Chapter 87: Who Should Be Chosen for the Next Session?
Soon, half a month quietly slipped away.
The training at the special training camp had also completely come to an end. Today, everyone was packing their bags, preparing to return by truck.
Among them were Ebizo and Uzumaki Roka.
There was no other way; ever since Saito arrived with the local specialties, Ebizo hadn't had a single day of leisure. He had to correct documents every day—how was this any different from being in the Hidden Sand Village?
No! There was still a difference... at the Hidden Sand Village, at least he didn't have to carry the documents himself, and there was someone to brew tea for him!
Thinking of this, Ebizo felt he might as well return to the Hidden Sand Village.
That damn Kazekage would rather commute to the Hidden Sand Village every day than correct the documents himself.
Darkness! It was simply too much darkness!
Furthermore, the main purpose of the vacation—the proposal—had been successfully completed, aside from being watched by a few peeping toms... Overall, it was quite perfect. He had seen the scenery here for long enough and was tired of eating seafood, so it was about time to head back.
At this moment, Uzumaki Roka was wearing a ring on her right ring finger, and a gold bracelet was also around her wrist.
She was watching Ebizo move their daily necessities from the past month or so onto the truck.
"Oh, Huahua, it didn't feel like much when we came, but why does it feel like there's so much stuff now that we're leaving?"
Looking at the large and small bags piled on the ground, Ebizo said with a sigh.
"Isn't it because we're taking some local specialties back? Of course there's more stuff."
"True." Hearing what Uzumaki Roka said, Ebizo felt it made sense. He then looked at Saito, who was drinking coconut juice nearby, and spoke loudly with a smile.
"There really are a lot of local specialties on this beach, especially these ten-kilogram gold bricks Tsk tsk~~"
Saito: "!!!"
Darkness! Too much darkness!
Saito felt he couldn't stay here any longer; he needed to find a place with a bit more light.
Thus, Saito went to where the Mirage was.
He still had a task today.
That was to release the Mirage back into the sea.
At this time, where the Mirage was, Yahiko was whispering to it.
"Mirage, once I'm settled back in the Hidden Sand Village, I'll summon you through the Summoning Jutsu. Then I'll show you where I live. There are mountains there too, and I'll take you to see the desert below the mountains. It's all golden; you've definitely never seen anything like it."
Saito, who had just walked over, felt very gratified upon hearing Yahiko's words.
Listen to that; this is the new Hidden Sand spirit: unity, friendship, and integrity.
Strictly keeping the promise he had made.
Unlike those old Sand Shinobi.
Coming to steal!
Coming to deceive!
Coming to snatch his gold!
Hearing what Yahiko said, Saito felt his education had been very successful.
"Ahem. Mirage, when you get to the seabed later, if you find any valuable good stuff, don't tell anyone. Especially that guy named Kakuzu; he's really good at driving prices down. Tell me secretly, and we'll sell it on the sly. That way, the money will be for the two of us, heh heh heh~"
Saito: "???!!!"
Sure enough, darkness is contagious.
I remember Yahiko in the original story was very upright and sunny; how did he learn to stash things away!
Indeed, there's still too much darkness in the Hidden Sand Village!
The education is still not enough!
"Ahem!"
To prevent the darkness from spreading to the Mirage, Saito decisively spoke up to interrupt Yahiko's next words.
He had to interrupt; back when it was simple, the Mirage could earn four hundred million a year for the Second Mizukage.
If it got infected by Yahiko, it might not even earn one hundred million a year.
Then Kakuzu would definitely storm into his office. You have to know, he told Kakuzu there was a big business deal.
Even that fellow the Second Mizukage, who didn't know how to do business, could earn four hundred million a year. It wouldn't do if Kakuzu came and earned even less than the Second Mizukage.
He didn't dare imagine what a Kakuzu who couldn't make money would look like.
"D... Dad. When did you get here?"
Looking at Yahiko's eyes darting around, Saito replied irritably.
"Just now! I didn't hear a thing."
Yahiko: "..."
"So, are you done chatting?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Alright then, go to your mother's side. We'll take the same car back in a bit."
"Okay."
After Yahiko left, Saito also prepared to get to work.
The place chosen this time was quite far, over five hundred kilometers away.
But there are many schools of fish there, and many migrate through every year, so a lot of intelligence can be gathered there.
"How about it? Mirage, are you ready?"
[I'm ready.]
"Alright, let's set off then."
After saying that, he summoned Gold Dust from underground, lifted the Mirage off the ground, and they walked toward the seabed together.
Ebizo, seeing this scene from not far away...
"Less! I said ten kilograms was too little! That's not even the size of a fingernail!"
Uzumaki Roka: "..."

"Duy, what did you think of the training camp this time?"
At this moment, in the Kazekage's office, Might Duy and Saito were sitting on the guest sofa.
"Lord Kazekage, it was excellent. Everyone successfully persevered. They all truly identify with my youth!
I feel that in the Hidden Sand Village, my youth is burning once again! Thank you very much, Lord Kazekage!"
"Haha, no need to thank me. This is all the reward for your hard work and responsibility."
"Then do you think this special training camp can continue to be held?"
"Of course, Lord Kazekage! This is the embodiment of youth! And how can youth ever stop!"
"Very good, quite motivated. The Hidden Sand Village needs excellent talents like you! Then, Dai, you go back and rest for a few days. Spend some good time with Nanako and Kai."
Once I have the next batch of students organized, I'll notify you."
"Alright! Lord Kazekage, I'll be waiting for the call of your youth."
After seeing Might Duy off, Saito sat back in the Kazekage's office chair.
Looking at the specially made gold-plated desk in front of him, which didn't have a single document on it, Saito's mood became beautiful once again.
Look at that, this is how an office desk should look.
If the desk were covered in documents... then who would know my desk is gold-plated!
After Saito plated the desk with another layer of gold, he also prepared to get to work.
What? It was already gold-plated, so why plate it with another layer?
Saito indicated that he had excavated several gold mines on the seabed a few days ago.
Money is no object!
"It's November 9th now. It's about right; by the time the next batch of training camp ends, it'll be just in time for the New Year. Perfect!"
"Let me see who should be chosen this time..."
"Rasa? This one must be chosen. I heard he's all lovey-dovey with Karura in the New City every day. This won't do; how can one have puppy love at such a young age! I must arrange a session for him. While I'm at it, I'll also arrange for Karura to be in the medical group so she can see the hairless Rasa."
"Sunasuke? This one comes in too. As a senior, if your Taijutsu is overtaken by a junior, wouldn't that be embarrassing? I'm doing this for your own good!"
