Upgrading the Foolproof Plane

After asking that question, Ōnoki, without waiting for Kurotsuchi's reply, excitedly muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect the honey trap to work on that kid!!"

"I didn't expect that little guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to fall for this, haha."

"But let me tell you, since you've used your beauty to seduce him, you have to keep him..."

"If Iwagakure could really recruit such a son-in-law, it wouldn't be bad at all. After all, that kid's strength is undeniable... ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Kurotsuchi's face turned from dark to red, and he said shyly, "Grandpa, what are you saying? What honey trap? This was just a random gift from Shinki."

Ōnoki was even more stunned after hearing this. "Just casually?! (꒪⌓꒪)"

He had heard that this person, Shinki, was known as the "Pixiu of the Shinobi World," extremely fond of money!

This Steel Super Beast Imitating Drawing should be quite rare, worth at least a million or so, yet he just casually gave it to his granddaughter. Doesn't that just show how much he values her? (´∇ﾉ`*)ノ

Seeing the old man's increasingly strange expression, Kurotsuchi quickly raised his hand to stop him. "Grandpa, don't think like that, let's go try this 'Flying Chicken' first! (||๐_๐)"

"Okay, I'll go get the others right away!"

After watching his grandfather fly out the door, Kurotsuchi recalled his grandfather's words and couldn't help but smile.

So, does this mean Shinki has already met the parents?

And my parents even agreed! (◍˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍)

After a while.

Ōnoki, accompanied by Kurotsuchi and a group of high-ranking members of Iwagakure, appeared on a mountain peak outside Iwagakure.

The Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, floated in the air with his hands behind his back and said solemnly, "I've called everyone here today to test out the Konoha vehicle my granddaughter obtained—the 'Flying Chicken'."

These words immediately drew flattery from the higher-ups below.

"It's a 'Flying Chicken'! These are said to be extremely rare even within Konoha!"

"Kurotsuchi has truly done a great job!"

"I can't wait to try it!"

Amid the expectant gazes of the high-ranking officials, Ōnoki pulled out the blueprint that Kurotsuchi had just handed him.

Then, following the method described by the Shinki, he infused it with Chakra...

Actually, 'fake drawing' type Ninjutsu has a certain threshold for use, and requires special techniques to activate.

However, the one that Shinki gave to Kurotsuchi was simplified; it only required the injection of Chakra to activate, but many things were correspondingly cut out...

After the Chakra was poured into that special piece of paper, suddenly with a "boom!" a giant steel bird composed of black and white appeared on the mountaintop!

The other high-ranking officials who witnessed this scene from the mountaintop were filled with admiration.:(´◊ω◊`)

"As expected of something invented by the Shinki, it is truly exquisite!"

"Yeah, although I really dislike that kid's way of doing things, I have to admit his exceptional skill in Ninja Art!"

However, everyone was stunned when they saw the cockpit inside the aircraft...

"Oh, this..."

A senior executive asked, "How do we make this thing move? It's full of buttons and joysticks, so complicated..."

Ōnoki was also in a dilemma, so he looked at Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi was even less capable, so she came up with an idea. "Why don't we find the Shinki and have him teach us?" ❛‿˂̵✧

Ōnoki thought for a moment and then objected, saying, "Firstly, this involves the secrets of a village's Ninja Art; he wouldn't easily tell us."

"Secondly, it would be a huge Iwagakure face for Iwagakure to have so many high-ranking officials invite a child..."

Knowing that his grandfather wouldn't be willing to go through with this, Kurotsuchi suggested, "Then you all go first, and I'll communicate with Shinki in my personal capacity."

"It would be better if he taught us, but even if he didn't, people wouldn't look down on us from Iwagakure."

Ōnoki thought his granddaughter's suggestion was good, so he led a group of high-ranking officials into hiding...

A few minutes later, Kurotsuchi pulled Shinki to the top of the mountain.

Upon arriving here, Shinki immediately sensed an unusual Breath of Chakra surrounding him...

Then, he looked up at the fake airplane parked on the mountaintop and asked Kurotsuchi beside him, "Why did you call me here?"

Kurotsuchi raised his hand, pointed to the cockpit of the airplane, and said with a slightly resentful expression, "You gave me this thing, but you didn't tell me how to control it. T_T"

Shinki looked up at the aircraft cockpit filled with various parts and understood.

So these people don't know how to fly a plane, and they called me over to teach them in person, huh?

As for those who hide, are they too ashamed to admit it and thinking of secretly learning?

Thinking of this, Shinki pretended to ponder, "This skill isn't something you can learn overnight..."

"However, I have other options."

Kurotsuchi quickly asked, "What plan? Can you just implant driving knowledge into my brain?! (•̀⌄•́)"

Shinki stroked his chin. "That's possible, but I have an even simpler solution: directly modify the aircraft's operating system." ୧⍢⃝୨

Kurotsuchi hesitated and said, "That would be difficult."

Shinki didn't answer Kurotsuchi's question, but silently threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai on the ground.

The next moment, his body vanished from the spot!

Kurotsuchi:(‧_‧?)

Just as Kurotsuchi was wondering where Shinki had gone, Shinki reappeared, pulling Sai, who was wearing a crop top!

Shinki explained, "This is the artist behind the Steel Super Beast Imitating Drawing; he can directly modify the aircraft control panel."

Sai was painting a beautiful scene in Konoha when he was suddenly dragged to Iwagakure Shinki.

Before he could even ask, Shinki swiftly pulled a sheet of paper from his sketchbook, drew a strange-looking control panel on it, then handed the paper back to Sai, saying, "You still have the aircraft template I gave you before, right? Change the control panel to this style..."

Sai opened his mouth, as if to ask something, "I..."

Shinki raised his hand. "No need to ask, just do as I say, and you'll get your share of the rewards after it's done."

Another ten minutes or so later, an improved version of the Steel Super Beast Imitating Drawing appeared.

Shinki unleashed his Chakra and shouted, "Ninja Art: Steel Super Beast Imitating Drawing!"

Immediately afterwards, another airplane appeared on the mountaintop!

Shinki gestured to Kurotsuchi with his eyes to go and take a look.

Seeing Kurotsuchi looked puzzled, but she quickly walked onto the newly appeared plane. When she saw the control panel in the cabin, she was stunned.

(꒪⌓꒪)

"This... this..."

On the aircraft's control panel, six buttons were visible.

These are front, back, left, right, and up/down.

Shinki followed Sai in, and said to Sai with a Kurotsuchi look on his face, "How about that? Simple enough, right? ｡◕‿◕｡"

This kind of operation is even less difficult than the combos he used in his previous life playing King of Fighters; even a fool could do it.

Kurotsuchi, eager to try, asked, "Can I give it a shot now?"

Shinki nodded. "Okay, I'll sit in the back, just in case anything goes wrong."

A while later, a giant steel bird took off from the summit of a mountain outside Iwagakure!
