Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 108 Ready (Fifth Update)

Yubi pointed out the inappropriateness of fundraising after meeting the Third Kazekage.

This decision was ultimately rejected.

He gestured to the higher-ups to wait a few more months before making a decision.

But Fengying was really anxious—not only him, but also the other high-ranking officials, the leaders of these villages seemed to have no experience with markets and trade.

Even some members of the advisory group felt that Sunagakure's new industry was not well received in the ninja world.

Yubi offered no explanation for this.

It just made things clearer – apart from military affairs and some simple village management policies, these people weren't completely ignorant in other areas, but they were only half-baked.

At this point, even without understanding the market, as the village's Kage, the Third Hokage should remain calm and composed.

Instead of resorting to desperate measures like we are now.

Afterwards, Yubi continued to practice his escape techniques and hone his skills in chakra conversion.

Time passed slowly—Saori and the others trained a large number of medical personnel for the village. Moreover, thanks to the missionary work of Yubi, the hospital director, over the past two years, a new batch of graduates from the Ninja Academy, even those who did not have the qualifications to become outstanding combat ninjas, successfully became medical ninjas, which supplemented the village's number of medical ninjas.

It can be said that the expansion and new structure of the Sunagakure medical system are already taking shape.

It has gained some foundation.

Then, another two months passed.

The second and third batches of merchants sent out later brought good news.

Although they didn't sell all the medicines they carried, they sold most of them.

This is sufficient proof that the medicines from Sunagakure can be used as a valuable resource to exchange with other countries and villages.

This finally put the minds of the higher-ups, who had been suffering from sleepless nights for quite some time, at ease.

If they don't see any positive signs from the market, they might even start to doubt themselves – is their vision for the future of Sunagakure just empty talk?

Then, a few months later, the village's medicines that were intended for sale outside the village began to sell out.

That is to say, they have reached the point where they don't have to worry about selling them.

However, Sunagakure's own caravans, including some traveling merchants they cooperate with, are still relatively small in number, and they don't go to that many ninja countries and villages, so the market is still relatively limited—therefore, they don't earn much money yet.

But the village has already seen a return on investment—and after comparing the profits with the costs, the profits are quite substantial.

But the money wasn't immediately invested in the village; instead, it was used to purchase medicinal herbs—in preparation for the outbreak of war!

In Yubi's view, these were all small amounts of money.

To truly make Sunagakure's economy soar, it is necessary to make a fortune from the war.

"Kazekage-sama——"

One day, in the office.

As the shadow guard, Arai looked at the Kazekage, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The medicine is our village's own business. We've never needed the daimyo to invest a single penny. Now you're handing over a portion of the revenue to the daimyo, isn't that a bit—"

Arai hesitated to speak.

He didn't expect that Yubi would actually be right.

The daimyo seemed to have been keeping an eye on the village's new industry. Upon seeing the potential for profit, he immediately sent someone to contact the Kazekage, hoping to get a share of the profits.

Without giving any formal explanation, such as reasons related to financial management, they demanded that the village hand over the money.

-

And Fengying and the other high-ranking officials actually agreed.

In Arai's view, this was entirely a loss for the village's interests.

Of course, Sunagakure and the Land of Wind are one entity—the Daimyo has always provided financial support to the village. However, since the industry is just starting out, some of the profits have already been divided up. It wouldn't be too late to start distributing the profits after everything is mature.

"Besides, although it's said to be the village's industry, its current state is almost entirely due to Yubi's efforts. I just heard Saori say a few days ago that Yubi has not only been collecting information on medicinal herbs and disease categories from outside sources over the past two years, but has also been trying to make money. Otherwise, their research would have been difficult to carry out long ago."

Arai remembered Yubi's warning: once this happened, the daimyo would want it a second time, a third time—

This made Arai very uncomfortable.

"Yubi has indeed done a lot for the village—but it's all he should do."

Fengying nodded.

As for how Yubi makes money, they can guess without even thinking.

However, that's all in the past, as long as it doesn't involve the village.

"Even he has no objections—do your opinion matter?"

Kazekage said something that chilled Arai to the bone.

Or are you questioning my decision?

'

,

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became somewhat oppressive.

Arai's throat bobbed, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

He wanted to say that he was also a member of the village—but after seeing the stern look in the wind shadow's eyes, he ultimately didn't say it.

"Arai—you've been with me for many years, and I personally trained you, so you should know me well. I made you my shadow guard because I trust you enough. But lately—you seem to have changed a bit. You used to be much quieter—"

Fengying lowered his head and began processing the documents, saying in a deep voice, "Your job is only to ensure the safety of the Shadow. Other things are not matters for you to consider."

"sorry."

Arai took a deep breath, his expression returning to calm.

"You'll be moving up the ranks of the village in the future—but many things aren't as simple as you think."

Fengying offered another reassuring remark.

"Yes."

Arai responded, "Then, Lord Kazekage—if there's nothing else, I'll head out."

"Um."

Arai walked away.

He slowly closed the office door.

He stood outside the door, his hand still on the doorknob, motionless, silent for a long time.

On the other hand, after confirming that the outside market had begun to accept Sunagakure's medicines and that there was a good momentum for it.

Yubi led a group of people to accompany the caravan and travel to various parts of the ninja world to promote their products.

The main purpose is to conquer new markets.

He knows how to satisfy his partners and how to achieve a win-win situation for both parties.

Having mastered the marketing strategies and market thinking of his past life—at least in terms of negotiation skills, he was no match for these seasoned caravan members—

It's comparable to a board.

Not to mention, the village has already opened up some channels, and there have been cases in some areas where patients have recovered well after using the medication—these are the keys to unlocking other villages and countries.

It's time for him to take matters into his own hands.

Once the ninja world has a basic understanding of Sunagakure's medicines, then the next step is to kill the Kazekage!

Ignite the war.

He and Scorpion are almost fifteen years old.

In the original story, Sasori attacked the Kazekage at this age—

Everything was almost ready; the next step was the most crucial turning point.

"Of course, what also needs to be eliminated is—that great name—"
