Red Dust

"Why don't you answer? It looks like you want to continue fighting..."

Before Miss Sha Ye's voice fell, she saw that Shanai began to form a seal, and a piece of sand and dust filled the body of the three of her own. As the light deflected, it disappeared from the sight of Hyuga Neji and Luo Li.

Such a change made Locke, who was carrying Tiantian, nervously get closer to his teammates, while Hyuga Neji opened his eyes and stared at Sand Ninja's position.

Fortunately, although the other party has made preparations, they have no intention of attacking.

"You don't want to waste your time helping your teammates, right? We just want to find that female ninja named Kurama Yakumo. It would be great if you could tell them where they are..."

Chunin exams are not a place to play with one's will, and the competition is fierce, but useless battles are not a must.

In fact, Hyuga Neji himself wanted to give in a little in exchange for time to rest, but the aggressive Sand Shinobi had an unfriendly attitude. Konoha, who had been a genius for so many years, was not willing to accept the other party's conditions easily.

After hesitating for a moment, just as he was about to politely refuse, repel the opponent, and think about it again, on a small sand dune not far away, three Sand Ren hurried towards this side, and brushed up against them under the gaze of five pairs of eyes. After that, he ran to the center of the "Desert of Demons" without looking back.

"That's Chaofeng, Yashewan, and Wanshi. They're pretty good. Who can force them to flee?"

Just when everyone was still baffled by this scene, not far away, an enchantment curtain wall approached here at a speed far exceeding the speed of the past two days. As well as the self-disciplined puppet hovering at a low altitude, looking at this side, waiting to drown the "out of the circle" Shimonin candidates.

"What are you still doing, run!"

With a roar from Zi Luo, she took the lead and ran in the direction where the compatriots were leaving. Sha Ye and Shanai didn't care about their image and quickly followed.

After staying for a few seconds, Hyuga Neji and Luo Li didn't care about their face, so they took up the threat of following Sand Shinobi every day and getting out of the "circle of scourge" as soon as possible.

"That guy, Daimaru, has gone too far. At the last moment, he actually increased the difficulty so much. It seems that he is not going to give people a chance to pass the test!"

……

At this moment, Daimaru, who was being muttered with resentment, with the help of several assistants, carefully removed the "black stick" used by Shura Dao to transmit power.

Immediately afterwards, the half-puppet-like bodies were disassembled one by one. After two hours, the original body of a single person became a large and small part covering a small half of the laboratory floor.

"Actually, it can be divided into more detail, but it is not necessary. We are not medical ninjas, but puppet masters. Just figure out the function of each functional module!"

Daimaru took off his gloves, looked at the scattered pieces on the ground, and said with understanding,

"Essentially, it's a bit like a human puppet, but it's much smarter..."

It's not Daimaru's nonsense. The human puppet manufacturing technology of the Red Sand Scorpion requires the extraction and retention of chakra while the "material" ninja is still alive, and then transforms the body, and then undergoes a series of complex modulations to become human puppets.

The original owners of Penn's Six Paths are all dead ninjas, who have undergone more complex transformations to easily carry the power of the Samsara Eye.

If the ninja's body is regarded as a mobile phone, the soul is the owner, and the puppet is to kick the phone owner, make a fingerprint film, break the password lock, and manipulate the phone; and Penn's Six Paths goes a step further, not only stealing the phone, but also It also optimized the operating system, opened the back door, and replaced some of the built-in programs.

The upper limit of the human puppet's strength is the strength of the original owner of the body, and Penn's Six Paths can break through this shackle, even far beyond it.

After guarding Gaara, I came to see Daimaru "unpacking and disassembling". Kankuro, who has a long experience, turned his eyes on the parts all over the floor several times and asked:

"Can you make a similar puppet?"

Daimaru shook his head and replied:

"I already know the principle, and I have tried similar operations. However, it is more difficult to instill one's own power into the puppet's body from a long distance, almost without damage, like Samsara Eye."

