Chapter 444 Noah's Ark

"The original plan was to return together after picking you up."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"But."

On the way here, Sasuke discovered the strange red-haired existence on the ground.

Soon, the information from ninjas from all sides was summarized by Yamanaka Ino and conveyed by Ino, and was delivered to Sasuke as soon as possible.

Among them, what bothered Sasuke the most was that the intelligence showed that those strange creatures were obviously indiscriminate in their attack behavior.

As long as they are human, even if they are corpses, whether they are civilians or ninjas, in the eyes of these red demons, they are all beings that can be converted and are worth attacking.

Before this, the reason why Uchiha Sasuke gave the order to retreat was largely because he did not want to cause unnecessary sacrifices.

Based on basic knowledge, in Sasuke's view, after leaving the Wind Country and the Sand Village to the other party, there will be some killing.

But under such a one-sided situation, the scale of killing must be controllable.

After all, for the rulers, the existence of ninjas and civilians is also a resource.

However, the sudden appearance of the red demon completely disrupted Sasuke's changes.

At this time, he urgently needed to get in-depth contact and investigate more intelligence.

On the other hand, I also hope to do my best to save some civilians and ninjas.

Among them, the "God's Workshop" established by Kankuro and its many talented puppeteers are what Sasuke cares about the most.

"If we don't deal with this group of weird guys, they will sooner or later spread to our Fire Country."

Uchiha Sasuke said briefly.

"Then I'll go with you!"

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto spoke loudly.

(“Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with you two.”)

In his mind, Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but joke.

Uchiha Sasuke blushed and said calmly:

"We are still quite far from the Fire Country, so we must complete the mission of covering the enemy from beginning to end."

"With Kakashi-sensei here, nothing will happen!"

"Naruto!"

Seeing that Naruto was still talking, Hatake Kakashi on the side immediately stopped him and said:

"As a ninja, how can you treat a mission as a joke?"

After a pause, Kakashi turned to Sasuke and said:

"Well, take care of yourself."

The latter nodded and everyone said goodbye.

After walking for a while, Might Guy suddenly shouted:

“Oh my!

"Have we forgotten about Asuma?!!"

-

(“.So, this magical item can also be used to share ninjutsu?”)

The moonlight is like frost.

In the sky, Uchiha Sasuke spread his wings and glided.

A streak of purple hair fluttered in the wind in front of her forehead.

Recalling the scene where Sasuke performed the "healing technique" for his teacher, Asuma Sarutobi, Yamanaka Ino felt it was extremely magical.

(“That’s right.

("But the prerequisite is that I probably need to have the corresponding Yang attribute chakra.")

Uchiha Sasuke answered in his heart.

The two chatted idly.

The experience of flying together is romantic.

But right now, neither of them could really relax in their hearts.

The moonlight spreads an endless silver veil over the earth.

More and more red ghosts, either alone or in groups of three or five, were wandering around in the empty land.

The closer you get to the Sand Village, the more the number and density of red demons increase exponentially.

The ability to fly did save Uchiha Sasuke a lot of trouble.

However, it also allowed him to witness many human tragedies more frequently.

("Aren't you going to ask me why I didn't save that family just now?")

After an unbearable silence, Uchiha Sasuke asked quietly with gloomy eyes.

Ten minutes ago, at a farm on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Wind, dozens of red ghosts surrounded the small house.

The father, a farmer, rushed out first with a shovel in his hand, but was quickly pounced on by the red devils and eaten.

Inside the house, the cries of children shook the sky.

(“You must have your considerations.”)

Hearing Sasuke's question, Yamanaka Ino's tone became heavy.

After a pause, she continued:

(“I can feel it.

(“At the time, you were as sad and angry as I was.”)

Emotion sharing is indeed one of the functions of the Mind Puppet.

("But.

(“The number of these monsters is simply endless.”)

Looking at the red demon wandering on the ground below him, Yamanaka Ino still felt a little palpitated.

I only heard her say with great concern:

("If you have to personally resolve every crisis, sooner or later you will be exhausted to death in the endless tide of puppets.")

("Um.")

