Chapter 1218 Focus
In a secret grotto on the border between the Land of Sichuan and the Land of Fire, Obito Uchiha looked up at the heretic demon statue that had almost been depleted of energy and was transformed from an extremely weak sacred tree.
Although it is not like bamboo, which will die after blooming and producing offspring, the condition of the sacred tree is still not very good, even worse than before the first tailed beast was sealed.
However, this serious deficit will slowly recover over time.
Different from the previous almost silent state, the Heretic Golem has actually awakened from its slumber, and will instinctively absorb chakra and natural energy to supplement the missing nutrients. Even if it is difficult to return to the strong period before flowering and bearing fruit, it is still quite powerful.
Of course, this takes time.
"Now that things have happened, where can I find a huge source of chakra to restore my condition?"
Jue said with some frustration,
"If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have delayed it!"
Even if they sensed signs of activity from the heretic demon, Zetsu and Uchiha Obito still miscalculated. They did not expect that Ibaraki and others could really squeeze out the power within the sacred tree.
Uchiha Obito responded dullly:
"What's the use of talking about this now? It's better to think of a way to capture one or two tailed beasts for emergency use, or find a batch of good quality sacrifices..."
"Where is such an opportunity now?"
Nowadays, the "Akatsuki" organization exists like a rat crossing the street in the ninja world. Everyone screams for beatings, and as long as they show up, they will be hunted down by the "sniper team".
In the past, the "Akatsuki" organization was hiding in the dark, but now it is different. Things like collecting human sacrifices are difficult to do.
"Just do your best, you can't really wait until you get to the battlefield and then fight to support fighting..."
Nowadays, there are many strong people in the ninja world, and if you are not careful, you will be in bad luck.
Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito, whose voice was a little weak. In the eye socket behind the mask, the Mangekyō Sharingan in the right eye was normal, but the Rinnegan in the left eye socket was a little different. The surrounding blood vessels were popping out, and there were bloodshot eyes. It was red and swollen, and there was a wisp of bright red blood flowing from the corner of the eye.
"Why is there such a big reaction?"
With Uchiha Obito's qualifications and White Zetsu's possessed support, they should be able to integrate quickly, but the situation seems not to be good.
Uchiha Obito responded indifferently:
"The left eye of the Samsara Eye has not been recovered, so transplanting the right eye to the left eye is already very troublesome!"
It can still be used, but it is not so smooth. It is not his own eye in the first place, and the Rinnegan is too powerful. With Uchiha Obito's current strength, it is extremely difficult to suppress it.
"Then...you can channel the heretic demon. Is there another person who has such an ability?"
"The premise is that he can withstand the backlash of the transplanted samsara eye..."
"Then...did he bear it?"
Zetsu's question left Uchiha Obito speechless.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the inexplicable sensation coming from the Rinnegan Eye in his left eye socket made Uchiha Obito understand that the other Rinnegan Eye already had an owner.
As for the degree of fusion and how powerful it is, it's really hard to evaluate without experiencing it personally.
It is precisely because of this sense of crisis that Uchiha Obito is a little anxious. He wants to let the heretic demon recover a little, and then use the Ten-Tails Coffin Seal to seal it into the body as soon as possible and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. Even if it is incomplete, it will still be able to survive. It will make a qualitative leap in your own strength, and you don't have to worry about another owner of the Samsara Eye causing trouble.
With the outsider golem looking so hungry now, no one who wants to seal it will be able to succeed. If you act rashly, you will only become a sacrifice that is devoured.
Only beasts that are well fed and drunk will have the desire to play and coexist with their prey. Hungry wolves, tigers and leopards will not give up any piece of meat.
A strong person without great perseverance and great wisdom really cannot become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, but he cannot go against the trend. Now is obviously not a good time.
"When Kisame Kisaki comes back, let him fill the hole in the heretic demon statue, if he can come back!"
The "tailless tailed beast" that has not returned yet has been clearly arranged.
At the same time, in a small village by the lake a few kilometers away from each other, Uchiha Sasuke, Oni Deng Suigetsu and Jugo were sitting and talking.
Jugo, who has a very keen sense of danger instinctively, advised:
"It's getting more and more dangerous over there with Uchiha Obito. Sasuke, why should we follow him?"
"It's not that we have to follow that guy, but there's nowhere to go. Besides..."
