You Know Nothing About Pain

Naruto is fine, but Kyuubi is so excited. These days, he ate all kinds of delicacies in Sand Hidden Village, and even many old chefs who have retired have been invited out of the mountain to serve Kyuubi. One person cooks a nearly lost delicacy alone.

There is no way, Fengying personally ordered, who dares to slack off, and Fengying has just taken office.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, but no one wants this fire to burn on his own head, so the ninja who is in charge of greeting Naruto has the consciousness of tying him and tying him to cook for Kyuubi.

-------------------------------------

In the past few days, Gaara has a lot of things to deal with because he suddenly succeeded Kazekage.

All kinds of plans for the future development of the village must be reviewed one by one. How to deal with the remaining elders of the presbytery is also a problem. They also have to meet the elite ninjas of their own village and envoys sent by other countries or villages to congratulate them one by one. It can be said that he is too busy to touch the ground, and occasionally when he returns home late at night, he can complain to Naruto who is still awake.

Regarding the current situation of Hidden Sand Village, I really don’t care if I don’t know it or not. I was taken aback. When Gaara became Kazekage and started to overview everything in Hidden Sand Village, I realized that Hidden Sand Village has been corrupted to this point. .

First of all, Hidden Sand Village has had no more than double-digit ninjas for several years in a row. This year, only three new ninjas graduated, which is far lower than the number of ninjas graduated each year. Even if Hidden Sand Village pursues the strategy of elite ninjas, But in the past, there were more than 30 new ninjas every year.

What kind of concept is it that the number of new ninjas is less than ten? The number of ninjas sacrificed every year is more than this number. If this continues, the number of ninjas in Hidden Sand Village will only decrease.

Moreover, the number of ninjas sacrificed every year is also increasing. Hidden Sand Village has always pursued the strategy of elite ninjas. It is absolutely unacceptable that the number of ninjas sacrificed every year is constantly increasing.

According to the analysis of the intelligence department, the reason why the number of sacrificial ninjas in Hidden Sand Village keeps increasing every year is not because the level of ninjas is not good, but because the logistical preparations are not sufficient, and the medical and logistical support is decreasing year by year, so the rate of ninja battle losses continues to rise. However, many ninjas who could be saved unfortunately died or lost the ability to continue to be ninjas due to logistical and medical problems.

However, in the final analysis, these problems are actually two words, no money.

The daimyos of the Kingdom of the Wind are reducing the military expenditure of Hidden Sand Village every year, which has caused the ability of Hidden Sand Village to train ninjas to continue to decline. You must know that training ninjas is an extremely expensive job. A qualified ninja must pay at least all the resources equivalent to one hundred households. This is on the premise that Konoha has already established a mature enough training system for ninja. There is no such mature system as Konoha. The resources that the village needs to consume will only be higher.

At the same time, the environment of Shayin Village is also very harsh, and there are no natural resources. Usually, it depends on the daimyo's appropriation and ordinary tasks to obtain funds.

Therefore, once the daimyo cuts the funds, the number and quality of ninjas will decrease. Once the number and quality of ninjas decrease, the efficiency of performing tasks will decrease. The decrease in the efficiency of performing tasks will lead to customers who come to Hidden Sand Village to entrust large tasks. Fewer and fewer, no income without major tasks, and the number and quality of ninjas will further decline. The daimyo of the country of the wind sees that the mud can't support the wall, so they intensify the cuts in funding.

This created a vicious circle, and the Council of Elders didn't tell anyone about it at all, and they didn't have any intention of changing it. The only way they thought of was to invade other villages and let the daimyo of the country of wind see their Strength, increase funds again, the result of this has been seen by everyone, that is, Konoha Honkai's plan failed, and it also took advantage of its own wind and shadow.

The Elders will keep the situation in Shayin Village firmly under wraps and will not tell anyone. Even the many elite jōnin in the village don’t know about it. They can only vaguely perceive that the situation in the village seems to be not very good by their normal feelings.

Gaara broke into a cold sweat after learning about the real situation in the village. At the same time, I was glad that I became Kazekage as soon as possible. In this situation, those guys from the Presbyterian Church are still unwilling to find businessmen to cooperate with outsiders, and they are talking about how Shayin Village can cooperate with such lowly people.

Gaara only wanted to swear at that time, the village couldn't live anymore and cared about the face.

Gaara also told Naruto the real situation of Hidden Sand Village without hesitation. Naruto was also surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect Hidden Sand Village to reach this point, and he was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff. .

