Standing to the side, En Oyashiro added, "However, to support the full-power firing of the Railgun, we still need to further optimize the energy output efficiency of the power reactor."
"Hmm, the upgraded power reactor should be able to support the full-power firing of the Railgun."
Uchiha Jun nodded, stepped forward to the power reactor, and prepared to perform the enhancement.
The enhancement material used was, of course Mangekyō Sharingan that the Uchiha Jun -produced!
--[ Inari ]!
Uchiha Jun Hand Seals and summoned an artificial Uchiha Clan Artificial Human.
"Bang!"
As the smoke cleared, an Artificial Human with a resemblance to the Uchiha Clan appeared before the crowd.
" Spirit Transformation Technique!"
Uchiha Jun closed his eyes, his consciousness leaving his body like an invisible stream of light, and entered the Artificial Human body.
The next second, the Artificial Human opened its eyes.
It was those crimson Mangekyō Sharingan —the left eye was [ Sukunahikona ]'s, and the right eye was [ Inari ].
--[ Inari ]: Can consume the currency currently circulating in the Shinobi World to enhance ninja tools. Enhancement can be permanent or temporary.
" Hyuga Yo, are you ready?"
Uchiha Jun's voice came from the Artificial Human, carrying a slight echo.
Hyuga Yo stood to the side, his Byakugan activated, veins bulging. "We can start anytime, Jun-sama."
As the only Dōjutsu that relies on the currency of the Shinobi World to activate, Uchiha Jun was very curious about the working mechanism of [ Inari ].
In his previous life, as a fiery character, Uchiha Jun, besides his purity, enjoyed tormenting the Potato server with small bugs. After transmigrating, he successfully created a Golden Finger called "True Dedication".
That is to use Izanagi to reverse the 'reality' of your lottery draw. Although you can't get whatever you want, at least if you encounter a lottery result you don't like, you can just try again.
"Good."
Uchiha Jun took a deep breath, and the [ Inari ] in his right eye began to slowly rotate.
A strange fluctuation of pupil power spread outwards from him.
" Inari —Activate!"
In that instant, everyone felt a strange tremor.
It didn't come from the ground, nor from the air, but from the depths of the soul.
It was as if something was being reshaped, strengthened, and sublimated by some invisible force!
Uchiha Jun's gaze fell on the enormous Moryo Power Reactor, and his right eye's Dōjutsu [ Inari ] began to activate.
At the same time, intense pain instantly swept through Uchiha Jun's entire body from his right eye!
Uchiha Jun could clearly sense that the power of his right eye was surging out wildly from it, like an invisible hand, beginning to reshape the structure of the power plant in front of him!
"The consumption... has begun."
"Uchiha Jun said softly."
Before he could finish speaking, the vast sums of money Uchiha Jun had stored in the Sealing Scroll were being depleted at an alarming rate.
Fifty million taels... one hundred million taels... two hundred million taels...
At the same time, the Moryo Power Reactor was also undergoing visible changes!
The originally rough surface began to become smooth and delicate, and the Sealing Jutsu seemed to come alive, spontaneously reconstructing, optimizing, and reorganizing!
The Dark Chakra inside the reactor, enhanced by [ Inari ], began to become purer, more concentrated, and more efficient!
"This... this! I never expected this! The Uchiha Clan's Dōjutsu could actually go this far!!"
Seimei's eyes widened, her voice trembling with disbelief.
He had spent most of his life forging ninja tools and had never seen such a miraculous scene—that such a massive mechanical structure could be modified using only the power of one eye!
Moreover, the efficiency of this modification far surpasses that of any manual operation!
The renovation process was specifically designed to address some of the most difficult challenges identified in the plan!
For example, some requirements that could not be met due to material limitations were actually achieved by directly altering the properties of the materials!
This simple and crude approach made Seimei curious as to why Uchiha Jun's original plan to design the power reactor was even more exaggerated.
Sasori of the Red Sands to the side, was also finding it difficult to remain calm.
His usually indifferent eyes now gleamed with an almost fanatical light—"This power... this tempering... it's more perfect than any puppetry technique!"
Meanwhile, Hyuga Yo's Byakugan was rapidly recording every detail of [ Inari ]'s activation.
He could see that Uchiha Jun's eye power seemed to have transformed into an invisible network, connecting every part of the power reactor, every Sealing Jutsu technique, and every wisp of Dark Chakra.
Then, we began the synchronous optimization!
"Data recording... Energy output efficiency is increasing... 78%... 82%... 89%..."
Seimei stared at the rapidly fluctuating data on the control panel, his voice growing increasingly excited.
"Ninety-five percent... ninety-eight percent!!"
