Chapter 10: On the Future of Kushinobi
"You mean,"
A ninjutsu scroll is placed on a stake,
Surrounded around, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura, who were speechless, said they couldn't understand.
"A mysterious person wearing a mask suddenly appeared, and said that you are a ninjutsu genius, and forced this scroll into you? - Or is it a scroll that records the Wind Escape Ninjutsu? ”
"yes,"
Facing Naruto, who took it for granted, Kakashi's first reaction was:
"You just got it back?"
"Didn't I come to you to discuss?"
No, no, no, Kakashi's point is not here at all, but in:
"What Kakashi-sensei mean, Naruto, didn't you think that this scroll was actually a detonation charm? Or highly poisonous or something..."
Sakura, who is the most knowledgeable scholar in 'cultural knowledge', understood what Kakashi meant at the first time. This kind of use of unsuspecting people to carry dangerous objects to specific places has always been a common method of ninjas.
"Hahahaha, this!"
Naruto laughed and scratched his hair,
"Don't worry, I've already opened it and checked it."
······
"It's a miracle you didn't get blown up,"
"What do you say?"
Even Sakura, who had a crush on him, Naruto wasn't happy about this.
"Isn't it? This thing of unknown origin..." Boredom,"
Now that Naruto had proven the safety of this scroll, Sasuke stopped paying attention to the issue and turned around and walked straight towards the forest.
Naruto had long since learned to climb trees and tread water, and even Sakura quickly mastered the ropes. On the contrary, his 'genius' has been delayed...
'Uchiha isn't that big, is it?' ’
Boom!
"I don't want to hear that,"
Slamming his fist into the trunk of the tree, Sasuke looked fierce and charged at the tree in front of him again.

Land of Waves,
Although it is called a country, it is more appropriate to say that it is an island.
It's a country that's so small that it doesn't even have a ninja village, and it's normal for it to suddenly disappear at any time in this world. The ruler is a merchant named 'Kado', ostensibly the president of a shipping company (Kado Company), but in fact he secretly uses samurai and ninjas to smuggle drugs and contraband, and is considered an unscrupulous villain for the sake of his ends.
Of course, although it is a villain, it is also a villain with a lot of skill. Otherwise, you won't be able to control so many ninjas and samurai. But there is a limit to the wrist, and the more scheming you are, the more likely you are to be killed by unexpected strongmen. Unless—
Become a ninja!
"Patience, white."
In the base where he was no longer hiding, the man known as the 'ghost man' stopped the masked boy from killing the man who had just come to talk nonsense.
"Now is not the time to kill Cardo, that will only attract the pursuers of the Fog Hidden Village."
Although the assassination of Mizukage failed, although he was already on the wanted warrant, and although he didn't think that he had betrayed the Land of Water, the assassination team of Fog Hidden Village didn't think so. So a certain low profile is a must.
Anyway, in the eyes of no matter how much he doesn't cut, Cardo is just a 'fat pig' who can be cleaned up at any time. There is no need to be angry with that kind of person, and you can take off his head at any time if you need to. But until then—
"Kill the ninja of Konoha first!"
I have to say that the ninjas of this world value their 'professional ethics' very much. The next task must be completed even if it is to fight for your life!
However, at this time, there is another force that has set its sights on this.
————
"To-kun-sama,"
Stepping on a few flying birds to the air fortress hidden behind the clouds, facing the two Shennong masters and apprentices who came to greet them, as well as the 'upper ninja' among the three air ninjas, Senluo nodded.
It is said to be forbearance, but the combat effectiveness of empty forbearance and sorrow... I'm afraid that even Konoha's special shinobi can't beat it.
"Since you're here, I'll assign the next task."
"Soon, the rulers of the country of waves will clash with the ninjas of Konoha. And what we have to do is to take the opportunity to take into our hands the wealth of the ruler of the entire Wave Country, as well as his connections and company. ”
Cardo, as a businessman who does all kinds of evil, Senro Senro has no psychological burden on using his 'inheritance' to develop himself. After all, ninjas also have to eat, and not everyone has the 'Six Ways Hanging' to be able to upgrade in place.
Far beyond the amount of food of ordinary people, the purchase and replacement of various secret techniques and forbearance equipment. Every ninja is a weapon of war made up of a lot of money, unless you have a bloody limit or a tailed beast on your body, you want to be stronger: money and combat are essential.
The reason why he didn't cut the card that would obey orders with a businessman was not just for money?
And the black money that Cardo has quietly accumulated through the covert sale of contraband and drugs will of course be laughed at by Senluo Senluo before it is noticed by other forces.
"After that, will we use the country of waves as a base?"
No matter how much money you have, it's just a windfall for a ninja village. If you want to develop sustainably, you still need to have a fixed site.
"That's right,"
Facing Dongjun who nodded, the three Shangnin, you look at me, I look at you, and Shennong stopped talking.
