The next day

The early morning sunlight shone through the window onto Uchiha Nan's face.

Uchiha Nan opened his eyes, rubbed them habitually, then walked to the window and opened it. The cool breeze in the early morning instantly woke Uchiha Nan up.

The hot springs in the Yunin Village are indeed worthy of their reputation. After taking a bath in the hot springs, Uchiha Nan seemed to have washed away his fatigue. The hot steam stimulated his skin to turn red. After walking out of the hot springs, he felt refreshed. He lay lazily on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
I had such a sweet sleep!

Uchiha Nan sighed and walked out of the room. The Five Kage Summit would not begin until tomorrow, so today was a good opportunity to visit this small ninja village, which could be called the paradise of the ninja world.

The area of ​​the ninja village is not large. Uchiha Nan walked around the village in a hurry, just like traveling in his previous life. The scenery seemed interesting at first glance, but it became boring after looking at it for a while.

The business environment in the village is fragile and all survival supplies have to be purchased from the outside. In a village full of hot springs, there is no way to grow crops on the land.

The villagers earn their living by selling local specialties and small handicrafts, which are mainly family workshops with backward production tools and low production efficiency.
Uchiha Nan shook his head. The economic potential of this village has not been fully developed.

It offers a one-stop service of bathing and massage, and for extra money you can go to the second or third floor to open a casino. Combined with the various entertainment resources that Uchiha Nan has, this place might become the happiest den of money-spending in the entire ninja world.

But now the folk customs here are still too simple. Uchiha Nan feels it's a pity.

Uchiha Nan felt that he had enough of sightseeing and planned to return to his residence. As soon as he reached the intersection, he saw a figure walking towards him as if by coincidence.

"What a coincidence, Hokage-sama!"

Mosa pretended to be surprised and said to Uchiha Nan that he had been waiting here for a long time and finally waited for Uchiha Nan.

In Mosa's opinion, this Five Kage Summit is just for wrangling. It's just a formality to sign some peace agreements, but when it comes to fighting, there is no ambiguity at all. It's really boring.

But after all, the Sand Village is one of the five major ninja villages, so you have to come if you have to, even if it's just to save face.

Now that he was here, Mosa felt that he had to bring some results back, and the Third Hokage in front of him was the best breakthrough.

According to the intelligence, Konoha has been very rich recently. During the New Year period, the whole village was full of lights and feasting. It is said that they made a fortune in business.

Mosa recalled the content of the intelligence. The intelligence personnel praised Konoha highly in the intelligence, and mentioned Uchiha Nan's various welfare measures several times. The envy, jealousy and hatred in the text had already hit Mosa in the face. The letters frequently mentioned "Hokage is really amazing" and "The Hidden Sand Village"... It seems that he was really dazzled by the colorful world of Konoha.

If the families of these intelligence personnel were not living in the Sand Village, Masa would even suspect that these intelligence personnel had planned to leave the Sand Village and completely throw themselves into the arms of Konoha.

Master Masa, please stop contacting me. I'm afraid Konoha might misunderstand me.
"So it's you, the Sandaime Kazekage. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

Mosa took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Uchiha Nan. He intended to hug this big leg of Konoha.

During the First Ninja World War, only the Hidden Cloud Village truly wanted to replace Konoha's position in the Ninja World and fought against Konoha from beginning to end.

The Sand Village just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to follow the Cloud Village and reap some benefits, but the plan was a good one, but the implementation was a mess.

Konoha recuperated and grew stronger during the time of Hashirama Senju, and by the time of Tobirama Senju, it had already reached its prime, and could easily defeat four enemies at once.

The Sand Village was beaten up by Konoha and then became obedient. The old warrior Senju Tobirama was very ruthless and he could strike with one punch to prevent a hundred punches.

Facing the weakest of the five major ninja villages, they really beat them to death, which shocked the other ninja villages at once. That is, the group of black barbarians in the Hidden Cloud Village were really fierce, and they fought a war of attrition with Konoha for several years.
People still have to face reality.

Even without Hashirama Senju, Konoha is still the strongest ninja village in the ninja world. The Sand Village has no intention of replacing Konoha. They have had enough of their own hard times and need to find a big brother for themselves.

It’s not shameful for Sunagakure to recognize Konoha as the big brother!
After a brief greeting, Mosa warmly invited Uchiha Nan to have dinner at a restaurant on the street.

