Early the next morning, Rasa went to find Chiyo.
Firstly, Chiyo's abilities were excellent, whether in terms of ninja strength or other aspects.
Secondly, the Sand Village was currently short-staffed, often requiring one person to do the work of two. Only Chiyo was in a semi-retired state and had plenty of free time.
Rasa felt that those with ability should do more work.
"Lord Kazekage."
"Senior Chiyo, I need a puppet capable of relatively large-scale printing. At the same time, the text on it must be changeable, with a frequency of about once a week."
Rasa felt that a daily newspaper was unrealistic given the current situation.
There wasn't that much content to write.
And a monthly report would have too long an interval.
Comparatively, a weekly report would be more suitable.
"Lord Kazekage, what do you intend to do?"
"Fight a public opinion war."
Rasa said: "I believe you have already seen the effects of the cards these two times, Senior Chiyo."
"Whether last time or this time, they both achieved good results and attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, I think we should strengthen this strategy."
"I plan to run a newspaper."
"Half of the page will be used to report some matters in the ninja world, and the other half will be used to serialize some stories."
Chiyo thought for a while.
"In that case, the investment won't be small. I'm not talking about the cost of making the puppet, but the paper and ink consumed to produce the newspaper will be substantial."
"Otherwise, you won't achieve the public opinion effect you want, Lord Kazekage."
Rasa waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. In the early stages, I can be personally responsible for it. After a few issues, we should be able to find means of profit."
"Since you have already considered it, Lord Kazekage, then I have no problem here."
Chiyo said: "In about a week, I should be able to create that puppet."
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Chiyo."
Arriving at the Kazekage Building, Rasa took out a list.
It was the appointment list of high-level officials and cadres of the Sand Village.
Currently, the structures of the major ninja villages were similar.
One Kage, several elders.
Below were several departments.
ANBU, Mission Department, Police Department, Intelligence Department, Medical Department, Ninja Academy...
Below the departments were various cadres.
Rasa browsed slowly.
"Saki, a senior cadre of the Police Department. He made many contributions to the village when he was young. Because of injuries and disability, he retired from the battlefield. Skilled in Wind Style."
"This person has a pretty flexible mind. He should be able to do the job of newspaper president well."
"Disability doesn't affect this job."
"Given his contributions, a senior cadre position in the Police Department is actually a bit low for him, but there are no suitable higher positions. Promoting him to newspaper president is equivalent to a promotion."
"Moreover, there's no need to worry about Saki's loyalty."
"After all, Saki is Baki's father."
Rasa beckoned, signaling the ANBU ninja to enter.
"Lord Kazekage."
"Go ask Saki to come over."
"Yes, Lord Kazekage."
Soon, Saki arrived.
Getting on in years, but not very old, about the same as Sakumo Hatake.
In the Sand Village, he was a generation younger than Chiyo and Ebizo.
Saki was very respectful towards Rasa.
From the beginning, Saki was a staunch member of Rasa's faction.
Otherwise, Baki wouldn't have become Rasa's disciple.
Last time, Rasa saving Baki from a thousand miles away and killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone made Saki even more grateful.
"Lord Kazekage, is it something related to Baki?"
However, regarding Rasa asking him to come over, Saki didn't think it would be related to himself. Most likely it would be related to Baki. After all, he was now a cripple.
Even the matters of a senior cadre in the Police Department, he couldn't handle completely well.
"No, it has nothing to do with Baki. I called you this time, Saki, because I have a very important matter I intend to entrust to you."
Saki was stunned for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile.
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Kazekage, but look at me now, what can I still do?"
"This matter isn't about physical strength or combat, but about brains."
Rasa pointed to the chair opposite.
"Sit down, I'll explain it to you slowly. I plan to run a newspaper..."
Rasa explained his idea in detail.
After a long while, Saki finally understood.
"Lord Kazekage, you want to establish a newspaper office? And have me be the president?"
Saki's eyes lit up.
Since becoming disabled, Saki's eyes had lost their luster. He placed most of his hopes on Baki, hoping Baki could stand out and at least be stronger than himself.
But now, the appearance of the newspaper office allowed Saki to see hope that he could still achieve something.
"Exactly."
"Trust me, Lord Kazekage, I will definitely do my best."
Saki stuck out his chest and guaranteed.
"I will arrange a vice president for you. You two will select the cadres below. Within three days, I hope to see the newspaper personnel fully recruited."
"Lord Kazekage, I, Saki, guarantee to complete the mission!"
Three days later, the newspaper office was formally established.
After finishing work, Rasa went personally to inspect the situation.
It hadn't officially started operation, but from the tidiness inside, Rasa could tell that Saki was very attentive to the newspaper office's affairs and would definitely do well.
And next, only the content remained.
While walking home, Rasa thought in his heart.
"Content about Danzo is a must; this is my main purpose. As for other news, Saki can freely play it by ear."
"Another crucial point is the story."
"Only a good story can attract those people to read the newspaper."
Many things flashed through Rasa's mind.
But in the end, Rasa decided on a work related to ninja.
The Basilisk Scroll (Kouga Ninpou Chou).
Rasa had watched the anime, but the anime was adapted from a novel.
Now Rasa would just restore the novel through the anime.
"I need to find someone with good writing skills. I'll list the outline, and they will supplement and perfect the content... I can't possibly have that much time, nor can I spend that much time on this."
Karura, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard Rasa's words and poked her head out.
"Husband, I actually have a candidate to recommend."
"Who?"
"Hana."
"Hana?"
Rasa was stunned for a moment.
"Karura, you mean Hana Uchiha?"
"Yes."
Karura nodded.
"Since Hana came to our village, she has been idle most of the time. It was too boring, so she started writing stories to pass the time. I read some; she writes very well."
Rasa thought for a moment.
Letting Hana Uchiha do this matter wasn't impossible.
