Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

Page 44

A wheeled maglev truck floats and moves forward on the sand.

Unlike their long, narrow carts used for catching sandworms.

The truck coming from the opposite direction is a legitimate truck.

It has a cockpit, an engine, a cargo hold, and wheels.

Once it leaves the desert, it will land and switch to running on oil.

This is the fourth one we've encountered.

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

"What exactly are they transporting?"

Jiraiya blurted it out without thinking.

Yin Feng chuckled beside him, "These are all daily necessities such as bowls, chopsticks, cups, and kitchen knives."

This is not classified.

Anyway, you can find out by just walking around Sunagakure.

Jiraiya and Naruto were stunned.

Is this impressive-looking vehicle used to transport daily necessities?

Yin Feng: "Haha, the village also needs to make money, and making these kinds of products is the easiest way to make money."

"Brother Yinfeng, shouldn't ninjas protect the village?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

Both he and Jiraiya saw that the driver was a ninja.

"Yes, we are protecting the village."

Yin Feng then recounted what Mu Feng had mentioned.

"Even if a ninja masters their ninjutsu and kills countless enemies, if their family and neighbors are still hungry and living a precarious existence, can that be considered protecting them?"

"Ninjas not only need to know how to kill, but also how to do business and produce."

"Through production and business operations, we can create wealth so that everyone in the village can live a prosperous life."

"These are the true ninjas of the Sand Village."

"This is true protection."

These are the words Mu Feng spoke to all the Sand Ninja when he was reforming the ninja organization.

The last sentence is: "Here, I hope that someone will step forward to become a business ninja, a craftsman ninja, and contribute to building a better Sunagakure!"

Inspired by Mu Feng, Yin Feng joined the Shang Ninja and became the captain of the third squad.

Naruto didn't understand at all.

He grew up in Konoha Village, and apart from being lonely, his living conditions were excellent.

He couldn't understand the suffering that resource scarcity brought to Sunagakure.

The desire of the Sand Village to change their lives.

What ninja honor?

What kind of ninja can only be a ninja?

It doesn't exist for Sunagakure.

Jiraiya had experienced many hardships and the vicissitudes of life, and understood all kinds of suffering.

He could understand the Sand Village.

"If you put your energy into production and management, the village's ability to take on missions and protect itself will decrease," Jiraiya kindly reminded him.

Yin Feng laughed and said, "Our village no longer accepts any missions."

Naruto was stunned.

Eyes wide open, mouth agape.

He was completely confused.

Where are there ninja villages that don't accept missions?

Even Jiraiya, who had seen all sorts of situations, was dumbfounded.

"As for the defense of our village."

Yin Feng revealed a mysterious smile.

"I advise you not to wander around aimlessly once you get to the village."

Jiraiya and Naruto's expectations for Sunagakure have now reached rock bottom.

They both couldn't wait to see the Sand Village.

The next afternoon.

They finally saw the building.

The two stood on the sandworm and looked out.

It was a complex of buildings enclosed by a high wall.

Viewed from a distance.

The first thing that catches the eye is the four tall metal towers at the four corners.

They were shiny, gleaming with light, as if made of crystal.

Even a 20-meter-high wall looks low in front of them.

Behind the wall are rooftops of varying heights, chimneys, and towers.

Looking at the rows of buildings.

Naruto was overjoyed.

"We've arrived at Sunagakure."

Soon we will see the Sand Village we've been longing for.

Naruto jumped up.

Jiraiya was puzzled.

This seems quite different from the Sand Village I remember.

"Haha, the village is still thirty miles away."

The sound of the wind pointed them in the right direction.

"Then what place is this now?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

This place doesn't look much smaller than a village.

"That's the Faraday Industrial Park."

Yin Feng drove the car to a spot 200 meters from the park gate.

He took out a box-shaped communicator.

"The captain of the Third Division of the Merchant Ninja requests entry into the park."

A voice came from the box.

"Imperial Jade Liquor".

Yin Feng replied, "One hundred cups."

"Password verified, you may enter."

Mu Feng still built the remote communication system he had always hoped for.

However, it can only be fixed, using a sensory ninja as a terminal and external communication facilities to connect the terminal within a one-kilometer range.

Its practicality still needs improvement.

Click.

The two steel gates of the park opened automatically.

Yin Feng: "You two don't have permits and cannot enter the park. Please wait here for a while. I have already notified the Foreign Affairs Department, and they have sent someone over to pick you up soon."

Jiraiya and Naruto got off the bus.

Yin Feng led the team, escorting the sandworms inside.

Jiraiya and Naruto were also able to catch a glimpse of the interior of the so-called industrial park.

The road was too wide, and there were cars of all sizes everywhere, as well as neat and tall houses along the roadside.

"Uncle, what's that?" Naruto pointed to the strange thing on the wall.

Some of them are long tube-shaped, while others resemble cannon barrels.

There are probably a dozen or so.

The pipes and the gun barrel were moved from time to time.

Jiraiya looked at the objects that gleamed with a cold metallic luster and guessed, "They must be some kind of defensive weapon."

He guessed correctly.

The walls are equipped with defensive weapons such as automatic ninja tool launcher machine guns and automatic explosive tag launchers.

This is the Sunagakure's visible defense.
