Konoha's New Third Hokage

Masaki Fengmori was the last one to enter the conference room. Although he wanted to get here early, he did not want to put unnecessary pressure on these hard-working subordinates.If the Hokage comes too early and their subordinates come too late, what's the matter? Either they feel uneasy or they have to come earlier. Whichever it is, it's not a good thing for them.

Fengsen Masaki looked at the people in the conference room. Everyone had arrived, including his daughter Mingmei.He nodded to everyone. The heads of the Research Department and the Arms Production Department immediately stood up and led others to salute the Hokage.

When the Scientific Research Department and the Arms Production Department were first established, due to their special nature, they did not receive the attention of the powerful ninja clan. The earliest members were either not valued within the family, or they were civilian ninjas who were later discovered to be talented, and successively served as The ministers are all people who are committed to improving the status of civilians, such as the second Hokage Tobirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even now, more than twenty years later, when people from the powerful ninja family begin to intervene, due to the control of Fengmori Masaki, the main leaders of the two departments are now those in the past, maintaining a strong The color of civilians, those who were born in the ninja clan could not help but be infected by this atmosphere.

In these two departments, what is looked at is not the traditional combat ability, but the talents in other places. Therefore, even if the members of the ninja clan join, most of them are not talented enough. Of course, there are also some who have existing talents. There are also talented ninjas with their own abilities, but they are in the minority after all, and not many are willing to join.

Therefore, in the Scientific Research Department, there is not much conflict between the ninja clan and civilians. Scientific research ability is the top priority. This is something that can quickly narrow the gap between the ninja clan and civilians. At present, it seems that there is a relatively good competitive relationship, and the Arms Production Department On the other side, orders and other businesses solved the problem of Ninja intervention.

For the top leaders of these two departments, they who are not valued in traditional ninja families can find a place here and exert their abilities from non-traditional places. They all rely on the support of the two generations of Hokage, especially the current third generation. Naruto, they respect Fengmori Masaki very much.

Feng Senzhenghui motioned for everyone to sit down, and he immediately sat down. There was a document in front of him, which was about the topics of this meeting. He did not read it first, but said: "Then, the meeting will be let's start."

"Let me first report on the production status of detonating guns." Masaichi Wakayama, Minister of Arms Production Department, stood up and began to report.

The detonating cannon is a new type of ninja tool that was built on a theoretical model by the Scientific Research Department and realized through the Arms Production Department. It looks very similar to Fengmori Masaki's cannon in his previous life, but it has some differences.The most important thing is that although the detonating cannon is called a cannon, what is projected is not a cannonball, but a kunai ninja tool combined with the detonating talisman.

Therefore, the projection ability of the detonating cannon will be different. The focus is on how to project the kunai quickly, and this directly affects the structure of the detonating cannon. But that is how the craftsmanship of the Konoha Ninja Village can be built. If this thing were a traditional cannon from the previous life, it would be a lot of trouble.

"With the current production capacity of the Arms Production Department, taking into account the production of other ninja tools, the monthly production time can be maintained at about 25." Wakayama Shoichi said, "With the proficiency of skills and the cooperation with mechanical production, The time spent polishing parts has been reduced, and the output has increased, but the biggest limitation on output is the production of detonating symbols.”

The mechanical collaboration used in Konoha Ninja Village is a semi-mechanized production operation. The machines used for operation are not very mature yet. It is naturally impossible to achieve high output for ninja tools with relatively complicated assembly processes such as detonating cannons. But as Shoichi Wakayama said, the important thing is that the production capacity of the detonating talisman limits it.

If the detonating cannon didn't have the "cannonballs" made of the detonating talisman, it would be just a huge iron rod that could be lifted up and hit people. It was heavy and cumbersome, and had no effect on the battlefield.In other words, if too many detonating cannons are produced but not enough detonating symbols, the detonating cannons that cannot be projected will be useless and a waste of time and materials.

The main people currently producing detonating charms are some members of the Sarutobi family and the Uchiha family - some combat personnel and security personnel - the number is not large, but if it is just for a ninja family, it is naturally enough. , but as for the projection capability of the detonating cannon, it is completely inadequate.

