Hatake Satoru stood up straight and started walking toward the inner part of the Land of Earth, waving his hand at Han as he turned his back to her.
"Hey, but if the fire gets too big at that time, it will break the pottery,"
Han replied, a little unsure.
"Just try it,"
Hatake Satoru clearly didn't want to explain any further, just shrugged his shoulders and responded to Han.
If you treat pottery too carefully, you will never get a piece with cracks.
If Han'nyu just wants the pottery to have cracks, she can do it by following the method that Hatake Satoru said.
However, when Hatake Satoru was looking at the pendant,
He unexpectedly found another very interesting thing.
That is, the texture of the pendant is not made of ordinary clay at all.
If you just want cracks, you can get them according to the method Hatake Satoru described, but it's basically impossible to get the pottery to give off that creamy white light.
That's related to the raw material.
Although he hadn't actually fired any himself, ceramic that has been fired should be cold white, whether it has cracks or not.
"You should know something about the people who came here decades ago, right?"
After walking a distance, Hatake Satoru playfully raised his eyebrows and said to Sasori.
Sasori had been wearing a thoughtful expression, and he probably knew something.
Even if he hadn't put everything together, he should know something.
"Can you just let this joke go...?"
Sasori couldn't help but take a deep breath, giving Hatake Satoru a dissatisfied look.
Hatake Satoru still had that annoying expression like, "Yeah, I'm just teasing you, so what?"
Just looking at it makes you feel annoyed...!
"I know, but I don't think it matters,"
Sasori scratched his red hair, trying to dig out some useful information from the depths of his memory.
This all happened before he was fifteen years old, and it's been over twenty years now.
"Moshao was indeed the village chief of this place. In my memory, he was a person who valued art very much, a bit similar to me and that kid Deidara,"
"So, that person cared more about making pottery than the village's development,"
"Although this place isn't as rich as it is now, it wasn't exactly poor either, after all, those flowered pottery pieces have different depths of cracks,"
"They can be used as expensive works of art, or they can be placed on weapons,"
"My grandmother's puppets also had that kind of pottery on them because the Chakra can control the pottery quite well because of the cracks,"
"It's easier to control than wood,"
"But because the price of pottery is too high, and it's easily broken, it's been abandoned now,"
"I don't remember anything else,"
Sasori touched his chin thoughtfully.
So, when he saw this country, which used to be a field of pale white as far as the eye could see, had now turned into a gaudy riot of colors, he felt deeply surprised.
After all, according to his memory of Moshao's personality, this kind of thing should never have happened.
That person valued art more than his own life, how could he let this village become a place that pursues money.
"Huh...? Huh...?"
"Although I can basically understand what you're talking about, why are you going to find the current village chief?"
"They've already changed, so you probably won't be able to find out any useful information, yeah,"
Deidara said, looking a little confused.
The two of them both had thoughtful expressions, as if they already knew something.
The two smart guys put him in the middle and made him look like an idiot.
He was the only one here who was completely confused, making him look stupid!?
He's the one who needs to find clay.
Hatake Satoru blinked his eyes behind his sunglasses, giving a somewhat innocent smile.
"Not really, we have to go take a look anyway,"
"And I'm a little curious about what this so-called new world is, they went to find a new world and then disappeared,"
"The skilled craftsmen disappeared in a short period of time, but the flowering technique gradually declined over several years,"
"Isn't that strange?"
Sasori and Deidara both fell into thought at the same time.
Han'nyu did say this, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but thinking about it carefully, there is a problem.
Even according to Han's statement, even if the skilled craftsmen disappeared in a short period of time, the village would still have people who could do the flowering technique...
But now no one can do the flowering anymore.
That is to say, the craftsmen who were able to do the flowering in the past can't do it now.
"Why?"
"People who know how to make flowers shouldn't lose their skills,"
"And now that there's all that tacky stuff outside, the flowered pottery should be worth more,"
Sasori pursed his lips, frowned, and looked around.
They had already walked out of the forest, and the Land of Earth was still a prosperous place, with traders coming and going and eye-catching tiles everywhere.
"Because there's no material,"
"Even if there are no craftsmen, as long as that clay still exists, someone can still fire white flowered pottery,"
"The clay used to make the flowers is different, the fired pottery not only has cracks, but also gives off a creamy white glow,"
"That clay is different from the clay that Han'nyu and everyone else uses,"
"So, I'm thinking, the people who went to find a new world, did they go to find a new place and clay because the clay here was running out?"
Hatake Satoru slightly raised his eyes, unfolding his Six Eyes to sense the surroundings.
In addition to the people moving around, he could also sense the surrounding buildings.
As long as he locates their position on the overhead view of the entire Land of Earth, he can directly find the center of the village chief.
"You want to go to the village chief's house to see the actual situation?"
Sasori quickly understood Hatake Satoru's intentions. According to the situation they can guess at the moment, there can't be much of that clay left.
But it's impossible that it's already used up. Hatake Satoru just wants to see what the situation is now.
However, Sasori also had something he wanted to go there to see, he paused and didn't say much. "Yeah, that's right,"
"If there isn't any, then there's nothing we can do,"
Hatake Satoru put his hands behind his head, with a helpless and relaxed expression.
"Ha... hah...? There's nothing we can do if there isn't any..."
"What kind of thing is that to say? Did you just trick me into joining and now it's none of your business?"
"Were you originally this kind of completely unreliable person!? Yeah,"
Deidara wailed at Hatake Satoru.
