Ninja Ice House

The southern part of the Kingdom of Wind was divided and became part of the Iyo Kingdom. For ordinary people in Sunagakure Village, the feeling was not very deep. The Furusugi family invested a lot in this place. The Suna ninjas were busy completing their tasks and had no time. Take care of "little things" thousands of miles away.

In contrast, the grandson of Elder Qiandai, the Red Sand Scorpion, defected again, which brought an even greater impact.

In particular, this time the Red Sand Scorpion did not sneak away alone, but took a lot of confidants with him.

However, the village is still unable to judge whether all the internal agents loyal to the Red Sand Scorpion have left with him, and whether those who remain are worthy of trust.

Leaving it in the past, the two siblings, Chiyo and Ebizo, had no choice but to intensify their efforts to suppress the rebellion.

Now, pretending not to know and being in harmony with the light is more in line with the needs.

Although he is young, Gaara is extremely sensitive to important events and handles them very well.

After a period of pretentious investigation, it was quickly announced that the rebels had been eliminated and that all that remained were trustworthy compatriots.

As a result, Sunagakure Village quickly calmed down after some turmoil.

The current Suna Ninja really cannot withstand any disturbance. Economically, they are completely dependent on external investment led by the Furusugi family. Politically, they cling tightly to the thighs of Konohagakure in order to tide over the difficulties.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sunagakure Village has actually collapsed after its defeat in the "Konoha Collapse Plan", with heavy losses in combat power. Even the fifth generation of Kazekage is difficult to elect. In terms of economic order, due to the suppression of the Gushan family, it is obviously more difficult than in the original timeline.

The important factor causing this phenomenon is that Konoha Village is also trapped in the quagmire of debt crisis and is unable to extricate itself. There is no spare capacity to support Sunagakure Village.

As for the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Wind, it can actually be regarded as the Marshall Plan of this world. The Gushan family's money is not free, and must be exchanged for sufficient benefits.

The subtle infiltration made Suna Ninja unable to guard against it.

The economy of the Country of Wind was already fragile. The legal currency was silver taels, and the order based on the precious metal silver quickly collapsed under the credit currency and financial system advocated by Gu Shan Bushui, and then became a vassal without any suspense. Passively join the big family of "Ninja World Market".

During this period of flood-like monetary easing, the Gushan family used banknotes and the banking system to promote the infrastructure construction of the Kingdom of Wind, and then acquired many high-quality assets. The next move was naturally to push up their value and make them more valuable. Leeks pay the bill, then "collect the water" for a run, buy back at a lower price, and then prepare for the next round of economic cycle.

In this artificially created false prosperity, it seems that every Suna ninja can strive for a happy and stable life through hard work.

Being too busy to worry about anything else and focusing on striving for a better future is the current situation in Sunagakure Village.

After explaining some things about Ebizou, Chiyo walked to the outer wall of Sunagakure Village that had been expanded and renovated like an ordinary old woman, and looked down at the village, which was undergoing demolition and construction like a large construction site.

The sun was setting slightly in the west, and in the foggy wind and sand, Chiyo squinted his eyes and could not see the detailed appearance. He only knew that everyone was coming and going in a hurry, and there were endless tasks.

I don’t know how long it took, but a thirty-year-old, slightly old-fashioned jonin from Sunagakure Village arrived and reported respectfully:

"The Godaime asked me to inform you that Konoha Village has agreed to send experts to take charge."

"That's good. Tsunade is a Hokage who can recognize reality. The Sunagakure Village that is too weak is obviously not in their interests."

In the one-village-one-nation order, Konoha Village is the well-deserved boss. When it comes to allies that can be reluctantly trusted, the only ones they can trust are Suna Ninja.

It's mysterious, and I don't know that the so-called Mist Ninja is unreliable, and its position is difficult to understand.

Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja are obsessed with the sacred land of Fire Country, and will not let go of the possibility of attacking Konoha Village as long as there is an opportunity.

Only the Sand Ninja, under the direct threat of the Iwa Ninja, had to stand with the Leaf Village.

Even if the Sand Ninja betrays the covenant again and again, he still has to stick to the covenant that will be torn up without knowing when.

"Who will the Leaf Village send here?"

"Kakashi Hatake, there are probably others, and by the way, Danzo Shimura seems to be interested in getting involved..."

"The darkness of the ninja world? What plans does he have..."

Chiyo couldn't help but frown.

Among the most dangerous people in the ninja world, Danzo Shimura will not be ignored under any circumstances.

Although the "Root" organization has been very low-key in the past two years, not very active in the ninja world, and has not done anything major, considering their past record, no one dares to confirm whether this is a smoke bomb.

"I don't know. Danzo Shimura himself won't be here, but Mizuki, a cadre of the 'Root' organization who has been active recently, may come to observe on the spot."

"What are you observing to see if we still have the strength to cause trouble?"

Chiyo snorted dissatisfiedly,

"What is this Mizuki's background? I've never heard of his name before."

"He is really a little-known ninja. He was a teacher in a ninja school. I haven't heard of any great achievements. However, he is very popular. He is good at dancing for a long time. He is the largest employment broker in Konoha Village. Later, I don't know how he was hired by Shimura Danzo. After taking a fancy to him, he was recruited to join the 'Root' organization, and then quickly re-employed. He is almost the most powerful cadre under Shimura Danzo."

"There is nothing special about him, but he was suddenly promoted. That... is really strange. You should arrange more eye contact to observe him and see his background."

"Yes."

Markey promised.

This matter is not easy, but it is not big either. Mizuki is not a mysterious person who doesn't know how to follow. Although he has not deliberately publicized it, he has not hidden it in any serious way.

It seems that he is the kind of mediocre ninja cadre who seems to have no special skills but is actually very ordinary and relies on his qualifications to get ahead.

Because of this incident, Chiyo went to the Kazekage's house not long after to discuss some details of cooperation with Gaara.

"Asking for help in the name of technical exchange is a last resort. The masters in our village are gradually withering away, and the ranks of chuunin and above are also shrinking greatly. There are few talents, and there is no money and resources to continue to expand training."

The resources of the ninja world are limited. The desert of the Kingdom of Wind was originally barren and had little output. Now, both quality and quantity have dropped a lot.

Gaara responded pertinently:

"We are not without confidence. The various high-explosive ballistae developed with the puppet technique are very powerful. If they are gathered together and used well, they are also very powerful weapons."

"What do the Gushan family say? There are their warships cruising on the canal. If there is a fleet guarding them, even the 'Five Shadows' will be hard-pressed to compete head-on under the salvo of heavy artillery."

It would be too much of a disadvantage for a flesh-and-blood body to resist the cannons of a giant ship, and no normal person would make such a choice.

"The answer is still the same. They don't participate in disputes between ninjas, and they don't even accept hired help. They have a completely irrelevant attitude."

"Even if we are willing to offer many, many preferential terms?"

"We didn't even have a chance to put forward any conditions before we were rejected."
