Transporting steel for the construction would be a bit troublesome, though. If they simply tore it down from within the Land of Rain, it might draw the attention of certain interested parties.
Ronglin considered which choice would be better.
Should they transport building materials all the way from Konoha, or dismantle some buildings directly within the Land of Rain?
After all, there were countless abandoned houses and other structures throughout the Land of Rain. Dismantling a few at random would provide more than enough materials to build the cultivation base. Transporting them from Konoha was troublesome, but sourcing them locally could easily attract attention.
Konoha causing trouble within the Land of Rain would definitely give people from other villages plenty to speculate about.
"Fine. We'll keep things steady for now and use the latest materials once everything has stabilized."
After giving it some thought, Ronglin decided to have people tear down the abandoned buildings nearby and use the materials to construct houses. As for being discovered, so be it. The Land of Rain had little value anyway; even if they were discovered, no one would say much.
The Land of Rain was like chicken ribs—too regrettable to throw away, yet difficult to swallow. People wanted to discard it, but could not quite bear to.
If Konoha stirred things up here, the other countries would not react too strongly. At most, they would make a few remarks before turning a blind eye.
Only the Land of Rain, with its terrible environment, would be treated this way. If it were a country like the Land of Iron, the other great nations would probably be unable to sit still immediately.
For now, they would use salvaged old materials for construction. Once everything had stabilized and Konoha had taken control of Amegakure, they could
