“Let the elderly and women go first.
Children, stick close to your parents, don’t get separated.”
“Everyone must walk in an orderly manner, keep to the right, and go one by one.”
“Don’t rush, there’s plenty of space.
Everyone, absolutely do not rush, our Sunagakure will arrange everything well.”
After the ships entered the port, squads of Sand ninjas stood by the gangways, orderly arranging for the people to disembark steadily.
“Mommy, where are we.”
A red-haired little girl clutched her mother’s hand, looking timidly at the Sand ninjas nearby.
“Be a good girl, this is the Land of Wind.
We will be living here from now on.”
The girl’s mother feigned strength and said.
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
The girl’s mother knew her husband was covering their retreat, and she needed to support this family.
“This beautiful lady and pretty little girl, please follow me.
I will take you to where you’ll be living.”
A handsome young Sand ninja, with a gentle smile, spoke to the mother and daughter who were at a loss.
The woman and the girl both looked warily at the handsome Sand ninja.
Having just experienced the destruction of their family and home, they were cautious about everything around them.
Seeing this, the handsome Sand ninja didn’t get impatient.
He continued to gently comfort the two, occasionally telling a joke.
Under his comfort, the two gradually let go of their vigilance.
On another side.
“Adults with children, please come over here.
I will take you to rest.”
A young and handsome Sand ninja shouted loudly.
It could be seen that a group of people had already gathered beside him.
With the Sand ninjas’ advance preparation, Uzumaki Akizawa and Uzumaki Honoo’s diligent cooperation, plus the fact that the people from the Uzumaki clan who came were already physically and mentally exhausted, worn out, and had no energy to resist.
Everything proceeded orderly without any unexpected issues.
“Strange, are the looks in their Sunagakure all this high?
How come everyone is either a handsome young man or a pretty girl.”
Uzumaki Honoo looked doubtfully at the high-appearance-value girl receiving them and asked Uzumaki Akizawa.
“I don’t know.
In a desert environment, logically everyone should have rough skin.”
Uzumaki Akizawa was also quite puzzled; what was the reason for this.
Uzumaki Honoo looked at Uzumaki Akizawa with dark lines on his face.
It was the first time he realized this clansman brother was so direct.
“Uh, my two lords, could you please keep your voices down?
Also, living in a desert environment without my skin getting rough, and being pretty, is my fault.”
The young Sand ninja girl, with a tick mark vein popping on her forehead, smiled as she spoke.
As for the killing intent surrounding her, it already made the people nearby back away.
“Sorry, miss.
We were impolite.
Please tell us, why are all the Sand ninjas coming to welcome us young, handsome, and pretty.”
Uzumaki Honoo stopped Uzumaki Akizawa who wanted to keep talking and quickly apologized with a smile.
Rolling her eyes at Uzumaki Akizawa and looking at Uzumaki Honoo with satisfaction, the young Sand ninja girl spoke: “My name is Ye Nan, from the Ye clan of Sunagakure.
As for what you mentioned about being young, pretty, and handsome, that was decided by Lord Kazekage.
Lord Kazekage said that people are all visual creatures.
Seeing handsome and pretty people, the first impression will be very good.
It helps with harmony and unity between the two sides.”
“Uh.”
Uzumaki Akizawa and Uzumaki Honoo exchanged glances, both seeing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
This explanation was quite powerful, yet very correct.
Looking at the well-trained, constantly smiling Sand ninja young men and women who were gently explaining things to the Uzumaki clan members.
Especially seeing the children who, under their explanations and comfort, were already showing smiles.
The two had to admit that using young, pretty, and handsome people for reception was the most correct and appropriate decision.
“Miss Ye Nan, could you tell us some stories about Lord Kazekage.”
Operating on the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Uzumaki Akizawa quickly asked.
Seeing that the two were outsiders, good-looking, and they still had a way to walk, Ye Nan began to explain Yun Qing’s deeds to them.
“I have to say, Lord Kazekage is a wise man who sees things thoroughly.”
Uzumaki Honoo said with a hint of admiration.
In just this short while, in their minds, they had already imagined Yun Qing as a perfect figure: young, handsome, taking up the heavy responsibility of Sunagakure in times of crisis, strategizing in the command tent, and winning battles a thousand miles away.
From small clues, one can see the big picture.
You might not completely see through a person, but you can definitely see a person’s ability to deal with the world and people.
This was what the two thought.
“It’s alright, I guess.
Lord Kazekage always says he himself is someone who judges by appearances, so he feels others must also judge by appearances.
He also said that reading more books, reading more newspapers, eating fewer snacks, and sleeping more helps improve intelligence.”
Looking at the two whose imaginations were running wild, Ye Nan shrugged and said speechlessly.
Her clan sister was Pakura.
After long periods of brainwashing, the image of Yun Qing in her mind was already quite fixed.
Therefore, she felt nothing towards everything the two were imagining.
Under Ye Nan’s guidance, Uzumaki Akizawa and Uzumaki Honoo met Ebizo, Sunasuke, Bunpuku, and the others who had disappeared after disembarking.
“Mr.
Akizawa, Mr.
Honoo, what we need to discuss now is your arrangements.
You can state your plans for what comes next.
Just now, I studied Sunagakure’s recent development situation, so I didn’t have time to receive you.
As compensation, I can provide you with some ideas.”
After the two sat down, Ebizo briefly explained his disappearance just now.
“We have understood a portion of Sunagakure’s situation.
We plan to take the path of medical ninjutsu.
We plan to commercialize medical ninjutsu for commoners.”
Uzumaki Akizawa glanced at Uzumaki Honoo and spoke the words they had prepared long ago.
He also wanted to see what Ebizo’s intentions were.
“Medical ninjutsu, huh?” Ebizo tapped the table, deep in thought.
“A very good path.
Lord Kazekage has always said that medical care is infrastructure, a necessity for the development of any faction.
If you can promote the medical development of Sunagakure, Lord Kazekage will be very ‘happy’.”
Ebizo gritted his teeth on the word ‘happy’ at the end, then changed the subject and said: “Can you tell me why you’re developing medical ninjutsu?
For most factions, this should be a blank slate, right.”
Ebizo was very puzzled.
He wasn’t joking.
Many ninja villages, even until now, hadn’t developed medical ninjutsu.
Only they and Konoha had started investing money into its development.
“Is that so?
Thank you for your guidance, Lord Elder.
We only thought of this after seeing Sunagakure’s development.
As for the foundation of our development, we once copied the research of the First Hokage and Lord Mito.
Although it’s incomplete now, with some supplementation, it should still be viable.”
Uzumaki Akizawa said with a smile.
Ebizo was still pretty good, or rather, Sunagakure was very eager to accept them.
Ebizo’s references were mostly to see which piece of the cake they wanted and whether it was easy to give.
Now that Ebizo hadn’t explicitly refused, it meant he and Uzumaki Honoo had gambled correctly.
“What enviable foundational resources.”
Ebizo did not conceal his envy.