Daimaru picked up the inconspicuous black stick with tweezers, shook it and continued to explain,

"This thing is a long-distance receiver. Without it, the power can be projected from a long distance, and the attenuation is amazing. When I cast it myself, it exceeds 500 meters. The power of A-level ninjutsu, when used by puppets, is not much greater than C-level ninjutsu... ..."

"This...the practicality is too bad!"

Even if you don't understand it very well, you can still see the basic comparison.

"Don't underestimate these unremarkable little things. These are the real products of Yin-Yang Escape. Even if you can develop a little bit of fur, it is enough to support a good inheritance of ninjutsu."

"Then do you have a way to use this loot?"

"It's a little hard!"

Even though Daimaru has been in immortal mode for a while, he has obtained samples of the power of yin and yang, and even sneaks into the depths of Sasuke Uchiha's soul from time to time to observe the movements of Indra's reincarnation Chakra, but the gains are still very few.

However, it is not all fruitless.

Nagato's use of Penn's Six Paths also gave Daimaru a lot of inspiration.

Chapter 0816 Efficiency

Daimaru's ninjutsu system is relatively complex, and most of them are not weak, but it is difficult to connect them into a complete set of tactics.

For example, when performing puppet art, it is more difficult to take into account both wind escape and fine mystic art; there are not many scenes where sand ninjutsu and puppet art are used at the same time.

But if it is split into unique puppet bodies, like Payne's Six Paths, to form a set of combined attack tactics, it can not only fully exert its own strengths, but may even exceed its own strength limit.

In the competition with the strong, the role may be relatively small, but when playing against ninjas of the same level, the advantage is too great.

In addition, it can also come in handy in a critical moment when encountering a sea of ​​tactical encirclement and suppression.

If it can really reach the expected height, like Raikage III, the tragedy of being besieged to death by Ten Thousand Rock Shinobi is basically impossible for Daimaru.

"In terms of how to "abuse vegetables", I guess I can already do it to the extreme; the problem is how to deal with a master with crushing strength such as Jutsu Ren Zhuli, I still can't find a good way! 』

Even after dismantling the Asura Dao, I understand what the power of the eye of reincarnation is about, but how to achieve the key leap and truly understand the mystery of yin and yang escape is really a bit troublesome.

Daimaru, whose harvest was not as good as expected, was thinking about it, Kankuro carefully walked among the piles of parts, bent down from time to time, and stretched out his hands to explore biological tissues with different shapes and functions and parts with a strong sense of technology.

"The attack method of this thing seems to be based on energy beam shooting, as well as rockets, howitzers and rapid-fire machine guns, taking into account the transformation skills to enhance the power of close-range fighting. Such complex functions, concentrated in a puppet, really powerful …”

"You can see that?"

Daimaru, whose thoughts were interrupted by Kankuro's words, asked in surprise.

The little brother-in-law with a confident smile pulled a smug arc from the corner of his mouth:

"I don't know how to make puppets, but if you use them a lot, you can barely see the way! If you can promote this technology among the puppet masters in the village, it should increase the attack power of the existing puppets by a lot. , even if it's just a large-scale genin concentrated together, the lethality is amazing under the cover shooting..."

"It's a good idea, but..."

Daimaru smiled and shook his head.

"It's too idealistic and has little practical value!"

"how come?"

Finally got inspiration, and put forward a suggestion other than puppet tactics, but Daimaru denied it without hesitation, Kankuro pouted a little unwillingly,

"I don't think it's a big problem!"

"The young master of the fourth generation of the family has not experienced the test of poverty very much, so I take it for granted..."

Daimaru sneered,

"A few high-end puppets can be equipped with firepower models. This link is needed in some key tactics. But once the equipment has risen to the level of the ninja army, for the village, the key factors to consider are efficiency and cost performance!"

"You mean... money?"

The frowning Kankuro asked hesitantly,

"A more powerful puppet, isn't it a good thing?"

