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

Chapter 65 Trivial Matters Taken Care Of

Silver is different from Black and Red. Her body looks like a real person, but it is actually just a prosthetic body... Whether it is muscle fibers, skeleton or the most basic cell tissue, it is made of artificial materials.

Although she appears slender and tall, only about 1.8 meters, her muscle density is actually a hundred times that of a normal human, and she weighs nearly 400 kilograms. Her strength would require the combined strength of three adult elephants to match.

This physical sign... if it were a normal human being, they probably wouldn't even be able to stretch out their arms.

Ryuji is currently unable to use the Sage Cells to transform his own body, nor can he create an effective backup body, but he can still create such a prosthetic body.

Furthermore, prosthetic bodies made from cactus cells will have more powerful bodily functions and greatly increased strength.

but.

To create such a prosthetic body, a lot of immortal cells are needed. Ryuji needs to cultivate them first in order to create the prosthetic body.

"Hopefully we can get it done before we go to Konoha!"

Ryuji's trip to Konoha wasn't just about studying; he also wanted to plant his own people there. If he were exposed, Ryuji would have to fight his way out.

As for Konoha refusing Sunagakure's conditions, Ryuji never even considered it.

And things turned out exactly as he had expected.

……

Two days passed quickly.

Just as Ryuji finished preparing the Sage Cell Culture Chamber and was about to begin cultivation, the Third Kazekage sent a message through his spiritual ocean: Konoha had agreed to all of Sunagakure's conditions, but with one additional condition: the return of Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki.

Ryuji readily agreed to this.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sunagakure and Konoha will have a long honeymoon period, so it's not a bad thing to improve their relationship beforehand.

As for Konoha's superficial agreement, but in reality, when teaching knowledge and experience, they either teach haphazardly or perfunctorily... Heh, nobody's a fool.

The medical and educational personnel in Sunagakure are not as good as those in Konoha, but they have a foundation, so it's still possible to tell whether it's good or bad.

If Konoha isn't worried about Sunagakure backing out halfway, then go ahead and do it.

However, although the negotiations have ended.

Sunagakure also released Choza and Shiki, but the delegation needs some time to carefully select its members.

Since they are going there to study, we should definitely send professional and intelligent people.

While the Third Kazekage was selecting his successor, Ryuji rode his mechanical bird to Loulan.

Before heading to Konoha, he had to settle things with Loulan. Only then could the Sunagakure team continue its development after his departure.

Of course, before leaving, Ryuji didn't forget to have Hongzhao check on the cultivation of the cactus cells.

He still wanted to try upgrading Gin's body before going to Konoha.

……

The mechanical bird is very fast; it sets off in the morning and arrives at noon.

From a great distance, you could see the Sand Village ninjas digging the foundation... More than two hundred ninjas were using Earth Release techniques to excavate, creating billowing smoke and dust, a truly spectacular scene.

The city on the blueprints covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers, and in order to prevent the need for future expansion, spare space must be reserved.

Therefore, an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers needs to be excavated.

To support a city with steel structures covering more than 3,000 square kilometers, the thickness must be at least 1,000 meters.

But with the Ring of Ugo there, only 500 meters is needed.

However, considering that the dragon vein is located deep underground, in order to prevent the dragon vein from being affected during the excavation process, it is necessary to dig deeper, at least about 800 meters.

This is a huge undertaking even for ninjas; it's simply impossible to complete it in just five days.

When Long Er entered Loulan and found Ebizo to learn about the situation, he said, "Based on the current progress, it will take at least two months to complete."

The ninjas of Sunagakure are more skilled in Wind Release. Although there are some who know Earth Release, and there are one or two powerful individuals, they are not the type who use yellow earth.

It's simply impossible to move mountains with a single ninjutsu.

"Two months..."

Long Er pondered for a moment.

The Ring of Ugo cannot be used before the foundation is dug out.

otherwise.

The earth is frozen solid, making it difficult to dig even with ninja techniques, and even if it is dug, it will instantly revert to its original state.

However, this mission to Konoha will take at least six months.

Although as a high-ranking member of the Sand Village, he might not stay in Konoha forever, he was also unsure if he would return in two months.

If we cannot return on time to install the Ring of Ugo on the foundation, the subsequent construction cannot proceed.

But he was not comfortable entrusting the Ring of Ugo to someone else.

"This is the only way."

As Long Er muttered to himself, he came up with a solution.

On the way to Konoha, leave behind the scarab puppet as a signal relay station, and then switch bodies with the puppet in Loulan through the spiritual ocean to operate it.

I just don't know if there will be enough scarab puppets. It's quite a distance from Konoha to Sunagakure; it takes three days for a ninja to get there.

The maximum distance connecting Long Er's spiritual ocean is about 300 kilometers, which would have taken a car more than two hours to travel in the previous life.

There's also the issue of risk.

To do this, the Ring of Ugo must be left to the puppets of Loulan... but the puppets left in Loulan are not particularly strong, and there is no time to make new puppets now.

If someone tries to steal it, even if you can switch bodies, you won't be able to operate it.

However, this question is purely unfounded worry.

No one knew about the existence of the Ring of Ugo, so naturally no one would try to steal it.

After figuring things out, Long Er gave Ebizo a few instructions and then went to the dragon vein.

He first broke the original seal on the dragon vein, and then replaced it with a seal he developed himself... After two days of analysis and deduction by the observation instrument, he has successfully developed a new seal.

Both rely on personal bloodlines and ley lines to establish connections for manipulation, but the contact person can be freely changed through techniques without any blood relation.

It is worth mentioning that Sarah felt uneasy for a long time after sensing that her connection with the dragon vein had disappeared.

She worried that once she lost her only usefulness, the other party would discard her like a used tool.

Fortunately, the people of Sunagakure did not change their attitude after they got to know each other, which made Sara truly believe that Ryuji wanted to accept them, rather than use her, and she began to truly integrate into Sunagakure.

After breaking the seal, you'll reach the Gate of Life and Death.

Before leaving Loulan, Long Er had already prepared the interface on the wall where the Gate of Life and Death would be installed. Now all that was needed was to assemble the prepared parts one by one.

Give it to the workers to make the puppet; it can be done in three days.

……

Three days later, looking at the freely rotating, opening and closing metal round door, Ryuji nodded in satisfaction.

Although there are still vulnerabilities that can be exploited by breaching the wall, these vulnerabilities will disappear once the Ring of Ugo is integrated into the foundation.

Afterwards, Ryuji explained some precautions to Ebizo and then rode the mechanical bird back to Sunagakure.

The delegation members were selected yesterday, and now they are just waiting for me to be the leader.

Now that things have been settled in Loulan, the next chapter will be about Konoha.