"A breakthrough! The power reactor's energy output efficiency has reached 98%! My God!!"
"And it's still improving!"
En Oyashiro gasped, "One hundred percent... Is this even a human being capable of?"
Although Miroku couldn't understand the data, she could sense that the Moryo she had once considered an ominous object was undergoing a qualitative change.
The violence and chaos contained within that Dark Chakra are being purified, refined, and sublimated by an invisible force!
They actually transformed a terrifying monster into a tool that they could take at will!
"Incredible... truly incredible..."
Miroku murmured softly, his eyes filled with shock.
At this moment, feedback information from [ Inari ] was constantly pouring into Uchiha Jun's mind.
He could clearly perceive every change in the Moryo Power Reactor—
Energy output efficiency has increased from 73% to 98%!
Moreover, and most importantly, the power of [ Inari ] has somehow created a deep symbiosis between the will of the Moryo and the structure of the power plant!
In other words, the current Moryo Power Reactor is no longer simply a combination of machinery and Demon Beast, but a completely new life form!
A biomechanical system that coexists with machines, capable of self-evolution and self-repair!
"It's done!"
Uchiha Jun's lips curled into a smile as he slowly withdrew the power of his [ Inari ] eye.
The next moment, the excruciating pain not only did not lessen, but intensified!
So much so that even Uchiha Jun, who had deliberately raised his pain threshold, found it somewhat unbearable and frowned slightly.
"It cost... 600 million taels of silver. The money is a small matter, it's the loss of my eye power that's the real issue!"
Uchiha Jun said softly, his tone tinged with a hint of heartache, but mostly with satisfaction.
Six hundred million taels of silver in exchange for a top-tier power furnace capable of self-evolution and self-repair—an absolute steal!
However, at the same time, the right eye, which houses Inari, is also experiencing a rapid decline in vision. Its once powerful ability to see a fly flying a hundred meters away is now shrouded in a fog.
My eyesight has plummeted!
"Boss! Boss!"
Seimei practically rushed up to Uchiha Jun, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "What... what kind of power was that just now? It could directly strengthen mechanical structures?!"
"This...?"
Uchiha Jun withdrew from the Spirit Transformation Technique and returned to his own body. He stretched his somewhat stiff shoulders. "It's a Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu called [ Inari ]."
"You can enhance items, such as puppets, by consuming currency."
Upon hearing this, Seimei and Sasori of the Red Sands's eyes lit up instantly.
"Boss! I need an upgrade!"
Without saying a word, Seimei knelt down. "My mechanical body, although it has been modified many times, is only at the level of Elite Jonin. Even at full power, it's still just so-so. Moreover, it's ignorant and insensitive, which is really boring!"
"Boss, could you please enhance it for me? Just a simple enhancement will do!"
Sasori of the Red Sands to the side, maintained a calm expression, but his voice carried a rare hint of urgency. "Boss, my Third Kazekage Human Puppet, fused with the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, is currently undergoing research where we've discovered that the puppet's material can no longer withstand higher-intensity combat."
"If possible, I hope you can help me strengthen it; it will definitely become a sharp weapon in your hands!"
Uchiha Jun looked at the two of them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work during this research period. I'm always fair in rewarding and punishing people."
"Since you've all worked so hard, I certainly won't treat you unfairly."
During this period, En Oyashiro maintained a normal work-rest schedule of nine to five, with occasional breaks.
Seimei, obsessed with ninja tools, relied on his mechanical body to work around the clock, using himself like a nuclear-powered donkey; Sasori also used a secret technique to force himself into a deep sleep for an hour and a half every day, getting up to work as soon as it was time, and spending the rest of his time in the laboratory.
They're working so hard they could practically train on a treadmill in Sky Fortress.
This hardworking nuclear-powered donkey needs an upgrade, so naturally, its needs must be met.
Uchiha Jun walked up to Seimei, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Your mechanical body really needs some strengthening, but the power reactor that [ Inari ] just strengthened consumed too much power, so it needs to rest. I'll strengthen it for you tomorrow."
As he spoke, Uchiha Jun pointed to the Artificial Human next to him, whose right eye was gushing blood, leaving a small pool of blood.
Upon hearing this, Seimei nodded repeatedly. "No problem! No problem!! Thank you, boss!"
Uchiha Jun then looked at Sasori of the Red Sands: " The Third Kazekage 'Human Puppet, I'll see if I can strengthen it with [ Inari ]. At the same time, you can also have Seimei help you optimize the puppet's structure. Combining the two should have a better effect."
Sasori of the Red Sands nodded. "Understood."
