"I'm sorry, Amado. No matter what route was set, whether I was on the ship or not."
"From the very beginning, that ship was designed so its route could be changed from the outside..."
Atop a small mountain, Victor was operating the miniature computer on his arm.
A smug expression appeared on his face. "Now the vessel and the ship have both fallen into my hands..."
Just then, his computer suddenly began flashing red.
"What!?"
Victor was startled.
Then countless warnings popped up on the screen.
He discovered that the ship's navigation system had stopped and its altitude was rapidly dropping.
In other words, the airship was falling.
"Wh... what's going on!? Has the plan been exposed!?"
"No, otherwise they wouldn't have moved me onto the ship from the start."
"Did the invisibility ability cause a problem instead?"
"What the hell happened?"
At that moment, the airship, carrying the vessel, crashed toward the forest near Konoha.
Konoha
Hokage's Office
"Ah, Lord Eighth Hokage, this is the prototype made for Lord Seventh Hokage..."
Shikamaru sat behind his desk, looking at the bespectacled Dr. Katasuke.
"Ah, this is the Prosthetic Arm you were asked to make for the Seventh Hokage?"
Katasuke said proudly, "That's right. But of course, this isn't an ordinary Prosthetic Arm. As for its power..."
"I think it would be best to let the Seventh Hokage test it himself. When the time comes, it will surely leave both the Seventh and Eighth Hokage astonished."
Shikamaru nodded amiably. "It seems Dr. Katasuke is very confident."
Katasuke said proudly:
"This is my finest masterpiece. It embodies all of Konoha's scientific capabilities. Our Science Research Institute is definitely stronger than Orochimaru's Biological Research Institute."
Shikamaru laughed awkwardly. "We'll arrange a date for the testing. You've worked hard this time, Katasuke."