In private room

After some toasts, Mosha seemed to be complaining about the difficulties of the Sand Village. It was located in the desert, with yellow sand all over the sky. It was difficult to even get a drink of water, let alone farming and development.

The Kingdom of Wind, this land is simply not suitable for human survival.

Mosa drank a glass of wine and sighed slightly.

If I, Mosha, had a family background like Muye, the mediocre people in the world would not be a concern.

Time has passed and nothing has been accomplished. I, Mosha, can only work as a gold miner in the desert to support the entire Hidden Sand Village. Can someone like me really achieve great things?
Which Kage doesn't want to lead the village to dominate the ninja world and become famous? It's a pity.
Uchiha Nan accompanied Mosa to drink a sip of wine. Mosa's end was indeed miserable. When he was alive, he worked as a gold miner to support the village. He worked diligently for so many years, but he didn't even have the chance to retire and was directly ambushed and killed by the village traitor Scorpion.

It would have been bad enough if the person had just died, but the corpse was also made into a human puppet.

It was already miserable enough at this point, but later Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the Sandaime Kazekage to duel with the traitor Scorpion.

Mosha watched helplessly as his soul and body fought against each other. If Mosha knew his future, he would have written a big word "miserable".

"Hokage, the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have always been eyeing Konoha. Now they have stopped, but in the future..."

Mosha's eyes flashed with shrewdness. Even if he was to be a younger brother to others, he had to sell himself for a good price and could not kneel down and beg others.

"Yeah, I'm worried about that, too."

Uchiha Nan pretended to be serious, sighed deeply, and looked sad.

The Sand Village is going to form an alliance with Konoha, and Uchiha Kusunoki should cooperate. After all, the Sand Village is also one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world. Although it is the weakest ninja village among them, it is not their fault. With such a crappy family background, even a god cannot turn the tables.

The fighting power of the Sand Ninjas is not weak at all, and the strongest warriors can always be honed in harsh environments.

Konoha also needs allies. It's not a good idea to always fight four people alone.

I know you are pretending to be reserved, and you know I have bad intentions.

The two of them responded immediately.

"boom!"

Mosa slammed the table and started to flirt with Uchiha Nan.

"The Hidden Cloud Village is the scourge of the Ninja World. They were the ones who caused the First Ninja World War. They even condoned the rebellion and killed the Second Hokage of Konoha."

"Well said, Master Kazekage!"

"It's so clear!"

Two people who share the same hatred for the enemy are happily cursing each other. In order to get closer, they always have to find a target to belittle, and before they know it, the two people are in the same camp.

"The Sand Village has always agreed with Konoha's peace philosophy. For the sake of peace in the ninja world and justice, the Sand Village will stand on the same side as Konoha at this Five Kage Summit!"

"Lord Fengying, you are truly wise and righteous!"

Mosha had a forced smile on his face. Everything was going smoothly now. He had said most of the polite words and it was time to get down to business.

"I heard that the Hokage is good at making money. It's embarrassing to say that the Sand Village is running out of money now, and the funding from the Daimyo has been cut."

"When the children in the village were in the most difficult times, they could only eat one meal a day, and the simplest thing was to drink water, in the Sand Village." Mosha tried his best to describe the Sand Village as miserable as possible, otherwise how could he ask Konoha for money.

Ding Dong, the long-lost system prompt sound rang, and a new task has been issued.

【Long-term mission: As Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. Human beings are always fighting against the cruel natural environment, changing the ecology of a region to make it suitable for human habitation.】

Mission reward: one chance to draw a gold reward.

The long-awaited golden reward mission has been revealed.

But this is another extremely difficult task. Uchiha Nan read the task requirements and sighed slightly in his heart.

This mission is obviously aimed at the Kingdom of Wind. If they want to transform the desert into an area suitable for human habitation, there is no other way except to plant trees and gradually change the surface environment.

The Kingdom of Wind is a country. To transform the environment of a country requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the funds required are astronomical.

Although this world has extraordinary powers that can reduce some difficulties, ninjas are ultimately human beings, not gods, and ninjas are only good at destruction.

Even if Hashirama Senju were to be resurrected, it would be difficult to achieve.

Hashirama Senju can summon Wood Release out of thin air and easily create a forest, but this forest depends entirely on Hashirama Senju's chakra to survive. Once Hashirama Senju cancels his ninjutsu, the forest will immediately return to its original form and become normal. They need a lot of water and nutrients in the soil to survive, but the Land of Wind is all sand. There is no water, let alone soil suitable for plant production.