"Have the fire escape ninjas in the village who have not stepped onto the front line been arranged to join?" Fengmori Masaki said. He was talking about other ninjas in the village who could use fire escape but did not meet the standards for going to the battlefield or were prohibited from entering the front line due to other tasks.

"Well, despite this, the production of detonating talismans is still a problem. It is foreseeable that the production of detonating cannons cannot be too much." Wakayama Masaichi replied.

Fengmori Masaki nodded slightly. In his previous life, he discussed what effect it would have if ninjas were put into production. Although it is indeed better to put ninjas into production than ordinary people, there will be a huge problem, and that is the safety of the production staff. insufficient.

Ninjas must undergo arduous training to control chakra, learn the transformation of chakra's nature, and use escape techniques.And this must be a long time. According to the statistics of the Ninja School, in order to cultivate a qualified chuunin - which is also the point that can shoulder enough production tasks, from a standard level, it takes five to six years. Time, this still requires a certain amount of talent.

Even though Konoha Ninja Village has experienced a massive influx of people in recent years, and the number of ninjas entering ninja schools has also greatly increased, large-scale production is still a problem.After all, the more powerful the ninja, the first priority should be to protect the country and the village. It would be a waste of energy to put them into production.

Fengmori Masaki understands that even ninjas who can use magical ninjutsu are equivalent to ordinary people who can be more active. In the final analysis, they still belong to the human category and cannot compare with the more common and faster mechanized operations of production.

Of course, Fengmori Masaki knew not to act too hastily. The production capacity of Konoha Ninja Village must now exceed that of other countries. Being able to maintain such an advantage is hard-won, and one cannot expect too much.According to his plan, when the underground dragon veins of Loulan Kingdom are introduced and the important energy problem is solved, the mechanization of Konoha Ninja Village should make rapid progress.

In that case, the traditional way of survival of ninjas will be further weakened. Although Masaki Fengmori solved their survival problem by establishing a department where ninjas with mediocre talents can also exert their abilities, in the face of the era of change, can they maintain their survival? For the stability of the entire village, he still needed to move forward cautiously.

Feng Senzhenghui has always kept in mind that he must not act too hastily. If he is too impatient, conflicts will arise early and there will be no time to resolve them.

Next, what Wakayama Masaichi reported was the use of the Thunder Explosion Talisman, which was not much different from the detonating cannon. It just replaced the "shells" of the detonation talisman with the "cannonballs" of the Thunder Explosion Talisman. However, the subsequent application It can't be like this.

In addition to detonating cannons, Konoha Ninja Village has also studied other forms of second-stage detonating cannons or third-stage detonating cannons, which are nothing more than making their blasting capabilities more powerful through research, and also making small explosives-such as fragmentation detonating bombs. , the explosion of the traditional detonating talisman also adds secondary damage, which can catch people who think they have avoided the explosion of the detonating talisman unprepared. These are the subsequent applications of the detonating talisman.

Now, these things have been put on the agenda, the theoretical model has been established, and even the actual production drawings have been produced. At this time, Fengmori Masaki is proud of the people in the scientific research department. Although in the traditional ninja In terms of mathematics, they are not powerful, but they have another kind of "power". They have carefully mastered mathematical theories and scientific spirit and transformed them.

Ninjas who understand culture are truly good ninjas, Fengmori Masaki thought to himself.

Those are all subsequent applications of the detonating talisman. In the report sent by Orochimaru, he put forward other ideas about the characteristics of the thunder explosion talisman. The thunder explosion talisman uses thunder attribute chakra properties, which are different from high-temperature blasting. Compared with the detonating talisman, thunder attribute chakra has other application methods.

Although it was only a draft, Orochimaru proposed in the report the concepts of high-speed projectile thunder blast weapons, barrier weapons that use thunder escape to trap enemies, and weapons that directly concentrate and explode thunder escape. His fantastic ideas I want the people in the scientific research department to be amazed and start a discussion, thinking that the characteristics of the Thunder Explosion Talisman are indeed feasible.

In this case, the detonating cannons used in the Thunder Explosion Talisman are all newly designed. Maybe they can't even be called detonating cannons, but should be called something else.As for the rest of the applications, they are still under discussion by the Scientific Research Department. Although there are no specific drawings, there are already various novel speculations.

