Chapter 91 What am I interested in? I have no interest. Don't talk nonsense.
"Dingling bell~~"
"Dingling bell~~"
From afar, the sound of camel bells could be heard.
Looking around, there are densely packed ninja beast camels carrying large amounts of ore.
This is the Sand Country Mineral Troops, a very special ninja troop in the Sand Village.
Especially since they don’t have to go to the battlefield.
The reason is also very simple.
The main task of this ninja unit is to mine various ores for making puppets, which can be regarded as logistics within logistics. The backbone of this unit are all ninjas who are proficient in reconnaissance and mining. For example, the Third Kazekage once came from this unit, because his magnetic escape technique is a very useful tool for finding iron ore.
In fact, after the Sandaime Kazekage became Kage.
The efficiency of this unit in searching for iron ore was directly reduced several times.
Of course, in recent years, this army has ushered in its spring again. The current deputy minister of this army is named Luo Sha.
He possesses the gold escape technique which is rarer than the magnetic escape technique. This technique can extract gold from certain yellow sands rich in gold mines. In battle, it is no different from the magnetic escape technique, but the problem is that gold is more expensive than iron.
Although the money in the ninja world is mainly made of chakra paper rich in chakra ore, gold is still valuable.
The money in the ninja world is a commodity in itself because it is rich in chakra ore. Once a war breaks out in certain areas, the money will even be melted down to collect the ore for use in the war, which will lead to a shortage of money.
Therefore, gold, a metal that is equally stable, rare, and has a certain chakra-guiding property, has become a lower-level substitute for chakra ore and is also one of the currencies of this world.
Therefore, Rasa had already been a famous ninja in the Sand Village and even in the Country of Sand. After all, even if most of the gold he seized belonged to the Sand Village, as long as a small portion of it remained with him, it would still be a huge sum of money.
Even many ninjas have privately said that he alone is the third faction besides the civilian faction represented by the Kazekage and the ninja family faction represented by Chiyo. As long as he does not commit treason, he can give face to both the Kazekage and Chiyo.
Nothing else, Luo Ye's secret technique is just Ninja Method - Money Shield
"Rosa Jounin, we have received all the ore. Thank you for your hard work."
In the warehouse, the ninja in charge of counting the ore said very politely.
"polite."
Luo Sha waved his hand.
"By the way, I was planning to take the team here to rest, but when I came here, I found that all the hot springs and bathing places were closed."
What Luo Sha was talking about was this front-line logistics base.
In a sense, this place has been developed into a small town, and because there are minerals everywhere, the combat effectiveness of the Third Kazekage here has been almost maximized. Even Hanzo of the Salamander knows that puppets are being produced here continuously and rarely sends people here.
After all, this is the characteristic of the magnetic ninja of the Land of Sand. If the environment is not good, the combat effectiveness will drop sharply, but once the environment matches, the combat effectiveness will increase rapidly.
If Hanzo of the Salamander dared to bring his summoned beast here in person, he might be able to destroy this base, but he himself would most likely have to die in this steel town along with his summoned beast. The magnetic escape technique that can penetrate anywhere would be a real headache if there were enough of them.
Therefore, in order to relieve the pressure on the frontline soldiers, this place has gradually inherited many relaxing functions, such as bars, restaurants, bath centers, and the like. Many ninjas who are rotated down from the front line to repair puppets will also choose to consume here.
"that."
The ninja looked around and then came closer to Rasa.
"You may not know yet, but I heard that Master Tuge Yizhuzi is coming."
"Oh~~~"
Hearing this, Luo Sha nodded slightly.
"Tu Ge Yi Zhu Zi is the wife of the Third Kazekage Tian Shui Yu Lizhan. The entire Sand Country knows that this Kazekage is a man who is afraid of his wife. And coincidentally, the men of the Wind Country are very open-minded on those issues because of the general environment here. Otherwise, these Tangyu and bathing centers would not be opened on the front line."
“Then, the problem arises.”
Lady Tugeyi Zhuzi hated this kind of place very much, so every time she came here, these places would receive the news in advance and close down, and would only reopen after she left.
"But. Rasa Jonin."
But soon, the ninja winked again.
"Actually, I know there's another place outside of town, if you're interested."
"What interests do I have? I have no interests. Don't talk nonsense."
Luo Sha quickly waved his hand.
"However, the brothers who came with me are indeed a little tired and need a good bath. Give me the address."

In the workshop, Li Zhongren was still studying the differential he had envisioned.
To be honest, this kind of research work is really interesting, and he never thought that one day he would be able to rely on the blood of the sacred tree to do real research. This feeling of growing a brain is quite fun. No wonder Li Harry is addicted to it.
"So, you are Hehuo Beidao?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Li Zhongren's thoughts.
He turned around and saw a woman in her forties, dressed in the style of the Wind Country. She was wild yet sexy. If he had to describe her, she was like a large-sized Temari, but more mature.
"You are..."
"I am Tugoyi Bamboo."
"Oh! You are the teacher's wife. I heard from the teacher that you will come here to visit the teacher. However, the teacher said, isn't it tomorrow?"
"hehe."
Tu Geyi Zhuzi raised the corner of his mouth slightly without explaining.
"I heard from your teacher that you are studying something called a differential?"
"Ah."
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, Madam."
"So, the biggest function of your differential is to allow the puppeteer to save a hand?"
