The world I hear is completely different from yours.

Uchiha Moying smiled and said, "Yes, I also hope that the Hokage can return as soon as possible."

To be honest, I hope the Hokage can come back soon, so that as long as Tianqing goes to ask for some missions, I can legitimately leave the base.

Wait, it suddenly dawned on me, why is this old fox talking so much today? "Is someone here looking for me?"

"Hahaha, Kohara, you're really clever. There's a blind girl named Hyuga looking for you outside, but the gatekeeper won't let her in. I wonder how she is now."

"Why didn't that damn old man say so sooner?" I glared at him fiercely, dropped the bucket, and ran quickly towards the door. "Fire Moon, wait for me! And those two guys at the door, I'll find a chance to beat them up again next time."

Uchiha Moying stared at Uchiha Haruno's retreating figure, his eyes shifting uncertainly: "Uchiha Haruno, facing pressure from both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans at the same time, are you really sure about this?"

Chapter 1: The First Step in the Industrialization of Puppets *Customized Products

The craftsmanship requirements for giant puppets are on a completely different scale from those for ordinary puppets.

It's not that simply scaling up a normal humanoid puppet proportionally will create a giant puppet. When the puppet's size doubles, its weight will increase eightfold, requiring a corresponding increase in the original driving force and material support.

The Gundam and other mobile suits that Tianqing wants to build are at least dozens of times larger than ordinary puppets. The requirements for the strength and power of the chakra power source and the materials used to build them are terrifyingly high. Even in the world of the original Gundam, it was only achieved with an extremely advanced metallurgical industry, which is something that cannot be achieved in the Naruto world for the time being.

Therefore, let's try a different approach. If the scientific methods don't work, let's use the mystical methods.

Tian Qing carefully integrated the Devil Fruit into the core of the giant golem, and then watched with satisfaction as the core began to beat like the heart of a living being. Black patterns flowed from the heart, extending along the golem's skeleton to its limbs. The materials piled up beside it seemed to be attracted by something, constantly being absorbed into the skeleton, melting and combining. Although the progress was still relatively slow, according to Tian Qing's estimation, as long as materials were continuously added, in a month, this giant golem, which Tian Qing named "Obelisk the Colossus," would stand on the earth for the first time.

The only drawback is that this method cannot be mass-produced, so Tianqing's plan to equip all of Konoha's ninja army with Zaku robots before the Second Shinobi World War officially failed.

However, this is nothing compared to what Tianqing had already prepared a set of standard military equipment specifically tailored for Konoha ninjas.

If you want to recommend a set of equipment to a particular profession, you must first ensure that the equipment is a necessity for that profession.

So what are the essentials for a ninja profession?

First of all, aside from a very small number of strong individuals, most ninjas are fragile, with attack power far exceeding their defense. In modern terms, they are infantrymen wielding rocket launchers.

In situations where the spear far outweighs the shield, ninjas can only dodge enemy ninjutsu attacks with high-speed movement. It's a battle of who can strike first and react quickly; it's either I kill him instantly or he kills me instantly. In this environment, even experienced Jonin can die from the ninjutsu of a novice Genin if they're not careful.

In response, Tianqing provided a defensive weapon: a mass-produced version of the snake-shaped sword she had made. Compared to Tianqing's own custom version, this weapon not only lacked long-range artillery capabilities, but even components such as bone rings were significantly downgraded. Its biggest selling point was its ability to transform into a shield that could block ninjutsu attacks. Blocking one ninjutsu attack from an enemy could be a matter of life and death for most ninjas at crucial moments.

The second weakness of ninjas is their inability to withstand genjutsu attacks. Genjutsu attacks are invisible and colorless. Once caught in a genjutsu, many ninjas can only quickly close their eyes and form hand seals, attempting to break the genjutsu by disrupting the flow of chakra in their minds. However, during this time of closing their eyes and forming hand seals, most ninjas do not have the opportunity to open their eyes again, which is enough time for the enemy to kill them several times over.

Therefore, Tianqing created a headdress that, when worn by ninjas, would create a chakra protective circle like a helmet, resisting the invasion of enemy genjutsu chakra. Although due to energy capacity limitations, it could only be used for a dozen minutes before needing to replenish chakra, for ninjas on the battlefield, a life-or-death battle was only a matter of minutes.

Furthermore, Tianqing has divided these two types of equipment into versions such as low-end, standard, high-end, and deluxe. The defense level and usage time of different versions are different, and of course, the prices also vary considerably.

Tian Qing was confident that when these equipment appeared on the market, they would definitely attract the attention of ninjas. The continuous stream of money would then further advance his puppet research plan, and the huge profits would also help the currently sluggish Konoha economy recover quickly.