"I know what you're trying to say,"
Thousand-handed Senluo waved his hand, it is nothing more than an island country in the country of waves, how many taels of oil and water can be squeezed? How can you afford to support the empty ninja village or something...
"Collecting taxes from civilians, you're too small."
"If you want to do it, of course, you have to do cross-border trade!"
?!

What is Sora Shinobi good at?
The answer, of course, is to carry out an aerial raid with the help of a shinobi like a glider, but to be honest, the strength of the air ninja is also to bully ordinary people and lower ninjas. The kind of combat mode that only uses a ninja to suddenly throw kunai to the ground in the air, or a detonation charm.
In Senro's opinion, the wasted kunai and detonation charms are much more lethal than they are!
"This is..."
Facing the drawings handed over by the mysterious 'Dongjun', Shennong was deeply attracted just by looking at it!
"Flying Ninja?"
"To be precise, it is a multifunctional large manned vehicle."
Although the air ninja can fly, except for the air fortress 'Ankbandian' with average speed under his feet, the rest is a small personal glider, which is still propelled by the wind.
And the drawings handed over to Shennong by Senluo are the structural drawings of the aircraft in the previous life!
In the previous life, everyone on the earth knew that the lifting force generated by the wings on which the aircraft could fly was also very simple: the cross-section of the wing of the aircraft was generally round and blunt at the front end, sharp at the rear end, arched on the upper surface, and flat on the lower surface.
When equal mass air passes through both the upper and lower surfaces of the wing, different flow velocities are formed above and below the wing. The velocity of air passing through the upper surface of the wing is high and the pressure is small; The velocity is small and the pressure is strong when passing through the lower surface, so the aircraft has an upward lift.
The engine is not a problem either, the almighty chakra is the best energy source!
Environmental protection and safety, only need to eat...
And there is another greater advantage in this world, which is to be able to take off at any time with a headwind.
The take-off of an airplane depends on the lift generated by the relative motion with the air, and the magnitude of the lift depends on the relative speed of the aircraft with the air, not the relative speed of the aircraft with the ground.
If taking off against a headwind, the aircraft taxiing speed is opposite to the direction of the wind speed, and the relative velocity of the aircraft and the air is equal to the sum of the two. At this point, the aircraft only needs a small glide speed to get the lift it needs to get off the ground.
To put it simply, with the Wind Ninja, the aircraft can easily take off and land on a short runway!
And with the physical fitness of the ninjas in this world, even if the design of the plane that Senju Moriro took out was too rough, they could force it to overcome it.
"After this kind of aircraft is produced, it will be whether it is to transport goods or people. will be invincible! ”
Dongjun's thousand-armed Senluo, dressed as he paced around Shennong and the three empty ninjas, while depicting a bright future for them.
"Think about it, how fast is it to climb on the ground and fly in the sky?"
"Even if those tasks of catching cats, finding dogs, assassinating and spying are divided up by the five major powers, just one air transportation business can make the air ninja become the top force in the world..."
"By that time, the revival of empty forbearance will be a matter of course!"
In any world, what is the most profitable?
It's a monopoly!
As long as the air ninja can monopolize the air transportation business in this world, the money is not like flowing water... No, like the waves of the ocean?
With money, more ninjas can be cultivated, and more ninjas will emerge from more strong ones.
The Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind next door was so poor that it needed the Wind Shadow Gold Rush to subsidize the village, and later four generations of the Wind Shadow hung in the hands of Orochimaru. I had to cut the number of ninjas and make a fig leaf called "elite policy".
But if there is a choice, who doesn't want to vigorously develop the ninja army?
If you don't kill the four generations of Mizukage who have always wanted to launch a coup d'état again and overturn the perverse behavior, the reason why there has been no movement until now, is it still not without money?
"Of course, the five great powers will not watch this cake swallowed by us in vain!"
Thousand-armed Senluo's words made Shennong, who was trembling with excitement while holding the drawings, suddenly startled and came back to his senses.
That's right, if the air ninja can't withstand the pressure of other countries, then I'm afraid that this 'air transport business' will soon fall into the hands of others.
Even in the previous life of Senluo, large companies did things frequently: the Morgan consortium had an army, and DuPont was good at blasting; Sending commercial spies to steal secrets is just commonplace, and it is not news that people forcibly 'commit suicide' with a glass of poisoned wine or a plane crash.
What's more, this is a ninja world that is even more chaotic than Somalia! If you don't agree with each other, it is the norm to draw a knife and face each other. So:
"We need a 'shell' to get through the difficult time in the early stages,"
"Mr. Cardo's shipping company is very good."
As for whether the empty ninja that developed later can withstand the intimidation and spying of other forces, that is something that needs to be considered in the future.
"Understood!"
Before Shennong could say anything, the three empty ninjas nodded vigorously.
For the revival of the empty ninja, this Mr. 'Cardo', whom I have never met, please sacrifice yourself.
