Zero felt a bit surprised when she heard Orochimaru say that word, and directly asked, "Is your research speed that fast? Are you already starting to research psionic energy?"
Orochimaru smiled confidently and said to Zero, "My research speed is decent, but I don't understand psionic energy. And this report is full of the word 'psionic energy.' I need to understand what its specific principles are."
Zero stared at Orochimaru for a while, then couldn't help but sigh, "You truly are a talent. But psionic energy is not something you can get for now. Let's change the condition."
Hearing Zero's words, Orochimaru wasn't overly excited. He had somewhat guessed this situation.
After all, as their main system, it wouldn't be revealed so easily to others.
So Orochimaru didn't give up and said again, "Since psionic knowledge can't be given, then I want the scientific research equipment contained in your knowledge."
Yes, to be honest.
The Mechanical Empire's scientific research equipment and the Naruto world's scientific research equipment were very different. One researched biology, the other researched machinery, like a donkey's head not fitting a horse's mouth.
However, Zero's answer to this point also made Orochimaru feel very satisfied.
"Alright, someone will transport the equipment to the Land of Rice Fields tomorrow afternoon. At the same time, someone will also take over the Land of Rice Fields."
Orochimaru nodded, said nothing, but then asked Zero another question, "What exactly do you need me to do for all this?"
Zero didn't answer Orochimaru, just smiled, avoiding Orochimaru's question.
"You'll know later."
After that, Zero closed the communicator, while Orochimaru on the other side pondered the key points.
And on the other end of the communicator, after Zero closed it, she looked at the vast yellow sands nearby, gazing into the distance. It truly looked like hills made of gold.
She asked a Katana Robot Soldier next to her, "Number One, have you found the Roran survivors?"
This Katana Robot Soldier was a Level 3 robot soldier, called "Number One" by Zero, and also Zero's second-in-command.
Number One replied to Zero, "Commander, they have been found. We are currently investigating the situation."
"Let's go, to the location of the Roran survivors!"
Then Zero, with Number One, headed towards the Roran survivors' location, and soon disappeared into the swirling sand.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zabuza led Shinno to the coast of the Land of Rivers, where a submarine was quietly waiting.
Shinno's eyes widened when he saw the submarine. He hadn't expected the Hidden Mist Village's technology to be so advanced now.
However, in the next moment, Shinno saw the mark printed on top of the submarine. It wasn't the Hidden Mist Village's mark, but an unfamiliar golden triangle symbol. This completely messed up Shinno's original guesses.
Shinno inadvertently glanced at the submarine and asked Zabuza, "Who exactly are you people? Are you from the Hidden Mist Village?"
"Who told you we're from the Hidden Mist Village?"
Zabuza said disdainfully. For him, the Hidden Mist Village was strong, but not as unfathomably strong as the Mechanical Empire.
Shinno was stunned. This was completely different from what he had imagined. But at this moment, Zabuza tugged at the chains binding him and said without looking back, "Let's go. You'll know who we are when we get there."
Shinno heard this and could only obediently follow Zabuza to this unknown faction's territory. After all, he couldn't win a fight, couldn't break free, so he could only leave it to fate.
As Shinno and Zabuza boarded the submarine and headed to the Mechanical Empire.
Zero and Number One also arrived at the location of the Roran survivors. Zero's group had about 50 people.
However, because they were spread out, searching for the Roran survivors, only ten robot soldiers were with Zero.
Upon reaching the Roran survivors, Zero had the ten robot soldiers scout the vicinity of the Roran survivors to see if any Hidden Sand Village people were monitoring them.
Because Roran had been destroyed many years ago, its survivors had been wandering in the Land of Wind.
And because Roran possessed the Ryumyaku, a huge source of energy, the Hidden Sand Village coveted them. After all, the Hidden Sand Village also wanted the Ryumyaku.
This made the Roran survivors' living conditions increasingly difficult, constantly suppressed by the Hidden Sand Village.
At this moment, in the largest tent among the survivors, the Queen of the Roran survivors was thinking about the survival of her people. They were living a nomadic life, so they also engaged in merchant trade for survival.
However, due to the Hidden Sand Village's suppression in the past two years, the Roran survivors' business had gotten worse and worse, which also led to a decline in their quality of life.
Just as the Roran Queen was considering whether to hand over the Ryumyaku, another person suddenly appeared in her tent.
The Roran Queen saw this person and didn't cry out. She just looked calmly at Zero and said, "May I ask, sir, what brings you here?"
Zero greatly approved of Queen Sara's composure. She hadn't expected Sara, as an ordinary person, albeit a queen, to be so calm in such a situation. It was very rare.
"Don't worry, I'm here to make a deal with you, and this deal is very beneficial to you. It can help you escape your current predicament."
Zero said confidently to Sara. In her opinion, this was the only way for Sara and her people to escape their troubles.
"What kind of deal do you want to make?"
Although Sara had some guesses about the content of the deal, she still couldn't help but ask.
"I will buy the Ryumyaku with money, and allow you to leave the Land of Wind, taking the money to live in another country."
Sara heard this condition and, to be honest, really wanted to agree. After all, the Roran survivors' conditions were very harsh right now.
But she wasn't sure if the other party would kill them all after getting the Ryumyaku.
Seeing the hesitation in Sara's eyes, Zero directly said to Sara, "What are you hesitating about? If the deal succeeds, you'll get a considerable amount of money, and you can leave the Land of Wind to start a new life."
"I..."
Sara was a bit hesitant because she wasn't sure if the other party was telling the truth.
Zero saw Sara's expression and instantly understood. The other party still didn't trust them.
"Don't worry, you don't know our identity. What good would it do us to kill you? And after this deal, we might have another one."
At this time, Zero was wearing a black cloak and a silver mask, making her identity impossible to guess.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that. There's a seal above the Ryumyaku. Although only people from our Roran clan can summon the Ryumyaku, because of the Fourth Hokage's seal, I can't summon it now either."
Sara ultimately refused. For her, the Fourth Hokage's seal was an insurmountable obstacle.
"Leave the seal to me. You just need to summon it, and I'll handle the rest. After this is done, we will escort you out of the Land of Wind, and we will give you ten million ryo."