After Li Zhongren finished his introduction, a hint of surprise flashed in Tuge Yizhuzi's eyes.
"Yes, changing from six chakra lines to five chakra lines can just save one hand."
"I think your demo is pretty good, why don't you implement it?"
“Because we’re still a little short.”
"What."
"Master's wife, look, you..."
Li Zhongren was about to continue speaking when Tugeyi Zhuzi came closer. The fragrance from his body penetrated into his nose, so he instinctively took several steps back.
"Hahaha"
Seeing this, Tu Ge Yi Zhuzi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Men like you are rare in the Land of Sand. I really envy your wife. I heard that you have never been to Tangyu?"
"I haven't been there." "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, why hasn't it been implemented yet?"
“Because of the slipping problem.”
"Li Zhongren said.
"After installing the differential, the left and right hands can indeed be driven separately without interfering with each other, but the differential itself also prevents both hands from exerting force at the same time, because here, based on the structure of the movable gears, they cannot exert force together. If this structural problem is not solved, the teacher's mass-produced war puppets will lose their greatest function and retain the enemy's ability to control them."
"I see."
Hearing this, Tugeyi Zhuzi nodded. She also understood puppetry and naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with what Hehuo Beidao said. If this problem was not solved, the differential mechanism would be just a beautiful decoration.
"So, do you have any idea about this problem?"
"not yet."
Li Zhongren shook his head. Of course, he was lying. He already had a method, but he would not show it, at least not now. Otherwise, was he here to be an undercover agent or to aid the enemy? The invention that improved efficiency was already excessive in a sense, but there was no other way. If he didn't do this, he would have to spend a lot to get the attention of the Sand Ninja high-level officials. He had to be willing to give up. Only by giving up can you gain.
After all, the final victory or defeat is on the battlefield. Only by knowing the plan of the Sand Ninja Village can we respond accordingly.
"So, why isn't your teacher here studying with you?"
"As a shadow, the teacher must have his own things to do. If you rely on the teacher for everything, what's the point of us?"
"well said."
Tu Ge Yi Zhu Zi clenched his fists.
"Okay, you continue your research here. I'm going to find your teacher."
"Master, take care."
Outside the door, Tugeyi Zhuzi glanced at Ye Cang Pakula standing there, smiled slightly, patted his shoulder gently, turned around and left.
"you"
Ye Cang shuddered violently, because she didn't know when Li Zhongren's head was close to her, causing her heart to beat a few times.
"Have you noticed that Master's Wife seems to have a murderous aura?"
"."
"Sure enough."
"??"
"I'm good at observation. Although you don't like to talk, I can still see what you want to express from your expression."
"??"
"Really, I'm not lying to you, so, do you know where the teacher went?"
"Outside the village, underground cave hot spring center"
"., let's go, let's go too."
"???"
"Go and inform the teacher, otherwise, I think this day next year will be the anniversary of the teacher's death."

Outside the logistics town of the Sand Ninja Village, there is a secret underground hot spring bath.
Walking down the path, we suddenly saw a huge cave.
People were coming and going in the spacious hall.
On one side, there were people selling alcohol, and on the other side, there were dancers performing belly dances of the Sand Country. In the empty cave, some kind of puppets were playing music full of the Sand Country style. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the puppets were made in a very Sandaime style.
On one side of the cave, there is a staircase going down, which seems to lead to the depths of the dark forest.
At this moment, Luo Sha was drinking in a corner, enjoying belly dancing. As for the deeper dark forest, he really didn't want to go there, and there was no other reason. The man selling wine there was called Yashamaru, his brother-in-law.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Luo Sha?"
Suddenly, a voice attracted Luo Sha's attention. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Chiyo's son, Tianqi. After seeing him, he came up to him with a glass of wine.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Luo Sha raised his glass in gesture.
"I heard that brother has been searching for minerals in the Rain Country recently?"
"Ah."
Luo Sha nodded.
"Since this is our occupied area, the higher-ups want us to dig up their ore first."
"How did you gain from this trip?"
"It's okay."
“It’s hard work.”
“It’s very hard.”
"By the way, how old is Chief Sanada of your Mineral Corps now?"
Tianqi asked casually.
"Fifty-two years old."
Luo Sha shrugged and took another sip of wine.
"He's not young anymore. I think he should take a break and enjoy some peace and quiet. What do you think?"
"Yeah, I think so too."
Luo Sha raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"By the way, Minister Luo Sha."
Tianqi glanced around and covered his mouth with the wine glass. He seemed to be talking, but in fact he was gently scratching the wine glass with the chakra lines flowing out of his thumb. It was just a special code word for communication between puppeteers.
"(Code: I heard that the Land of Rain is rich in chakra ores. Do you think it is possible for you to find a chakra mine that happens to be accompanied by iron ore, which requires the third generation to dig it out?)"
"This is fine."
Luo Sha pondered for a moment and spoke.
“Is it realistic?”
Tianqi asked again.
"real."
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Tianqi's words. He wiped off the marks on the wine glass without leaving a trace and looked towards the door. Was it not his master's wife Tuge Yi Zhuzi? Or someone else?
She kicked open the door of the cave.
"Tianshui Yu Lizhan, get out of here~!!!"
This is what I owed yesterday, and there are two more chapters due in the afternoon and evening.
