Sixty years early, Scientific Ninja Tools make their stunning debut
"Oh, is that so?"
To Black Zetsu's surprise, the Hokage didn't seem to show any particular interest.
She must have been young and ignorant, unaware of the hidden power of the Ninja Sect; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so calm.
Having made up his mind, Black Zetsu continued, "The Ninja Sect has a history spanning thousands of years, and its accumulated knowledge and experience are beyond the imagination of outsiders."
"Leaving aside the Sage of Sage of Six Paths brothers, those powerful individuals who have joined the Asura sect and are willing to spend their entire lives within the Ninja Sect are the real targets you need to be wary of."
Perhaps afraid of frightening her, Black Zetsu paused and added, "Of course, you don't need to be afraid. It was only because the Six Paths used the Time Talisman to seal the Ninja Sect that those guys were able to survive for a thousand years."
"With my help, dealing with these people won't be difficult, provided you help me fulfill my wish."
"Okay, I understand."
"... So, tell me your answer, woman."
The green Truth-Seeking Orb condensed, transforming into an ice cone-like shape, Yayoi attacked it without warning.
"I'm very interested in you. How about you lie down on my lab table and we talk again?"
Bang! The Truth-Seeking Orb Ball pinned Black Zetsu firmly to the floor, and no matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail.
She knew better than anyone what kind of role a woman played. A powerful scientist who helped revive the Ōtsutsuki, lying on her lab table, would be better off being sealed away by the Six Paths.
"What a pity..." With a sinister laugh, Black Zetsu's body exploded with a bang, as he voluntarily gave up his life.
But its voice still echoed in the office, "You've angered me, woman."
"Konoha will bear the wrath of Kaguya’s Third Son, the writer of the Shinobi World's history, named Black Zetsu..."
With a gentle wave of her hand, Yayoi completely erased the traces left by the other party.
It's just some minor application of Yin Release techniques; it might fool others, but in front of her, it's pure showing off.
The person who writes the history of the Shinobi World can't even save his own mother. How dare he brag like this?
In fact, Yayoi was indeed tempted at first.
However, upon closer reflection, the Ninja Sect still had some reservations about their actions; Kaguya was the real threat to the entire Shinobi World.
It's hard to say what will happen to Kaguya if they choose to help it, but Konoha will inevitably face the full force of the Ninja Sect.
Even if they could win, it would probably be a Pyrrhic victory, and Yayoi certainly doesn't want to see that happen.
Besides, if he could release it, Kyosuke would have released its mother long ago; he wouldn't have waited until now.
There must be something inside that she doesn't understand. In that case, she might as well try to keep Black Zetsu here.
This strange life form will definitely be of great help to her research.
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
"Once I complete the task left by the adults, all threats will be easily resolved."
Yayoi was very confident about this; only she knew just how amazing the things the adults had brought out truly were.
To put it bluntly, it was a groundbreaking invention that shouldn't have appeared in the Shinobi World so early.
Conversely, once the technology matures, it will be of immeasurable help to ordinary ninjas.
At that time, when it comes to comparing the combat strength of the lower and middle ranks, the entire Shinobi World will be unable to do anything to Konoha.
The Hyuga Clan's base, an underground Secret Laboratory.
Two hundred Shadow Clone were spread throughout the experimental area; some were observing data, some were adjusting the equipment, and others were personally experiencing the power of Ninjutsu.
The only thing they have in common is that they are all Shadow Clone of Yayoi.
One person carried out research that would normally require an entire team to complete.
From a clueless first encounter to the joy of near completion, she has covered the journey that took decades in the original work in just a few years.
That's right, Yayoi's research topic was the application of Scientific Ninja Tools.
Given that we are currently at war, her research focuses primarily on the "Chakra Capacitor Type".
It's a portable machine that stores Ninjutsu Scroll.
By activating the Chakra Capacitor Type, the Ninjutsu stored in the scroll can be released, which is absolutely convenient and quick, and does not require Hand Seals.
Several months ago, Konoha began mass-producing Ninjutsu Scroll.
It contained all sorts of high-level Ninjutsu, such as Chidori, Bringer of Darkness: Fireball Jutsu, and Water Dragon Bullet. Even Hashirama was curious and personally made several copies of Wood Release Ninjutsu to distribute.
Yes, using scrolls to store the Birth of the Tree World is a very good and powerful idea.
If used, it's guaranteed to give the enemy a huge surprise.
The remaining work is nothing more than repetitive debugging.
In order to enable all Konoha Ninjutsu to be used without hand seals and to unleash Ninjutsu full power, Yayoi put in all her effort, determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.
The real show will begin when her experiment is fully completed.
In August of the 12th year of Konoha, Yunsha continued to mobilize troops, determined to take Konoha in one fell swoop.
With his strength constantly improving, Uchiha Yuto unleashed his Perfect Susanoo on the battlefield, taking countless lives with him.
Just as he was enjoying himself alone, the Ninja Sect's representative came to his door, saying that no force beyond the norm should be involved in the war.
The implication is that you are too strong and cannot remain on the battlefield.
Yuto, of course, disagreed, and a fierce battle ensued, resulting in one death and one serious injury.
To avoid a second attack by the Ninja Sect, Yuto was forcibly sent back to Konoha by his subordinates.
