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

Chapter 196 Puppet? Fully Automated Robot! & A True Chakra Energy Revolution!

"A three billion interest-free loan?"

Upon hearing this number, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Aoyama exchanged bewildered glances, wondering when Kirigakure had become able to so easily produce so much money.

We were all originally among the bottom five ninja villages, but you quietly became a big dog?

After all, this 3 billion yen loan is almost equivalent to Kirigakure's entire annual military expenditure a few years ago. Even for Sunagakure now, it's equivalent to a third of next year's military expenditure. How could they not be moved?

However, although this amount of money seems like a lot, it can only be spent in Kirigakure to purchase specific goods and supplies.

As for how Kirigakure should price its goods, shouldn't it be explained to Sunagakure under Kirigakure's unified guidance?

So, in effect, this back-and-forth was equivalent to Kirigakure spending 3 billion to stimulate the village's economic development, and they didn't actually lose much.

Moreover, just as the envoy from Kirigakure said, although most of Sunagakure's territory is desert, sand is also an extremely important resource!

For Kirigakure, which wants to study computers and enter the information age, the sand of Sunagakure is indeed an extremely scarce resource, and the Kirigakure envoy was not lying about this.

Furthermore, as an island nation, the Land of Water does indeed lack various raw materials for production. Although the Land of Wind has a desolate geographical environment, it is well known that the more desolate the environment, the richer the underground rare minerals are, so the two can indeed be considered to have a kind of mutual exchange.

"Three billion yen... Hozuki Shingetsu is quite generous. Using puppetry as collateral for interest is fine, but what does Kirigakure want with this? Do you also want to develop puppetry?"

After exchanging glances for a while, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Aoyama finally reached an agreement to form an alliance with Kirigakure.

After all, judging from the current situation, Kirigakure has indeed come with great sincerity, and what they excel at is exactly what Sunagakure lacks.

Furthermore, this kind of alliance, which is separated by a continent and is an economic alliance, means that Sunagakure could break the contract at any time if things don't go well.

After all, Kirigakure couldn't possibly cross the continent to fight him, so this deal was definitely worthwhile.

However, they simply didn't know what Kirigakure wanted this puppetry technique for. Could it be that Kirigakure was also going to enter the puppetry field?

"Lord Crescent Moon said that this puppetry technique can be used not only in combat but also in people's livelihood. However, how to use it is a secret of our Hidden Mist Village, and I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Faced with this answer, Qingyan felt disappointed but also thought it was normal. After all, the other party must have had their own reasons for wanting this puppetry technique, and they certainly wouldn't let their side know.

However, he had only asked out of curiosity, and since he had already decided to give the other party some second-tier puppetry techniques, he didn't react much to the result.

Actually, this requirement regarding obtaining puppetry techniques from Sunagakure was added by Hozuki Shingetsu just before the envoy departed.

He originally looked down on Sunagakure's puppetry techniques, since Kirigakure had already developed its own fighting style, and integrating puppetry into Kirigakure's fighting system would take too long and be too inefficient.

However, a few days ago, when he thought of the Dragon Vein Chakra, the Wraith, the Box of Bliss, and then the Chakra Perpetual Motion Machine, he suddenly remembered something.

That's puppetry + chakra threads + chakra perpetual motion machine. What is that?

Isn't this just an industrial production robot?

If even the traitors of Sunagakure can use puppetry techniques combined with Dragon Vein chakra to create a large number of controllable puppets, why can't the Hidden Mist Village do the same?

These puppets would require training new ninjas from scratch for combat, making them extremely inefficient for Kirigakure. However, they would be completely different for production and daily life!

When the time comes, we can use the demon, the box of bliss, and the dragon vein chakra to make three super-large-scale chakra energy generators. Through some energy transmission lines and transfer towers similar to power grids, wouldn't we be able to achieve full automation of puppets within the Hidden Mist Village and even the Land of Water?

Even the model and style of the puppets do not have to be limited to traditional shapes. In terms of control, energy, and effects, cars, trains, drilling rigs, aircraft, etc., can all be categorized into the scope of puppetry!

What's even more ingenious is that these products for civilian use didn't initially require any advanced puppetry technology; they just needed to be bulky, simple, and crude.

Therefore, as long as Sunagakure provides some basic materials, Kirigakure can use them as a foundation to realize village-owned assets!

What is the Chakra Energy Revolution?

This is what we call a new generation of energy revolution!

Of course, the Sand Village was completely unaware of all this; they were even secretly mocking the Kirigakure Village for being foolish and having too much money to spend!

"Ha, we don't even know what the ninja world will be like in five years, yet they dare to lend us a loan of 3 billion..."

"If there's war in the ninja world, we won't have to pay it back! We've also found a stable source of goods over the past five years. The only price we paid was some worthless sand and second-rate puppet techniques... It couldn't be more profitable!"

Qingyan suppressed a laugh and casually signed his name on the alliance agreement.

Meanwhile, over a thousand kilometers southeast of Sunagakure, in a hilly area near the Land of Rivers, a group of ninjas wearing Konoha headbands were searching for something in the area, holding instruments.

"Hurry! Find that mine quickly! Although we disguised ourselves as Konoha ninjas by sea, being discovered by Sunagakure is still a problem!"

Qingtou, wearing a leaf-patterned headband and a green vest, kept urging his subordinates to act in a low voice.

Meanwhile, a large number of Kirigakure ninja disguised as Konoha ninja were using a mineral detector made by the Chakra Research Institute based on the remaining Grell Stones from the aerial fortress to explore the surrounding area.

Didi!

Just then, a sharp alarm sounded. Qing looked in that direction with delight. It was the alarm that the detector sounded when it made a discovery!

"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Early Fern!"

Upon seeing this, the Kaguya clan ninja who had made a discovery immediately unleashed his ultimate technique, the Corpse Bone Pulse, at the land.

In an instant, accompanied by the surge of chakra, countless bone spurs emerged from the ground within an area of ​​tens of meters.

Under the effect of the ultimate move of the Corpse Bone Pulse, along with the bone spikes emerging from the ground, there were also crystal-clear minerals that shimmered with dazzling blue light!

"It really is the Grell Stone!"

Qing strode forward, picked up the ore, examined it carefully, and a look of delight appeared on his face.

As Hozuki Shingetsu's confidant, he naturally knew how important the Grell Stone was to Kirigakure.

After confirming the location of the Grell Stone mine, Qing immediately summoned a ninja hawk and released it without any accompanying letter.

Moments later, an overwhelming shadow immediately enveloped the land.

Anker Bandian, the aerial fortress of the Sky Ninja Village that had disappeared for several years, has finally reappeared in the ninja world!
