Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Qianye leaned against the window, looking at the open space opposite the window, the new gate of the Iwagakure Village, estimating the size of the open space blasted out by Deidara, and then turned around.

"At least he's better off in Konoha now than he was in Akatsuki, isn't he?"

Ohnoki stared into Qianye's eyes, opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, and in the end he could only sigh.

Yes, at least Deidara is in Konoha now, which is better than his previous situation in the Akatsuki organization, where he was spurned by all the countries in the ninja world and was hunted down by all kinds of wandering ninjas in the ninja world.

At least Deidara and I will have many opportunities to meet again in the future, and I can see that guy again.

"You're right. The relationship between me and that kid has fallen to the point where it is today. No one can save it."

"Just let him live the life he wants in Konoha."

The corners of Qianye's mouth then slightly raised.

Now that I have completely resolved Deidara's issue with Ohnoki, we can avoid any trouble in the future because of Deidara's issue.

Then he pointed to the open space.

"Old man, after all, Deidara is your disciple, so I can't take advantage of you. I only want half of this land."

As soon as Qianye's words came out, Ohnoki seemed to have no expression on his face, but in fact he wanted to start cursing in his heart.

Although he had left a lot of open space before, it was not half as much!

According to Ohnoki's original idea, two-fifths of the land was to be used to build shops in his own village, and two-fifths was to be given to neighboring small countries and other villages except Konoha.

The remaining one-fifth was left to Konoha alone.

After all, there are several small countries between Konoha and Iwagakure. What's more, Konoha's caravans are now all over the ninja world, making it difficult to extract more goods from them and dump them in Iwagakure.

Not to mention that Qianye had just come from Kumogakure. In order to disgust himself and the Iwagakure Village, Ai would definitely try every means to expand the scale of transactions between Konoha and Iwagakure.

He specifically set aside 40% of the shops in order to use other small countries and ninja villages to fill the trade gap after they joined the Ninja Association.

But Qianye's exorbitant conditions disrupted all his original plans and guesses. For a moment, he was unable to figure out what Qianye was thinking.

"Qianye, personally, I am willing to give half of the land to you, Konoha."

"But there are six other countries bordering our Land of Earth. Among them, the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Soup are sandwiched between your Land of Fire and us."

"Half, it's still a bit too much to ask." Ohnoki looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Qianye was not surprised by such an answer. It could even be considered expected. After all, given Ōnoki's personality, he would definitely not allow the economic gap between Kumogakure and Iwagakure to continue to widen.

Konoha's current productivity has indeed reached its current limit.

However, this situation will probably be broken soon. After all, Tobirama has now completed his research on firearms, Orochimaru has completed the commission from the Hyuga family, and even the genius puppeteer Sasori has joined in the process.

Currently, Qianye has them researching supporting facilities that can be used for assembly line production. It is estimated that it won’t be long before the entire Konoha’s productivity will undergo its first comprehensive upgrade.

After all, Orochimaru could even make a mechanical Naruto, so how could he not be able to make such a little gadget?

"Given Iwagakure's current situation, this is indeed a bit too much to ask."

“But what if I said I could make a difference?”

Chiye's two sentences made Oonoki feel a little unbelievable.

"How can this be changed? Can it be possible that a large piece of open space will appear in the Hidden Rock Village out of nowhere?"

"Even if we want to expand further, Iwagakure doesn't have the financial resources to do so now. We have to wait a few years."

Expanding the area of ​​the village is indeed a method. Konoha also expanded it not long ago, but that plan is only suitable for Konoha. After all, Konoha has a lot of money, a good environment, and expansion is convenient.

But it would not be suitable to be placed in Iwagakure, as there are too many hills around it, and it would consume too much manpower and resources to expand it.

"Expansion is naturally not suitable for you, but there is another way besides expansion."

“That’s road construction.”

Qianye recalled the road conditions he saw on the way to Iwagakure and expressed his thoughts.

It’s a pity that after hearing this, Ōnoki was stunned at first, and then he laughed a few times as if he was amused.

"Haha, Qianye, are you trying to make me, an old man, laugh?"

"We in Iwagakure Village have too much money to spend, so why should we build a road?"

"Would a ninja walk on the main road?"

Ohnoki's words left Qianye speechless. There was a kind of beauty that made him look stupid, but considering the employment relationship between the country and the village in the ninja world, Ohnoki's words made sense.

The village only needs to protect the country from invasion by other ninjas. As for other things outside the Iwagakure Village, they are not responsible for them and they don't have the responsibility to manage them.

It is obvious that the old stubborn Ōnoki is very different from Mei Terumi in this respect.

Ōnoki's heart is with Iwagakure, while Mei Terumi's heart is with the entire Water Kingdom.

As for Qianye himself, red blood is flowing in his veins, which of course means that he is concerned about the ninja world.

And now, Qianye was too lazy to reason with Ohnoki. After all, this old man was extremely stubborn.

“The road must be repaired.”

"The Water Country and the Fire Country are even building a cross-sea bridge. Can't you Iwagakure even build a road?"

"If your village doesn't even have this ability, then these shops left for us should be left to the small villages around us."

"After all, there are three countries between Konoha and Iwagakure, which is indeed a bit troublesome."

Seeing Qianye's sudden tough attitude, Ohnoki felt panicked. After all, Qianye had always talked to them in a relatively peaceful manner. This time, seeing Qianye suddenly become tough, Ohnoki felt uneasy for a moment.

But building the road is really not cost-effective for Iwagakure Village. Although the initial losses will be made up little by little in the long run, Iwagakure really has no money now. As for the daimyo, he can't lower his face to ask for money from him.

Even though the Daimyo of the Land of Earth had a good relationship with him and never defaulted on funding payments, in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, the Iwagakure Village was the defeated nation. Even in the recent Chunin Exam, only Kurotsuchi made it to the top 16, which was really a bit of an embarrassment for him.

How can I have the nerve to ask Daming for money again?

Not to mention that even since he joined the Ninja Association, the Daimyo's government has not yet made any statement, and even he couldn't figure out the Daimyo's thoughts for a while.

At this moment, Ohnoki was completely confused.
