One week later.
The President's Office.
Yuzuru sat in the chair, looking at Mei Terumi straddling his lap and constantly tempting him, his face full of helplessness.
"It's working time now, my dear President."
"I'm the president, I can do whatever I want!"
Mikoto and Mabui both acted as if they hadn't seen anything.
They were used to it by now.
"Didn't I satisfy you last night?"
Yuzuru lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"It's because I fed you well last night that I can't bear to part with you today."
Mei Terumi said with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Alright, focus on your work. I'll reward you handsomely in a couple of days."
After getting up and pressing Mei Terumi into a chair, Yuzuru lowered his head and kissed her on the lips before immediately leaving.
Mei Terumi licked her lips, narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and immediately entered work mode.
As for Yuzuru, he went to Orochimaru's laboratory.
" Yuzuru- kun."
Orochimaru saw Yuzuru and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then led him to his laboratory.
Looking at the various mechanical devices that resembled prosthetic limbs, a hint of surprise flashed in Yuzuru's eyes.
"What are these?"
"In my spare time, I've been developing new mechanical prosthetics. Although they're still in the experimental stage, each one is a powerful weapon. They're equipped with dozens of Ninjutsu storage slots and can even release miniature Chakra Cannon."
"You..."
Hearing this, Yuzuru didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It can only be said that Orochimaru always manages to come up with something new and interesting.
However, what's even more important is that these mechanical prosthetics seem to be able to be assembled into a single unit.
"You want to try a mechanical body?"
Yuzuru looked at him suspiciously.
"That's the idea."
Orochimaru did not deny it.
Although White Zetsu's body had granted him immortality, as a mad scientist, he was not satisfied with the status quo, especially after learning that there were even more terrifying enemies beyond the Shinobi World and beyond Earth.
"I knew it. I don't believe you, Orochimaru, would be so kind as to create prosthetic limbs."
"However, these prosthetics are indeed quite good. After all, some people will always lose their limbs in accidents, and being able to have them again is a good thing. It's just that these prosthetics need to be weakened so that they can't be used with Ninjutsu or Chakra."
"I understand, of course."
Orochimaru nodded, then showed the initial experimental model: a mechanical leg with no distinguishing features.
Although it's described as a machine, it's actually encased in White Zetsu Cells.
"This is what I originally created. It has no special abilities; it can only serve as a substitute for a person's hands and feet, just like a normal limb."
"Have you tried it?"
Yuzuru looked at the White Zetsu Cells at the end of the prosthetic leg.
"Um."
"You're ruthless; you'll use yourself as an experiment without hesitation."
Yuzuru sighed for him once again.
"Speaking of which, I've already created a completely new body, Yuzuru- kun, take a look."
Orochimaru led Yuzuru inside the laboratory, where a mechanical body lay quietly on the experimental table, surrounded by various robotic arms that were constantly testing and maintaining it.
"However, there is still one regrettable problem."
"What?"
Yuzuru looked at the mechanical body and asked.
"Eye!"
"Um?"
"While this body is remarkable, the problem now is that I don't have eyes worthy of it; a normal visual system simply isn't enough."
Orochimaru handed over a prosthetic eye and said, "This eye can perform basic data analysis, but other than that, it's basically the same as surveillance, maybe with the added functions of a telescope and thermal imaging technology."
"Isn't that enough?"
Yuzuru took the prosthetic eye and examined it.
" Yuzuru- kun, you know I want more perfect eyes. This body should be able to use all elemental Chakra and all bloodline Ninjutsu except for physical ones, such as Wood Release Ice Release. Even Dust Release, a Kekkei Tōta technique, is possible. For a body like this, ordinary eyes are simply not enough."
"Is it ordinary? With its ultra-long-range vision and thermal imaging, it's already on par with most of the Byakugan in the Hyuga Clan on the battlefield."
Yuzuru looked at him and said.
What if I said I also Sharingan's abilities?
Orochimaru looked at him and shared his thoughts.
Yuzuru didn't rush to answer, but sighed, "You're as greedy as ever."
"However, I promised you."
"I knew Yuzuru- kun would agree."
Orochimaru said with a smile.
" The Byakugan and Sharingan aren't difficult for me; they're available in Konoha."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru also became excited.
"But not now."
"It's alright, as long as Yuzuru- kun agrees, I believe I can get it even if it's late."
With his gaze returning to the mechanical body on the experimental table, Yuzuru couldn't help but marvel once again at Orochimaru's genius.
Flesh and blood ache, but machinery soars!
"By the way, the new Chakra- guided cannon has been successfully developed. The experimental data from last time is here. The combat range is about two kilometers, and the kill radius is more than five meters. This is the optimal range. Beyond that, the Chakra will dissipate. Although it will still be effective, it won't be as exaggerated."
Orochimaru continued.
"That's pretty good. The furthest those people in the Shinobi World can fight is 800 meters away. By the time the Kunai Kunai someone, they're already exhausted."
"Throwing Kunai from 800 meters away? Would anyone really do something so pointless? The effective killing range of Kunai is only one or two hundred meters, and at that distance, the Kunai can barely react; it's not like we have muskets."
Orochimaru chuckled.
"Well, in the Shinobi World, nothing is surprising, don't you think?"
"That's true, a backward world that hasn't seen any development for decades or even centuries."
Orochimaru nodded.
"By the way, how's the development of that thing going?"
Yuzuru continued to ask.
"I have to say, Yuzuru- kun, you're a genius. Using the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, combined with the new power unit, you managed to make something that big fly into the sky."
Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Just flying isn't enough. Don't forget, that thing isn't just for show."
"Don't worry, Yuzuru- kun. The experiments are progressing steadily. Currently, the ship is over 200 meters long, has a wingspan of 600 meters, and is equipped with over 300 super-energy-concentrating cannons, as well as various large Chakra- charging cannons. This giant sky battleship, weighing 100,000 tons, has successfully completed its sea trial phase. The only problem is charging. Although the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique has solved many issues, this sky behemoth still weighs over 70,000 tons."
"Energy is indeed a problem."
Yuzuru was not surprised at all.
Although Chakra is a universal energy source, and everyone in the Sea Capital and the Land of Water has learned how to refine Chakra and sells some of it from time to time, the consumption of Chakra Chakra still considerable.
