The Uchiha Clan's Sun

Orochimaru's concern was not unfounded, as life and death in ninja battles often hang in the balance in an instant!

As Uchiha Jin had said before, he designed these firearms so that ordinary people could use them to fight ninjas!

Once the bullets are used up, the only thing left for ordinary people is to be slaughtered!

Uchiha Jin thought for a moment and said, "The two flaws you mentioned do exist, but they are not insurmountable!"

Orochimaru became interested upon hearing this and asked curiously, "How can this be remedied?"

Uchiha Jin smiled and said, "The flaws you mentioned earlier were all in a one-on-one situation. But if it's a multi-on-multi situation, these flaws will naturally disappear!"

"It's like a three-on-three situation: one person attacks, one person holds the gun, and one person provides support. With three people and three firing positions, it becomes much more difficult to dodge. When one person runs out of bullets, the other two maintain suppressive fire while waiting for him to reload!"

"In this way, both of the shortcomings you just mentioned can be remedied! And the larger the scale of the battle, the smaller these two shortcomings will be!"

Uchiha Jin was talking about his past life's use of various firearms. Orochimaru had only just come into contact with firearms, so it's normal that he didn't think of this.

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru said, "If we fight in small teams, the enemy ninjas' strength will increase, and they might even overwhelm those using these firearms!"

"Only when the scale reaches a certain point can the side using firearms suppress the ninja side!"

"But the largest war in the history of the ninja world was only a few thousand against a few thousand. Most of the time, a melee of a few hundred people was considered a major war!"

"So it's still uncertain whether we'll encounter a war where firearms can be used to their fullest potential. It's quite difficult to change the current warfare model in the ninja world with these things!"

The largest war in the history of the ninja world is estimated to be the Fourth Shinobi World War, which took place more than ten years later in the original story, in which 80,000 Allied Shinobi Forces fought against 100,000 White Zetsu.

This sounds like a lot, but in reality it's only about the scale of a few military skirmishes in Uchiha Jin's previous life.

Just like how Li Yunlong mobilized tens of thousands of troops to capture Ping'an County, the wars in this world are indeed too small-scale compared to that.

While it might not be difficult for Uchiha Jin to organize an army of hundreds of thousands using these firearms to sweep across the ninja world, it would be extremely difficult to completely eliminate the enemy's ninja forces!

"It's not that simple, but it's not as difficult as you think either! After all, you can run away, but you can't hide. Even if they can avoid fighting, when they have nowhere to retreat, they will have no choice but to confront us head-on!"

Uchiha Jin already had a rough plan in mind, taking into account Orochimaru's concerns!

After all, while Uchiha Jin wanted to use the power of firearms to pacify the ninja world, he didn't intend to rely solely on the power of firearms!

In terms of mobility, can those ninjas even compare to White Zetsu?

Moreover, the base stats of White Zetsu are not much worse than those of other ninjas!

Uchiha Jin put down his pistol, picked up an arm-length rifle from the ground, fiddled with it for a few moments, and then asked, "How powerful is this gun?"

Orochimaru handed Uchiha Jin a fully loaded magazine and explained, "This gun is much more powerful than a pistol, with several times the range and rate of fire, but it's still only about at the level of an elite Chunin!"

Uchiha Jin gripped the guns with both hands and pulled the triggers towards the wooden stake not far away!

A tongue of fire shot out, and the wooden stake was snapped in half by the metal bullet!

"Cool!"

After firing all the bullets, Uchiha Jin shouted excitedly.

Orochimaru smiled but didn't say anything; he had already experienced the feeling of firing a gun.

Well, the feeling of being able to destroy a target with just a flick of a finger is indeed quite peculiar!

Moreover, the feeling of clearly sensing the vibration when the bullet leaves the barrel is inexplicably exhilarating!

Orochimaru continued, "This rifle has a magazine capacity of thirty rounds, which is much more forgiving than a pistol. If you really want to arm an army, I would recommend using this rifle as the primary weapon!"

“Oh,” Uchiha Jin didn’t give an immediate answer, then looked at another menacing-looking weapon on the ground and said, “What about this? This should be a Gatling gun, right?”

That's right, one of the two remaining weapons on the ground was a Gatling gun with six barrels!

Orochimaru bent down and picked up the Gatling gun from the ground with one hand. While loading the bullets, he introduced it, saying, "This gun is practically perfect in terms of rate of fire, range, power, and magazine capacity!"

"The bullets fired from this gun can penetrate several feet of stone wall, making it comparable to the shuriken and kunai imbued with chakra thrown by Jonin!"

"In terms of ammunition capacity, this Gatling gun also uses belt-fed ammunition. As long as the belt is long enough, there is no such thing as running out of bullets!"

