Kakuzu's face turned dark.
"You..."
"I'm not interested in the organization." Scorpio's voice was cold, "I just want to pursue my Puppet Technique. Other things have nothing to do with me."
Kakuzu took a deep breath and resisted the urge to rip off this lunatic's head.
"Are you sure?"
"OK."
"The kid said, if you don't cooperate, I'll show you this." Kakuzu took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Scorpion.
Xie caught the scroll with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"What is this?"
"See for yourself."
Scorpion opens the scroll.
The next second, his body froze.
The scroll is densely filled with text and diagrams. The title is. "Human Puppet transformation technology upgrade plan-fusion scientific experiment based on Tailed Beast cells".
Scorpion's pupils shrank suddenly.
His hands began to tremble, and he stared at the contents of the scroll, reading word by word.
"This... this is..."
"How is it?" Kakuzu asked coldly, "Aren't you interested yet?"
Scorpion didn't answer.
He just continued to flip through the scrolls, his breathing getting faster and faster.
The content on the scroll describes in detail how to integrate Tailed Beast cells into the puppet's body, giving the puppet beyond conventional strength and regeneration capabilities. It even comes with several design drawings showing the structure of the modified puppet.
This... this is simply a genius idea!
Scorpion never thought that Puppet Technique could develop like this!
"Who designed this?" Xie raised his head, his voice trembling.
Kakuzu's lips curved into a smile.
"If you want to know the answer, just come with me." He paused, "That person wants to see you."
Scorpion was silent for a long time.
In the cave, the only sound left was the "cracking" sound of the oil lamp burning.
After a long while, Xie nodded slowly.
"Okay."
On the third floor of Capital of Fire's "Food Is Heaven", Kakuzu pushed Gate of Opening, followed by a hunchbacked figure.
Senju Chen was sitting by the window drinking tea. When he heard the movement, he said without raising his head, "Here he is? Three days earlier than I expected."
"Is it you?" Xie stood at the door, his green eyes staring at the young man in front of him through the cracks in the puppet's shell, "Is this the plan you wrote?"
"It's me." Senju Chen put down the tea cup and turned around with a harmless smile on his face, "First time meeting, Sasori of the Red Sands. I am Senju Chen."
He stretched out his hand.
Scorpion didn't move.
He just stood there, like a sculpture, examining the boy in front of him who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
Qian Juchen didn't care, took back his hand, walked to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Kakuzu should have told you that I want to establish an intelligence network." Senju Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, "But this is just the surface."
Scorpion's eyes flashed.
"What I really want to do is to build an organization that can bring together all the top technologies of Shinobi World." Senju Chen turned around, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Puppet Technique, biomodification, Scientific Ninja Tool, Kekkei Genkai research... all these technologies will be integrated with each other in this organization to create unprecedented works."
Scorpion's breathing stopped for a moment.
"You..."
"I know what you are pursuing." Senju Chen interrupted him, "But have you ever thought about what you would create if you could combine Puppet Technique with biological modification?"
Xie frowned. "What do you want to say?"
Senju Chen put down the tea cup and walked up to Xie, with a low and bewitching voice. "For example, a Human Puppet with Kekkei Genkai can also self-repair, evolve, and even have Chakra with Tailed Beast level. Only such a work deserves the word 'great', right?"
Damn it, do you know what you are talking about???
After hearing what Senju Chen said, Xie's eyes froze.
Countless pictures instantly appeared in his mind - those people he made into puppets, if they could possess Kekkei Genkai, if they could repair themselves, if they could...
"It's impossible." Xie said hoarsely, "Puppet Technique can't do this."
"Just because we can't do it now, doesn't mean we can't do it in the future." Senju Chen smiled, "I have a scientist named Amado under me. His attainments in biological modification are no worse than yours Puppet Technique. If you cooperate..."
"Maybe you can create such a "great" work."
Kakuzu stood aside, looking at Senju Chen's appearance, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: This kid, his ability to draw cakes is really top-notch. Even he, an old guy who has lived for more than ninety years, almost believed this.
But when I think of those two lunatics in the research institute, well... you can't really tell whether Senju Chen is trying to make a fool of himself.
"I can provide you with resources, technology, and even materials." Senju Chen continued, "In exchange, you need to work for me. Of course, your research freedom will not be subject to any restrictions. You can research whatever you want to research. Make whatever work you want to do."
Scorpion was silent for a long time.
The only sound left in the cave was the "rustling" of the wind blowing through the leaves outside the window.
After a long while, Xie slowly spoke, "I need a lot of corpses."
Senju Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "This is simple. My teacher has a lot of corpses."
"And..." Xie's voice paused, "I need special materials."
"What material?"
"The corpse of the owner of Kekkei Genkai." In Xie's eyes, the green light flickered even more intensely, "If Kekkei Genkai can be integrated into the puppet's body..."
This is also the recent research direction of Puppet Technique by Scorpion, and he plans to integrate Kekkei Genkai into his own Puppet Technique.
Senju Chen was silent for a moment.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
"Okay."
Scorpion's pupils shrank suddenly.
"What did you say?"
"I said, yes." Senju Chen repeated, his tone as calm as if he was saying that Tenten is in good spirits today, "I can also provide you with the corpse of the Kekkei Genkai owner."
Scorpion's body began to tremble.
"You... do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course." Senju Chen walked to the window and looked at the bustling street outside, "Shinobi World is so big, some people will die. And I can just make their death more valuable."
Kakuzu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
This kid... is also a lunatic.
"But..." Senju Chen turned around, his eyes became sharp, "I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"The ownership of all the works you create belongs to me." Senju Chen said lightly, "You can use them and study them, but the final control must be in my hands."
Scorpion was silent.
He knew that Senju Chen was guarding against him.
After all, if a madman who can produce Kekkei Genkai Human Puppet loses control, the consequences will be disastrous.
"... Okay." Xia finally nodded, "But I also have a request."
"Say."
"I want to meet the scientist named Amado." Xie's voice was full of expectation, "If he is really as powerful as you say, I want to cooperate with him."
Senju Chen smiled.
"No problem."
He walked up to Scorpion and stretched out his hand again.
"So, happy working together?"
Xie didn't hesitate this time and held Senju Chen's hand.
