Chapter 192 Luosha: The Gray Stone, the Hidden Sand Village Must Obtain It
Chapter 192 Luosha: The Stone of Grayer, the Sand Village must get it! (4k)
Snowflakes kept falling from the sky, and the air had become very cold.
Although it was still late spring, the Snow Country was still covered with ice and snow.
After continuous expansion during this period, the Snow City is now divided into several areas.
The administrative area is responsible for handling various matters, the teaching area is responsible for cultivating fresh blood, and the scientific research area is responsible for research and development.
In addition, there are military areas for training and residential areas for living...
However, the places where Menma goes in and out the most are only the administrative area and the scientific research area.
The fourth floor of the administrative building within the administrative area is where Menma usually works.
He is also the first person in charge of the first research institute in the scientific research area.
At this moment.
Menma is standing next to a flying ninja tool with a serious expression, holding various tools in his hands to adjust the performance of the machine.
This is a new type of flying ninja tool obtained from the remnants of the air ninja.
If it can be mass-produced and equipped, it will bring great advantages in the war between countries.
The Snow Country, which has initially completed the accumulation of funds, technology and talents, has initially had the potential to compete with any of the five major countries.
However, it only has this potential.
Secret technique reserves, ninjutsu reserves, talent reserves, military reserves...
Although the overall military strength of the five major ninja villages has declined, the deep foundation of the five major ninja villages is still there.
Even if a person's power is extremely strong, it cannot change the entire era.
So in Menma's view.
If the Snow Country wants to suppress the big countries in military terms, the current fighting method must be changed.
Unlike other countries in the ninja world.
The military power of the Snow Country takes the path of chakra and science going hand in hand.
Now in the reform environment of "science and technology to revitalize the country" in the Snow Country, many civilian and military technologies are being transformed and invented.
Not only relying on the power of the ninja itself, but also making some high-end scientific ninja tools.
This is also the reason why Menma asked them to search for scientific research talents in the ninja world.
At present, the number of researchers recruited into the institute has reached dozens.
Although they are just ordinary people without power, they are top talents in their respective fields.
The role they can play when they gather together.
Once they appear in front of the ninja world, they will definitely surprise everyone.
At this moment.
"Menma, you really have a special liking for these toys."
Hearing this familiar arrogant voice, Menma also looked up at the door of the laboratory.
"Kumaha, are you back so early?"
"Just came back from the Land of Water."
Sitting on the machine, Jiu Maha curled his lips and said, "The bloodline limit of those two little ghosts is really interesting."
Not long ago, she recruited the "Xuanyuan Group".
And this time she went out to a barren island around the Land of Water.
A guy named "Miyashiro En" appeared there, and his subordinates Feng Xin and Qian No entered the sight of the Land of Snow.
Feng Xin's bloodline limit "Tai Dun" can create a powerful typhoon.
But what is more noteworthy is Qian No who has the "Blood Dragon Eye".
"After all, they are the survivors of the Blood Pond Clan."
Menma smiled as expected and said, "And the Blood Dragon Eye can be as famous as the Sharingan, so it must have something to be praised."
Although the "Blood Dragon Eye" is famous for its proficiency in illusion, it can also use blood as a medium to launch various ninjutsu, or create human bombs by inflicting wounds on the enemy.
This blood limit has a lot of room for development, which is why Menma asked Jiu Maha to make a trip.
"Anyway, under my constant persuasion, Yuya Shiro En and Xuanyuan Zhong have agreed to become non-staff members of the Red Moon."
Jiu Maha swung his legs and said lazily, "My mission has now been completed in excess, so don't think of asking me to run errands during this period."
"That's enough."
Menma didn't even raise his head, and said in a gentle tone, "Once homeless people have a sense of belonging, it will not be so easy to leave."
Jiu Maha nodded without comment, and then looked at the flying ninja tool again.
"Have you been sitting here doing these iron lumps all this time?"
As she said this, she stretched out her foot and kicked the flying ninja tool, making a loud thumping sound.
"Hiss! Be gentle!"
