Chapter 20 Xiaodi, You Are Not Honest
Three days later, early in the morning, Deidara, with two dark circles under his eyes, dragged his tired body to find Naruto with Sasori and Kurotsuchi.
Naruto wakes up in a bad mood.
But he was pulled out of bed by three people early in the morning, but today he did not get angry, which was rare.
Although I definitely didn’t get enough sleep today, wasn’t there still a three-day sleepless night ahead of me?
Oh, three days without sleep means two people.
The only difference is that the other one is a scorpion. However, Scorpion’s current puppet body does not need to rest at all. He would still be full of energy even if it takes three days or three years.
When I saw Deidara staggering like he might fall down at any moment, even though Kurotsuchi, who was full of concern on his face, was supporting him tightly...
Naruto actually felt that his bad mood when waking up had disappeared inexplicably.
"finish watching?"
"How can it be!"
Deidara shook his head. It was such a big and thick book that even if he read it for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, he had only read less than one tenth of it.
But the vastness of the knowledge contained in even this one-tenth of the content is enough to shock Deidara.
“The things recorded in this book are really amazing. I never thought that an explosion could have so many different effects.
The things I made with explosive clay before can at most be considered as homemade bombs in this book... No, not even homemade bombs!
I just don’t understand how this has anything to do with making my art recognized by other people.”
Naruto smiled and did not rush to answer Deidara's question. Instead, he turned his head and looked at another person.
"And you, Scorpio, what do you think?"
"...This book is very good.
With the help of this book, the strength of the puppets I made can be improved by not just 30%, but at least three times!
You are being conservative about this.
But I can’t figure out what this book has to do with promoting Deidara’s art…”
Three days ago, Naruto threw the "Blue Star Thermal Weapons Illustrated Book" in front of everyone, clapped his hands and left.
But before leaving, he said something to Scorpion.
"You can also take a look at this book. The contents should be able to increase the strength of your puppet by 20% to 30%."
Because of this sentence, Sasori accompanied Deidara to read books in the conference room for three days.
It is undeniable that the content did benefit him greatly.
But on the most critical issue, that is, how to use this book to make others accept Deidara's explosion art,
Like Deidara, Sasori can never find a clue.
“Before I answer your questions, I would like to ask you a few questions.
The first question is - are there more ordinary people in this world, or are there more ninjas?"
"Of course they are ordinary people."*2
Deidara and Sasori answered in unison.
After saying that, they looked at Naruto with a confused look on their faces.
The two really didn't understand why Naruto asked such an irrelevant question.
“The second question—I randomly pick an object recorded in that book, such as a pistol;
Can you two make it with the technology you have now?"
"Okay."*2
The two of them actually felt that they seemed to have grasped some inspiration.
"Third question, do you think a pistol can hurt a ninja?"
Deidara: "Within fifty steps, anyone below the level of a Chunin will die if you shoot him in the vitals."
Scorpion: "Anyone below the jonin level who is not a ninja who specializes in taijutsu can be injured by taking them by surprise."
After saying that, an idea suddenly flashed in Deidara and Scorpion's minds. After looking at each other, they spoke in unison.
"Make what's in the book, and let ordinary people use it to fight against ninjas!"
"wrong!"
Naruto shook his head and said seriously.
“It’s sold to ordinary people!
Moreover, these hot weapons sold to ordinary people must be added with some of your own characteristics, Xiaodi.
For example... bullets that explode.
This will help people accept your explosion art more quickly, Xiaodi."
“Since we are determined to change the world, we have to face the first problem before us – the two major class contradictions in the world today.
Nobles and commoners, ninjas and ordinary people.
Just as the nobles have the power of life and death over the common people,
Ninjas can also decide the life or death of any ordinary person at any time and anywhere.
If we can finally unify the ninja world, then the first thing we must do to maintain long-term peace in the ninja world is to...eliminate the original class divisions!"
"If the classes between nobles and commoners are divided by status,
Then the factors that divide the classes between ninjas and ordinary people are much simpler, because there is only one - strength.
The easiest way to eliminate the gap between ninjas and ordinary people is to allow ordinary people to gain the power to kill ninjas.
We just happen to have this kind of power, that is - hot weapons."
"The cost of making a pistol is only a few thousand taels at most. The cheapest bullets are ten taels per box, with fifty bullets in a box...
This way every ordinary person can afford it, and when facing threats to his life from ordinary ninjas, he will have an additional means of saving his life.
Over time, as more and more ordinary people were able to save their lives at the hands of ninjas because of the existence of firearms;
When they learned that these thermal weapons were developed by a great ninja named Deidara to protect them from the persecution of evil ninjas;
When they learned that the great ninja Deidara's inspiration for developing thermal weapons came from his love of explosions...
Do you think they will still not accept the art of explosions?"
Deidara: d(?д??)!!!
Scorpio: d(?д??)!!!
“Naruto, your analysis is great, but I still have a question.
What if the thermal weapons I made are bought by the enemy and used against us? ! "
Naruto rolled his eyes at Deidara who asked this question.
"Are you stupid?
The things that are sold out should be powerful enough to kill ordinary jonin at best.
Of course, the more powerful ones are put into the organization for our own use!"
【Fuck,
It is true that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!
High, really high! 】
Deidara: d(?д??)!!!
"So your next task is to produce a batch of thermal weapons as quickly as possible and gradually release them into the market as planned."
"Oh, Xiaodi, I have to remind you in advance.
This is a big project, so in the early stages you can ask Scorpion to help you, but later on you must learn to manufacture most of the thermal weapons independently.
You should understand that Scorpio's art and yours are not on the same track.
Maybe someday I will find a path that suits him and let him do something else.
do you understand? "
Deidara was so excited that he nodded repeatedly;
The yellow-haired head was shaking so hard that it left an afterimage, causing Heitu, who was supporting him, to look even more worried.
A bright light flashed across Scorpion's eyes, and he secretly looked forward to when the path that Naruto said would suit him would appear...
……
A few days later, Deidara came to Naruto happily carrying two boxes, one large and one small.
"Naruto, it worked!
Brother Scorpion and I successfully made a pistol and an RPG rocket launcher!"
……
"Look, I'm going to do what you said with this pistol.
The price is 1999 each, just consider it as making friends.
Ordinary bullets weigh 10 liang per box, and explosive bullets weigh 50 liang per box."
Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
……
"This RPG rocket launcher is relatively expensive to make, and its power is enough to hurt ordinary jonin, so I decided to price it as follows:
Each launcher costs 300,000 taels, and each shell costs 10,000 taels.
What do you think, Naruto?"
Naruto frowned at that and shook his head slowly.
"Xiaodi, you are dishonest."
"Ah? No way~
I am not pricing it randomly. The manufacturing cost of this RPG rocket launcher alone is close to 25 taels, and the cost of the shell is about 6000 taels.
I can't make much money from selling one set of this thing, so I just consider it as making friends~
You taught me this..."
Naruto asked seriously, interrupting what Deidara was about to say next.
"Xiao Di, do you think ordinary people would be willing to spend so much money at once to buy your RPG rocket launcher?"
Deidara lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly.
"That's why I said you were dishonest~"
"why?"
"Because if you multiply it by ten, it should be three million taels for each launcher, and one hundred thousand taels for each shell!
Xiaodi, you need to know...
Making friends is aimed at the general public;
And the purpose of making this thing is not to make friends, but to kill those rich dog owners..."
Deidara: Very insightful~d(?д??)!!!
