It's true that puppets can fly, but that's all thanks to the puppeteer's chakra power.

Something this big would probably be difficult for even Shukaku to fly.

Although those two wings look a lot like a bird's, judging from the commotion it made when it just took off, this thing...

It must be at least several tens of tons, right?

Can it fly using a chakra energy pool?

Chiyo didn't believe that there were tailed beast jinchūriki inside acting as power banks, but could they really fly by relying on that so-called chakra energy?

Seeing her grandmother's surprised expression, Scorpion's lips curled up slightly.

"Grandma, you're a puppeteer too. What do you think of my masterpiece?"

Chiyo's pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this.

“Is this your work?”

Compared to his own grandson, this grandson seems to have a higher talent!

They've created these giant golems. Let alone flying, even just being able to run would be terrifying, right?

"How is this possible!"

Why can it fly?

Seeing her grandmother's incredulous expression, Scorpion felt a sense of superiority.

“I understand your thinking. Such a behemoth would need a massive amount of chakra to fly. However, we can’t just consider the weight factor. Its ability to soar through the sky also relies on aerodynamics and structural engineering. In addition to inertia, its flight over long periods of time depends even more on the atmosphere above the sky.”

Scorpion gave a simple explanation

Chiyo understood. It turned out that only takeoff required a large amount of chakra, and because of the airport, using inertia to fly could greatly conserve chakra.

Chiyo marveled.

If this thing were used in war, what kind of force could take it down?

It can airdrop ninjas, or even rain down explosive tags to cover any corner. If it were used as a tool of war, who could withstand it?

"Grandma, let's go. Our plane will fly through the Province of Rain and then arrive at the Province of Wind."

"The whole trip will take about a few hours. I'll explain anything you might have questions about along the way."

"Crossing the Land of Rain??"

Chiyo was pulled back to reality by Scorpion's words. As someone who grew up during wartime, her first thought about anything was always related to the scale and aspects of war.

Hearing Scorpion say that the plane would be crossing the Land of Rain, she found it hard to believe.

Thick cumulus clouds hang above the Land of Rain year after year, interspersed with thunder and lightning. Can this giant puppet really withstand such natural forces?

However, once the plane entered the province of Amazing Rain, Chiyo realized she had made a grave mistake.

"Is this the Land of Rain?"

Looking at the clear blue sky and the endless greenery, Chiyo fell into deep doubt.

The Rain Country of my memory is nothing like this. Just look at the perpetually damp ground and the dark clouds that constantly shroud the sky—all of that shows that although the Rain Country is inland, it experiences an island-and-ocean climate every day.

"Your world doesn't seem to be exactly the same as ours. Your Rain Country is vastly different from our Rain Country!"

Chiyo sighed

What a blessed land and outstanding people!

Scorpion didn't speak, but simply looked at her and gave her a meaningful smile.

As the plane soared, looking down at the ground from this vantage point a kilometer high, Chiyo suddenly felt her heart expand considerably.

"You may not know this, but I have passed through the Land of Rain several times. They are surrounded by towering peaks, and the entire area is like a basin. The clouds cannot be dispersed by the wind, so the rain falls to the ground and turns into water, and the water rises up and becomes clouds again."

"Wait! What is that?!"

Chiyo had lost count of how many times she had widened her eyes; her gaze was fixed intently on the mountain range below.

That's right!

Absolutely right!

This is the same situation as in the Land of Rain!

But why

Chiyo stared in shock as the mountains were cleaved in two, a chasm a full kilometer wide separating the towering peaks of the Land of Rain. She couldn't believe it.

Scorpion gazed at the ravine that separated the vast, endless mountain range, tearing through the heavens and earth, and was filled with deep emotion.

"This mountain range is the largest in the Rain Province. Just as you said, it blocks the airflow from the outside, turning the entire area into a basin. The accumulated rain clouds can't escape, and gradually the Rain Province becomes a place where sunlight never shines, making it difficult for most plants and animals to grow."

