They're promoting the "Konoha threat" theory, and spouting nonsense about the Hidden

Chapter 137 What defines the number one capitalist in the ninja world?

Ideally speaking, since the tailed beasts are themselves a collection of ominous energy, directly stuffing the Three-Tails or Six-Tails into this aerial fortress would be the most cost-effective way to utilize energy.

However, this cannot be viewed solely in terms of ideals. As the only two perfect Jinchuriki in the ninja world today, Yagura Karatachi and Shingetsu Hozuki can perfectly control the chakra of the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, but that does not mean that they are the masters of the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails at this moment, or that they can control them at will.

The necessary condition for becoming a perfect Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast is to be in sync with the Tailed Beast's mind and gain its recognition. In this case, once either you or Yagura Karatachi has such thoughts in your mind, both Tailed Beasts will be able to sense them.

The idea of ​​a perfect Jinchūriki thus became a joke.

Trading a strategic-level Kage-level expert who can move freely and has astonishing destructive power for the operation of the aerial fortress two years earlier is a deal Hozuki Shingetsu would never make.

"Only extreme negative emotions can be converted into chakra..."

Hozuki Shingetsu glanced through the Konoha materials about artificial tailed beasts in his hand and suddenly noticed a problem.

That is, the essence of Konoha's experiments was not to study a new way of storing and utilizing chakra energy. Their goal was to conduct research on artificial tailed beasts. This technology of converting negative emotions into chakra was just a byproduct!

It's just that because the Tailed Beasts are a collection of negative energy from the human world, Konoha started by converting negative energy and conducted experiments to create artificial Tailed Beasts.

However, Kirigakure only wants this technology of converting emotions into chakra, and has no interest in artificial tailed beasts. There's more to this story.

The underlying logic of these techniques for transferring chakra through emotions is definitely the same. So if negative energy can be used for transfer, then positive emotions can certainly be used to convert chakra as well.

If negative emotions are being collected on a large scale, regardless of who is collecting them, it's foreseeable that the process and methods involved are certainly not something that can be openly and honestly promoted.

It doesn't matter who the executor is; the key is that without experiencing pain and suffering, these negative emotions simply cannot be extracted.

Hozuki Shingetsu didn't care about the negative impact of distilling such negative emotions. After all, his so-called good reputation was nothing more than a pursuit of fame based on the premise of achieving his ambitions.

If I can achieve my ambitions and revenge, I don't care about losing a little fame.

The key is to extract negative emotions, but the cost-effectiveness of this approach is too low.

There are only so many ways to extract negative emotions, and with Kirigakure not yet unifying the continent, the available manpower is limited to just a few types.

Small-scale use is fine, but if chakra energy is used on a large scale, such as if the entire Hidden Mist Village uses this energy, it will inevitably lead to an energy deficit.

In addition, this method of energy conversion will inevitably have a huge impact on the atmosphere of a village.

Inevitably, intrigue, scheming, and other negative influences will erode the ninja spirit of Kirigakure, which is undoubtedly harmful to the normal development of a force.

Therefore, if possible, Hozuki Shingetsu still hopes that his forces have a little bit of humanity.

In comparison, if positive emotions could be converted into chakra, the scenarios, methods, and number of people to whom this technique could be applied would be greatly expanded.

Pain, resentment, regret, despair... these are negative emotions.

Happiness, excitement, hope, courage... these are all positive emotions.

Judging from the words mentioned above, it is natural to imagine the occasions and scenarios in which these emotions might occur.

If we can really develop a technology that converts positive emotions into chakra, then we can set up such a magic circle and apply this technology throughout the underground of Kirigakure.

At that time, Hozuki Shingetsu will implement a complete information blockade on the villagers at the bottom level, making them believe that Kirigakure is the best country in the world, that people outside Kirigakure are living in dire straits, and that imperialism's ambition to conquer us will never die.

At that time, a special area could be allocated within the village to vigorously develop various entertainment industries, encouraging villagers to go there for entertainment and ushering in an era of "entertainment to the death" in the ninja world ahead of schedule.

Of course, to ensure the ninjas' combat effectiveness and purity, they are strictly prohibited from entering such areas.

The villagers spent a lot of money, enjoyed entertainment, and vented their emotions, thus providing positive energy for the village.

This positive emotion is transformed into chakra energy through the transformation arrays that are spread throughout Kirigakure, and then flows through various underground pipes to be used in various factories, military facilities, and entertainment venues.

These places then employ villagers to work and produce... thus creating a perfect closed loop of self-production and self-consumption in terms of chakra energy storage and utilization.

"Yes, as expected of a new-era capitalist in the ninja world," Hozuki Shingetsu deeply admired his own set of procedures.

In contrast, the capitalists on Earth in his previous life were not even his brothers.

They go to great lengths to exploit workers, all in an effort to extend their working hours.

The extension of working hours hadn't lasted long before it caused widespread anger and resentment. All of this was a disgrace to capitalists.

But Hozuki Shingetsu is different. As long as this technology can be implemented, then these villagers can do whatever they want, whether they are at work or off work, whether they are working or slacking off, whether they are having fun or resting.

Even if he's hitting a ∠, applauding love, or stirring up trouble, he's still contributing to Hozuki Shingetsu and Kirigakure.

The main focus is on working for Hozuki Shingetsu from birth to death, from body to mind, from day to night, in a 360° all-round, no-dead-angle way.

These villagers didn't even feel the slightest pain, and amidst laughter and joy, they made their due contributions. This is the highest level of capitalists!

Even if the villagers knew the truth, they would probably still thank Hozuki Shingetsu!

Furthermore, if this technology is further applied to achieve the conversion of specific positive emotions into chakra in a targeted and categorized manner, Hozuki Shingetsu could even use this technology to determine whether a department, a clan, or even a ninja is truly loyal to him.

After all, emotions like loyalty and respect can be considered positive emotions.

Perhaps in the future, simply checking the chakra generation of each department every day will be enough to determine how loyal each department is to Hozuki Shingetsu.

What?

Your department's chakra generation today is only three units, far below the average of five units. Tell me, is this disrespectful to our great leader, Lord Hozuki Shingetsu?
