Red sand dust

When I thought that such things would happen one after another in the future and let myself make a decision, Gaara couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness in his heart.

I'm afraid that's why Daimaru doesn't want to be the Kazekage himself! 』

Do you really think that high-ranking and powerful people have to take care of everything and deal with earth-shattering events every day?

Maybe, that's the case on some levels, but when it comes to Gaara's level, most of the time, what he deals with are trivial matters that are not too urgent, but are very symbolic.

For example, the air combat troops and civil organizations compete for the right to use airspace. The process and results are not of great concern to Daimaru and Gaara. The key is to set a benchmark for things that have never been encountered before.

With precedents, many things can be spread on a large scale and have meaning for people below to refer to.

Daimaru's previous life was very rare in the ninja world in classifying and listing laws and regulations. Generally, examples were issued from above, especially in the criminal field. The adjudicator has a lot of discretion, but if there is a precedent Cases rarely go beyond existing precedents.

Statute law is derived from modifications based on existing patterns in the past, while case law relies on the wisdom of ancestors.

The Kingdom of Wind is now in the midst of drastic changes that are waiting for reconstruction and everything is being renewed. There are many problems that the previous Sand Ninjas have never seen before. These trivial matters may not seem big, but their impact is far-reaching. Many of them require As the fifth generation of the Kazekage, Gaara made the decision himself, so that he could establish the first precedent within the inherent framework of case law.

The Fifth Generation Head, there is also a discussion meeting on official promotion and assessment and promotion. I need you to attend it. The advisory team asked if it should be postponed to the day after tomorrow?

Kroobil asked hesitantly, and Gaara's face became serious.

Why the delay?

It seems that the executive officers, inquiry officers, and guardians under the former daimyo have selected several representatives who want to participate in the discussion, as well as the inquiry offices, service offices, government offices, guidance offices, and assessment offices under their leadership. I also have opinions to state...

Are you trying to compete with us Sand Ninjas for the right to speak?

Gaara chuckled nonchalantly,

Ignore them, follow the plan, don't wait for them...

The so-called executive officers, explorers, and guardians are generals such as retainers and executive officers below the daimyo who can act independently. The five departments under their leadership are to assist the daimyo in preparing information, and in the direct territories such as documents and manors, military, and criminal affairs. An advisory body that provides advice on finance, civil litigation, political information, and diplomatic activities. The above two old officials are the aristocratic clansmen who originally held power in the Kingdom of Wind, and the old bureaucrats who held great power.

Now that the Sand Ninja has actually taken away the power of the Kingdom of Wind, these people are still noble, but they must be a little unwilling to lose their real power.

The Fourth Ninja War is over, so naturally there will be people who are ready to test Gaara's thoughts.

I'm afraid that in their eyes, a child under twenty years old controls such a huge country and is becoming more and more prosperous and involves such huge interests. This is a God-given opportunity for them to take advantage of it.

But……

But Luobi was a little hesitant, wondering if being too tough would cause unnecessary trouble.

Go and prepare. Don't worry about these... I have my own plan!

How could the benefits that Suna Ninja had paid such a heavy price to gain with difficulty be given away because of some old stubbornness in the past?

The soil that has not been watered by the blood of heroic ancestors will not be able to grow beautiful flowers or bear abundant fruits. A country established due to accidents or charity from others will also disappear for inexplicable reasons.

The beautiful home that the Suna Ninja built with countless blood, tears and sweat will never be stolen by inexplicable people.

Now that jade has been given away, it will not be so easy to take it back.

However, ninjas are not legitimate rulers after all, and Gaara's claim to the Kingdom of Wind is not impeccable. Once someone makes a fuss about the daimyo's family and shouts the slogan returning the great power, it is impossible to really confuse many people. Even the ninjas in this village were a little guilty. For example, Krobi in front of him, or the Kazekage Godaime, Gaara's follower, all thought that falling out with the public was not a good thing.

After Krobi exited, Gaara let out a long sigh.

“There’s a long way to go!”

The country can be changed easily, but the people's hearts are hard to change.

On the road to the rise of the Kingdom of Wind, there are still many obstacles waiting for Gaara to eliminate.

