Chapter 799: Buried Mines
Chapter 799: Buried Mines
Wildflower Lin, Dusk Red, Red Bean, Scarlet Lotus, Hyuga Chihaya, Hyuga Hanabi, Tian Tian, Violet Garden, Hand Puppet, and Fragrant Lantern! These beautiful ladies strolled down the streets, attracting the attention of passersby.
Tang Ping's scalp tingled at the sight of these girls.
Over the past half a year, he had successfully 'conquered' a few of them, and the rest had also developed a good impression of him. With the two women by his side, they wouldn't even fit at two mahjong tables.
It was a topic he couldn't elaborate on; otherwise, there would be at least a few million words just on this aspect.
(Cough, cough: I used to write some Liu Bei fanfiction, but the website really limited my creativity!)
Previously, Tang Ping would try to keep the girls separate, but he hadn't expected them to gather together today.
A battlefield of devils! He was genuinely afraid that a single disagreement would lead to these girls pulling out their kunai and engaging in a direct fight.
In his previous life, having multiple relationships might have led to social death, but in the Ninja World, it could result in actual death.
Unfortunately, Tang Ping hadn't considered certain factors.
The Ninja World's system was different from his previous life.
Ninja devoted most of their energy to missions and self-improvement, leaving less time for other aspects. They valued the 'spiritual' connection more, so as long as he could satisfy them in that regard, a harem was not impossible.
If not for this, would Uchiha Yui and Hyuga Tsukimi have been able to resist his advances?
However, this didn't stop them from taking the opportunity to make things difficult for Tang Ping.
In the group that followed, there was one more person acting as an ATM and a bag carrier.
Meanwhile, Hanabi, Mino, Red Bean, Violet Garden, and Scarlet Lotus watched from the sidelines, taking the chance to 'feast' on him.
The Skyguard Tower had many good items, but they were also expensive.
Right!
The shops they visited the most were not clothing or jewelry stores but rather those selling ninja tools and medicinal potions.
After all, they were all ninjas!
Taking this opportunity, Tang Ping chatted with Hand Puppet.
"How's the Land of the Wind doing lately?"
She was the girl he had flirted with in the Land of the Wind during his time management journey, and he had assumed she would be safe there. He hadn't expected her to come to the Skyguard Tower.
Although he could access intelligence reports about the Land of the elevator ride, cold information couldn't compare to the pleasant sound of a beautiful young lady's voice.
Glancing cautiously at the others selecting ninja tool bags, Hand Puppet's face reddened as she whispered:
"Since the opening of the Dawn Canal..."
As she reported, the changes in the Land of the Wind unfolded in Tang Ping's mind.
Dawn Canal!
It was undoubtedly a strategic project that brought significant changes to the Land of the Wind.
With this canal, the entire Land of the Wind was in a frenzy, directly focusing their efforts on its development.
They began cultivating the surrounding desert land, using special grass seeds and trees to transform the desert into grasslands and anti-sand forests.
With a water source, they didn't have to worry about the plants dying.
The presence of vegetation brought hope.
Countless branching canals were being dug frantically to irrigate more land through the main canal.
Aside from that, the Land of the Wind had an abundance of labor.
In the past, these people would either starve or be driven out of the oasis, left to fend for themselves.
This was the fundamental reason for the constant emergence of sand thieves and wars in the Land of the Wind.
It was impossible to sustain so many people! But now?
After eliminating the daimyo and noble class, the oppressive burden on the people was significantly reduced.
With the addition of the maiden management layer and the support of Relyang Kingdom's productive resources, the number of sand thieves and wars in the Land of the Wind decreased dramatically.
The decrease was 'significant,' not just minor.
Among the sand thieves, while some enjoyed killing and looting, most were ordinary people facing starvation.
With the opportunity to work and eat their fill, they would no longer be sand thieves.
As for those stubborn individuals, they became 'experience points' for the new generation of Sand Ninjas, allowing them to gain combat experience.
Aside from providing a water source, the Dawn Canal had another crucial function.
Transportation!
The challenges of transportation in the desert had been mentioned before, and the situation improved only after the introduction of airships.
However, despite the usefulness of airships, their limited numbers were still insufficient.
