Chapter 453 Force Field Deflector, The End of the Third Shinobi World War
When Lu Jin sought revenge against Wu Gensheng, the young Lu Jin had already reached the level that Lu Lin is at now. However, it took even the talented Lu Jin seventy or eighty years to reach the third level.

If we really want to calculate it, Shimizu's current realm should be the middle stage of the first level.

The first level of the Reverse Rebirth Triad trains the skin, flesh, tendons, and meridians; the second level trains the blood, bones, and internal organs; and the third level transforms the entire body into an energy body.

The first level of skin cultivation is not difficult as long as one's life cultivation level is up to standard. As for the meridians, the Clear Water meridian has been basically opened. Now, the focus is on training the muscles.

At this stage, the effects of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage on Qi transformation and self-healing are not yet obvious; it can only strengthen the body's defense and power by circulating Qi on the body surface.

Upon reaching the second level, in addition to further enhancing defense and strength, one can also ignore some injuries that do not involve vital organs. Until the peak of the second level, when one can reconstruct the three cores, there are no more vital organs.

At the same time, the body gradually approaches that of a human infant in the embryonic stage during this process, defying its innate nature and gradually enhancing its ability to adapt to and absorb natural energy.

In his own villa, Shimizu stood naked in the room, looking at himself in the mirror.

His eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and his skin had a faint milky white fluorescence, with occasional wisps of white smoke.

"Not bad. This self-healing ability isn't very useful to the main body, but in the reverse life state, the boost to strength and defense depends on the intensity of one's own energy. It can also increase the speed at which energy is mobilized and refined within the body. This triple reverse life state has really given me some unexpected surprises."

Shimizu clenched her fist, turned off the first level of Reverse Life state, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her skin seems to have become a little lighter, but it hasn't developed into the pale complexion of the Otsutsuki clan; instead, it's a very healthy and fair complexion.

Could it be that cultivating the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage also has the effect of improving one's appearance?

No wonder Lu Jin, despite his age, still looks like a handsome old man.

The average appearance of the members of the Sanyi Sect should be quite good.

"Given the current cultivation level of this body, it should exhaust its foundation after reaching the second level, and can only gradually hone its skills. However, the original body has a deeper foundation and should be able to go further. Moreover, with a perfect ghost-transformed body, there is no need to worry about failing to reconstruct the three cores and internal organs during the breakthrough. It should not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching the peak of the second level or even the third level."

After pondering for a while, Shimizu put on his clothes again, returned to the laboratory, and began to work on another research result from this period.

Compared to the Reverse Life Triple Technique, which is more like a "cultivation technique," the Reversal of Eight Directions is more like a magic technique. However, like the Divine Art of the Wang family, it requires cultivating one's own Qi to a certain nature in order to influence the human body's magnetic field through Qi.

Compared to the Shen Tu, which has spatial properties, the requirements for Dao Zhuan Ba ​​Fang are not as high. Two months is more than enough to get started.

The reason it took so long was that Shimizu spent that time building a force field deflector in order to realize his vision.

"What were the experimental results?"

In the laboratory, Shimizu looked at a huge spherical furnace in front of her and asked Liao Fan beside her.

Liao Fan's talent seems to be the highest among the young disciples of the Mo Sect who participated in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Not only is he talented in cultivation, but he also has strong practical skills in scientific research and is proficient in mechanical and electronic equipment. Even without Qing Shui, he would most likely become a leading figure in academia in the future.

As for now, under the influence of Shimizu, he has obtained a senior professional title at the age of thirty-one and has been selected as a young outstanding talent.

He was mainly Shimizu's assistant on this force field deflector project, and Ma Xianhong also worked on it.

"It's a bit worse than expected. Using electricity to influence magnetism, and then using magnetism to control force, is theoretically similar to the principle of a tokamak device. However, it can effectively influence the force field outside the device. Using an arc reactor as the core and a cryogenic cooling device to achieve superconductivity influencing the magnetic field, we have created a force field generator."

Liao Fan said to Qing Shui.

"Force field generator?"

Shimizu looked at the stove in front of him and seemed to understand something.