However, before all that, Ameyoshi needs to establish the reputation of these puppet weapons. "Then it's decided, it's you. Hyuga clan, it's time to find you," Ameyoshi thought to herself.

Chapter Two: The Second Step in the Industrialization of Puppets *Advertisement

Although the war has ended, the grief it brought to people has not stopped.

In the period immediately following the end of the war, the ninja stationed at the front lines began to retreat back to their villages, bringing with them increasing news of their families. There was good news and bad news; some joyfully welcomed their surviving loved ones, while others were left only with the remains of their loved ones. The streets of Konoha were filled with the joyful smiles of survivors celebrating their return, while on the other side of the village, cemeteries and memorials were draped in white cloth, and stood people filled with grief and despair.

But at this moment, Tian Qing didn't care about their thoughts at all, and instead prepared to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After knocking on the door, Tian Qing entered the Hokage's office. "Hokage-sama, you wanted to see me?"

Tobirama Senju nodded, putting down the documents he could never finish reading: "Tenqing, I've already read the report submitted by the Anbu. You've done a great job lately, and the village plans to promote you to Jonin."

"Thank you so much, Hokage-sama." Tianqing lowered her head and wiped away her tears of joy. She had already guessed what was going on when she received the Hokage's notice to come to his office, so she had prepared herself beforehand. As soon as she squinted her eyes slightly, tears began to flow.

Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction, tears of joy streaming down his face as he shed tears of happiness at becoming a Jonin. It seemed that Tenharu was indeed a motivated child.

If being a student at the Ninja Academy and a Genin represent two distinct stages in a ninja's life, then progressing from Chunin to Jonin represents two different ranks. A person with ninja talent who enters the Ninja Academy will generally become a Genin, regardless of how long it takes. For 80% of ninjas, however, Chunin is the pinnacle of their career; only a few exceptional individuals can rise to the rank of Jonin.

It can be said that the number of Jonin directly reflects the strength of a village. In the original work, many Jonin did not perform well because their opponents were all near-Kage or even Kage-level experts. If they were facing a group of Chunin and Genin, it would probably be a case of bullying the weak.

The treatment of Jonin and Chunin is also vastly different. Besides the huge difference in income, the most crucial point is that Jonin are eligible to participate in village politics, possessing the power to participate in discussions and elections. For example, the village-wide Jonin vote of confidence is required when the Hokage takes office, while Chunin are completely ineligible to participate, which is a clear distinction.

Tian Qing raised her head: "Lord Hokage, as a Jonin, may I request a mission from you?"

"Oh? What mission?"

"Usually when an elder of a ninja clan is killed, the village will send a Jonin to pay their respects. I heard that Elder Hyuga Kusui of the Hyuga clan was killed on the battlefield, so I want to take on this mission."

Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes: "What do you want to do, Tenharu?"

“I have a Hyuga teammate who has gone blind, so I want to transplant another pair of Byakugan for her. The Hyuga clan has refused before, citing a lack of medical ninjas. Now that the troops at the front are returning one after another, a large number of medical ninjas have also returned, so I want to urge them to do so.”

Instead of directly answering whether he agreed or not, Tobirama Senju asked, "Why not just hand this matter over to the village to handle?"

Tensei knew very well that the people of Konoha were in turmoil at this time, and therefore Tobirama Senju needed Konoha to remain stable during this period. He wanted to postpone this matter, but Tensei couldn't wait any longer. The branch family members of the Hyuga clan had the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads, which would automatically destroy their Byakugan upon death. Therefore, only the Byakugan of the main family could be used for transplantation, and the only main family member who had died during this period was Hyuga Kusui. If they missed this opportunity, they didn't know when they would have another chance. Moreover, if they delayed too long, the Byakugan would lose its vitality and become unusable for transplantation. Therefore, Tensei didn't want to miss this opportunity under any circumstances.

"Lord Hokage, no matter what, as a member of the Konoha ninja, Kagetsu lost her eyes for the sake of Konoha. The Hyuga clan treated her this way. If the village doesn't stand up for her, it will discourage other ninja clans that are loyal to the village."

Tianqing made it very clear that Hyuga Kagetsu responded to the Hokage's call and established a friendship with the Uchiha, believing that both Hyuga and Uchiha were Konoha ninjas. But now the Hokage won't even give her a chance to transplant her ninja. Who will dare to follow his call in the future?

Tobirama Senju frowned: "Are you confident?"

"Yes, I will definitely seize this opportunity for Huoyue," Tian Qing said resolutely.

