Mukai met Yakushi Nonō's eyes and said calmly:
"What else could it be? Don't even mention a few small ninja villages, even the ninja villages of major countries..."
And who isn't cultivating killing tools?
Mukai a deep breath of dry air before continuing:
"Once our inclusive schools are established,
That would truly be the time when all children are allowed to choose their own future paths according to their own wishes.
It's too early to talk about this now.
The purpose of diverting water for farming is to enable more villagers in the Land of Wind to survive.
Establishing workshops and a trading system is a better way to make money.
Schools are where the seeds of the future are sown!
Yakushi Nonō adjusted her glasses and curtsied in a religious gesture toward Mukai.
"I, Yakushi Nonō, am willing to offer my loyalty to Mukai- kun."
Mukai's will is my everything.
Your will is the direction I will take.
Mukai helped Yakushi Nonō up and nodded solemnly:
I, Mukai, swear that I will never let you down.
I will do everything in my power to show you a whole new world!
" Nonō firmly believes this."
Yakushi Nonō responded with a smile.
Mukai then led Nonō back to the Oasis Workshop:
"Even with a lot to do, we have to take it one step at a time."
Let's report the first step of the plan to the village!
Yakushi Nonō asked in confusion:
"Will Kazekage support Mukai Xiangjun's grand plan?"
Mukai shook his head:
Of course I won't support it!
However, sometimes, even rejected plans have their uses.
Sunagakure
Kazekage Conference Room
"How could such a nonsensical plan possibly be implemented?"
That kid named Mukai is so arrogant and ignorant!
The Third Kazekage had just returned to the village when he was given a severe scolding by Elder Chiyo.
In the matter concerning Sasori, the Third Kazekage was in the wrong, and when Elder Chiyo erupted in anger and berated him, he could only endure it.
Fortunately, Elder Chiyo respected his status as Kazekage and did not make the conflict public.
However, at the subsequent Jonin meeting, Elder Chiyo's proposal left the Third Kazekage speechless.
"How could such an absurd plan possibly be implemented?"
Besides, the Land of Wind has been in such a barren state for hundreds of years.
Even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was powerless to help, so why should we, the Hidden Village, concern ourselves with this?
That ninja named Mukai, don't get too cocky just because you won the Chunin Ninja Exams!
This plan is impossible for the village to implement!
The village's finances have just improved; we can't afford to invest precious resources in such an absurd plan!
Elder Chiyo glared sharply at the somewhat guilty Third Kazekage.
Where is the kind old lady she was in front of Scorpion?
" Kazekage, since the village cannot carry out this plan,"
If Mukai kid himself, the village won't stop him, right?
Or is it that the village lacks even this much magnanimity?
Mi wants to implement this plan himself?
Water diversion? Farmland reclamation?
These are things a ninja shouldn't be worrying about.
Could it be that the kid wants to be a farmer?
After much deliberation, I decided that as long as the village didn't have to pay for it, I'd let that kid named Mukai do whatever he wanted!
The Third Kazekage tapped his fingers on the table and said:
"Since we're not using the village's resources, let them do whatever they want!"
However, as ninjas of the village, Mukai and the others couldn't delay the village's mission assignment!
Elder Chiyo's gaze relaxed slightly. She picked up her teacup, blew on it, and added seemingly casually:
"In that case, please inform Kazekage Daimyo."
These desolate sandy areas... Mukai me.
"Is it alright if we buy all this wasteland?"
The Third Kazekage didn't believe that Mukai truly had that kind of financial resources.
Based on his judgment, this Mukai was definitely a front put forward by Chiyo and her puppet families.
This plan is just to annoy him.
Anyway, they're all just desolate wastelands, so Elder Chiyo have spare money to spare and can do whatever they want with them!
These puppet families are really unreliable.
It's outrageous that they waste their money on such a wasteful endeavor instead of helping the village!
But then I thought about it again. This time, Mukai overpowered all the geniuses in Konoha, and even the experts from the Uchiha Clan lost to him.
Even with the help of Puppet Secret Technique, achieving such results still significantly boosts the reputation of Sunagakure.
This is also why the Third Kazekage acted as if nothing had happened after being publicly contradicted by Mukai Xiang.
Thinking of this, the Third Kazekage manipulated the Iron Sand to pour tea for the elders present:
"Everyone, this joint Chunin Ninja Exams is a testament to the strength of our Sunagakure."
The number of tasks delegated has increased by 20%.
We must cooperate sincerely and strive to complete these entrusted tasks successfully!
The major hidden villages are now fully preparing for war, and it seems that peaceful days will not last long.
Keep up the good work, everyone!
The other elders nodded in agreement, and even the bruised and battered elder of the Fusa Clan did not raise any objections.
He was cornered on clan grounds by Elder Chiyo and given a sound beating.
If it weren't for the Third Kazekage's intervention, things would likely have been very bad.
Because of the incident with Pakura, and now with the incident with Sasori, he has seriously offended Chiyo and the other puppet families, so they don't dare to show their faces at all.
He tried his best to act inconspicuous, but Elder Chiyo had no intention of letting him off the hook:
"Now that we've covered the rewards for the third generation, shouldn't we talk about the punishments?"
The Fusa Clan colluded with enemies to frame village ninjas and even leaked village secrets; it's only natural that they be eradicated completely!
The Fusa Rekiseki quickly explained:
I had absolutely no knowledge of either of these matters!
It's all because spies have infiltrated our clan for three generations! Our Fusa Clan is also a victim!
As a Ninjutsu family affiliated with the Kazekage, the Fusa Clan has not produced any outstanding ninjas for a long time.
However, they control many ninja tool workshops and resources, and have also formed marriage alliances with many nobles of the Land of Wind.
In order to consolidate his position, the Third Kazekage would naturally not abandon them.
He rubbed his temples and said to Elder Chiyo in a consultative tone:
Elder Chiyo, isn't that all in the past?
Stop focusing on Elder Fusa.
Wasn't your family planning to buy those abandoned oases and sandy lands?
Elder Fusa, you should transfer some to Elder Chiyo at the most favorable price as an apology!
That's the end of this matter. No one is allowed to mention it again!
Elder Chiyo ignored the Third Kazekage's tone, nodding as she took a sip of tea.
"It was Mukai kid, not this old woman like me."
However, I still thank three generations on behalf of that kid.
Since three generations have said so, I, this old woman, have no choice but to comply.
"Let's put an end to the matter of Ye Pakura and Sasori."
Before the Third Generation and Elder Fusa could breathe a sigh of relief, Elder Chiyo's voice rang out again:
"However, there's one more thing that needs to be fulfilled by the three generations as soon as possible!"
The Third Kazekage was enraged by Elder Chiyo's repeated demands.
His arm was unconsciously encased in Iron Sand filings. He slammed his fist on the table and roared:
" Elder Chiyo! You've gone too far!"
