After Sasori of the Red Sands was completed, Director Yamada immediately sealed her into a spherical Gigai once more.
That way, Mekiya Ruri could also receive it through summoning and put this second Horcrux into use as soon as possible.
Compared to traditional manpower and animal-powered transport, this method of transferring supplies across extreme distances through summoning was not only faster and more efficient, but also clearly safer. Soji had always hoped to promote it on a large scale in the military.
However, progress on modifying summoning contracts had remained stalled. Producing improved summoning seals was not only extremely costly, but their durability was also genuinely worrying. If the treasury of the Land of Wind had not directly funded the project, Soji likely would not have been willing to squeeze this expense out of the research budgets of the two academies.
...But then again.
Though widespread adoption was still unrealistic, special combat units with relatively few but elite personnel—such as airborne troops—were fully suited for pilot programs on a limited scale.
Especially since Jiraiya, the head of the air combat division, was personally close to the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku. He could summon massive creatures to participate in battle, while the Uchiha clan possessed large summoned ninja hawks surpassing ordinary animals in size, which could serve as supplementary support in building a complete military logistics system.
