Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Over the next few days, Yubi began working at the hospital while also studying in depth the intelligence about the Land of Wind that the village had sent him.

Basically, they all involve economics.

After seeing it, Yubi could only sum it up in one word: tragic!

In terms of population, military, economy and other related developments, everything is sluggish.

Because these aspects are all interconnected and difficult to separate... The Second Shinobi World War has officially ended for more than two years, but in these two years, the village's birth rate has been quite low. This is not only because a large number of people died in the war, but also because the atmosphere and environment in the village are not good, which has led to a decline in marriage and birth rates.

This is a biological instinct... If Sunagakure were thriving, the situation would definitely be different.

Although the villagers would intentionally have more children for the sake of the village, the number has decreased far too much compared to the time when the Second Kazekage was in power.

Not to mention, although the Land of Wind has a large territory, its population is among the smallest of the five great nations.

"The Third Shinobi World War is just a few years away... The village will suffer another round of losses. According to the current timeline, by the time the Konoha 11 are born after the war, Sunagakure will be completely unable to keep up with Konoha's population growth. Most of the Konoha 11 in the original story were born in 1951, which means that if Sunagakure wants to revitalize quickly, the population problem is more serious than the economic one... We must find a way to get the villagers to have children... But economic factors are also very subjective..."

In the hospital office, Yubi was flipping through documents, her face full of worry.

To say that he is quite skilled in cultivation is due to two factors: firstly, the natural environment and system that fostered it, and secondly, his deep understanding of this aspect of the original work.

But when it comes to handling political affairs and the economy, the only thing he can rely on is what he saw and heard in his previous life…

Having lived two lives, he should be far ahead of others in terms of experience and thinking.

Since it's not wartime now, the hospital's pressure has been greatly reduced, and he, as the hospital director, isn't as busy as before, so he has some time to study and research materials.

His appointment as hospital director was generally accepted not only by the top management but also by the hospital staff and villagers.

There was no resistance.

Meanwhile, in the large Sunagakure forces at the front lines, Saori, who was originally his superior, has now become his subordinate and is also part of the hospital's management.

Yashamaru, too, is responsible for routine medical care at the hospital.

"Tsk..."

Yubi then looked through the industries related to resources within the Land of Wind, and found them to be pitifully few.

The document lists some of the minerals that exist within the territory, but there are only a few types... These are all minerals that can be directly used for daily life or sold. Some can be easily mined and refined, but the amount of money that can be obtained from them is not much.

Because of the limited industrial and technological level of this world, most of the trade relies on itinerant merchants, and many minerals cannot be utilized. The environment within the Land of Wind is also relatively harsh, so there are not many merchants who want to travel to other countries or come here from other countries, resulting in a small trade market in the Land of Wind.

In short, from all perspectives, the economic situation of the entire Wind Kingdom is stagnant.

No wonder... Later generations like Luo Sha were completely clueless about this and had no way to break the deadlock.

"Given the current state of this world, there must be some minerals of value that others haven't yet discovered... We should find some mineral samples from the villages to identify them, or simply buy them from other daimyo who don't know their value. However, even if we don't understand some minerals, with our current industrial capabilities... we can't utilize many of the minerals we are familiar with. In that case, the Land of Wind... has the most useless sand."

"In a short period of time, if we want the village to make a lot of money... it must be something that the outside world needs, something closely related to daily life or the battlefield... The most obvious one is military supplies. Military resources are indispensable for any country or village... such as ninja tools, which are consumed at an alarming rate," Yubi analyzed.

However, considering the village's current situation, the daimyo only provided Sunagakure with basic funds to keep it running and did not invest any more money...

Moreover, Sunagakure is not particularly skilled in manufacturing ninja tools. If they want to develop this business, they not only need to invest a considerable amount to seize the market, but also need outstanding craftsmen, especially skilled ninja craftsmen.

Not to mention... in the current ninja world, the ninja tools of the five great nations are basically outsourced to Takumi Village. Even the Land of Iron is famous for producing samurai swords and other weapons. It's too difficult for Sunagakure to get a share of the pie.

Yubi put down the documents in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Even as a transmigrator with the experience and knowledge of his previous life, he still found it difficult to utilize his abilities due to the current level of development in this world and other factors, leaving him somewhat helpless.

The situation in Sunagakure was far more difficult than he had anticipated.

"Moreover, developing some projects vigorously will take time... The beginning of World War III is not far away. That guy Sasori has been working hard to push forward the plan. If in a few years... our plan has not made any progress, given his personality, he will not have the patience to wait any longer."

"So... the Third Shinobi World War will still come as scheduled. Moreover, in my own plan, Sunagakure needs this Shinobi World War to 'renew itself'... ideally, to make a fortune from the war. In this way, the death of the Kazekage... will not only solve Sunagakure's long-standing problems, but can also serve another purpose."

"This leaves me with only two paths. First, I can use the system to get rich and, with the help of certain abilities, without having to consider the time factor, see if there is a resource similar to the Gold-Gold Fruit in One Piece that can directly produce gold and can be used as hard currency."

"The second path is to pursue a monopolistic industry. If we want to completely change the village's economic situation, only a monopolistic industry can satisfy us. Other small-scale operations are just a temporary solution and do not address the root cause."

What industries are currently unavailable in the ninja world, yet considered "necessities," that Sunagakure can still produce and form a massive industrial chain for?

Other methods seem a bit too unrealistic at the moment... If he wants to find a breakthrough, he needs to first understand the "cards" he and the village hold.

As I was thinking, time passed by unnoticed, and it got dark outside the window.

whoosh…

A dark shadow seemed to flash past the window.

Yubi snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at it.

He knew it was a scorpion.

"War profits... Heh, let's do it the way we want... Didn't we already start planning this? Our current capabilities are our greatest asset, let's turn them into money first."

Yubi's eyes hardened, and she chuckled softly.

He had long had some ideas about revitalizing the economy of Sunagakure.

But now, he wants to do... more.

Currently, the external environment and time constraints do not permit it.

Let's proceed with the original plan...

However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the situation in the Land of Wind and Sunagakure, Yubi had to admit that it was indeed a mess.

From this perspective, it's quite remarkable that Luo Sha in later generations was able to barely sustain the village by relying on gold placer resources.
