Although this woman wore a mask and her appearance couldn't be seen clearly.
Her long golden hair draped over her shoulder like soft gauze.
The fluffy golden bangs hung on the forehead of the mask like willow threads.
And strangely, this female ninja seemed to be nearsighted.
After walking out of the dark, it took her several seconds to confirm Danzo's position.
Danzo looked at this strongest spy of Root, who was also the best medical ninja of Root.
A sneer hung on his wrinkled face:
"Miko, you go to the capital of the Land of Wind immediately and spread rumors."
"Say that the Sand Village has been dissatisfied with the Daimyo lineage for a long time, and Daimyo Ten'i, who has just ascended to the throne, is also very dissatisfied with the Sand Village."
"If possible, it's best to infiltrate."
The woman wearing a cat mask nodded gently, her voice gentle but cold:
"Yes."
Seeing the woman's performance, Danzo's eyes flickered, and he added:
"After the matter is done, the orphanage's funding will increase by 10%."
Hearing this, the woman's eyes immediately shone brilliantly.
Her voice was no longer cold as before, respectful:
"Subordinate obeys!"
Watching the back of the blonde woman leaving, Danzo's face gradually turned cold.
The strongest spy ninja he was once proud of, Nonō Yakushi.
Since she started adopting orphans and became the so-called orphanage director...
She had become more and more soft-hearted and had more and more ideas of her own.
For a Root ninja who was required to discard all feelings and be an obedient and ruthless tool, these two points were the biggest shortcomings.
Perhaps this very useful tool could only be used a few more times before discarding her.
As soon as Nonō Yakushi walked out of the Root base.
She immediately took off the mask on her face and put it away, took out a pair of round-rimmed glasses and put them on her face, and the blurred scenery in her eyes immediately became clear.
Nonō Yakushi walked toward the street, and the expression on her face slowly changed.
The originally tense and indifferent face gradually showed a gentle smile.
Her whole temperament instantly changed from a cold and ruthless Root ninja to a gentle girl next door.
"The Third Great Ninja War is about to begin again. I wonder how many children will become helpless orphans by then."
Thinking this in her heart, traces of sadness appeared in Nonō Yakushi's beautiful eyes.
Since adopting an orphan out of soft-heartedness during a mission...
She found that she was becoming more and more soft-hearted and had more and more feelings of a normal person.
For this, she even spent most of her savings to establish a new orphanage.
Even though she knew this mentality was a fatal weakness for herself as a Root ninja, she still inevitably did these things.
...
"I want to establish an orphanage."
In the Sand Village at night, listening to the whistling wind and sand outside.
Rasa said to Chiyo sitting next to him.
"Orphanage?"
"This... our Sand Village can't spare such a large place to build an orphanage, and this also requires a lot of funds and resources."
Chiyo said hesitantly.
Aoki sitting on the other side also objected:
"Fourth, there is no need to build an orphanage. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive."
Rasa shook his head slightly, his tone firm:
"The number of ninjas in our Sand Village is originally the least among the five major ninja villages."
"Establishing an orphanage can get us a large number of ninja reserves."
"And these orphans adopted by us since childhood, because they suffered when they were young, mostly know how to be grateful."
Establishing an orphanage was an idea Rasa had long ago.
During the war, countless children would lose their families, wander the streets, and eventually starve to death.
It was a pity to let them starve to death in vain like this.
Hearing this, Aoki was even more puzzled, his rough face full of strangeness.
"Uh, Fourth, if we really want to cultivate ninjas vigorously, there are a lot of children in our village to cultivate."
"Originally, we adopted the policy of cultivating one out of three because of severe lack of resources. There is absolutely no need to find outsiders to cultivate. After all, keep the goodies within the family."
Rasa frowned slightly, his tone carrying an unquestionable meaning.
"No, the children of the Sand Village must be cultivated, and those outside must also be cultivated!"
"This is my first formal order after becoming the Kazekage!"
Aoki finally shut his mouth helplessly and nodded gently:
"Yes, understood!"
Seeing that Aoki was obviously convinced orally but not in his heart, and the suspicious expressions of the Chiyo siblings.
Rasa slowed down his tone and explained:
"Don't worry, these children in the orphanage will absolutely not occupy the original ninja quota of the Sand Village."
"At that time, the number of graduates from the Ninja Academy will increase by half."
"Besides, haven't you noticed? The geniuses emerging from our Sand Village in these years have been decreasing year by year."
"These are all caused by our increasingly blocked environment."
