Red sand dust

In the Leaf Village, the information about the scene where Sunagakure Daimaru captured the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Murasaki, leaving unmistakable traces of the Wood Release, has been sent back for some time.

Tsunade, who was a little surprised at first, was about to ask her less than honest ally what happened at that time, but after writing the negotiation document, the Fifth Hokage thought about it and burned it with his own hands.

"If the sand ninja denies knowledge, then it's okay, Quan pretends not to know; but what if they admit that they have mastered the power of wood release? 』

Order the Suna Ninja to hand over the secret technique?

Don't be stupid, even if Suna Ninja agrees, how should we pay?

Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if we disagreed?

Do you still want to fulfill the covenant?

Nowadays, exchanges in the ninja world are becoming more and more frequent, and many secret techniques that were originally exclusive are also spread everywhere, such as the shadow clone technique. Jōnin with some connections in the major ninja villages can basically get the training methods. The difference lies in learning. If you don’t learn how to use it, it’s just a matter of whether you can use it well or not.

Think about the Fire Release that the Uchiha family inherited hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, it is almost becoming a popular product. Forget about advanced Fire Release Ninjutsu, there are not many Fire Release ninjas who can't do the signature Ninjutsu such as Fire Release and Go Fireball Jutsu.

Wood escape is special, but so what?

If an unknown third party masters Wood Release, Konoha Village will pursue it with all its strength, but if Daimaru can really use Wood Release, Konoha Village cannot actually use too strong methods.

"For now... hold it down and investigate secretly!" The Senju family has disappeared, Mudun and so on..."

Tsunade, who remembered some past events, put the information at the bottom of her desk drawer and locked it solemnly.

In the "Root" ninja underground base, Shimura Danzo casually threw aside the so-called "Wood Release" information.

"Orochimaru's test subject, or someone else? Unexpectedly, apart from the lucky person "A", there were also others who slipped through the net! 』

Shimura Danzo didn't take the inferior wood escape that was greatly reduced in power to heart. Only the absolute power of the Sharingan and the first-generation cells to form a balance of yin and yang can reproduce Senju Hashirama's feats.

Compared with this trivial "little thing", the information about the four tails attracted Shimura Danzo's attention more.

The only magic weapon that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama used to dominate the ninja world back then was the tailed beast.

…

In Sunagakure Village, Hatake Kakashi and Tenzo, who had not arrived for a long time, together with the two "root" ninjas brought by Terai, finally arrived before the year.

The leader, Hatake Kakashi, is well-known. Tenzo, who has been staying in the ANBU, is not known to many people. There are also three "root" ninjas with strange masks. The aura exuding from their bodies makes the sand ninjas a little afraid. .

Fortunately, someone from Konoha Village came to see Lao Zi and confirmed that the Sand Ninjas had indeed captured the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and formal negotiations began.

Bargaining and other matters naturally have specialized talents to handle it. Gaara would not be able to end it personally from the beginning. As for Daimaru, he was not interested in these trivial matters.

As long as the basics are not changed, others will naturally be taken care of.

Only a day and a half later, the two parties reached an agreement on specific transaction conditions.

The Sand Ninja, who was eager to get rid of the hot potato, did not open his mouth. The large piece of rich land on the peninsula in the southeast corner of the Land of Fire was enough to satisfy his appetite;

The Konoha ninja seemed to be eager to bring the jinchuriki back quickly, and the conditions they offered made the Suna ninjas jealous.

Since both parties had no objections, Gaara, on behalf of Sunagakure Village, formally signed the document with Hatake Kakashi, the envoy sent by Tsunade.

"You're really impatient. Can't we discuss it in a few days?"

When he learned that the agreement was reached quickly, Daimaru was shocked by the efficiency of both parties.

The deal between the Ninja beasts, which determines the changes in the power structure of the Ninja world, was decided so hastily.

Daimaru, who originally decided not to get involved, planned to rest for a few days and go to Awaji Village on the south coast after the New Year. When he was preparing to go overseas to take over the enclave, he was suddenly informed of an urgent mission?

"What? It's obviously a buyer's market. You only get what you ask for. You actually agreed to the other party's condition of 'delivery to your door'. Are you stupid?"

Facing Kankuro who came to ventilate, Daimaru sneered unceremoniously.

"Things like tailed beasts will not be shipped if you pay for them. The money will be paid and the goods will be paid. No credit will be owed. You will be exempted from liability after leaving the counter, right?"

Kankuro looked at Daimaru who was spitting with an innocent face, and replied helplessly:

"The Konoha ninja said they don't have the ability to bring back the Jinchuuriki..."

"Are the 'Copy Ninja' Hatake Kakashi of Konoha Village, and the other four powerful Jonin, all just wooden piles? They can't even escort an old uncle back? How dare he say such shameless words... …”

"Gaara also has difficulties. It seems that there are differences among the Konoha ninjas. One side represents the Fifth Hokage, while the other side has other ideas..."

"So, let us make the choice?"

Since there is no consensus, let's just leave it to the Sand Ninjas and see who they give it to for signature.

And doing so is beneficial to Tsunade. After all, the official trading partner of Sunagakure Village cannot be the "root" ninja who doesn't even show his face.

Gaara, on behalf of Sunagakure Village, chose to support Tsunade and took over the task of transporting the tailed beasts, asking Daimaru to hand over Lao Zi to the current Hokage Fifth Generation.

"In short, for you, it only takes two days to go back and forth. If you set off immediately, you still have time to celebrate the New Year..."

“It’s so considerate!”

In this winter, the whole high-speed cruise all the way to Konoha Village is also a huge drain on Daimaru. The New Year is coming soon. It doesn't matter if I don't have a year-end bonus of thirteen years of salary. I have to work overtime urgently and travel far away. Even if I am my brother-in-law , can’t be squeezed like this?

"S-level mission, generous bonus..."

"This is not about money..."

"Gaara said that the large market in the southeast corner will be renovated and a piece of land will be left for you..."

"It's done!"

Daimaru was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.

"Can't you say this earlier? It's a waste of time to talk nonsense for a long time. Let's go quickly..."

Sunagakure Village, which is built on the mountain, has difficulty in expanding its area. The difficulty of finding land is even more serious than in Konoha Village. The "tube building" where Daimaru is located, if it were not for the location and the poor foundation, would require a lot of money. The huge cost of transformation will seriously outweigh the gains in the short term, and there will be no big pills to pick up the slack.

The large market not far from the main road of the gate has always been in need of upgrading, but it has been delayed due to lack of money. Now the village is a little better off, and some projects that have been put on hold for a long time are also on the agenda.

Under the conditions of Sunagakure Village, land is basically priceless and cannot be bought no matter how much money you spend.

If there was a chance to get a piece of land in a prime location in Sunagakure Village, it would be a huge profit.
