My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 177 respective transactions

Had dinner.

The time of Rashomon was about to end, and the Kirigakure called Link to the side alone.

"Hey, kid."

Momochi Zabuza looked at the forehead protector of the Leaf Village, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he said: "I agree to the deal you mentioned."

"I am willing to fight for you once for this dinner."

Anyway, he was a ninja and worked for others when he was alive, so it would be no big deal to return to the world and work for others after he died. After thinking about it over a meal, he met Maki, a guy who shared the same pain, and decided to take the deal.

After all, there is no way to resist if you disagree.

"However, every time you channel me out, you must bring Bai with you," he emphasized.

As a famous ninja, he was dead, so he died. He lost to Kakashi and the others because they were not as skilled as him, so he had to accept it.

But Bai is still young and should not sleep in the Pure Land like him, nor should he be used by someone.

"No problem." Link agreed readily. As for a transaction, the ideal situation must be that both sides win. Simple threats will not make the transaction last long.

Zabuza Momochi snorted, showing no respect for his employer at all, and jumped out of the house. He didn't want to spend the little time he had left with this nasty Konoha brat.

It would be almost the same if it were Naruto.

"Sorry..." Bai said apologetically, then jumped after him.

Maki stood by with his hands down and said, "I heard that there will be a three-nation meeting?"

"Aren't you going to go talk to your three subordinates?" Link asked from the side.

Maki didn't respond and continued to ask, "Gaara and the others are going back to the Sand Village, right?"

His political sense was still very good. He learned some things about Kawanokuni and the recent news from his three subordinates and immediately guessed a lot of things.

"What do you think?" Link did not answer directly, but asked back.

Some things cannot be hidden from others. Jinchūriki are very important bargaining chips, and there is no reason not to use them in the Tripartite Negotiations.

"I've talked to you before about going to the Sand Village." Maki said, "You should go to the Three Kingdoms for the talks this time. Let me meet the Fourth Kazekage, and I will teach you all the wind-style ninjutsu I know."

Seeing that Link didn't agree, he said, "If you have any other requests, you can raise them."

"I will think about it."

Link said that it was very troublesome to secretly trade with people from other villages. It was okay to simply trade with the dead, or let others meet the dead and play edge ball, and report it directly to Fengying.

Maybe it's a bit hard to hold on.

God only knows how much information Maki obtained while helping him fight. After meeting the Fourth Kazekage, that information would definitely have leaked out.

Gaara and the other two are different. They don't understand a lot of things, and their strength is not enough, so they can't analyze anything. As for Maki, an old veteran who has been through many battles, I don't know how many things he has in his heart.

Money is valuable, but ninjutsu is even more valuable. Unfortunately, his butt is in Konoha Village, so he has to throw both away.

Maki did not continue to persuade, but looked up at the night sky with a somewhat melancholy expression.

He never slept peacefully during his lifetime, and he never expected that he would have to devote himself to the village after his death. The situation in the village was much worse than what the outside world saw and imagined.

The poverty of the Land of Wind is well known, but the ninjas of the Sand Village are best at the extremely expensive [Puppetry] and [Poison].

Why did they cling to the magnetic escape technique when such a powerful puppet as the Chikamatsu Tenninshu was born so early?
It’s not because of poverty. The reason why the Sandai Kazekage can be called the strongest Kazekage and make the Sand Village prosperous is not because of anything else, but simply because he can make iron sand.

Ninja tools are munitions. In this war-torn world, it goes without saying how profitable it is to be able to refine iron sand anytime and anywhere.

After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village was not only in internal turmoil but also launched external wars because it was poor.

By the time the Fourth Kazekage came to power, the ability to pan for gold was far inferior to that of panning for iron. After all, gold was not a necessity, and its price was suppressed by the market and unscrupulous businessmen, making it difficult to maintain the operation of a village.

During the battle with Scorpion, Maki witnessed with his own eyes the Sand Kazekage releasing Sand Iron. No matter whether or not being a human puppet is against human ethics, this is the hope for the resurgence of the Sand Village.

And to think a little more blasphemously, the Sandaime Kazekage turned from a human into a puppet, not only could he make iron sand by himself, but he could also turn it into a family heirloom, serving as the village's pillar of support...

So he let Scorpion off when dealing with him and left his contact information.

As long as the puppets used to make iron sand can be repaired and put to use, allowing the village to regain its previous economic income, Maki will be the first to support Scorpion of the Red Sand to return to the village and become the fifth Kazekage.

However, he did not tell his three subordinates about Scorpion's contact information. It was not because he did not trust him, but because the three of them were in Konoha Village, and it was not a good thing for them to know too much.

【Time is up】

Maki felt his body and soul were bound. He looked at the starry sky again with nostalgia. The moment he was dragged into Rashomon, he was thinking inexplicably.

[When will I be able to find complete peace...]
-
In the Kingdom of Wind, somewhere in an underground base.

"Whoosh! Boom!"

Scorpion controlled the puppet to shoot kunai, tested it repeatedly, and after almost determining the launch trajectory, he silently picked up all the thrown ninja tools and began to correct the puppet.

He hasn't been doing well lately.

Literally.

The losses in the two battles with Link were too great. At that time, he was so hot-headed that he didn't think about anything. It's really painful to think about it now.

Ordinary human puppets are fine. If they are lost, they are lost. You can just capture and make them again. Compared with ordinary puppets, human puppets can not only inherit the power of the material before death, but are also very cost-effective. They are very suitable for him who came out of the Sand Village.

But the loss of the Sandaime Kazekage was too fatal.

Just because his puppets cost less than ordinary puppets doesn't mean he doesn't need to spend money.

If a human puppet wants to be transformed into a human puppet as powerful as Fei Liuhu or the Sandaime Kazekage's original body, the price must be sky-high.

So many ninja tools and scrolls are also of high consumption. With his usual fighting style, he would throw out a large number of ninja tools to attack at any time, and the combat losses were very outrageous.

Apart from non-renewable methods such as murder and robbery, the most direct way to sustain such expenses is the Sandai Kazekage's iron sand ability.

He could make many ninja tools by himself if he had iron sand, but now he has to buy them all, and he is extremely poor.

[I don’t know if that guy Maki actually passed on the information…]

Scorpion put down the puppet in his hand and thought silently that after he lost Orochimaru's target, he had been hiding in the Wind Country for so long, waiting for the people from the Sand Village to come up and cooperate with him.