Uchiha Sasuke responded silently.

Although his rational self had already made a choice, he was constantly tortured by huge self-blame after witnessing the continuous deaths of civilians.

("In the face of such a disaster, trade-offs are inevitable.")

As if to comfort himself, Uchiha Sasuke said lightly.

However, Yamanaka Ino, who clearly felt Sasuke's inner torment, was unable to utter a word.

("Don't be so hard on yourself, Sasuke.")

After a while, Yamanaka Ino said calmly:

(“It’s almost dawn.”)

Uchiha Sasuke looked up and saw only a ray of light quietly emerging on the distant horizon.

Not far ahead, the gradually clear outline of the canyon is the Sand Village.

“Get out of here!!!!”

Sunagakure Ninja Village.

With a roar, the tank, like an iron beast, rumbled forward, knocking away all the Iwagakure ninjas who tried to stop it.

In the cockpit, Fujimoto's eyes were completely red.

Cruel enemies, terrifying red demons, endless screams, and the smell of blood in the air.

Everything in this hell on earth irritated his tense nerves.

In the distance, the Five-tailed Jinchuriki, who was carefully observing the iron beast, quickly realized the great value of this iron lump among the tide of demons.

Just as he made up his mind and was about to step forward to snatch it.

Suddenly, a huge wing fluttered across his head, casting a spreading shadow on the ground.

When I looked up, I only had time to see a beautiful face.

The man had a blank look in his eyes and his hands were open.

A dark vortex like a solar eclipse was spinning rapidly in the palm of his hand.

The next second, an absolutely dark barrier area enveloped most of the Sand Village.

"Secret Technique: Solar Eclipse!"

"Who?!"

"what's the situation?"

“Don’t move!

"It's me! One of our own!"

"Wow--!!"

For a moment, commotion and screams were heard everywhere.

In the cockpit, Fujimoto, whose vision was also plunged into darkness, couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, before he could react, the sound of the hatch door being opened came from above his head.

The next second, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"How does this thing open?"

"!!"

At this moment, the nerves that had been tense for so long were finally about to break, and Fujimoto shouted incoherently.

He immediately drew out the kunai from his waist and stabbed with all his strength in the direction of the sound.

"Clang-crack-!"

In the darkness, Fujimoto felt that his wrist was being held tightly.

The next second, he was suddenly pushed against the side wall of the cockpit, and an irresistible force surged from the front.

The next second, he only heard that pleasant voice, breathing beside his ear, saying lightly:

“Hey, don’t be afraid.

"I'm here to save you."

For some reason, Fujimoto felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.

The other party's gentle tone seemed to have a kind of magical power, and it actually made him calm down a little.

"who are you?"

Fujimoto was pressed against the wall, panting and asking. In the narrow cabin, the two people were very close to each other.

In the darkness, one could seem to hear Fujimoto's pounding heart.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"!!!"

The savior from three years ago once again descended from the sky when the person was in desperate situation.

At this moment, Fujimoto, a staunch atheist, finally had his own beliefs.

(“I say, this guy is overreacting.”)

In her mind, seeing Fujimoto almost having an asthma attack, Yamanaka Ino felt that it was a bit too exaggerated.

“Keep moving forward.

"There is a huge building at ten o'clock. Hide this iron beast first."

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke spoke in a deep voice, directing Fujimoto to drive forward.

"The place you said

"Is it a factory that manufactures large mechanical puppets?"

In the entire Sand Village, this is the only building gate that can accommodate this tank.

Fujimoto asked curiously while driving.

how could I know?

Just looking for a place to talk.

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent. The cockpit was filled with the loud noise of the moving tank.

"Sasuke-sama!"

After driving for a while, I didn't know how many things I hit on the road, and even heard a few screams.

The instinctive uneasiness brought by the darkness made Fujimoto ask again:

"Come to think of it, it was pitch black outside. How did you determine the direction?"

"Stop! Turn left ninety degrees!"

Amid the noise, Uchiha Sasuke answered the question irrelevantly and continued to give orders loudly.

