16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 246 Preparing for Change

"This is... the power of the dragon veins..."

On the ruins of Loulan still full of yellow sand, Uchiha Shisui and Queen Sara of Loulan stood together, looking up at the red sand scorpion with different moods. Under the control, he slowly stood up straight, a huge humanoid puppet standing on the ground.

"It's really good, but it's no wonder that Hui Yelian values ​​the power of this dragon vein so much."

The cold voice of the Red Sand Scorpion came from the giant humanoid puppet. He had been authorized by Loulan Queen Sara, and now he had the qualifications to initially control the power of the dragon veins. When the chakra gushed out from the broken seal, even a powerhouse with rich life experience like him couldn't help but be amazed by the mighty power of the dragon vein.

"Mistake, mistake... If I had paid more attention to the rumor I heard at the beginning, it should be possible to fully grasp the power of the dragon's veins by making Queen Loulan a human puppet, instead of being treated like this by you. A nasty puppy is being stared at."

"You have just come into contact with the power of the dragon veins, are you planning to break the agreement, Scorpion!?"

Uchiha Shisui's face turned cold, and while protecting Queen Sara behind him, he asked in a low voice while grabbing the remnant sword on his back.

"Then you can rest assured that I am different from ordinary people like An Lushan who have stupid ambitions but limited abilities. With just a little bit of effort, I can already make Loulan reproduce the past of the Kingdom of Thousand Towers and complete the task." Kaguya Rei and I have asked for the job of building an assembly line... Even the one you are loyal to will not accuse me of using the power of dragon veins to further study the future of puppetry in addition to completing the work."

The huge humanoid puppet tilted its head, looked down at Uchiha Shisui who was facing a formidable enemy, and said with a sneer.

"Do you think you have a very credible image in our eyes, Scorpio?" Uchiha Shisui kept asking doubts, and continued to ask.

"That's something you guys have to think about, not me..."

The Scarlet Sand Scorpion shook his head, and instantly disintegrated the huge puppets he controlled into a large number of puppets with one person standing up and down. While directing them to start cleaning up the ruins of Loulan, he said in a still young voice:
"However, I can give you a piece of advice. Whether you are rebellious or not, before making a choice, you should integrate all the information in your hands, and compare the possible benefits and risks of each choice. You can allow yourself because Knowing the risks beyond the intelligence and failing, but absolutely should not know that the risks are far higher than the gains, and still insist on thinking that you can get out of the whole body after swallowing the benefits."

"...I thought that after leaving Kirigakure, you would become that daring lunatic again, who would not even take such crazy acts as assassinating Kazekage seriously."

Uchiha Shisui withdrew his right hand holding the handle of the knife, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I could take the dragon veins away, you would be corpses in the yellow sand by now."

The red sand scorpion who made himself a puppet body for easy movement snorted coldly, "It's just because the dragon veins are rooted here and I can't move, and I don't want to be hit by that monster Kirigakure when I'm studying puppetry." , you were able to save a life, don’t get me wrong, Uchiha’s puppy.”

"... Forget it, I won't argue with you for the benefit of words."

Uchiha Shisui rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then took out from his pocket the Loulan city structure map restored by Queen Sara based on her memories, and Kaguya Rei's design opinions on the production line of [biscuits], and handed them over together. To the Red Sand Scorpion who came over.

"These are some reference materials and design opinions that may be useful. The purpose of the fourth generation is to hope that Loulan can be rebuilt to the point where it can start mass production of [biscuits] within half a year... Can you do it, Scorpion?"

"Half a year? I'm really underestimated..."

The Red Sand Scorpion put the finished scroll into his robe, turned indifferently and walked towards the Loulan ruins that had been cleaned up by the puppets:
"A month later, ask Hui Yelian to deliver the raw materials for the production of the secret medicine and the first batch of sellers... I don't like waiting for people, and I don't like making people wait."

Seeing that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion had no intention of continuing to communicate with himself and the others, Uchiha Shisui, who was sent over as a temporary supervisor, couldn't help but sighed helplessly. Seeing this, Queen Sara, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, pulled again. Pulling his sleeve, he asked in a low voice:
"Is it really okay to trust him like this? I mean... No matter how you look at it, he is a very dangerous guy, right?"

"But he is undoubtedly the best puppet master in this era. If you want to maximize the enhancement of dragon veins in puppet art, the red sand scorpion, a lunatic who can even transform his own body into a puppet, is the best puppet master." The only choice."

Uchiha Shisui's patient explanation did not fully convince Queen Sara. She puffed up her face and asked with a puzzled look:

"I don't understand. Even if you want to use the power of this kind of person, you must use the power of the dragon's veins. What is Mizukage in your village thinking? Isn't he afraid that these dangerous guys will do something beyond him? Is something under control coming?"

"First, in terms of the strength of the fourth generation, no one in the ninja world can do things beyond his control for the time being," Uchiha Shisui raised two fingers and answered patiently:

"Secondly, the dragon vein is an important attempt to apply chakra to production and life on a large scale. If Loulan's experiment can be successful, then the country of ghosts will also start the next experiment, and gradually apply the results of these experiments. The experience and gains are extended to the countries affected by us, completely changing the existing social forms and production methods in the ninja world."

"...Is what you just said in a language I can understand?"

Sara looked at Shisui Uchiha with a confused expression, and only felt that she could vaguely understand every syllable that the other party said just now, but when these words were combined together, it became a meaning that she could not understand at all .

In this regard, Uchiha Shisui just shrugged and comforted in a reassuring tone:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that this is the fourth generation's preparations for the upcoming long peace..."

"Peace... is coming?"

Queen Sara was full of disbelief, "But you just brought the news not long ago that the Ninja Village of the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder raided Konoha in the Land of Fire, and almost destroyed the entire Konoha Village... With such a terrible thing happening, how can it be seen that peace is about to come?"

"It will be here soon."

Uchiha Shisui smiled, looked up at the cloudless and clear sky, and said leisurely:

"Not only will peace come, but this time the peace will be long enough to allow people who have experienced so many years of war in the ninja world to accept that chakra users are not only able to take the path of becoming a ninja who is good at destruction and war point."

……

"After nearly 20 years, after being recognized by the shadows of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, even after a peaceful time when friction on the border rarely occurred, Konoha is still just a ninja village, Konoha After the children grow up, they still only know that ninja is the most promising profession in Konoha. Even Hyuga, the only heir to a famous family with a big family, is still a ninja who needs to go out to perform tasks, fight and kill. Killing ninja."

"The ones who maintain this order are the two blood ninjas who have mastered the only bloodlines that can confront the Otsuki clan head-on. They are stronger than me now and you at your peak."

"Do you think that in such a world, the mutual understanding you expect between people can really be realized, Senshou Bashirama?"

Kaguya looked into Senju Bashima's eyes and asked seriously.

　The medicine works, but it doesn't feel like it's completely working...
