Chapter 1030 Trend

The key to the competition between Ninja Villages lies in people, to be precise, talents.

In the past, Sunagakure Village was limited by its own conditions. Not only was it unable to attract external talents to join, it was even unable to fully tap its internal potential.

After the entire Sand Hidden Village and even most of the Kingdom of Wind turned into a large construction site, the Sand Ninjas finally realized what it was like to have people missing everywhere and to have endless work to do every day when they opened their eyes.

As the fifth generation of the Kazekage, Gaara is even more frightened by the rapidly expanding and endless fiscal deficit.

If last year they only rebuilt Sunagakure Village and overdrawn the fiscal revenue for two or three years, now the Sunagakure is almost gambling with their lives, placing their future on the environmental transformation plan launched by Daimaru Ichi.

It was done, and Sunagakure Village has since escaped the shackles imposed by God on Suna Ninja and become the true "third pole" of the ninja world. If it fails, it may be difficult for a generation to recover the losses.

"Since I can remember, the Sand Ninja have only been worried about not being able to feed too many people. Never like now, they hope that our compatriots will get married and have children as soon as possible, and that foreign talents will quickly come to settle in the Kingdom of Wind!"

During the busy break, Gaara sighed sincerely.

Suna Ninja wanted them as long as they were individuals, not to mention rare talents with special talents such as Kaoru, Guren and Yukimaru, who even had blood inheritance limits.

Gaara took time out of his busy schedule to personally recruit people, and it was a last resort.

The impression of the Kingdom of Wind in the past was really bad. No matter who had the choice, they would not settle here. There are few countries in the ninja world that are more barren than the Great Desert.

Not only Sunagakure Village, but also Awaji Village on the south coast has begun to take shape. Various major industries require a lot of manpower and material resources. Fortunately, the output is rich, and after deducting consumption, there is a lot of surplus to support Sunagakure Village headquarters.

Naruto Village across the sea is like a water pump, absorbing a lot of residents and resources from the southern border of the Fire Country, the Bear Country, and the Tea Country. While its own body is rapidly expanding, in addition to providing financial support, it is temporarily There is no way to spare the talent to support the Sunagakure Village headquarters.

This is not a real-time strategy game. Build a residential building, upgrade a military camp, and spend a little money. No matter how many civilians and troops you have, you can "create" them in a short time.

The original population base of the Kingdom of Wind is there. Taking into account the marriage rate and fertility rate, as well as the time required for children to grow up, within fifteen years, there is basically no way to support the rapid development of the Kingdom of Wind by "giving birth to oneself". speed.

It is only natural that snatching immigrants is put on the agenda.

In the past, Daimaru always kept nagging in his ears, "There is strength in numbers," and "The flames are strong when everyone adds fuel to the fire," etc. Gaara still didn't feel it deeply, but now he has a clear understanding.

Because he really couldn't find enough ninjas, Daimaru even used many puppets that were not used for work as support for important positions. Even Koyamabuki wore a small safety helmet and controlled the puppets to go about their business, even wearing a The cloak, Gaara, the human puppet with super powerful sand ninjutsu, are all used as bulldozers, road rollers, pile drivers, etc., and the effect seems to be okay.

Kankuro, who also mastered the human puppet with magnetic escape ability, was naturally not forgotten. With the help of magnetized sand iron, the internal pipeline laying was much smoother.

Kaoru was led away by Temari, Guren and Yukimaru also went to their respective places. Other talents who could be spotted were also arranged to recruit suitable personnel. As for the reserve forces recommended by Naruto Village and Awaji Village this year, they have already been Being robbed.

Gaara, who had been busy from morning to afternoon and didn't even have time to eat lunch, finally felt a little more relaxed.

The stiff expression on his face relaxed a little, and he took out a document signed by Daimaru from the drawer. Gaara hesitated slightly.

This document is generally a response to today's dilemma.

After dozens of eloquent pages, to sum up, the core idea is to find ways to seek external support.

Whether it is funds, manpower, raw materials, necessary medical care, food, drinking water, management talents, etc., all can be hired from outside.

The Country of Wind is not the "lighthouse" that everyone yearns for now, and its reputation is not even very good. With the speed of news transmission in the ninja world, it is basically impossible to rely on the natural inflow of immigrants, so we have to find ways to take the initiative, and this requires money. And it is a lot of money, but the current situation of Sunagakure Village cannot support it at all.

