The next day, Mei Terumi and the others saw the advanced technology Orochimaru had created, they were just as dumbfounded.
The previous equipment only changed the frontal firepower, but these new items directly overwhelmed the enemy in terms of intelligence and information.
Sea Capital the Scientific Ninja Tool and new weapons in Haidu, let's just talk about this real-time aerial observation capability.
Why is Konoha so strong? Why was it able to win so many wars?
Because Konoha has many geniuses and strong players?
No, no, no, that's only a small part of the reason.
The real reason is that Konoha has two terrifying clans with Dōjutsu, and an extremely powerful sensory ninja.
While a ninja's skill is indeed important, in war, most ninjas are either Chunin or Genin. Moreover, even Jonin, if ambushed, have almost no chance of survival. This highlights the crucial importance of intelligence.
Anticipating the enemy's moves and making advance preparations is always the first essential element of warfare.
Konoha not only possesses the Sharingan, but also the Byakugan, an incredibly powerful detection Dōjutsu. On almost any battlefield, a Byakugan user can be seen. They don't participate in the fighting, but they can play a far more absurd role than regular ninjas. As long as they can see far and clearly, Konoha's ninja forces are already invincible. Even if the difference in troop strength between the two sides is too great, they can detect it in advance and then retreat.
This is why Konoha always retains the largest number of living forces after each war.
If the Nine-Tails' Attack hadn't cost many ninjas their lives, and if Yuzuru hadn't appeared and taken away some of Konoha's strongest ninjas, Konoha's losses would have been even smaller.
This time, Orochimaru's Heavenly Eye is even more exaggerated than the Byakugan. This thing only needs to be launched into the air in advance, and no one will notice it. Moreover, even if they do notice it, they won't care, because they don't have that kind of awareness, and they certainly won't think that there is an eye in the sky watching their every move.
With this thing, it's like every action they take on the battlefield isn't just a blind cat stumbling upon a mouse, but a series of precise strikes with clear targets.
Each operation has a clear objective, location, and direction, and allows for real-time monitoring of enemy movements, which can change at any time.
This is understandable, as Yuzuru wanted to reform the Military Department.
After seeing this thing, Mei Terumi and the others felt relieved.
Back in her office, Mei Terumi immediately urged the heads of various military regions to return to Sea Capital for a meeting.
Although everyone was confused, they quickly boarded the improved Flying Thunder God Formation and returned to the Sea Capital, arriving at the conference room to prepare for a meeting.
Mei Terumi sat in the president's seat, with Mabui and Mikoto standing on either side of her behind her.
Minato, Kakashi, Pakura, Shisui, Zabuza, Kisame, and other high-ranking Military Department officials, including the Two-Tails Jinchūriki Yugito, the Three-Tails Jinchūriki Rin, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata arrived.
The conference room quickly filled up with people, while Yuzuru sat at the very back, quietly observing the meeting.
After Mei Terumi demonstrated Orochimaru's new equipment to everyone, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially those who had experienced war, who found it hard to believe.
Does such a thing really exist?
Minato and Pakura reacted particularly strongly, after all, they were survivors of the Third Shinobi World War and were also highly skilled players.
Because they are expert players, they know the nature of this thing.
This is a revolutionary technology that will change the way warfare is waged.
"Of course, it was developed by our chief scientist, Orochimaru. This meeting is also about it, as well as some other equipment."
Mei Terumi distributed the plan that Yuzuru had prepared and printed overnight to each of them.
"This is a completely new military reform. The old methods of combat are obsolete. As you have seen, our new weapons, new Scientific Ninja Tool for warfare, and the Heavenly Eye' —these things will bring about entirely new ways of fighting. The plan you have is the initial reform proposal."
Mei Terumi placed her hands on the table, her chin resting on her fingers:
"Of course, this is just a preliminary plan, just to give you a direction."
"Next, I'll give you a month to brainstorm and revise this plan. Military Island No. 6 will be improved next week. You can try out the new technologies and equipment, conduct simulated warfare, and then, based on your experience, I want to see the most suitable new combat method in a month."
"Whether it's special forces or regular troops, we need them!"
"Also, this information must be kept secret. Even during drills, you must not tell anyone else about the Heavenly Eye. Do you understand?"
"Clear!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone's eyes shone with enthusiasm.
There's no way around it, they absolutely adore this thing. It's like having the enemy's every move under your nose, allowing for crushing battle plans that can be modified at any time. Who wouldn't want to try it out in a desperate situation?
The meeting was short, as it was only a preliminary arrangement. The final plan would take time to be finalized. Yuzuru was only providing a direction; the final outcome would depend on their planning based on the actual situation.
Next, all we need to do is wait, wait for the day the fruit falls.
Meanwhile, in Konoha!
After several months of planning, the three major families, Ino-Shika-Cho, have secretly transferred most of their assets.
"So, shouldn't we leave now?"
Inoichi Yamanaka looked at Shikaku.
"Contact Shikamaru and Kirigakure first. Once everything is ready, we'll arrange for the clansmen to leave in batches. But remember, leave Shadow Clone as cover. As for how long we can keep it a secret, at least for another half month. By the time the villagers realize what's happening, we'll already be gone."
"Yes, that's right. Let's do as Shikaku says."
Everyone busied themselves again, and beneath the calm Konoha, an indescribable atmosphere was hidden.
A week later, Mei Terumi told Yuzuru about the Ino -Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Shikamaru also found him and asked for his help.
I'll be right back.
Without further ado, Yuzuru arrived at the place where he had arranged to meet the three major families: Ino-Shika-Cho.
"Mr. Lan, you've finally arrived."
Upon seeing Yuzuru wearing a mask, Shikaku immediately came to greet him.
"Is everyone here?"
"Yes."
"Then, put your arms around each other's shoulders, and I'll lead you away."
Seeing the three families supporting each other, Yuzuru nodded slightly.
It must be said that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are truly an inseparable group, able to leave together without hesitation.
With one Yuzuru on Shikaku's shoulder and the other on Choza's back, Yugen used the Flying Thunder God to take everyone away.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived in the Land of Water, where Minato and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Long time no see, Shikaku!"
Upon seeing a familiar face, Minato greeted him with a smile.
" Minato? As expected. Well then, Mr. Arashi, no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you Minazuki Yuzuru."
Shikaku gave a wry smile and turned to look at Yuzuru.
