Loran used this array of biocomputers to analyze, process, and categorize the collected ninjutsu techniques.
As is well known, in the scientific field, modeling and solving a problem often involves the following process:
"Problem analysis – simplification and assumptions – model building – model solving – verification and optimization"
Finally, the results are analyzed and applied.
In other words, sufficient computing power can only solve the "model solving" step, and at the same time, it can reduce the requirements for the first three steps. This is because powerful computing power can make the model less simplified and less efficient and accurate, and solve the problem by relying on brute force.
However, the first three steps are indispensable. Just like a powerful AI requires both a sufficiently excellent algorithm and powerful computing power, powerful computing power can reduce the requirements for the algorithm, but you can't do without an algorithm, right?
Therefore, although Loran had a lot of computing resources—a computing array consisting of computers and human brains, and a database—a large amount of ninjutsu and experimental data, he was relatively backward in terms of algorithm models.
However, Loran was not a genius scientist, and the model he built was not particularly outstanding.
But it's okay, Loran said: I have the Rinnegan.
Computers don't think, but humans do. The human brain has its own set of analytical algorithms. Since I can't create a ninjutsu analysis model out of thin air, I might as well let the human brain think for itself.
Loran manipulated the human brain with the power of the Asura Path and connected it to a computer array.
The human brain excels at handling complex problems, possesses adaptive learning capabilities and powerful creativity, and its fault tolerance and robustness are also top-notch.
However, the accuracy and stability of human brain calculations are far inferior to those of computers, and its speed is limited and constrained by energy supply, making it unable to work at high intensity for extended periods.
But that's okay, Loran said. Since the human brain isn't good at these things, why not just leave most of the simple and repetitive calculations to silicon-based computers?
Silicon-based computers excel at things that the human brain struggles with. The human brain can handle critical, complex, and abstract problems that silicon-based computers struggle with, while silicon-based computers can handle the vast majority of high-precision mathematical operations.
By combining their strengths, Loran obtained a biological-mechanical joint computing array that could think autonomously and possessed powerful computing capabilities.
By inserting the Yin-Yang Release black rod and using illusionary techniques to hypnotize the brain, the computing array can be made to think and calculate in the direction Loran desires.
The creation of this computing array was filled with a lot of "I think" elements. Under the influence of the omnipotent Rinnegan, although Loran didn't know why some parts of it worked, just tell me if it's usable or not.
Can you explain chakra so clearly?
If you bring Tobirama Senju over, can he explain the working principles and specific details of every step of the forbidden technique he created?
He probably couldn't do it either!
In any case, Loran's view on chakra is that this extraordinary energy contains a large "contemplation" component, since spiritual energy is involved in its formation process. If you can't use chakra properly, it must be because you haven't contemplated enough.
To master chakra, one must combine science and metaphysics, requiring rigorous experimental research and also engaging in profound contemplation.
We shouldn't follow the example of Huang Laohan, who ignored the huge mass of subspace and insisted on propagating the so-called imperial truth, only to get a huge smear in the face by the four peddlers.
We should learn from the ancient sages, combining spiritual energy and physical technology in one approach. We should learn and use whatever is available; this is the true attitude of seeking the truth through science.
Chapter 28 Naruto: Obito's Fury
Konoha was enraged and the entire ninja world was searching for the culprit.
However, both Obito and Loran were ruthless. Any ninja who had seen them were killed. Loran was even more ruthless, destroying their brains as well, so as not to give them any chance to spy on their information.
On the contrary, Obito's marks weren't completely cleaned up because of his own "wise second" nature and the beating he received from the Fourth Hokage.
For example, the medical staff in Kushina's delivery room, and the body of the Third Hokage's wife Biwako are still there. Konoha can completely glean the whole story of the events of that day through the brains of these corpses.
To take it even further, aren't the bodies of the Fourth Hokage and his wife still there?
If Konoha were ruthless enough, they could easily obtain a lot of information by disposing of the bodies of the Fourth Hokage and his wife. After all, this wasn't the first time Konoha had desecrated a Hokage's remains.
