What's Up with This Puppet Master?

After all, the core material of Ugo's Ring is the ore core that contains magic power. In that world mysticism, it represents the core of the earth, the origin of the world, and so on.

The mechanical city designed by Long Er is a city in the sky that can fly, so the foundation is very important.

Generally speaking, just to maintain the flight, it is enough to strengthen the rock hardness with ninjutsu convergence.

But what Long Er considered was that during the war, the enemy may destroy the city by destroying the foundation, so the foundation must be strong and firm.

He initially wanted to forge a platform out of rare metals, and then build a city on the platform.

However, considering the inability of funds and dragon veins to move, it was changed to excavate the earth carrying the dragon veins together, and then stabilize it with the Ring of Ugo, transforming the rising rock formation into a world plate.

Maintaining the vitality and hardness of the urban grassroots not only solves the problem of grassroots defense, but also ensures that the dragon veins cannot move.

In the future, urban farming areas can also be planted.

After all, despite its small size, this is undoubtedly a plate on the same scale as the world.

As for defense... If you don't have the ability to destroy the world plate, don't think about destroying the grassroots.

As for the maintenance time... Ugo's Ring is a ten-meter-diameter ring with a magic array of positive and negative hexagrams in the middle. The center of the array needs a ore core as an energy support.

The ore core contains a huge amount of magic power, which is enough to support the world with the increase of the magic circle.

The energy of the magic crystal core comes from the earth.

Ugo uses the magic crystal ore core as the core of Ugo's Ring to support the earth and become the core of the earth. The earth will continuously feed back the ore core, making it energy continuous and becoming a closed loop of infinite loop.

This is why words like forever and infinity are often mentioned in the book.

To achieve this effect, to a certain extent, can indeed be called eternal.

Of course, Long Er, the Ring of Ugo, which was replaced by the Sage's Stone, is not that powerful, and can support the earth in a limited range.

Otherwise, he will directly use it to improve the geological problems of the Land of Wind, so why bother to build a mechanical city!

In addition, the positive and negative hexagrams need to be drawn once to be effective, and ordinary people can't do it at all, only the creation magician can do it.

Long Er is also not good, you need to use a 3D printer to do it.

Not only the positive and negative hexagrams, but also the sage's stone, secondary Edman alloy, vibranium and other materials processing also require 3D printers.

Therefore, Long Er is going to return to Shayin to see the specific negotiation process between Shayin and Konoha.

The next day.

Long Er packed up his things and made a final explanation to Hailaozang before leaving, "Senior Hailaozang, you can arrange for someone to dig the foundation first. It doesn't matter if the area is larger. It may be expanded in the future, but it must not be small."

"Don't worry about this. Although the old man is a lot of age, he is not old and confused. He still understands these basic things."

"Then I'll leave it to you here."

"Ok!"

In this way, Long Er left Loulan with two prisoners, Zhiwei and Qiu Dao Dingzuo.

……

The world doesn't revolve around one person.

During this period of time, except for Long Er, who was immersed in construction, other forces also launched actions in other places.

Time went back to thirteen days ago, that is, the fifth day after Long Er successfully defeated the Konoha team and captured the dragon vein.

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

"...I didn't expect you to be an opponent."

After listening to Minato's mission report, Sarutobi's expression became solemn, he even forgot to smoke the pipe he was holding in his mouth, and just kept it in his mouth.

There's no way this can be done. The news that Watergate brought back is too serious.

Originally, he was worried that when the Four Ninja Village Alliance attacked Konoha, Sandyin would take advantage of the fire and attack Konoha.

But now, their Konoha has damaged two elite Shangin, but Sandyin has obtained the dragon veins, and the strength has skyrocketed. I am afraid that the ambition will expand further.

It's probably even more difficult to get Sandyin to stop when Konoha is in difficulty.

Especially that Xuanqi Long Er, even the team led by Watergate was not an opponent, and his strength was greatly underestimated.

Chapter 57 Sarutobi Hiruzen's Vigilance

Are masters valuable?

Great, that's for sure.

No matter which ninja village they are in, powerful ninjas are precious. They can complete tasks that others cannot, and can bring sufficient benefits and prestige to the village.

But it's just "big", not irreplaceable.

Whether it is a shadow-level master or an elite Jōnin, when it comes to the interests of the village itself, they are all discarded objects.

There are two main reasons for this.

One is because the death of ninjas is commonplace, and people are used to it, so they look at the lives of ninjas relatively lightly.

Although there are people who value human life more than interests, but this is a minority, the mainstream is to look down on the lives of ninjas, even including themselves.

The second is that no matter how strong the individual is, it cannot surpass the collective.