Feng Senzhenghui listened to the discussion of the staff of the scientific research department and nodded slightly. A thunderbolt could make them have so many conjectures. They have really implemented the spirit of scientific research in these years, and he can also be sure that in learning After establishing a mathematical model, as long as it is feasible, they can create it without any need for their own intervention.

"Are there any problems with the production of the Thunder Explosion Talisman?" Feng Senzhenghui asked.

The number of thunder escape ninjas in the Konoha Ninja Village cannot be said to be less, but it cannot be said to be too many. The most important thing is the issue of the materials for making the Thunder Explosion Talisman. This is also the place that has restricted the Konoha Ninja Village in the past. After exploding the research information on Fu Fu, he wanted to know if the village could find an alternative.

"From the scroll information provided by Kumogakure Ninja Village, we have found some materials that may be similar in nature." Someone from the Scientific Research Department replied, "As for whether it can really be replaced, it still needs to be tested, but we think that at least You can make better Thunder Explosion Talisman than in the past, and when the situation is good, you can be on par with it." As for whether it can surpass the Thunder Explosion Talisman of Kumogakure Ninja Village, he did not boast.

"It doesn't matter, just solve the problem according to the scientific spirit." Feng Senzhenghui said.

Next, people from the Scientific Research Department will conduct research, production and testing of the current Thunder Explosion Talisman, and the Arms Production Department will occasionally talk about various problems in the production of Thunder Explosion Talisman.When these topics came to an end for the time being, Fengmori Masaki raised a new question. He looked at his daughter Mingmei and said, "How is the current progress?"

Fengmori Masaki was asking about another research being conducted in the Konoha Ninja Village, which is an epoch-making weapon that goes beyond traditional warfare—that is, flying combat props.Traditional wars are battles between land and sea. Because the Fire Country is a typical continental country, the main battles are concentrated on land. However, as someone from another world with more advanced military combat concepts, Fengmori Masaki is very clear about the importance of air superiority. sex.

Traditional combat is conducted on a flat surface, but after the introduction of air combat, it will change from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one. After the introduction of diving combat, its depth and breadth will increase like never before, which will completely change the combat of this era. method, and the ninja village that takes the lead in mastering the superior technology will become the leader in the future era.

In the ninja world of normal time and space, the ninja village 30 years later has almost no defense against aerial combat. Although Deidara is also a master, the reason why he was able to enter the Sunagakure ninja village alone and take away the Kazekage is It relies on his flying ability, so that no one else can intervene. Only Gaara, who can also fly with the help of sand, can deal with it.

From this point, we can see how powerless the traditional ninja village will be once faced with a large-scale air combat force. Masaki Fengmori can imagine that the blow to the Iwagakure ninja village will be greater than the detonating cannon. , the detonating cannon can be blocked by tall rock walls, but it is not so easy to face air combat troops.

Considering the characteristics of the ninja world, the flying combat props are naturally based on wind chakra. Because Fengmori Masaki, Konoha Ninja Village's research on wind escape has gone beyond the traditional sharp cutting and began to study the air flow itself. For example, using wind escape to lift people up and fly is not a troublesome move for those who are proficient in wind escape.

However, the first priority of the air combat combat unit is to popularize its use, so that people with certain talents can fly. If it cannot be popularized, it will be very unfriendly to those mediocre ninjas.If we talk about the magical power that can be realized in the ninja world, it can definitely be said to be very advanced. Long-distance reconnaissance, flying thunder god's space movement, etc., which one is not surprising, but this kind of power can only be controlled by the strong, and it cannot be popularized. The biggest problem limiting the development of science and technology in the ninja world.

Fengmori Masaki has said before that the concept of new ninja tools is to be popular and convenient, so that ordinary people can also use this power. If this cannot be done, there will be no gap with traditional powerful ninja tools, and it cannot be called a ninja tool at all. New style.

Among those who participated in this research was Masaki Fengmori's daughter Akemi. She inherited Masaki Fengmori's wind attribute chakra, so she was naturally a suitable person. The main person in charge was Orochimaru, and this guy's chakra was also Wind attribute, including other wind attribute ninjas - of course, wind attribute is very rare in Konoha Ninja Village, and not many people can participate in the research.

Feng Senzhenghui was quietly waiting for his daughter's report, and he was looking forward to it in his heart.