Liao Fan explained:
"Yes, it's just a generator, not a deflector. The difficulty of controlling the energy in this is too great. It's not as easy as we superhumans can manipulate Qi with such precision. We are still manipulating it from two different levels. Size is relatively easy to control, as we only need to control the energy output efficiency. But direction is very difficult, not to mention overcoming the pressure from all directions that an object has to withstand when moving at high speed."

Shimizu stroked his chin, glanced at Liao Fan's expression, and knew that he still had suggestions to offer.

Do you have a solution?

“It’s not me, it’s Ma Xianhong. His idea is to directly build more force field generators to form a three-dimensional matrix structure. For example, he would place four force field generators in a cone shape, so that the force field can be controlled by adjusting the size of each force field generator.”

Shimizu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

This method may be a bit old-fashioned, but it is indeed an old-fashioned way to solve the problem.

"Theoretically feasible, but considering the mutual cancellation between force fields, designing the optimal placement structure and control algorithm would be a challenging mathematical problem."

Furthermore, these force field generators would need to be equipped with an AI-assisted supercomputer for real-time control and coordination. Four would definitely not be sufficient; although they can locate three-dimensional space, if one were to fail unexpectedly, a fifth or sixth would be needed to immediately replace it, requiring immediate changes to the computational load and algorithms.

After thinking for a while, Shimizu pointed out several potential problems.

Liao Fan continued:
“We have considered all of these, but I think at least with the current technological capabilities, we can solve the problem of manpower shortage, talent shortage, and even domestic resources are not enough. There are certain specific mathematics majors that have not yet been developed in China.”

Shimizu waved his hand.

“I will handle this issue. I will bring over some relevant personnel in the next few days to set up the framework.”

He now has the ability to mobilize most of the country's high-tech talents, and when needed, he can also bring over academicians to work for him.

Whether it's personnel or equipment, the entire country will support him and solve all his needs.

As for those talented people from abroad, if he's willing to spread the word, many would be willing to come to him.

Of course, there are bound to be quite a few people with ulterior motives, but there are also corresponding censorship and countermeasures in place. As long as we are careful enough, we can avoid making any major mistakes.

……

...The Naruto world.

Time flies, and it is already the end of the 42nd year of Sunagakure.

The war between Sunagakure and Konoha has ended, but that does not mean the Third Shinobi World War has actually not ended.

The two Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts of Iwagakure were captured alive by Sunagakure, and Iwagakure also lost thousands of Iwagakure ninja. The battle broke its backbone, and the huge ninja village was barely held up by Onoki and Yotsuchi, and it became the bottom of the five great ninja villages.

It's even worse than in the original timeline when the Fourth Kazekage was killed and Gaara was chosen as the Kazekage.

At least they still have the Tailed Beasts, and above them are Chiyo and Ebizo, who are over seventy years old but still able to fight, two pillars of stability, which can stabilize their base.

At this point, Onoki was in a complete panic.

With the people of Iwagakure Village in turmoil, Onoki turned his attention to the neighboring village.

He certainly wouldn't dare to provoke Sunagakure again, but there's still Takigakure!

They have seven tails, okay!

Hanzo led Amegakure in a fierce battle with Kumogakure in Takigakure. At first, Takigakure tried to intimidate them by putting on a show, but they were exposed and didn't dare to utter a sound. Not only did they lose the Seven-Tails, but they also exposed the Hero's Water, which was their trump card.

This thing is used to gain power by sacrificing one's life. It's not something you necessarily have to use, but no major ninja village wouldn't want it, at least in a situation where death is inevitable, it would give you a chance to fight to the death.

No one wants to die, but having undergone professional ninja training and the trials of war, at least most ninjas dare to face death.

If they believe death has any meaning.

So now, Amegakure and Kumogakure are not only fighting over the Seven-Tails, but also over the ancient tree that produces the Hero's Water.

Even though this thing can only be produced in small quantities every hundred years and the stock is not large, it is still a valuable item that a ninja village can keep as a treasure.

Unfortunately, Iwagakure entered the fray a little too late.

Hashirama Senju wanted to mediate the last war in the ninja world, and when Hanzo saw that Konoha was about to get involved, he also brought over Sunagakure, who was the big brother behind Amegakure.

