Time passed without a sound.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto had spent nearly a month steadily developing the Land of Waves.
The people of the Land of Waves were now brimming with enthusiasm. There were so many jobs that there simply weren't enough workers, and some people even took on part-time work in their spare time.
During this period, Naruto worked hard on his Chakra Nature Transformation while continuing to streamline the Land of Waves' government affairs.
He also discussed mechanical manufacturing with Sasori.
Sasori had long since been won over by the Iron Man Mark III armor blueprints Naruto had brought out.
Now, Sasori no longer wanted to return to the Akatsuki.
Rather than spend his days carrying out meaningless missions for the Akatsuki, he would much rather quietly study machinery and chip manufacturing in the Land of Waves, pursuing his ultimate art.
Naruto held nothing back when Sasori humbly sought his advice, promptly exchanging for a complete collection of artificial intelligence chip design blueprints.
Of course, with Sasori proving so useful, Naruto wasn't going to support him for nothing.
The Land of Waves was vigorously developing its industries and ports, and many large fishing boats and merchant ships were motorized.
Engine technology, however, was controlled by a handful of Great Powers. Since land-based machinery had barely developed in this world, things like engines were mostly used in maritime fishing.
But because they hadn't seen widespread adoption, the mechanical manufacturing supply chain remained incomplete. With an inadequate supply chain, engine production naturally couldn't keep up.
So Naruto wanted to take advantage of Sasori's time researching Gundams in the Land of Waves to establish an engine manufacturing supply chain as well. That would let Sasori truly shine there.
After a month of diligent study at Peach Mountain, Sakon,
