The creation of chakra batteries was extremely significant, marking the emergence of a new energy source in the shinobi world's production and daily life.
Looking at the entire Naruto series, it is clear that the technology inside is largely skewed.
This is likely because being a shinobi and taking missions is more profitable, so shinobi rarely apply their skills to production and daily life. Most inventions by shinobi are also aimed at making killing more convenient and efficient.
Thus, the creation of chakra batteries can also represent shinobi becoming a part of future production and daily life.
"Has that thing been completed yet?" Uzumaki Jun looked at the elder, whom he had kept by his side, and asked. "For Uzushiogakure to grow stronger and survive in war, formidable military power is indispensable."
Without the military capability to deter the Five Great Shinobi Villages, all of Uzushiogakure's efforts would be in vain.
"Yes," the elder nodded helplessly. "It has been made, but it is bulky, has weak firepower, and consumes too much energy."
"It is not very useful in war."
Hearing the elder's words, Uzumaki Jun became curious. He hadn't expected it to be completed in just a few days, but the results didn't seem great.
This was probably inevitable. After all, shinobi's mobility is extremely high. Something like a chakra cannon is too obvious for shinobi, making it easy for them to dodge. After all...
Wouldn't you notice a giant cannon barrel pointing at you?
This was likely why, in Boruto, chakra cannons could only be used to shoot at the moon and couldn't help them fight against the Otsutsuki trio.
It wasn't until the emergence of scientific ninja tools that science gradually began to be applied in warfare.
"Continue," Uzumaki Jun said helplessly. "Take it step by step, making smaller, lighter, and more powerful scientific ninja tools."
Although this was currently a time of peace, this period was only...
"Sigh..."
To protect Uzushiogakure, they needed strong military power. Right now, they could rely on him to intimidate the shinobi world. But if he were held back or absent from Uzushiogakure, things would turn dire. Moreover...
The shinobi world would not allow another "God of Shinobi" to emerge.
Therefore, no matter what, Uzushiogakure would be dragged into the Second Shinobi World War.
However, it was impossible to rapidly increase the number of shinobi in a short time. Even if they could, they would only be cannon fodder. As for science...
This was something that defied logic. The emergence of a single invention could make a difference for everyone.
"Yes, we are currently researching this," the elder nodded. He understood the situation Uzushiogakure was facing. Their strongest fighter was only Uzumaki Jun. If he were held back...
"Military conscription must also be implemented," Uzumaki Jun said. "Have those aged 18 to 40 undergo military training one day per week."
Perhaps turning these people into shinobi would only waste resources. But if Uzushiogakure truly faced war, they wouldn't be completely clueless and might even play an unexpected role. Teaching them basic combat skills and chakra extraction and usage would be enough. The rest would depend on themselves.
"It seems we still lack taijutsu specialists and kenjutsu specialists."
These two types were the most suitable for civilians, but...
Aside from him, the cheater, Uzushiogakure probably had no one else.
"This is such a headache."
They also needed to build ships.
How could they become a maritime power without ships? That would be a joke.
Just as Uzumaki Jun was about to ask the system what kind of ships would suit the current shinobi world...
"By the way, another project has succeeded," the elder took out a scroll and said. "The engraving of the Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique has also been completed."
"We can now control the levitation ability of the Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique by adjusting the amount of chakra."
"Oh!" Uzumaki Jun's eyes lit up. He took the scroll and asked, "Can it be used on any object?"
If so, he suddenly had an idea...
"Yes, it can," the elder nodded. "Basically, as long as the technique's seal is engraved, it will work."
"If that's the case..." Uzumaki Jun smiled faintly and muttered, "Perhaps a land-sea-air triphibious warship could..."
...
Danzo leaned back in his chair, quietly reading a book. He wasn't worried about whether Konoha would come to redeem him. After all, he was the Darkness of the Shinobi. Why had Hiruzen agreed to let him establish Root back then?
Wasn't it because there were things he could do, but...
The Hokage could not?
"How foolish," Danzo murmured as he looked at the book in his hands. "Revealing to your superior that you want to kill him and take his position, hah!"
If he had dared to do that, Hiruzen would have dismissed him the next day for stepping into the Hokage Building with his right foot. Then...
He would have been reinstated a few days later.
After all, his role was indispensable.
"This book is useful to me?" Danzo sneered and closed the book. "How ridiculous."
Looking at the Root shinobi standing silently beside him, he sighed helplessly. The Darkness of the Shinobi had never suffered such humiliation before.
That damned brat...
The God of Shinobi?
What a joke!
He wondered when Hiruzen would come to retrieve him. He...
Suddenly missed Konoha.
...
For Uzushiogakure to forge its own path, it couldn't blindly copy everything from Earth. After all, the shinobi world had its own advantages. The correct approach was to integrate the two, taking the essence and discarding the dregs. So...
Why make airplanes?
They should make airships instead!
Spacious and comfortable. If they installed a few chakra cannons on them, wouldn't that make them mobile fortresses?
Just like the Sky Ninja Village's Ukoku Fortress.
Right now, the Sky Ninja Village hadn't been destroyed yet, so Uzushiogakure couldn't obtain their ancestral technology. But...
During the Second Shinobi World War, this village would be annihilated by Konoha.
They could just send people to scavenge then. Of course, it would be even better if they could bring back some scientists. They could also criticize Konoha's cruel and unethical actions...
Uzumaki Jun pondered as he walked toward Uzushiogakure's affiliated elementary school. Today was the official opening day, as it was time for those kids to start school. However...
According to the elder, very few children had enrolled in the science program. Everyone wanted to become true powerhouses, not scholars!
This was truly a headache.
Of course, this was also because the most famous figures in the shinobi world were all shinobi. Moreover, Uzushiogakure still lacked a systematic body of scientific knowledge tailored to it. The technology in the Naruto world...
Was skewed!
So, he exchanged some elementary to high school-level physics and chemistry knowledge from the system, hoping the elders could learn it and compile a set of knowledge suitable for the shinobi world.
"How many people have enrolled today?" Uzumaki Jun asked the clan head curiously.
Currently, the clan head was not only the Minister of Foreign Affairs but also the vice-principal of the academy. Of course...
The principal was him, Uzumaki Jun. But since he was too busy, the academy's affairs were mostly handled by the clan head.
"Nearly 300 children have enrolled," the clan head said helplessly. "But almost none chose the science program."
"Some children don't even have the talent to become shinobi, yet they still refuse to give up."
"..."
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly. It seemed they had to establish scientific honors and awards early, elevating scientists' prestige to the same level as shinobi. Otherwise...
This major would remain unpopular.
Hiruko...
"When will you arrive?"
He sighed helplessly in his heart.
