Chapter 600 Ready to Go, Shadows Lead the Way
Chapter 600 Ready to Go, Shadows Lead the Way
There are no empty slogans, only solid technology and solutions.
"On the Use of Water Release Clone Techniques for Deep-Sea Cage Aquaculture", "The Revolutionary Application of the Hozuki Clan's Water Transformation Secret Technique in the Field of Seafood Preservation", and "Thirty-two Cooking Methods and Mass Production Recipes for the Ironclad Crab, a Specialty of the Land of Water - The Secret Version of the Akimichi Clan".
There is even a detailed chart analyzing the economic value of nearly a hundred kinds of seafood in the waters surrounding the Land of Water, from the top-grade deep-sea blood dragonfish to the bottom-grade mud octopus, which is regarded as garbage by fishermen, and giving clear commercialization paths.
"Oh My God……"
Hozuki Shio murmured unconsciously, "This...this octopus monster, it's so ugly, yet...it can actually be made into takoyaki? And it's the secret recipe from the shop that the Uchiha clan loves most?!"
She saw a whole new world.
Food is no longer just for sustenance, but can be meticulously designed, packaged, and mass-produced, ultimately transforming into a magnificent world of ships laden with glittering gold coins!
At that moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at the report was even more intense than when she looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.
This isn't some kind of development plan; it's practically a bible for a culinary paradise!
The girl had already envisioned herself standing atop the tallest building, holding a grilled squid in one hand and a Krabby Patty in the other, announcing to the entire Hidden Mist Village, "Today, the whole village has achieved seafood freedom!"
If Hozuki Shio saw food, then Hozuki Kaigetsu saw something much deeper—life itself.
He envisioned using seawater desalination technology to transform barren saline-alkali land into fertile fields.
He saw a solution to completely solve the problem of freshwater shortage on inland islands by building dikes and dredging waterways.
This reminded him of the book "Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering" he had seen in the Konoha Library. It turned out that those dry formulas and blueprints could truly become a source of hope for saving countless lives.
Part Two: Infrastructure and Industry – Rebuilding the Nation's Backbone with Steel and Concrete
This part made Hozuki Kaigetsu feel like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
If the agricultural plan he had just read only impressed him, then this chapter completely ignited his passion.
"The Successful Experience of the Nanga River Reservoir: Localization Plans for the Land of Water," "Detailed Explanation of the Chakra Third Generation Reinforced Concrete Salt Corrosion Resistant Formula,"...
Every technology seemed tailor-made for the land of water. Every idea was so grand that it made him tremble.
He saw the complete steps of port construction, from exploration and dredging to dike construction and paving, with all processes broken down into specific, executable task modules.
He saw the railway plan that ran through the largest island of the Water Kingdom. The winding red line, like a major artery, would tightly connect the isolated towns and villages.
They even saw the design plans for a small energy station that uses the power of the tides to drive generators, providing the entire city with an inexhaustible energy source.
crazy.
This Hiruzen Sarutobi is absolutely insane.
How could he dare to think that? How could he take all these things so...so for granted?
This is no longer within the realm of war. It is a higher-dimensional crushing force called civilization.
Part Three: Culture and Tourism – "Turning Scars into Unique Medals"
If the first two chapters brought them shock and fervor, then this final chapter plunged them into a long silence, a silence mixed with pain, absurdity, and a sense of relief.
The scroll depicts a scene of joy and harmony.
A group of tourists from different countries, wearing T-shirts with cartoon-style portraits of themselves and their siblings, were happily bungee jumping on the bridge.
Not far away is a building called the Blood Mist Survival Game Experience Center. A sign at the entrance reads: "100% Safe, 100% Thrilling! Come experience the heart-pounding feeling of being a first-generation Blood Mist graduate! Today's special price: a free kunai model!"
Their once-proud Seven Ninja Swordsmen have been adapted into a large-scale stage play. The actors, dressed in gorgeous costumes and wielding glittering prop swords, performed an artistically crafted heroic story full of love, hate, and passion under stunning lights.
He looked up and met his sister's gaze. Tears streamed down Hozuki Shiori's face.
They saw what was truly terrifying about this plan.
It precisely pierced through all the sore spots of Kirigakure, and then, on those wounds, painted a future that you simply couldn't refuse—a future of abundance, peace, and even a little too blissful.
The brother and sister's breathing became rapid.
They could almost see a brand new Hidden Mist Village slowly rising on this scroll.
"Power is not for you to rule over anyone, nor for others to fear."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's calm voice rang out at that moment.
He looked at the two young people before him, who were swaying from the overwhelming amount of information, and continued:
"Power is what makes every word and every picture on this scroll a reality."
These words, like a bolt of lightning traversing the sky, completely shattered the last vestiges of confusion and gloom in the hearts of the brother and sister, a veil of blood mist.
Domination? Fear?
They understood.
Raising their heads, those two pairs of gray-blue eyes no longer held fear or confusion, only a flame that had been completely ignited and was burning fiercely.
