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

Chapter 99 Arrangement

We have made a general plan, but we cannot act rashly.

Even if the process goes smoothly, leaving Konoha this time will not be short.

Therefore, we must arrange things properly in Konoha.

Moreover, he has been studying the tailed beast sealing technique for the past few days, staying up all night for several nights in a row, and his mental state is extremely poor.

Rushing back to Sunagakure like this might lead to an accident.

Therefore, we cannot rush it.

While Konoha was preoccupied with the war, the school teachers were also dedicated to training their ninja trainees, hoping to quickly transform them into full-fledged ninjas. The Sunagakure teachers had also learned a great deal in a short period and had begun their formal internships, teaching certain subjects.

Needless to say, the medical ninjas have already been officially paid salaries by Konoha.

The Sand Village delegation's academic journey is on track, so there's no need to worry. Just tell Karura and Yashamaru to keep an eye on things when they leave.

Both of them were kind-hearted and gentle people, and they made many true friends even in other people's villages.

If you encounter difficulties, you can ask your friends in Konoha for help.

This is something I have to mention.

The Senju clan, who didn't appear in the original anime, actually worked as teachers at the Ninja Academy. However, they seem to have abandoned their surname and focused solely on nurturing the next generation of Konoha (as mentioned in the Itachi Shinden novel).

Karura, who is interning at the Ninja Academy... a large portion of her friends are members of the Senju clan.

Although they do not hold positions of core power in Konoha, the Senju clan's reputation in the village means that minor issues are generally not a problem for them.

However, just in case, Ryuji decided to leave Gin in Konoha.

Her body still hasn't been replaced... Although the Sage cells were cultivated to the point of being sufficient to create a new body two days ago, she hasn't had time to create it yet because she's busy with research on the Tailed Beast seal.

"We can finish making Silver's body before leaving, and we also need to make more scarab puppets," Ryuji pondered for a moment.

There are two purposes to creating more scarab golems.

One reason was to counter the Akatsuki's guerrilla tactics, which relied on their familiarity with the terrain.

Secondly, it was to establish a transit signal station for the spiritual ocean between Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Konoha.

The Sand Village is currently going through a turbulent period, and he must keep a close eye on things between these places at all times, so as not to let something like what happened to the Third Kazekage happen again.

In truth, Ryuji wished he could spread the scarab puppets throughout the entire ninja world, forming a pervasive spiritual network. However, he failed to develop a chakra generation device, thus unable to solve the scarab's self-sufficiency problem.

Manually replenishing the chakra would be too much work, so we can only wait until a chakra generator is developed before implementing this plan.

"Besides Silver, Black must also stay."

Ryuji continued to think about the places that needed to be arranged.

Hei is responsible for finding targets to be replaced by Wood Release ninjas. He has found three suitable candidates, but further investigation is needed to prevent the truth from being exposed later.

Therefore, he cannot leave.

After thinking for a while, and finding nothing else to do, Ryuji went to his personal space to make the scarab puppet.

The data for this thing is backed up in the 3D printer. You just need to set the quantity to be produced and pour in enough material, and it can produce it on its own.

As for Silver's new body...

"Let's forget about it and make it when we get back." Ryuji thought for a moment and decided to give up on his plan to make a new prosthetic body for Gin before leaving.

The main problem is that time is too tight, making it easy to make mistakes.

Furthermore, Ryuji wants to make her body into a normal human body... If we use immortal cells as materials, we can create an immortal body for her.

Although it may be weaker than a prosthetic body at first, its growth potential will definitely exceed that of a prosthetic body that he can currently produce with his technology.

but.

A normal body needs to consider its compatibility with the soul. If the compatibility is too poor, the body will reject the soul.

Silver's soul was created using the chakra consciousness of a female ninja that Ryuji had once encountered. She was just an ordinary ninja, completely unrelated to the Sage of Six Paths' family, and would most likely have rejected the Sage's body.

However, the cells of the immortal are rejected by ordinary people and cannot be fused with the body cells of the original owner of the silver to cultivate a body with excellent compatibility with the silver.

But it's not like there's no way to solve it.

After learning about the rejection relationship between immortal cells and ordinary human cells, Ryuji often thought about how to use them to modify his own body, or even create a new immortal body.

As it turned out, he actually did come up with it.

Those are leukocytes.

Having had its life force drained by the Divine Tree, it was transformed into a White Zetsu that resembled both a living being and a plant. Its body possesses excellent compatibility with the souls of most people.

If you fuse white Zetsu cells with immortal cells to cultivate new immortal cells that can fuse with ordinary cells, then you can use your own cells to fuse with the new immortal cells again to cultivate a body that is 100% compatible with your own soul.

This solution applies to others as well.

And since he's going to Amegakure to fight the Akatsuki, if he makes a move that puts Nagato in mortal danger, Madara will probably send White Zetsu to save him!

At that time, I will take in both the Rinnegan and the White Zetsu cells.

Nagato is not Naruto or Sasuke.

They are the reincarnations of Asura and Indra. Killing them will cause other Asura and Indra to be reincarnated, which will cause things to get out of control.

But Nagato is not.

Having the Rinnegan in hand is more reliable than letting it develop along its original trajectory.

Because ever since he entered the Ninja Academy, he had been thinking about ways to completely eliminate Kaguya, an unstable factor, and one of those methods required the Rinnegan as a foundation.

After making all the plans, Ryuji left his personal space and used his mental ocean to tell Gin and Kuro the arrangements, and also asked them to inform Karura and Yashamaru.

After that, he fell asleep immediately.

……

When I woke up, it was already midnight.

It was quiet outside the window, with only the sounds of cicadas.

Ryuji still felt very sleepy, but he no longer felt the discomfort and headache that came with thinking about things like glue.

After washing up in the kitchen, he immediately felt much refreshed, and his drowsiness vanished.

However, after glancing at the pitch-black outside the window, he fell silent.

A pass is required to enter and exit the ninja village, especially for people from other villages.

The pass can only be processed at the Hokage Building, and some special people can only travel freely with a pass personally approved by the Hokage.

Ryuji is a special person.

But by then, the Hokage Building had already closed.

"This is a case of oversight even with meticulous planning!" Long Er scratched his head.

Important things are always handled flawlessly, but trivial things are always prone to oversights – this is an old problem of mine.

"Huh, what's this?"

Just as Ryuji was considering whether to knock on the Hokage's door in the middle of the night, he suddenly noticed three plates of snacks and a letter on the low table.

He rushed over and opened the envelope.

Inside was a message from Karura and a Konoha travel pass.

"Girls are so thoughtful!" Long Er exclaimed, picked up a few pastries, and went straight out the door.

The Konoha Ninja Academy is mostly staffed by members of the Senju clan, as mentioned in Itachi's True Story, but the fact that the Senju clan abandoned their surname is my own speculation.

Because I checked the information, none of the teachers at the Ninja Academy had the surname Senju, including Itachi Uchiha's teacher. Considering that Tsunade and Nawaki did not have surnames, I made this guess.

Otherwise, the Senju clan can't have only given birth to daughters and no sons since Tsunade's father's generation!

I know that many people only recognize the original manga plot and not the anime originals or game movies.

However, the original author of Itachi Shinden was Kishimoto who conceived the story, while another author wrote the script. In the manga industry, there are also many manga artists who have one person conceive the story and draw the storyboard, while another person is responsible for drawing the artwork.

Therefore, the content and settings of the novel Itachi Shinden are second only to the original manga, and are more relevant to the theatrical version, game plots, and even original plots in anime.
