Red sand dust

When there is no other choice, it is understandable to treat oneself as a test subject and take risks, but he has not yet reached that point of despair.

It would be best to establish a base, like Orochimaru did, and recruit countless "volunteers" for one's own use, but Daimaru does not have such appeal.

Experimenting on compatriots was against his original intention, and recklessly letting Yemu and Qian come into contact with the power of the curse seal had already caused some bad consequences. Fortunately, the involvement was not deep, and there was still hope of recovery.

If we try again randomly, we will be in trouble if something goes wrong.

Doing some tricks on the thirteen experimental wing armors was already the limit of what Daimaru could do by "faking public benefit for personal gain".

It can be imagined that Samana, the second generation Kazekage, also tried to start with puppets out of desperation.

Although the results were not satisfactory, at least it laid the foundation for the puppet technique of Sunagakure Village and enhanced the strength of Sunagakure.

The Red Sand Scorpion inherited the essence of the puppet technique, created the human puppet technique and carried it forward.

Daimaru must start from a living puppet and find a way to control natural energy for his own use.

Like Gravel, he does not actually have mastery of natural energy. It is estimated that his level of sensing and manipulating natural energy is not as good as Daimaru, but he can ingeniously find a way to use natural energy to slightly improve his strength.

What Daimaru wants is not this, but the sage mode that will produce a qualitative change in the ninja itself.

"So, I have to find some ninjas who don't have any worries to try it first..."

The only ones he has that can be put to practical use are Ukon and the White Zetsu clones.

Even though these two living puppets have rough skin and thick flesh and can withstand torture, the erosion and destructive power of natural energy is too strong. If they are accidentally "broken", it will not be easy to find similar living puppets.

With this thought, Daimaru set his sights on the Iwa Ninja in the north.

…

Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja are fighting again?

There is nothing strange about this news. It is quite normal for mortal enemies to clash every once in a while.

Did the Sand Ninja win?

It's a bit interesting. Although Sunagakure Village has been very weak in recent years, it is still one of the five major ninja villages. Even if the current situation is not good, a sudden attack to defeat the Iwa ninja is a bit surprising, but it is still acceptable.

Only the process of victory worries some discerning people.

Back then, the second generation of Hokage, Senju Tobirama, pioneered the establishment of a ninja school, training a large number of civilians with ordinary qualifications to become ninjas, establishing the unshakable dominance of Konoha Village in one fell swoop.

During the Second Ninja War, Tsunade established a medical force against all opinions, which made Konoha Village, which fought alone in the Ninja World without falling behind, have a much lower battle damage rate than other Ninja Villages, and eventually defeated the enemies one by one.

The Third Ninja World War was the stage where Konoha White Fang and Golden Flash became famous. Since the era of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the new generation of ninjas have finally seen that a ninja who is powerful enough to a certain extent can defeat the enemy with only his personal force. Can dominate the trend of the ninja world.

Heroes and meritorious teams appeared again and again, greatly changing the pattern of ninja wars. Tens of thousands of Iwagakure besieged the Third Raikage, and suffered heavy losses. They relied on human sea tactics to exhaust the enemy to death, forcing Iwagakure to be outside the regular troops. The construction of special forces such as demolition troops was accelerated.

Before Konoha White Fang's wanton assassination on the battlefield, the Suna Ninja Puppet Master had never been so strict in protecting himself. How could a puppet master with such a high status be willing to lie down in the grass, burrow into a cave, and spare no effort to develop the Puppet Substitution Technique? Ninjutsu?

To put it further, it was precisely because of the rise of the Suna Ninja Puppet Master that the poisoning tactics became popular, forcing Konoha Village to establish a medical force to reduce its own casualties. The establishment of Konoha Village's medical force in turn prompted the Suna Ninja to develop A poison that is more toxic and takes effect faster.

This time, the Sunagakure Village aerial combat unit was in the limelight, which made the Tsuchikage Sandaime determined to reveal the secret technique of earth escape and super light heavy rock to his trusted subordinates, in order to strengthen the number of aerial combat ninjas.

The Cloud Ninja sent a team to capture the mountain eagle, with the intention of taming the flying psychic beasts.

The Mist Ninja is too remote and mysterious to be known for now.

While the Leaf Village is strengthening the cultivation of flying psychic beasts, it is also increasing the cultivation of flying ninjas.

The importance of special ninjas like Sayi who are proficient in ninjutsu and super beast pseudo-art and can control multiple large flying puppets has been greatly increased.

As for forming our own air combat force, it is estimated that there will be no hope for a while, so we can only strengthen the air force emergency response first.

Kumogakure Village and Konoha Village, which have basic foundations, have increased their research on war machinery such as high-explosive ballistae. Anyway, the two strongest ninja villages are not short of money. With high investment, it is only a matter of time before they achieve results. thing.

But for now, you still have to worry about what you should worry about.

In the Hokage's home office, Tsunade put her chin on her palm helplessly and complained to Shizune:

"Of course I know I have to find a way, but where can I take care of it in such a short time?"

Mito Kaden and Koharu have mentioned it several times. Not long ago, Shimura Danzo, who left, criticized the Fifth Hokage's inaction in the face of threats, implying that if he couldn't do it, he would abdicate early and make way for someone better. .

"I just want to question my lack of ability and let someone with the ability come..."

Thinking about the face of Danzo Shimura, who seemed to be so righteous, Tsunade could not help but curl her lips in disdain.

During his decades as an elder, Shimura Danzo has made great contributions to the village, but his eagerness to be the Hokage is so ugly that Tsunade, the fifth generation Hokage, can't stand it.

"I searched the entire Konoha Village and found that the person who used the puppet technique best was Mizuki, who was in a prison for serious criminals. He was a mediocre chuunin. How could I develop a winged armor like the Suna Ninja? ?”

The highest level of puppetry in Konoha Village is only at the level of being able to barely control the battle, so don't count on the tactical level; the technology of making puppets is even more difficult to describe.

It’s unclear how many years it will take to build a complete set of high-end ninja technology from scratch before we can see results; as for the expenses, we haven’t considered the budget yet, and we can’t even pass the feasibility study at the moment.

Shizune on the side laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to comfort her boss who even though he had not drank yet, seemed to be very drunk and was chattering away.

After venting her dissatisfaction, Tsunade calmed down her anxious mood and ordered:

"Let's make some arrangements and send an envoy to Sunagakure Village... Wait, call Umino Iruka, Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shiwei first..."

These are the only Konoha ninjas who have had close contact with Sunagakure Village's air combat troops and are familiar with Daimaru!