Menma's mouth twitched, and he reminded her with some heartache: "This thing is not as strong as you think!"
The hardness of this flying ninja tool is strong enough for ordinary people.
But for a powerful ninja like Jiu Maha, it can be easily destroyed with a punch or a kick.
"Tsk, I really don't understand why you care so much."
Jiu Maha touched his nose guiltily, and said unjustifiably: "This iron lump can only scare ordinary people. I can easily smash several of them with one punch."
Menma just smiled when he heard this, without objection or agreement.
Compared with ninjas and ninjutsu, these ninja tools are indeed a bit bulky.
But this is the current limitation of scientific ninja tools.
If they can continue to be improved, they will sooner or later reach the level of ninjas.
And...
"Don't underestimate it. I have developed different attack modes for different application scenarios."
With that said, Menma walked to the console nearby and activated the weapon system of the flying ninja tool.
"You have completely mastered the chakra mode, right? Do you want to help me test the power of the weapon?"
After entering the laboratory from Kumaha, Menma sensed her aura.
Then she knew that after this period of practice, she had become proficient in using chakra mode.
Click, click, click!
Seeing the muzzle of the ninja tool pointed at him, Jiumahe raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Okay, let me see what you have researched."
Her tone sounded confident, and she obviously didn't take the ninja seriously.
After all, how powerful can an iron lump that can be smashed with one punch be?
"Get ready, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, Menma pressed the red button on the control panel.
Buzz! !
Rich fire-attribute chakra quickly gathered at the muzzle.
Feeling the powerful chakra fluctuation, Jiu Maha stood in front of the cannon and couldn't help but froze.
"Huh? That's interesting."
next moment.
boom! !
The huge sound from the chakra cannon was accompanied by an extremely strong feeling of heat and burning.
Almost at the same time as the chakra cannon was fired, Jiu Maha suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and subconsciously condensed an orange-red chakra coat.
Immediately, a violent "bang" was heard.
The intense and blazing fire directly swallowed Jiumahe's figure.
At the moment when the explosive flames were released, a second explosion occurred, forming a field where electric snakes spread.
Wait until the fire and smoke gradually dissipate.
The air was already filled with the smell of burning, and the ground also had a layer of pitch-black burnt surface.
Jiu Maha opened his eyes slightly, looking at the tiny flashing electric flowers on his body, and was surprised to feel a numbness all over his body.
"The tailed beast coat didn't completely protect against this attack?"
First, use the fire attribute chakra cannon to break through the defense, and then use the thunder attribute chakra cannon to eject it unexpectedly.
If it were a ninja with ordinary strength, he would have been completely paralyzed by the lightning field and fell into a situation where he was at the mercy of others.
"How is it? The power is pretty good, right?"
Menma patted the cannon barrel and said with a smile: "This is the thunder fire bomb of the flying ninja tool. If it has no protection ability, it can win with one hit."
The most convenient thing about this ninja tool is that ordinary people can control it after training, and then exert destructive capabilities that ordinary ninjas cannot resist.
Of course, in addition to the unresolved energy problem, long-term power storage is also an unavoidable flaw.
Facing a highly mobile ninja like the Fourth Raikage, unless a large area of firepower is covered, the deterrent effect will be somewhat insufficient.
After all, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it doesn't mean much if it really can't hit the enemy.
"not bad."
Jiumama paused and asked, "Can this kind of weapon be mass-produced?"
"With the current technical level of the Snow Country, it is still impossible to achieve large-scale popularization."
It is necessary not only to integrate the two attributes of thunder and fire chakra into the energy system, but also to ensure the power of the ninja weapon system and the stability of the overall structure.
This is not that simple.
"Is that so?"
Jiu Maha blinked his eyes, turned his head and said intentionally or unintentionally: "When this toy is mass-produced, give me one to play with."
"...You really don't know anything about it."
Menma's eyes twitched and he complained: "I have only built a few of this new model of flying ninja."
However, who calls this guy his old buddy?
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Jiu Maha seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "The Kingdom of Snow is now on the right track. When do you plan to make the next step?"