But with the canal, countless resources could be transported via the river, directly entering the Land of the Wind.
The various specialties of the Land of Wind could also be transported and exchanged for supplies.
It could be said that the Dawn Canal was an absolute 'lifeline' for the Land of Wind.
Relying on this canal, Yekura now had an astonishing reputation within the country.
Moreover, with the assistance of the maidens, he had turned the entire Land of Wind into a united front.
As for why such a large country could be controlled in such a short time?
Of course, it was a combination of carrots and sticks.
The Dawn Canal was the carrot, and the Sand Ninja were the stick, a stick that had killed countless people.
Anyone who dared to defy would be dealt with accordingly.
The Ninja World was not like the world before Tang Ping's transmigration, where dealing with opponents was incredibly troublesome.
Here, violence couldn't solve everything, but it could solve the vast majority of problems.
Take Hand Puppet, for example, who had come to the Skyguard Tower this time by boat to the southern sea and then from the sea.
Although the efficiency was far inferior to crossing the desert, the comfort and scale of transportation were entirely different matters.
After listening to the report, Tang Ping realized one thing.
Hand Puppet was actually a 'White Rich Beauty'?
The kind with a wealthy family! Don't be fooled by the previous hardships of the three siblings; it was because the resources of the Hidden Sand Village couldn't be developed.
But with the canal, those resources could be tapped.
And it wasn't just her; many other Sand Ninja had also started to become 'rich.'
In this regard, the canal was the lifeline of all Sand Ninja, and anyone who dared to cause trouble would face the united front of the entire Sand Ninja force.
A very clever strategy! Yekura had tied all the Sand Ninja to the canal, so there was no need to worry about anyone sabotaging it.
Anyone who dared to cause trouble would first have to face the wrath of tens of thousands of Sand Ninja.
The Land of Water didn't need such tactics because it had been established for so long that it didn't need to take shortcuts like the Land of Wind.
That side had already become the shape of the New Mist Hidden Village.
Of course, Hand Puppet's visit this time wasn't just for fun; she had another goal.
Surgery!
Yes, on the surface, she was taking on a mission to protect a fleet transporting minerals to the Skyguard Tower.
But the actual task was to protect Gaara's arrival for surgery.
The reason, of course, was that Tang Ping wanted the fate to align as closely as possible with the original plot, so he could take advantage of the Six Paths Sage.
Doesn't that sound incredible?
Before, he didn't care about the plot, but now he's pushing it back?
This change was actually quite understandable.
Because this way, he could plot against the Six Paths Sage.
If it were before, he wouldn't have had the qualifications to compete with them, so he naturally didn't want to get involved.
The Starbreaker Spear, Hyuga Tsukimi, and the completed Heaven Plan were all Tang Ping's schemes to plot against the Six Paths Sage. That's why he changed his mind.
He didn't need to do much; he just needed to let the plot proceed according to the original plan and then give it a slight push at the critical juncture, causing all the Six Paths Sage's schemes to fall through.
And to make the plot proceed according to the original plan also meant that the Akatsuki couldn't be eliminated yet; they needed to complete their tasks.
The Ten-Tails!
It was absolutely the most important tool in the Ninja World.
To plot against the Six Paths Sage, this tool must appear.
To ensure its appearance, Gaara naturally had to prepare to lose the One-Tail.
If it weren't for Hand Puppet's dedication to Yekura, Tang Ping wouldn't have intervened.
But now, whether it was seeing her diligence in serving Yekura or Hand Puppet's obedience, Tang Ping had no choice but to take action.
After all, he was her 'brother-in-law,' and he didn't want to see her die.
Note that this surgery was a backup plan to ensure the plot didn't deviate.
In the original plot, the body was successfully preserved and then resurrected by Chiyo using Rebirth from the Living.
But this time, it was impossible.
Because Chiyo wasn't like she was in the original plot, without the desire to live.
Now, she was happily watching her pregnant daughter-in-law every day, so how could she be willing to give up her life?
Moreover, Gaara wasn't the Fifth Kazekage, and his importance didn't reach that level.
That's why Tang Ping had to prepare in advance, and it was also a trap.
Plotting the Ten-Tails!
Therefore, Gaara's arrival this time was very necessary.
