Chapter 620: Sand Ninja: Giving Too Much!

Rumble!
The three island-sized flat metal warships were full of oppression, and the flames from their nozzles gradually decreased, allowing them to slide on the sand.

Compared with these three warships, humans are like a grain of rice in front of a watermelon. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t even find them.

"This is…"

"very scary!"

"How can it be!"

...

All the Sand Ninjas were extremely shocked.

If it was a steel battleship on the sea, it would be fine. The ninja world has already gotten used to it.

But this huge warship with a strange shape but mechanical beauty can not only fly on the ground, but also at such a high speed, which is truly shocking.

Fortunately, things like steel battleships, airships, aircraft... appeared first, which prepared people psychologically, otherwise their reactions would only be more exaggerated.

Yes, these three giant steel vessels are the castle tower's "ground effect vehicles".

In the past, these ground effect vehicles were top-secret weapons of the castle tower and were not allowed to be exposed at all.

But after the battle at Myoboku Mountain, many of the toads that escaped saw the ground effect vehicle, and Jiraiya must have known about it, so the information had been leaked.

In this case, there is naturally no need to keep it secret any longer, it would be better to use it openly.

A steel battleship weighing tens of thousands of tons, able to ignore most terrain influences, coupled with its astonishing speed, its role is definitely at the "strategic" level.

Although using airships is very convenient, it is far inferior to ground effect vehicles in terms of efficiency and safety.

Bang, bang, bang!

The side decks of the three stopped ground-effect vehicles dropped down to form a ramp passage, revealing the mountains of cargo piled up above.

"this…"

"many!"

"That's a bit too exaggerated!"

...

Looking at the food, salted fish, clothes, clean water, etc., the Sand Ninja leaders were dumbfounded.

It’s not like there haven’t been any caravans to the Sand Village before.

But the scale of those caravans, with a transport capacity of 100 tons, are already considered "large caravans".

But now?

Each ground effect vehicle, under the premise of full load, has a transport capacity of 10,000 tons.

Well, the reason why the transport volume is so exaggerated is because of the "anti-gravity barrier". If it weren't for this thing, the amount that can be transported would be less than a fraction of that at most.

Not to mention that it can fly at such a fast speed, and can also take off directly from land.

Anti-gravity barrier!
Chakra core!
Black stick!

The combination of several technologies is the reason why the ground effect vehicle is so powerful.

Even in the technologically advanced world before the time travel, ground effect vehicles were far inferior to those in the ninja world.

I can only say that there is indeed potential in combining ninjutsu and science.

"These supplies are just the first batch of supplies I 'purchased'. With them, we will definitely be able to stop the Konoha Ninja Army!"

Ye Cang declared loudly.

The nearly 100,000 tons of supplies in front of us are just the first batch of supplies supported by the castle tower.

And these supplies have stunned the top Sand Ninja leaders.

Even Chiyo and Ebizo couldn't remain calm at this moment.

Although we know that Ye Cang will be the Kazekage, the castle tower behind him will definitely show some reaction.

But this is a bit too much!
Giving away so many supplies so easily shows how generous they are.

Even if most of it is water, it is still priceless.

water!
It is the 'source of life' in the desert.
The upper limit of the population that an oasis or settlement can support depends entirely on water.

The water supply in the Sand Village is extremely tight, after all, the population is over 100,000.

Now with the arrival of tens of thousands of tons of clean water, it means that everyone can get a large amount of clean water.

Huge wealth!
Rainwater can be collected for washing, watering, etc., but it must not be drunk.

With these tens of thousands of tons of drinking water, the villagers of Sand Village can rest a lot easier.

At the same time, water does not cost money. It only takes a little effort to collect it. It is specifically used to win the hearts of the people.

The Sand Village is different from the Mist Village.

Since they were not the ones to break through here, they could not forcefully arrange for the priestesses to come, but instead they had to let Ye Cang secure his position first.

If one wants to secure the position of Fengying, winning people's hearts is naturally the best way.

It was difficult for others, but for Ye Cang, it was not difficult at all, because she had the castle tower behind her to support her.

It is not too easy to bribe the Sand Village, which has a population of over 100,000. Even with a few affiliated oases, the population is only a few hundred thousand. Given the productivity of the castle tower, it would be enough to just use supplies to kill the enemy.