Although Kagetsu's stance leans slightly towards the village, she is ultimately from the main branch of the Hyuga clan. The clan head and elders are her relatives, and they naturally wouldn't truly bear to see her go blind. However, given the rivalry between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, and the pressure from their own clans, the Hyuga clan head and elders dared not agree to the transplant on their own. But now, as a Jonin, making a suggestion from her teammates' perspective would provide them with a reasonable justification. All Tianqing needs to do is deal with the troublemakers within the Hyuga clan who raise objections.

Of course, before that, Ameyoshi needs to visit Hinata Kagetsu's parents and further communicate with the main Hinata family.

Chapter Three: Acting

The residence of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan's private shrine was draped in white cloth, where a memorial service was being held for the remains of Elder Hyuga Kusui. As a highly respected elder of the Hyuga clan, according to clan custom, almost all members of the main family and most of the branch families were required to attend his memorial service to bid him farewell.

In addition, since Hyuga Kusui was a famous ninja of the Hyuga clan and had many interactions with other ninja clans in Konoha, almost all the ninja clans in Konoha sent people to offer their condolences.

The shrine, usually empty, was crowded with people. Fortunately, the head of the Hyuga clan had arranged for many people to maintain order, which ensured the ceremony proceeded smoothly.

Hyuga Kagetsu and several young members of the main branch of the clan knelt beside the mourning hall, where they were to keep vigil. Although Hyuga Kagetsu's association with the Uchiha clan had caused her to have many complaints from relatives and friends, how could kinship be weakened by such a small matter? Hyuga Kagetsu stared into her empty eye sockets, "looking" at Hyuga Kusui, her uncle, lying on the funeral bed. Recalling past memories, she couldn't help but shed tears.

At that moment, the ninja guarding the gate shouted loudly, "An envoy sent by the Hokage, Jonin Tensei, has come to offer condolences!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people around her, Tian Qing entered the mourning hall.

Upon seeing a young, somewhat outrageous girl enter the mourning hall, the surrounding ninjas couldn't help but start gossiping.

"Is that the messenger sent by the Hokage? Why is it a little girl? Is she really the Hokage's messenger?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe all the Jonin directly under the Hokage are on other missions, so they just sent someone randomly?"

"What's the story behind that Jonin's identity?"

"Was the war really that difficult before? How could a little girl become a Jonin? Does she really have that ability?"

Seeing the ninjas whispering among themselves, Hyuga Gen, the vice-head of the Hyuga clan who was in charge of the ceremony, stood up and said, "Please be quiet!!" Looking at the now quiet mourning hall, Hyuga Gen nodded and turned to welcome Ameyoshi in.

"It is truly touching that the Hokage, despite his busy schedule, took the time to send someone to offer condolences."

"The nobles have sacrificed a great deal for Konoha, and it is their duty to mourn the fallen warriors."

Tianqing slowly and methodically replied to Hinata Mogen's words, proceeding with the ceremony according to the proper etiquette for paying respects. Looking at Hinata Mogen's expression of complete disbelief, Tianqing couldn't help but sigh, "Life is all about acting, isn't it?"

Just yesterday, taking advantage of her promotion to Jonin, Tianqing asked the Hokage for the task of attending the funeral. She then immediately visited Hyuga Mokugen, Hyuga Kagetsu's father. Tianqing expressed her wish, as Kagetsu's teammate, to donate Hyuga Kusui's eyes to him. Mokugen, however, hesitated, stating that given the animosity between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, Kagetsu's unauthorized friendship with Uchiha members was considered treason by the clan. Therefore, as the vice-clan head, he couldn't grant Kagetsu a transplant out of personal favoritism.

So Tianqing confidently declared that he would handle the public opinion pressure within the Hyuga clan himself, and that Hyuga Mogen only needed to preserve Hyuga Kusui's Byakugan to prevent it from losing its vitality. Hyuga Mogen thought it over and over, only saying that he would preserve the Byakugan for future needs, and remained silent on the rest.

"What a cunning old fox. He's been watching and waiting until things become clear. Even his own daughter going blind can't make him make up his mind?" Tianqing thought to herself. "But it doesn't matter. This is exactly what I want."

Chapter Four: The Long-Awaited Opportunity to Fight

Hinata Kazuki suddenly raised her head. She thought she had just heard Tensei's name? But she couldn't see anything in her empty eye sockets. Just as she was about to lower her head again, she heard a familiar voice.

Following behind Hyuga Mugen, Tianqing first lit an incense stick for Hyuga Kusui, who was lying on the funeral bed, and then walked over to Hyuga Kusui's family: "Please accept my condolences."

