermediary will not tell their client."

"Isn't that simple? I can first find out where they took the mission, and then go and interrogate the bounty organization."

Gaara shook his head: "I personally advise you not to do this."

"why?"

"This is a rule. The major ninja villages will not take action against the bounty organization. The two go their own way and live in peace."

Shaz touched his chin and looked at Gaara playfully.

How come this guy has become so old-fashioned?

"Let me guess, there are big names from various countries behind the bounty organization, right?" Shaz asked.

Gaara said nothing and did not comment on Shaz's guess.

But in Schatz's view, that's little more than acquiescence.

"The production line will be restored as soon as possible. If necessary, I can make the decision for you to hire Suna Ninja Village ninjas at half price to protect the factory." Gaara changed the subject.

half price?

Very tempting!

"No need. If I hire your ninjas here, the Hokage will have to let me hire the same number of Konoha ninjas, and they will definitely be at full price." Shaz said helplessly.

Shaz was helpless, and Gaara also had a look of helplessness on his face.

The unemployment rate problem in Ninja is so serious that every village has to face this dilemma.

"It would be great if there was a new profession that only ninjas could hold." Gaara sighed.

Shaz didn't answer. He knew that Gaara was not asking him, but himself.

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this self-question.

After all, Ninja Village is a military district, and ninjas are soldiers.

But Ninja Village violated the iron law that the military is not allowed to do business from the very beginning. No, it is not considered doing business. They are working as mercenaries to make extra money.

Although extra money allows Ninja Village to supplement family income to a certain extent, extra money is only extra money after all. It can only improve life, but cannot maintain it. If you really want to survive and live well, you still have to rely on military expenses.

Moreover, the ninjas who make extra money occupy the jobs of ordinary people.

The existence of ninjas is very strange. Although they are powerful, they have nothing special about them.

The work that ninjas do is completely competent for ordinary people, and the jobs of ninjas are completely stolen from ordinary people.

From searching for lost objects to conquering cities and plundering territory, which one is impossible for ordinary people to accomplish?

There are even some aspects that ordinary people can do better, such as some technical projects.

Of course, ninjas don't usually do those jobs.

In general, Ninja Village met all the conditions for establishing a small country, but it strangely developed into a nondescript military region.

The daimyo cut military spending, but the Ninja Village did not cut the number of ninjas but instead found ways to increase extra income.

When the extra money is not enough to support the huge number of ninjas...then the only option is to fight~

The only way to maintain a living is to divert conflicts and frighten the Daimyo to extort more military expenditures.

"Unless ninjas engage in a variety of jobs like ordinary people, any new profession will reach saturation."

"Or you can also find a way to control the daimyo~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shaz wanted to slap himself in the ear.

The guidance of Gaara before was already crooked, and now it is even crooked.

"Forget it, anyway, my original purpose was just to throw the blame so that I could give Gaara a reasonable explanation. It doesn't matter who I blame."

"Besides, if Gaara can really break the rules and do something innovative...that would be great!" Shaz thought.

But looking at Gaara who started counting the gold after giving him a faint glance, Shaz felt that he was not led astray by him so easily.

"I want to see the next shipment in three months, no matter the quantity."

Shaz thought for a moment and then nodded. There was no limit to the quantity and there was nothing he couldn't agree to.

"I personally suggest that you hire some ninjas, even just two or three teams. If another accident happens, you can at least reduce some of the losses." Gaara looked at Shaz and said.

Shaz was immediately confused.

It does not cost much to hire a small amount... but it is an unnecessary extra expense!

Isn’t it difficult for him to make extra money?
