Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 191 I Want a Baby from Iwagakure

"Well done."

In the graveyard of Sunagakure, Yubi and Sasori stand side by side.

Looking at the people dressed in black, including Shimizu, who were silently mourning and bowing before a tombstone, I saw them.

But in fact, there were no remains of the deceased in the coffins in the cemetery.

The Third Kazekage had long been turned into a human puppet by Sasori, and now, through Yubi's machinations, he could finally openly display this puppet alongside the Third Raikage.

"Let everyone in the ninja world open their eyes wide and take a good look at his eternal art, to appreciate, marvel at, and praise it!"

Of course, Sasori's praise for Yubi wasn't just about this incident, but also about the enormous changes Yubi brought to Sunagakure.

Everything is unfolding according to Yubi's plan.

Looking across the entire Sand Village, only Sasori could speak to Yubi in such a tone.

In Scorpion's eyes, Yubi is simply Yubi.

Whether it's Fengying or not, it's just a title.

This was Sasori's second time returning to the village to rest, while Shimizu and the others were returning for the first time to pay their respects to the Third Kazekage.

"You did a good job too."

Yubi retorted.

At this time, Rasa was still in charge of the battlefield in the land of rivers, so the leaders of these armies could temporarily return to rest.

In a major battle, Sunagakure silenced the Konoha army—and made the entire ninja world realize one thing.

That is the present-day Sand Village. Besides Yubi, the Fourth Kazekage who first shook the ninja world, there is also a terrifying Kage-level fighter.

It is Sasori of the Red Sand.

The former twin stars of Sunagakure have unsurprisingly grown into the village's top fighting force.

Rasa, who also possesses a bloodline limit, is qualified to fight against Kage-level powerhouses, even though he has not yet truly reached the Kage level.

These three individuals alone are enough to make Sunagakure impossible for other ninja villages to ignore.

Moreover, familiar faces from Sunagakure, such as Chiyo and Ebizo, are still alive, and their influence remains.

This leads to a misjudgment of Sunagakure even by outsiders, who may believe that Sunagakure's military strength is weak and its population is small.

But with these three people around, the consequences and costs of fighting them to the bitter end are unimaginable.

In the subsequent battles, although the Sunagakure forces still clashed with the Konoha army in several rounds, the fighting was no longer too intense.

Because the Ninja World War had been raging for two years—Konoha's military strength had been severely depleted, and there were not many Konoha ninjas left to guard the war zone in the Land of Rivers.

A large portion of them were transferred away.

It can be said that after Yubi took away the prisoners of war from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, even though the two clans sent more members and Konoha launched a stronger counterattack in an attempt to regain face on the battlefield, it ultimately ended in failure.

Judging from the current situation, there is absolutely no possibility of returning the bloodlines of the two clans that were taken away by Sunagakure.

The Uchiha's newborn has already been born in Sunagakure, and there are also descendants of Hyuga Irie.

With Yubi's medical skills, getting a woman pregnant quickly would be no problem at all.

Newborns of the Bamboo Clan also appeared in the village.

"By the end of this year, after nearly three years, the village's expansion and restructuring will be completely completed—and then another year will be needed for the newly established policy systems to begin operating. After this Ninja World War ends, everything will be back on track—"

"From now on, I won't have much to worry about. All I need to do is lay a foundation—and then quietly watch the village develop."

Yubi smiled slightly.

"Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Konoha, and Kumogakure—the forces of the other four villages have been reduced to a certain extent. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to eliminate Konoha?" Sasori turned to look at him.

It is now the 49th year of Naruto.

He and Yubi are already seventeen years old.

Of course, Scorpion's appearance is forever frozen two years in the past.

It's no wonder that Sasori had this idea, because Konoha is in its most difficult situation right now—for the entire year, Konoha has been burning people like crazy in order to fight against Kirigakure.

Despite the fierce fighting between Sunagakure and Konoha, which sparked a major war that ignited the ninja world, the number of Konoha soldiers who died at the hands of Sunagakure was far less than the number who died in battles against Kirigakure.

Of course, people were also being burned in Kirigakure.

"It's not time yet—Konoha may appear weak on the surface, but it will still be extremely difficult to defeat it completely. Most importantly, the foundation I've built for the village hasn't truly matured yet. At this critical juncture, the focus should still be on development—"

Yubi said softly.

"I plan to recall a portion of the forces from the Land of Rivers, leaving only a few of you with a small number of Sunagakure troops to keep an eye on any unusual movements in the Land of Fire. This is also for the sake of the village's population—in order to use this Ninja World War to allow the village to catch up with Konoha and Kumogakure in terms of population size as much as possible. This is a plan that was conceived from the beginning."

