Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"Nohara Murashi and Fukushimaoka?"

That evening, Yubi met Scorpion dressed as an ANBU member at her home.

The other party handed over a document.

The above is a collection of people from Sunagakure who have made significant contributions in battle and are not much older than Rasa.

Yubi noticed two names.

Nohara Village Chronicle, nineteen years old.

Fukushima Oka was the same age as Rasa, twenty.

The reason he paid attention to them was because they were the older brothers of his students Sakamoto and Fukushima Taki.

Although they are also descendants of the village's clans, and the clan heads are high-ranking members of the village, they are different from those with bloodline limits or secret techniques like Yekura, as well as representatives of some old clans. These two families are representatives of commoner ninjas.

Both family heads had followed the Second Wind Shadow in the past.

Yubi himself, along with Scorpion, are now powerful figures in the village... yet they are clearly 'different' from this type of family.

There are class distinctions among them.

Sasori comes from the Chiyo family...and he possesses Blood Release techniques, just like Rasa.

To reshuffle the power structure at the top, the waters must first be stirred up... and in the current ninja world, the easiest point to create conflict is undoubtedly potential class conflict.

"The Nohara and Fukushima families show no signs of 'dissatisfaction' with Rasa's rise," Sasori said, noticing him staring at the two men.

"That's natural. The village's leadership is currently in unison, and Rasa's contributions to the village are widely recognized... With the Kazekage overseeing the overall situation, there won't be any major disagreements among the lower-ups. Right now, the village's focus isn't on this..." Yubi nodded.

"However... the fact that you were able to bring this information to me means that these two people... are clearly capable of making a fuss about it."

"Their relationship with Rosa is not good."

"Not surprising."

Yubi smiled slightly.

Rasa's personality is as strong as the Third Hokage's, and he believes in the value of being "useful" to the village. To put it bluntly, in his eyes, anyone he considers "useless" is simply ignored. Sasori, who is in front of him, also has this kind of personality, but because of his presence, he has been subtly changed a little, though not much.

"I'll try to subtly mention these two names more often, doing some 'publicity' for them in the village. Although the heads of these two families don't have a problem with Luo Sha, they can't completely suppress the conflict between the next generation. As long as the atmosphere is right... after all, they are their own offspring, they won't side with outsiders, right?"

Yubi said.

If a single spark is lit, what appears to be a minor conflict between Luo Sha's contemporaries could escalate into a clash between two powerful factions within the village's "class" structure.

When the time comes, the power factions in the village will definitely show a clear division regarding this matter.

It has to be said that Scorpion's efficiency is really fast.

"Once the water gets a little muddier, we can get started."

Yubi said to Scorpion.

Upon hearing this, Scorpion got up and left.

……

Nobody wants to be a shadow.

As I said before, it is an immense honor for a family to have a "Shadow" appear.

It is also the dream and goal that many ninjas strive for.

Instead of immediately taking action, Yubi first used two students to intentionally make contact with Fukushimaoka and Noharamura, and befriended them.

Then, he casually brought up the topic of Luo Sha to test the two men's attitudes.

After sensing the emotions and reactions of the two towards Rasa, Yubi began to subtly fan the flames.

In the hospital, he subtly praised Fukushimaoka and Murashiki's achievements and abilities to some Sunagakure villagers and others.

This suggests that both of them are equally qualified to compete for the next Kazekage position.

In expressing his admiration for Rasa, he intentionally linked the three names together.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be done too obviously; it's all interspersed in casual conversations.

It may mention some battles in which the two participated, rather than directly naming them.

At least judging from the content of the wording, there's nothing wrong with it.

Of course, the effects won't be immediately apparent; they will definitely need to be "incubated," and this is something that can't be rushed.

The hospital is one of the places with the highest foot traffic in the village, so news can easily spread and gradually affect others.

During this period, Yubi also contacted Fukushima and Oka under the pretext of checking the two students' training speed, but not too frequently, just occasional small gatherings.

However, during their meeting, Rasa will be mentioned intentionally during the conversation.

All Yubi had to do was fan the flames.

The root cause of the conflict among the three... lies not with themselves.

Rather, Fukushima and Oka harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Rasa.

That's the problem.

On the other hand, Luo Sha is also not very good at interpersonal relationships... he's a bit too arrogant.

The fact that the conflict could be escalated shows that while factional issues in Sunagakure are not as serious as in Konoha, they do exist.

It was just hidden offstage, not that obvious.

Yubi realized this very early on.

Especially before he rose to prominence, every time she met Ye Cang, before they could even exchange a few words, her accompanying elders would not want the two to have too much contact and would urge her to leave.

This shows that, deep down, some self-proclaimed superior class forces have a somewhat contemptuous attitude towards ordinary ninjas.

This is not an isolated case, but rather a "habit" that has been deeply ingrained in Sunagakure since its founding.

……

Meanwhile, Yubi also began to implement his own money-making plan.

The industry he wanted to monopolize, which was also a "necessity" in the ninja world, was medicine.

There are many medicines and potions in this world, but they are nowhere near as abundant as in my previous life.

Especially among the lower classes, the adoption rate is not high.

Most medical ninjutsu are designed to heal injuries, not cure diseases.

Many of these medications are primarily for treating external injuries.

This is a unique phenomenon born out of this era... After all, wars frequently broke out in the ninja world, and the main cause of death for the fighting forces of various villages was mostly external injuries.

In contrast, many diseases that are not so quick to kill are not a concern.

Many of the characters in the original work also died of illness.

This alone is enough to illustrate the point.

Yubi initially exchanged all of Kuro's inheritance not only because it would allow him to take a further step on the path of a medical ninja... but also because of this consideration.

Besides, he is now also a medical ninja... Although making medicine requires knowledge of pharmacology, it is not a problem for him.

What he needs is... to collect as many medicinal herbs as possible from this world and conduct research on them.

Based on his past life experience and his own abilities derived from the Black Man, including his understanding of the world as a medical ninja, he researched various drugs and tried to mass-produce them.

It's important to understand that medicine is an indispensable resource in any world.

Moreover, once a monopoly is achieved, the profits will be astonishing.

Similarly, like military resources such as ninja tools, there is an opportunity to profit from the Third Shinobi World War.

It will also help him build Sunagakure into the strongest medical system in the entire ninja world.

The Sand Village is skilled in poison making, and many puppeteers and medical ninjas are proficient in this field... Pharmacological research is also one of their strengths.

With proper training, it has great potential.

No one in this world possesses a knowledge base as vast as yours.

Some of his "knowledge" cannot be applied to this world, but even if only a small part can be used, it is enough to transform the economy of Sunagakure.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't.

The resources he wants to create... are not for self-sale, but for outsiders to come and buy them!

If his medicine could be circulated on the market and become widely available.

At that time... Sunagakure's medicines will be able to reap the wealth of the entire ninja world.
