Red Dust

Gaara explained:

"Before coming back, Shuiying told me..."

"This is something I picked up on the side of the road without an owner, it's not that I want to get rid of it..."

Daimaru defended innocently.

If it is inserted in the peach field and the grave is not cut off for several months, no one wants it, so what's the matter with it?

I have long known that the Seven Ninja swords are all things that have a psychic contract. Wuyin Village must have a way to determine its location, but I didn't expect to find it on myself. I really underestimated the ability of Wu Ninja to collect information.

"Mist Ninja's request is not so strong. Even the tailed beast dares to 'pick up' the 'Red Sand Dust' who is selling money. They are not prepared to ask for it forcibly. If possible, they can pay for it..."

"I think about it before answering!"

Daimaru's complexion was a little better, and he said in an angry voice.

"These are all trivial matters. You can discuss with Shuiying yourself. As you said, the beheading sword is your personal property that you 'picked up', and it will be yours to sell it for any amount..."

"I just said why the nervous water shadow is close to me. It turned out to be to confirm the breath of the beheading sword..."

It's really unscientific not to be attracted by his handsome and extraordinary appearance!

"The trivial matters are not in a hurry, let's talk about the request of Konoha Village..."

Gaara waved his hand,

"The first air combat team in Konoha Village has been formed, and the first phase of the wing armor sales and training agreement has been completed. Now, Konoha Ninja wants to expand the scope of cooperation..."

"When did this happen?"

The elders present were shocked.

"not long ago!"

Gaara also has some headaches,

"Not long after I received the letter, I can't judge the intention of Konoha Village, so I want to ask everyone's meaning, especially you, Daimaru! The elders were very divided about the transaction of the wing armor at the beginning. In fact, they have tended to refuse. It was you who insisted on agreeing, and what happened now..."

At that time, Gaara was not the fifth generation of Kazekage, so he didn't know the details of this matter at all. Later, when he looked up the memo of the meeting at that time, he understood the inside story.

"Cooperation or something, isn't it just spending money on puppets and services?"

Daimaru said nonchalantly,

"Agreed! Why don't you make money if you have money?"

"What if the puppet technology is stolen and learned?"

Markey is a little worried. Although this thing has some technical content, it is not insurmountable.

"Don't worry, it's a bit difficult to learn at the level of Konoha Village, but it's not impossible. Since you still want to cooperate with us, it proves that others have tried it, and you don't think it's worth it..."

The reality that making is worse than buying is not too difficult to understand.

Chapter 0583 The price of growth

If it is a laboratory sample of high and low temperature or an engineering machine without mass production, the consideration of cost and process needs to be taken a little later.

But the puppet is obviously not a ticket-like product. A real high-quality puppet is a trump card weapon that can save lives on the battlefield and in missions. It not only needs strong combat power, but also stable and reliable quality. It's not a joke that can be perfunctory.

Once it is promoted, there are many aspects that need to be considered.

With the size of Konoha Village, it’s okay to assign a few Shangnin or ninja technicians who are proficient in manufacturing to create puppet model benchmarks, arm the entire puppet army, and even fully take over the armament of the Konoha Village Air Combat Force’s wing armor. not.

Even if it is reluctant to install at any cost, it is not worth the loss. Let the high-level ninjas with top strength, reputation and status specially build puppets for the middle and low-level ninjas. I am afraid that it is a dream. A puppet master is a profession that only high-ranking people can play.

With the background of Konoha Village, it is better not to force it in areas where you are not good at it.

"According to the reliable information from our allies, after half a year, they finally reproduced three wing armors that were barely able to fly, but the cost is completely uncontrollable. For the same price, you can buy five from us. times the number, and also includes teaching and meeting..."

This cost is no longer a question of whether it is worthwhile.

"Let's not talk about the quality, this cost, it is estimated that even the senior puppet stylist in the village will be shocked..."

Speaking of this, even the serious and old-fashioned layman Maki couldn't hold back his laughter when he read the information from Gaara.

"This is too outrageous. How did our allies do it?"

Daimaru also thought about the fact that the sand ninjas who have been immersed in this industry for decades have actually established a preliminary moat.

It is not that the technological gap is too deep to be overcome, but in terms of scale and resource integration, Shayin Village has long had a mature industrial chain foundation, ranging from masters who have been making high-quality products for decades, down to apprentices who polish core materials. , as far away as the parts processing center in the country of craftsmen and the mining and smelting plant in the country of thunder, and as close as the assembly workshops placed in the "Tongzilou" and warehouse distribution centers, all over the Ninja world, I don't know how many people make a living.

The powerful ninja families in Konoha Village may be more proficient in some subdivisions than the puppet masters in Sandyin Village, but working together to create puppets feels awkward, and there are big pits everywhere.

The three wing armors manufactured at the same time are similar in appearance, but are very different inwardly. The parts in the same part cannot be interchanged. If there is a slight malfunction, you have to dismantle them one by one for inspection, and then manually polish or replace the parts. This is not nonsense. What?