"In other words, it's far from the time when we can go all in."

"As the fighting has progressed to this point, the rapid demise of lower-ranking ninjas on the battlefield means that the next battlefield will be the stage for the high-end and top-tier combat forces of each village."

Yubi said.

"What happens to your plan once the village has grown and expanded?"

Scorpion stared at his profile for a moment, then said indifferently.

"You understand me best—"

Yubi grinned.

"Don't worry, my grand plan is only just beginning. Everything you and I are doing now is just the groundwork—the 'game' that follows will definitely give you a lot of fun."

"How about we wait for Arai to come back, and then the three of us go to the secret base to have a chat?"

The secret base that Yubi mentioned was naturally the small sand dune outside the village.

"I'm not interested."

Scorpion, with a blank expression, spoke.

"I don't want to say it yet—"

Yubi's eyelid twitched, and he clicked his tongue.

Scorpion and his men stayed in the village for half a month before heading back to the front lines.

Yubi also ordered that most of the troops on all fronts in Sunagakure be recalled.

Not only in the Land of Rivers, but also in the border areas of the Land of Wind, they left some defensive forces to guard against the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village.

Despite the current cooperative trade between Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure, Yubi doesn't trust them at all; he's always afraid of the worst-case scenario.

If we completely let our guard down, we will inevitably encounter unexpected changes if we are betrayed.

However, judging from the number of grassroots soldiers remaining in the village, Sunagakure Village undoubtedly has the most!

However, when considering the number of civilians in the village and the population density of the country, Sunagakure undoubtedly still lags behind.

One day, inside the renovated and expanded Fengying Building.

Yubi sat in the spacious office, holding a small blue pill in her hand.

This is a new product he developed.

Although it looks like a specialty from a past life, its real medicinal effect is to significantly increase the probability of women conceiving.

In other words—it's a miracle drug for having children!

Now, the Sand Village ninjas outside the village have been returning one after another. Next, Yubi plans to use this drug to increase the number of newborns in the village.

Yubi knew all too well that after the Fourth Shinobi World War, their Sunagakure village's profits from medicine would be almost exhausted.

Therefore, he has already begun preparing for some other new drugs.

It is not a medicine belonging to strategic resources, but rather a different approach that has an absolute attraction for certain specific groups.

For example, there are medicines used for beauty and skincare, as well as the infertility treatment he has on hand—and naturally, there are also things that can boost a man's virility.

Even if other villages can produce generic drugs and have begun to harvest new batches of medicinal materials, in terms of product innovation and market development foresight—with Yubi around, outsiders can't catch up with Sunagakure at all.

"Kazekage-sama."

There was a knock on the door, and Maki, wearing a white headscarf, walked in and knelt on one knee.

"We received a letter from Iwagakure Village requesting to purchase a new batch of medicine from us. However, they asked if we could pay them on credit."

Maki said.

This means they're going to charge on credit.

Yubi was not surprised.

After all, Iwagakure's economic situation had been bad for a long time.

The funds of Iwagakure Village are not only spent on their medicines, but a large part of them are also depleted by other factors of the war.

Those are the things that will cost the most money.

The speed at which money is being burned far exceeds the speed at which medicine resources can be purchased from Sunagakure.

As for resource exchange, Iwagakure Village also maintained this arrangement for some time.

Now it seems that even the limited resources are no longer available.

"no problem."

Yubi nodded.

The village's factories have already increased their production capacity, and there is a considerable surplus of medicines.

"But tell them—I want a baby boy named Deidara," Yubi said.

"baby?"

"That's right, just reply to Iwagakure as I said—they know who I'm talking about."

Yubi gave the order.

After all, Deidara's body structure is quite unique.

"Yes."

Machi got up and left.

Deidara was born last year.

She's not even a year old yet.

Yubi's intention in taking Deidara wasn't to bolster the village's fighting strength.

Although Deidara will be a member of Akatsuki in the future, this guy is too rebellious. His personality shows that his pursuit of art far outweighs his loyalty to the village.

Yubi wanted Deidara simply to ensure that the guy's fate would no longer be intertwined with Akatsuki.

This will help his later plans—

Now, the other four great ninja villages have reached the point of being "bloodthirsty." Forced by circumstances, and given that he is just an infant, even if the Third Tsuchikage senses something fishy going on, he will probably agree.

Of course, Yubi felt that if he could nurture Deidara from a young age, change his personality, and make Deidara completely take root in Sunagakure.

That would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
