Red sand dust

At the end of February and the beginning of March, the nights in the Kingdom of Wind are still unbearably cold, and the scorching sun during the day is already three to four times as powerful as in summer.

Especially at noon, the sunshine falling from the sky scorches the ground where the wind and sand are gradually rising, and heat waves rise, making people feel hot involuntarily.

In the spring and autumn of the Kingdom of Wind, the temperature difference between morning and evening is extremely large, which is the most difficult time for people to adapt. There is also the non-stop wind throughout the four seasons, which has no moisture at all and makes people's cheeks and lips crack.

The so-called bright spring and crisp autumn air are absolutely impossible to exist. The days of changing hot and cold are really not as reassuring as the monotonous cold winter and scorching heat.

Outsiders may not realize it, but many villagers in Sunagakure Village really feel that the harsh winter and heat are much more convenient than the spring and autumn seasons when they have to change into winter clothes and summer clothes twice a day.

"I've been in the green Naruto Village for a long time, and it's a bit unaccustomed to come back to my hometown where the sky is filled with yellow sand!"

In the entire Sunagakure Village, the vegetation coverage rate will not increase just because Daimaru has mastered the Wood Release.

Except for the rooftop terrace garden of Daimaru's private property, the "Tongzi Building", there are specially cultivated flowers and small potted plants, but there are no places that look like plants.

The greening rate is hovering between zero and infinitely close to zero. The big talk of turning Sunagakure Village into a garden town has not yet been realized. As for the dream of a hot spring hotel, I don’t know when it will be implemented. .

Occasionally, when I have free time, I can only laugh at myself because I am too busy and have no time to go to Konoha Village to inspect the hot spring hotel. I have not learned the advanced operating experience, so I can only put it off for the time being.

Chi, who was wearing a traditional female Suna ninja outfit, calmly walked back half a step, looked at Daimaru who was wearing a light blue robe, raised his hood, faced the airflow passing through the long street, and walked slowly towards the Kazekage's house. .

"Actually, there are different colors, but the wind and sand are a bit strong today!"

"A large number of clothes of all colors hanging out in front of the laundry? This is what my family does..."

Daimaru said teasing words naturally.

Basically, the color of this land hovers between yellow and dim yellow. What determines the difference is how strong the wind is and how much visibility there is.

Qian smiled and shook his head:

"The artificial cultivation of kelp in the salt fields in Awaji Village has achieved some results. The south cannot use up all the kelp, and many are sent to the north. When the weather is good, the villagers will take it out to dry..."

To be honest, that kind of large dark green and purple-black thing has never appeared in Sunagakure Village before.

Listening to the words of his teammate and subordinate, Daimaru thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but smile:

"I guess it doesn't taste very good!"

Not to mention dried kelp, with the rise of fishing in the south, the proportion of pickled seafood in the diet of residents of Sunagakure Village has become much higher.

Correspondingly, the prices of fruits and vegetables have skyrocketed.

The intake of animal protein and fat increases. If you want to have a balanced diet, your demand for vitamins and trace elements will definitely be higher.

It is a pity that there is basically no agriculture in the Kingdom of Wind. The numerous green foods are not enough to supply the local nobles, and ordinary people cannot afford them.

Fortunately, Daimaru's layout in Awaji Village is still working. The experimental orchards and supporting processing plants, except for a few sold in the name of luxury fruit wine, have also provided a large number of canned fruits and vegetables to fill a large number of vacancies in Sunagakure Village.

In addition, the plans for "deep sea ranches" and "sea farms" have also been planned long ago. There is nothing to rely on on the ground and can only be obtained from the sea.

"Actually, everyone thinks it's quite novel. Although it is a sea plant, it is also a vegetable that was out of reach in the past..."

Some strange smells are minor issues.

"plant?"

Daimaru smiled,

"That thing is not a plant, it's more like a bacteria..."

Don't think that those with chlorophyll in their bodies that can photosynthesize are plants. Daimaru prefers to think of these primitive algae as a collection of single-celled bugs with flagella.

Of course, based on the status of organisms in the food chain, as producers and preyed upon by consumers, it is not too wrong to call them plants.

In any case, it is true that these sea creatures can be cultivated on a large scale, and they provide basic protection for the residents of the Kingdom of Wind who are in urgent need of a balanced diet, which is not bad.

"Everything is fine! Anyway, it's pretty popular! The rich drink tea, and the poor eat kelp and the like. Everyone seems to be getting used to it..."

As for the more rare apples, oranges, melons, grapes, etc., they are only conscientiously consumed during the New Year or major celebrations, and they are bought individually.

"It feels really strange to think that I am one of the participants in these feats that have changed the living habits of the village for decades. I have a sense of mission to witness history..."

After handing over the power in Awaji Village this time, following Daimaru back to the village was for more important things.

Looking back on my experiences during this period, there is always an unreal feeling.

I never thought that those trivial things I did at the beginning would affect the future of thousands of families.

"Many things are made up of trivial things! Under the torrent of the great era, most people can only go with the flow, but... they are all meaningful!"

“It doesn’t feel like comfort!”

Who doesn’t want to be a trendsetter of the times?

Being a dispensable background, most of the time there is no sense of achievement. If it weren't for a shining guy like Daimaru, most of the people around him would probably not even be able to play part-time roles.

"There is no point in consoling anything! In short, the stage of low-key development and accumulation of strength has passed. The protagonists who are about to promote the development of destiny will not wait for us to have time to prepare!"

Pushing open the door of Kazekage's house, the two of them walked in without stopping.

Someone is waiting for Daimaru and his assistant to make a summary report for Awaji Village after passing the "novice period".

In that emerging village, Daimaru occupies most of the interests in it, but after all, it is not Daimaru's private property, nor is it a warlord separatist force that listens to orders and disobeys propaganda, but a subsidiary settlement of Sunagakure Village.

Awaji Village, which has officially established its foothold, is about to withdraw from a series of preferential measures. Whether a few special treatments will be retained is still open to question.

In any case, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Wind to have two legitimate ninja villages. The situation of South Sunagakure Village and North Sunagakure Village being side by side will not happen. If nothing happens, Awaji Village and Sunagakure Village will be merged, and Sunagakure senior officials will officially Exercise jurisdiction and the days of wild growth are over.

Of course, there is also the task evaluation of Daimaru and his important cadres and the rewards based on merit.

The initiator of Awaji Village was Daimaru. It started as an S-class mission that was so difficult that almost no one thought it could be completed. After today, the mission is over.
