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

Chapter 217 Chakra Generator

Five chakra spheres, each imbued with a changing attribute, fell to the ground, bursting forth with a light that devoured everything.

The energy surge spread outwards like an overturned bowl, affecting boulders, trees, houses, people, animals, and even the earth itself.

Everything was instantly annihilated into ashes by this energy impact, disappearing into the endless daylight.

Sound was swallowed up, light was blocked, people could neither see nor hear, they could only feel the earth trembling, and all that remained in their hearts was fear and worry.

"Rumble..."

Finally, the sound returned, and the sky echoed with violent explosions and roars. The energy impact spread for hundreds of kilometers before collapsing inward, and finally, amidst a deafening explosion, it turned into flames that shot into the sky, burning the sky a fiery red.

If Ryuji hadn't hidden in his personal space after throwing down the dumpling, he too would have been swallowed by the wave of flames.

……

Time passed slowly, and after about five minutes, Ryuji returned to the real world from his personal space.

Smoke filled the sky above Yunyin, the entire village was buried by the rising dust, and the air still held the residual heat of the explosion.

As the sandstorm dissipated over time, only the cloud-shrouded crater, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, remained in sight.

Upon seeing this, Ryuji fell silent.

The Rasengan is a very interesting ninjutsu.

He uses a ninjutsu technique that combines high-speed rotation and compression to create powerful destructive capabilities.

Theoretically speaking, by controlling the rotation speed and compression level, the final power can vary in magnitude. As long as the user has enough chakra and sufficient control, they can unleash a Rasengan with limitless power.

Just like Naruto and Konohamaru.

Naruto's Rasengan can only create small craters in the ground, while Konohamaru's Rasengan can cause large-scale collapses of the earth and even shatter mountains.

Ryuji compressed the Rasengan, originally the size of a tennis ball, to the size of a table tennis ball. However, the amount of chakra contained in it was hundreds of times that of the original Rasengan, and its power was hundreds of times that of the original Rasengan.

He then added chakra nature transformation to this, which increased its power exponentially. Even from hundreds of meters away, one could feel the terrifying power contained within the dumpling.

Of course, such a powerful Rasengan requires a very high level of chakra and control from the user.

If Ryuji hadn't entered Sage Mode, where his chakra reserves and control would have undergone a qualitative leap, he wouldn't have been able to use it.

Even so, he could only use it little by little, and could not use it instantly like a normal Rasengan.

In other words, this is a ninjutsu that can only be used when the enemy cannot control you.

Furthermore, considering that its power is so astonishing that it could engulf the caster, it is essentially useless in actual combat.

But this is enough.

This powerful ninjutsu wasn't meant for people; it was designed for this situation.

"Let's go to Eagle Gorge now." Ryuji took one last look at the razed Cloud Village before flying away on his mechanical bird.

As for where Eagle Gorge is, just ask any Cloud Village ninja to search their memories.

……

Hidden Cloud Village.

Not long after Ryuji left, a huge rock was overturned, and Raikage struggled to his feet.

His body was also covered in chakra.

But compared to its initial fullness and richness, it has now become very thin, and the electric arcs swirling around it are intermittent.

He was stunned by the desolate landscape.

"Big brother, this is Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village)!?"

The startled voice behind him brought Raikage back to his senses, and he roared angrily at the sky, "Ryuuji Ayaki, I swear I will never forgive you!"

In fact, the losses suffered by Kumogakure were far less than they appeared.

Unlike Konoha, Kumogakure is a village built on a mountainside, with its buildings spread across several peaks, not on a single horizontal line.

Although Ryuji's Five Elements Rasengan had an area large enough to destroy any one of the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure escaped complete destruction due to the layout of its buildings.

Furthermore, their prompt evacuation of civilians and their provision of shelters during the immediate chaos resulted in less damage than anticipated.

Of course, "small" is relative.

Even though the Hidden Cloud Village withdrew from the war for more than half a year, and most of the village's ninjas were on missions outside, there were still about three thousand ninjas in the village.

After Ryuji caused a commotion, with even the Raikage and Jinchuriki personally taking action, there was no reason why any other ninja wouldn't come.

These people don't have the defensive methods of the Raikage and Killer Bee, and they are at the center of the ninjutsu explosion. Unless they are extremely lucky, they are unlikely to escape unscathed.

In other words, Ryuji's attack wiped out one-third of the Hidden Cloud Village's military force, increasing their chances of winning the future war.

……

The journey to find the Chakra Cannon in Eagle Gorge went smoothly.

Before Ryuji arrived, Gin and the others had already wiped out all the guards there and successfully seized the chakra cannon.

"Then let's go back now!"

"Um!"

Seeing that no one objected, Ryuji put the chakra cannon and the others into his personal space, and then rode his mechanical bird towards Sunagakure.

The mission was complete, and there was no need to worry about the mission failing due to the exposure of his whereabouts, so Ryuji flew in a straight line, passing over the Land of Fire, and returned to Sunagakure in just one day.

……

During Ryuji's absence, everything in Sunagakure remained as usual.

Some were carrying out tasks, others were engaged in construction, and the whole village was thriving, developing vigorously towards a bright future.

After spending a few days together, Ryuji and Yekura went back to the laboratory.

Last month, he studied the formation principle of dragon veins to understand the relationship between natural energy and all things, and then developed the Sage Mode Chakra Amplification Cloth Armor.

But this was just an unexpected byproduct; the real prize was the chakra production device.

Since natural energy can give birth to such a massive amount of chakra as the dragon vein, can chakra be created by mechanically replicating the birth process?

It was precisely because of this conjecture that Ryuji was so anxious.

If he can truly create a chakra generator, then his puppet army can break away from the Dragon Vein and become an independent entity.

However, Ryuji was simply overthinking it.

……

half a month later.

Inside a huge factory, Sunagakure's high-ranking officials stood behind Ryuji, staring in astonishment at the machines in front of them.

"They actually created chakra out of thin air!"

"So machines can produce chakra too?"

"If that's the case, won't ninjas be rendered obsolete by machines?"

"Lady Ayaki is absolutely terrifying!"

Listening to the crowd's discussion, Long Er felt a row of black lines hanging down the back of his head.

"Please, I need you to confirm the existence of the chakra production machine so that all the projects can proceed!"

Although the current chakra production machine is a house-sized machine that costs a fortune, it can only produce a tiny amount of chakra and has no practical use whatsoever.

But everyone understands that the technology has already been invented, and as long as it continues to be optimized, it will eventually be put into practical use.
