Ninjutsu Development

"What's going on there? When did Sunagakure build such a tall tower?"

Having just returned to Sunagakure, a ninja with his face covered in paint looked up at the towering structure in the very center of the village, hundreds of meters high, and asked a question to the burly ninja wearing a mask beside him.

With the help of Ninjutsu, ninjas can build temporary structures quickly, but the quality is generally not very good. As for tall towers like this, almost no ninja can build them using Ninjutsu.

Building a tall tower using Earth Release in a short time is not a problem, but because there is no foundation, it will collapse as soon as the Chakra is exhausted.

Moreover, the Wind Country, as its name suggests, is a country where strong winds howl all year round. It is arguably the least friendly country to tall buildings. Not to mention towers hundreds of meters high, even buildings exceeding 20 meters are very rare.

"Speaking of which, I've only been away from the ninja village for about a month since I accepted the mission! What exactly happened? I heard that even the Kazekage has been replaced!"

"Sigh, this isn't good news. Let me tell you quietly, our previous Fourth Kazekage wasn't a good person..."

As the masked ninja recounted his story, the oil-painted ninja's expression shifted rapidly. He hadn't expected that so many major events had occurred in his ninja village in such a short time.

"So... Vegapunk erected such a huge tower here in our Sand Village? Did the elders agree to it? Oh... I forgot, the elders are gone."

"Even so, Vegapunk isn't from our Sunagakure, is he? Having him as an honorary advisor... is really a bit..."

"And that Fifth Kazekage, I bet she's just Vegapunk's puppet! As one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, are we just going to let this guy keep us in check?"

After the Sand Ninja finished speaking emotionally, she saw the veiled ninja opposite her with an indifferent expression. "You don't need to guess anymore. The Fifth Kazekage was originally Vegapunk's puppet. Almost everyone can see that!"

"And you actually accept her rule without any remorse! Do you have any pride left as ninjas of Sunagakure?"

"I know it's a bit shameful to do this, but there's no other way, Vegapunk gave me too much!"

The veiled ninja sighed and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually one of the more nostalgic ones among the Sand Ninja. Most Sand Ninja are now scrambling to become Dr. Vegapunk's lackeys! They'd practically fight tooth and nail for that one chance!"

"You... you are simply... are you still Sand Village ninjas? How dare you call yourselves the most resilient ninjas forged in the Desert winds?"

"Uh... that's true, but Dr. Vegapunk's inventions allow ordinary Sand Control Technique ninjas to obtain the Magnetic Release Kekkei Genkai, as well as a new type of Iron Puppet that is far more powerful than ordinary wooden puppets, and a small single-soldier Flying Vehicle specifically designed for Wind Release ninjas..."

"The resources and inventions the other side possesses are simply too amazing. If they were to let even a tiny bit slip through their fingers, most of the Sand Village ninja would worship them like gods... Hey, where are you going?"

The masked Sand Ninja reached out and grabbed the ninja whose face was covered in paint. He looked at the guy's hurried manner with some curiosity.

"Let me go! How are steel puppets made? Theoretically Chakra Threads conduct so slowly in steel that unless Chakra Iron is used, it's impossible to make Iron Puppet... I have to go see how that guy made his iron puppet!"

"Well, another one to get a head smashed!" Releasing his grip, the masked Sand Ninja burly man watched the Puppet Technique ninja disappear in a flash, shaking his head.

"These guys were so resolute in their words, but when they finally found out the truth, they were practically fighting tooth and nail to become guinea pigs?"

"Bai Sha, what are you still doing here?"

Just then, a burly Sand Ninja flew across the rooftop and, upon seeing the masked ninja, exclaimed in surprise, "Haven't you heard? Dr. Vegapunk has created a model of Wind Release Body Flicker Technique and is currently gathering Ninjutsu subjects!"

"Why aren't you going to register? What are you wasting your time here for?"

"What? Wind Release Body Flicker Technique?" The Sand Ninja, whose main training focused on Taijutsu, widened her eyes in surprise. "Wait for me, I'm going too!"

"We've finally got our chance! Before, we only saw those Wind Release ninjas, Puppet Master, and Sand Control Technique ninjas being arrogant. Now it's our turn, the Taijutsu ninjas, isn't it?!"

"Who dares to take this opportunity from me? I'll smash their head in!"

At the very center of the Sunagakure, Vegapunk sat in a high-backed chair, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the computer screen in front of him, twirling the pen in his hand.

Behind him, the current Fifth Kazekage Pakura, was like a dutiful little wife, gently massaging his head with her slender ten fingers.

A tiny amount of Scorch Release Chakra gathered at his jade-like fingertips, keeping the temperature of his fingers around 40 degrees Celsius, which was the most comfortable temperature for Vegapunk during the massage.

However, Vegapunk still frowned, looked at the computer for a while, then bit his pen and spoke with some distress.

"Yes, the fluid model of the Chakra pattern has been completed. Basically, as long as the formula is plugged in, all Chakra patterns should be able to be developed, and even some Kekkei Genkai Chakra can be plugged into this formula."

"In theory, most Chakra natures can develop unique Nintaijutsu Chakra patterns, although the effects may differ. However, without a higher-level Chakra as a sample, it's hard to say whether it will be effective against Kekkei Tōta or Kekkei Tōta..."

Pakura only half understood Vegapunk's research, but she was well aware of its groundbreaking nature.

Throughout history, apart from the development of Nintaijutsu based on Lightning Release, the other four Chakra natures, such as Water, Earth, Fire, and Wind, have had very low compatibility with the human body, so almost no one has developed any Nintaijutsu.

Vegapunk's ability to discover the inherent laws of Nintaijutsu within just a few days and easily develop Nintaijutsu the five major attributes, and even Kekkei Genkai, is truly astonishing.

Even Pakura herself, in the Training Pod specially made by Vegapunk to collect body data, successfully mastered the Scorch Release Body Flicker Technique and Magnetic Release Body Flicker Technique in just three days.

In comparison, Pakura felt that all her hard work in training was a joke in the face of Vegapunk's technology.