Then Naruto helped Gaara to analyze it. Up to now, business cooperation with the outside world is an urgent matter. There is nothing to discuss about this. The key issue now is how to cooperate and who to cooperate with.

The Hidden Sand Village is located in the desert, and its products are barren. Apart from some minerals, there is nothing to sell.

"Who are you looking for to cooperate with..." Gaara lowered his head in distress and said, "I don't know much about business, so why don't you find a few larger companies, which should be more reliable .”

Naruto rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, the idea of ​​finding a large company first is okay, it belongs to the type that will never go wrong, but maybe I have a better idea here."

"Do you have a better method?" Gaara raised his head suddenly with bright eyes and said, "Tell me!" "Don't worry, this method is very simple." Naruto said with a somewhat awkward smile: " Think about it from another angle, why do we have to choose a few companies first? We have the initiative, and directly choosing companies first is not conducive to maximizing the interests of Shayin Village."

Seeing Gaara's thoughtful expression, Naruto said immediately: "You might as well send a notice directly and tell all the mining businessmen in the world publicly, telling them that your Shayin Village wants to seek cooperation with the outside world. Said that as long as it is profitable, they will naturally come up like ants smelling sweet."

The mineral resources of Hidden Sand Village have basically not undergone any large-scale development. All the mineral merchants in the world are drooling with greed, but Hidden Sand Village never considered cooperation with merchants before, let alone Hidden Sand Village. As long as it is in the desert within the radiation range of the hidden sand village, others are not allowed to mine it at will.

"You can say in the announcement that Shayin Village is only looking for three partners this time, but you must not reveal any words about the conditions or inclinations of the cooperation, and your subordinates must keep it strictly confidential and treat it as the village's confidential information." The more Naruto said, the more excited he became: "Then when businessmen from all over the world come to Shayin Village, tell them that you are going to engage in a closed-box bidding, and let all businessmen write down the conditions they can offer on a slip of paper to vote. Here you are, and then you will choose the three most suitable companies based on the conditions given and the qualifications of the businessmen themselves."

With Gaara's gradually becoming a bit confused, Naruto continued to talk: "You can even set a bidding bottom line, which will not be disclosed to anyone. Every businessman has three chances to bid. If the bidder is lower than the bidding limit you set, he will be directly expelled from the qualification, and will no longer consider cooperating with this businessman."

At this time, Gaara, who was opposite Naruto, had already taken out a small notebook, lowered his head and kept memorizing what Naruto said.

"By the way, where do you spend your usual funds in Hidden Sand Village?" Naruto suddenly asked as if thinking of something: "Is it all spent on ninja training?"

"The funding for Hidden Sand Village?" Gaara recalled the information he had read and said: "Basically, it is divided into three parts, one part is the training cost of new ninjas, and the other part is the logistics and medical expenses of active ninjas , and the last part is used to buy supplies with the outside world, such as food and the like.”

The products of Hidden Sand Village are poor, and it is basically impossible to achieve self-sufficiency by farming in the desert, so Hidden Sand Village spends a huge sum of money every year to buy a large amount of food from the outside world. Absolutely can't save it, or it would be ridiculous to starve people to death.

Therefore, every fluctuation in food prices in the world will seriously damage the vitality of Shayin Village. The guys from other Daren village took advantage of the fire to rob. Among them, Yunyin village was the most active, and Shayin village didn't dare to say anything, otherwise they might find an excuse to call the door. They are not Yunyin village's opponents.

"Is that so...buying food..." Naruto thought to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Do you want to try to reach a long-term cooperation with Konoha?"

"Long-term cooperation?" Gaara stopped reading notes, looked up with some doubts, and said, "What cooperation?"

"Cooperation between minerals and food. Muye Village is very rich and rich in resources, especially food. The number of ninjas is also the largest. There are never too many mineral resources for making ninja tools." Naruto slapped his hands suddenly and said: "You can reach an agreement with Konoha to exchange a fixed amount of minerals for food every year, and the price has been agreed in advance. No matter how the international food prices or mineral prices fluctuate, the replacement conditions of both of you will never be the same. I think Konoha would be happy to exchange some of the food that I can’t eat for minerals that can be used to make ninja tools, it’s a win-win situation.”

"That's what I said, but..." Gaara said hesitantly: "If this is done, some people in the ninja group may complain, and the village's think tank team may also raise objections. Other ninja villages provide resources such as minerals that can be directly used in wars, which will make people feel that they are weakening themselves to improve others, and raising tigers."

"So let me tell you, the so-called think tanks in your village didn't see the facts at all." Naruto sighed, looked at Gaara seriously and said, "Let's put it this way, if you want to give the Five Great Ninja Village Make a ranking on the level, how would you rank.”

