Led by Kyōai Choji, Temari, Kankuro arrived at the storage room that was usually used for storing the Mining Type One. The storage room was built into the cliff face and was very spacious, reaching a height of ten meters.
Choji, munching on potato chips with anticipation, asked, " Kyōai- kun, I heard from the Lord Hokage that your Nuclear Ninja Village is a technology-driven ninja village. Tenten has been clamoring to come over."
"Technology?" Temari scoffed. "A ninja's strength primarily depends on their ability to control Chakra; ninja tools are merely supplementary."
Kankuro said calmly, " Temari, your statement isn't entirely accurate. Proficient use of ninja tools is also a practical skill. My puppets, strictly speaking, are also a type of ninja tool."
Kyōai chuckled, "If your own strength is powerful enough, wouldn't you be even stronger with the help of ninja tools? The ninja tools manufactured by our Nuclear Ninja Village are technological ninja tools that can bring about a revolution in ninja tools. Alright, feel the power of technology!"
Kyōai slowly pushed open the door to the storage room, Temari and the others were somewhat puzzled when they saw the items inside.
The Mining Type One brought from the Land of Spring in the storage room was distributed to the miners. Only on the central stone table were a few scrolls neatly arranged, each with the names of several people written crookedly on it.
Lord God: "(_) So when did you take it?"
Kyōai naturally knew what was in the scroll. She first picked up the scroll with Temari's name on it, and after unfolding it, she conjured a giant iron fan.
The giant fan is similar in shape and weight to the Three Star Fan Temari is currently using, except that it has three Chakra Furnace on its ribs. "This is Great Sickle Weasel our chief technician of the Nuclear Ninja Village specially tailored for you."
Temari took the Great Sickle Weasel and asked, "What is this thing? It doesn't look special."
Kyōai chuckled, " The Great Sickle Weasel Fan possesses three Chakra Furnace, each capable of independently using three C-rank Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Senbon, Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique, and Water Release: Water Rain. Each can be used twice when the Chakra Furnace are fully charged. When combined with your Wind Release, it will unleash tremendous power."
Temari slowly unfolded the Great Sickle Weasel, its fan surface not much different from the Three Star Fan: "What kind of ninja tool is this? And what is the Chakra Furnace?"
Kyōai slowly picked up the second scroll with Kankuro's name on it. " The Chakra Furnace is the core technology of our Nuclear Ninja Village. We store Chakra in the furnace using special methods, then activate it by injecting a small amount of Chakra through a special technique, allowing us to release Ninjutsu on our own."
"Call!"
Temari attempted to inject a small amount of Chakra into the first Chakra Furnace inscribed with the character for "fire." The first star of the Great Sickle Weasel Fan lit up, and its surface blazed with scorching flames that condensed into a dragon's head shape in the air. "It really is the Dragon Fire Technique! It's truly amazing!"
"Peng."
It is a puppet, basically humanoid in shape, two meters tall, with sharp features, equipped with black armor covering its entire body, holding a square shield in its left hand and a samurai sword in its right hand, with many cylinders at its joints.
Kyōai began to explain, "The top technician of the Nuclear Ninja Village is most skilled in mechanical arts. This puppet is called Zaku Type One, one of his four most prized prototypes."
Kankuro, the puppeteer, was first astonished by the exquisite craftsmanship of the Zaku Type One, then frowned. "This puppet looks like it's all metal. If it's too heavy, the puppeteer can't use it."
Kyōai nodded, stepped forward, and pointed to the cylinders on the Zaku Type One: "That's right. Currently, all puppets in the Shinobi World are made of a rare wood that is hard and lightweight, so that puppeteers can easily manipulate them. But look at these cylinders on the joints."
Kankuro stepped forward to examine it and discovered that at least twenty cylinders were hidden inside the entire Zaku Type One: "This is..."
Kyōai, "I'm not a puppeteer, but I know you can definitely use it. Try using Chakra to control these areas."
Kankuro stretched out his right hand with some skepticism, and five Chakra were attached to the back of Zaku Type One.
"Boom!"
As if stimulated, the Zaku Type One emitted red flames from several cylinders on its body, and its body actually levitated into the air on its own.
Kankuro felt the weight on his fingertips. "What's going on! It's so much lighter than a normal puppet."
Kyōai chuckled, "Hehehe, this is the Chakra tool from the Nuclear Ninja Village. The Zaku Type One mimics the human body's structure. The power generated by the Fire Style Chakra emitted from these cylinders allows it to fly directly, compensating for its weight. However, due to the materials used, it can only reach two meters in height, even after sacrificing all mechanisms."
Kankuro tried swaying it left and right, and the cylinders on the Zaku Type One's body would sometimes fire and sometimes extinguish with the movement. "It's simply genius! Completely different from traditional puppets. Although there's some delay in reaction speed, it's already a revolutionary product!"
Choji stared at the Zaku Type One with stars in his eyes. "Damn! So cool, so badass!"
Kankuro stopped controlling it, returning the Zaku Type One to its original position and shaking his head in disbelief. "However, if it's powered by the Chakra Furnace you just mentioned, this puppet probably can't last long."
Kyōai nodded in agreement. "If it runs at maximum power, the Zaku Type One I can only last for two hours now. Chief Technician Shelin has been seeking advice from excellent puppeteers. Kankuro, I hope you can offer any suggestions during use. Shelin- sama will be very grateful."
Kankuro understood the principle of "he who takes a gift is bound to be grateful": "Well, since you're so sincere, I won't be stingy."
Choji leaned closer, somewhat impatiently. " Kyōai- kun, what's mine!"
Kyōai unfurled the scroll. "As for Choji- kun, the gift Lord Shelin prepared for you is truly remarkable."
"Really!"
Temari and Kankuro both looked at the scroll in Kyōai's hand, wanting to know what other technologies the Nuclear Ninja Village possessed.
"Peng."
Choji was somewhat disappointed to see that the scroll only contained a pair of arm guards. "This... is just a pair of arm guards?"
Seeing Kyōai's expression, Choji simply smiled and put the arm guards on Choji's arms, "These arm guards can be said to be among the most exquisite ninja tools in the Nuclear Ninja Village. Your Akimichi Clan's secret technique can enlarge the body, but it has certain limitations. To complement the Multi-Size Technique, each arm guard hides a Chakra Furnace, inscribed with the formulas of different Ninjutsu: Lightning Release: Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which can activate the body, and Earth Release: Hardening Technique, which increases strength."
Just as Choji was about to speak, the door opened, and Hongshi stood there, his eyes gleaming with fervent light as he stared at the Zaku Type One in the storage room. "Holy crap, Zaku! My Zaku! A man's romance!"
Without a word, he charged towards the Zaku Type One. Kyo Kyōai shouted, " Kankuro, put the Zaku away immediately! Hongshi is going crazy!"
"Give me a Zaku."
Even in its normal state, Hongshi's running speed was still incredibly slow, and it could only watch helplessly as the Zaku was retrieved into the scroll.
Hongshi grabbed Kyōai's collar. "I want one too! I want one too, I want a bigger one!!!"
Kyōai took off her straw hat to shield herself from the Hongshi's mouth, and said helplessly, " Hongshi-kun, please calm down. Due to power and material issues, the Zaku can only be made up to two meters tall, which is shorter than you."
"Thump!"
Hongshi knelt on the ground, roaring to the sky, "No! I want a Gundam!"
The Lord God: "Heh, impossible."
