ninja puppet master

Chapter 186
As the younger sister of the current daimyo of the Land of Winds, the eldest princess of the Land of Winds, it is of course impossible for a flower name to be a minor.

Shi Lei knew this very well, so he refused in this joking way.

Huashu also understood, so he didn't bring up this matter anymore, but began to host a banquet for Shi Lei, and the guests and hostess had a good time during the banquet.

After the meal, it is still the entertainment part of ten years ago - playing mahjong.

Shi Lei's [Every Gambling Must Lose] talent made him the most popular person in the casino naturally, and this time is no exception.

After a few rounds of mahjong, Shi Lei brought up the matter of the military expenses of Hidden Sand Village.

"Huashu, after I came back this time, I discovered a major crisis in the Kingdom of Wind. As a friend, I have to remind you!"

"The crisis in the Land of Wind?" Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hua Shu frowned, "But everything is fine in the Land of Wind!"

"No, this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the Kingdom of Wind is already in crisis!"

Speaking of this, Shi Lei arranged the mahjong that had already been coded, and then skillfully threw the dice.

As the master who hits three shots with one shot, the dice have become Shi Lei's exclusive props.

After throwing the dice, he opened his mouth again while drawing the cards.

"Before coming here, I went to Hidden Sand Village, and found that the number of ninjas in Hidden Sand Village has dropped significantly.

Although the strength of a single ninja has improved, once a large-scale war is faced, the destruction of Sand Hidden Village may only happen overnight.

And once the hidden sand village is destroyed, the Kingdom of Wind will be over, and it will be carved up and eaten away by other countries! "

"what?"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Huashu was so surprised that he couldn't even hold the cards in his hand, and "crackled" and fell all over the table.

But he didn't care about it at all, but looked at Shi Lei with a face of surprise.

"How could this be? Wasn't it fine before?"

"That's right, it was really good before!"

Shi Lei nodded first, then shook his head.

"But it's different now, because the Daming Prefecture has reduced the military expenditure of Hidden Sand Village, and also handed over a large number of tasks that should have belonged to Hidden Sand Village to Muye Village in the neighboring country.

This caused the ninjas in Hidden Sand Village to lose the soil they depended on for survival, and they had no economic income. The ninjas could only switch to other professions to make a living. They couldn't wait to starve to death, right? "

"This……"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hua Shu frowned immediately.

"It was my father's decision to reduce the military expenditure of Sand Hidden Village, and I didn't expect such serious consequences.

I will order to restore the military supply of Hidden Sand Village, and hand over the tasks to Hidden Sand Village, so it should be fine, right? "

"Well, that's fine, but we must pay attention to step by step!"

Speaking of this, Shi Lei rearranged the cards that Huashu messed up just now, and said to him with a smile.

"It is necessary to restore the supply of military funds, but the task needs to be done slowly, because the number of ninjas in Hidden Sand Village has been greatly reduced, and they cannot complete too many tasks at once.
I suggest to start with 20% first, and then increase the amount by 20% every year. After five years, it will be fully restored, and Shayin Village will be given an adaptation period, so that the task can be completed with quality and quantity. "

"Well, you're right, so it's settled!"

Huashu nodded, and the smile on his face suddenly became bright.

"Shi Lei, you are too powerful. You have helped me solve such a big crisis as soon as you came back. Why don't you be Kazekage? If you are Kazekage, I will feel relieved."

"Well, let's talk about this later, let's play the cards first!" After speaking, Shi Lei played a card, "Five barrels!"

"Hey, touch!"

Seeing the cards played by Shi Lei, Hua Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and immediately pushed down the cards.

"Nonsense! You are all right, give me the money!"

"..."

……

After coming out of the Daming Mansion, Gaara couldn't help asking Shi Lei.

"Why don't you want to be Kazekage?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Gaara's question, Shi Lei suddenly chuckled, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.

"Because I have already made an appointment with someone, she will be Kazekage, and I will be Kazekage's man!"

"..."

Gaara didn't understand, and immediately frowned, a small face full of doubts.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei suddenly smiled, then reached out and rubbed his head again.

"Okay, don't think so hard, brain cells won't regenerate, use one less than one, go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's done!"

"Ok!"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Gaara nodded immediately, then closed his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei couldn't help showing a bit of sympathy in his eyes.

He knows that Gaara, who is a Jinchuriki with a tail, has never slept well since she was born, because when she falls asleep, her consciousness will be taken away by Shukaku, and then she will turn into a tailed beast and run away.

It is precisely because of the fear of losing himself, the strong fear keeps Gaara from falling asleep.

The lack of sleep not only made him have two dark circles under his eyes, but also made him extremely irritable and often lost control.

In the end, he was labeled a "failure" by Luo Sha, and he was in constant panic during the assassination, and even began to doubt the meaning of his own existence.

In the original plot, after killing many assassins, Gaara even came to the conclusion that "my existence is to kill people other than me".

From this, one can imagine what kind of hardships he endured in his childhood.

Now Shi Lei has strengthened the seal of Shouhe, and what Gaara said earlier made Gaara untie the knot in his heart and gained his trust, which made Gaara sleep peacefully.

"What a poor fellow!"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei stretched out his hand to gently touch Gaara's head again.

But when he touched it, Gaara opened his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei was startled.

"Uh...you weren't asleep?"

"Asleep!" Gaara glanced at him lightly, "But you woke me up!"

"(ω`)"

Under Gaara's gaze, Shi Lei silently took his hand back, "Then I won't touch you anymore, go to sleep!"

"..."

Gaara didn't speak, but didn't sleep either, just looked at Shi Lei calmly.

Seeing him like that, Shi Lei suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh...hehe, then go back and sleep again. By the way, there seems to be a super big baby in the house. After a while, you will be surprised after seeing it!"

"→_→"

Gaara didn't speak, but it was clear from the look in his eyes that he didn't believe it.

Shi Lei didn't say much, just smiled, and when he got home, he took him to the workshop behind the yard.

There should have been dozens of craftsmen here, but now it is empty, and cobwebs have sprung up in many places.

Around the workshop, more than a dozen [Resurrectionist] bodyguard puppets stood motionless, and there were many weathered bones around them.

Around these bones, there are still some weapons such as long knives or kunai, but they are already rusty.

From this point, it can be seen that these guys are not craftsmen here, but people with other purposes.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Hey... Seeing that there is no Gaara, this is called man-made money and dead birds for food. Okay, come in with me, my big baby is the innermost."

　Thanks to the Top Four Sound Ninja: [I want to sleep] [Whale Falling] [Lonely Little Chicken] [Hesitate Holy Spirit] for the reward, thank you!
