The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

131The Death Knell of the Old Era

After visiting Konoha, Kira and his party finally came to Fangsuke's ninja shop. Showing strength to one's allies is a way to stabilize the alliance, not to mention that Kira is also a potential big customer. If Fang Zhu is smart enough to establish a relationship with him, he is likely to be able to get many orders, even if he does not sell wood. Ye restricted the export of armaments, and could also make a lot of money on things like kunai and shurikens.

"Tono Ninja Tool Shop" Unexpectedly, Kira actually made a sound of surprise after seeing the Tono family's signboard, "I have long heard that the Tono family's ninja tools are outstanding, but I didn't expect to see the talented designer himself today. ah"

Zoji who was present coughed twice in embarrassment. He really wanted to say that the so-called genius designer is next to you, not the cramped fat man in front of you.

Of the two guys in front of him, Fangsuke recognized Hattori Masashige. When he saw Sakichi and him placing Kira in the dominant position, he knew that this guy's identity was not simple.

Therefore, while lowering his eyes as low as possible, this guy kept scanning Zoji's direction, trying to figure out what was going on.

"This is Lord Kira from Kyoto."

"Oh." What kind of reaction is this? But you can't expect a scientific researcher to figure out things outside the laboratory.

"This man will be the pillar of the Fire Nation in the future, and the fate of the country will depend on him."

"Sakichi-kun said it." Even though it was helpful to hear it, Kira still had to show due humility.

"Then my lord is coming today"

"I just want to see the scenery of Konoha and take a look at the strength of the ninjas of various countries." After a pause, Kira continued, "But after meeting such an interesting guy like Saki, I am more interested in his friends." Besides, you are a ninja tool manufacturer that Kujo-sama highly respects, so I am very interested in seeing the strength of the Tono family."

"Haha, Kira-sama is ridiculous, but the Tono family's ninja tools are absolutely reliable." When it came to ninja tools, Fangsuke couldn't stop the car, so he was very unfortunate to be stepped on by Sakichi.

"Master Kira, the Fangsuke family's workshop is outside the village. It is just a retail store. However, there is a large shooting range down here for testing the effects of anti-soldier tools. If you are interested, you can go down and try it out. Let’s try out the concept ninja tool we designed.”

"Concept Tool"

"It is a product that has not been tested in actual combat and is only in the design stage. However, the potential of these ninja tools can be seen through experiments." Saki explained patiently.

Sakichi had discovered before that Master Kira had a strong interest in ninjutsu, but he was suppressed by his good upbringing. Coming to the Tono Ninja Tool Shop today is like the second generation of officials and rich people coming to the racecourse and shooting range in later generations. If they are not allowed to run horses, shoot guns, and get addicted to handcrafts, how can they be worthy of this visit?

What's more, Sakichi and Katasuke specialize in scientific ninja tools. If they need to use chakra, they will lose. This kind of thing is a no-threshold weapon. Compared with modern firearms, there is less recoil. It is simply a home trip. It is a must-have weapon for killing people, but it is overkill for coaxing children.

Therefore, Kira, who was full of interest, slowly walked towards the basement under the guidance of Fang Zhu.

Masashige, who was falling behind, quickened his pace and started to bite Sakichi's ears: "You are just taking us to waste time in Konoha."

"Yeah" Zoji looked outside the store hesitantly.

"Don't worry, those guys squatting on the roof can't hear what we say at this distance."

"Hey, we are just a cooperative relationship, there is no need to push me so hard." He is really a rich landlord, and he doesn't give the long-term workers a chance to breathe. "Besides, I didn't waste my time."

"Isn't it a waste of time now? According to the intelligence we have received, the most important thing we should do now is to visit these ninjas from other ninja villages who have come to Konoha and form an alliance."

"Hey, hey, sir, have you made a mistake in your plan this time? There is no alliance at all, and we will not join forces with any force here. All we need to do is choose the weakest one. If we really want to talk about allies if we bite our prey to death, Konoha should be considered our ally. After all, we need it to weaken the physical strength of these prey."

