"Launch!"

At the sound of the order, the ninja standing on the training ground raised what appeared to be a firearm made of some kind of wood and steel.

The caliber of the firearm is just enough to accommodate the kunai firing.

After the ninja pressed the trigger of the gun, a kunai burst out of the pitch-black barrel like electricity, and hit the target twenty meters away with great speed, and plunged deep into the stake, leaving only the ring at the end of the kunai exposed.

It is conceivable that if it is fired at the human body, it is likely to penetrate the flesh and blood of the human body.

And, after that, the ninja who was using the firearm, without the slightest hesitation, pressed the trigger a second time.

The interval was only instantaneous, and a second kunai was also fired from the barrel.

It also hit the stake with great precision, and the degree of rooting was the same as that of the first one.

The speed at which a gun fires a kunai is much faster than the speed at which a normal ninja fires a kunai.

In addition, the structure inside the firearm can attach the wind attribute chakra to the kunai, increasing the kunai's penetrating power.

Launching kunai twice in a row no longer requires a third time to verify.

This kind of repeat-fire kunai gun is the latest kunai gun restructured by the military of the Oni no Country.

In order to innovate the current tactics of the ninja world, and provide enough solid military protection for the country of ghosts.

The ninja put away the repeating kunai gun and walked to a man in a white coat on the sidelines.

The other party has a stubble on his chin, a flat head, and a monocle on his right eye, and he looks quite energetic and full of wisdom.

"Doctor, it's been tested."

The ninja bowed respectfully.

"I see it, thank you."

The man nodded, satisfied with the kunai gun in the ninja's hand.

The technology of the kunai gun was not owned by the country of ghosts at the beginning, but the forbearance of the country of the void.

This kind of ninja is not very technical, as long as you understand the structure and have enough materials, you can easily imitate it.

However, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Ghost Country, such a forbearance is undoubtedly a relatively outdated popular forbearance.

The reason is that the kunai gun in the era of the empty country has the weakness of slow reloading kunai, and the speed is not fast, and the penetration is insufficient.

It's not much more powerful than a normal ninja throwing kunai, but it's quite inflexible.

In order to change this small forbearance, it has undergone several improvements in the past few years.

First, the firing speed of the kunai gun was increased, and then in order to increase the penetration power of the kunai, the military secretly developed an internal device that could attach the wind attribute chakra without the need for a ninja.

In order to compress the space of this device inside the small kunai gun, it also went through a lot of troubles before it was finally completed.

Now, in general, the power of the kunai gun has been raised to the point where even ordinary ninjas are difficult to defend against.

Of course, the premise that ninjas are difficult to defend against is when the other party is not aware and is targeted. The dynamic vision of the ninja, as well as the speed of the instantaneous teleportation technique, can still be barely avoided. Unless it's a large-area covering blow that gives the ninjas nowhere to dodge.

The most important thing is that this firearm does not need a ninja to control, and any ordinary person can use this ninja to easily kill a fierce beast.

This is the most convenient place for this kind of forbearance.

There are too many powerful ninja tools in this world, but the conditions for using those ninja tools are very harsh, and some powerful ninja tools even require the user's life force as a price to use them.

In the man's opinion, such a thing is completely insufficient to achieve innovation.

But it's still a magical thing that only ninjas can play.

It is precisely because of this that this kind of practical forbearance, which can be popularized on a large scale, is precious.

Therefore, the technology of such forbearance equipment needs to be strictly kept secret, and the outflow of forbearance equipment must also be strictly restricted.

"Dr. Pianqi."

While the man was thinking about things, a call came from his ears.

The man looked up and saw a man walking towards him.

"Lord Shiraishi, why do you have time to come to me?"

The man was surprised, but nodded to Shiraishi as a sign of respect.

"I'll take a look at the situation here, how is it, doctor, how is the research of the kunwugun?"

Shiraishi asked with concern.

The man, that is, Dr. Pian Qi, pondered for a moment and said to Shiraishi: "In general, the things are almost the same, but the chakra attachment attribute device is still not perfect, and it occupies too much space inside the firearm. In addition, the sealing space for storing kunai also needs to be further expanded. Otherwise, every twenty kunai guns fired, they would need to be reloaded with kunai, which was too cumbersome. ”

The number of kunai used by a standard ninja in a battle is also around fifteen to twenty.

If you are a ninja who is proficient in ninja equipment, you can use more than 100 kunai and shuriken in battle, or even more.

Although the kunai gun developed by the military is huge, ordinary people can pick up this kind of ninja and use it at will, there is no threshold for use, and there is a probability of killing ninjas in battle.

If 10,000 soldiers are equipped with such forbearance equipment to carry out full-coverage strikes, it will be even more deterrent.

