"If you really find him, do your best to meet all his demands, then send someone to Konoha to find me."
Rōsha immediately nodded upon hearing this. Torikaze's words were practically an imperial decree to him now.
After all, restoring Sunagakure to a lush green state was not something just anyone could accomplish.
"Rest assured, Lord Torikaze. I will do everything in my power and will not disappoint you."
Torikaze smiled faintly, very pleased with this.
Of all the Kage who had submitted to him, Rōsha was the youngest, the most obedient, and the easiest to control.
That was what Torikaze valued most, which was why he regarded Sunagakure so highly.
"Alright, does Sunagakure still need anything? Tell me, and I'll see if I have it."
Rōsha did not ask for anything else. He merely bought some seeds from Torikaze, all of them plants suited for windbreaks and sand stabilization.
Although Sunagakure was no longer ravaged by sandstorms, controlling the desert required expanding outward.
Otherwise, it would return sooner or later.
Torikaze greatly agreed with Rōsha's thinking on this matter. Living off one's reserves would eventually exhaust them.
The Land of Wind had been built atop an entire desert. If they wanted to keep expanding the village or the country, they could only try to control the sandy land.
They had to slowly restore the sand into soil.
The process might be very slow, but Sunagakure had already begun to see results.
The plants Torikaze sold were no ordinary plants. Their bodies contained vast amounts of energy, and once they had grown and eventually withered, their remains would dissolve into the sand.
One or two blades of grass would not achieve much, but with sustained large-scale planting, the desert would turn back into land within a few years.
With these
