Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Aoba nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, never expecting that even the usually rigid Uncle Shinku would have such a high opinion of Minato.

As expected of Konoha's Little Sun, his affability is unmatched.

She's practically the succubus of the ninja world.

After lunch, Qingye teased Hong a few more times, and seeing Hong's angry and clawing appearance, he finally smiled contentedly and ran away.

He spent the afternoon cleaning the crow coop.

Crows are inherently intelligent, and with the added effect of magical chakra, the intelligence of the ninja crows is no less than that of a child.

But no matter how high your IQ is, you can't grow hands to clean bird droppings yourself.

So the bird droppings can only be cleaned periodically. This time I was away for a while, and there was a lot of bird droppings, which are almost fermented.

When the crows saw him return, they were exceptionally affectionate, cawing incessantly around him.

A peaceful and leisurely day has passed just like that.

After cleaning the crows' droppings and checking on the growth of the chicks, it was already completely dark.

Aoba took a bath to wash away the smell of bird droppings and lay back on her soft little bed.

It was late at night.

Aoba closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into the depths of her mind.

There, a pale blue virtual panel floats silently.

[One unknown encrypted electronic data packet (decryption progress: 30.2%)]

The progress bar is still moving slowly.

There was no other way; the chip's computing power was distributed among different entities. In addition to this unknown data packet, there were also the deductions of the [Puppet Technique] and Sealing Technique obtained from the building.

Aoba had little interest in creating a human puppet to modify himself.

But he was very curious about the knowledge of human body modification involved in the creation of human puppets.

Without flesh and blood, and even without a physical brain, how does the centipede maintain its consciousness?

If there is no full-body transformation, but only partial or even complete transformation, how feasible is it?

Konoha Hospital has records of nearly 10,000 ninjas who retired due to injuries or disabilities.

The vast majority of them had to give up their ninja career because they lost a hand or a foot.

Although being a ninja is dangerous, it's a quick way to make money. Not everyone has Aoba's earning power.

Especially after experiencing the ability of ninjas to make money, the contrast between then and going back to honestly working and earning a pittance is too great.

He has basically mastered the entire technology of human puppetry, and it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain some of the puppet prosthetics.

And this is definitely a highly profitable business.

Even if they can only recover 50% or even 30% of their original strength, it is still a lifeline that those ninjas who are unwilling to give up are willing to go to any lengths to grasp.

Not only can they make a fortune, but they can also gain a lot of goodwill and prestige.

He has the money and the materials, but it's complicated by the human experimentation involved.

The nerve connection of the prosthetic limb requires human testing and the voluntary cooperation of ninjas with chakra.

"Unfortunately, now is not the time."

Aoba rolled over, temporarily suppressing this tempting thought.

This technology is too sensitive.

On a smaller scale, this challenges the authority of traditional medical ninjutsu; on a larger scale, it involves human experimentation.

In Konoha, any project involving human experimentation will touch a nerve in the Dark Side and the Root.

Orochimaru, that mad scientist, is probably hiding in some basement right now conducting human experiments. Aoba doesn't want to be invited for tea by the Third Hokage or invited to the Root organization by Danzo because of this.

With his small arms and legs, he can't withstand such a big storm.

"Take care of yourself first."

Let's play it safe and focus on improving our strength first.

In this world, only those with strong fists have the right to talk about ideals and slacking off.

Aoba shifted his attention to the [Sand Control Secret Technique].

Through analysis of the original sand control technique, Qingye came to a conclusion.

The original sand control technique alone cannot achieve the level of Gaara in the anime.

Aoba guessed that a large part of it should be related to Shukaku. After all, Shukaku was sealed into Gaara's body not long after Gaara was born. As they grew up, their chakra was basically intertwined. So even after Gaara lost Shukaku, he could still skillfully control sand.

On the other hand, Gaara also inherited Rasa's Magnet Release, which allows him to combine metal and sand under special circumstances to enhance his offensive and defensive capabilities.

He himself was just an ordinary, unremarkable Konoha genin.

He has a little more chakra than his peers.

However, it still falls short compared to Gaara, who possesses some bloodline limits.

To achieve or even surpass Gaara's level of skill, one must work on "control precision" and "chakra utilization."

"System, adjust computing power allocation, pause the analysis of the human puppet technology and the decryption of unknown data packets, concentrate computing power, target—Sand Control Secret Technique 2.0."

The data stream on the virtual panel, whose progress bar was originally crawling slowly, quietly accelerated.

……

The next day at noon.

Aoba cleared out a large space in the room.

He pulled a dusty box from under the bed, which contained special ink and talisman paper that he had bought to practice the [Sealing Seal].

Aoba took out a special pen and ink, and lay down on the floor to draw.

One hour later.

The once clean wooden floor was now covered with densely packed black tadpole-shaped incantations.

This is the upgraded version 2.0.

It is the optimal solution obtained after millions of calculations by the chip, combining the sealing techniques he learned from Minato with the core logic of the sand control techniques of Sunagakure.

Qingye untied the huge gourd from his back and placed it in the center of the magic circle.

"call……"

He adjusted his breathing and began to form hand seals.

"seal up!"

With a low shout, the chakra within his body began to surge, and the black runes on the magic circle on the ground instantly lit up, emitting a faint blue light.

Immediately afterwards, the incantations seemed to come alive, climbing up the surface of the gourd like black snakes, quickly covering the entire gourd.

clack clack...

A faint crackling sound came from the surface of the gourd.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the originally dark red gourd.

Bang!

As chakra continued to be injected, the dark red gourd exploded completely.

A dark red stream of sand swirled and danced around the green leaves.

This time, the sand was no longer rigid particles, but seemed to be an extension of the green leaves' limbs.

Qingye raised her right hand, her five fingers spread wide.

The sand in the air instantly condensed, previously only able to become sand ropes for entanglement, but now it could transform into a giant sand hand.

Aoba's gaze swept over the few spare sand jars piled up in the corner of the room.

That was ordinary sand that he had stockpiled just in case.

As soon as he had a thought, the dark red sand grains rolled towards the sand jars.

The dark red sand, which had been specially treated, began to change color after being mixed with a large amount of ordinary sand.

The dark red faded, replaced by a heavy, earthy yellow.

All the sand tumbled and tangled in the air.

Finally, they slowly fell down, reformed into the giant gourd, and adhered to the back of the green leaf.

This time, however, the gourd was a simple, earthy yellow color, and its surface was covered with dark red sealing runes.

"It's done."

Aoba wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but smile.