A single kunai may not be very strong, but if it is 10,000 kunai launched at the same time, if you don't use a strong defensive ninjutsu, even a ninja with a chakra eye will be difficult to dodge with dynamic vision and will be shot.

Because the coverage is too dense and too extensive.

But as he said, the kunai gun is not without defects, there is an upper limit of twenty for the number of kunai storage, and the chakra attachment attribute device needs to be further optimized to save space and optimize the rest of the parts inside the gun.

Although the current Kuwu gun has been able to be popularized on a large scale, the cost and technical strength mean that it is still not enough to be completely popularized, and only a small part of it can be popularized.

"In two years, can you make 10,000 Kunai guns?"

Shiraishi asked.

Dr. Pian Qi pushed the monocle on his right eye, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I guess it's a little difficult." Because of the current stage of the bitter gun, the cost is very high, not to mention the need for more budget, and it will also disrupt the research order of the rest of the departments. If you create 1,000 highest-level kunai guns, and then create 9,000 second-level kunai guns, it should be possible. ”

No matter how convenient it is to change the ninja tactics, in fact, it is still impossible to achieve any effective results at all.

You can only hit the enemy by surprise.

If the ninjas are on guard, the threat of kunai guns will be greatly reduced.

The reason why this ninja equipment was studied was not to provide it for the military's ninja troops, but to equip the military's ordinary soldiers with this kind of ninja equipment.

At present, there are more than 50,000 soldiers in the military of the Oni Country, and this is still without a large-scale expansion of troops.

However, even so, the ninja troops, among them, only accounted for about five or six thousand people.

The garrisons of the various towns in the country of Oni are composed of a mix of ninjas and ordinary soldiers.

In order to improve the strength of these ordinary soldiers and enhance the comprehensive strength of military soldiers, this is the original intention of developing Kuno Gun.

For the Oni no Kuni military, which advocates teamwork, although the prominence of individuals will be valued, the promotion of overall strength is equally important.

The team nature of a soldier is more precious than anything else.

A soldier without team spirit is like a flock of slaughtered lambs on the battlefield, with no deterrent effect.

If you want to really improve these low-level soldiers, you can only rely on a similar universal ninja like a kunai gun, rather than a ninja that requires conditions to be used.

That kind of forbearance can only be controlled by a good ninja.

"Is that so? Let's do it first, the faster the better. ”

"I understand that in the next two years, I'm going to try to do it."

Dr. Pian Qi nodded solemnly.

"I'm not as good as you in this research, so I don't command anything here, and if the budget is insufficient, you can go to the finance department for reimbursement."

"Of course I won't be polite if there is a need."

Dr. Pian Qi smiled slightly, much more relaxed.

The economic strength of the Oni Country is strong, which allows him to maximize his talents.

If he hadn't met Shiraishi, he would probably have lived a hopeless life in the ninja world.

Ninjas don't value his knowledge very much, and it's only natural that outsiders will be questioned and denied.

The aristocracy looked down on his commoner status, and even if he passed with a shy face, he would probably suffer from a roll of his eyes.

This is also the reason why he joined the country of ghosts.

Here he doesn't need to worry about money and materials, and he doesn't need to work around for his family's livelihood.

Occasionally, I would debate with other researchers and develop my own ideas.

The only thing I need to do is to make the most of my talents here.

"That's good. By the way, there's one thing, I'd like to ask you for a favor, Doctor. ”

Shiraishi said suddenly.

"Help? What is the matter, Lord Shiraishi? ”

Dr. Pian Qi was a little curious.

Although he is a scientific researcher like Shiraishi, he and Shiraishi are not good at the same field.

Shiraishi is good at medicine and life, while he is more good at civilian and military technology, such as the military's kunai gun and flying ninja equipment, including more new weapons that are still under development, are all supervised by him.

"It's the kid Asuka, I want that kid to study with you for a while, and he seems to be interested in your research."

"Master Asuka? He's interested in this? ”

Dr. Pianqi was slightly surprised.

Uchiha Asuka, he knows.

It's just that he didn't expect Shiraishi to mention letting Asuka follow him.

As far as he knew, Asuka's mother, Ruri Uchiha, was a powerful ninja.

It stands to reason that Asuka's future is already destined to become a ninja.

If he follows him, he won't be able to teach others ninjutsu.

"Well, this kid Asuka is more interested in things here than in ninjutsu. Moreover, his personality is not very suitable for development in the ninja realm. I'm going to let him develop here. ”

"Really? There is no problem, as long as Young Master Asuka can persevere, I will raise my hands to agree. ”

Dr. Pianqi nodded in agreement.

But it doesn't say that it will definitely make Asuka successful here.

