After sending Council of Elders and his sister away, the philistine smile on Senju Chen's face instantly faded.
He walked to the tactical panel aside and quickly slid his fingers to bring up an encrypted document.
Amado leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and exhaled gray-white smoke. "You overacted today. Although those old guys are old-fashioned, they are not fools. Sooner or later, they will realize that you don't care about the money."
"So what if you react?" Senju Chen didn't look back, staring at the dense data on the screen. "When the ninjas in the village are accustomed to the drone's field of view, to Gatling's firepower, and to mission reports with zero casualties. Even if I put a knife on their necks, they will take the initiative to stuff money into my pocket."
He turned around, his eyes dark. "And this is only the first step. The change of equipment is just a superficial change. What I really want to change is the foundation and future of Konoha."
A brand new draft syllabus popped up on the screen.
Amado squinted his eyes and read the words clearly. "Basic Biology", "Energy Conversion of Chakra and Electricity", "Electronic Information and Use"... Do you plan to hand over all these things to Konoha?"
"Not only these, I also plan to integrate the most basic part into the teaching of the Ninja Academy."
"Some things have to be started from childhood." Senju Chen knocked on the table. "The ninja thinking of the older generation has solidified, and they regard Ninjutsu as their belief. But the next generation is different. I want them to know that Fire Release The essence of is a combustion reaction, and Lightning Release is the directional movement of electrons. I want the future Konoha to become a cyber-ninja village integrating Ninjutsu, science, and theology."
Amado's fingers holding the cigarette paused. "Cyber Ninja Village? What are you guarding against? With the current strength of our experimental base and Konoha, as long as we are equipped with the "weapons" we have prepared, it is only a matter of time before we overwhelm the other four major Ninja Villages."
Senju Chen raised his head and looked through the thick basement ceiling, seemingly looking at the endless starry sky.
The Four Ninja Villages? Haha.
Shinobi World is just a quagmire. The real enemies are those monsters in the sky who regard the planet as a nursery and life as nourishment.
Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Senju Chen knows better than anyone else what kind of terrifying cosmic race we will face in the future. Without technology and power beyond modern times, how can we fight against those monsters that are prone to exploding stars?
Amado was silent. He saw a kind of absolute sanity and madness in Senju Chen's eyes.
"It's up to you." Amado put out the cigarette butt. "As long as you provide enough experimental materials and funds, I can blow up the moon for you."
Damn it, you old man, the moon is not going to blow up.
Amado's words shocked Senju Chen. Senju Chen's serious face made him immediately give up this unrealistic idea, and directly drove Amado to write lesson plans with a dark face.
It made Amado look confused. I was just bragging. How could you take it seriously!!!
Konoha, Training Ground Three.
The sun was blazing in the sky. Might Guy stood upside down, using only his two thumbs to support his body, and was undergoing extreme training for the 500th lap around the field. Sweat dripped down his chin and hit the dry soil.
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight! Nine hundred and ninety-nine! One thousand!"
Kai landed firmly with a backflip, steaming all over his body, and showing his iconic big white teeth. "The sweat of youth will never let down those who work hard!"
He was just about to do the next set of squats when he caught a glimpse of a figure walking from the edge of the training ground.
Silver broom head, black mask, and a standard Konoha Jonin vest.
"Kakashi!" Kai's eyes lit up, and he rushed over instantly, bringing up a gust of wind. "You guys, you finally came back from that secret training! Come on! As my lifelong rival, let's have the 216th youth duel!"
According to past practice, Kakashi would have taken out a copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" at this time, looked at him with dead fish eyes, and then said perfunctorily "I have no time today" or "I am lost on the road of life."
But today, Kakashi didn't pick up a book.
He stopped and looked at Might Guy quietly.
Might Guy was stunned for a moment. His keen animal instinct noticed something was wrong.
The Kakashi in front of me has changed.
The iconic pair of dead fish eyes were gone, replaced by a calmness as deep as an abyss. He stood there without any unnecessary movements, and even the rhythm of his breathing was extremely weak. The whole person was like a knife in a sheath, with a restrained edge, but it made people feel a biting danger.
What surprised Kai even more was the extra short blade on Kakashi's waist. The one he had given up before - White Fang.
During his time at the experimental base, Kakashi was not only injected with a variety of medicines, which increased his physical strength and Chakra's strength exponentially. More importantly, he met his father Hatake Sakumo, who had been "dead for many years", and Rin Nohara.
The knot in my heart was untied and my state of mind changed. Following my father, I picked up Hatake Swordsmanship again. Now Kakashi has completely said goodbye to the "Copy Ninja" who relied on Sharingan to survive.
"Okay." Kakashi spoke, his voice was steady, without any trace of laziness. "The 216th duel. Kai, you attack first."
Kai's blood was instantly ignited. "You are indeed my lifelong opponent! Take the move! Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Bang!
A shallow pit exploded on the ground. Kai's figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared directly above Kakashi's head the next second. With a terrifying sound of breaking through the air, Kai's right leg hit Kakashi's shoulder hard.
No Hand Seals, no back.
Kakashi just raised his left hand casually.
Boom!
The air waves rolled and dust flew.
Kai's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. His blow, which was enough to break rocks, was caught firmly by Kakashi with one hand!
Kakashi's left hand clasped Kai's calf like an iron pincer. The ground under his feet cracked like a spider web due to the huge impact, but his body did not even sway.
"How is this possible?!" Kai was shocked in his heart. When did Kakashi possess this level of physical strength?
"The speed is good, but the strength is a bit lacking." Kakashi commented lightly, and threw Kai directly with a flick of his left hand.
Kai rolled twice in the air and landed firmly. He put away his usual laughter and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Kakashi, it seems that this special training has transformed you. In this case, I must show my true strength to respond to your youth!"
Kai crossed his fists in front of him, and Chakra surged crazily in his body.
"Eight Gates Released Formation! The third door·Gate of Life, open!"
Green Chakra steam rose from Kai's body surface. His skin was red and veins popped out. The air was slightly distorted by this huge energy.
Whoosh!
Kai's speed increased dramatically after turning on Gate of Life, and his figure could no longer be captured by the naked eye. Only the afterimages and harsh sonic booms caused by his high-speed movement were left in the entire training ground.
"Reverse Lotus!"
