Red sand dust

When Sunagakure Village was actually transitioning to a political entity and was undergoing a difficult transformation, except for a limited number of parties, almost no organization, shadow or daimyo realized that the order of the ninja world that had been solidified for decades was changing. Experience an unprecedented impact.

Because it was not clear, no one deliberately stopped it.

Just as Daimaru said to Gaara, ninjas and secular people operate under two completely different sets of rules. The struggle for hegemony between ninja villages and the secular family members holding power from generation to generation are considered It is a natural truth.

There is no tradition of "princes, generals, ministers, etc.", and the various "grass kings" do not have an environment to expand and subvert the order of the entire ninja world. The only exception is the "Akatsuki" organization that is currently being encircled and suppressed by the entire ninja world.

Strictly speaking, it would be impossible for the founder of the "Akatsuki" organization to have no guidance from Jiraiya, no Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito to help him, and no "Rain Country" as a fairly good base for him to develop and grow. Become so powerful.

Now, when Daimaru began to implement the plan in depth, he discovered that the biggest difficulty was not the interference of the daimyo of the Land of Wind and other ninja villages, but the number and population composition of the influx of immigrants, which were far from what was expected.

Except for the large influx of civilians from the Wind Country and the neighboring Kawa Country, the immigration from other places was quite small, much lower than expected. This made Daimaru and Gaara breathe a sigh of relief. While the short-term pressure was greatly reduced, it also provided Worry about long-term plans.

"I may have misjudged the vitality of the ninja world..."

Sitting in front of Gaara, Daimaru poured out his bitterness.

"The traditional agricultural economy has made the land a big constraint on the population. Unless they are forced to do so, no one is willing to leave their hometown and cross the vast desert to seek life in the heart of the Kingdom of Wind..."

It's not that the people under his command don't work hard and the publicity isn't in place, it's just that in peacetime, there aren't that many refugees to recruit.

In the era of Daimaru's previous life, the Agrarian Revolution had passed for more than half a century, and traditional agricultural society had already developed into the information age. Although there were still some restrictions on population migration, free movement was not a problem; but with the current situation in the shinobi world, Sunagakure The village had no choice but to turn its attention to those poor tenant farmers, hoping that they would be attracted by Sunagakure Village's new policy and move to the Country of Wind.

But after understanding the truth, Sunagakure Village felt very troubled from top to bottom. Even the hungry serfs had various ties. Not to mention anything else, basically every household owed money to the local big landowners, The wealthy people have debts that they have been unable to repay in their lifetime. Once they leave, they will become wanted fugitive slaves. They will be hunted by the government. Low-level bounty hunters and wandering ninjas will also snatch the bounty for the sake of survival.

Without anyone to protect them, these tenants, with their families and their families, could hardly escape more than 20 kilometers before being captured.

In this case, no matter how generous the conditions offered by Sunagakure Village are, it will be useless.

After traveling to the ninja world for so many years, Daimaru really didn't expect that he would encounter the much more advanced puppet industry and the backward traditional agricultural economy robbing the labor force. What's even more ridiculous is that he couldn't win.

"This can be considered a good thing..."

It was the first time I saw Daimaru scratching his head and scratching his head, unable to do anything, and Gaara also had a smile on his face.

"It gives us more time to react. Although the development is slower, it is also more stable..."

The current scale cannot be managed by those half-hearted "civil servants". If it continues to expand rapidly, I am afraid that even Gaara will have to personally figure out the calculations.

"It's impossible to really announce a system to encourage childbirth..."

Although there are risks in large-scale immigration, and there is the possibility of spies being planted by outsiders, with the current population size of the Kingdom of Wind, it will take at least half a century, It takes the efforts of three generations.

By that time, both Gaara and Daimaru were no longer young.

Although the success does not necessarily belong to me, it is not that happy to let future generations pick the fruit after working hard all my life.

If you delay for too long, who knows what accidents might happen?

"It would be great if the ninja world also had great geographical discoveries, found new continents, or had a tradition of slave trade! 』

Although the slave trade is quite immoral, the primitive accumulation of capital is always full of blood and cannot be so clean and pure.

"Let's put these things down for now. There is no need to rush. Not to mention other people, even I need some time to change my role..."

As Sunagakure Village has more and more things to manage, the original crude management model is no longer able to keep up with the needs.

Qualified staff need to be recruited, the reorganization between departments needs to be accelerated, and newly added departments with real power need to be enriched with talents and perform their functions.