It's not that I'm deliberately hiding anything, it's just that it's difficult to explain things like Sage Mode and natural perception.

For ordinary ninjas, this kind of thing is really too complicated.

"Boom——!"

With a loud bang, the original factory gate was smashed by the tank.

Uchiha Sasuke jumped out of the cabin very swiftly and used Lava Release to seal the door again.

The eclipse ended and the faint light around me returned.

Then, a "grunt" sound was heard behind him.

The headlights in the factory suddenly lit up, and the surroundings became brightly lit.

"It's really Sasuke-sama!"

On the other side, before his vision could be fully restored, Fujimoto rushed up and bowed to Uchiha Sasuke.

"Including the time three years ago, this is the second time you've saved me!"

Fujimoto was still very excited and spoke in a trembling voice.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke just thought that the other party was saying that he saved the entire village from Gaara and others, and didn't think much about it.

Sasuke helped the other person up and asked solemnly:

“Now is not the time to talk about this.

"Listen carefully. I ask questions and you answer them."

"Yes!"

Fujimoto stood up shakily, his chest heaving with excitement.

"Where's Temari?"

"."

As for the first question, Fujimoto had no way of knowing the answer.

At night, when he woke up from his dream and walked out of the house, he looked up and saw the scene of Lady Terumi Mei fighting with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"do not know"

Seeing a look of disappointment on Sasuke's face, Fujimoto quickly added:

"but!

"Lord Terumi Mei has died in battle."

However, Uchiha Sasuke did not have any extra reaction to this information, which he thought was important.

He just nodded and continued to ask:

"So, what about Kankuro?"

"Lord Kankuro"

Fujimoto Itsuki is very familiar with his direct superior.

However, he still opened his mouth when asked where he was at the moment.

After a while, he could only shake his head silently and said he didn't know.

"clear."

However, Sasuke seemed to have expected this. He did not bother any further and asked:

“You can use a kunai, and you can pilot this iron beast.

"Are you related to the 'God Control Workshop' founded by Kankuro? Do you know the puppeteers working there? Are they still alive?"

"Reply to Sasuke-sama!

"I am the puppeteer working at the 'God Control Workshop'!"

Finally there was a question that could be answered, and Fujimoto shook off his previous frustration and answered loudly.

"Oh?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes immediately lit up.

He took a step back, looked the other person up and down carefully, and asked:

"How many iron beasts are there in the Sand Village?"

"Well

"Just this one."

Fujimoto answered honestly:

“Master Kankuro entrusted me with the design of the tank.

"According to the instructions in the New Territory Code of the Divine Realm, in addition to armored defense, the 'tank' should also have the combat function of artillery bombardment.

“But I’m just not smart enough.

"There has been no breakthrough in the energy conversion of the gun barrel.

"This puppet is actually just a semi-finished product."

"You mean, you are the designer of this thing?!"

Uchiha Sasuke's face was full of surprise.

Sure enough, coming back this time was the right decision.

“Production time.”

"what?"

"I asked you how long it took to make one."

Sasuke turned his head and glanced at the iron beast beside him, which was almost impossible to associate with the tank in the atlas, and said cheerfully:

"You said tanks, so be it!

"How long does it take to build a tank?"

"if.

"If all conditions are met, it will take about three days."

Fujimoto answered blankly:

“However, many of the key ingredients were lying around my house.

"I can assemble the steel by myself"

“I can help you with all this.

"Listen carefully. I need you to modify the design and forget about that damn baby map recognition."

"It is the new boundary code of the Holy Divine Realm."

Fujimoto corrected quietly.

"Okay! Holy Code, whatever."

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were burning as he said loudly:

“I mean, forget the blueprints!

"Maximize your defense and mobility! In the shortest possible time, three days, no, two days!

"I want you to build one for me within two days!"

Hearing the "new demands" coming, Fujimoto couldn't help but frown.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, what a mess of thoughts.

If the other party had not been Uchiha Sasuke, he would have probably lost his patience long ago.

“Oh, and more!

“The cabin must be designed to be as spacious as possible!

"As long as we can pack one more person, we can save one more ninja life from the Sand Village!"
