Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 105 Luo Sha's Anxiety (Second Update)

Yubi appeared to be explaining the village's pharmaceutical industry chain plan to higher-ups.

In reality, he was also secretly observing the Third Kazekage.

Scorpion had been poisoning him for some time, but Feng Ying showed no signs of anything amiss on the surface.

His physical signs are perfectly normal.

However—Yubi glanced at the veins on the back of his hand, the veins of which had a bluish-black color that was difficult for ordinary people to notice.

The group discussed the topic of medicine for a long time.

With everyone seated, the meeting officially began.

Everyone offered suggestions regarding the "medicine".

Their huge market share in the future is foreseeable—with the number of people currently helping Yubi's research for free, and the small department in the hospital, they definitely can't fully exert their influence.

Therefore, the higher-ups planned to build a factory specifically for producing medicines within the village.

Yubi was naturally the person in charge.

Some suggested leveraging Sunagakure's political and diplomatic connections to reach smaller countries or villages with good relations with the Land of Wind, thereby further expanding the market.

In short, everyone was discussing it very enthusiastically.

But ultimately, the conversation all centered around one person.

That is the daimyo of the Land of Wind. Whether it is building factories or engaging in political diplomacy, the daimyo must be involved or provide financial support.

This immediately turned the originally lively atmosphere into something somewhat heavy.

The current attitude of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind towards the village is common knowledge.

Not to mention, the internal conflicts within the village have also reached the daimyo's ears—which will undoubtedly further exacerbate his dissatisfaction with the current leadership of Sunagakure.

"This is no small matter—I will go and meet the Daimyo myself," the Third Kazekage said after a moment's thought.

As long as the big name pays the money, everything will be easy.

In any case, as the third generation of the Shadow, he must give it a try.

Clearly, from now on, the village will focus all its efforts on the pharmaceutical industry, and everything else will have to wait.

Everyone knows which is more important and which is less important.

"I'll go with you," Chiyo said softly.

They must take a stand—to make the Daimyo take this matter seriously; it probably won't be enough for just the Kazekage to go alone.

Yubi chimed in a few words, but didn't say much more.

Because he knew very well that even if the Third Kazekage spoke eloquently and even brought the medicine to the Daimyo so that he could witness its effects firsthand, he would not receive any investment until he saw real profits.

After the Third Shinobi World War ended, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind immediately and drastically reduced the budget of Sunagakure, including the number of ninjas—which shows how stingy this Daimyo was and how unreasonable he was.

Yubi's gaze swept across the table, taking in the young faces—these were all newly promoted high-ranking officials, brought up from various institutions.

According to Scorpion's observation, some of them are still adapting to the way the third generation handles affairs.

After all, these individuals are not considered old powerful figures left over from the previous village—they are still working on getting to know the previous generation of leaders.

And now, he is one of them.

The conflicts in the village have largely subsided after a period of time, with the absence of him and Scorpion stirring things up in the shadows—at least not as intense as before, but the hidden dangers still exist.

Some hatreds are not so easily let go.

However, it is believed that this situation will soon be alleviated as the village's economic environment improves.

With money comes resources.

The discontent of ordinary people can be appeased with money and resources.

"I apologize, Lord Kazekage—it's not that I don't trust the village, but the medicinal herb data we've compiled is extremely valuable. If it's leaked, our pharmaceutical industry will completely lose its competitive edge. Therefore, I propose that this data be entrusted to Granny Chiyo for safekeeping. As for the prescriptions, they can be given to you, but they must be secretly kept by the village's Kage." After exchanging a few more words, as Yubi had expected, the Kazekage immediately demanded that he hand over all the research data to the village.

It seems that even the man who single-handedly brought about a new era for Sunagakure doesn't quite trust him.

That's just how Kazekage is—arrogant and only trusts himself.

No matter how much you do, you can't dispel his concerns.

This time, however, Yubi did not accept it readily.

He spoke directly.

Naturally, she didn't refuse.

Instead, they proposed an alternative solution.

For someone like Fengying, it's enough to let him grasp a portion of the documents and get a sense of their reality.

"Hmm—you're right."

Fengying nodded.

He was indeed a little anxious—but he was also afraid that something unexpected might happen to their grand plan for the future of Sunagakure.

He wouldn't feel at ease if the village didn't safeguard and protect such top-secret information.

Furthermore, from the perspective of the Kazekage, during his reign, Sunagakure was able to usher in an unprecedented period of glory, which would allow him to surpass the Kazekage of all previous generations in the village's historical status—he might even be hailed by the village's descendants as the founder who created a new pattern for the village. The Third Kazekage did not want any unexpected events to occur.

"I've read quite a bit of material on economics—just as you predicted, Lord Fengying, I'm definitely not cut out to be an economic advisor. So, after much thought, I decided to stick to my old profession, and I hope I haven't disappointed you."

Yubi laughed.

".————"

After listening, Feng Ying pondered for a moment.

When Yubi mentioned it, Fengying remembered Yubi's remarks about revitalizing the village's economy.

However, his reaction at the time clearly showed that he didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Yubi not only actually did it, but also made it such a big deal.

"You little rascal."

Fengying realized that Yubi was teasing him, but when good things happen, people are in high spirits, and Yubi has made such a great contribution—he had no choice but to admit defeat.

On the table, a person watched as everyone chatted away, their faces glowing, while remaining silent throughout.

It is rosary.

He was also deeply impressed by Yubi's achievements and had hope for the village's future.

But—his feelings at this moment were more complex.

He never considered Yubi a real threat. However, judging from the current momentum, once the Sand Village's industries take shape, it will reap the wealth of the ninja world as Yubi planned.

So—even though Yubi is eight years younger than him and not of the same generation, he will still be remembered in the history of Sunagakure and his prestige will reach an unprecedented level.

Not to mention, Yubi already had an excellent fan base—that is, he was well-liked.

Now, even the higher-ups look at him with new respect and admiration. His value, status, and importance to the village are something that even his greatest military achievements cannot match.

This is no longer a contribution on a single dimension.

"If Yubi were to compete for the Kazekage position—" A thought flashed through Rasa's mind.

The Third Kazekage is still not sure when he will abdicate, but it will be a long time before he does. By then, Yubi will have come of age.

As you grow older, the other person's resume, contributions, and even your perceived age will no longer be issues.

The Fourth Kazekage—it's very likely not him.

Upon realizing this, Luo Sha felt a pang in his heart.

What he was always wary of was Scorpion.

After all, Sasori's promotion to Jonin and Anbu squad leader was due to the village's exceptional promotion—he took advantage of special privileges.

There is no age limit.

Moreover, over the past year, due to his responsibility in handling village affairs, the Kazekage has placed great trust in and reliance on Sasori, all of which Rasa has witnessed.

Unlike Yubi, Sasori is a member of the Chiyo clan—who also has the potential to inherit the Kazekage's will and shares the same authoritarian personality.

Luo Sha stared at the smiling Yubi and fell into deep thought.

Even though Yubi didn't aspire to become a Shadow, his relationship with Sasori was well-known throughout the village.

"If I want to become the Shadow—I need to win over Yubi first—"
