Chapter 588 Tutoring
Looking at the past from the perspective of future generations, it is indeed easy to cause some misunderstandings.
The talent of the second generation Kazekage must not be bad, otherwise he would not have developed the sand manipulation ninjutsu and puppetry techniques. Unfortunately, the limitations of the times still prevented the seniors from achieving the feat of cultivating the sage mode like Daimaru.
Because the development of ninjutsu was not as prosperous as it is now, the use of sage mode and natural energy was indeed a bit too rough.
Daimaru even felt that at that time, auxiliary ninjutsu such as the Shadow Clone Technique might not have spread. The so-called secret techniques of investigation and practice were probably only spread among Konoha ninjas.
The changes in the form and nature of chakra attributes have been systematically summarized and a variety of training routines have been developed. This is only available in recent decades. Before the establishment of the five major ninja villages, ninjas relied on their experience. It is passed down from father to son in the family or taught privately between master and apprentice.
With the platform of Ninja Village and frequent exchanges, ninjutsu theory has ushered in great development.
The puppets in front of Daimaru range from simple to complex, and the technical content is getting higher and higher, which can roughly reflect the development trend of puppetry in Sunagakure Village over the past few decades.
From a collection of primitive weapons with no discernible form, to a multi-purpose puppet that is getting closer and closer to a human shape, it has developed into a professional puppet with different functions.
There are even prototypes that imitate wing armor, construction machinery civilian puppets, and underwater deep-diving puppets. You can tell at a glance that they are laboratory products that were recently born.
Of course, these immature puppets are just to enrich the "psychic puppet" inventory, and most of them no one is willing to use.
In more than ten minutes, Daimaru saw that his psychic reaction was activated seven or eight times. The frequency was really high. Considering that the new students of the ninja school have recently entered the school, the graduates have been practicing their skills hard to prepare for the critical moment of genin selection. Using the "shared puppet" "It's not surprising that there are so many people.
Even the puppet workshop under Daimaru's command has seen significantly better business recently.
In this critical period of the Puppet Master's development, this level of activity is normal.
but……
"With all due respect, you don't seem to be making much money by spreading this 'psychic puppet'!"
After carefully weighing it, Daimaru asked Shanai strangely.
The puppet base of nearly five hundred seems very large, but the total population of Sunagakure Village is only a little over one hundred thousand. Extrapolating from the 20% of the total number of ninjas, it can be seen that the puppet masters in the entire village, even including apprentices, are at most three to four hundred.
Considering that many puppet masters with ample resources have more than one puppet, the Sand Ninja can digest about two thousand puppets at most.
Most of the group of this size are genin and apprentice puppet masters who are not very wealthy. It is good if they can barely cover the operating expenses.
In the long run, "Psychic Puppet" can still recover its costs and make money, but the rate of return is too low.
Even if the basic version of the puppet Spider sold by Daimaru's puppet workshop is not huge profit, the after-sales service and toys and other peripheral industries supported by it can still make a lot of money.
But the industry in front of us, which has taken a lot of effort, is more like a public welfare activity.
"Being able to tell the truth at a glance makes him worthy of being a young talent who can carve out a niche in a village where income is almost fixed..."
"There's no need for weird compliments, we're not outsiders..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your friend?"
Shanai rolled his eyes at Daimaru angrily.
"Miss Saya is a shareholder of the Puppet Workshop, and you are also an executive who has made great achievements. Am I right?"
Daimaru replied confidently,
"If someone else had arranged a bunch of messy scandals to slander me, it wouldn't be that easy. And...in order to cover up, I didn't tell Miss Saya that even your sister was implicated. If she knew that her trusted relative My sister has done so many things behind her back, I don’t know what will happen..."
"Okay, okay, I get it. It's so stingy to insist on getting hung up on a trivial matter..."
Shanai gave in reluctantly.
"Our family has accumulated accumulation over several generations, and it has almost reached the upper limit of what the entire village can accommodate. At this level, external possessions such as money are no longer important. Wealth naturally expands faster than what is consumed through squandering..."
"This...I understand!"
Daimaru nodded in understanding.
Even though the entire Sand Hidden Village is not a complete capital society, the top forces still have a winner-take-all momentum.
As a nouveau riche, Daimaru, even if he does nothing, his subordinates can legitimately take many benefits in the village under the banner of "red dust" and "offer" a share to Daimaru to maintain the faction. The valve operates and continues to grow, and then feeds back to its subordinates to continue expanding, forming a virtuous cycle.
Making money while lying down is really not a dream for winners who have accumulated wealth to a certain extent.
Sisters Saya and Shanai, who come from wealthy families, have a deep understanding of it. When Miss Saya lent money to Daimaru and invested in the puppet workshop, her words of "not interested in money" were really true.
Anyway, you will spend more than a few lifetimes, and it really doesn’t matter whether you make money or not.
"It might be a bit hateful to say it out loud, but for my sister and me, learning how to spend money is far more important than how to make money..."
Shanai said helplessly,
"When I was a child, my father taught us that if we don't have a high talent, it is better to be a playboy who waits for death than to be a rich girl with great ambitions and shortcomings who wants to prove her non-existent talents, which is more important to the family. More useful…”
You only have a few dollars to eat, drink and have fun, but you can’t afford it, so why not live a comfortable life?
If you really want to forcefully use the family's power and wealth to squander some great dream, several lifetimes of accumulation will not be enough.
The loss of money and property is secondary. The key is the cost of using connections and the backlash of using favors, which is even more painful.
"Is your family's education so anti-human?"
Daimaru spat angrily,
"No wonder Miss Saya would rather 'run away from home' and go to her single ninja apartment to 'exercise hard' than become a tool for marriage..."
"It doesn't matter about marriage or anything like that. If my sister really doesn't agree, my father and mother won't force it. Our family has long passed the level where we need to sell our own daughter's happiness to maintain power..."
"Then why..."
Daimaru was a little confused.
"Sister-sama is too strong-willed and doesn't forgive others. In fact, she is a very kind person, but she is always misunderstood by others..."
"By saying this, are you blaming me for being one of the people who misunderstood her?"
Daimaru and Miss Saya have been neighbors for a long time. Apart from the occasional quarrels, they have indeed not been targeted. They have come to borrow money several times and have always agreed.