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work. I'm going to take a break. [ Inari ] is a kind of Dōjutsu that consumes a lot of energy."
Uchiha Jun stretched and turned to walk towards the rest room.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back to look at the newly renovated power plant, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"By the way, Seimei, once the power unit is completely stable, we'll prepare to set off."
"Set off? Where to?" Seimei asked curiously.
" The Land of Wind "
A glint of light flashed in Uchiha Jun's eyes. "There, something good is waiting for us."
' Dragon Vein... Mukade... and that Queen Sara.'
'I wonder how the plot will turn out!'
With that, he strode out of the research and development lab.
Seimei and the others were left behind, looking at each other with anticipation in their eyes.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain.
In a dark underground stronghold, Shimura Danzō on a dilapidated wooden chair, holding a cup of murky tea in his hand.
Opposite him sat a ninja wearing the standard uniform of Amegakure — Hanzo of the Salamander's confidant.
" Hanzo said he can consider your request."
The ninja's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger, "But the prerequisite is that you must prove your worth."
"Proof value?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Shimura Danzō.
"Tell Hanzo I, Shimura Danzō, am no longer the same Shimura Danzō I once was."
"My current strength is enough to leave him speechless!"
"Let him wait and see. Soon, he'll know what the true Darkness of the Shinobi World is!"
The ninja was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I will convey this to Hanzo."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around, and left.
Shimura Danzō watched his retreating figure, the smile on his lips deepened.
" Hanzo... just you wait."
"We'll meet soon."
"Then I will show you with your own eyes what true power is!"
Sky Fortress, main control room.
Standing before the enormous holographic map, Seimei gazed at the route to the Land of Wind marked on it, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
"Boss, everything is ready, we can depart at any time."
"Um."
Uchiha Jun stood by the window, gazing at the darkening sky outside, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Notify everyone, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."
"Target— Rōran, the Land of Wind!"
"This time, I will let the entire Shinobi World know of the existence of our Sky Fortress!"
The following morning, in the research and development room of the Sky Fortress, Uchiha Jun stood in front of the workbench, his right eye's [ Inari ] Mangekyo slowly rotating.
"Are you ready, kids!"
"Boss, I'm ready! I'm ready!!" Seimei stood to the side, his mechanical body gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the morning light, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Uchiha Jun nodded, and the power of his right eye surged forth like a tidal wave.
[ Inari - Activate!]
In that instant, the Seimei mechanical body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force.
The originally rough metal surface began to become smooth and delicate, and the internal mechanical structure began to be reorganized, optimized, and strengthened under the influence of the pupil power!
"This... this feeling!"
"This is absolutely amazing!! Hahahaha!!" Seimei's voice trembled as he clearly sensed that his mechanical body was undergoing a qualitative leap!
The energy circuits that could originally only support Elite Jonin- level energy are now being expanded and reinforced by the power of [ Inari ]!
Originally single functional modules are being rewoven into more complex and efficient structures.
"Strengthening direction: Functionality first."
Uchiha Jun's voice was calm, "Since you're not good at fighting, you don't need to be a main combatant. The next modification will focus more on expanding your functionality."
"Understood!" Seimei's eyes gleamed with fervent light.
Ten minutes later, [ Inari ]'s pupil power slowly faded.
Seimei looked down at his hands—those originally ordinary mechanical hands were now covered with a layer of dark golden luster, and the fingertips faintly shimmered with the light of Chakra.
"Boss... I feel like I..." Seimei clenched his fist, an unprecedented sense of power surging from within him, "I could punch a small mountain to pieces!"
"This power can even shatter rocks!"
"... Don't get cocky." Uchiha Jun waved his hand, turned to Sasori of the Red Sands beside him, and said, "It's your turn."
Sasori took a deep breath and summoned the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet.
The completely black Human Puppet stood silently in the center of the research and development room, exuding the oppressive aura of a Kage Level powerhouse.
" The Third Kazekage 'Human Puppet is fused with the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, but due to the limitations of the puppet's material, it can only unleash 50% of the Third Kazekage's Chakra reserves during his lifetime."
Scorpion's voice held a hint of anticipation, "Boss, if we could enhance it to 80%..."
"Eighty percent?" Uchiha Jun's lips curled into a smile. "What I want is more than eighty percent!"
The [ Inari ] in the right eye is turning again!
This time, the output of eye power was even more ferocious!
The Third Kazekage's Human Puppet body began to tremble violently under the influence of his eye power, and the black coating on its surface seemed to come alive, spontaneously flowing and reorganizing.
"Click click click--"
The puppet's internal mechanical structure emitted crisp sounds as gears rearranged, joints strengthened, and energy circuits expanded!
