As night fell, Sky Country's camp shone with a light blue light in the distance. The aircraft were arranged neatly, and the energy indicators on the surface flashed regularly.
"Their defenses are very tight." Sasuke stood on the observation deck of Land of Whirlpools, and Rinnegan stared at the camp in the distance. "Each aircraft has an energy shield around it, and there are also patrolling automatic puppets."
Nagato walked to him. "Can you see any clues?"
"There is no abnormality on the surface, but I always feel that something is wrong." Sasuke frowned, "The empty Chakra Wave moves very strangely, not like a normal person."
"You mean he's also been transformed?"
"It's possible." Sasuke looked away, "I need to observe closely."
"It's too dangerous." Nagato shook his head, "If we are discovered, we will lose the initiative."
"Don't worry." Sasuke showed a sneer on his lips, "I have a better way."
The next morning, Kong came to Land of Whirlpools again, this time he brought more technological exhibits.
"How did you think about it last night?" Kong asked gently, "Our cooperation will be beneficial to both parties."
"Your technology is indeed impressive." Sasuke said proactively, "Can you introduce the principles of these devices in detail?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Kong's eyes, obviously he didn't expect Sasuke to take the initiative to express interest. "Of course. This is the legendary Uchiha Sasuke, right? I've long admired his name."
"Excellent." Sasuke walked towards the humanoid puppet, "This automated system is very interesting, completely different from the traditional Puppet Technique."
"That's right!" Kong said excitedly, "Traditional puppets need to be controlled by Chakra Threads, but our system relies entirely on the built-in intelligent core."
He patted the puppet's chest, and a transparent hatch slowly opened, revealing the complex mechanical structure inside. "This is the core processor, which is equivalent to the human brain."
Sasuke took a closer look and Rinnegan quietly activated. But just as he was about to explore deeply, he suddenly felt a strong recoil force.
"Ah!" Sasuke took a few steps back, and a trace of blood flashed in Rinnegan's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I was just stimulated by the strong light." Sasuke rubbed his eyes, but his heart was stirred up. At that moment, he felt the existence of some kind of anti-reconnaissance device.
Kong said with concern, "Sorry, the energy fluctuation of the processor is really dazzling. Why don't we look at it from another angle?"
"Okay." Sasuke looked calm on the outside, but was thinking quickly about countermeasures inside.
Sora continued to introduce other devices, but Sasuke noticed that whenever he tried to use Rinnegan to observe deeply, he would encounter some kind of shielding. These technological devices obviously have the function of preventing ninjutsu detection.
"Mr. Sasuke is very interested in our technology." Kong smiled, "I wonder if we can also see the legendary Rinnegan?"
"Of course." Sasuke agreed readily, "But Rinnegan's ability is more complicated and requires a suitable demonstration object."
He looked at a metal box Sora brought. "Can I use that box for a demonstration?"
"This..." Kong hesitated, "This contains relatively important equipment."
"It doesn't matter, I'm just demonstrating Heavenly Hand Power's space exchange capability." Sasuke explained, "It will not cause damage to the box."
Kong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Okay, but please be careful."
Sasuke walked to the box and Rinnegan started spinning. "Heavenly Hand Power!"
The next second, the metal box swapped places with a stone ten meters away. The onlookers made exclamations, but the real purpose of Sasuke was not to show.
The moment he activated Heavenly Hand Power, he quietly implanted a miniature spiritual imprint inside the box. This imprint was so tiny that even airborne anti-reconnaissance devices could not detect it.
"Wonderful!" Kong clapped and praised, "Space-Time Ninjutsu is indeed magical."
"Excellent." Sasuke exchanged the box back, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.
During the following exchanges, Sasuke had been waiting patiently. Finally, when Sora opened the box and showed the equipment inside, the opportunity came.
"This is our latest Life Support Device." Kong took out a cylindrical device that emitted green light, "It can delay cell aging and is effective in treating various difficult and complicated diseases."
At the moment the device was activated, the mental imprint implanted by Sasuke was activated. A large amount of information poured into his brain instantly.
Sasuke endured his headache and quickly analyzed the obtained data. Soon, he discovered an astonishing secret.
The manufacturing technology of these devices actually contains a large amount of data on human body modification. What is even more frightening is that the source of these data is marked with a familiar code name: Shadow Organization Laboratory.
"Interesting technology." Sasuke said calmly, "Are there any special materials needed to make this kind of equipment?"
"Mainly some rare metals and special biological samples." Kong replied, "We have partners all over the place to provide raw materials."
"Partner?" Nagato keenly captured the key information.
"Yes, such as some organizations that specialize in biological modification." Kong said casually, "Their experimental data are very helpful to our technological development."
Sasuke and Nagato looked at each other and saw alertness in each other's eyes.
"Since it's cooperation, you should know Shadow Organization very well, right?" Sasuke asked tentatively.
Sora's expression stiffened for a moment, and although it quickly returned to normal, it was still captured by Sasuke.
"Shadow Organization? What is that?" Sora pretended to be confused.
"It's the mysterious organization that has been producing Cyborg in various places recently." Nagato said calmly, "It just attacked our village a few days ago."
"Oh, that." Kong suddenly realized, "We have indeed heard of it, but have no direct contact. After all, we are a peaceful technological country and do not participate in such violent activities."
However, Sasuke has confirmed from the data obtained that Sky Country not only has a cooperative relationship with Shadow Organization, but is also one of the main sponsors of Shadow Organization.
What's even more shocking is that the data also mentions a mysterious word: dragon vein.
Sky Country seems to be looking for something called dragon vein, and this dragon vein is directly related to their leader's illness.
"About the treatment plan, when can we start?" Yuki-onna suddenly said, her arms had crystallized ice up to her elbows.
"Any time." Sora immediately changed the subject, "All it takes is some simple blood samples and Chakra data."
"I can provide blood samples." Yuki-onna said firmly, "But I want to see the effect of the treatment first."
"Of course it's no problem." Kong took out a syringe-like device from the box, "This can temporarily slow down the process of ice crystallization."
