This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 142 Silver's Celestial Body (Please Subscribe)

"...I will choose whatever type my master wants me to become."

At this point, Yin paused, then continued, "But if I had to choose, I would choose the power type, because I'm already used to the original fighting style, and if I were to change it abruptly, it would take a long time to adapt."

"That's true, but the physical body and the prosthetic body are still different," Ryuji said. "The strength of the physical body cannot compare to that of the prosthetic body. Even if it is designed with a structure that gives it superhuman strength, it is still not as good as a prosthetic body with a muscle density a hundred times that of an ordinary person. It also cannot be like a prosthetic body, where you can just activate the ninjutsu mark imprinted in your body to cast ninjutsu. You have to practice and master it."

"If you choose another one, won't you have to start learning from scratch?" Yin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"..."

Long Er opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.

Yeah, it's not like I'm choosing between a physical body and a prosthetic body, so why am I agonizing over this?

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the call with Gin, Ryuji patted his cheeks to clear his mind before continuing his work.

First, physical strength.

While it's impossible to create a prosthetic body like a prosthetic, and adjustments can't be made arbitrarily, adjustments can still be made based on existing data.

At the very least, Gin shouldn't have to start training from being an ordinary person or a rookie genin!

An hour later.

"Phew~"

Looking at the complete immortal human body model built on the observation instrument, Ryuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Next, all that's left is to adjust the appearance features. We can use the original data for that."

"Master, lunch is ready."

Hong walked in carrying a tray (the spatial door hadn't been closed). On it were rice, two dishes, and a soup. The rich aroma of the food spread, immediately causing the already exhausted body to protest, and the stomach rumbled.

"Okay, I'll eat first. You can help me finish the rest of the work."

"Yes, Master."

With a bright smile, Hong Yanyan placed the plate on the other side of the experimental table, then went to the observation instrument to operate it.

Her intelligence is absolutely among the best in the world. Although she has not studied the relevant knowledge, she often visits Ryuji's laboratory and has seen many of his experiments. She still understands some basic knowledge and how to operate the instruments.

She might not be able to make the puppet herself, but she could use a 3D printer for simple, user-friendly operation.

"Master, Orochimaru came to see you before," Kurenai said while retrieving data. "But you were in the lab conducting research, so I sent him away."

"Is he in Konoha Village too?"

Ryuji was surprised.

Tsunade is out of the question, since she's a medical ninja.

The role that can be played by coordinating medical departments in the rear is far greater than that of going directly to the front lines.

But Orochimaru isn't exactly a support character.

Konoha is currently facing a shortage of frontline combat power. What is this expert doing here instead of being on the front lines?

"It's probably because winter has arrived and the situation on the front lines has eased up!" Hong guessed.

If the ground freezes in winter, it will be disadvantageous for Earth Release ninjas to use their skills. Any commander in Iwagakure who isn't an idiot would choose to avoid battle at this time.

Did he say why he came?

"No, I just mean I'll come to visit again tomorrow."

"I see."

Long Er replied casually and then focused on eating.

As for what Orochimaru wanted to see him about, he didn't care; he could just go to Orochimaru whenever he had nothing else to do.

……

After half an hour.

After a good meal, Yin's health was also restored.

Her features were exquisite, and her appearance was beautiful.

She has short, silver-white hair and a tall, slender figure.

Apart from a significant difference in weight, there were no changes in appearance, height, or measurements.

"Master, I don't recommend changing Yin's body now."

Watching Ryuji examine the data of Gin's new body, Kurenai suggested, "Although Gin can reach new heights after being given a new body, her combat power will be difficult to match the level of a prosthetic body in the short term."

There is a huge difference between the human body and a prosthetic body.

Cybernetic bodies do not require physical training because the externally made body will not change due to training; cybernetic bodies also do not need to practice chakra control, as chakra will circulate according to the set artificial meridians; nor do they need to learn ninjutsu, as they can use chakra to activate the ninjutsu seals in their bodies to perform the corresponding ninjutsu.

However, learning it is useless, and practicing it won't make you stronger.

The power output is determined by the power setting during manufacturing.

To continue improving, the prosthetic body must be upgraded.

But the human body cannot.

Humans are very vulnerable when they are first born, and they need to grow and train to become stronger.

As for chakra control... while there are geniuses who are born with exceptional control, most need to train step by step to become stronger. And ninjutsu, in particular, can only be mastered through gradual learning and practice.

Even if Ryuji could adjust the strength of the body during its creation, he could not make the physical strength comparable to that of a prosthetic body, nor could he make anyone naturally master ninjutsu.

If Silver were to change his body, although he could reach even greater heights in the future, his combat power would be greatly reduced for now.

"There's no need to worry about that." Ryuji smiled and said, "Although I can't make someone born with ninjutsu, ninjutsu knowledge can be directly implanted into their memory in a data-driven way, saving them the trouble of learning. As for practice... she has used ninjutsu for so long, even if it's just by activating ninjutsu seals, her understanding of ninjutsu has reached a certain level, so she will learn it very quickly."

Furthermore, Silver's prosthetic body won't be thrown away after it's replaced; if needed, it can simply be switched back on temporarily.

"...I forgot about that."

Hong slapped her forehead speechlessly.

"Everyone has moments when their thinking goes blank. I'll call Yin over and let her try out this body."

……

Consciousness gradually became clear.

Yin Youran opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was that handsome, familiar face.

"Owner"

Yin subconsciously tried to stand up, but the difference in her body made her limp and lie back down.

"No rush, let's get used to the differences in our bodies first."

"Um!"

Yin nodded, then carefully felt the changes in her body.

First is weight.

She felt incredibly light, as if she could take flight with a single leap. However, the feeling of weakness she experienced told her it was just an illusion.

Along with the weight loss, his once unparalleled strength also disappeared.

"Both my weight and strength have decreased significantly."

Yin murmured as she described the changes in her body.

"Of course," Ryuji laughed. "How can a human body possibly compare to a cybernetic body in terms of strength and weight?"

Even with superhuman strength, it is still far inferior to a prosthetic body with muscle density a hundred times greater than that of an ordinary person.

Tsunade's superhuman strength is greater than Gin's prosthetic body, not because her physical attributes are superior, but because she is far superior to Gin in the precise manipulation of chakra, which is why she has a slight edge in superhuman strength.

"I feel really bad right now." After adjusting for a while, Yin frowned and said, "Just sitting up makes me feel dizzy, and I can't even keep my balance."

"Tsk, adapting to the new body is harder than I imagined."

Ryuji had changed bodies before, but he had never encountered this problem.

Because his own physical strength was too poor, every body he was given was stronger than his original one.

However, through the exoskeleton armor, he became familiar with strength far exceeding his own, so even with a stronger body, he wouldn't experience any accidents or loss of control over his power.

So much so that they overlooked the difference between silver and themselves.

"I will try my best," Silver said.

"Thanks a lot."

"Please don't do this, Master. Helping you is the purpose of my existence."

Hearing this, Ryuji felt comforted.

But at the same time, there was a sense of helplessness.

His prosthetic technology has reached this level. Even if he were to upgrade the prosthetic, he could only change its function at most, and it would not be able to make much progress in terms of power.

To improve Silver's strength, the only way is to use a human body with greater potential and have her work hard to achieve it.

"I'll make you two mechanical puppets to help you adapt to your body."

"Thank you, Master."