"Strength ranking..." Gaara thought for a while and said: "The first rank must be your Konoha. Although a lot of things have happened recently, the foundation is still the first in terms of overall strength; as for the second rank The first gear should be Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village. These two villages have always been stable, and there have been no major changes internally, and their strength has remained good; the final third gear is our Shayin Village and Wuyin Village. The village has experienced great changes, and the strength of the village is basically at the lowest point in history."

"Well, it's about the same as the ranking in my heart. I guess most people in the ninja world think so." Naruto nodded without any surprises, and then asked another question: "Then you think it's you If Konoha is not provided with minerals, will there be any change in the strength gap between Konoha and Sand Hidden Village?"

Gaara thought for a while, then shook his head honestly and said: "Nothing has changed. Konoha now has overwhelming strength for Hidden Sand Village. Whether we provide mineral resources or not, it will not prevent Konoha from being able to Kill us."

"That's right!" Naruto slapped his hands and said, "Since it doesn't affect the strength gap between Konoha and you whether you provide minerals or not, why should you care about such things? As for Konoha's increased strength Will it affect other ninja villages, it's none of your business."

"Think about it, who is most worried about Konoha's cooperation with your hidden sand village?" Naruto said with a malicious smile: "The ones who are most worried or affected the most should be hidden clouds and hidden rocks. , because the strength of these two villages is the closest to Konoha, and they belong to the type that Konoha can't completely suppress them even though they may not be able to beat them. If Konoha trades grain for your mineral resources, Once their strength increases again, they will panic."

"Even if they come to question you at that time, you can just say that the village can't afford fast food now, and you can't do anything about it." Naruto smiled like a weasel who stole a hen: "Of course if they I am willing to sell you a large amount of food at a low price, and you can also consider exchanging less minerals with Konoha, and even Konoha will take the initiative to help you resist the pressure brought by Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village in order to allow you to cooperate with them with peace of mind .”

"Right now, the target of your Hidden Sand Village shouldn't be Konoha, but Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Rock Village, the two second-tier ninja villages above you. Anyway, you can't handle Konoha anyway. , then it’s better to try to strengthen your own strength first, and get rid of the oppression of these two ninja villages.” Naruto smiled slightly and said: “It would be more fun if Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village were pinched with Konoha. Once they Weakening you will give you a chance, and generally speaking, your cooperation with Konoha at this stage is definitely beneficial and harmless."

Gaara listened to Naruto's plan, and his mouth grew gradually.

"Anyway, you just kill yourself and don't want to cooperate with Konoha. The main reason is that you really don't have money to buy food, and Konoha is secretly threatening." Naruto said with a smile: "Let Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village Go with Konoha, you develop slowly and make a fortune in silence, and when the strength of Shayin Village reaches the second level, whether you want to restrict Konoha is the question you need to consider."

Gaara looked at the eloquent Naruto with weird eyes. There was no way, mainly because this scene was a bit too magical. Naruto is strictly speaking a ninja from Konoha Ninja Village, and he is also a core ninja like Jinchuriki. Now He was actually helping Shayin Village, which is theoretically a potential competitor, to make a plan, and the feasibility of the plan is very high.

"That's about it." Naruto took a sip of the tea in front of him and said, "You can fill in the details according to your own situation."

"Oh...oh!" Gaara came to his senses after finishing the memorization, looked at the densely packed notebook in his hand with some sighs and said, "To be honest, sometimes I really wonder where you came from. So many fantastic ideas, it’s really amazing.”

"It's okay." Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I just read a lot of books. In fact, I didn't think of many things myself, but I read them from books. , plus some of my own understanding, something that was messed up."

"That..." Gaara looked at the plan in the book, hesitated and decided to say: "Is it really okay for you to give us such an idea? Will the people in Muye Village be right if they know about it?" You don't quite..."

"It's okay, it's nothing, what is this?" Naruto waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Let's not talk about whether the people of Konoha will know, even if they know, so what, I will tell Konoha directly about this idea now High-level executives, there is a high probability that they will directly follow what I said. Didn’t I say it before? This method is a win-win for Konoha and Sand Yin. People will also choose to take the initiative to step in, as long as the benefits outweigh the potential threats, then it is something that can be done.”

"I see, I didn't expect there to be such a plan." Gaara said with a sigh: "Even if someone else finds out about your plan, you can only follow it obediently in the end. I really don't know what you think Naruto from."

