Red sand dust

In Orochimaru's view, the rising star who was plotting against him at that moment was still not ruthless enough.

Of course it’s not wrong to play the long game to catch big fish, but there are so many valuable “big fish” in the world, is it necessary to be so cautious?

Over the past few decades, Orochimaru has dealt with an unknown number of blood successor realms, and many of them are very valuable. In the end, only a handful were absorbed. Others, such as Guren, who possesses the crystal release blood successor realm, Both Kaguya Kimimaro and Kaguya Kimimaro, who was born in the Corpse Bloodline, were given up.

The two have the same idea on how to obtain external resources to enrich themselves. The difference is that Orochimaru adopts a more radical "fishing and hunting" approach, while Daimaru adopts a more moderate "farming and breeding" approach.

For a while, Orochimaru also thought about why there was such a difference. Later, he vaguely felt that his original intention was probably to obtain a younger body and maintain enough enthusiasm to study more ninjutsu. So we are more eager for quick success.

Daimaru is still young, less than 18 years old, and has surpassed the achievements that most ninjas can achieve in a lifetime. There are still decades for him to toss in the future, so his attitude is very calm, and he does not care about temporary gains and losses.

Whether the truth is what Orochimaru thinks is probably unverifiable, but it does not prevent Orochimaru from determining that the danger that Orochimaru deployed on several of his subordinates is really not high.

"It smells a bit like the three major spiritual beast holy places, especially Mount Miaomu!" He is obviously a young man, but he has the poise of an old man, which is really interesting! 』

As for Deidara, this "big fat sheep" was favored by Daimaru and Orochimaru, and they worked together to raise him fat and white. The best choice was to grow more meat and wool.

"Since Deidara has very good talents and adaptability, some modification experiments, biological cell transplantation, etc. can be tried on him..."

Orochimaru thought for a while and said with interest,

"Also, a few years ago when I passed through the Kingdom of Thunder, I accidentally obtained the eight-tailed severed horn. I have carefully cultivated it for so many years and it has multiplied a lot. If I seal it in Deidara's body, something may happen..."

Orochimaru was also very curious about what effect the stimulation of tailed beast chakra would have on Deidara, who had several weird things in his body.

"If most people would go through this trouble, they would probably die several times!"

Even Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but look at the ignorant blond young man with sympathy when he heard his immediate boss's plan.

Who said he is no longer an "ordinary person"?

The world is dangerous, and as a rebellious nin, the fate of failure is sometimes worse than death.

…

Southeast of Konoha Village by the sea, inside a high-rise building on the edge of a town that few people paid attention to, Daimaru and Kurama Yakumo took advantage of their free time during experiments to discuss some important issues.

As part of the deal, helping to cultivate Kashiwagi was just one of them. In the biological experimental base dominated by the Kurama family, Daimaru was only responsible for providing higher-level ninjutsu theoretical support and guest-starring as the general supervisor.

After the cooperation began, the Kurama family's huge financial resources and mobilized manpower and material resources helped Daimaru a lot.

With the support of the local snakes in the Fire Country, things that were still somewhat stumbling became much smoother.

"It's too risky for you to invest so much!"

After roughly reading the cooperation project proposal and investment plan, a wealthy person like Miss Kurama couldn't help but be shocked.

In addition to the Naruto Canal, which is about to start operations, and it is not yet known whether it can maintain a balance of payments, Naruto Village, which has not gained popularity, is now consuming a huge amount of materials every day. The cost of food consumption alone is painful, and even more Not to mention the strategic reserve medicinal materials such as Bingliang Pills that were consumed in order to rush the work.

If you add up the Suna ninja, recruited civilians, craftsmen, and ordinary laborers, there are too many people who directly or indirectly depend on the construction of Naruto Village.

"There's nothing I can do!"

Daimaru sighed,

"Naruto Village and Awaji Village have different starting points! Awaji Village is just a model, and everyone in Sunagakure Village has very low expectations for it. As long as it can survive normally, it will be surprising enough; Naruto Village is just a model for Sunagakure. The fertile land obtained by selling the tailed beasts at great risk, and the land that holds the hope for our compatriots to break free from the shackles of fate. If it cannot quickly form a scale, it will be difficult to handle later..."

The previous unimaginable success of Awaji Village gave Suna Ninja an unrealistic "mysterious trust" in Daimaru. Up to now, when it comes to the construction of Naruto Village, as long as Daimaru appoints him, he will basically respond to every request.

But infrastructure construction is not something that can be accomplished overnight. There is a huge gap between the reality of long-term investment and the difficulty of seeing results in a short time, and Suna Ninja's immediate profit expectations.

"But you spend money so lavishly..."

Kurama Yakumo hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but persuade,

"Our Kurama family doesn't care. If you lose, you will lose. It will be difficult for you to explain to others!"

"It doesn't matter! You have to have confidence in me!"

Daimaru seemed to be talking with some success,

"There are not many residents within the entire area under the jurisdiction of Naruto Village. Relying on tea and other agricultural and sideline products cannot support Sunagakure Village's dream of prosperity. If Naruto Canal wants to be famous, it will take time to build a scale, and it will also take time to widen and develop supporting facilities. Follow up..."

"It sounds like there won't be much output in a short period of time..."

"Indeed! Therefore, we can only do the opposite. If the output is not enough, we will create more demand, so that the prosperous Fire Country and the Wave Country with booming trade, and even businessmen further away, will pay attention to Naruto. Village, transport goods all the way there, sell them and make money..."

"This... is really a confusing operation, just to pay people to support you?"

"I just buy things in advance that I will definitely use in the future. Every penny spent is valuable and not wasted..."

The concept of burning money to cultivate the market is still unfamiliar to the Ninja world. Attracting more temporary residents to settle in, causing short-term supply shortages, and winning the favor and investment of external funds are basic operations.

The biggest trouble is that there is no mature capital market in the ninja world. All the money burned has to be paid by oneself, and then the Kurama family and other collaborators are given blood transfusions. The village cannot exit until the entire Naruto Village begins to balance its books and get on the right track.

Although the risk seems a bit high, Daimaru is quite confident. At least for more than a year, there has been no major turmoil in the ninja world. In addition, Daimaru's subordinates also have a lot of income to make up for, protecting Naruto Village through the period of rapid growth and Not a problem.

"It's up to you. Just tell my uncle if you're short of money! I'd rather you lose everything and owe me a favor!"