"As for the rate of fire, this Gatling gun can fire thousands of bullets per minute. The bullets leaving the barrel are almost in a straight line, killing wherever they hit!"

"But similarly, this Gatling gun also has a fatal flaw!"

Orochimaru handed the Gatling gun in his hand to Uchiha Jin, indicating that Uchiha Jin should try firing it.

Without a word, Uchiha Jin picked up the Gatling gun and pulled the trigger!

In an instant, flames erupted, and a barrage of metal projectiles flew in a line, sending earth and rocks flying wherever they passed!

But in just a moment, a large pile of metal shell casings had accumulated under Uchiha Jin's feet, and the six metal barrels of the Gatling gun were hot and red-hot!

Uchiha Jin felt a chill run down his spine, realizing the flaw Orochimaru had mentioned. He quickly released the trigger to prevent the machine gun from exploding.

Orochimaru, seeing this, also spoke up: "Jin-kun must have noticed as well. The powerful force and excessive rate of fire are too much for the Gatling gun barrel to handle, and it will deform in no time."

"I have tried all the common metals that exist in the ninja world, and none of them can withstand this kind of pressure!"

"I haven't tried those chakra metals yet, but given the weight of this Gatling gun, I don't have that much money to buy chakra metals, let alone mass-produce them!"

In terms of technological development, this world can never compare to the world where Uchiha Jin lived in his previous life, and the same is true for the smelting of steel and alloys!

Orochimaru used the world's top-grade metals, which were barely enough to make pistols and rifles, but not quite enough to make Gatling guns!

Three days was not enough time for Orochimaru to develop and synthesize stronger metals, which became the fatal flaw of the Gatling gun!

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jin sighed and said, "It seems that we can't give up on the development of metal smelting, otherwise we probably won't be able to manufacture those more powerful weapons!"

After a pause, Uchiha Jin put down the Gatling gun in his hand, looked at the last weapon on the ground, and asked, "What about this rocket launcher? Does it have any defects?"

The last weapon on the ground was shaped like a long tube, and Uchiha Jin immediately recognized it as the divine weapon from his previous life's world: a rocket launcher.

Orochimaru smiled upon hearing this and said, "There are no flaws in this. The power of one shell is roughly equivalent to two explosive tags, and the power can also be improved."

"The only problem is that the shells' firing rate is a bit low; even an ordinary person can see their trajectory!"

"But once the quantity increases, and with the other artillery pieces you've conceived, this flaw will disappear!"

"We can directly bombard an area with firepower, and the enemy ninjas won't be able to hide!"

Uchiha Jin nodded in agreement, saying, "That's good! We should expedite the mass production of this rocket launcher, and at the same time, the development of other artillery shouldn't stop..."

At this point, Uchiha Jin suddenly paused, looked at the other storage scrolls Orochimaru had placed aside, and asked, "Have you even manufactured other types of cannons?"

Orochimaru gave a mysterious smile and said, "No, these are some weapons I created by incorporating some of my own ideas into your design, King. They should give you a pleasant surprise!"

Chapter 304 Please Begin Your Performance! (Two Chapters Combined)

"surprise?"

Although Uchiha Jin knew that Orochimaru couldn't possibly produce anything too groundbreaking in just three days, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

After all, this is a surprise from Orochimaru, who can create Gundams by hand!

"come on!"

Orochimaru clapped his hands and turned to look at a surveillance camera hanging in the training field.

That's right, it's a surveillance camera!

In this world where the technology tree has developed in a severely distorted way, even though most places are still in an agrarian civilization, technologies such as surveillance cameras, live broadcasts, movies, and television have already appeared.

After greeting the surveillance camera, Orochimaru turned to Uchiha Jin and explained, "Jin-kun, I'll introduce you to two talented people later! They're very interested in the ideas you provided, and they played a crucial role in making these weapons so quickly!"

Uchiha Jin nodded slightly and said with a compliment, "A person who can be called a talent by Orochimaru-senpai must be exceptionally capable!"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I have to thank you for this, Jin-kun. If you hadn't given me so many ideas that kept me so busy, I wouldn't have started developing talent, and I wouldn't have discovered their existence."

"Speaking of which, if my technology focuses on biology, then these two are definitely professionals in the field of firearms!"

Orochimaru is indeed the greatest scientist in the ninja world; his talent allows him to be proficient in almost everything. However, Orochimaru's research still has a primary focus!

Orochimaru's techniques are basically all aimed at exploring the mysteries of the human body and achieving immortality.

In comparison, Orochimaru wasn't as enthusiastic about weapon-related technologies!

The mechanical Naruto and mechanical Nine-Tails in the original story were just Orochimaru's creations, which shows just how abnormal Orochimaru's talent in science is!

