Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 236 Ninja World Energy
The Aburame clan also exhibits similar traits, though not as pronounced as the Kurama clan. However, the Aburame clan does not demonstrate significant prowess in physical combat.

If equipped with aircraft armor, its aerial combat capabilities would undoubtedly be unparalleled in the ninja world.

It seems that we can communicate and exchange ideas more with the Kurama and Aburame clans in the future. If the relationship can be further improved, we can lend a helping hand, especially to the Kurama clan. In the last Shinobi World War, they contributed a lot to Konoha Village, but suffered extremely heavy casualties and have already begun to decline.

Of course, if the two clans are as conservative and rigid as the Hyuga clan, collude with the Konoha leadership, and do not follow the will of the people, then I can only say sorry, the flying armor will have to be left for the fish, bird, and dog clans to use.

"The techniques of the Sky Ninja are a perfect match for my mecha puppets."

The aircraft armor technology can add wings to mecha puppets, giving them aerial combat capabilities; the chakra cannon can compensate for the mecha puppets' lack of single-target attack power, essentially adding magical attack power to the tank; and the chakra shield can further enhance the mecha puppets' defensive capabilities.

The mecha puppet was originally modified from Ebizo's mirror puppet, and its physical defense has already reached an extremely high level. The only slight deficiency is in its ninjutsu defense.

Now that we have obtained the Chakra Shield technology, even this minor shortcoming has been made up for, and our already terrifying defensive power has been raised to another level.

"Although the modified mecha puppet's combat power has skyrocketed, which is good, it consumes too much energy."

Whether it's flying, chakra cannons, or even chakra shields, all require energy support. Relying solely on a ninja's own chakra to replenish it is clearly far from sufficient.

It seems that the reason why the Kong ninja's strength is so weak is not only because they spent all their money on the Angkor Fortress, but also because they often supplied these energy-consuming giants with chakra, which led to insufficient nutrition and prevented them from improving their strength much.

No wonder the Sky Ninja coveted the Nine-Tails' power; it's all because of chakra energy.

Moreover, the zero-tail manufacturing technology is very crude. Even with his current knowledge, he can roughly judge that the technology is not very mature and cannot manufacture zero tails at all.

Shennong was able to create the Zero-Tails most likely because he stole some techniques that Orochimaru left behind in Konoha. Only a genius like Orochimaru could create such a miraculous creature as the Zero-Tails.

Orochimaru was able to clone one of the Eight-Tails' horns using only some of its tissue cells, which shows just how advanced his technology is. Creating a flawed product like the Zero-Tails was no challenge for him at all.

"We can ask Orochimaru for help with creating the Zero Tail later. There's no rush. The most urgent thing is to find the energy so that the mecha puppets can quickly become combat-ready."

Angkor Fortress is not needed for the time being. If we want to modify the mecha golems, we can first remove the equipment from the fortress and install it directly. Let the shadow clones spend ten to fifteen days to complete one or two emergency units. The main problem is energy.

"For now, we can let Samehada absorb the prisoners' chakra to hold out for a while, but it's not a long-term solution."

Sasuke Umino frowned slightly, realizing that continuously obtaining a large amount of energy was not so simple.

He did know where the energy was in the ninja world, but it was difficult to obtain it now. The tailed beasts and the Paradise Box of Hozuki Castle were not worth mentioning. The dragon vein beneath the Loulan Kingdom was a good choice, but unfortunately it was located in the Land of Wind, and the dragon vein was not simple.

Besides the dragon vein, the life stones from the Gagrall mine are also quite good, but I don't know where they're hidden.

Of course, besides these, he also thought of an artificial method: using the Nine-Tails' chakra to cultivate pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If he could cultivate eight or ten pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the energy problem for the mecha puppets would be solved immediately.

The training of a pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, like the creation of the Zero-Tails, requires time. Currently, we are in the midst of the Ninja War and will soon be going to the front lines again, so we urgently need the upgraded mecha puppet.

"Where in the ninja world can you find any unclaimed energy?"

Sasuke Umino stroked his chin, deep in thought.

He even spread out a map, thought long and hard, and actually remembered a good source of energy.

At this moment, his finger was resting on the Bear Kingdom.

However, he did not go to the Kingdom of Bears immediately, but instead removed several energy storage systems from the Angkor Fortress.

These energy storage systems, though originating from the same source as those on the aircraft armor, can store far more energy, making them a perfect fit for the over five-meter-tall mecha golem.

After all, the energy storage system on the aircraft is far from sufficient for the mecha puppet to activate the chakra cannon and energy shield, unless multiple units can be combined for use.

However, even with the technical data, he is not yet able to produce such an energy storage system on his own. Considering the cost-effectiveness, it would be better to dismantle the energy storage systems of the chakra cannons on Angkor Fortress. The energy storage systems on the aircraft armor can be kept to equip the family's air force, or even installed on those Jonin puppets for use by shadow clones.

With the flying armor of the Jonin puppet, the shadow clones can use dual-machine manipulation to control it, which can easily reach the level of Jonin, or even stronger.

With the current benefits of cultivating the Spirit Transformation Technique, it wouldn't be difficult for someone like Sasori of the Red Sand to become an army single-handedly and possess the power to destroy a country.

When facing skilled opponents, the upgraded mecha puppets can handle them. As for the weak ninjas, they can be dealt with by the Shadow Clones and the group of Shinigami puppets. If they encounter a Kage-level powerhouse and can't win, they can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape. Now, in this dangerous ninja world, they finally have the power to protect themselves.

Of course, all of this requires the support of energy.

So, Umino Sasuke brought the energy storage system to the fortress dungeon, and had Samehada absorb chakra one by one, then used chakra transfer to recharge these energy storage systems.

When it comes to absorbing Shennong's chakra, this guy actually has the ability to resist. Obviously, even with shackles on and his chakra sealed, his taijutsu, which he has practiced for many years to activate his body, far surpasses that of ordinary ninjas, and he is not so easy to subdue.

Unfortunately, facing Umino Sasuke, who had mastered the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound and was like a humanoid summoning beast, Shennong's taijutsu was futile, no matter how strong it was. With a gentle press from Samehada, Shennong collapsed to the ground, unable to move even a finger.

After draining all of his chakra, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he had Samehada coil around Shennong to prevent him from waking up, and placed his hands on Shennong's head.