Even the First Hokage, who made immense contributions, couldn't escape having his body used for experiments after his death, let alone Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage who only served for a year.
The former might have experienced veterans like Black Zetsu helping the young Obito deal with him, but the latter was beyond even Black Zetsu's capabilities.
Although I don't know why the Third Hokage didn't do that in the original work.
It's possible that the Fourth Hokage told him some top-secret information before his death, making him feel there was no need to disturb the deceased's rest. It's also possible that the Third Hokage was getting old and began to cherish his reputation.
Anyway, he didn't do that, allowing Obito, this huge threat who was suspected to be "Uchiha Madara," to roam freely in the ninja world for more than ten years.
Perhaps the losses were too severe this time. Loran's raid on Konoha's base really gave them a hard time, and Loran's actions were all attributed to Obito.
This incident has enraged many ninja clans, who have suffered enormous losses. Many of their clansmen have died, and their secret techniques are at great risk of being stolen.
The Hyuga clan was furious. Several pairs of Byakugan had been stolen from the main branch of the clan, and the entire secret archive had been looted. These were no ordinary bandits; a heavy blow was necessary.
Hyuga's anger was secondary; the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, as key supporters of the Third Hokage, also demanded severe punishment for the culprit. This forced the Third Hokage to speak out, as the Hokage's core support base couldn't be shaken! Any deviation would lead to serious problems.
The Uchiha clan faced an even more awkward situation than in the original story. First of all, the three tomoe clearly visible in Kurama's large eyes could be clearly seen by the ninjas on the front lines.
Secondly, many ninja clans in Konoha were plundered, so why is it that only the Uchiha clan was unharmed? Tell me, was it your Uchiha clan that did it? Did you collude with external enemies, release the Nine-Tails, and intend to weaken other forces in Konoha?
Actually, this was a complete misunderstanding. The reason why Loran didn't reveal the Uchiha clan's gold coins was because of time constraints, plus there was an even bigger Uchiha treasury next to him—Obito Uchiha, who inherited everything from Madara Uchiha. Therefore, Loran put the Uchiha clan's importance in the order of importance later.
The only ones killed by Loran during this Nine-Tails Night were Uchiha Setsuna, the elder of the Uchiha clan who hid in his clan's territory and refused to do anything for Konoha, and his three important confidants.
Because the other party was both proud of his status and unwilling to seek refuge, and stubbornly unwilling to go to the front line to fight against the Nine-Tails, he was all alone with a few confidants, hiding in the clan's territory drinking and pretending to be a great general.
Seeing how he created such a good opportunity for Loran to kill him, Loran couldn't hold back any longer. Before leaving, he killed the man and his three confidants, dug out his Sharingan, and obtained the Uchiha secrets in his mind through the Human Path.
As the eldest elder of the Uchiha clan and a hawkish leader who could rival the clan head, Uchiha Setsuna possessed a complete collection of Uchiha secrets, which pleased Loran greatly. Therefore, Loran did not take action against the other Uchiha.
The Uchiha clan also wanted to say, "We did suffer losses. Four of our clan members were killed, including our eldest elder."
Moreover, our Uchiha clan bravely went to the front lines to fight the enemy, and several clan members even died in battle.
Then the other ninja clans would say, "Is this what you call a loss? Which clan didn't step forward at this time? What's there for the Uchiha to brag about? Who knows if you were genuinely fighting the Nine-Tails or if you had ulterior motives?"
And the death of Uchiha Setsuna is considered a loss? Which of us great clans doesn't know that Uchiha Setsuna, that stubborn old man, has always held onto power, making it difficult for the clan head to save face?
Didn't the death of Uchiha Setsuna allow your clan leader Fugaku to consolidate power? It's only natural to stabilize the internal situation before dealing with external threats.
Tell me! Did you, Fugaku Uchiha, take the opportunity to kill Setsuna Uchiha in order to consolidate power and do something big?
Furthermore, when Kakashi Hatake was killed and his brain was shattered, the people recovering the body did not find any Sharingan tissue residue at the scene.