In their line of work, success and failure are inevitable.

Even if he does, many times, he will fall into the predicament of failure.

Moreover, the accumulation of knowledge is also crucial, and it may be quite difficult for a small child.

However, Shiraishi asked for this, and it was inconvenient for him to refuse.

It's like recruiting an assistant.

If you do have talent, it's not too late to train it.

"Then please, Doctor. Then I won't bother you with your work, and please take care of the equipment development. ”

When Shiraishi saw Dr. Katachi agree, he turned and left.

Click.

With a soft sound, the white wall suddenly turned into a transparent color.

Normally, this wall is actually a transparent color, but after activating the mechanism, the lines on the wood appear, and they begin to circulate on the transparent wall.

That's the light of the chakra.

Even if an outsider sneaks in, there is no hidden entrance here.

Asuka looked at it all curiously.

This is the most important comprehensive research base in the underground of the First Military Region of the Oni Country.

The place where he is now coming in is the private space of the staff.

As if opening a revolving door, Asuka pushed open the transparent door with a shimmering chakra pattern and entered the room.

As soon as you enter the room, you can see a middle-aged man with a monocle on his face, sitting in front of a computer typing on the keyboard, the monocle reflecting the light on the screen, and working seriously.

What is presented on the computer screen is the design of some very large tool, which is a very valuable research material.

"Is it Master Asuka? Have a seat. ”

Katachi didn't expect Shiraishi to send Asuka over so quickly, but he didn't care about this, he just entertained Asuka in a normal state of mind.

"Hello, Dr. Pianqi."

Asuka bowed politely, and then sat down in a chair not far from Dr. Katachi, with a somewhat restrained expression on his face.

"Don't be so polite, I've already heard about you from Lord Shiraishi, and there's no problem studying behind me. However, doing our job will be very hard, and it will also be accompanied by the distress of failure...... Well, it's a bit out of place to talk to you about that now. In this way, there is a book here, and Master Asuka can take it back and read it. In a month's time, I'll do a test on Master Asuka. After testing, let's move on. ”

Dr. Pianqi got up from his chair, picked up a heavy book next to his computer, and placed it in front of Asuka.

Asuka took it and found that the book was very heavy, but for Asuka, it was not a struggle.

"I see, Dr. Pianqi."

Asuka knows that this is a test that Dr. Kataki has done to him, and he also cherishes the opportunity that his father Shiraishi has given him, and he must take advantage of it.

"Well, then that's it, I still have some things to deal with here, and Young Master Asuka can visit here at will. If you don't understand something, you can come to me on your weekly vacation days to ask for advice, and I will be free at that time. ”

Asuka didn't completely give up his identity as a ninja, and many times he still had to go to a ninja school to learn ninja skills.

Saturdays and weekends are Saturdays and Sundays.

At that time, it also happened to be his weekend, so there was enough time to answer Asuka's questions.

As for talent, it will take a while to observe, and it can't be too arbitrary.

Interest is just a stepping stone, but whether or not it can pry the door to scientific truth requires talent in this area and the accumulation of diligent study.

With that, Dr. Piano picked up a stack of printed drawings and hurried out of the room, leaving Asuka alone to visit his office.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

On the closed training ground, after the seal was sealed, Liuli quickly spewed out a huge fireball from his mouth and flew fiercely towards the wooden stake in the distance.

This is not the end of the day, the glazed writing wheel eye suddenly began to change, in the form of a basic magatama, began to extend, and became a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

A powerful pupil force was released from the eye of the Ten Thousand Flower Boy Writing Wheel in the left eye, acting on the fireball that was sprayed out.

In an instant, the fireball that flew out immediately expanded in a circle, scorching the space with a terrifying attitude, causing the surrounding air to heat up rapidly.

Then, Liuli's figure disappeared from the spot, and a hot and fierce lightning bolt stayed in place and swirled, and the main body appeared in front of the huge fireball that was about to hit the wooden stake.

Without the slightest hesitation, he held a dark red blade condensed from chakra in his palm.

That's the sword that only appears when Susa is in a state.

The product embodied with chakra.

This kind of sword is very difficult to cut through the powerful fireball technique that has been amplified by the pupil technique.

However, the left eye continued to release pupil power, focusing on the blade of the sword in his hand.

The surface of the dark red blade was immediately attached to a layer of azure brilliance, and it was unceremoniously slashed at the giant fireball.

The trajectory of the blade slashed, leaving traces of lightning rubbing against the atmosphere, chirping.

The giant fireball was cut through the middle and flew out on the sides of Ruri's body, only curling the corners of her clothes and hair, and Ruri stood there unharmed.

