Jun was already used to topics going off track again. When this person had too many things on his mind, he tended to overthink and couldn't concentrate at all.
In any case, the Land of Whirlpools agreed with the alliance with the Land of Wind, but the terms had to be changed according to the Land of Whirlpools' proposal. Furthermore, the 30 billion Whirlpool Gold would not be handed over to the Land of Wind. It would be used to quell the internal unrest in the Land of Wind and address issues like soil erosion.
So...
After the Fourth Kazekage and the others from the Land of Wind finished their discussions, they agreed. Although the Land of Whirlpools said the terms were somewhat different from their original proposal, the issues that needed resolving were all recorded in the contract by the Land of Whirlpools.
Then, the Land of Wind envoys and the Land of Whirlpools completed the handover of the Tailed Beast that very afternoon and prepared to leave. As for whether the Land of Whirlpools would renege on the deal?
They were not worried. They believed the Land of Whirlpools' Daimyo would not renege just for the One-Tail. If that were really the case, wouldn't directly seizing it by force be faster?
Also departing with the Land of Wind envoys were some construction engineers from the Land of Whirlpools...
The current turmoil in the Land of Wind was simply due to being too poor!!!
The people had no money to buy food, and there weren't enough jobs to satisfy these energetic individuals. That's why they were exploited by those with ulterior motives.
Once sufficient jobs and food were provided, the internal unrest would quickly subside.
The engineers going with them were there to solve this problem.
If people had nothing to do, having them build roads was the answer. Workers would be recruited directly in the Land of Wind, and their wages would be deducted directly from that 30 billion Whirlpool Gold. Of course, the food would also be deducted from this sum. After all, the Land of Whirlpools was not a charity.
As for the engineers' salaries...
They would be a bit higher than those within the Land of Whirlpools. If they were on a business trip, how could they not get a raise?
As for the food, Jun decided not to cheat them. After all, this needed to set an example. What would happen if others found out the Land of Whirlpools cheated its allies?
So...
Just add a little bit for shipping costs!
Regarding soil erosion and desertification, Jun did not plan to go over and solve everything directly with a Tree World Birth. If he did that, the Land of Wind would definitely be unhappy about paying too much. After all, you just used one jutsu, why should the labor cost so much? Isn't that cheating people?
Moreover...
Him, the esteemed Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, going to plant trees for another country?
Did the Land of Whirlpools have no face to lose?
Therefore, only the fruits of hard labor could bring satisfaction to others.
Jun planned to have the people of the Land of Wind plant the trees themselves, one by one. That way, they would understand the difficulty of planting trees and wouldn't casually engage in deforestation anymore. As for the tree seeds...
They would still be transported from the Land of Whirlpools.
As for the water shortage...
He decided to bring a big business deal to the Land of Rain. After all, always selling steel wasn't feasible. This way, firstly, it could solve the problem of too much rain in the Land of Rain, and secondly, it could solve the water shortage in the Land of Wind. It was simply a win-win situation!
Later, the Land of Rain would have a stable income, and the Land of Wind would have sufficient water resources. Who would disagree?
If they disagreed, just have the Land of Rain cut off the water supply!!!
So...
Calculating it this way, the Land of Whirlpools only needed to send some engineers, transport some food and tree seeds, and then just sit back and wait to collect the money.
How convenient!
Huh?
It seems the money is already here in the Land of Whirlpools!
Jun sighed inwardly. Now, the Land of Whirlpools had obtained the chakra of the One-Tail, Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Six-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails. Only the Seven-Tails Chomei's chakra from Takigakure was still missing.
After all, Fu had not yet become the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Seven-Tails was still sealed. Even if Takigakure wanted to sell the Seven-Tails' chakra, they wouldn't know how to do it!
So...
Jun estimated he would have to make a trip personally soon, but it had to be done secretly. Otherwise, Takigakure might think he was collecting Tailed Beasts for some ulterior motive!
Never underestimate a ninja's ability to connect dots. If rumors started flying, who knows what might happen.
Obtaining the Eight-Tails' chakra was somewhat accidental. It was only because Killer B wanted to test what the Land of Whirlpools' Chakra Center was really about that they obtained it by chance.
He sighed inwardly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth...
"That should be about enough!"
When Black Zetsu learned the truth later, he would surely be moved, right? After all, he had taken such good care of him all these years.
As for running errands...
Was it too much for a father to have his own child run errands?
He was his own biological father!
...
"Achoo! Achoo!" Black Zetsu rubbed his nose, frowning, and said, "Why do I suddenly feel like crying?"
It feels like...
Something big is about to happen.
"Is that Uzumaki Jun plotting something again?"
"Should we really cooperate with him?" White Zetsu asked with a worried expression. "For some reason, every time I see him, I feel a little scared inside!"
He hesitated...
"And will he really release Lady Kaguya?"
"I don't know." Black Zetsu shook his head, saying helplessly, "We have no other options now."
If that guy didn't die, they would never have a chance. So, what else could they do besides lying low?
"But why would he want to release Lady Kaguya?" White Zetsu asked, puzzled. "Isn't he afraid of Lady Kaguya?"
"Shut up!" Black Zetsu glared, looking displeased at White Zetsu, and said with reverence, "Mother is the strongest. When Mother comes out, I will definitely tell Mother everything and have Mother teach that hateful Land of Whirlpools Daimyo a lesson."
As long as those two unfilial sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, weren't around, who in the ninja world could defeat Mother?
"Hmph, just wait and see what happens to that Land of Whirlpools Daimyo then!"
"Alright, I know Lady Kaguya is very powerful," White Zetsu spread his hands and said helplessly, "But I always feel that Land of Whirlpools Daimyo is very unusual."
He also knew that Black Zetsu, just like him, felt a bit panicked inside when seeing the Land of Whirlpools Daimyo. Right now, he was just being stubborn!
"What if he actually manages to defeat Mother when the time comes? What do we do then?"
"Hmph!" Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes, looking meaningfully at White Zetsu, and said, "Then we'll just find another place to hide. I don't believe he can live longer than us!"
As long as they outlived the Land of Whirlpools Daimyo...
Couldn't he do whatever he wanted in the ninja world?!
You must know...
He was the third son of the Mother of Chakra, had lived for over a thousand years, was the prime... prime mastermind behind the entire history of the ninja world!
No matter how many errands he ran, it couldn't the brilliance he possessed!!!
And...
His eyes filled with determination...
"I believe Mother will definitely avenge me and defeat that Land of Whirlpools Daimyo!"
He was Mother's dearest, most filial son, after all!