Haven't you Uchiha people always been unhappy about Kakashi Hatake, an outsider, taking over your clan's bloodline limit? The Fourth Hokage, who was protecting Kakashi, being held back by the Nine-Tails, is the perfect opportunity for you to make your move.
The Third Hokage also had his own thoughts. His old comrades Danzo and the entire Root group had also perished, and their bodies were found on a forest path that led directly to the Uchiha clan.
Who doesn't know that Danzo was most hostile to the Uchiha clan? Who would benefit the most from Danzo's death? It would also be an opportunity to weaken the power of the Third Hokage.
Before his death, the Fourth Hokage said that the mastermind behind everything was Madara Uchiha. Recalling this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but have many thoughts.
Could it be that the Uchiha clan has made contact with Madara Uchiha, who was hiding in the shadows, and is starting to get arrogant? It just so happens that the Uchiha clan is the biggest beneficiary of this Nine-Tails attack.
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, loyalty will cease to exist.
On the surface, the Third Hokage still sternly refuted those who questioned the Uchiha clan, not because he trusted the Uchiha clan so much, but because Konoha had indeed suffered a devastating blow this time.
Despite internal and external troubles, the Uchiha clan remains powerful. We must not push them into rebellion now, as Konoha cannot afford a civil war.
We can settle scores later, after this crisis is over. Right now, Konoha needs everyone to unite.
Do not say anything that could affect unity. We Konoha ninjas must follow the Will of Fire.
Therefore, amidst public outrage, the Third Hokage decided to postpone the burial of the Fourth Hokage and his wife's bodies, and instead personally extracted their memories.
After all, how many Konoha secrets are buried in the Hokage's memories? Which Konoha ninja would dare to look? Would Yamanaka Inoichi dare to look? You probably haven't seen the ANBU's mastermind before, and you want to be loyal.
And so, thanks to Loran's machinations, Obito was officially exposed to the ninja world's scrutiny. After Konoha united to defeat the Cloud Ninja, they mobilized all their resources to hunt down Obito.
Unfortunately, Obito was indeed good at hiding, and with Kamui, a technique unparalleled in the ninja world, Konoha couldn't catch him no matter how hard they tried.
In the end, Konoha couldn't find the person even after a thorough search, so they had to temporarily give up.
After all, it's not wartime now, and there's no military funding from the Daimyo. Konoha has to rely on these ninjas to make a living by doing missions.
Large-scale searches have certainly stopped, but small-scale manhunts will not cease.
At the same time, Konoha issued the highest bounty ever offered by the village on the black market, totaling 400 million ryo.
The Hyuga clan secretly increased their bets, and other ninja clans that suffered greatly during the Nine-Tails' attack, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, also followed suit. Seeing everyone else increasing their bets, the Uchiha clan realized they would be ostracized if they didn't. Therefore, to prove their innocence, the wealthy Uchiha clan went for an extra-large bet.
To join in the fun, Loran secretly added his own touch.
As a result of the efforts of many parties, Obito's bounty rose to an unprecedented 850 million ryo, equivalent to 24 Asumas at their peak.
In an instant, Obito became a top figure in the ninja world, and countless bounty hunters were green with envy as they looked at the long string of numbers on that wanted poster.
Although I know that someone who is so hated by Konoha must have some skills, money can be a powerful lure.
The ninja world is so vast, there are always those who value money over their lives.
Obito, hiding in a secret base in the Land of Grass, had a livid face.
"Obito, we must stabilize Nagato," Black Zetsu earnestly advised Obito.
Obito slammed his fist on the table: "Keep him calm? Does he deserve some credit for my current predicament of being wanted throughout the ninja world?"
"The White Zetsu lurking in the village also saw it. Those people who were looting around Konoha all had the Rinnegan. They must be puppets he created. Nagato Uzumaki should give me an explanation!"
Black Zetsu uttered a sentence that silenced Obito: "But you didn't inform him beforehand about something as important as the Nine-Tails, did you?"
“I’ve said it before, don’t try to be clever in this kind of thing. It’s pointless except to cause dissatisfaction among others and leak your own information.”
"You should know very well that we have no way to imprison the Nine-Tails inside the Gedo Mazo right now, so what's the point of you doing this?"