Just as Uchiha Jin and Orochimaru were chatting, two figures walked into the training ground.

The two figures, one male and one female, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were both quite distinctive.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jin."

As the two approached, they both greeted Uchiha Jin and Orochimaru with great respect.

Orochimaru stepped forward and introduced them: "Jin-kun, this is Akita Inuzuka, and this is Tono Kakusuke! They were both technicians in the ninja tool development team, and were special Jonin."

The tall, thin woman was Akita Inuzuka of the Inuzuka clan, while the short, stout man with square-framed glasses and a simple, honest face was Tono Kazusuke.

"Ninja Tool Development Team? There's such a department in the village?"

Uchiha Jin was somewhat surprised. He had never heard of this department before, and he hadn't even seen these two people attend the previous Jonin meetings in the village!

"Uh......"

Both Tono Hosuke and Inuzuka Akita felt somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Orochimaru shook his head slightly and explained, "The Ninja Tool Development Team did exist. It was founded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. However, after the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Ninja Tool Development Team was no longer valued by the village and gradually declined, disappearing into the sea of ​​people."

"When I went to find them, they were the only two people left in the entire ninja tool development team!"

Orochimaru's words made Akita Inuzuka and Katsuke Tono even more embarrassed.

When people are feeling down, they are very prone to feeling inferior and are not comfortable in situations where they have to show their resume to others.

Orochimaru noticed this as well and said, "You two don't need to overthink it. The decline of the Ninja Tool Development Team isn't your fault; it's because the village's higher-ups lack foresight!"

"It's not your fault that you two can't produce any useful works to convince the higher-ups. The village leaders won't approve any funding, so what are you going to use to develop new things!"

As fellow researchers, Orochimaru understood the situation of Akita Inuzuka and Katsuke Tono very well, so he had no prejudice against them, only deep appreciation!

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Upon hearing this, both Akita Inuzuka and Katsuke Tono straightened their backs and looked at Orochimaru with intense fervor!

It must be said that Orochimaru's personal charisma is unique in some aspects; otherwise, so many children he abducted in the original story wouldn't have been willing to risk their lives for him!

For example, there's Kabuto Yakushi, who betrayed the organization he originally served and fought to become Orochimaru's target, and Kimimaro Kaguya, who willingly became Orochimaru's vessel.

At this moment, Uchiha Jin also remembered who Inuzuka Akita and Tono Katsuke were.

Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, thanks to the extraordinary abilities of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the shinobi world entered a period of peaceful development.

As exchanges between countries deepened, the ninja world also ushered in a period of technological explosion, with various technologies emerging and skyscrapers rising up everywhere!

Tono Kakusuke was the founder and head of the Konoha Special Division, the Scientific Ninja Tool Team. He made indelible contributions to the technological development of Konoha and developed numerous scientific ninja tools.

Akita Inuzuka is Tono Kazusuke's assistant, a scientist, and one of the leaders of the Science Ninja Tool Team.

These two are exactly the talents that Uchiha Jin desperately needs right now!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Jin smiled and said, "Orochimaru-senpai is right. You two don't need to belittle yourselves. It's the fault of this era that your skills and ideas have been buried, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!"

"You must have heard that my Uchiha clan plans to sponsor Orochimaru-senpai in establishing the Konoha Research Institute. If you two don't mind, you might as well come and contribute to my Konoha Research Institute!"

"I can assure you both that no matter what your ideas are at the time, we will provide you with sufficient funds!"

"Sigh~~"

Both Tono Hosuke and Inuzuka Akita gasped upon hearing this, their faces turning bright red.

When have small-time karami like them ever received this kind of attention!

For them, Uchiha Jin's promise was like a windfall, like winning the lottery!

Uchiha Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, technology is something that should be respected no matter where you are.

"Alright," Orochimaru waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about the future later. I have plans for both of them. Now let's see the surprise I prepared for you!"

Uchiha Jin glanced at Orochimaru, worried that he would steal Orochimaru's man!

It seems that Orochimaru now truly values ​​Tono Kasuke and Inuzuka Akita highly.

Orochimaru completely ignored Uchiha Jin's gaze and looked at Tono Kazusuke, saying, "Since it was developed based on your ideas, why don't you introduce your work to Jin-kun yourself!"

"Okay, okay!"

Tono Kazusuke swallowed hard and carefully picked up one from the storage scroll Orochimaru had placed beside him.

After the seal on the storage scroll was broken by hand seals, a strangely shaped... 'gun' appeared in Tonokasa's hands!

The gun's design is somewhat similar to the grenade launcher that Uchiha Jin used in his previous life. The gun body is less than a meter long, but the barrel caliber is unusually large, several centimeters in diameter. It would be no exaggeration to call it a cannon!