"I must remind you that as Akatsuki's reputation grows, it has now attracted the attention of Iwagakure Village."
As he said that, Jiumahe still had a gloating expression on his face.
She is not interested in scientific research, and she is even less interested in politics.
She wished she could face the five great ninja villages head-on, and then have a hearty fight with the strongest person in the [real world].
"...Ohnoki?"
Hearing this, Menma's expression suddenly became strange: "Does that guy think of Akatsuki as a mercenary organization like Akatsuki?"
The underground black market has always been a gray area in the ninja world.
While the other four shadows still bothered to hire bounty hunters, the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki had already established a stable trading relationship with the underground black market.
That guy likes to hire bounty hunters from the underground black market, and then use the money to deal with things that are inconvenient for Iwagakure Village to deal with.
Even recruiting bounty ninjas to join the war.
Although hiring a foreign ninja as a Tsuchikage would somewhat damage the Tsuchikage's reputation and face.
But this method did effectively reduce the sacrifice rate of ninjas in Iwagakure Village.
However, not all bounty hunters can enter Ohnoki's field of vision.
So far, Akatsuki is the only one who has long-term cooperation with Ohnoki.
Akatsuki was able to enter Ohnoki's field of vision, which was indeed something Menma didn't expect.
Menma asked casually: "What is Ohnoki planning to do?"
"I heard that they discovered a very rare mineral vein in the Kingdom of Kawawa. I hope that the Akatsuki Organization and the Akatsuki Organization will cooperate with them to complete the mining."
Hearing this, the movement of Menma's hand suddenly froze.
"The Kingdom of Sichuan, a rare mineral vein?"
He touched his chin and said meaningfully: "It seems that Onoki's purpose is not simple."
The Kingdom of Sichuan is a small neutral country located between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.
It was a standard hilly area with nothing worth paying attention to.
But Onoki now calls upon the Akatsuki Organization and the Akatsuki Organization to cooperate in this mining mission.
So the "rare" degree of this mineral vein is really intriguing.
If nothing else happens.
That should be the "Grael Stone" he has been looking for.
Since Iwagakure was able to discover mineral veins, it was impossible for Konoha and Sunagakure, who were closer, not to discover them.
This mission will not only encounter the Akatsuki organization, but may also lead to head-on conflicts with three of the five major ninja villages.
But despite this, Menma is still determined to obtain the veins of Grayl's Stone.
"Call Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Shisui."
Menma put down the tools in his hands and said calmly: "I will go with you on this mission."
Hearing this, Jiu Maha couldn't help but be stunned.
After coming back to his senses, he showed an eager expression.
"Hopefully they'll keep me entertained!"
………………
Endless stretches of yellow sand lay on the ground.
Apart from the dry and monotonous color of the sand, there are basically no other bright colors visible.
Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure Village was built in such a harsh sand and dust environment.
At this moment, in the conference room of Fengying Building.
A dozen people, led by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, were sitting around the huge stone round table in the center.
Except for Rasa who is the Kazekage.
The people present were either respected old men from Sunagakure Village, ninjas from bloodstained or secret arts families, or elite jounin who served as management.
If a tailed beast jade flies over at this time, the entire Sunagakure Village can be declared disbanded.
But at this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn.
"...According to intelligence, a special rare mineral vein has appeared in the Kingdom of Sichuan."
Luo Sha looked at everyone and said with a solemn expression: "That seems to be a kind of ore with strong life energy. The ancient book we are searching for is called the Stone of Greer."
"Those are the remains of a huge empire more than a hundred years ago."
at this time.
"Sidai, we already knew this before we came here."
An impatient elder suddenly interrupted: "We want to know now whether that mineral vein can really improve the landscape of the Kingdom of Wind?"
The rest of the people in the conference room also nodded and looked at Luo Sha with eager eyes.
That is the precious ore that is said to be able to improve the desert landscape of the Kingdom of Wind!
What this means to Sunagakure Village can be understood by just thinking about it with your feet.
"...This news is indeed true."
Luo Sha was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "So, no matter how much we pay, we, Sunagakure Village, are bound to win the Greer Mine."