Obito was incredibly frustrated. He knew Black Zetsu was right. But he just couldn't contain the anger burning inside him. Why?
Why is it that Rin died, while Minato Namikaze, that incompetent teacher, can happily have children with his wife and live a blissful life?
Why is it that when Rin died, Kakashi Hatake could stay peacefully in Konoha, enjoy the Hokage's trust, and be able to protect the Jinchuriki?
He couldn't tolerate it, so he used the pretext of weakening Konoha to carry out his personal revenge.
Black Zetsu knew that Obito was just taking his anger out on him, but how many "whys" are there in this world? It's simply a matter of the powerlessness of the parties involved.
A person filled with anger and resentment will not listen to advice; only the cold waters of reality can cool them down.
It took Obito quite a while to calm down.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu continued, earnestly advising, "The Rinnegan is the key to the Eye of the Moon Plan. Unless you are determined to take the Rinnegan back from Nagato and use it yourself, we cannot do without it."
“Nagato is not simple. You can tell from the fact that he used you as a cover to cause a ruckus in Konoha. He even has a way to monitor your actions.”
"Put away your arrogance, Obito. You don't yet have Madara's power to look down on everyone. You need to face Nagato squarely. He is no longer a pawn that you can control."
Black Zetsu's words were like a wake-up call, jolting Obito awake.
Yes, he was still looking down on Nagato with the condescending attitude of a behind-the-scenes manipulator, unaware that Nagato had jumped out of the game board and slapped this self-righteous player in the face.
"You're right, I need to see him. At least we need to get the Akatsuki back on track, otherwise the Eye of the Moon Plan will be indefinitely delayed." Faced with the cold and cruel reality, Obito rarely nodded and admitted his mistake.
Black Zetsu nodded to himself. Obito still had room for improvement and wasn't a complete idiot.
All of Obito's previous actions showed that he was too young. He was even younger than Nagato and was still a teenager going through puberty. Black Zetsu, having seen countless people, naturally knew how to control the mindset of such a person.
After discussing things with Black Zetsu, Obito opened the Kamui dimension and prepared to go to the Land of Rain to talk to Loran.
Little did he know, Loran had prepared a great gift for him at that moment.
Chapter 29 Naruto: Inviting the Enemy into the Trap
When Obito arrived in Amegakure to make his routine trip to Nagato's office to look for him, he was told that Nagato was not there.
"Lord Obito, you have important matters to attend to, please wait a moment," a tall, scarred male ninja said respectfully to Obito.
Obito knew him; the other was one of the few remaining Akatsuki ninjas named Benzai Ten Daizo, who was now Loran's confidant.
"Where did he go? I'll go find him myself." Obito asked casually, not taking it seriously.
"Your actions are always secretive, and I do not know your whereabouts. Please wait a moment, Lord Afei. I believe you will arrive soon." Daizo replied to Obito's inquiry with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
Obito was taken aback upon hearing this.
He gave Daizo a deep look with his single eye, which shone with an ominous light, but the other seemed completely oblivious, still wearing that formulaic smile.
Although Obito was somewhat dissatisfied, he was helpless. He had no way to directly contact Lorraine, who remained highly wary of him. Moreover, White Zetsu couldn't get close to Lorraine either; Lorraine seemed to possess a unique sensory ability different from chakra perception, allowing him to detect the extremely stealthy movements of White Zetsu.
But Obito knew that almost the entire Amegakure was within Loran's perception range. Since he hadn't concealed his chakra, Loran must know he had arrived and would be coming to see him soon.
Therefore, Obito, led by Daizo, entered the reception room opposite Loran's office and sat on a sofa with strange patterns, waiting for Loran's arrival.
But as time passed, Loran was nowhere to be seen.
Obito couldn't help but feel uneasy. He tried to ask Daizo, but each time he received the answer, "The master will probably be here soon."
Logically, Obito should have sensed something was wrong long ago and then activated White Zetsu to search for Lorraine's whereabouts.
But today, both Obito and Black Zetsu reacted unusually slowly. They felt they should take some action, but they didn't know exactly what to do.
