While the Ninja Hawk flew back and forth between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, discussing the specific terms, the final conditions were finally settled.
"Is this kind of Mukai acceptable?"
Konoha simply Danzo from view; there was no real punishment.
In response to Elder Chiyo's question, Mukai grinned:
"Grandma, I never really expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to punish Danzo."
If he could have made that kind of decisive decision, Konoha wouldn't be in this state now.
I would be very happy if Konoha could agree to even one of these three conditions.
Look, in order to protect Shimura Danzō, the once-powerful Shinobi Hero has even stopped daring to go to the battlefield.
The current Konoha is nothing but a scattered mess ruled by a group of corrupt politicians.
With other major powers locked in fierce battles, this presents us with our best opportunity for development.
I'm going to Konoha, I'll be back soon, don't worry.
Chiyo was still somewhat worried:
" Mukai, you are now the hope of the village, the most important jade in the village."
The Elders Council has decided that once Third Shinobi World War ends, they will formally recommend you to become the Fourth Kazekage.
"Is it really necessary for you to go on such a dangerous mission in person?"
Mukai and flicked his wrist, instantly unfurling a massive storage scroll behind him.
As the white smoke dissipated, a silver object with a white and blue color scheme appeared on the open ground.
"Grandma, this is the latest achievement of my and Scorpion's collaborative work, utilizing Chakra Metal and 'biomimetic variable structure science'— the War God Mecha!"
Chiyo squinted, carefully examining the metal object she had never seen before.
Even when static, it is full of power and beauty.
To a modern eye, the War God Mecha in this state looks like a model-painted J-20 fighter jet.
The fuselage, approximately fourteen meters long, boasts sharp lines, and the ion-sprayed metal exterior appears soft even under the desert sun.
Unlike the ordinary puppets commonly seen in Sunagakure, which bear the marks of wind and sand wear, this one is exquisitely crafted, like a work of art.
"It looks like the flying vehicles you used to make, like the Crow, much more fancy than that Scorpion kid's puppet."
It must be very heavy, right? It probably won't be easy to control using Chakra Threads.
Why is it called a mecha?
Chiyo offered a noncommittal assessment, her tone carrying the characteristic pickiness of an older generation of puppeteers.
Mukai smiled slightly and offered no explanation.
He patted the War God Mecha and said using voice commands:
"Start, War God Komushi! Regular power preheating."
Buzz--!
A deep, powerful humming sound emanated from inside the " War God " mech.
It wasn't the roar of an engine, but rather a resonance of energy poised to be unleashed.
Some patterns on the fuselage surface glowed with a faint blue light, which were traces of energy flow.
"Its heart is a super magnetic energy storage ring based on our newly synthesized room-temperature superconducting Chakra Metal."
Mukai explained, "Instantly releasing a massive amount of Chakra to power the entire system..."
It can also be powered by conventional supercapacitors, with virtually no risk of energy decay or explosion.
Chiyo's brow furrowed slightly. As a top-tier puppeteer, she knew all too well what a stable and powerful energy source meant.
Traditional Chakra batteries or sealed energy sources suffer from unstable output or limited battery life.
"First phase demonstration begins, fighter jet mode."
The War God does not use tires to glide, but instead levitates about two meters above the ground using multiple vertical nozzles.
Suddenly, two streams of azure blue, almost pure energy particles shot out from the tail nozzle of the " War God ".
With a sharp whooshing sound, the machine was propelled forward as if by an invisible giant hand, accelerating instantly and speeding along the runway.
In just a few seconds, it deftly raised its nose and soared into the sky!
The intelligent agent, Komushi, was assigned twelve computing nodes to control the War God Mecha, and its skill in controlling it was comparable to that of a seasoned pilot!
Its speed is astonishing, and it performs all sorts of incredible maneuvers in the air:
Sharp turns, rolls, vertical climbs, and dives.
Unlike its predecessor, which was constrained by the thrust and aerodynamic layout of fighter jets, the Shinobi World version's flight maneuvers were as fluid as a living thing, completely surpassing Chiyo's understanding of "flying puppets".
"Speed and mobility far surpass any known summoning beast or flying ninja tool."
If needed, it can break the speed of sound by more than twice for a short time!
Mukai explained calmly.
He can actually control the War God Mecha directly and without delay through his consciousness.
