Red sand dust

The island is lush and green, with many well-known and unknown fruit trees growing there. In the center is a rippling freshwater lake. The natural conditions are good, and many birds, animals, insects and fish live on the island.

Residents of nearby oasis, during the season when the fruits are ripe, will also take advantage of the low tide to go to the island to pick wild fruits, hunt some game, and transport back fresh water to survive the famine years.

Daimaru once asked the local natives why they didn't just move to the island. Although the island was small, it was still an oasis and could feed hundreds of people.

The answers made Daimaru feel the simple wisdom of these villagers although they were not smart.

For many years, even the elderly cannot remember the source. The unnamed island has been regarded as a nearby shared protected area, and even worshiped as an indigenous god.

Only in the days of severe natural disasters that are difficult to survive, everyone will let women and children move to the island. Young people, under the command of the old man, will open the dusty treasure house and command the young people to cut down the strongest trees on the island. Instead, build a large fishing boat and go out to sea to catch whales and other large sea beasts to tide over the difficulties.

Everything on the island is protected as a gift from the gods.

Although technically, Daimaru doesn't think this has anything to do with gods, in fact, this kind of tradition has preserved the foundation of the inheritance of the residents of the nearby Wind Country.

Once someone settles on the island permanently, the original environment will inevitably be destroyed. It will be impossible to have enough old giant trees to build large ships, and the shipbuilding and whaling skills passed down from generation to generation will not be put to use.

He restrained his greedy desires, and although his life was a little harder, he also maintained the hope of surviving the drought and famine years.

I admire him a little, but also feel a little sad.

Fortunately, Daimaru has taken a fancy to this bay with a good geographical location. In the hearts of the nearby residents, the simple faith is still there, but the days of being in panic and suffering from famine all day long will probably not come.

Today, the small village named Awaji by Gaara will sooner or later become the well-deserved center within a radius of a hundred miles.

…

It was late at night, and the noisy people finally dispersed. Because there was an unlimited supply of fresh water, everyone filled up almost all the utensils they could take out, sealed them, and took them back carefully.

Even so, apart from careless daredevils, very few people spilled the water.

Waste of water resources is an unforgivable evil here. Among the messy footprints on the sand in the field, there are very few areas that are hardened due to water damage.

Gaara waved the Shadow Guards who were secretly protecting him to retreat.

Daimaru and Gaara couldn't deal with the enemy together, and even the full weight of the Shadow Guards would have no effect.

Only Kankuro had a special status and came forward to stand side by side with Daimaru.

Although the two brothers of the Kazekage family have never had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation since they were young, one's spirit has been radicalized due to the erosion of Shukaku Ichibi, and the other has stayed at home playing with puppets because he has no friends, but as ninjas, they have traveled all over the world. He has many opportunities, and he is not a playboy who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

"I didn't expect you would actually do it!"

Kankuro touched the sand iron pillars supporting the water tower with his hands with emotion.

"It won't end in vain like those previous experiments!"

"rest assured!"

Daimaru chuckled and replied,

"As long as there is enough fuel, it is impossible to shut down the desalination plant..."

"Will I lose money..."

Kankuro, who asked involuntarily, then realized what he was saying and laughed dumbly.

Even if it loses money, as long as there is an unlimited supply of fresh water, the village will definitely keep it running at any cost.

This is not a matter of money. The sand ninjas have had enough of the painful experience of having their basic survival supplies choked by outsiders. Let alone losing money, as long as they can still maintain it, there is absolutely no way it will fall.

"Fu Yi is an amazing person..."

Gaara said,

"The strength is a bit inferior, but the courage, vision and talent are indeed stronger than mine..."

If it hadn't been for his strong support, the air combat force would probably not have existed. After a series of developments, Iwa Ninja was even suppressed after a long time, and the regaining of his homeland would not have happened.

Without the first start-up capital given by Fuyi, this stronghold that carried the hopes of many people would not have been built. Although the money given was not much, it showed his attitude in the end and allowed Daimaru to get off to a good start.

Hearing Gaara praise his opponent, Kankuro said angrily:

"Even if he has lived for a few more decades and has more experience; in a few years, you will be no worse than him..."

“It’s hard to say what’s going to happen in the future!”

Gaara shook his head slightly,

"It would be great if he would fully support me and help me build the village..."

Almost no Suna ninja could imagine that scene.

Gaara knew this too.

Enterprising talents are very important, and mature and experienced seniors are also indispensable. Unfortunately, Gaara still has a lot to do in order to heal the rifts in the entire village.

Of course, Daimaru has a lot to do, to protect the small village of Awaji and get through the most difficult moments. Next, it is not a matter of just one or two people, but everyone has to work together to give full play to the collective wisdom and strength to develop it. .

Researching the Human Puppet Technique, helping Kurama Yakumo capture the White Zetsu clone, studying natural energy to develop the Sage Mode, etc., all require a lot of time to practice and perfect, and you cannot divert too much energy from ordinary affairs.

"In addition, there is one thing that must be prepared in advance. The number of puppet masters must be increased. Even if it is to prevent the outbreak of the ninja war and maintain the economy, more ninjas who are proficient in puppetry must help..."

To feed more ninjas, it is definitely not possible to rely on big pills and small efforts. Systematically increasing the number of a certain type of "technician" ninja can only be efficient if it is driven by Kazekage.

"I see!"

Gaara nodded,

"This is a good thing. More ninjas can make the lives of more families better, as long as we can support them! We are so lucky to be born into a ninja family..."

After becoming the Kazekage, Gaara was able to view the complex relationship between ninjas and ordinary people from a higher level.

On the surface, ordinary people who are paid to hire ninjas to complete tasks seem to have a higher status.

In a secular society, ninjas are only interested in profit and will do anything as long as they are given money, which makes many people very disdainful of ninjas as a group.

Do ninjas have a low social status?

Risking your life to make money, spending a huge price to cultivate talents, one mistake may lead to your life and death, and all your efforts will be wasted.

Even if you have outstanding talent and get ahead, unless your family already has money and status, you still have to follow the rules in the ninja village.
