"You're welcome! You have helped me a lot! I just went to the blacksmith shop in this town and asked the uncle there to make some parts. Look! This is a new weapon made based on your suggestions!"
With that said, Tenten took out a strange device that looked like a combination of a crossbow and a large revolver, but the ammunition inside was filled with kunai and Explosive Tags.
After Rock Lee saw it, he immediately came over and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A weapon that can launch kunai plus Explosive Tags at once. How about trying it in the open space outside the town?" Tenten suggested eagerly.
"But Explosive Tags is very expensive! Is it really okay to waste it like this?"
As a poor child, Rock Lee had a painful expression on his face.
After all, the income of a genin is not high to begin with.
Especially D-Rank Mission, the lowest he can get is a few thousand taels, and the highest is no more than 50,000 taels. Moreover, the jounin who leads the team has to take part of it, and the rest is divided equally among the other members.
Although the overall price of Konoha Village is not high, you should have no problem eating enough.
But if you take into account the various consumable ninja tools, you can barely maintain your life at best.
Therefore, most genin cannot afford to buy thousands of taels of Explosive Tags at most, so they can only buy one or two as a trump card to keep the bottom of the box at critical moments.
But "tycoon" Tenten didn't care about the meager income of a genin. He laughed and responded directly, "Hahahaha! No problem! As long as you can become a powerful female ninja like Tsunade-sama, this little money is nothing."
After hearing such a heroic speech, it was natural that other people would not be able to persuade him.
Ever since, all Team Three members, including Might Guy, went out collectively and came to an open space about five kilometers away from the town.
Allen pointed to the hillside in the distance and said, "Just try to target there. But I think that with Explosive Tags here, the power will definitely be great."
"Yes! Counting kunai, I'm afraid I'll have to throw out fifty thousand taels at once." Might Guy sighed slightly.
In his eyes, instead of taking this "crooked path", it is better to learn from yourself Steel Fist.
But Tenten obviously didn't want to train himself to be like Diamond Barbie like Bisky, so he completely ignored the teacher's words and directly pointed at the hillside and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Relying on the linkage of complex mechanical devices, this strange-looking crossbow does not require manual string pulling at all, and can shoot a kunai tied with Explosive Tags almost every second.
After a while, more than a dozen kunai were inserted into the soil of the hillside.
Follow closely...
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by dazzling fire, violent explosions were heard, and a large amount of soil was instantly lifted into the air.
Such a spectacular scene made Neji and Rock Lee, who as genin lacked strong attack power, couldn't help but open their mouths wide with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"How's it going?"
Tenten, who felt that explosion was art for the first time, turned around and asked Allen for his opinion.
"Well - I can only say that it is a bit unsatisfactory. This thing has two major flaws. The first is that the kunai fired by the crossbow is too slow and can easily be dodged by fast enemies. The second is that this thing is too heavy, and holding it in your hand will definitely affect your speed." Allen touched his chin and commented.
"What about the direction of improvement?" Tenten continued to ask impatiently.
"There are still two directions. First, you can choose to use metal that can conduct Chakra to make a launching device, and then practice Wind Style ninjutsu to replace the crossbow for launching. Second, you can make it bigger, like a platform fixed on the ground, and use Sealing Scroll during battle. Summon it, follow the example of Sand Ninja's Puppet Master, and use Chakra Threads to control multiple Area of Effect Attacks in a large area. It doesn't matter even if the accuracy is low, especially in battles with a large number of enemies, this attack can have unexpected effects."
Allen After pretending to think for a while, he immediately gave two completely different development routes.
He really wanted to see how far this girl with the talent to control ninja tools could go on this path.
"I understand! Thank you for your suggestion! I know what to do next." Tenten touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
"You're welcome, I look forward to seeing your research results one day in the future." Allen encouraged with a smile.
"Kai...Teacher Kai! I suddenly feel that both Tenten and Allen have become so scary!"
Rock Lee stared at the hillside not far away that had been bombed beyond recognition and whispered.
Might Guy nodded with deep understanding. "To a certain extent, it is indeed quite scary. If their research is really successful, I'm afraid even Master Third Hokage will take it seriously."
As someone who has participated in Third Great Ninja War, he knows very well how much casualties this powerful ninja tool can cause to the enemy on the frontal battlefield if it is successfully developed and can be easily controlled by even a genin without much Chakra.
After all, no matter what kind of world it is, the simpler the weapon is to operate and the easier it is to spread, the better.
In contrast, Neji's expression becomes extremely complex.
As a genius of Hyuga Branch Family, he realized for the first time that his position as the strongest in this class might be surpassed by a girl.
Especially for the terrifying explosion just now, even he couldn't guarantee that he could completely rely on Gentle Fist to blow it away.
At that time, as long as a kunai explodes next to you, you will lose your balance and endure several consecutive explosions in a short period of time. Even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
On the way back, Neji deliberately walked at the end with Allen and asked in a polar voice, "Do you have any way to make me stronger quickly?"
"Get stronger quickly?" Allen raised his head and glanced at the other party with interest.
"That's right! I believe if it were you, there would be a way." Neji said with strong tension and anxiety in his tone.
"Sorry, I don't know much about Byakugan and Gentle Fist, so I really can't give you any advice. But if I have any inspiration in the future, I will tell you." Allen responded meaningfully.
From the other party's eyes, he felt an unparalleled anger and hatred.
There is no doubt that Neji at this stage is still in a huge psychological shadow about his father's death and the fact that Caged Bird is branded on his head.
It is estimated that in his eyes, the Zong family is not only not someone he needs to protect, but is actually his sworn enemy.
Of course, for Allen, this is a point that can be exploited.
Although he was still holding on to his identity as a Konoha genin, he had already made plans to defect in his heart.
And if nothing unexpected happens at this point in time, it should be the moment when Chunin Exam ends and Third Hokage dies.
As for whether to join Xiao after defecting or join Sound Ninja Village of Orochimaru, it still needs to be carefully considered for the time being.
Compared to the Will of Fire that publicizes it on the surface, and the Konoha that secretly fights for power, excludes dissidents, and engages in internal strife, Allen feels that those organizations that are supreme in strength are more suitable for him.
At least there is no need to be like now, no matter what you do, you have to do it secretly.
