Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 178 The Secret Technique of Sunagakure: Ultimate Lazybones

Yubi personally made a trip to Daming Prefecture.

After he left, the daimyo generously transferred all the funds originally intended for expanding the pharmaceutical factory to Sunagakure.

No one knows what Yubi and Daimyo talked about—he just left with a smile on his face.

Daimyo's sudden illness has improved, but it seems that he has not been completely cured yet.

With more abundant cash support, Sunagakure Village quickly began a vigorous construction project—not only Sunagakure Village was mobilized, but all the villagers were called upon and mobilized.

The entire village of Sunagakure participated in the expansion and renovation project.

To this end, Yubi, as the Fourth Kazekage, personally contacted some small countries that were on good terms with Sunagakure, including some countries that had established drug sales channels with Sunagakure. By recruiting and hiring their craftsmen and technical talents, he helped the village complete the project as soon as possible.

During this period, Sunagakure Village was in a state of chaos almost every day, with villagers working in shifts day and night to carry out construction projects.

Yubi was also extremely busy.

In addition to making demands and designing new houses and buildings in Sunagakure, he also has to decide the functionality and positioning of each piece of land within the expanded village.

For example, which area should be designated as a recreational area for villagers' daily leisure activities; which corner of the land should be used to build new institutions, etc.

You need to have a clear idea of ​​these things in your mind.

In addition to construction projects, Yubi is also actively addressing the issue of "population introduction".

Under his "threat," the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Wind was also pushing some civilians within its borders to relocate to Sunagakure Village, and the welfare benefits offered by Sunagakure Village were undoubtedly very tempting for these people at the bottom of society.

Therefore, residents of the Land of Wind come to Sunagakure almost every day.

Yubi also organized a special screening team to ensure, with the cooperation of the Daimyo Prefecture, that the people who settled in Sunagakure had clean backgrounds.

The reason why Yubi only created a "population siphon" effect in the Land of Wind was to pave the way for the "talent introduction" plan - the first step was to target the people in the country and bring them to Sunagakure to increase the village's population base, so that the mechanism could start working.

Once we're familiar with the whole process, we can try introducing people from outside the Land of Wind.

First of all, the people within the Land of Wind are definitely relatively safe—while people in other countries or villages are also at risk because the investigation is somewhat difficult.

Therefore, Yubi does not plan to attract outsiders to join the village for the time being.

Let's talk about it after this Ninja World War ends.

However, some key talents remembered are not included in this list.

Although the Land of Wind has a small population, if it can be centrally managed and provided with a stable and safe life, the birth rate of Sunagakure will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Because it's not just the Land of Wind; in all five great nations, there are instances of people being "eliminated" from the lower classes. For example, they might encounter bandits, robbers, or simply become refugees, living in harsh conditions. Due to these and other factors, a portion of the population in these nations is unable to continue their lineage and dies prematurely.

This is equivalent to wasting a portion of the demographic dividend.

The Land of Wind already has the smallest population, and Yubi Nature is even more determined to change this situation.

Of course, for the five great ninja villages, expanding their population is not something they can do at will—the decision-making power in this matter depends more on the Daimyo's (Daimyo's) will; they can only expand their population if the Daimyo gives his approval.

Given that the daimyo is currently under control, this is obviously not a problem for Yubi.

In addition to these two things, the expansion of the Ninja Academy and the hospital has also been put on the agenda.

These two institutions are what Yubi cares about most.

This is also the foundation for the future of Sunagakure.

Enriching and refining the systems and management of the two institutions is also a problem he thinks about every day.

There are also two new pharmaceutical factories to be built after the village's expansion.

In short, Yubi has too many things to do.

He gets to work the moment he opens his eyes, handling all sorts of tasks, and even wishes he could save time for eating and sleeping.

The daily expenditures of Sunagakure Village are particularly glaring.

Under his extravagant leadership, money was spent like water—the higher-ups, led by Chiyo, lived in constant fear and excitement.

The work is in full swing in Sunagakure Village.

The fighting outside the village was equally fierce, with battle reports pouring back to the village every day like snowflakes.

First, under the combined attack of Iwagakure and Konoha, Kumogakure is in decline. Part of the border area of ​​the Land of Lightning has been completely occupied by Iwagakure, and it seems that the Fourth Raikage will have difficulty taking back the land from Onoki.

The reason is simple: Iwagakure's abilities on the battlefield far surpass those of Kumogakure.

Even with the innate advantage of being familiar with the battlefield environment, the Cloud Village could not withstand it.

What Iwagakure relies on is the medicinal resources of Sunagakure.

It should be noted that the military strength of Kumogakure is in no way inferior to that of Iwagakure, and may even be stronger.

The Fourth Raikage had even more men than Onoki, yet he still couldn't repel or drive them away. This wasn't due to the difference in their status as "Kage".

Although the Fourth Raikage was slightly weaker than the Third Raikage and ascended to the position earlier than in the original story, he still possessed Kage-level combat power. However, he lacked combat experience and was unable to defeat the cunning Third Tsuchikage.

But the most fundamental problem is that the medicines from Sunagakure play such a crucial role on the battlefield that they cannot be ignored.

This allowed Iwagakure to demonstrate a formidable level of combat prowess, even within the territory of Kumogakure.

Despite the fact that the medical resources were developed by Sunagakure—in terms of their combat application, Sunagakure's superior medical system made it difficult for Konoha to cope. However, in terms of the overall boost to the army, Iwagakure did an even better job than Sunagakure.

Because Iwagakure has a larger force and consumes more medicine, the sheer size of its forces makes the value of medicine more fully realized on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the Land of Rice Fields, the Cloud Village forces, led by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Brubi, were driven back to the border of the Land of Lightning by Konoha. Under this urgent situation, Yubi guessed that the Cloud Village, which had been forced into a desperate situation, was very likely to release another tailed beast into the battlefield.

As for the method of deployment, that depends on what the Fourth Raikage chooses.

Another battlefield that Yubi is particularly concerned about is the battle between Kirigakure and Konoha.

Because—the Hidden Mist Village suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Hidden Leaf Village without any warning, and it attacked the Land of Fire from the border of the Land of Frost.

The coastal areas of the Land of Fire were also invaded by a large number of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) forces.

Not only in the Land of Fire, but Kirigakure also took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Land of Lightning.

This former troublemaker truly lived up to his name.

In short, the ninja world is now in complete chaos, with all sides fighting fiercely.

Of course, the Sand Village was also fighting.

Compared to the other factions' furious outbursts, Sunagakure seemed more like they were just going through the motions.

Apart from the initial strong presence of Sunagakure at the beginning of the Fourth Shinobi World War, which stole the spotlight, they gracefully disappeared.
