Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

A few days later, after several months, Yubi finally returned to Sunagakure.

Looking at the village nestled on the rocks and sand, he had a feeling of being in another world.

The houses in Sunagakure are completely different from those in Konoha, and are very distinctive... These are all the result of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, modifying the land based on the special environment of the Land of Wind, including the geographical location of Sunagakure.

In Sunagakure, you rarely see wooden structures like those in Konoha. Most of the houses here are arched houses or multi-story buildings made of sand and stone, and many of the roofs are oval-shaped.

The streets were paved with some rough stone slabs, but most of them were dirt roads.

In terms of prosperity, it certainly can't compare to Konoha.

Fortunately, the area it occupies is also quite large... However, due to the current Ninja World War, all the village's manpower has been urgently mobilized to carry out missions.

The casualties were also heavy.

This resulted in the streets being sparsely populated and somewhat desolate.

"It's already come to this...do we still want to keep fighting..."

Walking down the street, Yubi looked at the shops on both sides of the road, which were deserted and seemed to have little business. She sighed inwardly.

The village's leadership couldn't possibly be unaware that the recent Ninja World War had depleted the village's military reserves and severely impacted trade and the economy.

Even so, they were still determined to settle the score with Konoha.

That's incredibly stupid.

Because of the decisions made by higher authorities, the future of the entire village was ruined.

The situation in the Land of Rain is rather unique. Hanzo had no choice but to fight; he had to throw one punch to avoid a hundred more... He was fighting to the death to expand his territory. To put it bluntly, he had nothing to lose... But the Sand Village was too large and powerful to charge in recklessly.

Moreover, although Hanzo may seem reckless and domineering, as a powerful figure in the ninja world, he is actually quite intelligent. Seeing that the fight was almost over and there was no hope of winning, Amegakure simply stopped.

Only Sunagakure remains, still locked in a fierce battle with Konoha.

If this continues... the very foundation will be destroyed.

But right now, Yubi is just a low-ranking genin. Although he understands the future fate of Sunagakure, there is nothing he can do to change it for the time being.

"Yubi... is back."

A shop owner saw Yubi and greeted him warmly.

This shop sells bean cakes... Yubi and his friends used to frequent this shop after school when they were in ninja school.

"Um."

Yubi nodded with a smile.

This owner was probably one of the few people he had met along the way who had a relatively cheerful expression.

Because he was just an ordinary citizen, there were no ninjas in his family.

Most people... had a slightly gloomy and depressed expression.

Afterwards, Yubi first handed over his task and received his reward.

The mission he was originally assigned was rank C, but because Amegakure suddenly launched a large-scale operation, his mission rank was upgraded to rank B.

His subsequent raid mission with Arai and Sasori was classified as A-level.

Although this task was issued solely by Arai, it was acknowledged by the village.

Thus, Yubi became the second genin in the village, after Sasori, to successfully complete an A-rank mission at his age.

Judging from the rewards he received, it is clear that Sunagakure is currently facing a financial crisis.

A normal C-level mission would yield a reward between 30,000 and 100,000 taels of silver.

This is the standard for the Great Ninja Village. The exact number depends on the difficulty of the mission... Anyway, this is the total number. If it is completed by one person, then it all belongs to them.

If there are many people, then distribute them equally.

Yubi and his team were on a small mission as a trio. Even if he survives and completes the mission, he will only get one-third of the loot.

He has completed two missions so far, one at level B and the other at level A.

The reward for a B-level mission is between 80,000 and 200,000 taels.

Grade A is between 150,000 and 1 million taels.

His patrol mission was a small team mission, and he was only allocated one-third of the taels, which amounted to only 20,000 taels.

Even multiplied by three, it still doesn't reach the minimum standard for B-level mission rewards.

The A-level mission was also completed by the three of them together, with each person receiving 40,000.

In other words, from the two missions, B-level and A-level, Yubi earned a total of 60,000.

Ignoring the difficulty of the task, even when meeting the minimum standards, it still didn't meet the requirements...

It was obvious that the village was running out of money.

However, 60,000 taels was clearly a huge sum of money for him.

As a war orphan, his parents were both ninjas who sacrificed their lives for the village. Yubi receives a monthly allowance from the village, not much, but enough for him to live on.

In this world, a normal expenditure of around three hundred taels would be enough for a child to stroll through the entire commercial street.

