The sky is clear today.

Riding on the top of the Xuzuo Nenghu, overlooking down, the entire Shayin Village stands like a human treasure in the wind and sand in this barren desert.

Occasionally, a few green cacti or a few clusters grow in clusters, becoming a rare green landscape among the undulating sand dunes.

The view is as far as the eye can see.

"This place is the complete opposite of the ocean."

Ino stood beside Bai Yu and couldn't help but sigh after taking in the scenery in front of him.

"Whether it's a thing or something, there are always two sides."

Bai Yu explained with a smile:

"Although the living conditions in Shayin Village seem to be difficult, the people here still rely on their intelligence and talent to ignite the flame of human civilization in it."

"It's not easy!" Hei Tu sighed lightly: "Although our Yanyin Village is also barren, it is far less difficult than the conditions of Shayin Village. ”

Naruto smacked his tongue and said:

"I've never seen an ocean before!"

However, what Bai Yu said just now made Naruto and the others fall into thought, and they kept reminiscing and chewing.

Naruto sighed inwardly.

is worthy of being the eldest brother he recognizes.

To speak is to be literate!

"Naruto, you are now a shinobi, when you come to the Uchiha Ninja Village on a mission, I will take you to the center of the sea, but this time, I can take you to meet the sea!"

Bai Yu then smiled:

"The conditions in Shayin are a little harder, but after they get used to it, the suffering will be much less."

"Really?"

"Well, I never lied to you!" Bai Yu really doesn't think he is a master of painting cakes.

"That's great!"

When Naruto saw Bai Yu promise himself, he was so happy that he flew up, and his whole person jumped up in the middle of Suzuo, without the slightest sign of fear of heights.

Ino asked, "Hehe, these days, the weather is so good, let's take a stroll in Shagakure at night and appreciate the customs of Shayin!" ”

"That's fine."

Bai Yu smiled: "But I have to leave something on you." ”

said.

Bai Yu raised his right hand and floated the Flying Thunder God Mark in the palm of his hand, leaving a mark on Naruto, Ino, and Black Earth.

This is also to prevent accidents in the near future.

Who knows.

Will Payne take this opportunity to grab the Nine-Tails, but it is unlikely that it will happen, but it is still necessary to prevent it in advance.

"Then Bai Yu, where are we going now?"

Kuroto asked with a grin.

"Take you guys to the Uchiha!"

"Ah, Uchiha?" Naruto suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not very far from the Uchiha, but if you go to the Uchiha, can I see Sasuke?" ”

This guy really still has a crush on Zuosuke.

Bai Yu added, "It's to go to Uchiha's industry in the sand! ”

As he spoke, they reached a large desert area enclosed by steel wire to the south of the sand.

……

……

Sand Hidden Intelligence Contact Center.

Jiraiya, Kakashi, Onoki, Thunderkage, and the elders of the three major ninja villages respectively borrowed the contact eagle of Sungakure to pass information on their ninja villages.

The main thing is to inform the ninja village, send the first money to the Uchiha for the purchase of ninja equipment, and then start forming their own special forces.

Possessing these ninja equipment can make the strength of a large number of ninjas to a higher level, and this kind of resource must be arranged together.

A few people finished taking care of things.

Let's go back to the Kazekage Building together.

"Tsuchikage-sama, I was shocked to see you seeing the lightsaber before, and now that we have all purchased this kind of ninja equipment, there is no information gap, can you tell me, for what reason?" Lei Ying Ai showed a curious expression and looked at Onoki with a serious expression.

"Heh......" Onoki smiled, then glanced at the silent Jiraiya, and saw that the other party had nothing to say, so he immediately teased: "You should ask Hokage-sama about this matter!" ”

Thunder Shadow immediately looked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya said with disdain in his heart: "It's really despicable, knowing that Konoha is sad about this matter, he actually wants me to unravel this scar myself." ”

"It's not a secret that can't be told." Jiraiya said calmly: "This batch of weapons made by Uchiha came from our Konoha, and this weapon that appeared for the first time in the ninja world was created by the second generation Hokage-sama Senjuma. ”

Lei Ying suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So, this is equivalent to the weapon used by the second generation Hokage?" No wonder...... No wonder ......"

Thunder Shadow was shocked.

At the same time, I saw a not-so-pleasant expression on Jiraiya's face.

Who is left with this kind of thing.

