Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 96 There is a loquat tree in the courtyard

"Okay, Beidao, tell me what's going on."

The Third Kazekage Tianshui Yulizhan sighed and spoke.

The reason is very simple. Others are here and are using magnetic escape to pay attention to the movements around them at all times.

You say that you know what happened at every point, that is impossible. But if he was here and a stray ninja invaded Mitsuha Takanashi, it would be an insult to him. Not to mention that he would not believe it, I guess Chiyo next to him would not believe it either.

"Haha, I knew I couldn't fool you, teacher."

Li Zhongren smiled slightly, and at the same time glanced at the Tianqi with a little disdain.

"In fact, Shou never came to my place. I don't even know him. And with you here, I believe he wouldn't dare to come here. I secretly recorded this video when you were watching videos with him in the workshop this morning."

"You're in the workshop too?"

"No, it's just that Ms. Ye Cang noticed that he was back and reminded me. I thought that he must have some purpose for coming back at this time, so I followed him all the way with a small puppet I designed, and then secretly filmed the scene just now."

"You are lying!!"

Tianqi, whose mind was in a mess, immediately looked at Li Zhongren after hearing this, as if he was a drowning man who had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Even if your mechanical puppetry is stronger than mine, you can't use a puppet in front of the teacher without being discovered. Are you insulting the teacher's intelligence, or are you questioning the perception of chakra by a Kage-level expert?"

"Papa~"

Hearing this, Li Zhongren raised his lips slightly and clapped his hands gently. Then, a video suddenly appeared on the wall not far away.
".Questioning the perception of chakra by a Kage-level expert?"

The image just repeated the scene after Tianqi's hysterical death. At this time, everyone noticed that there was an inconspicuous little thing in the corner. It looked like a spider, and the image was played from its eyes.

Of course, this is not important. Tianqi thought he could do better with this spider-shaped detection puppet. However, the problem was that he did not find the chakra line.
"How is this possible?"

Tianqi instinctively wanted to rush over, but the mechanical spider puppet seemed to have its own intelligence and actually shrank back and slipped into the gap between the furniture.
"Teacher, let me talk about the image first."

Looking at Tianshui Yu Lizhan who was also hesitant to speak, Li Zhongren spoke slowly, as if he was a bad boy holding a carrot in front of a donkey.

"In fact, I realized something was wrong with this image the first time I saw it. The reason is very simple. I know that my wife is dead, so it must be fake. If it is fake, there must be traces left, and the traces are here."

Li Zhongren controlled the puppet that was previously on the table and turned it upside down to the scene of Kakuzu and Ye Cang fighting.

"Look carefully. When the person recording the video turned his head, there was a split second of blur because he turned his head very quickly. It was this one hundredth of a second that caused the fake image to appear. It started from here, before and after."

“They are two different images.”

Tianshui Yulizhan narrowed his eyes slightly. As a puppet master, he reacted immediately after Li Zhongren only said one sentence.

"Yes, so like someone said, I can't do anything, and my mother can't fake it. I have never heard of anything more ridiculous than this. Please open your eyes and look at this world. Not to mention professional puppeteers, even an ordinary Genin like me can do it easily."

"you!!!"

"Tianqi, shut up!"

Chiyo glanced at her son. There was no doubt that her son had lost miserably in this round. The video was fake, but it was true that her son had collaborated with Luosha to assassinate his colleagues in the Sand Village. Moreover, more importantly, the wife of the assassin was dead.
But the good news was that years of experience told her that this man had not intentionally mentioned his dead wife to put pressure on the Third Kazekage since she entered the room. Even if he had mentioned it, he would have quickly changed the subject and would not dwell on it.

Obviously, he may not love his wife as deeply as she imagined. He may want to use this matter to exchange for enough benefits. This is a good thing. If the other party holds on to this matter, then in order to protect her son, she will probably have to completely break up with the Third Kazekage.
"Thank you, Mr. Bei Dao, for telling us the truth. This matter is my son's fault. Please believe that I will give you a sincere enough compensation."

"That's right, Bei Dao, if you have any requests, you can raise them. I also said that I will give you sufficient compensation."

"I think, Your Excellency Tianqi, I mean the former head of the intelligence district of the logistics town is a good position."

"you!!"

"Snapped!!"

Chiyo slapped her son in the face, then looked at Li Zhongren with a smile.

"The fact that Lord Beidao was able to successfully deceive Lord Fengying with that magical puppetry proves that you have a unique talent in intelligence. I think you are very suitable for this position. What do you think, Lord Fengying?"

"If Elder Chiyo has no objection, then I have no objection here."

"Wait a minute, I'm not finished yet."

Li Zhongren looked at the Tianqi with a smile.

"Although I have some talent, I am still a newcomer in the field of intelligence, so I hope to get the support of His Excellency Tianqi."

"Humph, you're just asking me to do it, and you're suppressing me at the same time."

Tianqi was disdainful in his heart. He had even thought about leading the people in the intelligence department to pretend to obey him but actually disobey him to let him know that many things cannot be done just as you wish.

"My wife, Ms. Shenyin, will assist me as the deputy director of the intelligence district."

