"emission!"
With an order, the ninja standing on the training ground raised what looked like a firearm made of some kind of wood and steel.
The caliber of the firearm is just big enough to accommodate a kunai shot.
After the ninja pressed the trigger of the gun, a kunai immediately rushed out from the dark barrel like electricity. It hit the target twenty meters away with extremely rapid speed and penetrated deeply into the wood. Among the piles, only the ring at the end of the kunai was left exposed.
It is conceivable that if it is fired at the human body, it is likely to penetrate the human flesh and blood.
Moreover, after that, the ninja who used the gun pressed the trigger for the second time without any hesitation.
The interval was only an instant, and the second kunai was also fired from the barrel.
It also hit the wooden stake with incomparable precision, and the degree of rooting was the same as the first kunai.
The speed at which guns fire kunai is much faster than that of ordinary ninjas.
Moreover, the structure inside the firearm can attach wind attribute chakra to the kunai, increasing the penetrating power of the kunai.
After launching kunai twice in a row, there is no need for a third time to verify.
This continuous-fire kunai gun is the latest kunai gun modified by the Demon Country's military.
The purpose is to innovate the current tactics of the ninja world and provide sufficient solid military protection for the Kingdom of Demons.
The ninja put away his continuous-fire kunai gun and came to a man in a white coat outside the field.
The other person has stubble on his chin, a short head, and a monocle on his right eye. He looks quite energetic and intelligent.
"Doctor, the test has been completed."
The ninja bowed respectfully.
"I saw it, thank you for your hard work."
The man nodded, quite satisfied with the kunai gun in the ninja's hand.
The technology of kunai gun was not originally owned by the Kingdom of Demons, but was a ninja tool of the Kingdom of Kong.
This kind of ninja tool is not very technical. As long as you understand its structure and have enough materials, you can easily imitate it.
However, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Demon Country, such ninja tools are undoubtedly outdated and popular ninja tools.
The reason is that the kunai guns of the Kong no Kuni era had the disadvantages of being slow to reload kunai, not fast, and lacking in penetrating power.
It is similar to the power of a normal ninja when throwing kunai, but the flexibility is quite low.
In order to change this little ninja tool, it has been improved several times in the past few years.
First, the firing speed of the kunai gun was increased, and then in order to increase the penetrating power of the kunai, the military secretly developed an internal device that could attach wind attribute chakra on its own without the need for ninjas.
In order to compress the space inside the small kunai gun, I went through a lot of trouble before finally completing it.
Now, the power of the kunai gun has been generally increased to a point where even ordinary ninjas have difficulty defending against it.
Of course, the prerequisite for a ninja to be difficult to defend against is that the opponent is not aware of it and is being targeted. The ninja's dynamic vision and the speed of the instant teleportation technique can still barely avoid it. Unless it is a large-area covering attack, the ninjas have nowhere to dodge.
The most important thing is that this kind of firearm does not require a ninja to control it. Any ordinary person can use this kind of ninja tool to easily kill a beast.
This is the most convenient part of this ninja tool.
There are too many powerful ninja tools in this world, but the conditions for using those ninja tools are very strict. Some powerful ninja tools even require the user's life force as a cost before they can be used.
In the eyes of men, such things are not enough to achieve innovation.
But it's still a magical thing that only ninjas can play with.
It is precisely for this reason that this kind of practical ninja tool that can be popularized on a large scale is extremely precious.
Therefore, the technology of such a ninja tool needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the leakage of the ninja tool must also be strictly restricted.
"Dr. Pianqi."
While the man was thinking about things, a shout came to his ears.
The man raised his head and saw a man walking towards him.
"Master Shiraishi, why do you have time to come to my place?"
The man was quite surprised, but he still nodded to Shiraishi to show respect.
"Let me take a look at the situation here. How is it, doctor? How is the research on the kunai gun?"
Shiraishi asked concernedly.
The man, Dr. Kataki, pondered for a moment and said to Shiraishi: "In general, the things are almost there, but the chakra attachment attribute device is still not perfect, and it takes up too much space inside the firearm. And the kunai is stored in it." The sealing space also needs to be further expanded. Otherwise, every time the kunai gun fires twenty, it will be necessary to refill the kunai, which is too cumbersome."
The number of kunai a standard ninja uses in a battle is about fifteen to twenty.
If you are a ninja who is proficient in ninja tools, you can use more than hundreds of kunai and shurikens in battle, or even more.
Although the kunai gun developed by the military is very powerful, ordinary people can use it at will if they pick up this ninja tool. There is no threshold for use, and there is a probability of killing ninjas in battle.