Liuli looked at the dark red blade in his hand, and the azure light on it had not yet dispersed.

The trajectory of the sword that slashed the fireball left straight traces of lightning abrasive atmosphere, as if it was about to block the space, and it did not disperse for a long time.

Just by looking at it from a distance, it makes people feel as if they are stinged by a sharp blade, and people can't help but close their eyes.

Its sharpness makes the space unobstructed in front of the blade.

In the face of the increased fireball technique, it can also be easily cut with a sword.

And this is only the shrunken Susa Nenghu sword, if you unfold the full posture, then, the increase of the pupil technique on the blade will be more obvious.

Ruri is extremely satisfied with her current state.

The Eight Thunder God Pupil Technique, for its own increase, is also beyond imagination.

In particular, the compatibility with Susa Nenghu can greatly increase the power of Susa Nenghu, and this alone is worthy of being an exclusive pupil technique after the kaleidoscope opens the eyes.

"Are you training in the Eight Thunder God Pupil Technique?"

Shiraishi walked in from the sidelines.

Seeing the whole process of Liuli's pupil technique just now, he knew that Liuli was testing the power of the Eight Thunder God Pupil Technique.

The Hitomi Eight Thunder God is not a direct attack type Hitomi technique, but acts in terms of amplification.

Comprehensively improve all aspects of Liuli's ability, especially the specialized attack, has achieved the extreme.

"Well, I just tested it, and then I need to try something else."

Ruri nodded.

"Although your kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is special and will not cause too serious negative effects on yourself, it is also important to take a break. If you use too much of the pupil technique, which requires a lot of chakra, it will also cause a huge load on the body. Here you go, after you finish cultivating, remember to use it. ”

Shiraishi pulled out a bottle less than the size of a palm from his pocket and threw it at Ruri.

Ruri took it and found that it was a bottle of eye drops.

However, it should not be an ordinary eye drop, this eye drop can reduce the load and pressure on the body caused by the writing wheel eye.

Liuli accepted it calmly, and casually put the bottle of special eye drops in the ninja bag for collection.

"By the way, what are you doing here? You can't just come and see my cultivation progress, right? You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. ”

"Of course not, it's because of the birds. I've sent him to Pianqi, and I'm here to inform you. ”

"That's right."

Hearing the news, Liuli couldn't help but show a sigh in her eyes.

Although in this world, you don't have to be a ninja to be the right path.

But as Asuka's mother, she sincerely hopes that Asuka can inherit her position and become the next patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

However, Asuka not only lacks this talent, but also does not have much enthusiasm for the profession of ninja.

He lacks the mindset to become a powerful ninja.

If you don't want to, then no matter how much you force it, it won't help. It is likely to backfire, and may even cause Asuka to think of rebellion.

"Don't be too disappointed, if Asuka really achieves something in this area, the future will be exactly complementary to Kazuhime. Isn't that a great thing? ”

Shiraishi said optimistically.

Ruri didn't say anything.

Although she doesn't like Shiraishi's kind of path, she has to admit that the so-called science can really do a lot of things.

That's also a powerful path.

But that's not the strength of the individual, but the strength of the collective.

But what Shiraishi said is also right, she still has a child.

No matter who Ichihime's surname is, she can't change it, she has the blood of the Uchiha clan in her body, and she has inherited the power of the Uchiha Sharingan.

"Speaking of which, how's Kazuhime? She's okay with her in Fog Hidden Village, right? ”

"No problem, she's doing well in the fog, and Yakura takes good care of her. In a few days, she will come back from the fog to take a vacation, and you can ask her yourself when the time comes. ”

"I always feel like time flies."

Before I knew it, I had been away from Konoha for ten years.

But Ruri felt that this seemed to be a fleeting thing.

If you think about it, all kinds of things have happened in the past ten years, but in general, it is relatively comfortable.

"It's really fast. However, after a while, this side will not be comfortable. ”

Shiraishi means something.

Ruri knew what Shiraishi was referring to.

"It seems that you have successfully solved it over there in the Nether Country."

"Well, a preliminary agreement has been reached with the Daimyo of the Land of Darkness. The rest of the expansion plan is left to be dealt with by the Land of Wind. ”

Shiraishi's mood fluctuated faintly.

As long as the part of the Wind Country is completed, then the rise of the Oni Country will be unstoppable.

Today, when the oppressive power of the five major powers is gradually weakening, there is no need to be too afraid of their existence.

What's more, Yakura is still his ally.

All he faced was the pressure of the four ninja villages, and Akatsuki.

So, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised:

"Next, let's hold a military meeting. Now it's time to formalize the exact timing of the attack on the Land of Winds. Presumably you and Ayane can't wait, can you? ”
