I teach kendo in the ninja world

In fact, Araki had already noticed the boat catching up behind him, but he was just too lazy to open his eyes to see who it was.

So not only did the three Sunagakure genin act strangely later, but he could also clearly hear Ye Cang's laughter at the beginning.

There is no way, there is too much news brought by the wind.

But what...

Hearing that the brats in Sunagakure Village began to mock the appearance and makeup of Kirigakure ninjas, Araki felt that as the face of Kirigakure Village, he could no longer remain silent.

Because, although the people in Kirigakure Village look a bit arbitrary, how can your Sunagakure Village be any better?

It's just that the skin was rough and rough from being exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and his face was covered like a mummy, covered with oil paint.

How could he have the nerve to mock the appearance and makeup of the Kirigakure ninja?

Araki opened his eyes, sat up, bent down and held the Samehada that he placed under the lounge chair, and jumped onto the side of the Wind Kingdom ship with a slight jump.

He placed Samehada on his shoulder with one hand and glanced across the deck. His cold and sharp eyes made the three of them tremble in fear, as if they were being shot through the heart by an arrow.

Finally, his eyes rested on Ye Cang, who was wearing cool clothes and wearing a bun.

"Kirigakure Jonin Araki."

Ye Cang met his eyes and announced his identity:

"Sunagakure Jonin Hayakura."

"Has Sunagakure also decided to take part in the Chuunin Exam this time?"

Araki seemed to be asking nonsense. After all, other people's ships have sailed here, what else can they do if they are not going to take the chunin exam?

However, Ye Cang was very cautious about this issue. She shook her head: "I'm just going to learn a thing or two."

She knew in her heart that Araki was not asking about a mere Chunin exam, but whether Sunagakure Village had decided to take action against Konoha.

Although the Third Kazekage had a tendency to do this kind of thing, she couldn't talk about it casually before she was completely sure, so she had to evade it vaguely.

But Araki didn't intend to let them go so casually.

He then said: "Learning? Speaking of this, this is our first time contacting Kirigakure. Our experience is not as rich as yours, Sunagakure. We should learn from you."

After saying this, Ye Cang couldn't help but curl his fingers behind his back.

Is Sunagakure experienced in facing Konoha?

That's certainly rich. After all, half of the puppet army is included, along with two commanders and deputy commanders!

Who wants this kind of miserable failure experience?

Araki was making a naked mockery.

However, although Ye Cang lacks political acumen, he is still very quick in thinking, otherwise he would not be favored by the Third Kazekage as the team leader.

She suppressed the fire of ignorance in her heart and said with a smile: "In a few days, I hope Kirigakure Village will have some different experiences to share."

"Of course!"

Araki nodded confidently, "Anyway, he can't be worse than Sunagakure."

"you!"

Ye Cang couldn't stand being stimulated by him again and again. She put away her fake friendly smile and said coldly: "Sir Araki, our ship is about to speed up. It would be better for you to go back to your own ship. . Otherwise, you won’t be able to see your little broken ship in a while.”

When Araki heard this, he turned around and saw that indeed, the large ship from the Kingdom of Wind had just caught up with it, and in such a short time, it had already surpassed half of the ship.

He couldn't help but be a little curious: "Isn't your ship driven by wind? Are there puppets working underneath?"

Most of the ships in this world are still in the sail-driven stage. The one with the strongest technology in this regard is Kirigakure. After all, they go to sea every day.

However, Sunagakure's big ship was actually much faster than them under the same wind conditions. Araki could only think that the other party had come up with some new technology.

Puppetry was the first object of suspicion.

Because it is the technology closest to mechanical manufacturing.

Of course, this is only limited to top puppet masters.

"What does this have to do with you? If you don't leave, I will speed up."

Ye Cang gave an ultimatum with a cold face.

"Don't worry, I also know a little bit about puppetry. How about we all communicate together?"

Araki now has some doubts about the identity of this hidden Sunagakure puppet master.

Looking at the puppet army of Sunagakure Village, the top puppet masters have always come from the Chiyo line.

From herself, to her son and daughter-in-law, to her grandson Xie, they are all geniuses in puppetry.

But apart from that, the puppet army doesn't even have a named master.