No one can be happy.

's own technology, as a result, has been carried forward in the hands of other ninja villages, who can be happy.

But no matter how unhappy he is, it's useless, but he can only comfort himself in his heart, after all, this weapon comes from Konoha.

While chatting, everyone returned to the Kazekage Building and returned to their respective reception offices.

There is no existence of Bai Yu.

Jiraiya, Onoki, and Thunder Shadow found that the atmosphere they were in together was a little awkward.

Basically, they don't take the initiative to talk to each other.

Lei Ying got along with this group of old guys, and suddenly felt that the feud with Bai Yu for robbing the fishing ground was nothing at all.

Let's talk about Onoki.

In the third ninja war, Ai's old father, the third generation of Lei Ying, was beaten to death by tens of thousands of ninjas in Iwakure.

This is a real revenge for killing my father.

Moreover, it was the third ninja war, and when Ai and Bi first debuted, they were suppressed by the fourth generation of Konoha Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate.

This level of hatred.

It's not at all that Yunyin can compare with the Uchiha now.

Didn't think about it that much.

Although nowadays the Union.

Ai didn't want to stay with these guys longer, compared to Onoki and Jiraiya, he saw Bai Yu as if he was a brother.

After all the things that Thunder Shadow had to deal with in Shayin, he immediately wanted to return to Yunyin to make the next strategic deployment against Xiao's organization.

And Onoki is the same, last night he discussed with Heitu that he would return to Iwain, and confirmed with the other party again whether to follow him back to Iwain.

The black soil finally came out.

Naturally I don't want to go back.

Onoki followed the previous agreement with his granddaughter, and specially told Bai Yu that since Kuroto still wanted to live in Uchiha for a while, he would trouble him to take care of it.

Bai Yu agreed neatly under the various eye prompts of the black soil, and when he left the sand this time, he would send the black soil to the Uchiha first.

The entire guest house was left only by Jiraiya, and was summoned by him to the bedroom and Kakashi.

"Sir, aren't you going to pack your things?"

Kakashi wanted to go back to the bedroom to pack his things and wait for Hakuyu to return with Naruto, and then follow Jiraiya back to Konoha.

When suddenly summoned, Kakashi smelled something was wrong.

He finally had a day off.

I was still thinking about waiting for the funeral of Chiyo's mother-in-law to end, and then go back to Konoha to rest for a while.

"Come Kakashi, you sit on the bed!" Jiraiya pulled out a chair from under his desk and sat on the side, looking at each other.

Kakashi scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, "No need, my lord, I'll just stand for a while." ”

For the sudden politeness.

He was a little flattered.

"That's fine." Jiraiya looked at Kakashi, his tone was a little majestic, and he said solemnly, "Kakashi, what direction do you think we Konoha should develop in the future?" ”

Kakashi's heart trembled, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and laughed, "This...... Adults, you just have to make a decision, and you don't have to ask me about such a small role. ”

"No, Kakashi, be serious, you're Konoha's elite shinobi."

"Yes!"

Kakashi immediately straightened his waist and replied solemnly, "I think that with the current situation in the ninja world, Konoha should continue to maintain neutrality in dealing with the contradictions between other ninja villages, and fully support the confrontation against the Akatsuki organization. ”

After Kakashi finished speaking, his heart suddenly became tangled, and countless thoughts surged in his heart.

If Jiraiya-sama suddenly wants to pass on the Hokage's position to me, how should I refuse?

What a headache!

"That's what it looks like."

Zilai also nodded with satisfaction, and sighed lightly: "I am the master of Watergate, and you are a disciple of Watergate, and you do give you a lot of care on weekdays, so ......"

Said here.

Kakashi swallowed, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he prayed inwardly that he would not ask the Hokage to take the position, he still felt that he was not up to the position.

"So, this time you're going to return to Konoha alone!"

"Well, you called me here for this?" Kakashi thought about it carefully, and then realized that something was wrong, so he said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to take Naruto and leave Konoha with you?" ”

"Well, it's for this matter, otherwise do you think that I called you over to pass on the Hokage's location to you?"

"No, no, no."

After hearing this, Kakashi quickly shook his head, and sighed in his heart, isn't it, can he see through himself?

