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

"You three have been staying in Sunagakure all this time. Do you think there's a high chance of that happening? Would the Kazekage, Momo, agree?"

Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Nara Shikaku together.

He is the strategist.

His opinion represented theirs.

Nara Shikaku was the first to state his conclusion.

"Very likely."

He then presented his arguments.

"As you can see, Sunagakure is currently undergoing a major construction project."

Jiraiya, Naruto nodded.

“If Mu Feng wants to prepare for war, then he should make military preparations.”

"However, according to our intelligence gathering, besides building the village, the busiest thing in Sunagakure is producing all kinds of daily necessities and selling them in various cities."

"In order to produce and sell, they even laid off half of the ninjas and made them do it full-time."

"If he is preparing to use force, I don't think he will reduce his military strength."

Jiraiya, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi nodded.

Naruto exclaimed happily, "It's great that we don't have to fight!"

Even without waiting, Jiraiya was happy.

"but."

Nara Shikaku abruptly changed the subject.

"This is just my personal speculation. Whether it is accurate or not depends on Feng Ying Mu Feng's personal opinion."

"I've met him a few times, but I still can't see through him. He's just too mysterious."

"Perhaps all the so-called large-scale construction is just a disguise."

After all, Mu Feng's actions were too drastic.

Basically, it involved demolishing the entire village and rebuilding it.

All 70,000+ people of Sunagakure were mobilized to participate in the construction.

It's really eerie to look at.

He has the highest IQ; even Konoha's genius strategist, Nara Shikaku, couldn't see through him.

Then I won't waste my effort.

Jiraiya raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, I'm just a messenger."

"Let Tsunade deal with Mu Feng."

Naruto: "Perverted Sage, that's so irresponsible of you."

Jiraiya slapped him on the head.

"Fool, an envoy should just do his job as an envoy."

"Don't do things that are too clever for your own good."

"Then I'll trouble the three of you to wait a moment. We will begin talks with the Wind Shadow as soon as possible."

"Okay," the three agreed.

Then the group talked about the situation in the village and their families.

Jiraiya and Naruto waited for two days before Mu Feng summoned them.

Ye Gui came to the door.

"Lord Kazekage summons you."

Mu Feng even specially sent a maglev car.

Jiraiya watched as the car drove away from the Kazekage Tower, heading out of the village.

He's strange.

Is Lord Kazekage outside the village?

"Yes, Lord Kazekage is very busy every day. I only had time to see you today."

Ye Gui reminded him.

"Lord Fengying often says that we should be scientific and efficient. I hope you won't waste Lord Fengying's time."

Jiraiya: "No, we came with sincerity."

Ye Gui, sitting in the front passenger seat, nodded and said nothing more.

Jiraiya and Naruto in the back row looked out the window at the scenery.

The car drove for almost two hours.

Outside the window, the view remained the same: endless sand dunes, a monotonous sight.

Where exactly did Mu Feng meet with them?

Are they planning to ambush them in the wild?

Just as Jiraiya was thinking this, Naruto called out, "Uncle, look at this pipe, it's a really thick pipe."

Jiraiya looked towards Naruto.

Four pipelines stretch across the desert into the distance.

They are incredibly long, like dragons.

Each one was also incredibly large.

Judging from the direction it's extending, it should be heading towards the industrial park.

Is this a pipe that transports something?

In the past two days, the two of them have seen many pipes in Sunagakure.

Unlike Konoha, Sunagakure doesn't use telephone poles.

They even made the electrical wires into conduits and buried them in the ground.

"where!"

"where!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

Jiraiya looked over there.

Countless tall steel buildings appeared on the horizon.

They are arranged in an orderly fashion, one by one, constantly twitching up and down.

What is that thing?!

Chapter 48, Part 1: Konoha compensates Sunagakure.

Naruto asked a question.

"Is that a giraffe?"

Jiraiya had never seen it before.

Ye Gui scoffed: "That's an oil drilling rig."

Oil drilling rig.

Jiraiya and Naruto looked curiously at the rows of drilling rigs.

In this desolate desert, giant drilling rigs stand in the oil field, a sight that is awe-inspiring even from a distance.

Upon closer inspection, what you see is even more astonishing.

This is a spectacular sight that can never be seen in Konoha or other ninja villages.

Jiraiya and Naruto saw Kazekage Mufu.

He was standing on a pile of steel ingots.

He clapped his hands together.

A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

An oil drilling rig appeared out of thin air on the spot.

Jiraiya shocked Naruto.

Is this the unscientific ninja tool maker that Kakashi was talking about?

This creation of ninjutsu is truly illogical.

Jiraiya himself couldn't figure out how he had done it.

After the oil drilling rig appeared, workers came to operate it.

When the wind blows, it flies down.

He landed in front of the oilfield workers' residential and office buildings.

Ye Gui happened to drive up as well.

The three got off the bus.

Ye Gui: "Lord Mu Feng, the Konoha envoy has arrived."

Mu Feng: "Oh, it's Jiraiya and Naruto, right? Then please come in."

The four of them went into an office together.

Mu Feng: "The conditions here are basic, so please sit wherever you like."