Chiyo listened to what Scorpion said. In her world, the Land of Rain faced another serious situation: whenever war broke out, the Land of Rain, being the border region of the Earth, Wind, and Fire kingdoms, would often become a battlefield.

This is also one of the important reasons why people are living in misery and animals and plants cannot survive.

"The people of the former Rain Province lived in dire straits, but thankfully, the Emperor appeared!"

As Scorpion spoke, his words began to carry a fanatical tone.

"After unifying the ninja world, he came to the Rain Province and used his vast and powerful strength to open a passage from the Rain Province to the outside world!"

"Not only that, the Emperor also diverted the largest river in the Rain Province to the Wind Province!"

"This opening and this river have changed the rainy climate of the Rain Province and brought a precious source of life to the Wind Province!"

"This is a gift and a blessing he bestowed upon the people of our two provinces after the war to appease them!"

Scorpion's words revealed excitement; compared to the puppets he played with, the Emperor's art far surpassed his own!

If he is a brilliant star, then the emperor is a giant sun that can illuminate the bright moon!

Chiyo felt a sense of despair as she watched her grandson so highly praise someone, and as she observed what else she saw.

Is the situation in the Land of Rain easy to resolve?

Easy to solve

If we follow this method, even a fool could figure it out.

But is the situation in the Land of Rain easy to resolve?

Difficult to solve

Even a single ninja, even one at the Jonin or Kage level, might be able to carve out a small path through tireless, three-generation inheritance.

But they wanted to use their own power to change this natural environment.

Chiyo can say with certainty that no one can do that.

no one!

But now someone has done it!

No wonder he was revered as an emperor! No wonder everyone held him in such fervent reverence!

Even in the 64th Ninja World, she believed that the emperor's actions would be enough to win over nearly half of the people of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain.

Chiyo's heart sank; she felt somewhat hopeless about the plan to revive Sunagakure.

With such a powerful being, what use would my million-strong puppet army be?

From the air, Chiyo could see that the river was longer than she had imagined.

It covers almost half of the land within the Land of Wind.

No one understood the plight of the Wind Kingdom better than her.

The Land of Wind lacked such a mother river, but now that it exists, the people can irrigate their land, which in turn allows for agricultural development and livestock farming.

This move can be said to have saved countless lives and benefited the people for generations to come!

"Grandma, if you ask me, there's nothing to miss about your miserable, pitiful world. When you stand next to my grandma, it's no exaggeration to say you look like her mother, even though you're the same age!"

"Grandma, join the Empire! Use your puppetry skills to bring convenience and benefits to the Empire, the Province of Wind, and the people of Sunagakure!"

Chapter 87 Jiraiya, you should be the Hokage!

Chiyo's face showed struggle and hesitation.

"Grandma, I understand what you insist on, but it's meaningless. Civilization ultimately needs progress. If outdated traditions hinder the progress of the times, shouldn't we abandon them without hesitation?"

Chiyo still held firm to her beliefs; she wanted to see what Sunagakure looked like before making any decisions.

The next moment, her face showed terror.

what's the situation?

How could I hesitate?

Did I just betray the will of the Sands?

How could I possibly want to betray the village, betray the daimyo?

Damn it! This empire is terrifying!

They're so good at brainwashing!

Chiyo suppressed the turmoil in her heart, frantically telling herself not to betray the village. If she betrayed the village, then no one could save her brothers and sisters suffering in dire straits.

But when she saw the scattered oases and vast fields of wheat in the Land of Wind, she wavered again.

What is the purpose of a village's existence?

What is the purpose of ninjas?

What is the meaning of her existence?

Ultimately, isn't it all about creating a peaceful and harmonious environment where everyone can live and work in peace, have enough to eat, and enjoy a good life?

Now that all these things are possessed by the empires of this world, what is there left for me to hold onto?

"By the way, Scorpion, you mentioned your Red Sand Machines? With over two thousand chakra beasts? I'd like to ask you, what does this organization you're talking about do?"

Chiyo wanted to learn more about her grandson's situation, hoping to use this as a starting point to analyze the state of the world.