Actively "throwing money" is too expensive and may not be effective, so we need to find another method.

"Is it a gold rush? Is it really possible to attract people with half-truths and half-false news?"

In the entire ninja world, the Kingdom of Wind produces the most gold, not because there are many gold mines, but because they are easy to discover.

The ancestor Kazekage Luo Sha had the secret method of using magnetic escape to control placer gold. Over the years, it gave many illusions to the outside world.

People always think that having rich precious metals, rare mineral deposits, etc. will make them rich, but that is totally wrong.

Daimaru's previous life had developed into the information age, and countless poor and weak countries had emerged that had treasures buried under the land, but could only be plundered by outsiders.

Gold is considered a symbol of wealth, not because it is valuable, but because it is rare and considered valuable.

Sunagakure Village was originally controlled by others, and its basic supplies were completely dependent on external purchases. It was normal to spend more money and buy less supplies.

If we unscrupulously unearth the few remaining placer gold, the final result will definitely be a sharp depreciation of gold, and ultimately all the joy will be in vain.

Without the ability to control the price of gold in the entire ninja world, it would be wishful thinking to make a fortune by mining gold mines.

Therefore, the correct approach should be to use gold mines as bait to attract more people to the Kingdom of Wind to pan for gold, and in this way, drive a series of industries and form a virtuous cycle.

Due to the war, the ninja world has never had a city that emerged due to the gold rush, but Sunagakure Village actually has the conditions to "make a game".

In the proposal given to Gaara by Daimaru, it was clarified that Sunagakure Village has the largest gold reserves in the ninja world, as well as outsiders' misconception that the Land of Wind is rich in gold mines, and supplemented by propaganda methods, artificially created a trail to discover large gold mines. news and spread it widely.

All the sand ninjas have to do is to control its process, attract foreigners in, and guide it in the required direction.

Because there was no precedent, Gaara didn't know whether such a little trick would work.

Silver, the precious metal circulating in the ninja world, is measured in taels. For daily needs, gold does not appear at all. It only exists as a symbol of wealth.

Because of the low circulation, the value of gold against silver is obviously significantly overvalued.

Therefore, it is extremely inappropriate to use Sand Hidden Village or the Kingdom of Wind to mine and export large amounts of placer gold. You may be able to taste a little sweetness, but the biggest benefit will not fall on you.

“There are many ways to use wealth, and you don’t have to spend it or sell it to be safe.”

Daimaru's warning came to Gaara's mind again.

To be honest, although Sand Hidden Village has not sold a large amount of gold, it still regards it as an important reserve like the Dinghai Shenzhen. Whenever there is an emergency, it is used to exchange for war preparation materials, rations, etc.

Gaara also had to think carefully about how to operate in order to attract more people to take risks without excessively depleting the gold reserves of the Kingdom of Wind.

"People are more important!"

Precious metals cannot be eaten or drunk, they cannot keep warm when they are cold, and they cannot be used to make weapons when they are dangerous, but they are relatively stable and are not as fickle and difficult to figure out as humans.

"The human heart!"

Finally, Gaara sighed. For today's Sunagakure Village, we must seize the rare opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything after a while.

Taking out the large map of the Land of Wind, Gaara made some drawings on it, and finally selected a medium-sized gold mine between Awaji Village and Sunagakure Village headquarters, which happened to be not far from the planned southward river. The operation is not difficult.

"That's it. Arrange a few people to spread the news about the discovery of the big gold mine, especially the Fire Country, so that more people who are not living a satisfactory life will know. At the same time, arrange the necessary guarantees to open up channels for them to go to that place... …”

Digging for gold requires tools, and gold prospectors need food and fresh water, so food, clothing, housing and transportation must be arranged, and more choices must be given to them.

There are only a handful of people who get rich overnight by digging up gold. Most of the unlucky ones who come here after hearing the news have to face reality in the end.

These talents are what the sand ninjas need to strive for.

It's not that we don't want more wealthy people to immigrate to the Country of Wind. The key is that without this condition, others won't want to come.

The only people who can be attracted to the Kingdom of Wind are undeveloped smog-filled places like the Kingdom of Bears and the Kingdom of Sichuan. There is not much difference between being killed by mosquitoes and diseases and dying of thirst and starvation in the Kingdom of Wind. At least for people from one of the five major countries. The ascending channel is smooth and the upper limit that can be reached is also high.