If 10,000 soldiers were equipped with such ninja tools and carried out a full-coverage attack, it would be even more deterrent.
A single kunai may not be very powerful, but if 10,000 kunai are launched together and no powerful defensive ninjutsu is used, it will be difficult for even a ninja with a Sharingan to avoid relying on dynamic vision with just physical skills. , will be shot.
Because the coverage is too dense and too broad.
But as he said, the kunai gun is not without flaws. There is an upper limit of twenty for the number of kunai stored. The chakra attachment attribute device needs to be further optimized to save space and optimize the remaining parts inside the gun.
Although the current kunai gun can be widely popularized on a large scale, the cost and technical capabilities mean that it is still not fully popularized and can only be popularized in a small part.
"Can we make 10,000 kunai guns within two years?"
Shiraishi asked.
Dr. Pianqi pushed up the monocle on his right eye, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's probably a bit difficult. Because the current kunai gun is very expensive and requires more budget, and it will also disrupt other departments. The order of research. If we create a thousand optimal-level kunai guns and then create 9,000 inferior kunai guns, it should be possible."
No matter how convenient the kunai gun is, it is still impossible to achieve any effective results by changing ninja tactics.
You can only catch the enemy by surprise.
If the ninjas are prepared, the threat of kunai guns will be greatly reduced.
The reason why this kind of ninja tool is researched is not to provide it for the military's ninja troops, but to equip ordinary soldiers in the military with this kind of ninja tool.
Currently, the Demon Kingdom's military has a total of more than 50,000 soldiers, and this is without a large-scale military expansion.
However, even so, the ninja troops only accounted for about five to six thousand people.
The security forces of various towns in the Kingdom of Ghosts are composed of a mix of ninjas and ordinary soldiers.
In order to improve the strength of these ordinary soldiers and enhance the comprehensive strength of military soldiers, this was the original intention of developing the Kunai Gun.
For the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts, which advocates teamwork, although individual excellence will be valued, the improvement of overall strength is equally important.
The team nature of soldiers is more precious than anything else.
Soldiers without team spirit are like a bunch of lambs being slaughtered on the battlefield, with no deterrent effect.
Those who want to truly improve these low-level soldiers can only rely on popular ninja tools such as kunai guns, rather than ninja tools that require conditions to be used.
That kind of ninja tool can only be controlled by an outstanding ninja.
"Is that so? Let's do it this way first. In short, the faster the better."
"I understand, and within the next two years, I will try to do it."
Dr. Pianqi nodded solemnly.
"I'm not as good as you in this area of research, so I won't give any random orders here. If the budget is insufficient, you can go to the finance department for reimbursement."
"If necessary, I will certainly not be polite."
Dr. Pianqi smiled slightly, feeling much more relaxed.
The country of ghosts has a strong economic strength, which allows him to maximize his talent and learning.
If he hadn't met Shiraishi, he would probably have lived a life without hope in the ninja world.
The ninjas did not value his knowledge very much, and it was natural that outsiders would be questioned and denied.
The nobles look down on his status as a commoner, and even if he goes there with a shy face, he will probably get a blank look.
This is also the reason why he joined the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Here he does not need to worry about money and materials, nor does he need to travel around to work for his family's livelihood.
Occasionally, I will debate with other researchers and develop my own ideas.
The only thing I need to do is to give full play to my talents here.
"That's good. By the way, I have one thing that I would like to ask Doctor for help with."
Shiraishi said suddenly.
"Help? What is it, Master Shiraishi?"
Dr. Pianqi was a little curious.
Although he and Shiraishi are both scientific researchers, he and Shiraishi specialize in different fields.
Shiraishi is good at the fields of medicine and life, but he is better at civilian and military technology, such as the military's kunai guns and flying ninja tools, including more new weapons that are still under development, all of which are supervised by him .
"It's that child Asuka. I want that child to study with you for a while. He seems to be very interested in your research."
"Master Asuka? Is he interested in this?"
Dr. Pianqi was slightly surprised.
Uchiha Asuka, he knew.
But he didn't expect Shiraishi to ask Asuka to follow him.
As far as he knew, Asuka's mother, Uchiha Ruri, was a powerful ninja.
It stands to reason that Asuka's future is destined to become a ninja.
If you follow him, he won't be able to teach others ninjutsu.
"Well, Asuka is more interested in the things here than in ninjutsu. Moreover, his character is not suitable for development in the ninja field. I plan to let him develop here."
"Really? There is no problem. As long as Master Feiniao can persist, I agree with both hands."
Dr. Pianqi nodded in agreement.