Speaking of this, I was speechless for a while. After all, the entire plan was formulated by Sakichi and he was the one who convinced Kujo. As the executors of the plan, although the Hattori brothers knew a lot, they were not comprehensive enough.

"That also requires gathering intelligence."

Is it necessary to collect intelligence for time travellers? In a short time, Sakichi can create a file for Konoha and even make clear arrangements for when these ninjas will die.

It was obvious that Hattori and his two guys were nervous in front of such a huge plan. This was no longer the level they had been exposed to before. On weekdays, what they mostly did was bully bandits, attack rebellious ninjas, and at most defend the border. This time's plan ranges from destroying villages to destroying countries. It is as intense as a ninja war.

Being able to participate in such an event is also a challenge for Hattori.

"Alright, I didn't come here to waste time." What Sakichi needs to do now is to comfort his allies, "This is the top ninja shop in Konoha, and I personally designed a novel protective gear for the third generation. "

"Designing protective gear" was simply not doing his job properly, but Zhengsheng realized in an instant, "This has something to do with the assassination of the third generation."

"Otherwise, what do you think?" The most important condition for Sakichi to convince Kujo is to successfully assassinate the third generation. This dovish leader of Konoha is no longer in the interest of the Fire Nation, and is the biggest obstacle to his penetration of Konoha. Most of the old-school people are like this. Although they lack the awareness of innovation, they do a good job in maintaining the status quo. Although the third generation failed to represent the interests of the Senju clan, they continued the policies of the first and second generations. It is precisely this that makes people like Kujo who are eager to rise to the top hate their teeth. As long as the third generation is around, they will never be able to truly control the power of ninjas.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen's fame is also a very important factor. The first and second generations were already figures from the Warring States period. The third generation Hokage is the one who truly left an indelible memory for the Land of Fire.

In peacetime, just being proficient in the five chakra ninjutsu is scary enough. It seems that he is the only one who knows the art of continuous bombs. During his reign, he even won a ninja war and ushered in the heyday of Konoha. What's more important is that he has lived for too long. He is simply the spiritual symbol of Konoha. Even if he is old and frail and cannot represent Konoha's top combat power, as long as he exists for one day, most of Konoha's ninjas will be defeated. He "fooled" and united to deal with the outside world. Those speculators who wanted to profit from the war would have no chance.

Because of this, cutting down the flag of Konoha is not only Orochimaru's demand, but also the basis for the alliance of countries to formulate the basis for the collapse of Konoha. It is the demand of everyone around Konoha. No one wants to have a strong one. Neighbor. Just like Adolf's mustache, the role of a spiritual leader is often more terrifying than a ship's guns.

So after Sakichi said this, Hattori Masashige finally became interested: "So you have a comprehensive plan to assassinate the third generation."

Of course Sakichi did, he even knew who was being assassinated.

"certainly"

"But, are you planning to blow him up with protective gear? No, no, no, no, no, it's impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi not to notice it. Even if he doesn't notice it, the ANBU around him will definitely notice the problem, not to mention that there are members of the Hyuga family around him. people"

"That's a problem I need to solve" Is Saki so superficial?

"However, it is a good move for you to use the Tono family. Even if you don't succeed, as long as you don't admit it, they will have no way to prove that this matter is related to you. Even if they have doubts, they still need evidence. At the worst, it can cause Tono With the gap between home and Konoha, it would be great if we could push them towards Kyoto."

Zhengcheng, who was chattering, actually had so many things in his mind. Saki, who was walking in front, couldn't help but roll his eyes. Conspirators are not born, they are acquired thinking patterns, and they can think in the direction of conspiracy no matter what.

"Although it is a good thing to think about defeat before victory, thinking too much will hinder your decisiveness and do big things. The most taboo is hesitation. Since I have decided to assassinate the third generation, I will use my hands regardless of whether he wears the things I designed. The sharp blade pierced his body." Within a few words, he had reached the basement, and Zoji made a gesture to silence himself. Some things were not suitable for Fang Zhu to hear, and Zhengcheng also cooperated and kept his mouth shut, but he could still see doubts in his eyes, and it was obvious that the things he was thinking in his mind had not stopped.