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Jiraiya once again regained his serious expression, and advised: "This time you go back, I only have one task to give you, that is, before I return to Konoha, all the big and small things in Konoha will be handled by you to assist Lord Lujiu." ”

Kakashi laughed and said, "No, it's not, Jiraiya-sama ......"

Although it is not to teach the position of Hokage.

But how could the smart Kakashi not think that Jiraiya also wanted to cultivate himself and train him to become the next generation or the next generation of Hokage.

O iniquity!

Then once he goes back, he will have to go to work, and then he will stay in the village for no knowing how long.

"Don't worry." Jiraiya smiled: "I will help you find a successor soon, two months at the latest, trust me." ”

Kakashi lamented, "My lord, before you come, you can tell me that after you find those kidnapped colleagues, you can give me a vacation!" ”

"Huh...... Didn't you use this holiday to say goodbye to Granny Chiyo? ”

Kakashi: "......"

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Okay, after you return to Konoha, then rest for two more days, and then go to Lujiu to report." ”

Kakashi knew that this matter must have been discussed with the Hokage advisor and Shikaku, and no matter what he chose, someone would come forward to convince him in the end.

"Alright, Jiraiya-sama, I'm really not good enough to carry this burden."

Kakashi raised his hand and tapped his forehead.

"What's this, you have to have a dream to be a man, Kakashi!" Jiraiya smiled: "There are many guys in the ninja world who are younger than you to become a shadow, Kakashi, you have talent in this area, after all, you are a student cultivated by the water gate, okay, don't talk nonsense, you go back, I won't leave here tomorrow." ”

Kakashi bowed, returned to his room, and began to pack his things.

"Hokage?" Kakashi sighed softly, and the mention of this position brought to mind the faces of his two former closest companions.

One yells all the time that he wants to be Hokage.

One haunts him, always comparing himself to him.

……

……

The Land of the Wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

It's still spring in the ninja world, and the hot sun scorches the desert at noon.

The southern region by the sea.

The yellow sand dunes here are stacked and undulating, and the dry air is almost breathless.

Being in this kind of area is like walking in a sea full of yellow sand, and every breath you take seems to be inhaling fine gravel.

Bai Yu led everyone to the center of the barbed wire, and finally found traces of a large iron convertible factory built by people on the edge of the desert near the sea.

And near those large factories, it seems that desert towns inhabited by humans have spawned.

"Bai Yu, this is the land you told us a long time ago that the Uchiha owns in the sand?"

Ino looked at the town and asked curiously.

Black Earth suddenly came to his senses.

When Bai Yu took her back to Uchiha, she sat on the boat, and she also looked out at the country of the wind, and mentioned that there was also Uchiha territory in the sand.

Only Naruto was confused, but he could already see a blue spot through the end of the desert plain in the distance, and that was the sea!

Bai Yu really didn't lie to him.

"Well, this is the territory where the Sand Hidden War was compensated for the defeat." Bai Yu glanced at the large Uchiha factory that had already been completed and put into use, and said with a smile: "Let's go over and have a look!" ”

"Good!"

The second daughter plus Naruto said excitedly.

On the road.

Ino asked curiously: "Bai Yu, why would you build a town by the sea in such a place?" ”

Bai Yu smiled: "On the one hand, it is to be able to build a market channel belonging to Uchiha in Shayin, after all, we need a logistics site to do business in Shayin. ”

"On the other hand?"

Black Earth then asked.

"Only let the people of Shagakure know that they can make money by following the Uchiha." The corners of Bai Yu's mouth suddenly moved, and he said calmly: "Next, Uchiha's in-depth development of Shayin, they will not resist." ”

"For example?" Ino asked curiously.

They really feel that they can always learn different things by Bai Yu's side.

"For example, the development of mineral resources."

Bai Yu led a few people towards the desert town full of western winds, and patiently explained:

"An energy weapon that the Uchiha is making requires a special mineral resource, which has only been found in the sand for the time being, and of course it is not excluded that it is also available in other places."

"Got it." Jing Ye said excitedly: "When it comes to doing business, you are better at it, Bai Yu, in the future, I will hand over all the flower shops in the mountains to you!" ”

The corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "Then I have to wait until I retire from the ninja world." ”

"No problem!"

Everyone arrived at the seaside town during the conversation and felt the unique coastal atmosphere of coming here.

Unlike the Uchiha-style resort-style seaside villages, which have a pleasant climate, they are full of industrial atmosphere.