But I didn't say that Asuka will definitely succeed here.
In their line of work, success and failure are inevitable.
Even he will fall into the trap of failure many times.
Moreover, the accumulation of knowledge is also very important. For a child, it may be quite difficult.
However, since Shiraishi requested this, he could not refuse.
Think of it as recruiting an assistant.
If you really have talent, it's not too late to cultivate it.
"Then I'll leave it to you, doctor. Then I won't disturb your work. Please pay more attention to the equipment development."
When Baishi saw Dr. Pianqi agreeing, he turned and left.

Click.
With a gentle sound, the white wall suddenly turned into a transparent color.
Normally, this wall is actually a transparent color. After turning on the switch, the lines on the wood appear and begin to flow on the transparent wall.
That's the light of chakra.
Even if an outsider sneaks in, there is no hidden entrance here.
Asuka looked at all this curiously.
This is the most important comprehensive research base underneath the First Military District of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
The place he entered now was the staff's private space.
Like opening a revolving door, Asuka pushed open the transparent door flashing with chakra patterns and entered the room.
As soon as you enter the room, you can see a middle-aged man with a monocle on his face, sitting in front of a computer and typing on the keyboard. The monocle reflects the light from the screen, and he is working hard.
What appears on the computer screen is a design drawing of some very large tool, which is very precious research information.
"Is this Mr. Bird? Please sit down."
Pian Qi didn't expect Shiraishi to send Asuka over so quickly, but he didn't care about it, he just entertained Asuka with a normal attitude.
"Hello, Dr. Pianqi."
Asuka bowed politely, and then sat on a chair not far from Dr. Pianqi, with a somewhat reserved expression on his face.
"You don't need to be so polite. I have already heard about you from Mr. Shiraishi. There is no problem in learning from me. However, being in our line of work will be very hard, and it will also be accompanied by the pain of failure... Well, It’s a bit inappropriate to tell you this now. Well, here is a book that Master Asuka can take back and read. In a month, I will conduct a test on Master Asuka. After the test, we will continue to learn more about it. "
Dr. Pianqi stood up from his chair, picked up a heavy book next to the computer, and placed it in front of Asuka.
Asuka took it and found that the book was very heavy, but for Asuka, it did not feel strenuous.
"I understand, Dr. Pianqi."
Asuka knows that this is a test for him by Dr. Pianqi, and he also cherishes this opportunity that his father Shiraishi has given him, and he must seize it.
"Well, that's it. I still have some things to take care of here. Master Feiniao can visit here at will. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me for advice during every week's vacation. I have it all at that time. null."
Asuka does not completely give up his identity as a ninja, and often has to go to ninja school to learn ninja skills.
Every Saturday and weekend are weekends.
At that time, it happened to be his weekend, so he had enough time to answer Asuka's questions.
As for talent, it still takes a while to observe, and you can't be too arbitrary.
Interest is just a stepping stone, but whether you can pry the door to scientific truth requires talent in this area, as well as the accumulation of diligent study.
After saying that, Dr. Pianqi picked up a stack of printed drawings and hurried out of the room, leaving Asuka alone to visit his office.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
On the closed training ground, after forming the seal, Liuli quickly ejected a huge fireball from his mouth and flew fiercely towards the distant wooden pile.
This was not over yet, Ruri's Sharingan suddenly began to change, taking the basic magatama form, and began to extend into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Mankado Sharingan in his left eye released a powerful eye force, which acted on the fireballs sprayed out.
In an instant, the fireball that flew out immediately expanded in a circle, burning the space with a terrifying attitude, and rapidly heating up the surrounding air.
Then, Liuli's figure disappeared from the spot, a hot and fierce lightning stayed in place and spun around, and the main body appeared in front of the huge fireball that was about to hit the wooden stake.
Without any hesitation, he held a dark red sword made of condensed chakra in his palm.
That is the sword that only appears when Susanoo is in his state.
A product embodied with chakra.
This kind of sword is difficult to cut through the powerful fireball technique that has been enhanced by the pupil technique.
However, his left eye continued to release its pupil power, focusing on the sword blade in his hand.
A layer of azure brilliance immediately adhered to the surface of the dark red sword blade, and it cut down the giant fireball without mercy.
The trajectory of the blade's slash left traces of thunder and lightning rubbing against the atmosphere, making a chirping sound.
The giant fireball was sliced perfectly flat in the middle, grazing both sides of Liuli's body and flew out. Only the corners of his clothes and hair were moved. Liuli stood there unscathed.
Liuli looked at the dark red sword blade in his hand, and the azure brilliance on it had not yet dispersed.