Uchiha Sasuke's purpose is not to support him in seizing the leadership of the "Akatsuki" organization and provoking a war in the ninja world, but to find opportunities to kill Uchiha Obito and Zetsu, or even other things that lead to the demise of the Uchiha family. The mastermind.
Although Uchiha Obito is hateful, he is just a paranoid who has lost his humanity. Zetsu, who has a mysterious origin, seems to be a very suspicious guy. Maybe there are more secrets behind him.
Revenge cannot be endless, otherwise you will become more and more exhausted.
After killing Uchiha Itachi and bringing out Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu appeared, and even more mysterious black hands appeared.
To this day, Uchiha Sasuke doesn't know the root cause of the family's demise. If he is not found out, he always feels that he will miss something.
Therefore, it is indeed possible to leave now, but after losing the organization and not even having a reliable source of intelligence, it is impossible to buy it from the profiteer Daimaru, right?
Almost all the good things he had on him were taken away.
…
In the office of Kazekage's house in Sunagakure Village, Gaara looked at the tentative information in his hands. In the Fourth Ninja World War, all the first-line ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind will fight. There are only 16,000 people, but with almost the most powerful ninjas in the ninja world. The second-line auxiliary team totals about 5,000 people, most of whom are logistics supplies and reserve teams composed of genin puppet troops.
Logically speaking, genin generally would not be sent directly to the battlefield. Without a suitable team and inexperienced genin, they would not even be qualified cannon fodder in a great ninja war.
However, the puppet troops in Sunagakure Village are different. If the traditional ninja army is regarded as the shock cavalry, heavy armored infantry or elite servants of the cold weapon era, the hordes of puppet troops are three-stage shooting musketeers who line up to kill.
Both sides have their own advantages. Until the generation gap is completely widened, it is impossible to say who is stronger and who is weaker. Victory or failure can only be determined by the level of training, the ability of the commander, and the right time and place.
The Sand Ninja's puppet army is not the main force on the front line, but a supplement to the main force. It cannot yet act alone. With its current strength, it cannot fight tough battles, but it is still very effective in fighting smooth battles.
Sunagakure Village, which has implemented an elite policy for decades, has the smallest number of ninjas among the five major ninja villages. Most of the time, it is even fewer than the Kirigakure ninjas who fight each other.
In the past, due to limitations of natural conditions, it was impossible to raise too many ninjas, and the chuunin and jounin were seriously insufficient. After experiencing the disastrous failure of the "Konoha Collapse Plan" and being weakened again, after four or five years of supplementation, the ninja was still not fully recover.
It generally takes seven or eight years for a ninja to become a stand-alone ninja after graduating from the ninja school, and he is barely qualified in his early twenties.
Even if Sunagakure Village relaxes its talent selection process appropriately, it will still take several years for reserve talents to come forward.
The Great Ninja War usually happens every twelve to fifteen years, not without reason, because this time coincides with the growth period of ninjas.
In more than ten years, it is almost time for the major ninja villages to recover from the damage caused by the last ninja war. Internal resources are limited, and there will not be much development if they wait any longer. They can only become crazy and involuntarily involuntarily engage in a big fight. If you lose, just go back and lick your wounds again, waiting for the next opportunity. If you win, it won't do much good, but there is always something to look forward to, right?
"Why are genin puppet masters sent to the battlefield? They are not mechanics and transport machinery operators, but ninjas. It is not strange to go to the battlefield, not to mention, the danger is not very great..."
Daimaru swore that 16,000 ninjas were indeed a bit ugly. It wasn't that the Suna ninja couldn't send out more chuunin and jounin. It was actually that the genin that had grown explosively in the past few years had not yet reached the point where they had accumulated enough experience.
As long as you don't get hit by the Ten-Tailed Tailed Beast Jade, there will basically be no big problem.
But then again, with the birth of the Ten-Tails, it is very dangerous to stay anywhere in the ninja world. It is better to let some outstanding puppet masters go to the battlefield and experience the atmosphere of the ninja world war.
If there is another ninja war, I'm afraid it won't be as guaranteed as this one.
Gaara sighed slightly and said:
"Okay, you have a point!"
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. In this name, it is not impossible to send a huge second-line ninja army.
The Puppet Master of the Sand Ninja requires extremely complete logistical support. It takes a lot of effort to replace parts, repair the puppets, supply poisons and antidotes, and even the energy transmission method unique to Sand Hidden Village.