At this moment, in the shadow not far behind him, the sturdy bodyguard Kankuro said angrily:

Should we discuss it with Daimaru? Maybe he has some proper way to make those greedy guys retreat...

No!

Gaara responded decisively,

That's not what I want. Rather, it would be more desirable to cause some trouble. Problems on the surface are easy to solve, but hidden sores are even more difficult to cure. I also want to see, what is the problem? How many people are on our side and how many people want to overthrow us...

You...okay!

Kankuro shook his head slightly and stopped trying to persuade him. Maybe the big shots who really had a high vision had long known that such a day would come. Since no one tried to dissuade him, they must have acquiesced in Gaara's approach.

After all, you are the Kazekage, entrusted by the daimyo to be the country's 'Grand Imperial Palace' and the one everyone expects!

Even Daimaru is just the former agent Kazekage. It is difficult for him to come forward in some matters, and others have no position to make irresponsible remarks.

After all, ninjas are not legitimate political officials. Except for Gaara, who bears the title of Grand Palace, he is naturally shorter when he is in the same room with those arrogant nobles.

The strength of Sunagakure Village obviously exceeds that of the Daimyo family, but its status has not yet been widely recognized.

At this time, Gaara needs to work hard.

…

Because of the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War, not only Harubo was affected, but also the entrance examination and graduate evaluation of ninja schools.

The newly renovated and expanded campus of Sand Hidden Village is no longer the previous shabby appearance of low bungalows and yellow sand school grounds.

The entire new campus has a planned area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers. Currently, only the elementary department is used, which is the reform of the original ninja school. It includes basic courses and ninja teaching from elementary school to junior high school. The upper department is divided into elite education, among which The training of puppet masters and the design and manufacture of puppets account for nearly half of the resources.

The idea is wonderful, but there is still a long way to go to reach the ideal state.

Now, in addition to the main campus of the Ninja School and several huge training grounds, most of them are criss-cross planned green planting areas that produce fruits, vegetables, livestock, etc., providing resources for the school, as well as experimental materials.

Not only Daimaru understands the principle of rejuvenating a country through education, but also the natives of the ninja world have a deep understanding of it.

The idea that becoming a ninja can change one's family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is far different from the society in Daimaru's previous life where academic qualifications were devalued to the point that no one cares about them. It is only one step behind the ancient imperial examinations where studying and becoming an official brought glory to one's family.

Whenever a child is naughty and doesn't want to go to school, someone will always make excuses for Daimaru. That ordinary bad boy who was so naughty and had almost no bright spots other than causing trouble for others has become a very important figure in the ninja world. He lives in a high-rise building and is very popular. Drinking spicy food, beautiful girlfriends changed one after another, and the scandals didn't involve the same one.

Only by becoming a ninja can one hope to become a high-ranking cadre as majestic as Red Sand Dust.

In a sense, Daimaru can be regarded as a positive teaching material from his own experience, but his words are not very nice. Most of them are filled with the vision, hope and jealous imagination of the general public.

Because of this, the enrollment of Ninja School has been really hot in the past two years.

The gate with fluttering colorful flags was filled with noisy children and parents escorting them to school.

There are not only direct descendants of the Sunagakure Village headquarters, but also recommendations from Awaji Village, Naruto Village and other places in the south. There are also immigrants from other places who have made significant contributions and have received awards. Children of school age can enter the ninja school and have the hope to become A promising ninja.

Yukimaru, who was obviously a bit older than the newly admitted children, went through the enrollment procedures under the escort of Guren.

There were not many children like Yuukimaru who was obviously overage and had just entered school due to accidents, but they were not one or two, so he was not very out of the ordinary.

Sister Honglian, please go back. I have apprentice friends who are in the same grade as me, and there are also new classmates I met today. Everyone is very friendly...

Then...be careful, don't conflict with your classmates, and don't contradict the teacher!

After a period of study, Yukimaru became much more cheerful than before, chatting and laughing in interpersonal relationships, and finally looked like a normal child.