"You're looking for death!!!" Tianqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out his kunai and rushed towards Li Zhongren, but he just felt a pain in his abdomen, and the whole person flew backwards, like an ink painting stuck to the wall, and his kunai had already fallen into Ye Cang's hand. With a sizzling sound, the kunai was actually vaporized by the burning escape.
"No problem, I agree to this."

Chiyo looked at Li Zhongren for a few seconds and then smiled slightly.

"Well, Lord Kazekage, if there is nothing else, I will be returning to the front with the Heavenly Banner. If I go incognito, I will be here early tomorrow morning."

"Well, I'll have to trouble Elder Chiyo with the matters on the front line."

"Okay, brat, tell me, what kind of puppetry is that?"

After watching Chiyo and Tianqi leave, Tianshui Yulizhan finally came up to Li Zhongren like a kitten who had been patient for a long time and did not steal any food.

"It's an improved model based on my teacher's mass-produced mechanical puppet design."

"My mass-produced mechanical puppet can be controlled without chakra lines? Does it have its own intelligence?"

"Teacher, I can't do that. I guess only Elder Chiyo's flesh and blood puppetry can make such a puppet one day. I just use the same technology as the communication headset to remotely control it, but the energy source has changed from using chakra to using... electricity."

"electricity?"

"Ah."

Li Zhongren hooked his finger, and the little puppet crawled out from the gap and climbed all the way to the table.

"With your wisdom, I believe you will understand it immediately."

"Let me see"

Tianshui Yu Lizhan's magnetic escape technique was activated immediately. The little puppet was first suspended in the air, and then it was disassembled directly as if controlled by an invisible hand, and each component was suspended in the air.
"I see. So that's how it is."

When he saw its internal structure, Tianshui Yulizhan finally understood that the core power of this puppet was the conversion between magnetism and electricity. As the owner of magnetic escape, he had seen this phenomenon a long time ago, but perhaps because his thinking was too rigid or because chakra was too useful, he had always ignored it.
"Teacher, you understand, right? Actually, my inspiration came from the phenomenon that occurred when you used Ninjutsu that day. Your magnetic force seemed to generate electric sparks, so I wondered if this process could be reversed? So I created this puppet."

"Moreover, its biggest advantage over your mass-produced puppets is that its power core starts up extremely quickly. It no longer needs a gearbox as an intermediate conversion device. It can directly adjust the power by adjusting the current. Whether it is used or maintained, it is more reliable."

"So, what are the downsides?"

"Of course there are. For example, you, the teacher, or those who have lightning chakra, can directly drive the puppet. But if you are an ordinary ninja, you must use the device that I have studied to store electrical energy. At present, I am still using the energy storage device in the village. Its storage capacity is OK for communication, but it is far from enough to be used as a combat puppet. I may have to study this slowly."

"That's true."

Hearing this, Tianshui Yu Lizhan nodded slightly. This was in line with the kid's usual personality. He would give you a good thing, but it must be incomplete. The differential that could make the puppet more flexible would make the puppet lose its power. This was especially true for the electric puppet that seemed to be a new era.

As a puppet master, how could he not know that this thing only looked advanced, but before solving the problem of the device for storing electrical energy, it was just a fancy thing, and the gap was too big compared to the traditional chakra-driven puppetry.
"but."

Glancing at Ye Cang standing beside him, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly. With this bond, this technology will belong to his Sand Village sooner or later.

"Okay, don't worry, take your time to study."

As he spoke, Tianshui Yu Lizhan sat down at the table and picked up a piece of paper on the table. This was what Li Zhongren was writing just now.

He thought it was a study on electric puppets, but it turned out to be an article.
“My Home in Oasis”

Tianshui Yu Lizhan read out the title of the article softly
“Oasis’s home was my earliest residence.”

"The house isn't big, but it has some history. One side of the roof leaks a little, but luckily it doesn't rain much in the oasis."

"But the wind would blow in, and every time I moved the desk, I couldn't find a place to hide from the wind."

“Very bland article”

Tianshui Yu Lizhan just kept reading. The text didn't seem to be anything special, but it seemed to have some magic that made him continue reading.

Until he read the last sentence.

"There is a coconut tree in the yard. It was planted by my wife when she was a child. I haven't been back to see it for a long time. Now, it has grown lush branches and leaves like an umbrella."

Just a plain sentence as always.

However, when he came to his senses, Tianshui Yu Lizhan couldn't help but feel a little sour in his eyes. Looking at Ye Cang, whose eyes were also red, he sighed.

As expected, when it comes to playing with bonds, their Sand Village is still no match for Konoha, but he also vaguely sensed something strange.

This seemingly plain but actually touching article is fake.

He, Mitsuha Takanashi, is only eleven and a half years old now. Of course, due to the existence of chakra, ninjas generally have both psychological and physiological precocity. According to the information in his hands, Mitsuha Takanashi is now almost the same age as an ordinary young man and cannot be measured by normal people.

But it is undeniable that fake is fake.

How touched Ye Cang is now, how much he will hate him when the truth is revealed in the future
"So, this brat is playing with something new that he has never seen before?"