Because Sakichi and Masashige walked too slowly, Kira had already tried out scientific ninja tools under Fangsuke's guidance.

I saw a glove-like thing wrapped around Kira's hand, which was somewhat similar to the cheating tool Boruto had used, but it was obviously not that sophisticated, a little bloated, and lacked concealment.

But this did not prevent Kira from being curious about the new toy. He put this glove-like thing on his left hand and it seemed to be fixing it.

Saki walked in and heard Fangsuke explaining the function of this equipment: "This is a prop to help ninjas launch shurikens. This knob is used to set the angle of rotation of the shurikens, and this button is used to adjust itself. By simply measuring the distance to the obstacle, the user can launch one or several shurikens with a huge rotation range, bypass the obstacle and attack the opponent. And through the steel cable in the ninja tool, the user can The shuriken is given a high speed that exceeds the speed of throwing. For a ninja who encounters this kind of equipment for the first time, it is almost a sure-fire existence."

After all, manpower is limited. If you want to manually throw shurikens at large angles like Uchiha Itachi, in addition to accumulated practice, you also need a lot of theoretical knowledge, and you need to have a certain talent in the use of ninja tools. . If only a few people out of ten thousand can achieve it, the probability is not small. Now what Sakichi and Fangsuke are doing is to use props to make ninjas easily become masters of ninja tools.

As for the principle, it is to apply force in various directions to the shuriken and add rotation to make the shuriken fly out of the prescribed trajectory. It seems to be slightly different from the props used by Boruto. One is through chakra, while Saki's method is purely physical. That's why this piece of equipment seems a little bloated. According to Sakichi's idea, this thing will eventually be made into the size of a firearm, with continuous and single-shot modes, and become the standard equipment of ninjas.

It is still in the experimental stage, and the shortcomings are obvious. Due to the use of a large number of gears and drive belts, and even the need to provide mechanical acceleration, this piece of equipment is highly sophisticated. If you encounter a bump, even if it doesn't malfunction, it is easy to have changes in range measurement and ballistics. Ninjas are a flexible unit, and their targets are not big. The shuriken they shoot will miss by a thousand miles, unless it is a covering shot. , otherwise this prop will be useless.

After understanding the purpose of the equipment, Fangsuke erected a straw man in front of the target in front of Kira and stepped away from it.

When facing a newcomer, no matter what he is trying to shoot, it is best for everyone to stay as far away as possible.

Fortunately, Kira is pretty reliable.

After setting the angle of rotation and the distance to the target, the shuriken was shot directly with a buzz.

However, it did not hit the target, but erased a gap of four to five centimeters on the wooden target.

The unit of the ruler is ten meters. If you want to use it flexibly, you need a certain amount of experience, so there is no surprise if you miss the target the first time.

On the contrary, Zheng Cheng opened his mouth and sighed: "It's so fast."

This thing is of course fast. The winch is wound repeatedly, and it already has a considerable speed before the shuriken flies out. This is not comparable to human power.

Seeing that the trial product had such an effect, Zoji was also very proud: "The design this time is not bad."

"Pretty good" In the situation just now, Masashige, who was unprepared, didn't catch the shuriken at all.

Kira, who missed once, was not discouraged and took two steps back to prepare to continue firing.

The moment the shuriken was released, Masashige also moved.

A shuriken was instantly pulled out and hit Kira's shuriken at an oblique angle.

“I didn’t catch up”

With two dings, the two shurikens were nailed to both ends of the target. Kira's shot was not accurate, and Masashige's shot was not accurate. Although he already knew the speed of ninja tools, his shurikens were fired manually, and even at full strength, they were still inferior to machines.

It is a trend for machines to replace human power. Even in the world of Naruto, the high-end combat power is tailed beasts. Kaguya's clan may also gain power by modifying their bodies. Even the Uchiha clan only has the Sharingan. Just a slave.

From this point of view, tools in this world are more powerful than individual humans.