"The manufacture and maintenance of the puppets are quite an astonishing cost! I won't mention it if it's too troublesome, just talk about the ballista, detonating charms and other consumables. In theory, as long as there are enough detonating charms and siege crossbows, We sand ninja can dominate the entire ninja world, but the fact is that we can't do it..."

Daimaru shook his head,

"It's like the puppet of the three generations of Fengying in your hand. I won't say what kind of price you paid. Even if you can control it freely and give full play to its power, no one can do it. There are also wing armors. , I can still build a more powerful and powerful model, but in the whole village, almost no one can use it except me, this is the reality..."

"The puppet is the key, and the puppet master is also very important, does that mean?"

Daimaru shrugged exaggeratedly:

"In addition to the existing standard models, every time a special model is customized, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to train a suitable manipulator. Just like we will not send ninjas to complete low-level tasks, high-level ninjas are customized on demand, and the puppets are installed. Be sure to choose a type that is suitable for manipulation and cost-effective!"

In the past life of Daimaru, I don't know how many amazing black technology weapons have appeared in history, but there are not many that are really practical and can be popularized on a large scale.

Kankuro, who seemed to be persuaded by Daimaru, understood a little:

"So your air combat troops, the puppets and wing armors in active duty are both used and upgraded at the same time, and only tailor-made for a few cadres?"

Daimaru patted Kankuro's shoulder and replied:

"This is also an inevitable trend! Don't look at the value of the puppets now. In the near future, the value of the puppet master will far exceed the puppet itself! Even if the fighting power of the puppet master is very dependent on external forces, but the puppet is a tool after all, the puppet master. It is the most precious treasure of the village.”

It will take a long time to reverse the tradition that puppets are more valued than puppet masters.

After calling several assistants to sort out the dismantling records, Daimaru took some time to reassemble the Shura Road.

"The second generation developed the puppet technique, not to make Sand Ninja the slave of the puppet, but to become the master of the power, obsessed with the puppet tactics, and hone the killing technique. It's not impossible, but your own strength is the foundation. It's a ninja manipulating puppets, it would be ridiculous if there were no puppets to fight!"

"You are right!"

Kankuro sighed slightly,

"Not all ninjas can use puppet masters as a sideline like you, and can sharpen their combat effectiveness..."

"Always have a little dream!"

Daimaru put away the Asura Road, carefully wrapped the black stick with a silk cloth, and put it away.

"You now have three generations of Fengying puppets. With time, you will have no shortage of combat power. It's time to think about how to go in the future. It's too useless to play puppet tricks all your life!"

"It's been a long time, are you telling me this?"

Kankuro, who was a little unbalanced in his heart, said in a gruff voice.

"What do you think? If it weren't for my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have time to chat with you..."

Said Daimaru, after waving his hand, walked out of the laboratory and walked towards the monitoring room.

Although he is not the chief examiner of this Chunin exam, he has provided a complete set of examination room maintenance and monitoring techniques.

After taking charge of the overall situation and instructing his subordinates to improve the details, Daimaru, who has not been in charge, has been worrying about how to defend against the possible attack of the "Xiao" organization. The five-tailed man Zhuli of Hidden Village was captured.

Chapter 0817 Default

Different from the monitors that examiner Longsha and Konoha Ninja Ibihi can visually see the screen, the whole monitoring system based on illusion and enchantment, the real background is actually a bunch of arm-thick cables and half-face holograms. A chakra sensing terminal in the shape of a mask.

Only a ninja with a keen sense and a master who is proficient in illusion can truly grasp the overall situation through it.

Seemingly aware of Daimaru's entry, Qian took off the mask on her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her scattered temples were tucked behind her auricles.

"How is it, is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay! The difficulty suddenly increased in the end, scaring a lot of people!"

Still with that innocent smile, the female ninja who observed the changes in the entire "Desert of Demons" couldn't hide her tiredness, but her eyes were bright and her spirit was okay.