The scorpion's pupils contracted slightly.
He could clearly sense that the Magnet Release Chakra within the Human Puppet's body was surging at an astonishing rate!
50%...60%...70%...
When the enhancement was complete, the amount of Chakra surging within the Third Kazekage Human Puppet had reached 90% of its pre-life value!
If the Third Kazekage were resurrected and fought, the outcome would be uncertain!
After all, the Third Kazekage possessed the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, and his puppets also possessed it, but the Third Kazekage couldn't conjure a poisonous sword or a thousand prosthetic arms from his crotch!
"This... this!" Scorpion's voice trembled. "It's unbelievable!"
" High Kage Level goalkeeper." Uchiha Jun put away [ Inari ], rubbed his slightly sore right eye, and switched back to his real body. "That's enough. Time to get down to business."
"Prepare for takeoff!"
Three hours later, inside the main control room of the Sky Fortress.
Uchiha Jun stood in front of the central control panel, his gaze sweeping across the holographic display screen in front of him.
"Power system, ready."
"Weapon system, standby mode."
"Defense barrier activated."
"Coordinates confirmed, cruising altitude -- stratosphere."
Qingming's Seimei voice echoed in the control room, every word filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Uchiha Jun took a deep breath and placed his right hand on the start button in the center of the control panel.
"Activate— Sky Fortress!"
"Buzz--"
A deep rumble came from the bottom of the fortress.
That's the sound of the Moryo Power Reactor starting up!
Dark Chakra surged into the fortress's energy circuits like a tidal wave, propelling the colossal structure slowly off the ground!
"Take off!"
As Uchiha Jun's voice faded, dozens of deep blue Chakra flames erupted from the bottom of the Sky Fortress, and the entire fortress began to slowly rise!
The scenery on the ground gradually shrinks in the field of vision, and the outline of Dragon Bone Gorge becomes more and more distant.
Inside the control room, Seimei, Yuya En Oyashiro, Sasori of the Red Sands, Miroku, Hyuga Yo, and everyone on the Sky Fortress held their breath, watching the huge holographic screen display the fortress's height steadily increasing.
1000 meters... 3000 meters... 5000 meters...
The moment the Sky Fortress broke through the clouds and entered the stratosphere, everyone was stunned.
Through the window, they saw a sight they had never seen before.
The sea of clouds surged beneath my feet, and the azure sky hung overhead like a giant jewel.
On the distant horizon, the outline of a nearby major power can be faintly seen.
"This is... the Shinobi World?" Seimei murmured, his voice filled with awe.
"No." Uchiha Jun turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips. "This is just the beginning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of information prompts popped up on the system panel in Uchiha Jun's consciousness--
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden achievement: [ Sky Overlord ]]
[Rewards: 10,000 Gold Coin, 10 Shinobi World Recruitment Ticket, 20 Random Ninja Shards ]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest: [ The Shinobi World is Under Siege]]
[Task Rating: S]
[Rewards being distributed...]
[15,000 Gold Coin, 15 Shinobi World Recruitment Ticket, 30 Random Ninja Shards, Title [Lord of the Sky] (Effect: Increases all attributes by 15% when fighting in the air)]
[Ding! New quest unlocked: [ Dragon Vein ]]
[Mission Objective: Travel to Rōran, the Land of Wind, and explore the secrets of the Dragon Vein ]
[Task Time Limit: Three Months]
[Failure Penalty: Locked into the S-rank ninja pool (next recruitment will only drop A-rank ninjas)]
[Task Reward: Unlock the [Time-Space] Template]
Uchiha Jun looked at the information on the panel, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
" Dragon Vein quest... interesting."
He closed the panel and turned to Seimei: "Maintain cruising altitude, target— the Land of Wind Border."
"Clear!"
Seimei turned around and began to operate the system. The Sky Fortress drew an elegant arc in the stratosphere and headed towards the Land of Wind.
Uchiha Jun turned and walked towards the research and development room.
"I'm going to the research lab. You guys continue with the weapon system upgrades."
"Yes, boss!"
Inside the research and development room, Uchiha Jun sat cross-legged in front of a workbench, with a pile of research materials spread out in front of him.
The results of Orochimaru's research on Senjutsu Mode, which he had sent over this period, as well as his own research notes on the Moryo he had been 'playing with', were now lying quietly on the table.
" Senjutsu... Cursed Seal..."
Uchiha Jun picked up Orochimaru's research report and quickly skimmed through it.
The report details the results of five batches of human experiments— Orochimaru successfully developed the basic framework of the " Cursed Seal " using Senjutsu Chakra provided by Uchiha Jun.
