Yahiko only bought a basket of fish, and Frog's wallet was completely empty.

He felt heartbroken for a moment, but when he thought of the smiles on the children's faces, he immediately forgot about the money.

"Let's go, they must be waiting for us."

"Yeah." Konan, Nagato and the others followed Yahiko silently.

Even Hatosuke, who had been keeping a close eye on Haneda, temporarily gave up his target.

Haneda was just a bystander, watching Yahiko and his friends purchase food, prepare delicious meals, and distribute them to the children who were either trapped in the war or abandoned.

He occasionally used medical ninjutsu to save some people.

In this way, the attitude of the Rain Village ninjas such as Hatosuke, who were originally hostile to him, towards him also improved a lot.

Haneda stood in the corner of the slum, silently watching the children wolfing down bread and drinking fish soup.

He couldn't help but think, what would have happened if Yahiko and the others hadn't continued to help these children.

So, how do these people survive?

Like Yahiko, Konan and Nagato when they were children, by stealing?

However, not everyone has the secret help of White Zetsu like Yahiko and his friends, otherwise they would have been beaten to death long ago.

You have to know that the Rain Country is not the peaceful era of his previous life. It is very chaotic here and no one cares about things like murder.

This is also the reason why Uncle Snake suggested killing Yahiko and the other two.

It would be a painful life for a powerless child to live in the Rain Country, so it would be better for him to be freed as soon as possible.

"What are you thinking about, Haneda?"

After Yahiko finished the tasks at hand, he thought about trying to win over Haneda, the excellent medical ninja.

Hearing the voice, Haneda retracted his gaze and looked at Yahiko and said:

"How long do you think you can help them?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just think it will be hard for them to survive in this world once they leave you."

"Hey, hey, hey, Konoha, do you think we are meddling in other people's business and showing excessive kindness?"

Hatosuke stared at Haneda for a long time and spoke immediately.

He didn't like people questioning Yahiko's authority.

"Don't be like this, Hatosuke. Haneda means well, otherwise he wouldn't have come to help on his own initiative."

Yahiko first comforted Kusuke, and then Haneda said,

"As long as I am alive, I will help them grow up to be self-reliant one day."

Looking at Yahiko's serious and determined look, Haneda felt a little bit of admiration in his heart.

"Your idea is right, but you can think differently."

Chapter 095: Building Bridges and Roads

"Change your thinking?"

Yahiko looked at Haneda in confusion.

Jiusuke also looked over inadvertently.

He wanted to know what tricks Haneda had!

"I spend about 60 to 70 taels for a bowl of ramen in Konoha, but a loaf of bread in the Rain Country costs 140 taels."

"It is normal for ramen to be more expensive than bread, but bread is more than twice as expensive as ramen. What do you think is the problem?"

Haneda simply talked about the price difference between Konoha, also known as the Land of Fire, and the Land of Rain, and then asked questions.

He always likes to guide others to think rather than tell them the answer directly.

Probably because doing so can make the impression much deeper.

"What do you mean, from Konoha?"

"Are you trying to say that your Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources, and everyone can afford ramen?!" Hatosuke asked back.

Haneda was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

He didn't even expect these ninjas who had been on the battlefield for years to come up with anything.

Otherwise, this world would not be dominated by daimyo in politics and economy rather than ninjas holding power.

Yahiko thought for a moment and said:

"Is it because of the trade route? Konoha restricted the export of food and other supplies, causing the price of bread to rise?"

"That's just one aspect," said Haneda.

"It's a road problem, right, Haneda?"

Suddenly, Nagato, who had been following Yahiko silently, spoke.

“That’s one aspect, but the answer is very close.”

Haneda glanced at Nagato, who "didn't talk much, but always seemed to be aware of something."

I have to say that his mind is always sensitive and he remembered some of the things he had said casually before.

Haneda said: "Do you remember what the route we took was like when we came here?"

"It's full of muddy dirt, the roads are generally dirty and messy, or even non-existent, and people have to walk on them."

"This type of transportation is not convenient for transporting food. It is very costly for merchants to sell food from the Fire Nation."

"But why would merchants be willing to take such a route to sell food?"

Haneda asked another question at the end.

Hatosuke, who has been paying attention to Haneda, thinks that Haneda seems very serious and what he says makes sense.

But he didn't quite understand what he heard and was confused.

Xiaonan didn't quite understand what he heard. He seemed to understand something, but couldn't grasp the key point. He didn't quite understand.

As for Nagato...

He would not try to steal the limelight before Yahiko or Konan spoke.

Not long after, Yahiko said:

"Is it because you get paid more? Otherwise, bread wouldn't be so expensive, and the price could go up at any time."

Haneda nodded and agreed:

"Yes, that's the truth. They are willing to come and sell their food because they can get more money and make more money."

"Think about it, a bowl of ramen in Konoha costs 60 to 70 taels, while a piece of bread in the Rain Country costs 140 taels. What a huge profit."

"With such huge profits, why aren't there many merchants willing to go to the Rain Country?"

When Haneda asked this question, at that moment, Yahiko, Konan and Nagato figured out the key to the matter.

That's the shipping cost!

As long as costs go down, the prices of foods like bread will naturally go down.

Yahiko and his family have lived here for so many years that they remember the price changes of food like bread quite clearly.

It goes up and down, very unstable.

“Is this why you asked me before why I didn’t build bridges or roads?”

"So you have such a high opinion of yours, Haneda! Solve the problem directly at the source!"

"Haneda, how come your little brain is so smart?!"

Yahiko grabbed Haneda's shoulders and shook him excitedly.

Konan noticed Haneda's expression and smiled secretly with her head down.

Nagato still stood silently behind Yahiko, but the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Yahiko, why are you so happy and excited?" asked Hatosuke with a confused look on his face.

"It's the transportation cost! As long as the transportation cost is reduced, the value of bread will naturally drop, and more people will be able to afford food and won't go hungry."

"If we improve the roads and reduce the transportation costs, the price of bread will naturally go down!"

Yahiko explained with a smile.

Haneda's method is simple and practical, efficient and stable.

Once a road is repaired, it can be used for at least several decades.

And if they can build a road, everyone along that road will benefit.

It can also help more people.

But one thing suddenly hit Yahiko's heart.

That is a war between two countries, and this kind of war cannot be resolved by building roads.

Thinking of this, the excitement on Yahiko's face diminished a lot.

But he soon picked himself up again.

It has always been his dream to achieve peace in the ninja world, and this dream can just solve this problem!

"Yoshi!"

"Let's go! Konan, Nagato, Hagusuke, let's go build the road now!!"

Yahiko waved his hand and did what he thought.

"Haneda, do you want to come with us?" Yahiko turned around and asked Haneda with a smile.

"Okay. I happen to know a little bit about earth escape, so I can help."

"Ah? I almost forgot that I'm good at water jutsu..." Yahiko suddenly squatted down and became withdrawn.

"It's okay. I can teach you some simple ways to use earth escape, such as making cement and quickly drying cement." Haneda said with a smile.
