Chapter 72 Explosive Tags + Kunai

Once you've established a cultivation strategy centered on longevity, it becomes much clearer to examine your own power system.

The Phoenix Genealogy is a technique for storing chakra. If you add the part about absorbing sage techniques later, then it will undoubtedly be a method to become an immortal.

Therefore, the Phoenix Genealogy Chart is listed as the first priority, the fundamental law, and needs to be maintained 24 hours a day.

Secondly, storing true qi is the first essential principle of cultivating immortality. Therefore, while skills and power systems that require a large amount of chakra should not be abandoned, it is best to avoid using them if possible.

In other words, conserve your physical strength and chakra as much as possible, and be a ninja like Kizaru who takes it easy whenever possible.

"You really want me to just slack off?" Ning Yuan chuckled. This ninja is clearly very strong, yet he's excessively lazy?

Sounds pretty good!

His more energy-intensive skills include:

[Ninjutsu: All-rounder of the Five Elements]

[Illusion Magic: Manipulation of the Five Senses]

Medical Ninjutsu

Sealing Technique

There are also future techniques like Hyuga Gentle Fist, Empty Palm, and Rotation.

In a sense.

Skills that consume relatively little internal energy include:

[Precise Object Control].

Actually, it refers to skills like spearmanship, swordsmanship, and knife skills within this skill system.

After all, even without chakra, one can still kill someone with a knife.

However, if you want to fight against ninjas, it's best to use some chakra and change pure taijutsu into ninjutsu-taijutsu.

Huh?

Ning Yuan suddenly realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi had done him a huge favor!

He learned medical ninjutsu not to become a doctor who saves lives, but to get closer to Tsunade and at the same time save his mother-in-law.

He had achieved his first goal, and he also had a plan to save his mother-in-law. It could be said that he had achieved his purpose in studying medicine.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to abandon his medical skills and replace them with swordsmanship, which was a skill that didn't require much chakra!

This is killing two birds with one stone; it's like having a pillow delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, what a good person!

However, even ninjutsu still requires chakra, and if possible, Ning Yuan really didn't want to use it at all.

After all, you don't know how much chakra is needed to become an immortal. Aren't there countless examples of people who are stuck at a certain realm because they don't have enough chakra and run out of it at an old age?

If we're really just a tiny bit short when the time comes, won't we be devastated?

But how can you fight a ninja if you don't want to use any chakra?

He will eventually have to go to the battlefield!

So here's the question: Does a way exist in this world that can kill a Jonin, or even an elite Jonin, without consuming chakra?

Really!

Explosive tags, kunai!

High-quality explosive tags are enough to kill a Jonin, and even higher-ranking ninjas can be killed with a larger number of explosive tags.

It's important to know that the Exploding Blade Spray is one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, and the Mutual Exploding Tags Technique is an S-rank secret technique that can even blast apart Susanoo.

If Konan hadn't been bad at math and hadn't lacked information, even the mastermind behind it all, Obito, would have been blown up.

As for kunai, ninjas are not pirates, and their defense is not strong. A single kunai can kill 99% of ninjas.

The remaining 1% consists of Uchiha who practiced the Earth Spear Technique like Kakuzu, or those who piloted Gundams.

Some ninjas even developed explosive tag kunai, which involved attaching explosive tags to the back of the kunai and then throwing it in front of the enemy.

There's a scene like this in one of Madara's famous moments: a ninja throws an explosive tag kunai, but Madara tears the tag off and sticks it on another ninja.

However, Ning Yuan thought this method was actually very crude and wasteful, since the bitter pill was worth quite a bit of money.

You might as well use a stone instead, and add a sling; it will definitely throw farther than a kunai, and at a lower cost.

As for the best way to combine explosive tags and kunai.

If, I mean if.

Fold the explosive tag to the size of a thumb and stuff it into a copper cylinder. Shrink the kunai to the size of a finger, change its shape to a triangular pyramid, and change its material to copper. Then place it on the copper cylinder.

If the detonation tag is detonated, won't Kuno be pushed out by the huge explosive force?

If this improved version of the kunai explosive tag were then inserted into a threaded steel pipe...

Could a brand new weapon be created that requires little training or skill, and that an ordinary person could use to kill a ninja?

This is important because each of the major ninja villages took decades to build, and the training cycle for a ninja is even longer, often taking up to ten years.

If you want to quickly assemble a team to fight against the ninja village, a weapon that ordinary people can use with a little training is absolutely indispensable.

Well, since this weapon is used to launch kunai detonators, let's just call it: Kunai Launcher!

As for the cylindrical metal object that combines the kunai and the explosive tag, let's call it: Explosive Tag Kunai Bullet!

In short: gun, bullet!

Is there any future in inventing guns in the ninja world?

The answer is, yes!

Since the ninja village does not engage in production, it naturally has no industrial base, nor does it have the population and resources to develop industry.

Therefore, after the invention of firearms, the biggest beneficiaries in the early stages were inevitably the daimyo, and only the daimyo of various countries had the territory, population and resources to produce firearms.

Once the daimyo all have firearms, what use will I have for ninjas?

That's when we'll witness a famous scene: ninjas battling AK47s.

However, as long as the ninjas aren't foolish and don't engage in positional warfare with the daimyo, the ninjas are guaranteed to win.

After all, a single illusion technique can easily control a country, or even an army leader. You can't do anything about a ninja's earth-escape technique even if you have a gun, and ninjas also have the clone technique.

The Clone Technique is not a Shadow Clone Technique and consumes almost no chakra.

This technique is useless against ninjas because ninjas are mostly engaged in close combat, making it easy for them to spot the weaknesses of the clone technique.

However, if ordinary people use firearms, then the war becomes a long-range battle. Ordinary people have a hard time distinguishing between the real body and the clone. Ninjas can easily use clones to deplete the ammunition of ordinary people, while ordinary people are powerless to retaliate.

Furthermore, given the governing abilities of the five great ninja nations' daimyo, they simply couldn't train an army that would obey orders without question and fight to the death. When faced with an unscientific opponent like ninjas, they would be lucky if they didn't collapse outright.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the daimyo's army may gain a slight advantage by taking advantage of the surprise attack, but the ninjas will quickly react and find ways to counter them with firearms.

Ultimately, the daimyo's army will collapse, the daimyo may be eliminated, and the country may be taken over by ninjas.

Then, the technology of firearms may be sealed away, or it may be absorbed by ninja villages and transformed into chakra-based weapons, which will eventually be used in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Once this idea is opened up, all sorts of new weapons will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

As for the final result, even Ning Yuan, who was overclocking his brain, couldn't figure it out, because there were too many possibilities.

"Firearms can be produced, but they must be controlled by the Ning Organization. They shouldn't be produced now, but rather at a crucial moment, and the moment of their birth will be the moment they dominate the world!" Ning Yuan quickly came up with a way to mass-produce firearms without being discovered.

We can simply build a large number of water pipe factories and machine processing plants. When needed, we can quickly mass-produce firearms using modified production lines.

We can also set up a gas cylinder factory, a fan factory, a tractor factory, a shipyard, and the previously planned printing factory.

They can be transformed into military factories in a very short time, whenever needed.

The ninja world has a tradition of using ninjas to fight battles that has lasted for thousands of years. They are already used to it and would never imagine that these factories have military uses!

As for the previously mentioned ninja's overwhelming advantage over ordinary people?

Can't I just form a full ninja army?

It's not necessary for each of these people to be an elite. As long as they have chakra, can break genjutsu, can hold their own against ninjas, and have time to pull the trigger, that's enough.
