Ascension failed, the system took me away

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

Nuruyi, who evacuated from the border of the Fire Nation, finally returned here after several days of travel.

The operation failed, and the unknown ultra-long-range attack left a big shadow on him.

I haven't dared to return to the ground these days due to the rush of travel.

When you are tired, find an underground cave to rest.

After taking care of my food, drink, defecation and urination, I didn't dare to stay for long.

The ninja tool bag Moi gave him contained a lot of supplies.

Relying on the consumption of a large amount of ration pills, Nuruyi continued to rush back to the village uninterruptedly.

The moment I saw the gate of the Cloud Ninja Village, my tense nerves finally relaxed.

He let out a long sigh and fainted outside the village gate. He was found by a ninja on guard and sent to the village hospital.

During this process, the identity information was verified and was known to the Yunyin Dark Department at the first time.

All of his belongings were gathered up and taken to the Raikage's office.

Among them was the information that Vice Captain Ray had written down on the spur of the moment.

The handwriting is illegible, which shows that it was written in a hurry.

But the sudden encounter was still reported in a clear and logical manner.

The burly Fourth Raikage had a gloomy expression on his face.

As he read the report in his hand word by word, his dark face seemed to become even darker.

"An ultra-long-range attack launched beyond perception? Just this little thing?"

He picked up a piece of metal fragment with his sturdy fingers, frowned, and looked a little unbelievable.

That was what Moi dug out from the bomb crater at the risk of his life before ordering the evacuation.

I looked left and right but still couldn't understand it.

The Fourth Raikage threw one away.

A man standing nearby with an eyepatch on his left eye reached out to catch it.

He is one of the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Raikage's right-hand man.

The reviewer of Jueniu Leili Redao.

Melting Escape Blood Successor Limit Ninja, Tutai.

Tutai took the metal fragments and examined them carefully, and was able to make out some clues.

"This thing... seems to be bullet fragments?" Tutai hesitated.

He also knew about weapons like pistols.

I remember that when it appeared before, a special investigation was conducted.

However, due to the poor craftsmanship and the fact that it is still in a relatively primitive stage, the cost is also relatively high.

Moreover, the production of handmade bullets is very low.

The quality varies and problems are extremely easy to occur.

Due to its high cost and instability, this weapon is not widely used among ninjas.

The mid- and lower-level ninjas can't afford it, and the upper-level ninjas don't need it.

After all, guns can malfunction, but shurikens cannot.

"Dodai, do you know this thing?" asked the Fourth Raikage.

Dodai nodded, then rummaged through the filing cabinets in the office.

Finally, I pulled out a document from a few years ago.

"Lord Raikage should know about pistols. The fragments of the bullets fired from such weapons are similar to this piece of metal."

"We investigated it when we were expanding our armaments before, and the Logistics Department bought it specifically for testing, but it was eliminated for various reasons."

The Fourth Raikage frowned even deeper as he looked at the document in his hand.

According to the data above, the two are completely different things.

The pistol tested has a striking range of less than 50 meters, and it loses accuracy if it is farther away.

The attack power is not strong either.

Ninjas who are slightly proficient in physical skills can rely on the protective gear on their bodies to resist.

Moreover, in the test, failures occurred 10 out of 4 attacks on average.

The cartridge jams, the ammunition misfires, or even explodes.

Its ability to withstand pressure is also poor, and it is easy to misfire when encountering the humid environment created by water escape.

The bullets will explode when facing the interference of Fire and Lightning, and are extremely unstable.

The most important thing is that after firing the gun, the user will be covered with the smell of gunpowder that is difficult to remove.

It is not conducive to evacuation and is easy to be tracked.

Because of these reasons, it was not included in the ninja equipment.

"These data are too far apart. The attack distance alone is completely different. Tutai, are you sure?"

The Fourth Raikage threw the documents in his hand with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Tu Tai stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Lord Raikage, this is data from a few years ago. We cannot rule out the possibility that Konoha has focused on researching this type of weapon in recent years and has made a major breakthrough."

“Just like their high-yield seeds, I had never heard of them before.”

Then he dug out another document with a hand-drawn image of a mechanical spider on it.

"Some time ago, a machine appeared in Konoha Village. It looked like a spider puppet, and its function was unknown."

"But what matters is the identity of the operator."

Dodai pulled out a character profile from the file and handed it to the Raikage.

"Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of Uchiha clan leader Fugaku, and there were Anbu around to maintain order. This unknown machine was eventually transported to Konoha's school."

The Fourth Raikage was confused by what he heard.

Aren't we talking about Konoha's super long-range attack? Why did we get here?

"Does it matter?"

Although he was doubtful, he still believed in Tutai's brain.

"Lord Raikage, the conflict between the faction represented by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Uchiha may not be known to ordinary ninjas, but it is no secret to the intelligence agencies of various countries."

"From the people transporting it, we can infer that the machine is an important piece of equipment."

"But during the transportation process, the Uchiha and the Anbu directly under the Hokage joined forces, and the final destination was Konoha School."

"Schools are important institutions for the village to train the younger generation. No matter which village they are in, they are directly under the management of the Ying."

At this point, the Fourth Raikage also heard something wrong.

His big, strong fingers tapped on the stone tabletop as he sorted out the words on the platform.

"That old fellow Sarutobi Hiruzen is transporting a very important machine to the school."

"The main person controlling the transportation is an Uchiha who is at odds with his faction?"

The Fourth Raikage suddenly realized.

He slammed the table hard, leaving a hole in the hard stone surface.

"This is indeed a bit strange, what do you think, Tutai?"

Tutai turned his head to avoid the flying debris.

Looking at the Raikage who didn't think at all, he continued speaking helplessly.

"Our knowledge of Konoha's intelligence is limited to before the Konoha population registration."

"During that time, all our eyeliners were washed away, and I guess it was the same in other villages."

"However, based on the information we have, it is possible that major changes have occurred within Konoha, with power becoming more centralized and internal factional conflicts suppressed."

"After all, the implementation of some of their policies will infringe upon the interests of the ninja clan, and it is impossible to do so without a high degree of centralization."

Dodai paused, looked at the Raikage who was listening attentively, and continued.

"So, back to the topic at the beginning, Konoha may have completed the transformation in secret long ago."

"The power of all ninja clans has been integrated and has been developing quietly over the years."

"It has only recently begun to show its true colors. High-yield crops, ultra-long-range weapons, and the unknown machine at Konoha School are all results."

Tutai's inference seems to make sense.

But the Fourth Raikage shook his head.

"It's not that easy to centralize power. The power of our Kumogakure is already concentrated enough, but we can't integrate all the ninja clans and make them ignore the interests of their clans and focus on developing the village."

Ask yourself.

If the Fourth Raikage were in the position of the Ninja Clan.

He thought that he was not capable of doing such a thing and sacrificing himself for the village.