His injuries this time were very serious, and even with the nourishment of the Sage Body, he would need a long time to recover.
Furthermore, Yayoi worried that the next move by the Ninja Sect would most likely be a fatal one.
The concept of "Enemy and Ally of the Same Origin" sounds powerful, but it's actually not difficult to break; just have two people work together.
Even if Yuto forcibly increased his strength, he still wouldn't be able to fight two opponents at once, and he would almost certainly die if they actually engaged in battle.
To be able to catch the eye of the Six Paths and allow him to preserve it using the "Time Talisman," one must be an extremely powerful expert.
Despite Yayoi's outward disdain, she actually took it very seriously and was constantly thinking of ways to deal with it.
After Yuto retreated from the western battlefield, Uchiha Izuna was next.
This person was very well hidden. If Yuto, who was supposed to be the ace, hadn't been defeated, the world probably wouldn't have known that he could actually activate the Perfect Susanoo.
The Uchiha is truly terrifying.
Another extraordinary force has emerged; without a doubt, the Ninja Sect's agents have been mobilized.
Just as Sunagakure was hoping that the Ninja Sect could wipe out all of Konoha's remaining forces, they were suddenly horrified to discover that the three waves of agents they had sent out had all died silently, just like Kanami had died before.
Using Konoha's classification system, the lowest level of the Ninja Sect Actors is peak Kage Level, and several skilled individuals have reached the level of Super Kage.
No matter how careless you are, it's impossible to die so peacefully.
Therefore, only two conclusions can explain this.
First, the enemy's strength was far too great; they had no chance to escape, let alone resist.
Second, the enemy possesses a terrifying ability to kill silently; otherwise, they would at least be able to cause some kind of disturbance.
Ninja Sect existed for so long, the Proxy Group has roughly figured out the current landscape of the Shinobi World.
It's not hard to guess who's behind this.
"It must be him, Madara Uchiha. I can't think of anyone else but him."
"To be able to fight against Ōtsutsuki, this person's strength is truly terrifying."
"Yes, unless the Leader can 'awaken,' we alone are probably no match for this person."
"Forget it, let Uchiha Izuna go for now. A mere pair of Mangekyō Sharingan won't amount to much."
I second that.
I second that as well.
And just like that, the threat Izuna faced mysteriously disappeared.
He himself probably didn't know that the Ninja Sect had secretly visited him.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year was approaching once again, but unfortunately, the shadow of war still loomed over the Land of Fire, and the mood of ordinary people was equally depressed.
Just as everyone was getting ready to welcome the new year, news suddenly came from the Land of Land of Whirlpools that spies, suspected to be from Kirigakure, were frequently appearing in the surrounding area.
In the thirteenth year of Konoha, Kirigakure launched surprise attacks against the Land of Whirlpools for two consecutive years.
With the Second Mizukage yet to be chosen, their reason for sending troops is simple: they received instructions from the Ninja Sect.
Whoever achieves the greatest victories on the battlefield will become the Second Mizukage, who will control Kirigakure.
With such a selection process, which Family wouldn't go all out?
It's always better to fight outsiders than to have our own people fighting amongst themselves; that's the general consensus.
As for the intention behind starting the war, ostensibly it was aimed at the Land of Whirlpools, but in reality it was to build a bridge with Konoha.
Unless Uzumaki Hidden Village is eliminated, Kirigakure will be unable to extend its reach to Konoha.
Konoha, understanding this, naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch the Land of Whirlpools fall.
Soon, the allied forces of the Uchiha and Hyuga were mobilized. Since the Hidden Mist Village consisted mostly of bloodline Family, their individual ninjas were powerful but few in number, so there was no need to send a large force.
A contest of individual strength?
Sorry, Konoha has never been afraid of anyone.
Leaving aside the Uchiha and Senju, the Hyuga Clan is now vastly different from what it used to be, truly standing on equal footing with the other two clans.
Not to mention, the strength of the Uzumaki's ninjas far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
There's basically no need to worry about that.
Now, Konoha is fighting against Sunagakure, Cloud, and Kirigakure all by itself. Even with its superior strength, the casualties are still a serious concern.
Fortunately, Yayoi wasn't one to sit idly by. Iwagakure made a clear promise that they wouldn't get involved, on the condition that Konoha would provide assistance with the development of the Ninja Academy and its incentive system.
Simply put, it means replicating Konoha's operating methods and imparting the successful experience of Iwagakure.
At such a moment, not choosing to help the enemy is a great favor, Yayoi accepted the Tsuchikage's request without hesitation.
She wasn't Madara Uchiha after all; she wouldn't take down the Second Generation and Third Tsuchikage when they came to her for guidance.
It's practically like deliberately provoking hatred.
Apart from Iwagakure remaining neutral, Amegakure firmly sided with Konoha.
Their thinking is simple: whoever dares to use their country as a battlefield, the Amegakure Hermits will attack them.
Konoha is indeed quite disciplined in this respect, Amegakure appreciates allies who know how to maintain appropriate boundaries.
Soon, six months passed, and the war continued unabated. Judging from the current situation, it was still unclear which side would have the last laugh.
However, the Shinobi World had no idea that during this period, a groundbreaking technological achievement was finally developed.
July, the thirteenth year of Konoha.
Scientific Ninja Tools were officially introduced in Konoha.
