Naruto: I am invincible in the ninja world with full favorability

"Uchiha Haneda will not be on this mission. Follow me to find out where to dig the tunnel."

Deidara followed, and as he walked he did not forget to look back and look at Scorpion with contempt.

Scorpion said lightly that it was childish, and Deidara kicked his feet in anger, and couldn't help but taunt back:

"Your eternal art, without any artistic beauty, will be blown up sooner or later. It can still burst into a moment of brilliance, huh!"

"You can't do it."

"That's because I didn't use my highest art C4 - Garuda! I once used this move to blow up a super large mine!!"

"You still can't do it."

"Baga! I have the Flying Thunder God Seal that Brother Haneda gave me before he left. I can defeat you in a minute!"

This time, Scorpion had nothing to say and followed the leader silently.

…………

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the policy drafted by Haneda and supplemented by the Shikaku Cabinet, the policy of popularizing high-yield grain throughout the country was circulated in most areas.

Half of the southern regions have achieved two harvests a year, while the northern regions are lagging behind with wheat only harvesting once.

It is expected that there will be another harvest across the country in autumn and winter when the temperature is not yet completely cold.

But for this period alone, the estimated grain income has exceeded last year’s total!

The nation's grain tax revenue is expected to nearly double this year, as commercial taxes fall slightly due to public-private partnerships.

However, judging by the current trends, Haneda is close to achieving its first five-year plan to eliminate hunger!

According to the polls conducted by the Anbu using illusion, Haneda has completely turned around in the hearts of the people.

Except for the upper-class businessmen and some politicians who are still extremely resentful, most of the lower-class people have gradually forgotten the daimyo and recognized the head of the country, Uchiha Haneda.

This is the case even though Haneda did not deliberately publicize it!

Of course, driven by popular support, My Struggle, published by Haneda last year, was successfully elected as the top bestseller in the Land of Fire!

The idea of ​​the new will of fire spread across the country.

Since the situation in the Fire Nation was very good after the reform, the Rain Nation actively learned under the leadership of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

They also had a cabinet system, public-private partnerships, and a planned economy.

Of course, there will definitely be resistance in the country, led by hereditary nobles and wealthy businessmen.

But under the cover of a bag of rice, all the reactionaries behaved themselves.

Payne also used drastic measures to transfer half of the country's capital into the national treasury.

However, in order to prevent the Rain Country from being besieged by other great powers outside the Fire Country, he did not directly abolish the daimyo like Haneda did.

Instead, he was controlled like a puppet.

The railway track connecting Konoha and Amegakure was quickly completed and opened to traffic half a year later.

With the deliberate assistance of the Fire Nation, about a quarter of the grain originally intended to be sold to other major countries was transported to the Rain Nation.

The other four great nations suffered, but prices in the Rain Nation, which had formed an alliance with the Fire Nation, were falling rapidly.

Driven by trade between the two countries, major factories have been recruiting workers on a large scale and the number of unemployed people has also dropped significantly.

Compared to last year, the lives of the people in the Rain Country have improved significantly.

Chapter 298 Changes in the Rain Country

Payne and Xiaonan walked in the town where they once lived.

They had met here, and here, with the help of Yahiko, they survived until they met Jiraiya.

"A lot has changed here. The streets are cleaner and there are no more homeless children."

Xiaonan held an oil-paper umbrella and looked at the changes around him, sighing.

"Yes. I imitated the welfare home system established by Haneda, took in many orphans, opened some cotton mills, and provided some simple jobs, so that they could learn skills and be self-reliant with dignity."

"Haneda originally wanted to allow them to attend school for free and receive education, but due to the conditions in the Land of Fire, he was unable to meet them. He could only implement the policy in Konoha and then expand it to the entire country."

"I will also follow his path and keep going."

As Payne spoke, a smile appeared on his stiff and cold face.

This smile made Xiaonan unforgettable.

She still clearly remembered that Yahiko's smile used to be like this.

"Yes, under Haneda's guidance, the Rain Country has changed a lot in just half a year."

