Chapter 403 Puppet Lesson

Not everyone has the talent to become a ninja. People like Naruto were not easy to become. The elimination rate of Konoha Ninja School was very high, especially during the peace years. Of course, Konoha's high standards are not universally applicable to other Xiaonin villages.

But the school on Sasuke's territory was not opened specifically to train ninjas, but to train them into qualified "screws". Ordinary people are the majority. Being able to use chakra and ninjutsu will only mean a wider range of employment after graduation. If you are smart enough, in some fields, such as scientific research and business, the income and benefits may not be better than doing tasks as a ninja. lower.

Since there is an energy system like chakra, of course a certain military reserve will be built on this basis, but the country's fiscal revenue will not depend on the unprofitable operation of sending ninjas on missions to make money. Judging from Konoha's financial situation, it is obvious that it cannot make ends meet, and it all depends on the daimyo's allocations every month and every year.

After all, the ninja organization is just a master house that can undertake unlimited risk coefficients, or... the adventurers guild?

In Sasuke's view, S-class missions involve a high probability of bloodshed, so it is natural that wages and welfare subsidies should be paid in a formal manner.

For those small and trivial tasks below S level, such as escorting, a professional security logistics company should be established; cleaning work should be handed over to sanitation; the expenses caused by finding cats and dogs to cultivate the sentiments of the wealthy class also have a certain technical content (ordinary People can’t be caught), it’s understandable that you ask for help from ninjas. Is it really necessary to spend a lot of money to use ninjas for ordinary labor such as salespeople who temporarily support the store?

It's expensive, not necessarily professional, and there is a risk of failure. If you fail, you can only curse a few times, but you don't dare to curse too harshly, let alone no compensation.

Obviously, most of the experimental subjects have talents but very average talents. These people who would have had difficulty graduating from Konoha but who were lucky enough not to be scrapped in the base were raised by Orochimaru from the level of ordinary people to a level of ordinary people. Not on their level.

He has never learned the seals, nor has he systematically refined chakra, let alone basic ninja exercises such as climbing trees, treading water, or even the three-body technique. He only relies on implanted biological limbs, special cells, and curse seals... In addition to the ability to sense chakra, he can also shoot out chakra cannons or have strange abilities.

I have never thrown a dart kunai, and I have no physical training. Just some muscle strengthening can improve my strength and speed very well.

The Konoha Ninja School, especially the theoretical knowledge and high-intensity cramming teaching, is unreasonable, but after removing the dross, the remaining essence must be learned, but how long will it take to learn it all again? How much improvement can be achieved?

In Sasuke's view, as the population increases, most of the functions of ninjas will inevitably be replaced. Too many people with too strong abilities will completely increase social instability out of thin air.

Sasuke used to practice with them when he visited various bases in the past, but being beaten by Uchiha over and over again can only be said as a matter of course. This does not affect their understanding of their own strength.

Rather than continuing to use "military training" to cut off the thorns, what they need more is to return to a normal life in a stable environment.

We must allow those who have gained strength in their study and life to have a correct understanding of their own value and not to aim too high. He will be stronger than ordinary people, but not by much. We also need to let them know how to maximize their special abilities.

What should we do if we have insufficient strength, insufficient population, and weak economic strength?

Sand Hidden Village has already given a solution that has not been carried forward - puppetry.

After all, environmental factors are limiting. Although we want to use puppets to make up for the population gap, the materials are expensive, the finished equipment is more expensive, and there are few talented ninjas. It is understandable that it cannot be developed. But when this technology is put into the Land of Fire, those who originally The problem was naturally solved, but on the contrary, there were too many development directions, too many talents, too many resources, the puppetry skills were mediocre, and there were still points that could not be brought to the table. Even forbidden techniques such as "Human Puppet" seem to be too conservative in the moral bottom line of Sunagakure Village. No matter how forbidden it is, it is just playing with dead corpses. The operation of turning living psychic beast-level creatures into weapons is not limited to the Great Sword Shark. , Konoha even plays with the undead, not to mention the common "gods of death", "evil gods", "modified creatures", "human body fusion"...

Of course, Sasuke's puppetry skills were top of the list.

Puppet can use chakra more accurately than a wide range of ninjutsu, converting them into kinetic energy. Not to mention the power, in terms of utilization rate, it is quite efficient and is considered top-notch among all ninjutsu.

Chakra lines can train the ability to control chakra. If you want to reach the level of "puppet master", you need to rely on talents that can be said to be second only to medical ninjas. However, if you just want to practice, you don't have the necessary talent threshold like "necromancy". .

And in some cases, such as when contacting a "puppet", just like holding a weapon directly, the requirement of chakra line can be further omitted. Although it lacks the accuracy requirements of remote control, it greatly lowers the entry barrier.

Sasuke included the control practice of the Puppet Technique in the curriculum planning on the same level as the Three Body Technique and Throwing Technique.

After all, in the eyes of those who possess chakra, all kinds of civilian mechanical manipulation are definitely not as serious and upscale as "puppetry". "Puppetry" has hundreds of years of inheritance and historical stories to tell. Although it is not famous, it is still a unique feature.

"Use the puppet technique to benefit the people and make life more convenient." This was the slogan of the second generation Kazekage when he spread the puppet technique.

An entire ninja village from a great country comes to endorse it and uses the name of Puppetry as a guarantee. Even if it is an imported product from outside the Fire Country, people will still subconsciously think that the content taught in the school is what ninjas should learn.

Among the Five Elements Release Techniques, Earth Release is undoubtedly the most convenient to quantify the effect. Like other ninjutsu, it will also be used for comparison when explaining the Puppet Technique. A variety of agricultural machinery will appear in the course. By comparing the difference between plowing the ground using escape techniques and plowing the ground with a rotary cultivator, these new ninjas can intuitively see the operating principles of the puppet technique and its exaggerated energy efficiency. Compare.

If you use soil release ninjutsu to plow one acre of land, the same amount of chakra control "puppet" will be slower, but it can plow more than five acres of land, and it will be more even and detailed. You can set the final idea in advance by configuring different mechanical equipment. To achieve the desired effect, you won't waste energy by forcibly controlling the changes in escape techniques all the time. You only need to refine chakra step by step.

Ordinary people don't have chakra. If they convert chakra into electrical energy, store it, and then drive machinery, this conversion process will waste one-third of the chakra in vain. Where does ordinary people's chakra come from? Isn't it necessary to spend money to buy electricity or ask someone with chakra to "recharge" it?