But if it's a ninja's spending level and mindset... then they have no idea how much they'll spend.

Because the resources for ninja tools and training alone are a huge expense, such as soldier rations, explosive tags, and kunai.

Although the village provides each ninja with basic supplies, that amount is simply not enough on the battlefield... For ordinary ninjas, to survive on the battlefield, they definitely need to prepare more supplies in private, which requires them to pay for it themselves.

Moreover, ninja tools and war supplies are undoubtedly the most expensive "luxury goods" in this world, and their prices are very high.

Since her parents died, Yubi has been saving money, and after several years, she has only managed to save a little over ten thousand.

Now, one mission is enough to make it all back... This shows how fast the ninja profession can make money.

But the more you earn, the more you spend.

Furthermore, for some truly powerful individuals, tens of thousands of taels of silver are nothing, just a drop in the ocean.

Only a newcomer like Yubi would think it's a huge sum of money.

Having just finished delivering the mission, Yubi followed Arai to the most conspicuous sand tower in the village.

That's... where the Third Kazekage works.

As for Scorpion, he did not go along. After handing over his mission, he immediately took on another mission and then left the village.

He seems...unwilling to go home.

Seeing this, Yubi didn't say anything.

……

Soon, Arai led Yubi past the guards and into the building.

They knocked on the door of Fengying's office.

"Come in."

A familiar voice came from inside the house.

Arai and Yubi entered one after the other.

Upon entering, Yubi discovered that in addition to the Third Kazekage, there were other high-ranking members of the village.

Granny Chiyo and Ebizo were both there, along with two other unfamiliar faces.

Judging from his attire, he was undoubtedly a prominent figure in the village.

They were all wearing long robes characteristic of the Land of Wind, which could protect them from wind and sand.

"Scorpion... he's gone."

After greeting the adults, Arai glanced at Granny Chiyo and said something.

Chiyo's eyes darkened upon hearing this.

"Is this the child you were talking about...?"

All eyes were on Arai, and some people were curiously looking him over.

"It's been a few months... quite a change." The Third Kazekage still had that serious expression, but he managed a rare smile when facing Yubi.

"Although he didn't complete it independently, for someone so young to be able to participate in an A-rank mission, Arai's evaluation of him is quite high... This shows the child's talent," Granny Chiyo also praised.

With so many important figures present, Yubi appeared completely unfazed, merely offering a smile in response to their praise.

He knew very well why Arai had brought him to see the Kazekage.

"alright…"

The Kazekage looked over. "Yubi, show us that ninjutsu you created... let us see."

"Tell us more about the ideas and inspiration behind your creation of this ninjutsu... especially the hand seals you form when you mobilize and control chakra."

"Creating your own ninjutsu is not that simple... The idea is good, but putting it into specific details and executing it, combined with chakra and hand seals, is quite difficult."

"Especially, you need to have a high level of skill in hand seals... Different hand seals have different effects. They need to respond to your ninjutsu, and you also need to coordinate with the control and release of chakra to form a complete system. To be honest, this is not something a genin like you can do... Even I would find it difficult to create an A-rank ninjutsu in a short period of time... When Arai sent me the message, I found it incredible."

"Do you know... what this ability of yours means?"

coming!

Yubi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm, grinning and saying, "Actually, the process was a little difficult... but overall, I think it was quite simple."

As he spoke, he took out piano strings from his waist bag.

His words made everyone present jump.

Simple?

Does this brat even know what he's saying?

To create a ninjutsu, one must have an extremely thorough understanding of the essence of ninjutsu. This does not refer to a specific ninjutsu, but rather the principles of all ninjutsu.

It requires a large amount of accumulated knowledge and experience.

The most representative person with this level of skill is Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu" in Konoha, who is proficient in a variety of ninjutsu.

But Yubi is a medical ninja, and he only learned basic techniques like the Three Body Techniques at the ninja academy... Even if his parents left him some ninjutsu scrolls or trained him in some skills before they died, it shouldn't have come to this extent.

Yubi's parents were both Chunin.

If Yubi had previously come into contact with the Healing Palm Technique, a medical ninjutsu, during her internship at the hospital, and learned it through sporadic guidance from others, then in the eyes of the Third Kazekage and others, it could be attributed to her innate talent.

That self-created ninjutsu... is truly a bit monstrous.

It completely defies common sense.

The problem is... he's just a genin, not even ten years old yet.