Everyone present was stunned on the spot hearing this.
They hadn't thought of this reason, only thinking it was bad luck and geniuses were hard to come by.
Rasa began to explain.
After a period of time.
Looking at the head-sized Chakra Conductive Metal placed on the desk.
The expression of dissatisfaction on Aoki's face finally disappeared, and he nodded in agreement with admiration.
The Chiyo siblings also expressed their approval with relief.
A few minutes later.
Looking at the empty office.
Rasa wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If there wasn't this Chakra metal, it would be really difficult to convince them.
In the Warring States Period decades ago.
Taking ninja clans as units, fighting each other, hostile to each other, only using blood relatives of the clan as combat power, only marrying within the clan.
In this way, ninjas became complacent in a closed atmosphere, difficult to innovate.
Only inheriting the things of ancestors, eventually eliminated by the rapidly changing era.
This situation led to the continuous decline of most ninja clans, except for a few large clans where rare geniuses appeared to revitalize the clan.
Until Hashirama Senju established the ninja village.
Initially breaking the shackles of communication between ninja clans and recruiting a large number of civilians.
In this way, the development of ninjutsu ushered in a leap, the average strength also increased continuously, and geniuses emerged one after another.
Although the Sand Village also learned from Konoha's practice, it learned incompletely.
Up to now, the Sand Village has also shown the situation of those ninja clans in the Warring States Period.
Top combat power gradually became scarce.
Even the upper-level combat power was decreasing generation by generation, obviously showing a situation where one generation was inferior to the previous one.
The atmosphere of Sand ninjas became more and more conservative, thus burying many geniuses who developed later.
In the original work. In the Naruto era more than ten years later.
The huge Sand Village could only let Gaara, who had barely stepped into the Kage level, hold up the facade.
Famous Jonin like Baki and the like were also existences of the previous generation, and their strength was just so-so.
In the original work, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was attacked and killed by Orochimaru.
After being reincarnated by Edo Tensei, he could actually tie with the grown-up Gaara.
This already explained the situation very well.
So Rasa must make changes to the current Sand Village.
Establishing an orphanage and absorbing fresh blood from outside was a very necessary thing.
Since Konoha established the orphanage...
After every Ninja World War, they adopted a large number of war orphans for screening and cultivation.
Among these children, many became Konoha ninjas, and a few even became elites of the "Root" organization and Anbu.
Injecting a large amount of fresh blood into Konoha.
Konoha also became stronger and stronger because of this. After every Ninja World War, it was always the first to recover.
In the past, the Sand Village couldn't take care of itself.
Couldn't even take care of the children in its own village, of course, had no ability to build an orphanage and absorb foreign blood.
But now that he was here, the Sand Village had enough ability to build an orphanage.
Not only that, the current scope of the Sand Village was too small.
And many plans had become very unreasonable. It must be rebuilt to expand the scale of the Sand Village several times!
But this matter was not urgent. Once the Sand Village was expanded, too many parties' interests would be touched.
His current prestige was not enough, so he could only proceed slowly.
Rasa casually pulled out the documents on the table and looked at them with a frown.
And the matter of establishing a secretary system must also be brought up as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly, the Sand Village was just a relatively large-scale semi-militarized settlement.
There were only more than four hundred thousand residents, surrounded by endless desert, and had great autonomy.
There were not so many major events that must be dealt with every day.
Half of these documents piled on the desk were unimportant trivial matters.
But because there was no mature clerical system.
The management model of the Sand Village was to grasp everything from top to bottom. Even small things had to be seen by the Kazekage.
To put it nicely, it was efficient, responsible, and hands-on.
To put it badly.
It was actually a bunch of grass-roots teams who had been in power for a long time and barely gained some experience.
Constantly tinkering, filling various big holes, making it look like this now.
In fact, not only the Sand Village was like this.
The five major ninja villages were all grass-roots teams, just the pot calling the kettle black.
In the Naruto era more than thirty years later in the original work.
As the dignified Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki was so busy every day that he couldn't even go home.
Even Shadow Clones were difficult to spare to accompany his family, spending a lot of time on that pile of documents every day.
Powerful ninjas were not necessarily masters suitable for playing politics.
Therefore, Naruto's son Boruto resented him.
Even if Naruto worked so hard, there was still a pile of documents as tall as a person on the desk every day.
Hinata Hyuga in the original work also kept the empty room alone all year round.
Her husband was in the Hokage office building not far away, but she could only sleep alone and take care of the children alone every day.
