Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

"What do you mean, from Konoha?"

"Are you implying that your Land of Fire is so vast and abundant that everyone can afford ramen?!" Kyusuke retorted.

Haneda couldn't be bothered with this guy.

He didn't expect these ninjas, who were used to fighting on the battlefield, to come up with anything.

Otherwise, the world would not be dominated by daimyo in politics and economics, rather than by ninjas who wield power.

After thinking for a moment, Yahiko said:

"Is it because of trade routes? Konoha has restricted the export of goods like food, causing bread prices to rise?"

“That’s only one aspect,” Haneda said.

"Is it a problem with the road, Haneda?"

Suddenly, Nagato, who had been silently following behind Yahiko, spoke up.

"That's one aspect, but the answer is very close."

Haneda glanced at Nagato, who "didn't talk much, but always seemed to sense something."

It must be said that he is always very perceptive and remembered some of the things he had said casually before.

Haneda asked, "Do you remember the route we took to get here?"

"The roads were all muddy and dirty, and there were even no roads at all, so people had to walk on them."

"Such transportation is not convenient for transporting food, and the cost for merchants to sell grain from the Land of Fire is very high."

"But why would merchants be willing to take this route to sell grain?"

Haneda asked another question at the end.

Kyusuke, who has been following Haneda closely, thinks Haneda seems very serious and what he says makes a lot of sense.

But he didn't quite understand what he was hearing; it was all a bit confusing.

Xiao Nan didn't quite understand either. It seemed like she understood something, but couldn't quite grasp the key point, appearing to understand only vaguely.

As for Nagato...

He wouldn't try to steal the spotlight before Yahiko or Konan spoke.

Not long after, Yahiko said:

"Is it because they get paid a lot? Otherwise, the bread wouldn't be so expensive, and the price could go up at any time."

Haneda nodded in agreement:

"Yes, that makes sense. They're willing to come and sell grain because they can earn more money and there's something to make."

"Think about it, a bowl of ramen in Konoha costs sixty or seventy ryo, while a loaf of bread in the Land of Rain costs one hundred and forty ryo. What a huge profit!"

"With such huge profits, why are there still not many merchants willing to travel to the Land of Rain?"

When Haneda asked that question, in that instant, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato understood the crux of the matter.

That's the transportation cost!

Once costs decrease, the price of foods like bread will naturally come down.

Having lived here for so many years, Yahiko and his companions have a fairly clear memory of the price changes of foods like bread.

It fluctuates wildly, very unstable.

"Is this why you asked me before why we don't build bridges and roads?"

"Wow, Haneda, your vision is so lofty! You're addressing the problem directly at its root!"

"Haneda, how come your little brain is so smart?!"

Yahiko grabbed Haneda's shoulders and shook him excitedly.

Konan noticed Haneda's expression and lowered her head to chuckle.

Nagato remained silently standing behind Yahiko, but his smile deepened.

"Yahiko, why are you all so happy and excited?" Kyusuke asked, looking bewildered.

"It's the transportation cost! Once the transportation cost is reduced, the value of bread will naturally decrease, and more people will be able to afford food and won't go hungry."

"Once the roads are repaired and transportation costs are reduced, the price of bread will naturally decrease!"

Yahiko explained with a smile.

Haneda's method is simple, practical, efficient, and stable.

Once a road is built, it can be used for at least several decades.

If they can build a road, everyone on that road will benefit.

That way, we can help more people.

But something suddenly struck Yahiko's heart.

That was a war between two countries, a war that couldn't be resolved by building roads.

Thinking of this, Yahiko's excitement lessened considerably.

But he quickly rallied.

Achieving peace in the ninja world has always been his dream, and this dream can solve this problem!

"Yoshi!"

"Let's go! Konan, Nagato, Kyusuke, let's go fix the road right now!!"

Yahiko waved his hand and acted on his idea immediately.

"Haneda, do you want to come with us?" Yahiko turned back and asked Haneda with a smile.

"Okay. I happen to know a little bit of earth magic, which can be of help."

"Huh? I almost forgot I'm good at Water Release..." Yahiko suddenly squatted down and shut himself in.

"It's alright, I can teach you some simple earth-based techniques, such as making cement and quickly drying it," Yu Tian said with a smile.

"I can do it too, Yahiko." Nagato had full chakra attributes, so Earth Release was naturally no problem for him.

"Then let's go!"

Yahiko regained his confident smile; he knew some chakra nature transformations.

If you study earth-escape techniques diligently, you'll eventually learn them.

What really matters is not thinking, but doing!

At this moment, Kyusuke walked up to Haneda and whispered an apology:

"Mr. Haneda, I apologize for my previous rude behavior."

But he was met with a forceful push.

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

Haneda pushed Kyusuke away, and with a bang, the explosive tag on the kunai exploded, making a loud noise.

Seeing this, Kyusuke felt even more ashamed.

He drew his weapon and addressed the Rain Village ninja beside him:

"Go and protect Mr. Haneda!!"

At that moment, Yahiko recognized the people who attacked them.

It's those four Sand Village ninjas from yesterday!

"Yahiko, if we don't fight back this time and let them go, we'll die sooner or later," Konan warned.

She knew Yahiko's personality; in any incident like this, Yahiko would never hurt anyone.

Suddenly, a flash of blood-red light appeared, and all four members of the Sand Village were trapped in a genjutsu.

Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and Kyusuke looked over and saw a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe slowly rotating.

They understood that Haneda's illusionary control over them was only a matter of a moment!

"That's amazing! Haneda! I never knew you were an Uchiha ninja!!" Yahiko exclaimed excitedly.

"Haneda, you..." Kyusuke looked at Haneda with complicated emotions.

He was the one who doubted Haneda, he was the one who mocked Haneda, and he was the one who questioned Haneda.

But someone like me was saved by Haneda.

Kyusuke really didn't know how to face Haneda.

"Alright, we'll talk about the rest when we get back. We'll scare the children."

Haneda stood on a rock, looking down at the four Sand Village members, and asked,

"Who sent you, and what is your purpose?"

"we are……"

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!