The aircraft-like mech, hovering in the air, suddenly accelerated, sending a tremendous roar past!
Looking at this familiar scene, Mukai felt a surge of longing. He had been in this world for so long without realizing it!
"Grandma, the high-energy electromagnetic cannon mounted on the War God Mecha can carry out precise strikes beyond visual range."
These aren't ordinary projectiles being fired!
As soon as he finished speaking, the multi-barreled electromagnetic cannon under the wings of the War God Mecha trembled slightly, and a silver bullet streaked across the sky, hitting a sand dune in the distance.
A blue-white arc of electricity exploded, completely erasing a section of the sand dune!
"This special projectile contains a miniature supercapacitor!"
Chiyo didn't speak, but simply tilted her head back, her gaze fixed on the War God drew a graceful trajectory in the blue sky.
"Now, let's show the enhanced ground effect morphology, which I also call the Viking morphology."
A fallen Viking is no better than a chicken!
Unfortunately, Chiyo didn't understand this reference.
The " War God " in the air suddenly began a dazzling transformation!
The midsection of the fuselage emitted a crisp metallic clanging sound, and the legs extended from the lower part of the fuselage and spread downwards, maintaining a certain flight angle.
At the same time, the arms extended from both sides of the fuselage, and the huge palms and knuckles were clearly visible.
The entire machine transformed into a peculiar form somewhere between a fighter jet and a robot, resembling a giant mechanical insect.
It can instantly switch from high-speed flight to low-speed hovering, and can even make small lateral movements and turns in place in the air.
The multi-barreled electromagnetic cannons on both arms can be pointed flexibly in various directions.
The Viking-style War God Mecha hovered behind Mukai, moving left and right as he waved his arms, aiming at different places.
"This configuration is suitable for low-speed reconnaissance, fire suppression, and vertical takeoff and landing in complex environments."
It compensates for the lack of maneuverability in close-range combat in fighter jet form, provides mid-range battlefield control, and can also provide a buffer for the final transformation.
Mukai's voice remained calm. " War God, fire!"
The War God Mecha, leaning towards the ground, hummed and roared as the multi-barreled electromagnetic cannons on its arms beneath its wings crackled to life!
A hail of metal projectiles rained down!
Like a torrential downpour!
"Grandma, these are ordinary electromagnetic cannon projectiles. They use metal balls from sealed scrolls as bullets and are powered by electricity."
Of course, it can also be switched to a supercapacitor pellet the size of a finger.
Chiyo's breathing quickened slightly.
This ability to freely switch postures in the air will provide an unparalleled advantage in urban warfare or mountain warfare.
Finally, there's its ultimate form—the Assault Robot Mode!
The War God's form, hovering in mid-air, underwent another dramatic transformation!
Its legs were fully extended when it landed with a heavy thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The main fuselage folds upwards and reassembles, with the cockpit perfectly embedded in the chest cavity.
A majestic mechanical head rises from the folded structure, its optical sensors emitting a sharp red light.
Two robotic arms are equipped with multi-barreled electromagnetic cannons, while a cylindrical device with an exaggerated water-cooling system flips out from behind!
And behind the mecha, there were five plate-like fin-like things!
In just seven or eight seconds, that streamlined fighter jet had transformed into a steel giant standing thirteen meters tall!
It stands majestically in the center of this open space, its lines sharp and powerful.
It creates a strong visual impact against the surrounding desolate desert backdrop.
The robot form of " War God " begins its demonstration.
It took a step, and the earth trembled slightly; its steps were steady and agile.
It swung its mechanical arm, assuming a fighting stance, so fast that it left afterimages.
Besides the multi-barreled electromagnetic cannons on his arms, the strange cylinders on his shoulders revealed hidden firing ports.
An invisible laser beam was fired at the distant sand and gravel, and soon the stone began to smoke, burning a hole in it.
In drill mode, there's no need for full power output.
"Superior defense, close-quarters combat, ability to traverse complex terrain, pinpoint elimination... it perfectly combines the advantages of the air with the power of the ground."
Mukai looked at the steel giant made of Chakra Metal, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible fanaticism.
This is not its complete form yet.
With his back to the open cockpit of the War God Mecha, Mukai stretched out his arms horizontally and slowly flew into the cockpit, relying solely on the repulsive force with an effective distance of over ten meters.
"When he and I are combined, we form the complete entity!"
