Red sand dust

Unlike Daimaru, who is somewhat reckless, although Miss Saya is not very interested in these things, she comes from a wealthy family, and she still understands a lot of truths under the influence of her ears and eyes.

"Many idiots who lost their entire fortune were as confident as you at first, but after putting all their money on the line, they lost everything!"

Saya snorted coldly, holding the tea cup with her cold hands, feeling the warmth brought by the steaming tea.

After a long time, Daimaru, who couldn't hold his breath, asked tentatively:

"What do you think? This is a great opportunity. As long as you rent a good store to me, and I make money, I can pay off the debt in advance..."

Miss Saya asked thoughtfully:

"You can't do this kind of thing alone. Who can do it for you?"

"My teammates Yeme and Qian..."

Miss Saya, who was waiting for Daimaru to continue, didn't hear the follow-up and looked at Daimaru strangely.

"that's it……"

Facing the scrutinizing gaze, Daimaru said bravely:

"And Kankuro, promised to help me..."

Sensing that she seemed to have asked a stupid question, Miss Saya resisted the urge to get up and leave, and said with a mocking tone:

"Although I knew you didn't have many connections, this is too shabby! Two genin who have no time to take care of themselves, and a homely young man with a fierce look on his face, can this be considered a help?"

"With a powerful leader like me, they can make a difference, probably..."

"I don't know where your inexplicable self-confidence comes from..."

Miss Saya pressed her forehead with a headache.

"You look like this, I don't have a store to rent to you..."

"No, we are so familiar. For the sake of our neighbors, please help me one more time..."

"Last time I was soft-hearted and you defrauded me of a lot of supplies, and I still haven't paid them back..."

If it weren't for Daimaru's home being in the village, where she couldn't run away even if she wanted to, and couldn't default on her debt, Miss Saya would have already asked the family's professional debt collectors to dispatch, or directly issue a task of forcible debt collection in the village.

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay back the money. I've worked hard and prepared for it for so long, isn't it just to make money to pay off the debt?"

Daimaru's face was filled with grievances. It was really embarrassing for the upright "Red Dust" man to bend down for a mere amount of money.

"I'm doing this for your own good, so that you don't lose money in the future and you won't even be able to pay back the interest you owe me..."

"No, don't worry!"

Daimaru swore, patting his chest and promising,

"If I wasn't sure, how could I spend so much energy and money on this?"

"I don't think so! Do you think that since you already owe so much money, it doesn't matter if you have more money, but maybe you can turn around by taking a gamble?"

Miss Saya looked at Daimaru, who was sweating profusely, suspiciously.

"In addition, I can indeed help you rent a store, but it is not mine. If anything goes wrong, you are responsible for it..."

Although he has never been short of money, he has never actually mastered the family's resources, and using his connections to connect Daimaru is already the limit.

"Can you find a good place with good quality, low price, good location and dense crowds? By the way, it would be best if you can delay payment of rent, pay in installments, etc..."

Although a successful genius ninja like Daimaru has no money, he still has some intangible resources. If nothing else, the expectation that he will be promoted to Jonin in the future is enough for some people to invest well.

"Wishful thinking, even if I introduce you there, with your conditions, it will be difficult to get even the cheapest store..."

Geographical conditions limited the development of Sand Hidden Village, and the total area was only this large. Not only do many common people in Sunagakure live in very cramped homes, but many famous jounin have struggled for most of their lives with years of loans in order to have a small villa where they can live and retire, basically just for Miss Saya's family. The oligarch went to work.

"That's not true. After all, I am also a well-known genius ninja..."

"What year doesn't one or two genius ninjas emerge in the village? How can a lifeless village unite people if they don't tout one or two future stars?"

Miss Saya scoffed at Daimaru's showoff.

Year after year, are there too many stories like this? Geniuses come one after another, and in the end they are all lost to everyone. Sunagakure Village has not seen a "true genius" who can take advantage of the situation for many years.

"I just want you to give up your illusions, improve your strength and become a Jonin, and do your tasks peacefully to make money and pay off your debts..."

"No, if I accept my fate like this, I will have to work for you for the rest of my life..."

Daimaru shook his head and rejected Miss Saya's suggestion.

"There are many ninjas working for my family in the village. Why, the money you owe me is so unacceptable to you?"

"It's really the tone of a rich man that makes people crazy with jealousy..."

After so long, he still couldn't persuade Miss Saya to help. Daimaru dragged his chin glumly, pursed his lips and said sarcastic words.

"I'm not dissatisfied with the money I owe. It's my ability to borrow money. As long as you don't press for repayment, I'll be happy..."

"You are the shameless poor guy. I really need to think about it. If you keep going on like this, it will be a big question whether you will be able to pay off the money you owe me in the future... "

Saying that, Saya sighed,

"A naive guy like you will rush into a vanity fair full of predators, and either surrender in despair or quit after a slight improvement, or you will be devoured alive by plunderers. A has-been brother like Kankuro cannot protect you. …”

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Daimaru smiled awkwardly. Ninjas are not businessmen, so they should not be so bottomless.

"As long as money is involved, it is a bloody meat grinding ground. Maybe ninjas are not that snobbish, but money itself is magical. When it reaches a certain scale, its power will drive people to unconsciously go down the road of greed. Go further and further.”

Looking at Miss Saya who was getting more and more excited as she talked, Daimaru whispered:

"Aren't you the eldest lady who escaped from marriage? You are tired of the intrigues and rich life, why do you know so much?"

"idiot……"

Miss Saya glanced at Daimaru,

"Why do you think I live in such a ghost place? Do you really think that my family is happy for me to go on a blind date with those noble children from the Kingdom of Wind who are as fat as pigs? It's all out of necessity..."

That's why it was so ridiculous to run away from home and barely gain a little freedom.

"Even if you really find a business that makes a lot of money, you can't keep it without a strong backing..."
