Maglev Scooter

Satetsu scolded sternly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you two had better not look around and inquire about it."

Jiraiya and Naruto could only watch quietly while watching them busy.

There was an eagle cry in the sky.

Suna Ninja cheered as he was taking a rest after finishing his work.

Jiraiya and Naruto looked in the direction of the cheers.

A strange car drove over in the distance.

Jiraiya and Naruto didn't know how to describe this car.

It is a large flat iron plate three hundred meters long, with two iron hut at the head and end, with a dozen ninjas standing on each.

The strangest thing is that it has no wheels, floats about one meter above the ground, and can walk on the desert by itself.

"lewd sage, have you seen what this is?" Naruto was dumbfounded.

Jiraiya shook his head.

He hasn't seen it either.

The car stopped next to the sandworm.

In the car, the captain of the third division of Ninja trader, Otokaze, smiled and said: "Satetsu, congratulations to your team for successfully capturing a sandworm. You will get a lot of bonuses soon."

Satetsu and the team members laughed proudly.

Otokaze sees Jiraiya and Naruto dressed in Konoha style.

"Are you from Konoha?"

Jiraiya, Naruto nodded.

"We are here to meet with the Kazekage-sama to discuss the negotiations between the two parties."

Otokaze is obviously easier to talk to than Satetsu, who is like sand iron.

He smiled and said: "Then wait until we tie up the sandworm, and you can follow us in the car to the Sunagakure."

"Okay, thank you." Jiraiya and Naruto expressed their thanks.

When Otokaze saw that they were thirsty, he kindly handed them a bottle to quench their thirst.

Jiraiya Naruto took the opportunity to go up and talk.

"Brother Otokaze, what are you doing? Why are you so strange?"

Of course Naruto was referring to the maglev scooter.

Otokaze didn't hide it either.

"This is called a magnetic levitation scooter. It is a specialized built to tow sandworms, of course it can also be used to transport cargo. "

 Maglev scooter? ?

Jiraiya and Naruto were confused.

Naruto pointed to the strange tube in the Suna Ninja's hand.

"What's that?"

Otokaze: "Oh, the hook electromagnetic gun is a ninja tool that can generate electricity and is suitable for catching sandworms."

The two opened their eyes again.

The sandworm was moved to a maglev scooter.

The weight of the cart sank into the sand.

Otokaze acts as the conductor.

"Inject current, inject current."

One after another on the hut, the ninja put his hands and injected thunder and lightning.

The magnetic levitation scooter begins to float.

Otokaze announced after completing the inspection.

"Let's go, let's go back to the park."

He took Jiraiya with him and Naruto asked them to sit next to him.

The three of them sat on the back of the sandworm.

The remaining journey with maglev scooters are not fast but smooth and stable.

Jiraiya, Naruto's eyes were opened today.

Saw so many new things.

"Brother Otokaze, why do you Sand Ninjas like to use Thunder Release so much?" Naruto saw that they had electric guns and magnetic levitation scooters.

Otokaze laughed and said: "Haha, who stipulates that sand ninja can only use earth escape and sand escape? Of course, you can use whatever is easy to use. This is the ninja way of our village."

In order to change the conservative thinking of Sunagakure.

Mukaze has repeatedly promoted flexibility and reform ideas.

Even the Ninja School textbooks have been revised.

Now the villagers and ninjas of Sand Ninja Village like to talk about these words.

Jiraiya thought more.

Sunagakure is famously a poor village.

Economic difficulties are a historical problem that Sunagakure has had since its founding.

Even during the first Five Kage Talks, the first Kazekage, voluntarily gave up the tailed beast ration on the grounds that his country already had a Shukaku.

The relative condition is that Konoha is required to cede part of its borders.

The fertile land, as well as 30% of the fees paid by other countries to purchase tailed beasts from Konoha.

This shows how difficult the Suna Ninja's economy is.

It didn't get better until the Fourth Kazekage.

Since the alliance between Konoha and Suna Ninja, Konoha has been providing financial assistance to Suna Ninja.

Jiraiya came to Sand Ninja Village this time, and when he met Kazekage Mukaze, he also wanted to use financial aid as a bargaining chip.

Now he see that the Sand Ninja Village dispatched more than two hundred ninjas to capture this useless sandworm in the desert.

He hesitated.

What happened in Sunagakure?

Aren't Sand Ninja ninjas supposed to be running around taking on quests to make money to feed the village?

Why do you still have time to send out so many people to do such boring things?

And according to them.

Catching sandworms seems to be a regular job and comes with a bonus.

Uh-huh.

Otokaze took out his favorite flute from his waist and started playing music.

The melodious flute sound blows into the distance with the unruly desert wind.

Jiraiya and Naruto's thoughts also shifted to the place where the flute sounded.

Sunagakure.

"Lewd Sage, have you been to Sunagakure?" Naruto asked.

"Of course I have."

"So what exactly is Sunagakure like?"

Jiraiya recalls.

"It's just a boring village."

There are no hot springs, no entertainment, no pubs, and no scantily clad beauties.

Just earthy yellow color and flying sand all over the sky.

The night was so cold that there wasn't even a soul in sight.

This kind of village is too boring for Jiraiya.

"The people inside are as boring as the village."

"No, I feel that they are very alive and energetic." Naruto felt different from Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was shocked.

yes.

They seem to be smiling more now than before.

Could it be related to the changes in the village?