The various plans and conspiracies that Gaara has been in contact with all the time are all dead things. The way of thinking of the ninjas in Hidden Sand Village seems to always only be those things. Weakening the enemy is always by attack or sneak attack. In their concept Helping others to increase their strength is an unimaginable thing. Isn't helping others to increase their strength something a fool would do?

However, what Naruto said today is undoubtedly equivalent to opening a door to a new world for Gaara. It turns out that there are still such strategies and win-win methods in this world.

"How did you come up with it?" Naruto smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing complicated, just change the angle and concept of seeing things."

Gaara said with some doubts: "Change your perspective and concept of looking at things?"

"That's right, it's that simple." Naruto nodded and said, "Sometimes when we look at a matter, we can't just be obsessed with the details of this matter, but also need to jump out of the current framework appropriately, from a higher and more Look at it from a macro perspective, such as the background of the times and actual conditions at that time. If you read too much, you will find that sometimes many things that people think are caused by accidents or because someone made a decision with a slap on the head are actually There is a certain inevitability in it, which is determined by the background of the times and the actual conditions at that time, even without those people or those accidents, similar events will erupt sooner or later."

"When you discover the laws behind these things, you can think of this method." Naruto said with a smile: "As long as you can grasp the laws behind the things themselves, you don't need to consider too many details in many cases. Because you know that as long as certain conditions are met, things will naturally develop."

"I don't know how to be obsessed with the current details, but to jump out of the frame and look at it from a higher and more macro perspective..." Gaara muttered to himself, and finally shook his head and said, "It's a bit difficult to understand, but I I will try to understand."

"It's okay, don't worry about this kind of thing, just think about it slowly." Naruto waved his hand with a smile and said, "You'd better find some books on history and read more, and try to analyze it with this method first. The events in history will gradually find their laws.”

-------------------------------------

At the gate of Hidden Sand Village, Gaara looked at Naruto reluctantly. If it wasn't for doing that that didn't suit Kazekage's identity, Gaara would wish to send Naruto out of the desert all the time.

Walking to a place not far outside Sand Hidden Village, Naruto turned his head and said to Gaara: "I really can't give it away anymore. You are still a majestic figure now, so it is not good for others to see."

"Okay." Gaara also knew that what Naruto said was true, and now that she was Kazekage, she couldn't be as self-willed as before, so she nodded regretfully and said, "Then I'll send it here, Next time you come, you must stay longer."

"Next time, definitely next time."

Naruto agreed with a smile, then his eyes inadvertently glanced at a corner in the desert, and his expression was stunned.

Not far from the city wall of Shayin Village, a tent stood alone on the desert. From the curtain in front of the tent, one could see a disheveled man sitting pitifully in the tent.

This person is Naoto Machii, the somewhat vain businessman Naruto met on his way to Sand Hidden Village.

At this moment, Naoto Machii's wife and daughter didn't know where they went, and he was sitting in the tent with his legs crossed, his eyes were red, his face was covered with dust, and his hair was pulled into a ball. It seemed that he hadn't washed it for a while. The originally neat suit also became wrinkled, and at first glance, I thought it was a dirty beggar from somewhere.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his head to look at Gaara and said, "That guy, why is he always there?"

"Naruto, do you know this guy?" Gaara naturally didn't know Naoto Machii, but since Naruto asked, Gaara directly ordered the ninjas under him to find out what happened.

The ninja quickly sent the news back. It turned out that Naoto Machii hadn’t gone back since he was rejected that day. He sent his wife and daughter back to live in a nearby city, and he set up a tent directly in the hidden sand village. Outside the village, he couldn't be driven away no matter how hard he drove, the ninja of Shayin Village saw that he was an ordinary businessman, and he was just staying outside the village, so he let him go.

The reason why Machii Naoto did this was because he was desperate. He had mortgaged his assets before. If he could not reach a cooperation with Sand Hidden Village, then everything in the first half of his life would be ruined, and he would have to bear it in the second half of his life. unsustainable debt.

The only way he can think of now is to stay outside the village and wait for Naruto to come out, and then even if he is sloppy, he will ask the other party to forgive his ignorance and give him a chance. He has made up his mind. It's fine to die here, anyway, it's better to die than to go back.

"This man has been outside the hidden sand village for half a month." The ninja on the side said helplessly: "His wife and daughter will bring him some water and food during the period, we see that he is not in danger, so let him go gone."

Naruto looked at Naoto Machii not far away in surprise after hearing this. Although this man was a bit vain, he was still a man. He knew that he would let his wife and daughter live in a nearby city, and wait here alone to die. Letting his wife and daughter suffer together is at least a bit of a conscience.

