Kakuzu, looking nonchalant, approached Kisame.
What advice do you have?
Kisame had also noticed Kakuzu, who was dressed in the same outfit, and his shark-faced face revealed a cold smile.
He would have been fine if he hadn't laughed, but his laughter caused trouble.
"Mommy... it's so scary! I need my mommy!"
A little girl passing by saw the smiling shark face and immediately burst into tears, running towards her mother in front of her.
"I'm in a good mood today, I'll see you another day!"
Kakuzu patted the large scroll on his back, which contained all the money he had brought back from Yugakure.
Behind him were dozens of horse-drawn carriages loaded with various precious supplies.
There are medicinal herbs, rare materials, and all kinds of research instruments and industrial machinery and equipment!
This is relatively few; the Land of Snow has far more, after all, its technological level even surpasses that of the Five Great Nations.
These are all essential for a country's development. Fortunately, the Ninja World has already passed the agricultural revolution, and some countries have also gone through the industrial revolution.
Having readily available machinery saved Orochimaru a lot of trouble.
Why not just take it and use it right away without having to go through all the trouble of remanufacturing it?
After meeting Kisame Kakuzu ignored the people behind him and went straight into the village.
Anko and Guren also stepped forward to greet Kisame.
Since he was able to wear this outfit, it meant he had Orochimaru's approval, and from now on, he was one of their own.
"Hello, I'm Kisame!"
Putting other factors aside, Kisame is still very polite.
Although Anko and Guren were curious, they were too tired these days, so they exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then said goodbye.
"The ninjas who went to the Land of Hot Water have returned. What are the plans next?"
In the Golden Shadow Office, Pakura pushed open the door and entered, reporting to Orochimaru, who was processing official documents.
Orochimaru slowly put down his pen, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Let them rest for a few days, then go directly to the Land of Grass. I've already made arrangements there; we just need to bring them back!"
I guess I'll have to go there in person; the Box of Paradise can't be sealed and it's difficult to ship.
Crossing two major countries is indeed a long journey, and who knows what might happen along the way.
If some clueless ninja squad were to cause trouble, the Box of Paradise would be doomed before it even began.
"I'll go down and make the arrangements first!"
After saying that, Pakura left the office. He was probably going to be busy these next few days, and she, as his secretary, had to coordinate everything.
Moreover, she needs to personally receive and arrange for the visiting Daimyo, and a welcoming reception is expected to be held that evening.
If there's something to do, what's the point of having a secretary? As for when there's nothing to do...
Orochimaru also got up and went to the window, looking at the dark mass of people at the village entrance.
With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see the scene at the entrance of the village.
At that moment, he suddenly had an idea: if he could develop a sniper rifle like the Barrett, could he kill someone hundreds of meters away?
If you combine it with the Sharingan or Byakugan, wouldn't you be able to hit anything you want?
"We will have millet and rifles, and we will also have airplanes and cannons!"
He shook his head, dismissing the whimsical idea.
With a population, the next step is development. How much money can ninjas make just by taking on missions?
Since ancient times, clothing, food, housing, and transportation have been essential to people's livelihoods. As for clothing, given his two lifetimes, it wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire some fashionable clothes.
Especially for women's clothing, we should create a few brands with distinctive Northern Lands characteristics to set the trend.
Jeans, denim outfits, and stylish office uniforms.
Or sneakers, high heels, casual shoes, etc.
There are also essential items for women, such as perfume, handbags, and stockings.
We have what others don't, and we want to have even better things than what others have.
The manufacturing processes themselves are not difficult; the challenge lies in the concept and the underlying ideas.
Especially stockings. He might not understand other things, but an old pervert would definitely know a lot about them.
I may not be very knowledgeable, but I do have some experience in this area!
The fishnet clothing and stockings often worn by Chunin the Ninja World are actually made of a special material. They are not only cool and refreshing to wear and can prevent static electricity, but also have a certain degree of protection.
Otherwise, do you think people like Jiraiya and Itachi wearing mesh clothes are weirdos? They're not just for decoration.
Food is simple; the world's cuisine is developing quite rapidly, with all sorts of cooking methods available.
We could build a few food streets and develop a food delivery service, delivering right to your door.
Accommodation is even simpler, referring not only to the living conditions of local villagers but also to the resettlement of outsiders.
Like today, people who have just arrived in the Northern Lands can be allocated housing for free.
Once the population reaches 20,000 to 30,000, restrictions will be imposed, and immigrants who want to settle down will have to pay to buy property.
And not charging money doesn't mean not paying taxes. Are you expecting me to stay for free? Dream on!
If he reaches that level, his Northern Land City will truly deserve its name.
And don't be fooled by the number 20,000 or 30,000; if even one or two out of ten become ninjas, you'll be lucky.
That means two or three thousand ninjas are needed to participate in the power struggle among the Five Great Nations; otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the negotiating table.
As for tourists from outside the area, they naturally stay in guesthouses or hotels.
This aspect can be made more impressive; there's no need to worry about where to live—a Earth Release is a type of magic or technique) can solve that.
As for the final journey, as far as he knew, the Land of Snow already had trains, cars, and airships.
Trains can connect the east, west, north, and south, and each ninja village has some people who are unwilling to leave.
When Orochimaru builds the railway to all the ninja villages, running from north to south, wouldn't it be easy for him to go home and visit his family?
That would not only promote economic development, but also allow mineral resources and local goods from various regions to be transported to the Northern Lands.
They directly siphon resources from the other ninja villages to support the development of the Northern Lands.
In wartime, it can also transport troops and supplies to quickly support the battlefield.
However, we'll need to be careful with the maintenance of the tracks and trains; who knows if ninjas from other countries will cause trouble?
Besides trains, the Land of Snow has even managed to produce cars, and it looks like they're even trams—truly a one-stop solution!
Orochimaru could imagine that while the other Five Great Nations were still using horse-drawn carriages or walking, he was already driving a sports car and taking girls for a spin in the wilderness.
A bunch of country bumpkins who only know how to fight and kill, with powerful technology as their support, are not afraid of not being able to surpass others.
"To get rich, build roads first! The ancients were right!"
As for the final airship, that was truly high-tech; few countries in the Ninja World possessed such technology.
As long as the airship flies a little higher, ordinary ninjas can't do anything to you. This aspect definitely needs to be studied.
It's impossible to develop and use it on a large scale in a short period of time, but there's another way to get into the sky: hot air balloons!
This technology is even less sophisticated. Although it involves transporting fewer people or supplies, it's a game-changer compared to current warfare.
He wrote down all these plans one by one, and they've already piled up into a thick stack.
Many ideas are yet to be realized, but before they are implemented, there is one most important thing to do—to withstand the pressure from the Five Great Nations!