There is no other ninja village in the ninja world that needs support from the rear to exert its full strength like Sunagakure Village.
Such special circumstances make it difficult for the Suna Ninja to fight large and protracted wars, but as long as the time is right, more Ninja troops can be mobilized in a very short period of time to engage in a high-intensity war of astonishing intensity.
The tactics are almost exactly the same as those of the air combat force formed by Daimaru. Long-distance attacks, detours behind enemy lines, and fierce attacks are almost invincible. Once a protracted war is fought, the enemy will most likely have to stop.
The Fourth Ninja World War between the Ninja Alliance and the "Akatsuki" organization fell into this category. The outcome was determined by one strike. It lasted not even a month, but ended in ten and a half days.
Isn't this suitable for Suna Ninja to perform?
"Finally, I want to confirm that you are really not in the puppet army. What are you doing?"
Daimaru hesitated for a while and then replied:
"It's not about tricks, it's just a rehearsal to try the efficiency of non-contact transmission of chakra in a chaotic state of natural energy, and to demonstrate the possibility of currency anchoring the standard unit of chakra; in addition, it is also an accidental birth. It’s time to set up a layer of insurance…”
In the event of an unexpected crisis, the five thousand genin connected by the puppet core, and then resonating with the same source of power nearby, might be able to test the strength of the Infinite Tsukuyomi's illusions.
Of course, the most important thing is to prepare in advance for the order of the ninja world after the war.
The current monetary system of the ninja world is based on the silver standard, which is stable and reliable but inflexible and lacks room for maneuver.
Daimaru will find an opportunity to let Sunagakure Village control the hegemony of currency casting, completely abandon the heavy metal standard system, and use some kind of bulk goods to support its credit.
In the ninja world, there is no energy source more useful than chakra. As long as there are enough ninjas, it is completely inexhaustible.
As long as you master the chakra distribution channels to a certain extent, you don't even need a monopoly. New financial hegemony will naturally be obtained as society develops.
Gaara was not interested in the latter, which was unclear, but the former, which he had a little understanding of, was not thorough either.
"Already successful?"
“Much easier than imagined!”
Daimaru replied matter-of-factly.
This is just like the machines that used gasoline and diesel as energy in the previous life spread throughout the ninja world, controlled the standards, and then monopolized the source of crude oil production, they could harvest leeks all over the world through strong credit currency.
The puppet machinery and energy supply method of Sand Hidden Village can also use this mode.
Many large puppets are not only unable to be driven by genin, but even chuunin and jounin are very difficult to use, but they can still be used and are very popular.
From the beginning, Daimaru wanted to cut off the fossil fuel industrialization of the ninja world and take another path.
The development of secular science and technology in electric energy, petrochemical and coal chemical industries, and semiconductor informatization are also needed, but they will not become mainstream.
In contrast, chakra, an energy source, is so ideal. It is safe, environmentally friendly, reliable, sustainable, and can even be combined with personal force. There is really no reason to let it go.
"Didn't you say that you missed a crucial step some time ago?"
"This step has been taken!"
The existence of "cradle garden" and "artificial elves", as the fruits of the sacred tree turned into seedlings, supported the core foundation, making it possible to popularize large-scale psychic puppets.
It is conceivable that in the future, most ninjas, relying on their own abilities, will not be able to use those powerful and outstanding high-level puppets. If they want to get a promotion, a salary increase, and reach the top of their lives, they will contract a "high-quality and low-priced" puppet. Spirit puppets can use external forces to amplify their own strength, and even transcend the scourge of heaven to achieve class promotion.
A true genius can break through the blockade of order, but most ninjas need careful care before they can compete with geniuses.
Of course, Daimaru's idea of infiltrating the entire ninja world is not just this one, there are various methods, but the essence is similar.
"I don't object to everyone driving gasoline cars, building diesel ships, developing coal thermal power stations, or even researching nuclear energy, but if you want to become a powerful ninja and use more efficient power, Sunagakure Village's 'Psychic Puppet' integrated solution , is always the most ideal shortcut, and at the end of the road, there is a magical immortal mode waiting for those who are willing to discover it!"
It is too difficult to achieve existence like gods and demons, but the threshold for being transcendent, prolonging life, protecting and strengthening the body, punishing evil and promoting good will be lowered a lot in the foreseeable future.