"In this way, the original decision was correct, unless Konoha Village completely gave up the puppet realm... I guess this is unlikely! Our village can make money for at least a few years, which is really good news..."

In fact, Sand Ninja doesn't really want to expose the puppet to his allies for research, but who makes them attractive enough?

"Do you want to agree to Konoha Village's request?"

I love Luo solemnly asking for advice.

Even the slightly conservative sand and gravel can't find a reason to refute.

"Let's talk about it first, don't worry, if Konoha Village is really sincere, it's not impossible..."

Daimaru suggested,

"The two villages don't have bad relations, and this business should last for many years! Just like consumables such as kunai, shuriken and detonating charms, each village buys it from the big merchants in the country of craftsmen. Even if they can do it themselves, who can do it? Will you reject good and cheap things?"

What's more, the puppet is a special industrial product of the ninja world with a relatively low technical content and relatively high added value. In the future, whether Shayin Village can gain a firm foothold in the ninja world may really need such a core competitiveness. Things support the scene.

Of course, this cooperation is not a purely commercial activity, but a cooperation between the two villages. In the past, no other forces could do it except Daimaru. Now, Shayin Village, which has thoroughly understood Daimaru's first-generation wing armor technology The puppet masters can also fight a price war with Daimaru.

For example, the "shared puppet" hosted by Miss Sha Ye has developed rapidly in the village, and the puppet workshop under Daimaru's huge profits is now under a lot of pressure.

Internal competition is all it takes. Externally, if they lower the price of each other, the benefits will be cheaper for outsiders.

In this short meeting, in addition to letting Daimaru know what to do, it also has the benefit of having the two major puppet-producing entities in the village unite and make good money from Konoha Village.

……

"Sure enough, I still have to deal with Miss Sha Ye..."

In the spacious roof courtyard, Daimaru holds a watering can and carefully waters the pots of black pine.

"By the way, how's your blind date?"

Not far away, Aika Shibuya, who had not seen her for a few days, had a stiff expression on her face:

"It didn't work!"

"Ok?"

Daimaru raised his head and asked unexpectedly,

"It stands to reason that a promising ninja like you shouldn't worry about marrying, right? Which one is blind and doesn't look down on you? Or, do you look down on the man?"

"This……"

Shibuya Aika was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she answered honestly. In fact, Daimaru shouldn't ask too much detail about this kind of privacy. Have to care.

"The other party asked me to change jobs in another department, but I didn't agree?"

"why?"

What else is there to be dissatisfied with, the direct descendant of "Red Sand Dust", who is in the limelight in the village?The future is boundless, is there a better place to go besides getting on Gaara's thigh?

"The main reason is that Commander Daimaru's reputation is not very good. Young women who are secretaries and assistants are easily misunderstood..."

Shibuya Aika's face was flushed, and she didn't want to say it, but she couldn't let it go.

"This……"

Daimaru was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily,

"I'm the one who got you down..."

Putting down the watering can in his hand, Daimaru leaned against the edge of the flower bed and sighed against the cold wind.

"People are terrifying!"

In the past, Daimaru cared little about the impact of his own reputation, except for his relationship with Temari, and to clear up his scandals with young girls from all walks of life.

Although there is no real evidence, there is still a certain market for gossip about Daimaru Playboy, and maybe some people will believe it.

Daimaru, who has lived in the hidden sand village for more than ten years, has long been aware of the conservativeness of the hidden sand village.The boy who is about to come can no longer dismiss gossip and gossip as he did before.

Chapter 0584

One side of the water and soil raises the other side, such as a vigorous young leader like Daimaru, and there are some serious rumors, girls who get too close are indeed vulnerable to strange eyes and bad speculation.

"The space for being treated with tolerance is getting smaller and smaller! 』

Daimaru, who was sighing, restrained his thoughts, and said to Aika Shibuya, who was at a loss:

"Is it because I didn't think carefully, do I need to help you change positions?"

"no, I'm fine!"

Shibuya Aika hurriedly waved her hand and refused,

"Lord Commander is not as misunderstood by others as he usually takes care of me. I am very satisfied here..."

"That's it!"

Daimaru pondered for a while, then nodded and said,

"I'm still not careful, I've caused you trouble..."

"I can't blame the commander for this. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be a ninja. Maybe I would be a part-time job at a laundry shop..."

Becoming a ninja, even if it is not a technical ninja fighting on the front line, is a qualitative leap, a real life-changing change.

"Okay! If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly! Some things are like a breeze to me, and it doesn't matter, but it's different for you! And I can't cover everything, and negligence is inevitable! You are all My go-getters, many ideas in the future, I still need everyone to help me realize..."

"Got it, Daimaru-sama is a good man!"

"Okay, let's go first! You can see the results of soil cultivation this time. Coarse sand mixed with charcoal residue and clay is the most suitable for the growth of black pine, so that Qian will be ready to grow into a savanna, and ... kill Termites can't let up..."

God knows how these insects, more like bees than ants, flooded the budding Awaji settlement.