Even ninja schools have to add many subjects for ordinary civilians, such as law, calculation, history, philosophy and politics, etc. These may not seem to produce direct benefits, but in fact they are very important subjects. There are not even textbooks, so it is impossible. It would have to be compiled from scratch by someone else's hands.

If it weren't for the experience of developing Awaji Village on the south coast and building Naruto Village, there might not be a few sensible people in the entire Sunagakure Village.

Gaara changed the subject and talked about another trouble:

"The Mizukage Godaime has written to me several times, hinting that he wants to strengthen ties with our Sunagakure Village. Do you think it is necessary?"

In the past two years or so, the exchanges between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water have become more frequent, but that is because the opening of Naruto Village has strengthened non-governmental commercial activities between the two countries. There are not many real high-level meetings.

The Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja are not mortal enemies with deep hatred, but they do not have much contact. There have been conflicts from time to time in the past few decades. In the last Ninja World War, the Sand Ninja defeated the invading Mist Ninja and killed them. Returning, in retaliation, he forcefully killed Ye Cang, the Shao Dun envoy.

If both villages weren't allies of Konoha Village, they probably wouldn't look good on each other.

An ally's ally is not necessarily an ally.

Since Gaara became the Fifth Kazekage, the relationship between the Kiri Ninja and the Suna Ninja has improved a lot, but it has not reached the point where they have strengthened their contact in private behind the Leaf Village's back.

“What, specifically, do they want?”

Daimaru thought for a while and asked,

"Although Mizukage the Fifth Mizukage's authority is growing day by day, the influence of the Elder Yuanshi cannot be underestimated. He is a truly powerful sect. Could it be that something has changed within Kirigakure Village?"

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Gaara waved his hand and denied Daimaru's guess.

"It's about the three-tailed Isozo! Among the nine tailed beasts, except for those captured by the 'Akatsuki' organization, most of them are under the control of Konoha Village, especially the three-tailed Isozo who belongs to Kirigakure Village. It is understandable that the Kirigakure Village is a little worried about sealing the jinchuuriki..."

Well, this is also an unexpected change caused by Daimaru's actions. Although the general trend remains the same, the details are very different.

With the current decline of Kirigakure Village, it is estimated that the tailed beasts and jinchuriki cannot be saved. It is not unacceptable to send them to their ally Konoha Village, but the state of the three tails is really embarrassing.

"Are they trying to seal a new Jinchuuriki?"

Daimaru understood the reason after thinking for a moment.

"Are there still such talents among the Mist ninjas today? With all due respect, if they really had this ability, they would not sit back and watch the Three-Tailed Iso wander, nor would they let the Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki Yugao wander around for several years without being able to catch him... …”

"Not all ninja villages are like us. Not even a single tailed beast is gone..."

Gaara smiled and shook his head.

Nowadays, the Suna Ninja are really barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, no matter what; the Mist Ninja have been alone overseas for these years. In fact, no Dai Ninja Village trusts them because they don't understand them and don't have much communication with them.

No one can speak for them except Sunagakure, their ally.

"So, the Fifth Mizukage wants to convene a Five Kage Conference to discuss arrangements for the tailed beasts and jinchūriki stranded in Konoha Village. Does he want us Suna Ninja to support him?"

Daimaru responded,

"It's better to have a good talk with the Fifth Hokage. Tsunade should be easier to talk to. This is not a big deal..."

"not that simple……"

Gaara explained,

"Now the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto has returned to Konoha Village. He has been active recently and seems to be harmonious on the surface. However, Konoha Village is not monolithic..."

"You mean Danzo Shimura?"

Apart from him, there aren't many big shots that the Five Shadows really deserve to worry about.

For the "Darkness of Konoha" who has always wanted to grasp the power of tailed beasts, placing so many tailed beasts and jinchūriki in Konoha Village is like putting a rice vat next to a rat's nest. It would be strange not to be tempted.

Of course it's not possible to rob openly, but it's still possible to rob secretly.

For example, in order to protect the three-tailed Isozu and resist the Akatsuki organization, and select a new three-tailed jinchuriki, if there is no suitable person in Kirigakure Village, the "root" organization can do it for him!

In addition to Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha Village can definitely choose another Jinchuriki candidate. Descendants of the Uzumaki family are the most suitable, but it does not mean that other ninjas are not suitable at all, such as Nohara Rin, who directly caused Uchiha Obito to betray Konoha Village.

With the background of Konoha ninjas, it shouldn't be too difficult to select the second "Nohara Lin", not to mention that it is easy to capture.

This guess was also confirmed by Gaara.

"interesting!"