Then, seemingly unintentionally, Tianqing said, "These young people are all juniors of Elder Hyuga Kusui, right? They all seem to be very promising ninjas. If Elder Hyuga Kusui knew this in the afterlife, he would be very happy."

Hyuga Mogen still had an expression that said, "Of course, Elder Kusui has always been very fond of his juniors."

"Then Elder Kongshui must not be able to bear watching his descendants live in darkness their entire lives, right?"

Before Hyuga Gen could even answer, several Jonin from the branch family stood up: "This is a matter for the Hyuga clan; it's none of your business!"

Plan succeeded! Tian Qing smiled as she looked at the Jonin; the opportunity she needed had arrived!

The reason Tianqing was so actively planning this was twofold: firstly, to secure the opportunity for Huoyue to have her Byakugan transplanted, and secondly, to enhance her own reputation and showcase her strength.

Tenharu's promotion from Chunin to Jonin was largely due to his accumulated merits in the Anbu. However, Anbu missions are always clandestine, so to outsiders, Tenharu's contributions to his Jonin promotion were insufficient. Furthermore, when Tenharu carried out high-difficulty missions, he always acted under the name of the Anbu member "Hollow." Therefore, while the villagers knew of the strong Anbu member named "Hollow," they were still largely unaware of Tenharu's abilities, leading to much criticism of his Jonin qualifications.

And now the opportunity has arrived.

"Oh?" Tianqing looked at the few Jonin from the branch family. "Why can't I interfere? As Hyuga Kagetsu's teammate, why can't I apply for a transplant for her?"

The branch family Jonin blushed, but couldn't come up with a reason. He could only look to the vice-clan leader, Hyuga Mokugen, for help.

Hyuga Gen remained silent, his face showing a troubled expression, seemingly torn between the Hokage's orders and the pleas of his clansmen.

Finally, a middle-aged Jonin from the branch family spoke up: "I am the Jonin Hyuga Yamahashi. As the disciple of Elder Kusui, I must protect my master's remains. If you want to touch my master's remains, you'll have to get past me first!"

"That's right!" "That's right!" The other branch family Jonin also shouted, "We will guard the elder's body!"

“Then let’s follow the rules of ninjas.” Tian Qing stretched his shoulders. “Vice Clan Chief Muyuan, may I borrow your training ground? I heard that these Jonin are battlefield ninjas who have returned from the front lines. I’d like to spar with them as well.”

"This is bad," the Akimichi clan envoy sighed inwardly. "The Jonin Hyuga Yamahashi was a master who killed several Jonin during the war against the Land of Sand. It is said that he is about to be promoted to an elite Jonin. This little girl named Tenharu is probably going to suffer."

“That’s right,” the Yamanaka clan’s envoy also said with a regretful expression. “Tenka was too impulsive. She’s now an envoy representing the Hokage. She’ll probably be punished by the Hokage when she gets back.”

The Nara clan envoy remained silent. He vaguely sensed Ameyo's confidence. Perhaps this little girl had some special tactics, but against the Hyuga's Byakugan, tactics weren't very effective. Maybe when he returned, he should suggest to the Hokage not to promote Jonin who didn't have enough strength.

PS: Still asking for votes

Chapter Five: One Punch

The training ground was packed with people, and even the shrine, which had been unusually crowded just moments before, seemed much emptier now.

Hyuga Yamahashi assumed the starting stance of Hyuga Gentle Fist: "Jonin Hyuga Yamahashi, skilled in the Hyuga clan's ancestral palm techniques, please!"

Unfortunately, this low-level scam was meaningless to Tianqing, who was the listener.

"He's lying!" The headband of the Hyuga Mountain Pillar bluntly exposed him: "Actually, his specialty is stabbing people with kunai. People around him say that he stabs people like they're garbage, and he doesn't treat people like human beings at all."

Azumi stared at Hyuga Yamahashi with a half-smile. "You, who's been on the battlefield, are telling me you like to fight people with your bare hands? Small-scale battles are one thing, but you're a survivor of international wars!"

Hinata Yamahashi felt a little embarrassed by Ameharu's stare and realized that using trickery on such a young girl was indeed inappropriate, so he awkwardly added, "Actually, I also have some experience with assassination techniques."

"You think you don't need to use your full strength to deal with me?" Tianqing tilted her head and activated Sage Mode! Pure Sage Chakra surged up, and an invisible aura erupted from Tianqing's body, stirring up a gentle breeze around her. "If you don't go all out now, it might be too late later, you know?"

"This is!" The mountain pillar of Hyuga widened his Byakugan. In his vision, a large amount of chakra suddenly flowed through the previously unremarkable chakra meridians of Tensei, and the chakra light was unusually bright, probably with extraordinary power!
