Upon hearing Ryuji's words, Wanlijiang declared beforehand, "Let me make this clear first, I am a ninja from Frost Village, and I will not betray the village to work for you."

"I don't need you to do anything for me." Ryuji chuckled lightly and said, "Just cooperate with me in my research."

"Research?"

"It's about studying your eyes."

"Then... how should I cooperate?"

"Hmm." Ryuji crossed his left arm over his chest and pinched his chin with his right hand, pondering, "First, gouge out his eyes and do a color light test to see how their structure differs from a normal person's."

"shrimp?"

"It is said that eye techniques involve applying chakra to the eyes to create special effects. It is estimated that a craniotomy will also be performed to see what the difference is between the nerve relationship between the brain and the eyes."

After saying that, seeing Wanlijiang staring in astonishment at what was behind him, he couldn't help but turn around and look.

It was completely empty, with nothing at all.

"What are you looking at?"

Long Er turned around in confusion, only to find the area empty except for the open gate swaying.

"Did this guy get scared and run away?"

Long Er was stunned.

You're so naive to believe something that's supposed to be a ghost story!

Thinking of Wan Lijiang's swagger when he was first brought up by his subordinates, and how he was now scared away by a few teasing words... the contrast between before and after made him laugh.

This guy actually has this side to him.

No wonder he came from the deep mountains!

……

Twenty minutes later.

Wan Lijiang was brought back.

Long Er stopped teasing her and instead had the puppet take her to clean off the filth before locking her up.

He had just finished studying it all night and didn't have time to study Eagle Eye yet.

The most important thing right now is to get the flight system working.

……

Time continues to pass.

The eleventh day, the twelfth day, the thirteenth day...

Ebizo captured sixteen intelligence teams from other factions, including nine sensory-type ninjas.

However, many ninjas also returned to their respective factions with intelligence.

The fourteenth day, the fifteenth day...

Ebizo has captured as many as twenty-three intelligence teams, almost from all forces in the ninja world.

But fewer and fewer teams came to gather intelligence, and all the Sand Village ninjas felt the calm before the storm.

Day 16.

Yekura and Rasa arrived with ten squads to help.

The seventeenth day.

A small team from Yunyin Village infiltrates Loulan.

Although they were discovered and killed in time by the puppet troops, the aftermath of the battle destroyed two towers.

The eighteenth day.

Three more squads infiltrated Loulan.

Although they were also discovered and killed by the puppet troops in time, the damage was greater than yesterday.

At the same time, Ryuji completed the formula transformation of the anti-gravity system, enabling it to be created using chakra as its energy core.

The 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th...

More and more ninjas arrived, attempting to sabotage the construction of the mechanical castle, and the battle intensified. The material density system under construction in the eastern region was disrupted, and some of the completed machines were destroyed.

Long Er secretly devoted himself to the construction of the anti-gravity system.

The 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th...

More and more people came to try to sabotage and hinder the construction of the mechanical castle by Sunagakure, and the battle became increasingly fierce. The construction work was severely damaged, and many people of Loulan were affected, with many suffering serious injuries.

Fortunately, no one died.

But everyone is under increasing pressure.

The thirtieth day.

On the morning of the last day of October, the anti-gravity system was finally completed.

Some people may wonder why the anti-gravity system was completed so quickly.

Because this is a mature technology.

Unlike the material density system and planetary engine, these are only first-generation products that Ryuji has just developed. They have not been used in practice, so their shortcomings are unknown and they have not been optimized. Naturally, they are troublesome and resource-intensive to build.

However, the anti-gravity system has been developed in the other world for four hundred years.

After four hundred years of continuous use to identify and optimize its shortcomings, this technology is now quite perfect. It only requires about 500 square meters of space, where the corresponding ninjutsu runes and inscriptions can be carved in a closed building.

It requires very little time and resources.

Other forces sent infiltrating Loulan to sabotage the area, but they were all drawn to the construction site of the material density system in the eastern region, which was being built with great fanfare. The anti-gravity system, on the other hand, was successfully completed quietly.

As Long Er established the Dragon Vein waterway connecting the anti-gravity system.

The anti-gravity system's magic array was fully activated, and approximately 5,000 square kilometers of land took to the air to the astonishment of itself and other forces.

"It really...it really flew!?"

Looking at the shrinking ground, Yecang said in disbelief.

Ebizo, Rosa, Sara, hundreds of Sand Village ninjas, and even all the people of Loulan watched this scene in disbelief, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Although everyone knew that this was about building a flying city, no one could predict whether it would succeed.

Moreover, when 5,000 square kilometers of land take flight... the visual impact it brings is unimaginable to those who have never witnessed it.

Even though they were ninjas who had traveled all over the ninja world and witnessed all sorts of strange things, they were still so shocked that they were speechless.

Finally, when the land reached an altitude of two thousand meters, the ascent ceased.

It's not that we can't go any higher, but the oxygen is thinner at high altitudes, so we need to let everyone gradually adapt over time.

Ryuji was the first to recover from his shock.

He clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention and then said, "The city wall hasn't been built yet. For everyone's safety, ordinary people are prohibited from coming to the border area, and adults should also keep an eye on the children."