Until more than ten years later, the most powerful puppet Kankuro, son of the Kazekage, could use was a toy invented by Scorpion when he was a child.

After such a long time, it doesn’t matter if there is no innovation, and no one can even imitate it.

This is simply a technological epoch!

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that after Xia's defection, Chiyo became disheartened and stopped accepting disciples to teach the advanced puppetry skills.

However, there is no loss anyway if the bet is wrong. Araki just wants to take a gamble and see if the puppet master on this ship is the Red Sand Scorpion!

He wanted to meet and chat with Scorpion in advance.

Because, the Red Sand Scorpions can be said to be the most determined fighting faction in Sand Hidden Village.

He could even assassinate the Third Kazekage for this!

This shows how firm his determination is.

If he can get his support, as Scorpion, he will definitely have a major impact on the decision-making of Sunagakure Village.

Even if the last three generations of Kazekage firmly disagreed to send troops.

So with Kirigakure's support, it's not impossible to re-enact the plot and then directly push Scorpion into the fourth generation Kazekage.

After all, if Xia did not defect, with his identity and ability, there should be no suspense about taking over as the fifth Kazekage.

The fourth generation is not without its share of competition!

After all, his background is much deeper than that of Luo Sha, Ye Cang and others.

As long as the strength can keep up, there is no big obstacle to becoming the Fourth Kazekage.

Most of the puppet master's strength lies in the puppets he owns.

For the Red Sand Scorpion, who possesses human puppet technology, as long as he has a few good ninja corpses, his strength will immediately skyrocket.

In other words, as long as there is enough money, the strength of the Red Sand Scorpion can grow to extremely terrifying levels.

Becoming a rebel ninja would be a huge waste of his talent.

If there is a great ninja village as the backing, and the ultimate explosion of troops, it is really exciting to see what the Red Sand Scorpion can achieve.

"Do you know puppetry?"

"Do you know puppetry?"

Two voices overlapped, one was Ye Cang's slightly mocking sneer, and the other had a slightly childish tone but a more calm tone.

Araki looked around and saw a handsome young man with red hair walking out of the cabin.

He did not wear the standard uniform of Sand Hidden Village, but wore a loose robe to cover his body. His skin was slightly pale, and he felt as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.

The first time he saw him, Araki determined the other person's identity.

It was the Red Sand Scorpion!

……

Xie had been studying puppets in the cabin, which was his biggest hobby.

In terms of personality, he is somewhat introverted and unsociable. Perhaps the term "technical nerd" can describe his life situation more vividly.

Therefore, while the other four people in Sand Hidden Village were enjoying the humid sea breeze on the deck, he had no interest in these and was still studying his puppet.

Until he was alarmed by the conversation between Araki and Ye Cang.

At this time, Scorpion's biggest desire in his heart was to avenge his parents, and his enemy was undoubtedly Konoha.

Therefore, he naturally has a good impression of Kirigakure, who is currently fighting with Konoha.

Therefore, after hearing Araki say that he also knew puppetry, he couldn't help but walk out of his puppet workshop and wanted to talk to him in person.

Xie's appearance was beyond Ye Cang's expectation. After getting along with him for the past few days, she had almost concluded that Xie was a somewhat autistic genius boy.

But he never thought that he was just not interested in me?

Ye Cang watched helplessly as Scorpion walked up to Araki and said, "I am Scorpion of Red Sand, and I transformed this ship."

"I'm Araki, so can you help us modify our ship?"

Araki asked directly shamelessly.

"You!" Ye Cang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The Red Sand Scorpion did not have these unnecessary emotional fluctuations, and just shook his head gently:

"No, those puppets can only move under my control. I can't control the puppets on two ships at the same time."

"Tsk, don't you have that kind of semi-automatic puppet?" Araki smacked his lips, which was a pity.

"What is a semi-automated puppet?"

The name aroused Scorpio's interest.

"It's the kind of puppet that stores part of the chakra in the body, allowing it to work according to preset instructions until the chakra is consumed."

Araki roughly described his thoughts.

"Preserving chakra in a puppet's body? Is this what you call understanding puppetry?"