And Machii Naoto had already spotted Naruto, God knows how much he wanted to rush out now, but the man wearing Kazekage attendant next to Naruto and the ninjas staring at him made Machii Naoto dare not make any moves.

The murderous aura unintentionally released by the surrounding ninjas made him tremble. He believed that as long as he had any thoughts of trying to get close, the ninjas guarding him would instantly tear him into pieces. The person in the costume should be the ninja who came to the gate to pick up Naruto himself. Why did he become Kazekage in a blink of an eye? This world is too crazy.

Naruto looked at Naoto Machii who wanted to move but didn't dare to move not far away, and couldn't help but shook his head amusedly. This person is also destined to be with him, since he is still a man who cares about the family, just Don't bother with him so much.

"That one over there! It's called Naoto Machii, right!" Naruto said loudly directly: "You are a businessman who wants to cooperate with Hidden Sand Village, right? Hidden Sand Village will openly seek business cooperation in the world soon. Those who are waiting here, hurry back and prepare, it is up to you whether you can do it or not!"

After hearing Naruto's words, Machii Naoto was stunned for a moment, then his whole body began to tremble, tears filled his dry eyes uncontrollably, choked his throat, and wanted to answer some words of thanks, but found that after so many days In the desert, his voice had already lost his voice, and he could only make some whimpering sounds similar to mourning.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... ....thanks...."

Naruto looked at Machii Naoto who was not far away, smiled and said, "Hurry up and go back! Go back and spend more time with your family, they must be worried."

After finishing speaking, Naruto smiled and waved at Gaara: "Let's go!"

Then Naruto turned around without hesitation, and left with Kyuubi and Hase Ryusheng without looking back.

Machii Naoto knelt down on all fours and bowed deeply towards the direction Naruto left, and refused to get up for a long time, even if Naruto's figure disappeared into the distance, he still remained motionless.

Gaara silently watched Naruto's figure disappear little by little, and muttered to himself: "Naruto-kun, come on." After parting from Gaara and others, Naruto walked ahead in the desert, Behind him was Jiuwei, who was holding a pile of food and munching, and Hase Longsheng, who had a bewildered expression.

Before Naruto planned to leave, Gaara asked him if there was anything he needed to add, as long as they had it in Hidden Sand Village, it would be fine, but Naruto didn’t ask for anything, saying that he had everything he should have.

When Kyuubi thought that the beautiful days of eating and drinking every day would be gone forever, he suddenly felt sad, but it was impossible for him not to follow Naruto, so he asked for a lot of them to take with him on the road. The snacks, he has only a small part of them now, and all the others are placed in the sealed scroll in the backpack on Naruto's back.

-------------------------------------

Regarding the cultivation of Gaara and Shuhe, Naruto finally considered again and again. First, he eliminated all the unique parts of his Hunyuan Gong, and only taught Gaara some of the most basic induction methods about the aura of the five elements. Hunyuan Gong is an extremely complicated skill. If you don't have a very good understanding of Taoism and the corresponding knowledge, you can't even understand it. If you give it to Gaara, the best result is nothing. If you don’t practice it, if you really practice something, it will be a big problem, because there is a high probability that something that is forcibly practiced without understanding will be problematic, even if it suddenly explodes and dies, it is not uncommon things.

As for Shouhe's kung fu Naruto, he borrowed from Kyuubi the cultivation kung fu that Mr. Ji gave him back then, deleted and deleted, and deleted the part specially designed and improved by Kyuubi, leaving only After learning some of the most basic knowledge of practice, Shouhe cannot cultivate to the stage of transforming into a human by relying on this thing. It can only be regarded as some preparatory work.

The cultivation technique he gave was only the most basic, and Naruto didn't hide anything from Gaara and Shuhe. Of course, Gaara wouldn't mind anything, Naruto was willing to give him this kind of thing He was already very happy, but as for Shouhe, he was chattering for a while, but soon he went to study the exercises Naruto gave him.

In fact, Naruto was also very surprised that when he asked Kyuubi to ask for a skill, Kyuubi gave it very readily. It stands to reason that Kyuubi and Shuzuru have a bad relationship, and they don't like each other.

Kyuubi didn't mean to hide anything about this point, and said directly with disdain: "It took me so much time to complete the practice with the tailor-made exercises and hand-in-hand guidance by surname Ji, just follow that The IQ of the stinky raccoon cat, let him figure it out if he can recognize all the characters on it, he is not bad, and he is still practicing, if I am afraid that he will count me as a loser."