But they want subordinates, not ancestors!

If we really want to bribe them with unlimited supplies, the subsequent troubles will only be greater.

There shouldn’t be too many stories about being grateful for a little bit of rice and resenting a big bit of rice.

So these supplies have to be paid for.

And the Sand Village can really pay it off.

Rub puppets to pay off debts!
They had made a large number of puppet parts for the castle tower before, but most of the orders were later cancelled.

It’s not that the castle tower doesn’t need it.

It's just that under the oppression of the nobles and major forces, the Sand Ninjas have put all their energy into fighting for bird droppings and black oil, so there are not so many people to do the work.

Unfortunately, I thought these two businesses were very profitable, but in the end I found out that they were not as profitable as the puppet parts mission.

It’s not that the business doesn’t make money, but the profits are divided up by the nobles and major forces, and never fall into the hands of the Sand Ninjas.

When it comes to accounting and corruption, you can always trust the nobles and bureaucrats.

All I can say is, let the Sand Ninjas go ahead and die, and let the nobles with the money come over!
Now that Ye Cang is in power, he will naturally adjust the development direction of the Sand Village.

You want bird droppings and black oil?

You nobles can go and rob it yourselves. The Sand Village won’t accompany you anyway.

Don't be afraid even if the other party threatens to cut off the withdrawal amount.

Because by cooperating with the castle tower without the nobles, the profits earned will be countless times higher.

There is no middleman to make a profit from the price difference!
Not to mention other aspects, just collecting materials in the desert and making puppet parts is more than enough to feed the Sand Ninjas.

Therefore, the materials transported by several ground effect vehicles will not only not result in loss, but will instead make a huge profit.

Tens of thousands of tons of water!

Even if the price per ton is only one thousand taels, the transportation is worth more than tens of millions of taels.

As for whether the Sand Ninjas will think it’s too expensive.

Sorry, for the Sand Village where water resources are extremely scarce, this price is equivalent to giving it away for free.

In the future, when ground effect vehicles come to the Sand Village, the maintenance costs can be earned back just by selling water.

Because the passage was too narrow and the ground effect vehicle was too wide, the goods could only be unloaded at the entrance of the village and then slowly moved back to the village. Therefore, countless villagers knew that the newly-appointed Fifth Kazekage had brought countless supplies to the village, and each person could be allocated a purchase quota of 100 kilograms of clean water.

Crazy!

As soon as this news came out, even the worry of returning in defeat was swept away.

And what was transported was more than just daily supplies.

There are also secret medicines, ninja tools, detonating tags, vests, and other war supplies.

These supplies were not enough. There were also ninjas wearing Sand Ninja forehead protectors who came down along with the supplies.

The leader was none other than 'Ziluo', a quasi-shadow-level leader under Ye Cang's command.

Yes, these castle tower ninjas were born in the Land of Wind, but were trained by Ye Cang in the Land of River.

Now it’s just a replacement for the forehead protector.

Over a thousand!

These are all the Sand Ninjas that Ye Cang has cultivated over the years.

If she had not succeeded in becoming the Kazekage, she would not have been willing to show off all this power.

The reason why the ninjas of the castle tower are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the Sand Ninja is naturally because they want the Sand Village to become the secret power and weapon of the castle tower like the Mist Village.

It would be very interesting if the five major ninja villages really joined forces to besiege the castle tower, and two major ninja villages directly stabbed them in the back or held them back.

Moreover, Ye Cang was not afraid that anyone would know about his close relationship with the castle tower.

No matter who thinks it, she was born in the Sand Village and is now the Kazekage. It is impossible for her to be willing to submit to the castle tower, right?

No matter how good the relationship appears to be, outsiders will only think that it is just a disguise for the sake of resources.

Therefore, as long as the Sand Village does not change its name and no one from the castle tower is parachuted in to become the high-ranking officials of the Sand Village, no one will doubt that the two sides have become one.

Wonderful!

In this way, when the decisive battle comes, the ninja villages will be more unprepared.

After winning over the hearts of the people with supplies, Ye Cang must next find a way to stop the Konoha Ninja Army, so that he can truly secure his position as Kazekage.

She has full confidence in this.

In fact, this is how it developed.
