Spring.
The Land of Wind was gradually becoming much warmer.
As for Sunagakure... after making it through the winter, the original plans were finally being put into action.
Ebizo's new hospital and Sunagakure's measures to prevent and control desertification; the reforms at the Alchemy Factory outside the village; the newly established Glass Factory and Cement Factory; and Baki's... Gold Prospector Workshop all had to be prepared as well.
But this gold prospector packaging... Why does this silhouette look so much like me panning for gold in the desert?
Rasa stared at the first batch of samples Baki had submitted in astonishment...
That handsome back, that astonishing aura, and the faint dusk rendered behind him—there was no doubt about it. Someone this handsome could only be him... the Fourth Kazekage—Rasa!
Although the figure in the picture wasn't as handsome as his real self, after all, he was a Kage who didn't photograph well, it was... obvious that they had already worked very hard.
What a pity. As the village's Kage, he probably wouldn't be able to get an endorsement fee from Baki.
He sighed. "What a shame."
"K-Kazekage, my lord, is there something wrong?" Hearing the Kazekage sigh for no apparent reason, Baki immediately asked nervously, "If there's anything inappropriate, please point it out and we'll change it at once!"
"It's still not handsome enough!"
"???"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's very good!" Rasa fake-coughed twice and said seriously, "Very good, very good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It's just that... Sunagakure's emblem must stand out. We need people to become familiar with Sunagakure and understand the Will of Sand passed down by our village. Although scamming... making money... making money is also important, promotion is currently an extremely important task as well."
Advertisements... had to be hammered into people's heads
