Chapter 436: Showing Up

Gaara, who had been in office for some time, put the heavy documents in his hands on his desk.

Daimaru's mission reports have always been like this, without paying any attention to the village's customary official document format. The content is detailed but not redundant, allowing everyone who sees it to clearly understand what Daimaru wants to say.

After Temari, who was transporting key supplies to the south coast, handed over the mission receipt, Fumiko, who was traveling with her, handed over the progress and short-term plans for land reclamation submitted by Daimaru.

In addition to the formal reports, Daimaru also made some innocuous requests in private.

"A week later, I will go to the south coast to attend the launch ceremony of the combined operation of the power station and desalination plant..."

Gaara thought about how to respond appropriately.

It stands to reason that for such a landmark event, it is the duty of the current Fengying to be there to stand up for the compatriots who are brave enough to pioneer.

The moral support was not positive, and the material support was only a little symbolic. If there was no help, forget it. The subordinates had to work hard and get things done, and no one gave an explanation. It was really unjustifiable.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Daimaru actually creates genuine fresh water.

Although many Sand Ninja are not optimistic about Daimaru's adventure, Gaara is quite optimistic about the seemingly reckless "Red Sand".

Although he has done a lot of things that people think are unreliable, Daimaru has never made any mistakes in such big matters.

"He will definitely succeed, the difference is only in degree!" 』

This is Gaara's judgment, and he is very certain.

In fact, Gaara also really needs this opportunity to go out and let everyone see the style of the new Kazekage.

The only trouble was whether he could convince the elders and advisors in the village to support Gaara's successful trip.

As a "mascot", Gaara's most important job is to show up when needed, and this is a power that is almost impossible for other elders to usurp.

It seems a bit sad to say it, but in fact, this is quite important to Gaara.

If the name is not right, the words will not be right. Occupying the right name is Gaara's hope of taking power.

Gaara was filled with hope after looking at the large cloak and Kazekage hat hanging on the coat rack not far away.

Every time he appeared in public wearing the "outfit" of the Kazekage Fifth Generation, it was a victory for Gaara, and he was one step closer to being recognized by his compatriots.

This time is no exception, everyone must agree to the request that Daimaru handed over.

As for the method, Gaara can't come forward on his own. The Kazekage, who has the final ruling power, can't go out and charge into the battle himself. If he does, he will be looked down upon, and he may not succeed. The consequences of failure are too serious, so he has to let others help. .

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Kankuro, who was on duty, asked loudly:

"The time to receive the Konoha envoy is coming soon. Do you want to notify us of the postponement?"

"No, go now!"

"Then...I'll make arrangements!"

Unknowingly, a long time passed. After Gaara put away the documents, he put on his cloak and hat and walked out.

Although they are biological brothers, one has to pay attention to their status in formal occasions.

As a member of the Shadow Guard, it is natural to obey the Kazekage's orders. Although some people now disapprove of Gaara, Kankuro is now a man of few words and can only rectify the name of the Shadow Guard through actions.

The Konoha envoy who came to Sunagakure Village this time was apparently here to inspect the results of the compatriots who were sent here to learn how to control the wing armor.

Of course the real purpose would not be so superficial, otherwise the famous Yamanaka Hai would not have been sent over.

Any ninja with a little bit of experience would know the importance of the "Ino Shika Butterfly" family.

For such a big shot to travel thousands of miles away, he must have other important matters.

As a family with a long tradition of spiritual secrets, it would not be useless without the cooperation of the Nara family and the Akimichi family.

Controlling other people's bodies and assisting friendly forces in attacking are only part of their abilities. Sneaking behind enemy lines and investigating the enemy's situation is also a specialty of the Yamanaka family.

In addition, having the ability to extract memories from brain cells that have not been dead for a long time makes the Yamanaka tribesmen an important part of the Konoha Village's torture team.

Although Sunagakure Village also has ninjas who are good at psychological secrets, their tendencies are different and their abilities are not as comprehensive as those of the Yamanaka family.

This time, the purpose of inviting Konoha Village to send Yamanaka tribesmen to assist was to obtain intelligence and evidence from the minds of some die-hard elements, and also to further dig into the inside story of the "Akatsuki" organization.

Finally, valuable information is shared between the two villages. As for how to implement it, Gaara is not directly involved. The people below will do it well. As the current Kazekage, he needs to make a gesture of goodwill between the two villages.

…

At the training ground outside Sunagakure Village, the Konoha ninjas who were training enthusiastically with the Sunagakure were doing pretty well.

With a relatively solid foundation, they were indeed a step behind at the beginning, but now they are slowly catching up.

However, one of the more eye-catching female ninjas with long hair made Yamanaka Hai's eyes jump.

"Is that Kurama Yakumo?"

When he was young, Yamanaka Kaiichi, who had interacted with Kurama Unkai several times, had also heard about the regrettable little girl from the Kurama family.

"It seems like something is wrong! Why isn't she wearing a forehead protector?"

"Because she's not a ninja yet..."

Not far behind him, a Konoha ANBU wearing an animal mask replied solemnly.

"What?"

Yamanaka Haiichi, who heard this for the first time, asked in surprise,

"Is this okay?"

The blond middle-aged man seemed to have noticed something inside, and laughed.

"Can the village accept such a thing now?"

"In principle, it does not violate the regulations..."

"I see!"

Yamanaka Haiichi waved his hand carelessly.

There is certainly nothing wrong with the procedure, but it certainly goes against the traditions of the Leaf Village.

The rich Kurama family is also relatively famous in Konoha Village. Although he is not very good at being a ninja, he is very good at making money.

In fact, this is normal. A family that manipulates people's bloodline boundaries will never be short of money as long as they are not stupid.

"For this little girl, Kurama Yunhai also spent a lot of money!"

If he hadn't used money to smash Konoha Village from top to bottom, it would be impossible to see Kurama Yakumo here today.

The corners of the Anbu's mouth twitched under the mask. He didn't know where to refute the village senior's "slander" about his immediate superior, Tsunade, so he had to change the topic.

"It's almost time to meet the Kazekage Godaime..."

"I see!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, avoiding the dazzling sunlight, and carefully looking at the winged armor in mid-air, Yamanaka Haiichi suddenly asked,

"That wing armor... seems to be a little different! Rich people are so powerful that they even bribed the Sand Ninja to directly buy customized products..."