Upon hearing this, many people smiled knowingly.

Everyone has experienced what it's like to have a bratty kid.

After a moment, everyone quieted down.

Ryuji continued, "During this period, many ninjas from other villages have come to gather intelligence, intending to sabotage our construction of the mechanical castle."

Those guys don't know what we're doing, but they know that once we successfully complete the construction, they won't be able to stop the rise of Sunagakure.

So even if they are mired in the quagmire of war, even if they are beaten to the point of barely surviving, they will still send people to sabotage and stop us.

But is it useful?

Useless?

The rise of Sunagakure is unstoppable.

No matter what methods the enemy uses, they cannot stop us.

Now that the city has taken to the skies, we still need to build subsequent flight systems, defense systems, industrial parks, agricultural parks, residential areas, administrative areas, military areas, and academy areas... This place will become the world's most fortified fortress, the safest, most advanced, and most comfortable city.

And your family, friends, and all the villagers of Sunagakure, even your sons, grandsons, and descendants... even after countless years, they will still live in this place.

It can help us realize our dreams and allow everyone to enjoy life with peace of mind.

But the ambition to conquer Sunagakure is not yet complete; we still need to work hard. Now that the forces from other villages can no longer harass us, whether what I've said can be achieved depends on everyone's efforts.

Let's cheer each other on!

"Ooooooooooo!!!!"

The morale boost from the partial victory and the bright future that Ryuji described to them filled everyone with enthusiasm.

……

ground.

The original Loulan site has become a deep pit.

Countless ninjas from other villages, who had been hiding nearby and were preparing to infiltrate and cause destruction under the cover of night, arrived at the edge of the deep pit.

The depth is circular, about a kilometer deep, but its length is difficult to measure. They could only see the figures on the other side as small as ants.

They looked at the deep pit, then at the shadows in the clouds, and fell silent, unable to recover for a long time.

"What should we do?"

A ninja from Iwagakure broke the silence, looking helplessly at his teammates and ninjas from other villages who had come for the same purpose.

This includes Konoha.

Neither of the two ninja villages, who were still fighting to the death in the Land of Grass, had any intention of becoming enemies at this moment.

Instead, they acted like allies, discussing countermeasures together.

But no matter how I thought about it, there was no way to solve it.

If they can't fly, they can't even get up there, let alone cause damage.

Besides, even if we could fly up there, what good would it do?

Under the unobstructed sky, they had nowhere to hide, and the moment they went up, an army of countless puppets came to greet them.

It's simply impossible for them to infiltrate the city and cause damage.

However, long-range attacks cannot reach that far.

"This mission has failed. We couldn't stop Sunagakure from manufacturing a secret weapon." After the Konoha ninjas came to this conclusion, the ninjas from the other ninja villages could only accept this frustrating and disheartening fact and then leave.

On the sand dunes several kilometers away.

Nagato, who was wrapped in a black robe, silently watched the islands floating in the sky for a while, then turned and left.

Beside him stood Jue, also shrouded in a black robe, his body half black and half white.

"That Long Er is amazing! He can make such a large piece of land fly into the sky," Bai Jue exclaimed in surprise, his tone somewhat exaggerated.

Black Zetsu also said in a deep voice, "Originally, I only spread rumors to cause trouble for Ayaki Ryuji, but I didn't expect them to come true. These flying islands... if a complete set of war machines is built on them, they will be natural invincible fortresses."

"It doesn't matter." Nagato said calmly. "He has his ways, and I have mine. Let's see who does it best later!"

"So what's the next step?"

"Back in Amegakure, to collect all the Tailed Beasts, we need even more and stronger power. Amegakure is in chaos now that Hanzo is gone; we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture him."

"and then?"

"Let's take over Amegakure first!"

"clear."

Black Zetsu responded calmly, but his heart sank.

Madara Uchiha's prediction of the situation was indeed correct; Ryuuji Ayaki had a huge impact on the plan.

The fortress was likely completed around the time the Third Shinobi World War ended.

Then it will be difficult to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, Nagato's changes are somewhat different from what was predicted. Is this good or bad?

(We must find Madara's proxy as soon as possible, otherwise we will have no way to control Nagato.)

As the sun set, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only their shadows on the ground growing longer and longer.

I found some information while browsing Tieba today.

Konoha City is indeed about 5,000 square kilometers, and the Death Forest on one side alone has a radius of 10 kilometers. The official guidebook has a full map comparison.

Moreover, I remember that in the manga, Kishimoto mentioned that Konoha was about the same size as a city-state in Germany.

I haven't looked at the information for too long, so I can't remember some things clearly. Influenced by that video on Bilibili, I thought I remembered it wrong. Now I realize that I was not wrong at first, so I have corrected it. The city of the mechanical city does not include the urban area and has a total area of ​​5,000 square kilometers.

While the population of Sunagakure is the smallest among the five great villages according to the official data, it is still half that of Konoha. If it were only 30 or 40 square kilometers, it would be the size of a small mountain village, only enough to house a few thousand people, and it would be impossible for it to produce so many ninjas.