"Ahem. Hokage-sama, could you please show some kindness like the Shodaime-sama and provide some assistance?"

Mosa coughed, interrupting Uchiha Nan who was immersed in the system task.

Uchiha Nan came back to his senses and looked at Mosa's eager eyes. It was obvious that he came to ask for money.

Damn, poor bastard!
"Kazekage, Konoha isn't rich either."

"You know, in order to win the First Ninja World War, Konoha almost had to pawn its underwear."

Mosa, you wouldn't just come to Konoha and get something for free by licking its face, would you?

In the ninja world, the word "ally" is of no use at all. You may be a good brother one second, but you may be stabbed in the back the next.

The little mustache guy signed a German-Polish non-aggression treaty with Poland. Then look at my blitzkrieg on Poland!
What Uchiha Nan hates most in his life is getting something for free!

"Kazekage, open the window and be frank. Konoha does need an ally, but it doesn't have to be you."

"Except for those idiots in the Hidden Cloud Village, you can also win over the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Rock Village, and Konoha. If you want to get assistance from Konoha, you will have to pay a price."

Uchiha Nan knocked on the table and made it clear that the time had come and continuing to speak politely would be a waste of time.

We are not in a war period now, so we don't need the Sand Village to help Konoha share the pressure of the military line. The advantage is mine now!
Mosa felt helpless. Konoha now had plenty of population, financial resources, geniuses, secret techniques, blood, and tailed beasts. There was only Sand in the Sand Village. What else could Konoha be interested in?

There is no bargaining chip at all!

But the village is too poor, so poor that one is bleeding in the urine. Daming can't be relied on at all. The family is penniless and has to rely on themselves.

"What does Hokage-sama want from the Sand Village?"

Since everything was made so clear, Mosa simply let Uchiha Nan make the conditions. They had nothing anyway, and the only good things they had couldn't be given to them.

"I am very interested in the Kazekage's Magnetic Release."

"no!"

Mosa showed an unhappy look. There were only so many good things in the Sand Village. Uchiha Nan, you really dare to speak up.

Magnetic Escape is the secret weapon of every Kazekage, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be leaked out.

"How about Ichibi?"

"If Hokage-sama doesn't want to cooperate with the Sand Village, I can leave immediately."

Mosha couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and shouted.

The Sand Village simply cannot afford and give Uchiha Nan what he wants!

"Just go. Your Sand Village only has these few things that Konoha would value. You won't give me anything I want. I guess your Sand Village has no intention of cooperating."

Mosha stood there, not knowing whether to sit or walk, he was surrounded.

He was so angry that he said he was leaving. The aid funds had not yet arrived, so how could he return empty-handed?

"Hokage, the Sand Village is cooperating with Konoha with sincerity. I just spoke out of turn."

"But the conditions you proposed, Hokage, are too harsh. I cannot accept them, and neither can the Sand Village."

Uchiha Nan smiled and didn't bother with Mosa.

Uchiha Nan knew very well that Mosa would never agree to the request he just made. This was just a prelude to the subsequent requests.

The most basic negotiation tactic is to propose one or two conditions that are so bad that the other party will never accept them, and then propose some "very bad" conditions later, which the other party will easily accept.

This is a well-known negotiation technique, but it is really effective.

"Well, I'll give you some conditions that you can accept."

"I don't want the One-Tail. I want the One-Tail's chakra, or the ninja's chakra. The chakra battery invented by Konoha requires a large amount of chakra as energy."

"Of course, Konoha will pay for all of this. We will discuss the specific costs later. Konoha will give you a generous price."

"Konoha can't give you money directly. Everything requires an equal transaction from you."

If you want to bind the economy of a ninja village, you must first start with the ninja's source of survival. The Sand Village is all sand, and there are only a few ninjas left to plot against.

Mosa thought about Uchiha Nan's conditions. If it was just chakra, it seemed like a condition that could be agreed to.

Ninjas also need chakra to complete missions, which not only wastes time but sometimes also puts their lives in danger. If they can make money just by extracting chakra, this is not unacceptable. As long as the price is right, all the ninjas in the village will agree.

"I agree to this condition, as for the price"

Mosha was still calculating the price, selling chakra was a business that could be done for a long time.

For a ninja, as long as the chakra in the body is not drained all at once, it will not cause any damage to the ninja's body.

As long as you eat something and rest for a while afterwards, your body will be able to produce chakra again. If you recover quickly, you may be able to sell chakra four or five times a day.