The trajectory of the sword that slashed the fireball left behind the straight traces of thunder and lightning that had worn away the atmosphere, as if it was trying to block the space, and it lingered for a long time.
Just looking at it from a distance will make your eyes sting like a sharp knife, making you unable to help but close your eyes.
Its sharpness makes space unobstructed in front of the blade.
Facing the amplified fire ball technique, it can be easily cut away with one sword.
And this is just the scaled-down version of the Susanoo Sword. If it unfolds in its full glory, the effect of the pupil technique on the blade will be even more obvious.
Liuli was extremely satisfied with her current state.
The Eight Thunder Divine Pupil Technique's own increase is also beyond imagination.
Especially the compatibility with Susanoo can greatly enhance the power of Susanoo. For this alone, it is worthy of being the exclusive pupil technique after opening the Mangekyou's eyes.
"Are you training on the Eight Thunder God Eye Techniques?"
Shiraishi walked in from the outside.
After seeing the whole process of Liuli's experiment with the pupil technique just now, he knew that Liuli was testing the power of the Eight Thunder God's pupil technique.
The Eye Technique of the Eight Thunder Gods is not a direct attack eye technique, but it works in terms of amplification.
Liuli has comprehensively improved all aspects of his abilities, especially his specialized attacks, to the extreme.
"Well, I just tested it, and I need to try something else next."
Liuli nodded.
"Although your Mangekyou Sharingan is very special and will not have too serious a negative impact on you, you should also pay attention to rest. If you use the pupil technique that consumes a lot of chakra, it will also put a huge load on the body. Here it is, remember to use it after you finish practicing."
Shiraishi took out a bottle less than the size of a palm from his pocket and threw it towards Liuli.
Liuli took it and found it was a bottle of eye drops.
But it shouldn't be an ordinary eye drop. This kind of eye drop can reduce the stress brought by Sharingan to the body.
Liuli accepted it calmly and put the bottle of special eye drops in his ninja bag for collection.
"By the way, what are you doing here? You're not just here to see my cultivation progress, are you? You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."
"Of course not, it's because of Asuka. I've sent him to Pian Qi, and I'm here to inform you."
"That's it."
Hearing the news, Liuli couldn't help but sigh.
Although in this world, becoming a ninja is not necessarily the right path.
But as Asuka's mother, she sincerely hopes that Asuka can inherit her position and become the next leader of the Uchiha clan.
However, Asuka not only lacks talent in this area, but also does not have much enthusiasm for the profession of ninja.
He lacks the mentality to become a powerful ninja.
If you are not willing, then no matter how hard you force it, it will not help. It is likely to be counterproductive, and may even cause Asuka to have rebellious thoughts.
"Don't be too disappointed. If Asuka really achieves something in this area, he and Yi Ji will complement each other in the future. Isn't this a good thing?"
Shiraishi said optimistically.
Liuli didn't say anything.
Although she didn't like Shiraishi's path, she had to admit that so-called science could really do a lot of things.
That is also a powerful path.
But that is not personal strength, but collective strength.
But Shiraishi is right, she also has a child named Yiji.
No matter who Kazuki's surname is, it can't change. She has the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing in her body and inherited the power of the Uchiha Sharingan.
"Speaking of which, how is Kazuki? Is she okay in Kirigakure Village?"
"No problem, she is living well in Kirigakure, and Yagura takes good care of her. She will come back from Kirigakure for vacation in a few days, and you can ask her yourself then."
"I always feel like time flies by so fast."
Before I knew it, it had been ten years since I left Konoha.
But Liuli felt that this seemed to have happened in a flash.
If you think about it carefully, all kinds of things have happened in the past ten years. Generally speaking, it is still relatively comfortable.
"It is indeed very fast. However, after a while, it will not be comfortable here."
Shiraishi means something.
Liuli knew what Shiraishi was referring to.
"It seems that you have successfully solved the problem in the Kingdom of You."
"Well, we have initially reached an agreement with the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Yu. Only the Kingdom of Wind needs to deal with the remaining part of the expansion plan."
Baishi's state of mind faintly fluctuated.
As long as the Kingdom of Wind's part of the target is completed, then the rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts will be unstoppable.
Today, as the repressive power of the five major powers is gradually weakening, there is no need to worry too much about their existence.
Besides, Yagura is still his ally.
The only things he faced were the pressure brought by the four ninja villages and Akatsuki.
Then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised:
"Next, let's hold a military meeting. Now it's time to formally determine the specific time to attack the Kingdom of Wind. I guess you and Ayane can't wait, right?"