A little collective interest can create more masters, whether it is a shadow or an elite ninja, can be cultivated again.

However, although the mainstream is like this, there are also strong people who can transcend this phenomenon.

Such as Madara Uchiha and Chisami Hashirama.

There are also strong people who cannot escape this phenomenon, but can escape this phenomenon.

There are two people in the ninja world today who can do this.

Three generations of Raikage Ai and Namikaze Minato.

This does not mean that they are much stronger than other shadows, but the ninjutsu they master has a one-to-many affinity.

The three generations of Raikage have the hardest shield and the sharpest spear in the ninja world, and it is an all-round defense without dead ends, and the explosion is amazing.

Those who can break his defenses cannot catch up with him, and those who can catch up with him cannot break his defenses.

The sharpest spear can tear apart anyone who wants to contain him.

Crowd tactics didn't make sense to him unless he had a reason not to run away.

Although Namikaze Minato doesn't have the sharpest spear and the hardest shield, he has a speed that makes it difficult to react, and he has a flying thunder god technique that ignores the terrain and can jump in space.

He can come and go freely among thousands of troops, and he can run away at any time when he encounters an enemy stronger than him.

These two people are the ones who can't rely on human sea tactics to die in today's ninja world, and can escape the collective existence.

And now, I have to add another person-Xuanqi Longji.

Although he couldn't believe that a 15-year-old boy could reach such a level, Sarutobi had to admit it after hearing Minato's mission report.

That Sandyin's genius puppet master has indeed reached this point.

Bird-shaped puppets that can fly fast in the sky; small in size but large in number, can also submerge in the ground and breathe fire, have independent judgment ability, and act on their own. Strong thief, many ninjutsu, armor that can fly at high speed...

What this young man showed is not only not weaker than any master in the ninja world today, but also not afraid of being surrounded by a sea of ​​people.

"A few days ago, Danzo and I thought that he was able to fight against ten with that powerful weapon, kill nine elite Jounin, and win a crushing victory." The more Sarutobi thought about it, the more bored he became.

Sand Yin is not only a master of this level, but also a puppet master, who has developed so many powerful weapons and equipment.

Now that they have obtained the dragon veins, their overall strength is not known how to improve.

Perhaps, in this Ninja World War, Sandyin is the biggest enemy.

Sarutobi sighed in his heart, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Minato, who was kneeling in front of the desk on one knee, and he couldn't help but straighten his face, "This task is well done, you can rest well, I will take care of Zhiwei and Dingzuo. Go to Sandyin to negotiate."

The mission this time is to prevent An Lushan from stealing the dragon veins. Although Minato did not do it himself, judging from the mission objective, you have completed the mission.

"Yes."

Minato replied in a low voice, got up and left.

Only this time, his back looks a little desolate.

Obviously, the failure of this mission also had a big blow to his heart.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi sighed deeply again: I hope this loss will not have too much impact on him.

If it was in the past, he would definitely observe Minato's situation secretly.

If he can get out of the shadow of failure by himself, it is naturally the best, if not, then he has to find a suitable time to pour chicken soup for his soul.

But now, thinking of the current situation and the stronger Sand Yin, he really doesn't have the energy to pay attention to his personal situation.

The stronger Sandyin's ambition will expand, and there is a need to snatch territory... What price will Konoha pay to prevent them from sending troops at this time?

What about the situation over there?

"Lord Hokage, there is a scroll from Sandyin."

Suddenly, Anbu appeared in front of the desk, holding a small scroll in his hand.

Sarutobi's heart moved, and he walked quickly to Anbu to take the scroll and open it.

[Shayin asked to send a delegation to Konoha to study the education system and medical system, and at the same time demand...]

This was a letter from the Konoha messenger who was on the mission of Sandyin, and it was written in the request of Sandyin.

Sarutobi doesn't care about material and financial needs. Although it hurts, it's nothing compared to the crisis and cost of fighting five Ninja villages at the same time.

But the requirement to send a mission to Konoha to study the education and medical ninja system...

Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and his face became more solemn, "There is a guy with a vision over there."

As Hokage, he certainly knew why his village was strong.

One is the large number of ninjas, and the other is the education system.

These two allow Konoha to have a steady stream of soldiers, and outstanding rookies keep emerging.

Although the medical ninja system has not fully demonstrated its value, in the past few years, judging from the reduction in the death rate of Konoha ninjas, it is enough to see its benefits for the long-term development of the village.

"Shain has already won the dragon vein, and if he learns Konoha's education system and medical ninja system, he will become a strong enemy of Konoha in the future." Sarutobi thought for a while, and picked up the writing brush to write a reply.

Probably the content is that it can increase the financial and material benefits, but it is not enough to send an embassy to study abroad.
