Uchiha Jun stood in front of the design drawings and looked at them one by one.
After reading it, he turned to look at Seimei, and the corner of Uchiha Jun's mouth curled up with a trace of satisfaction. "Well done, better than I imagined. It seems that you, the ancestor of Takumi Village, are still a treasure trove of swords."
"In just a few days, I have almost completely absorbed Sky Ninja's technology, and I can also introduce new ones, which is very good!"
Hearing this sentence, Seimei's tired eyes suddenly lit up. "Boss, then this contract..."
"A long-term research and development contract of 20 million taels, a fixed research fund of 30 million taels per month, and 20 million taels of living expenses to spend as you wish. These 30 million research funds need you to invest in my research."
"I will increase or decrease the research funding based on your results."
Uchiha Jun took out a prepared scroll of money from the ninja bag and threw it to Seimei, "Sign, and this money will be yours."
Seimei took the scroll and signed his name quickly and smoothly.
Shinobi World doesn't talk about the law, it's the hard truth to have a big fist. Similarly, since Uchiha Jun wants to engage in this "form", then Seimei is naturally willing to cooperate, and he can get money just by signing, and he will be happy even if he writes Mechanical Arm to scrap it!
Then Seimei raised his head and looked at Uchiha Jun, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes - excitement, emotion, and a feeling of finally finding where he belonged.
Without saying anything else, he bit his finger and pressed a bloody fingerprint on the bottom of the scroll.
"Thank you, boss."
Uchiha Jun waved his hand. "Thank you, you have skills, I will give you money to help me work, it is only natural."
Putting away the scroll, Uchiha Jun turned around and walked towards the depths of the fortress, leaving behind a sentence: "Next, the basic renovation of the fortress will officially start. The specific time of production will depend on your progress."
Seimei looked at Uchiha Jun's leaving figure and was silent for two seconds. Then he turned his head, looked at the design drawings, and took a deep breath.
"--Let's start work!"
At the same time, Suna-nin Frontline.
Orochimaru stood on a hill half cut off by ninjutsu, overlooking the smoke-filled battlefield below.
He had just repelled the third wave of attacks by Suna-nin's troops. Dozens of corpses were lying strewn on the ground - some from Suna-nin and some from Konoha.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt food and blood.
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes showed little emotion - fighting of this level was already commonplace for him.
He turned his head and looked at the messenger ninja beside him. "Have the casualty figures been calculated?"
"Report Lord Orochimaru, seventeen of our troops were killed and twenty-three were seriously injured. Suna-nin left at least forty corpses, and several seriously injured people were captured by our side."
Orochimaru nodded. "Let Medical Team give priority to the seriously injured, and bandage the lightly injured to continue fighting - as long as we survive their two waves of offensive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we can enter the counterattack stage."
"Yes!"
The ninja was ordered to leave quickly.
Orochimaru stood alone on the hill, looking at the direction of Suna-nin's position in the distance with his golden vertical pupils.
At this moment, a small snow-white snake emerged from his sleeve, spat out a message, and picked up a small scroll from his hand.
Orochimaru took the scroll, unfolded it, and scanned it with his eyes.
That was Uchiha Jun's secret message - sent by Summoning Animal from Dragon Bone Gorge two days ago.
The content of the letter made Orochimaru's golden snake eyes, which had always been calm, narrow slightly for the first time.
"Sky Ninja Village's Air Fortress, I didn't expect that he actually... found it?"
Orochimaru whispered to himself, and then continued to move his eyes downward. When he saw the paragraph "preparing to establish Independent Base in Land of Water", his expression changed from "interested" to "shocked".
"Do you want to conquer an entire country and defeat the entire Shinobi World with one person?... It's really... a terrifying future."
Orochimaru put down the letter, raised his head, looked at the sky that was a little gray with gunpowder smoke, and slowly exhaled.
"Back then, at his age, I was still fighting for the Jonin quota... This guy is good, he has already started planning to conquer a country..."
Orochimaru shook his head, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a smile.
"This kind of courage, this kind of courage... It seems that my 'apprentice' is really going to take off."