Hearing this, Ye Cang taunted unceremoniously. Even she, who did not understand puppetry, knew that chakra could not be stored in a puppet's body, and all chakra consumed must be borne by the puppet master himself.

However, Araki's words were not meant for her to hear, so he ignored Ye Cang's words and stared closely into Xie's eyes.

How to preserve chakra in the puppet's body is the core difficulty of human puppet technology.

Because only by preserving the chakra of the deceased, the human puppet can use the ninjutsu that he was good at during his lifetime, and this will also greatly reduce the burden on the scorpion body.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to support hundreds of puppets with his own efforts.

Araki just wanted to know how far Scorpion's human puppet technology research had progressed during this period.

After hearing Araki's description, Xie was silent for a moment: "It sounds very valuable for research, but our current technology cannot realize it."

Although he didn't admit it directly, his silence was the best answer.

If he really hadn't done research in this area, then he would have been a little excited when he suddenly heard about a new research direction, instead of just ignoring it as he was now.

Araki got the answer he wanted, so he didn't stay any longer. After all, there were many people here, and it was difficult to say many things directly.Especially since Ye Cang seemed to have offended him just now, and now she is staring at Xie behind his back.

"Okay, forget it then. Let's talk again when we get to the Kingdom of Thunder. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate."

Araki waved at them and jumped back to his ship with Samehada on his shoulders.

"Teacher Araki, do the people from Sunagakure also want to join us?"

Back on the ship, Terumi Mei, who has the highest political awareness, asked exactly the same question as when Araki asked Ye Cang before.

Hearing this, Araki was even stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Terumi Mei: "It's not sure yet, but they should be one of the easiest targets for us to win."

Yes, although Kirigakure and Kumogakure have a good relationship recently, in his opinion, among the other three countries, Sunagakure is the most promising to be the first to send troops to attack Konoha.

Because they have been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

Be it Iwagakure or Kumogakure, they hate Konoha more out of a sense of vigilance.

It's like, "You're too strong, you have to weaken it."

As for the land of the Land of Fire, it is naturally best if you can get it, but it doesn't matter if you can't get it. Their own land is not so bad that they can't survive.

But Sunagakure Village is different.

They really can't survive anymore.

There is only a thin line between the vast yellow sands of the Kingdom of Wind and the beautiful mountains and clear waters of the Kingdom of Fire.

But at this line, one is the strongest in the ninja world, and the other is the poorest in the ninja world.

The pressure of survival, coupled with mutual hatred, especially the blood feud between the Red Sand Scorpions and Konoha, is the biggest bargaining chip that Kirigakure Village can use.

As for negotiation, as long as one family relents, it will not be far away from others.

Sand Hidden Village is the best breakthrough point that Araki is optimistic about.

The easiest point to break through in Sand Hidden Village is the Red Sand Scorpion.

Araki even felt that because of Yi Xie's indifference towards Sand Hidden Village, if that didn't work, he could even be allowed to come to the Kingdom of Water to participate in the war in his own name.

When the time comes, it will be very interesting to turn the corpses of Konoha ninjas who died in the battle into adult puppets and attack Konoha in turn.

And as Scorpion, Sunagakure Village cannot give up on him directly, unless the Third Kazekage wants Sunagakure to split.

By then, they will surely hold their noses and start a war with Konoha, right?

As long as there is hope that it can lead to a war between wind and fire, Scorpion might just agree to this strategy.

Moreover, Kirigakure Village does not have as many rules and regulations as Sunagakure Village.

The argument that "it is evil to use human corpses to make puppets" is simply untenable in Kirigakure Village.

People in Kirigakure don't care whether you are evil or not, they only care whether you are strong or not.

When the blood step ninjas oppressed civilian ninjas, no one said they were evil, because at that time there were enough blood step families in Kirigakure Village and they were strong enough.

During Obito Uchiha's period, the blood successor family was almost wiped out by him. At that time, it was spread throughout the Water Kingdom that the blood successor was a symbol of evil, and even ordinary civilians shouted at them to beat and kill them.

why?

Because they have become weaker, because there are stronger people who have redefined what evil is.

In Kirigakure Village, the strongest can define evil and justice according to their own preferences, and others can only obey.
