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

The half-hidden face of the ghost came before them.

"Hello, I am Ye Gui, the head of the Foreign Affairs Department of Sunagakure, from Konoha."

"Hello, I am Jiraiya from Konoha. I have come to Sunagakure to meet the Kazekage on the orders of the Hokage." Jiraiya introduced himself.

"Oh, so it's the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."

Ye Gui also knew of Jiraiya's great name.

The document has been checked.

Ye Gui invited him.

"Then please follow me, I will make arrangements for you."

Jiraiya and Naruto prepared to follow Ye Gui to the village.

Ye Gui stood still.

The two were puzzled.

The door opened again.

A long bus drove out.

It's not a maglev train, but a gasoline-powered bus.

The car stopped.

The car door opened.

Ye Gui: "Please get in the car with me."

The two followed Ye Gui into the car.

After getting on the bus, they curiously observed the things inside.

There is a driver.

The driver was dressed in ordinary clothes.

It's impossible to tell if they're ninjas.

Inside the long and wide carriage at the back.

Two rows of identical metal seats.

There is an aisle in the middle.

There are doors at the front and back.

There were about ten people in the car.

Both men and women.

Some people dressed as ninjas, while others wore ordinary clothes.

"Please find a seat wherever you like," Ye Gui said to them.

After the two sat down, Naruto asked another question. (Immortal Book Pavilion)

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Ye Gui: "This is the shuttle bus that runs between the village and the industrial park, picking up and dropping off people on time."

"Wow, this is so interesting. We don't have this in Konoha yet," Naruto exclaimed.

A smug glint flashed in Ye Gui's eyes.

The bus is just a small toy.

A subway connecting the two areas is currently under construction in the underground Sand Village.

"Wow, it's so cool and comfortable," Naruto exclaimed.

Ye Gui then introduced the car's air conditioning system to Naruto.

Jiraiya sighed.

I never imagined that I, from the wealthy village of Konoha, would be like a country bumpkin visiting the city, finding everything new and exciting.

Why did such a big change occur in Sunagakure?

The car drove to within 300 meters of the village.

It's another communication using passwords.

The gate opened.

Jiraiya looked out of the car window at the outskirts of Sunagakure.

Just like in an industrial park, the exterior walls are covered with all sorts of strange defensive weapons.

There are as many as ten of these tall crystal towers here.

After entering the village.

Jiraiya discovered that the village was a busy construction site.

The houses on both sides of the road they were walking on had been demolished.

Some workers were clearing away brick and soil debris, while others were digging ditches.

Some are building new houses.

Scenes like this were common along the way.

Although the weather was still hot in the afternoon.

However, everyone's enthusiasm for work remained undiminished.

Ye Gui: "Lord Mu Feng believes that the previous village plan was unreasonable, so he has begun a radical overhaul of the entire village's layout. Your going out or resting will be affected."

"You are welcome."

Jiraiya himself didn't expect to have any entertainment or leisure activities in Sunagakure.

Click.

The bus stopped.

The driver announced the stop: "We've arrived at Fengqiu Street."

"Please come with me."

Ye Gui led the two to a hotel on Fengqiu Street and checked them in.

"I have already informed Lord Kazekage, and he will meet with you when he has time." Ye Gui took his leave: "Then you may wait here."

"Can we get out?" Naruto asked.

Ye Gui: "Of course you can. You are envoys, not prisoners. But don't go too far so as not to delay the audience. Also, there are many places that are warned not to approach, so you must not get close."

"Thank you, uncle." Naruto expressed his gratitude.

Jiraiya: "Where are my three ninjas, Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, and Yamanaka Inoichi? I would like to visit them."

Ye Gui: "Oh, they're staying at the same hotel as you. I think they're probably having a drink at some restaurant around this time."

Jiraiya and Naruto were both taken aback.

Aren't they prisoners of war?

Ye Gui explained.

"Our Lord Mufeng is a magnanimous man. He told the three of them that they could move freely, but they could not escape from the Sand Village, otherwise they would be killed without mercy."

"Clearly, they are trustworthy."

"I hope you will also keep your promise and not run around recklessly."

Jiraiya: "Okay, don't worry."

Ye Gui took his leave.

Naruto turned on the room's air conditioner following the instructions given by Ye Gui.

The air conditioner is blowing cold air.

Naruto let out a satisfied cry: "That felt so good!"

Jiraiya exclaimed, "With air conditioning, even the desert can be a comfortable place to live."

"Perverted Sage, should we go find the three Nara?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya lay on the bed.

"What's the rush? Take a rest first."

"After four days of all this, I need to take a good shower first."

Naruto scoffed, "Idiot, where would you get so much water to bathe in the desert? And if you could, it would be very expensive."

This was completely unexpected for Naruto.

Their hotel rooms had a constant flow of water when the taps and showerheads were turned on.

Water is the source of life.

It is also an indispensable resource for industry.

While Mu Feng was constructing other facilities, he had already deployed ninjas to specifically investigate the groundwater.

Construct facilities such as water pumps, water plants, and pipelines to meet the needs of the village and industrial park.

He is also planning to find more water sources to prepare for the growing demand.

Chapter 46 Who Relies on Tailed Beasts for a Serious Person?

Mu Feng, Orochimaru stood at the tall construction site behind the Kazekage Tower.

This is a tower-shaped building under construction.

This is the planned new Wind Shadow Tower of Mufeng, the command center of the Sand Village, and the tallest building in the future Sand Village.

At this point, the building was just a simple frame.