Daimaru rubbed his chin, thought for a while and said,

"Won't Tsunade stop it? This is an act that will displease allies..."

"In the face of a powerful enemy, 'security' is the most important thing. Moreover, Kirigakure Village does seem to be easier to bully..."

Years of bloody mist policies have almost wiped out all the great ninja clans in Kirigakure Village. The cruel selection method has overdrawn the future potential. Without a generation of rest and recuperation, it is impossible for Kirigakure Village to regain its strength. Like Chojuro is a good rising star in other ninja villages, but he will never be considered as a "kage".

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of Kirigakure Village's bad situation. Fortunately, Terumi Mei, the Mizukage Fifth Generation, has taken the lead, otherwise we don't know how it would have declined.

"Then...is there a suitable candidate for the Kiri Ninja? The Three-Tailed Isotrie is about to enter his mature stage. If he wants to fully display his combat power, it is also necessary to seal the adult chuuriki. It is not easy to refuse..."

For the sake of the entire ninja world, it is hard to argue with the injustice of the Kirigakure Village and allowing a Konoha ninja to serve as a "transitional" three-tailed jinchuriki.

I am afraid that the meat bun will beat the dog, and there will be no return. The tailed beast is sealed, so it is difficult to take it out at will, otherwise it will lead to the death of the Jinchuuriki. The only way to hand over it is to wait until the end of life.

However, who knows how long the "candidate" three-tailed Jinchuuriki selected by Danzo Shimura can live?

If you want to live a long life and hold on to death, what should you do in Kirigakure Village?

There is no blurred line between temporary lease and actual possession. In the long future, as long as there is an opportunity, Sanwei will say goodbye to Kirigakure Village completely.

"There are alternatives to Kirigakure Village, but whether it can be recognized by Konoha Village is another matter..."

"That's why we Suna ninjas are needed to help 'justice', I understand..."

Daimaru nodded understandingly.

The ownership of the three-tailed Izodiac undoubtedly belongs to Kirigakure Village, but because of the "Quick Rescue Team", a cross-ninja village organization specially formed to "serve" the tailed beasts, the situation is a bit complicated.

The "Quick Relief Team" is a formal organization formed after passing the Five Kage Conference. As more and more tailed beasts and Jinchūriki are under its "administration", its influence has also expanded greatly. If it weren't for Hatake Kakashi, the leader If he could still control the scene, he might have been targeted by all kinds of demons and monsters.

The leader of the "Quick Rescue Team" is now the most powerful person under the "Five Shadows", not even comparable to Danzo Shimura.

"What's the bottom line for a Mist ninja?"

Gaara replied:

"Nowadays, the scale of the 'Quick Rescue Team' and the 'Sniper Team' is getting bigger and bigger. The addition of elite soldiers and generals from all walks of life has increased their combat power. Together, the two can even destroy the Country of Grass and the Country of Tang. Waiting for countries that are not weak, but they are international organizations under the Five Shadows Conference, not the private property of Konoha Village. The current leaders of the 'Relief Team' and the 'Sniper Team' are Kakashi Hatake and Shikama Nara. For a long time, they are all Konoha ninjas..."

Gaara's explanation made Daimaru instantly understand that Mei Terumi was planning to take control of the "Rescue Team". Once the next three-tailed Jinchuuriki was not a Kirin ninja, he would have to be replaced by a leader who was not a Konohagakure, so...

"What Ninja Mist means is, let me come?"

Daimaru was stunned.

The ninja world has a good reputation. There are only so many powerful ninjas, and excluding the Konoha ninja, there are only a handful of them. In the "Relief Team" established with Konoha ninja and Suna ninja as the main body, Suna ninja occupies nearly 30% of the quota. Most of them are flying ninjas, more or less related to Daimaru, and they are even the manpower supporting the air combat force of Sunagakure Village.

If Kakashi Hatake steps down, there will be no more suitable successor than Daimaru.

"It's a bit troublesome. There are too many things going on in Sand Hidden Village right now, and I can't leave yet..."

"Obtain the position first. As for how to operate the 'Relief Team', there are many ways..."

"for example……"

Gaara, who had already considered it, directly answered Daimaru's question:

"Assign a permanent secretary to handle general affairs as the deputy secretary, two deputy secretaries to balance all parties, and then designate a private secretary as the representative..."

"The power balance of bureaucracy, Godaime, you have learned it badly..."

In an instant, Daimaru's face became pretty.

"I have grown up..."

Facing Daimaru's teasing, the young Kazekage defended without changing his expression.