Originally, the option given to him by Sunagakure Village was to recommend him to enter an official workshop to continue his internship and further studies, but Yukimaru himself chose to enter a ninja school for systematic learning.

Although he is a bit older, it is not an exaggeration. After entering Sunagakure Village as Yukimaru, he made outstanding achievements and his performance in the Fourth Ninja War was also remarkable. Although he was under the control of Daimaru, his ability He showed his strength, but it was considered a very hard work.

In view of this, Sunagakure Village gave him more freedom.

Since Yukimaru is willing to take the orthodox path and become a Sand Ninja, Daimaru is also happy to see it happen.

Looking at Yukimaru chatting and laughing with his companions, Guren looked back with a little peace of mind. After turning the corner of the alley, he saw a red-haired Xianglin waiting for him.

Are you done? You have a mission, hurry up and set off...

what happened again?

The female daimyo of the Northern Bird Country asks us, Sand Ninja, to destroy the bandits entrenched in the water...

It's really a direct mission. Is it a wandering ninja causing trouble?

Xianglin shook his head:

A gathering place established by a smuggling gang, shuttled between the borders of the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Birds, the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Grass. Unscrupulous businessmen who transported contraband for profit occupied a geomantic treasure land and developed it into It is a lawless place with almost no official endorsement or control. It is full of wealth and greed. Many businessmen who traveled from north to south, after settling there, went wild, leaving behind many illegitimate children who did not know who their fathers were and whose mothers were unable to raise them...

A veritable mistress paradise?

Guren, who was well-informed, couldn't help but whistled narrowly and smiled teasingly.

In that kind of ghost place, the moral level is so low that it is appalling. Although there is a relatively strict order, it is all tilted towards the rich.

It's not too bad to say how bad it is. It is a place where fireworks and willows are established. It provides a place for business travelers from far away to relax and relax. By the way, it also plays a role in the transfer of bulk goods.

To a certain extent, a small country like Bird Country, which is sandwiched between two big countries, needs these merchants who wander in the gray area to provide necessary supplies. If they really want to follow the right channels, they are small and weak. The bones will be knocked, the marrow will be sucked out, the last drop of blood will be squeezed out, and the body will be eaten dry and wiped clean, leaving no residue behind.

It can't be done now. Because of the drastic changes in the Kingdom of Wind, the business and travel environment of the small countries in the western seam is very different. The overall economic and trade center has been transferred to the Kingdom of Wind, and the original 'Mistress' Paradise' has lost the injection of external resources. , gradually declined. It is said that the rise was difficult, but the decline is even more painful. The gray area that used to have some rules gradually fell into a situation that was exploited by criminals...

That's it!

Guren responded noncommittally.

No matter how unfair the rules are, they are still rules. They are better than no rules at all and everything is decided solely by the size of the fist and who can hit it better.

Although the law of the jungle has always been a timeless rule, if it really degenerates into the complete law of the jungle, the cruelty and evil in it will definitely surprise people.

A lawless place that cannot provide resources and continues to overflow with violent crimes has become a cancer in the Bird Country.

Calmly following Xiang Lin's footsteps, heading towards the northern country. After an unknown amount of time, Hong Lian, who seemed to have remembered something, suddenly asked:

Did something similar happen in the Bear Country last month?

Um!

Xianglin said without looking back,

I know what you're thinking. Do you think this is all a coincidence? It's a trap carefully laid out by Sunagakure Village, so that the daimyo of small countries ask for help, and finally indirectly exert influence and control these small forces?

Isn't it?

You are worrying too much. I can confirm that it was not the Suna ninja who intentionally promoted or promoted it, but...

Xianglin smiled meaningfully and said,

How can the wheels rolling forward care about the ants blocking the road? If you blame them, they are too weak. They can't protect themselves in the turbulent waves of the ninja world...

It's somewhat similar to what we experienced back then. We were homeless, and only under the command of Lord Orochimaru could we have a moment of peace...

That's because we have talent. How many unlucky people below us are working hard but have no choice but to be abandoned?

Xianglin turned his head slightly and looked at Honglian's side face.

Also, we are no longer the weaklings who survive by selling our bodies as guinea pigs, but Suna ninjas...