Fortunately, this was just a shonen manga. If it were an adult manga, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In comparison, the reckless Cloud Village was smarter.
Specially established a secretary system to help the Raikage divide the work.
Rasa casually finished reviewing the documents in front of him and quickly picked up the documents next to him to review.
Rasa not only wanted to establish a secretary system.
He also wanted to establish a clerical ninja system consistent with the characteristics of the ninja world.
A clerical ninja system specifically responsible for handling administration and various matters.
They didn't need to go to the battlefield, nor did they need much combat power.
Just needed basic self-protection ability worthy of their ninja rank.
But this system must wait until after the war to have time to establish.
Rasa's ambition didn't stop there.
Deep in his heart, he hid a goal of unifying the entire ninja world.
If the five major ninja villages continued like this, they would only fall into the continuous cycle of war.
...
"Sister, you... you and Sister Pakura were both done by brother-in-law in the office?"
Yasha Lian looked at Karura lying on the bed and said with a complex expression.
Karura lay on the bed, holding a book in both hands. She read while saying softly:
"Yes, but it was really a rare experience."
A shameful and angry expression appeared on Yasha Lian's face. She turned her head away.
"Sister! This is too shameful. Even if you agreed to brother-in-law starting a harem, there's no need to do this!"
Karura's lips opened and closed, her devastatingly beautiful face full of indifference:
"You don't know the atmosphere at that time, and I didn't have much rationality left then."
"Anyway, it's done. What's the use of struggling with it?"
Yasha Lian sighed lightly, looking at her sister who was completely different from before with a complex expression.
Current sister, she exuded a charming feeling. This charm made her add a few points of charm compared to before.
However, since sister could accept brother-in-law starting a harem.
Then she should also be able to accept me, her sister, joining the harem, right?
This weird and deviant thought suddenly popped up in Yasha Lian's heart.
Thinking of serving a man naked with her sister.
Yasha Lian's heart beat wildly, and a shy blush appeared on her face.
Looking at her sister quietly reading the book, her mouth just opened slightly, but closed sadly.
...
The next morning.
Rasa watched Aoki lead 1,500 ninjas to the border of the Land of Earth.
An hour later.
In the same position, Rasa watched the receding figures of the ninja troops led by Pakura, Karura, Yasha Lian, and others.
Various reserve supplies had been sent to the border line by Chiyo in advance.
Therefore, this batch of ninjas didn't need to carry heavy supplies, only needing to bring five or six days of reserve rations, basically traveling light.
Rasa had a trace of worry on his face. Once the war started, he didn't know how many of this batch of people could come back.
He shook his head slightly, quickly formed a seal, and then his body turned into a puff of smoke.
Rasa appearing on the bright side of the Sand Village now were all Shadow Clones.
His real body was currently in a room, joining hands with Akatsuki to build the Chakra flying ninja tool Swift.
Clang, Zheng!
In a huge furnace emitting red light.
Rasa was shirtless, sweating profusely all over.
He held tools in his left hand, rhythmically shaping the Chakra Conductive Metal into suitable shapes.
Akatsuki next to him.
At this time, she only wore underwear and panties all over her body. Her white, plump, and hot figure was completely exposed in the room.
Akatsuki used tools to put the Chakra metal part in her hand, which had been rapidly cooled by ice water, into the furnace.
Then took out another Chakra metal part that had been burned by the furnace for more than ten minutes.
Put it into the cold water in another basin to let it cool quickly.
The Chakra metal part, which had long been burned red hot, immediately made a piercing sound upon contact with cold water.
A large amount of water vapor surged up quickly, making the room even hotter.
After Akatsuki finished the work at hand.
She didn't care at all about her underwear which had long been soaked by sweat and had no covering effect anymore.
Akatsuki just took a clean white cloth from the side, walked gently to Rasa, and wiped the sweat from his body.
Rasa just glanced at Akatsuki's underwear wetted by sweat, revealing the pink nipple tips, then looked away and said softly.
"As long as all these key parts are manufactured, the rest will be very easy. Tonight we can have the second Swift!"
Akatsuki didn't care about Rasa's gaze.
She just smiled quietly like a lady from a noble family.
...
"Set off tonight!"
Looking at the dense crowd in front of him.
The Third Raikage said with a voice like a bell.
"As the saying goes, all is fair in war. We set off in advance. They definitely won't expect us to act so early!"
The dense crowd of dark-skinned ninjas below immediately howled like ghosts and wolves.
