Chapter 532 Strategic Turn
Daimaru didn't have time to study the details, but after grasping the general development trend of the past based on the time context, he could barely understand the source of Sunagakure Village's current power system.
No systematic secret technique can be born out of thin air, and the result may deviate from the original intention, but no matter how magical the secret technique is, it can still find its source.
"Psychic Puppet" is a thing that Daimaru feels is particularly suitable for his former self. Whether it is lowering the difficulty of practice or developing a divergent contract using Yin Escape and psychic techniques, it is very consistent with the original research direction and his own. Mental talents also go well together.
Nowadays, Daimaru has achieved the immortal mode. It is a bit late to say this. Looking at the problem from a higher perspective, I feel that the "psychic puppet" mode is still valuable for reference, but it is not urgently needed.
After reading it for a while, Daimaru gained a deeper understanding of the reclusive Elder Chiyo.
The Kazekage Nidaime has been dead for many years, and Monzaemon is no longer alive. She possesses the essence of Sunagakure Village's puppetry. She is worthy of the responsibilities of the past decades, and it is understandable that she has a high status.
It was a symbol of an era, a soul figure in the early days of Sand Hidden Village, and inherited the spiritual sustenance of Sand Hidden Village in developing a living space in the vast sea of sand.
Handing the document to Gaara, Daimaru showed an expression of relief on his face as if the mystery had been solved, and whispered:
"When the five major ninja villages were established, they were the second strongest in the ninja world. Now they are reduced to needing the protection of their former competitors. The descendants have really embarrassed their predecessors..."
If it weren't for the fact that the Sand Ninjas had too great an advantage in the Country of Wind, and that they had mutual support with the Leaf Village and maintained a balance in the confrontation between the Ninja World, they might have been removed from the list in more than a year.
The lower-level ninjas may not have a deep understanding. They just feel that after the defeat of the "Konoha Collapse Plan", life has become more difficult. However, only the ruling elders and a few top ninjas can understand the hardship of maintaining the situation cautiously.
"Times have changed. As you once said, the opportunity for military expansion is basically gone..."
Gaara actually cherishes the opportunity of living in this great era of change and controlling the fate of Sunagakure Village.
"The basic base of the Kingdom of Wind is still relatively large. As long as some difficulties in basic conditions can be solved, the vitality that has been suppressed in the past can be stimulated..."
Food, water resources, living supplies, etc. are extremely real issues. In the past, Iwagakure Village occupied the northern border of the Kingdom of Wind, not because of the less fertile land, but to further suppress Sunagakure Village. Space.
There was not much room for choice. There were only two directions to advance, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire. The extremely adventurous Sand Ninjas wanted to eat a big fat man in one bite, so it was natural for them to choose to attack the Leaf Village.
As a result, this is what it is now.
"vitality……"
Daimaru chuckled and said,
"I didn't expect you still remember..."
Before Gaara became the Kazekage, Daimaru would brag in front of Gaara from time to time. Some of the truths were specious and not sure whether they were suitable for Sunagakure Village today. I don’t know how much he said, but there were some things that Gaara would remember. Come on, Daimaru is already very satisfied.
"Finding a suitable balance between efficiency and vitality, I still agree with your words..."
Gaara continued to speak calmly,
"In the past, the village was too difficult and could only squeeze out its potential. The elite policy was a manifestation of extreme efficiency. It is not bad, but it has its limits. Going north to regain lost land and going south to open up sea areas gave us more choices. Learn from It’s not bad to learn the advantages of Konoha Village…”
"Did you learn this from the Konoha ninjas?"
"Not entirely! I heard you talk about it. I have learned a lot from the elders recently, and then I think about it myself..."
Well, Daimaru still had to admit that the brother-in-law in front of him was the Kazekage who was destined to be there. It was really good that he could find a way out of the predicament for the village.
Daimaru also knows some truths, but he doesn't want to spend too much time dealing with them. For example, going out in public to deal with the Leaf Village, maintaining goodwill, etc. are purely for show. In the past, his strength was low, but now the "Red Sand Dust" "How can the uncle have the patience to take care of those insignificant "little things"?
"So, do you think the village in the past focused too much on efficiency, and now it should move in the direction of improving vitality?"
"This is the development trend of the times. Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village are the most dynamic and potential ninja villages among all the ninja villages in the ninja world..."
Gaara replied firmly,
"You should know that, right? I also found out after going through hundreds of years of records in the village and combining it with your past hints..."
"How should I put it..."
Daimaru scratched the back of his head.
"Your talent is much better than I imagined..."
The Country of Wind covers a large area and is undoubtedly the largest country in the ninja world. The foundation is there and no one can deny it.
As long as the problem of harsh natural environment can be solved, not to mention comprehensive improvement, even partial optimization can achieve immediate results.
After the northern territory was recovered and the defenses of the Iwa ninjas were defeated, the military pressure dropped sharply. The development of the southern sea area injected fresh vitality into Sunagakure Village and even the entire Kingdom of Wind.
Although the influence is still very weak, like fire, the benefits are spreading to all aspects.
Not to mention the experienced senior management of Sunagakure Village, even ordinary villagers have truly felt the changes brought about.
In the entire ninja world, the first country to form the prototype of a great nation was the Kingdom of Wind.
Because of the harsh environment, even the slightly powerful men of the Warring States Period would not care about such a remote place. The long stretches of yellow sand were filled with all kinds of refugees, bankrupt businessmen, small craftsmen, refugees and other frustrated people with no livelihood.
The ancestors of the sand ninjas were a loose group formed by fringe characters such as losers, wandering ninjas, down-and-out samurai, and even bounty hunters and wanted criminals from the Warring States Period for nearly a thousand years.
It may not have been called the Land of Wind, nor the Sunagakure Village, but in other places, various ninja clans were still running rampant. When the Uchiha and the Senju were fighting for hegemony, the ancestors of the Suna ninjas had long been in this extremity. Developed its own national and civilizational characteristics.
In other words, Sunagakure Village is the oldest ninja village, and the Country of Wind is the first and oldest "emerging country" to be formed.
More than ten years before the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Sunagakure Village was already very powerful. If it weren't for the Uchiha family and the Senju family shaking hands and making peace, then there would be Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, two people who are really unmatched. Unparalleled power, maybe the sand ninjas who have just conquered the One-tailed Shukaku will approach the Fire Country and join the fight for hegemony.
