Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

“Rumble!”

In a roar that shocked everyone, the five sluice gates were opened, and the seawater, like a roaring beast, poured into Lake Lietou, the resulting water mist spreading over the banks of the river, so that everyone could smell the fishy scent of the seawater, and even see some fish.

After the initial shock, everyone in Sunagakure cheered happily, and the merchants couldn't wait for a result. Soon, the answer came.

As a newly promoted high-level ninja in Sunagakure, Jingū, who was in charge of the entire quicksand river construction project, stepped forward.

“Reporting to the Kazekage-sama, the sluice gate water injection work is proceeding normally. It is estimated that in thirty-six hours, the seawater will fill the entire Lake Lietou.”

Lake Lietou is not small, with a diameter of fifteen kilometers and a maximum depth of two to three hundred meters. It is not an easy task to fill it.

“Well, let people keep a close eye on it, and report any problems in a timely manner!”

“Understood!”

This is the benefit of having supernatural powers.

No matter what problems arise with the Quicksand River, Rasa and the village ninjas can quickly make up for and solve them with jutsu.

Seeing that everything was going normally, Rasa didn't stay here any longer and returned to the Kazekage Building.

The others followed.

Of course, Chiyo, Ebizō, Yekura, Mikawa, were not here.

The four of them are now elders and have long lost interest in these matters of the village, and are diligently cultivating in the Dragon Oasis.

In addition to Maki, Jingū, Mishima, Ryūji, Iris, and Yakushimaru, who had followed him, there were also two newcomers and an old man.

The two newcomers were named Kamata and Xi.

Kamata is a busty young female ninja, recommended by Yekura, to take over the mundane affairs of Yekura in the village.

Xi is a man with the representative attire of the Sand Clan, wearing a robe and with paint on his face. The reason for his appearance here is obvious.

Both of them are considered outstanding among the younger generation in the village.

Of course, only for ordinary people, neither of them has secret techniques, nor do they have kekkei genkai.

However, both of them are loyal to the village and have excellent work ability.

It seems that Yekura and Mikawa also know Rasa's character, and know that for the current Sunagakure, the most important thing is stability.

In addition to the two of them, there was also a person recommended by Yekura, which surprised Rasa somewhat.

That is the ninja Yekura found to be responsible for researching the technology of the Angkor窟 of the Sky Ninja Village.

His name is Hyakuzu.

Yes, it is Hyakuzu who will betray Sunagakure in the plot and travel through the Dragon Vein chakra to become An Lushan.

However, the current Hyakuzu is just a budding commoner ninja who has shown talent in the development of puppet techniques, and is loyal to Sunagakure.

As for the other old man, he is a spy from Konoha: Nonō.

As Karura's belly grew bigger and bigger, Rasa was not at ease letting her continue working in the orphanage.

So, Nonō became the director of the orphanage as a matter of course.

And because of her excellent performance, Rasa also handed over the work of logistics, pensions, and demolition compensation in the village to her.

Although it is a bit strange to let a spy and a person who may betray the village in the future be responsible for such important matters, their abilities have conquered Rasa.

Nonō's patience, meticulousness, and gentle personality make her more suitable for the current job than anyone else!

Not to mention Hyakuzu's talent, being able to develop a unique puppet technique with the Dragon Vein chakra is enough to show his talent in research.

Anyway, now that the future has changed, Rasa completely trusts them and entrusts them with important tasks.

Seeing that everyone had arrived at this moment, Rasa didn't waste any time.

“How are you all preparing for the Five Kage Summit to be held in our Sunagakure this time?”

This Five Kage Summit is a very good opportunity for Sunagakure to show itself.

As long as Sunagakure completely demonstrates its attractiveness to the five great powers this time, then Sunagakure's future development will not have to worry about it at all.

“Don't worry, Kazekage-sama, we have already ordered it, and everyone is ready, just waiting for the Five Kage Summit in ten days!”

It was Jingū who spoke. As Rasa's assistant, as she became more and more familiar with Sunagakure, she had completely become one of the new high-level ninjas in Sunagakure after the four elders and Maki, and had initially achieved Rasa's original expectation, turning the internal structure of Sunagakure from two factions side by side into a three-legged situation.

If Mikawa represents the noble faction of Sunagakure, and Yekura represents the commoner faction of Sunagakure, then Jingū now represents the immigrants and the non-ninja faction among the commoners.

In a military institution like a ninja village, commoners without ninjas in their families belong to the bottom of the bottom.

Even a commoner faction like Yekura would not pay attention to these families.

Because if you can't become a ninja, it means you have no value to use and win over.

But Rasa wants to develop Sunagakure. The power of ninjas is certainly important, but these bottom-level people are also indispensable.

Especially in the past year or so, after more and more immigrants have moved to Sunagakure.

And now, in order to develop the village, it is necessary to get rid of ninjas, this single source of military expenditure, and pay attention to the commercial and economic development of the village, these commoners are even more important.

Therefore, Jingū became their representative.

In fact, if we look at the authority of management and the number of people alone, Jingū has surpassed Yekura and Mikawa, but the two major factions behind Yekura and Mikawa do not have much objection.

The reason? Still, in the eyes of them as ninjas, no matter how large the number of ordinary commoners is, it cannot affect their interests.

The ninja village is still a village belonging to ninjas!

Rasa did not have the idea of breaking this concept.

Because, although it is not good to hear, but in this world, ninjas are the real protagonists. For the village, the power of ninjas is the foundation of Sunagakure's existence, and only this concept of hierarchy can support the entire Sunagakure's benign upward development.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Rasa's distribution of benefits, so that they are also well-fed.

“Well, thank you for your hard work, Jingū, tell everyone that I have already placed the opportunity to make money in front of them this time, how much they can earn depends on their own ability.”

“I understand, Kazekage-sama!”

“Are there any other questions?”

This time everyone spoke up and expressed the same meaning.

That is, with the straight-line growth of Sunagakure's population, whether it is the ninja school, medical department, ninja hospital, orphanage, or logistics, the original planned plans are no longer sufficient to support the current reality.

“How many people are there in the village now?”

It was Ryūji, the head of the logistics department, who answered, and he said with some shock on his face.

“Reporting to Kazekage-sama, according to the latest statistics, the number of registered villagers in our Sunagakure has increased from 100,000 a year ago to 130,000 now. This is only the registered number. If we count the foreign merchants and workers who work and live in our village, this number should be around 170,000.”

“So many?”

This time Rasa was really surprised.