Following Gaara's instructions, the gold rush, instigated by someone with good intentions, gradually began to spread.

Most ninjas don't care about these mundane things. Unless it becomes a trend or is related to tasks, it is difficult for people to notice.

Only those who are determined to leave their hometown and take risks in the Kingdom of Wind will not miss the opportunity to change their destiny and try their luck in the Kingdom of Wind.

…

In a corner where no one is paying attention, Uchiha Sasuke, who has learned a lesson, is on his way back.

The task assigned by Orochimaru was not too difficult, and the pressure caused by Taki-nin was not as great as the "backhand" left by Orochimaru.

The real threats are various toxins and alien chakra that destroy body functions.

These tiny organisms that change for unknown reasons are the same symbiotic cell clusters that developed in Daimaru's coveted Ukon's blood boundary.

Theoretically, it is a creature that can be made into a carrier of resurrection or soul transfer.

I don't know when Orochimaru started cultivating this kind of thing. Its danger is obviously more terrifying than the symbiotic cell mass in Daimaru's hand.

"No one has too many means of resurrection!"

Orochimaru said.

However, Uchiha Sasuke could intuitively understand that this was not true.

This kind of microorganism mutated by alien energy should have been specially created to deal with Daimaru.

It's very important, but it's not the core of Orochimaru's power, so he lets Uchiha Sasuke know a lot.

Now, Uchiha Sasuke, who has cultivated into Sage Mode and is gradually aware of the mysterious energy in his body that is coveted by Daimaru, is no longer afraid of such dangerous little things, and even the threat of Orochimaru is not so urgent.

After I go there, there is a high probability that this kind of thing extracted from the bottom of the lake will be tested on Deidara.

While imagining the future development, the quiet revengeful boy frowned, silently jumped up to the tree crown, and observed the Konoha ninjas in the distance, heading towards the direction where Uchiha Sasuke came from.

In the team, Uchiha Sasuke saw several familiar faces, especially the blond boy who had grown much taller.

"It's been a long time no see. It's a pity that you are a step late!"

Because the reincarnation chakra of Indra in his body became active, Uchiha Sasuke also realized that he might not be the only special person.

If Daimaru didn't lie, the other "protagonist" in the prophecy was his former teammate.

but……

"Now, it's not the time yet. Let's look forward to our next meeting. I feel it's not far away..."

The vengeful boy muttering to himself sped away without looking back, with no intention of meeting him at all.

In a dark corner where no one was paying attention, a long winding snake was wrapped around a tree trunk. Its gloomy eyes watched Uchiha Sasuke go away, and then disappeared into chakra smoke.

In a secret underground base, Orochimaru took back the psychic snake, learned what happened to Uchiha Sasuke, and said with some regret:

"Didn't we encounter it? It's a pity, but the test is enough..."

With the current physical strength of Uchiha Sasuke, it is much stronger than the body of Genyoumaru currently used by Orochimaru.

It has been almost three years since the last time he used the Forbidden Technique: Fuzo Reincarnation. This body riddled with holes has begun to limit Orochimaru's ability. After a while, the wounds in his soul are further repaired, and it will be close to the end. It's time to get your hands on the ideal container.

Although it is a pity that Uchiha Sasuke does not have the Mangekyō Sharingan activated now, it is not bad since it has been supplemented in other areas.

Of course, the last thing is to maximize the use of everything, including the body he is currently using, and then take over everything from Uchiha Sasuke and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"Kabuto, get ready..."

The pharmacist, who was silently acting as an assistant, adjusted his glasses frame, with a fake smile on his face, and respectfully agreed:

"The time is almost up, congratulations to Lord Orochimaru, you are about to get what you hoped for..."

Orochimaru smiled evilly and stretched out his long tongue, licking the corner of his mouth greedily.

"Daimaru seems to have said something to Sasuke, giving him a lot of confidence! If he relies on Sage Mode, that's too much to think about. I really want to see what his expression will be like then..."

"Are you completely desperate? Unfortunately, I can't see it anymore!"

Even though Uchiha Sasuke is not what he used to be, and his strength is still improving rapidly, the gap between him and Orochimaru is still huge, especially after being imprinted with the curse seal of heaven engraved in his soul, Orochimaru is almost invincible. The place of defeat.