Without the support of Sunagakure, Amegakure, in its current state, would find it difficult to stand up to Konoha.

Hanzo had painstakingly accumulated his wealth over the years, which was enough to deal with Kumogakure. But if another major ninja village came along, he would definitely be outmatched. And if that major ninja village was Konoha, which still possessed dominant power, then he would definitely be finished.

With the mediation of Konoha and Sunagakure, the war in Takigakure quickly ended six months after the war between Konoha and Sunagakure concluded, thus ending the Third Shinobi World War, which had lasted for a year and a half.

After negotiations among several factions, the Land of Waterfall was divided into three parts. The half of the territory closer to Amegakure belonged to Amegakure, and the Seven-Tails also belonged to Amegakure, but they had to spend a large sum of money to buy it from the village of Waterfall.

From then on, Takigakure Village, along with its remaining 50% territory and the ancient tree that could produce Hero's Water, joined Kumogakure.

So the money will eventually flow to Kumogakure, but before that, Takigakure will have to take a portion of it, along with Hero's Water, as a settlement fee between Sunagakure and Konoha.

For Takigakure, it's hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain. It seems like they threw everything away, but they also joined Kumogakure, a large ninja village, where they can receive better protection. Apart from the fact that the former Takigakure leaders can no longer act arrogantly in Kumogakure, it seems that no one has any complaints.

Meanwhile, the Iwagakure faction, led by Onoki, was in a state of panic, but had no solution.

They entered the game too late in the Land of Waterfalls, and their strength was insufficient, so they couldn't seize any benefits.

As the defeated party, Iwagakure is now in a much worse situation than Konoha, despite being allies with Konoha.

Konoha, at least, had a strong foundation. Although many people died, it was still severely damaged. Without the Third Hokage, it not only lost the Land of Rivers, which served as a buffer zone, but also lost a full fifth of its territory. However, it had the rising star Minato Namikaze, the emergence of Might Guy, a large number of middle-aged and older generation experts to stabilize the situation, and Orochimaru, who turned the tide at the most critical moment by timely summoning Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Otherwise, Konoha's fate would not have been much better.

Compared to Konoha, Iwagakure was much more unlucky. Many people died, and they even lost two tailed beasts. If they didn't find a solution, they might not even be able to maintain their status as a major ninja village in a few years.

Kumogakure itself is not part of the Sunagakure alliance, nor is it part of the Konoha and Iwagakure alliance. However, because the war with Amegakure has tied down a lot of the forces belonging to Sunagakure, Sunagakure sees them as being more inclined to side with Konoha.

However, Sunagakure also knows that Kumogakure is trying to be a middleman, taking advantage of its geography and its own strength.

If Sunagakure has the advantage, they will side with Konoha. If Konoha has the advantage, Kumogakure will definitely launch an attack on Konoha without hesitation.

So, whether it's Konoha or Sunagakure, as long as one side can't completely overwhelm the other, they will have to try to win over Kumogakure by promising them benefits.

Even if Konoha and Sunagakure knew what Kumogakure was planning, no matter how disgusted they were, they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

Just like in this Ninja World War, did the Hidden Cloud Village defeat the Hidden Rain Village?

not at all.

But they still made a lot of money, essentially paying some casualties in exchange for the Hero's Water and half of the Land of Waterfalls, as well as annexing the village of Waterfalls that had been ravaged by the war.

Even Mitokado Homura and Namikaze Minato, the mediators sent by Konoha, were envious of this achievement.

As for those who benefited the most, they were naturally the victors of this war: Sunagakure and Amegakure.

The former expanded its territory, occupying the Land of Rivers and seizing a large portion of the richest land, the Land of Fire, and exchanging a part of it for a mountain range on the border of the Land of Rain and part of the Caspian Sea.

As for Amegakure, it reaped the most benefits in this Ninja World War.

Apart from the half of the Land of Waterfall that was taken away, several other small countries, such as the Land of Grass and the Land of Gold, were also completely annexed. In addition, there was a piece of territory that originally belonged to the Land of Fire that was left after being exchanged with the Sand Village. The Land of Rain's current territory is quite large, not much smaller than the Land of Water, one of the original five great nations.