Orochimaru continued to look down, and his eyes fell on the "Artificial Tailed Beast Project" framework proposed by Uchiha Jun.
As he looked at it, he suddenly remembered something - those were the several project frameworks Shimura Danzō showed him when he first contacted him in the name of "collaborative scientific research" a few years ago.
Among them is the prototype plan of "Artificial Tailed Beast Project".
However, at that time, the plan given by Danzo was still very rough. It was just some preliminary theoretical derivation on "how to use negative emotional energy to create artificial Tailed Beasts". Even the name "Zero-Tails" had not yet appeared.
At that time, Orochimaru was attracted by Hashirama Senju Cells and did not take over "Artificial Tailed Beast Project". The subsequent project also failed.
The reason why we studied "Artificial Tailed Beast" is because Konoha holds the most powerful Nine-Tails among Nine Tailed Beasts.
But it can only be used as a final 'backup hidden energy' to be used for one-for-one replacement, and it cannot use Tailed Beasts militaristically like other ninja villages.
For example, Iwa-nin's Four-Tails Roshi and Five-Tails Han are real Kage Level strong men on the battlefield. After Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, they can play a terrifying role in turning the tide of the battle!
Yun Ren's Eight-Tails and Two-Tails Jinchuriki were no less generous. If Uchiha Jun hadn't killed him and captured him, I'm afraid Orochimaru would still have a headache on how to stabilize Cloud-nin Frontline!
Even Suna-nin can use One-Tails to conduct acts of war.
This means that other ninja villages have one or more copies of Kage Level's combat power than Konoha on the battlefield!
Although Konoha has the strongest Tailed Beasts, Nine-Tails is so powerful that it can almost overpower other Tailed Beasts by itself.
But it is precisely because of this power that even Uzumaki Clan, which is most suitable as Jinchuriki, can only be suppressed and sealed.
If you want to be like Four-Tails Roshi, Five-Tails Han, who can have a 'super change form' anytime and anywhere, change the size of the same place, and vomit Tailed Beast Ball, don't even think about it.
All that can be done is to suppress Nine-Tails. Although some Nine-Tails Chakra can be used to achieve the combat power of Kage Level, the risk is still too great.
After all, even if a Jinchuriki from another village dies suddenly and Tailed Beasts comes to 'Demon Pill is born', we can rely on the power of an entire village to stuff it back into the body of the next Jinchuriki.
But Nine-Tails cannot do that. Once Nine-Tails Jinchuriki dies suddenly, the best result is to drag Nine-Tails along with him and revive Nine-Tails.
The worst result is that Nine-Tails is not dead, but instead comes up with a "plan to destroy Konoha", attacking Konoha with a dog's head, and then being replaced by Third with Reaper Death Seal.
It is impossible to beat him to his knees, and then use a Humanoid Poké Ball called Jinchuriki to subdue him.
It is precisely because of this that Konoha will try to carry out Artificial Tailed Beast's plan.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Orochimaru turned his attention to the plan given by Uchiha Jun. Since he planned to recruit Orochimaru to join the team, Uchiha Jun naturally used his brains and used his intelligence advantage to outline the general research framework for the plan.
The solution given is also much more mature than the version of Danzo.
The plan clearly stated that Land of Demons has a Demon Beast named Moryo, which is suspected to be a creature composed of negative emotional chakra. It is said to be immortal and has huge energy, but in fact it is only average.
When the time comes, Uchiha Jun will use Eight-Branched Form to resist the damage, and Orochimaru will assist in the sealing and safekeeping to capture a piece of material with extremely high research value.
The value of this is self-evident.
Orochimaru put away the letter and was silent for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with the enthusiasm of a researcher!
Then he took out a pen and paper, as well as some Storage Scroll he carried with him, and asked Summoning Animal to bring all the experimental data about Konoha's 'Artificial Tailed Beast Project' project to Uchiha Jun.
Although Orochimaru did not personally participate in this project, due to his status as the subordinate of Danzo, these data also need to pass through the hands of Orochimaru.