"Although we have the assistance of the Fire Nation, if we continue along this path, we will eventually reach happiness."

Payne stopped suddenly. There was a bakery on his right.

Once, Yahiko came here with the injured Haneda.

At that time, Akatsuki also had a very capable and idealistic cadre named Hatosuke.

But later on, only Nagato and Konan survived from the original Akatsuki organization.

"The price of a loaf of bread is now fifty taels, which is 90 taels lower than nine years ago and 50 taels lower than last year..."

"Most wages have increased slightly now, and judging by the prices, the living standards of people here are obviously rising."

Payne said this and added,

"The prices in the Hidden Rain Village are lower than here, and the wages are higher."

Xiaonan looked at the price marked on the bread and was distracted for a moment.

If it weren't for Haneda's help, if it weren't for Haneda pointing in the right direction...

Is the Rain Country still that good now?

Nagato tried his best, but it took him seven years to reduce the price of bread to 100 taels.

And Haneda only took half a year!

On the way to transfer Kakuzu's assets, Konan also inquired about the current situation of the Fire Country.

Haneda established reporting telephone offices across the country and used the ninja's mobility to crack down on crime.

With the popularization of high-yield grain, grain production has increased by nearly one-fold.

Compared to the Rain Kingdom, the situation in the Fire Kingdom is only better!

Payne's voice came again.

"Xiao Nan, how is the preparation of the 300 million detonating talismans going?"

"For Yahiko's dream and for the happiness of the Rain Country, we must eliminate Madara for Haneda!"

Xiaonan's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and her expression became calm:

"I have already prepared 170 million. I am also arranging people to purchase it secretly, and I am also making it myself."

"The funding behind this is a problem. It will take at least five years to raise 300 million detonating talismans."

Pein asked in confusion, "Kakuzu doesn't have enough money?"

Xiaonan nodded and said with some helplessness:

“No matter how many tasks you complete, it is still not as much as a company’s annual revenue.”

"Kakuzu hasn't worked hard enough in the past few decades. He's wasted too much time doing low-level bounties."

Payne was thoughtful. When he was following Haneda's strategy, he had already realized that the ninjas were the exploited party.

No matter what kind of task it is, the one who gets the most benefit is always the person who issues the task.

Moreover, the work of a ninja is not stable, which is similar to the saying mentioned by Haneda:

Not open for three years, open for three years.

Even Kakuzu, who worked diligently in the underground gold exchange, only managed to raise a few billion funds over several decades.

It’s still not enough to buy 100 million detonating talismans.

Pein stopped talking about the detonating talisman and asked about Scorpion and Deidara:

"Has Deidara, the half-student of Haneda, parted ways with Sasori now?"

"You can go pick up Scorpion on the way. He is not Madara's man and is very important to our plan."

Konan nodded and said, "Scorpion is not in danger of life for the time being. Deidara and Scorpion get along very well. Deidara even calls Scorpion Master."

"It's a bit like the relationship between seniors and juniors."

As expected, Pein said, "Both of them like to discuss art. It seems that Madara had expected this."

"Let's go."

…………

In the autumn of the 56th year of Konoha, after Deidara blew up the tunnel and completed the train track, he returned to Konoha.

At the third training ground, a large white clay bird landed.

Deidara jumped off the big bird. He looked at Haneda who released the Dust Release and said in surprise:

"Brother Haneda has also learned the old man's Earth Dust Release? Hmm!"

Haneda turned around and said, "Long time no see, Xiaodi, has the Flying Thunder God Mark been planted?"

Deidara scratched his head awkwardly: "I forgot."

"Ahem...Brother Haneda, Master Scorpion is actually not a bad person."

"Although his eternal art is a bit strange, always obsessed with dancing on your grave, Brother Haneda."

"But he's still a pretty good guy, huh!"

Haneda looked at Deidara with a dark face, wondering if this guy would betray him again?

However, he had other plans, and Haneda had already made arrangements with Orochimaru.
