Shinano Town has changed dramatically, and Uehara's smile has not stopped since he saw the pier that has been expanded several times and blocked half of the river.

Judging from the ships anchored in the port, nearly 100 merchant ships, large and small, are anchoring, some are loading and unloading goods, and the noisy voices of people can be heard from a long distance.

If Uehara's plan could be carried out thoroughly, Shinano Town would be a town with a permanent population of at least 30,000, and the first to collect the homeless and homeless people and various engineering workers were the first residents, and then the more than 10,000 civilians of Tsuchino Country who were supposed to be dismissed after the construction of water conservancy in Tsuchinokuni, Uehara asked Ueizioka Nobu to bring all of them to Shinano Town in the name of Tanokuni to resettle them. The resident population is about that, and due to the mobility of business, the floating population and the resident population combined are about 50,000.

Such a large town is rare in the Land of Rain.

Shinano must have changed a lot, and Uehara couldn't wait to go in and have a look, but he restrained himself and remembered to thank the caravan that had taken him all the way.

"It's convenient to transport goods from the river," Uehara looked at the long and unfinished caravan suspiciously, "Is it from another country?" It must take a long time to transport such a long distance. ”

"No, we're from the Land of Rain." The leader of the caravan did not seem to want to talk too much, so he hurriedly answered Uehara's words and led the group away, relying on the shipwrights of Shinano Town to ferry the goods there.

"It's strange, where does the Land of Rain get so much food." When Uehara first purchased grain, he spent 10 million yuan to purchase it at ten times the normal price.

Marx said that more than twice the profits would make the businessman sin. Food can make ten times more profit in the Land of Rain, which is more profitable than ordinary ninjas doing tasks, so after Uehara just spread the news, caravans appeared, and even wandering ninjas came with scrolls full of food.

Slowly, the demand for food decreased, and the price slowly fell, and by the time it was about three times the average price in the Land of Rain, the price had stabilized.

The nascent town of Shinano exudes boundless vitality, and due to a series of more complex man-made reasons, Shinano has a momentum of development that is better than ever.

Man-made reasons include the shelter of Sanshoyu Hanzo, neat modern streets, well-developed transportation, and generous welfare, etc., and a large area of open space near the river bank was developed to expand the Shinano River, and the building complex that can accommodate more than 100,000 people was not in vain Uehara's painstaking design drawings.

"I remember!" With a knife, he suddenly tugged at Uehara's sleeve, "That guy is very similar to me!" ”

…… Which guy? How is it like? Uehara was a little stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was the caravan leader who came to bring the knife.

"Really, I don't lie to you. The hilt of his sword also has a golden pattern. ”

Uehara probably understood the meaning of the sword, and he was a samurai who guarded the daimyo, albeit as an alternate. But the aristocracy of any world will use such a thing as gold to show off their luxury.

"You mean you have gold on the hilt of your sword, right?" Uehara touched his chin and looked at the knife from head to toe, "Lend me your knife." ”

Gold is considered a precious metal in the ninja world, but it is probably not worth much. Because later, the sand gold secret technique of the fourth generation of the sand ninja of the wind shadow gave Uehara too strong a visual impact, and he could use the overwhelming gold to attack, if the gold was valuable, then the sand ninja was probably the richest ninja village.

But the reality is that Sha Ren is the poorest of the five villages.

While talking with Obito, the two of them arrived at the gate of Shinano Town again.

Both of them were attracted by the stone statue at the door at the same time.

The stone statue that was flush with the door frame stood like two guards, and the white rock was carved in a regular manner, as if it had been sandpapered, and the edges and corners were very soft.

The cloak, gas mask, forehead scar on the face, and the sickle in the hand of the stone statue, the stone statue on the right is very recognizable, this is the image of Sanshoyu Hanzo.

"Who's this one on the left, this one on the left?" Knife asked curiously.

"Since you've asked so much with a knife, it seems that there are a lot of people who will ask like this." Uehara rubbed his chin and looked at the stone statue with difficulty.

Rock ninja forehead guard, standard ninja uniform, young and handsome rock ninja, angular face with a few cat's whiskers-like beard, this stone statue is not holding a weapon in his hand, but holding his arm.

"As for the purpose of my erection of these two stone statues, number one," Uehara explained, holding out his finger and carrying a knife.

"The first is mainly aesthetics. I wanted to plant a tree in front of the door, but it would take too long for the tree to grow, so I didn't want to wait. ”

"Second, the stone statue of Sanshoyu Hanzo standing here is an invisible protection of the town."

"Thirdly, I have Hanzo's consent to the plan to erect the stone statue. This town has nothing to do with Hanzo, it's my town. But to erect the statue here is a sign of respect for Sanshoyu Hanzo. ”

Knife pouted, "But why did you put this guy with Hanzo?" ”

"Since you ask that, others will ask the same question," Uehara smiled cheaply, "It will give others an unwitting effect, they can't help but be curious to ask who the owner of the statue is, and then subconsciously think that this is a ninja of the same level as Sanshoyu Hanzo." ”

"Am I a ninja of the same level as Sanshoyu Hanzo?" Uehara laughed, "Of course I'm not." This is the knowledge of psychology, and as my impression deepens, I will gradually become a ninja on a par with Hanzo. ”

As if to confirm what Uehara said, two guys who might have come to Shinano Town for the first time walked by, and their conversation was clearly audible.

"Who is that statue next to Sanshoyu Hanzo? I don't seem to recognize it. ”

"The miracle ninja of the Iwa Shinobi, Uehara Tsuchishi, the founder of this town. Anyway, I don't know who this guy is, but it's probably a very powerful guy, otherwise why would the statue be put with Hanzo? ”

With an unfathomable look at the knife, the guy's mouth was wide open, and he looked surprised.

"So, Uncle Ben is a very powerful guy. When you get to my town, you can't mess around, you know? ”

After staying here for a long time, Uehara and the two finally stepped through the gate, and inexplicably felt that there was something strange behind the stone statue, and Uehara took a closer look and found some very small handwriting.

"Uehara, are you really dead or have you turned to stone? - Hunting, stay in the rain. ”

"You have to go back quickly when you see it, the three generations of old men said that if you don't come back, you will be listed as a traitor."

The latest date is also two months ago.

The last handwriting was Hinata's, "Uehara, your town is fine, I have to go." ”

Looking at the small handwriting, Uehara felt very warm, even if he was really absent one day, there would be no shortage of these greetings on the memorial monument.
