Assassination and Modification
Unaware that someone was eyeing his head, Vegapunk was currently dealing with a group of assassins and killers.
"Seriously, we're only a few hundred kilometers away from Konoha, and we still run into ninjas from Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Is Konohagakure's deterrent power really that low now?"
With a helpless expression, Vegapunk removed his hand from the head of a ninja wearing Konoha Headband, shook his head, and looked speechless.
"That's normal! That's the nature of ninjas. It's much easier to use them for destruction than for protection! Konohagakure can't protect its surroundings, and other ninja villages are pretty much the same."
Mei Terumi stood to the side, speaking calmly, her terrifying ferocity barely concealed by the fact that she had just effortlessly melted away the three ninjas.
"But has Your Excellency confirmed that it was the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure who did this? The Konohagakure didn't get involved?"
"Of course, don't worry. My Brainwave reading and Chakra are completely different systems. Those seals in their brains have no effect on me."
Any ninja sent out by a village to do dirty work will definitely have various kinds of seals in their minds, and may even have undergone rigorous brainwashing to ensure that no one can read information from their mouths or minds.
However, those seals only apply to the Chakra system. Vegapunk can directly use the massive computing power of the Quantum Chip to deduce the opponent's Brainwave signals and convert them into tangible information, achieving something akin to mind reading and memory access. He can completely ignore the existence of those seals.
After all, no matter how well it's sealed, it's impossible to completely seal away Brainwave. If the seal were to be completely removed, then it wouldn't be a suicide soldier, but a dead person!
The forces sent by the Iwagakure and Kumogakure were actually quite strong: two Jonin, four Special Jonin, and more than a dozen elite Chunin. With sufficient intelligence, they could even have a slight chance of successfully assassinating the Kage of a village.
It's important to understand that Jonin normal circumstances, a ninja village wouldn't have more than a hundred Jonin. And those who reach the Jonin position and are still willing to immerse themselves in the darkness and do dirty work for the village are even fewer. A large ninja village might not be able to find more than a few.
Konoha is known as the largest ninja village in the Ninja World, and the number of Jonin five fingers. Other ninja villages are no exception.
It's clear that the Kumogakure and Iwagakure are indeed wary of Vegapunk. Coincidentally, Vegapunk has been invited to Konoha this time, and if he is killed en route, Konoha will naturally be the most likely suspect.
Even if other ninja villages have doubts, the first target of the war will probably still be Konohagakure, which has always been considered the strongest. It can be said that the two major ninja villages are using a completely open and aboveboard strategy this time.
Unfortunately, the two great ninja villages were completely unaware of Vegapunk's true strength. Although they knew that Vegapunk had powerful protectors around him, they always thought that Vegapunk himself had little fighting ability, which is why they thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of him.
However, before the ninjas even got close to the carriage, they were detected by Vegapunk and Hancock's Observation Haki. Hancock then ordered the coachman (Obito Uchiha) and the maid (Mei Terumi) to deal with them.
However, Vegapunk felt that it would be too wasteful to resolve the situation directly. Therefore, following Obito's instructions, the vast majority of Iwagakure and Kumogakure survived, only to be turned into idiots by Vegapunk's Electronic Pulse.
As for what kind of Bio-Weapons or experimental subjects these guys will be transformed into by Vegapunk, that remains to be seen.
"I'll go to the Laboratory in the Amenominaka Space and modify these people! Hmm, I think they'll be useful in Konohagakure."
Vegapunk gave an order to the group, instructing Hancock to open the portal to the Pocket Dimension. Hancock then took the experimental subjects and disappeared into the space.
With Vegapunk gone, only Obito Uchiha and Mei Terumi remained, standing next to Hancock. Hancock didn't even glance at them before heading straight to her carriage to rest.
Mei Terumi carefully boarded the carriage as well. When Vegapunk was around, Hancock could restrain herself a bit, but now that Vegapunk had gone to do his experiments, she was afraid she would be bullied terribly along the way.
"Seriously, why doesn't Konohagakure have Space Teleportation Array? They don't even have cars or trains; we still have to use horse-drawn carriages—such outdated things!" Mei Terumi complained inwardly.
As for Obito Uchiha just shrugged and went back to driving the carriage. Of course, Obito Uchiha had never actually learned how to drive a carriage; he had simply used a Genjutsu on the horses to make them run on their own.
"Hmm, is it time?"
Vegapunk glanced at his watch. According to the time displayed on the watch, Hancock and the others should be arriving at Konohagakure soon, right?
He glanced again at the ninjas he had modified. Due to the urgency of time, limited resources, and the fact that they were enemies, Vegapunk used a near-destructive method of modification.
After being modified by him, those ninjas had ashen faces, bulging muscles, and an appearance of immense strength. Their Chakra fluctuations were extremely strong, almost three or four times that of a normal Jonin.
At the same time, Vegapunk also installed Smart Combat Chip Chip their brains to control their Chakra, allowing them to perform their preferred Ninjutsu with almost no Hand Seals.
After this transformation, the strongest of these ninjas could almost fight against Kage-level Ninja, and the weakest were no less powerful than Jonin. However, this transformation was carried out by squeezing out life and destroying intelligence. According to Vegapunk's estimate, these ninjas not only exhausted their potential, but also had only a few years left to live.
"Forget it, why bother pursuing so much with disposable weapons? Besides, their strength is just right."
Vegapunk shook his head. After integrating most of the Ninjutsu knowledge from the Ninja World, Vegapunk could indeed make these disposable weapons even more perfect if he wanted to. Even using the bodies of two Jonin, it wouldn't be too difficult to create disposable assassins who could use the Eight Gates Formation.
However, for Vegapunk, that would be too time-consuming and laborious, and it would also be difficult to control the destructive power. What he needed was something suitable, not simply powerful.
"I wonder if Konohagakure will like the gift I gave them?"
Vegapunk chuckled. He didn't think his trip to Konoha under the guise of the Sea Country Alliance would go smoothly. In that case, it would be more interesting to let the Konoha Kumogakure and Iwagakure cause chaos first.
