I just acted kindly in front of you, but the enemy wouldn't think so."
She was ready to tear the other party's hypocritical face apart with her bare hands. If Scorpion could wander alone in the ninja world, it would be safer than staying in this organization.
Scorpio... is annoying.
This old woman is really old. Even her eyesight has deteriorated to this extent without her noticing.
Corruption makes people arrogant. Even during the period of the Sand Shinobi Flower, Chiyo was just one of many strong people.
She has never seen a higher view and is still trapped in the village war plot where ninjas kill each other.
The enemies of Akatsuki are the rules of the entire world, the classes of the entire world, and even the cultivation system of the entire world.
Chiyo's experience is not of much reference value for these goals, and her personal united front value has not reached a certain level.
Besides, this eager look is a bit dangerous.
After all these years of living together, doesn't he know some of the details of that monster Noah?
The evil spirit hidden in the opponent cannot be compared with a mere ninja battle.
Scorpio, who has had the good fortune to see the tip of the iceberg, understands that the past of that person who always smiles must have been a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The strong smell of blood, the fanatical and domineering will, and the spirit that is vaster than the ocean do not seem like a native of the ninja world at all.
Almost all the leaders knew about the alien visitors, and Noah never concealed it.
No matter how you look at the cards, Chiyo has no chance of winning.
But I can’t persuade her. The old lady is a little upset now.
The more her grandson tried to stop her, the more she wanted to teach that brat a lesson.
So before Scorpion could say anything else, he saw a man walking towards him at the corner.
"What a coincidence, you're here too."
...Scorpion has nothing to say. There are no coincidences in the Rain Country.
Chiyo looked at the bastard in front of her with sharp eyes. Was he the one who wanted to lead Scorpion on the so-called road of peace?
"Let's talk somewhere."
He looked murderous, as if he would suddenly attack and hurt someone at any time.
"Hey~~~ Don't worry, don't worry. It's not easy for Chiyo-senpai to come to the Rain Country. Did Scorpion take you to see the industrial area?"
"What? No! How can that be possible!"
"We are all family, there is no need to hide anything."
"Senior Chiyo, the goods from our Rain Country are now made directly from the production line and sent to the commercial streets, which has greatly improved the production efficiency."
"This is all the hard work that Scorpion and his team put into research and development. The Heavy Machinery Factory's open day just happened to be here. Let's go take a look?"
Although Scorpio did not have any interactivity, Noah still completed the above conversation by himself asking and answering questions.
factory……
This made Chiyo a little hesitant. Holding an open day in such a crucial place was pure nonsense.
But it would be great if the village could get some inspiration from it.
As an elder, you can't just do nothing. You can still have both the village and your grandchildren.
After a while they passed several checkpoints and arrived at the factory area.
"Come in, I'll be waiting for you in the office."
Noah sent the person to Scorpio and left in a flash. I believe that he will not let me down when he arrives at Scorpio's home court.
"Itachi? You're back. Are you getting along well with your new friend?"
"Kisame is not bad, but he tends to overthink."
……
I never expected to hear these words from Itachi's mouth one day, it's just... quite bizarre.
"The situation in the Land of Water is quite complicated. Even the Mizukage has areas that he cannot take care of, so help your new friends more when you have the chance."
"Ah."
"Go find me the scroll with the word wind on it, and push a blackboard over here."
"Yes, teacher, are you going to attack the Sand Village?"
Chapter 168 Heart of Steel
“What are you talking about? This is an exchange meeting for the exchange of commercial resources based on the friendly relations between our two countries that have gone through many hardships for many years.
The purpose is to bring warmth to the Sand Village. If our Rain Country becomes rich, it will naturally drive the Sand Village to become rich as well."
Itachi began to write and draw in the notebook, recording these nonsense-sounding words.
I feel like this set of stuff is very useful in dealing with my father.
On the other side, Chiyo also truly reached the core of the industrial area.
She was very envious of the light industrial assembly line in the assembly plant she visited before. Judging from the feedback from the commercial street, everything produced here is money.
At this time, Scorpion stopped and pointed at the special-shaped building and said proudly.
"Ahead is the birthplace of the Rain Country's industry, the Heart of Steel."
"I like this name very much. It is much better than the name Noah gave me, Rain Country First Steel Plant, or Rain Steel for short. I didn't know monsters had such a flaw before."
……
Before I got close, I heard the sound of machinery running and saw traces of a small rail car.
Huge factory buildings, towering chimneys, white smoke, and workers driving small transport vehicles.
If the lights of thousands of homes in the new town demonstrate the wave of change that electricity has brought to the lives of ordinary people, then coming here is the soul-shaking sight of heavy industry.
The modern production base made Chiyo’s eyes widen.
Rail cars move cartloads of ore here, and it’s almost forming a mine.
"This this……"
This is all money. The poor elder of the Sand Village never thought that one day he would see so much ore and steel.
This mountain of iron ore would take a long time even if the Third and Fourth Kazekage worked together to dig it out, and it cannot be transported out in the desert.
It is so rich that it makes people jealous.
"We have special mining machinery and new mining methods. Ninjutsu is very effective in mining. Isn't this what all previous Kazekage did?"
Chiyo can only say that it is different. The Sand Village is just a ninja village. Except for places like the desert Gobi where no one is around and wild mining can be done, other areas do not belong to the village.
Most of the high-quality resources belong to the Kingdom of Wind.
She really didn't know what to say about the situation in the Rain Country. Was that daimyo really so outrageous?
Then, right before her eyes, the ores were loaded into the furnace one truckload at a time for smelting.
The high temperature made Chiyo feel a little dazed, and the scattered sparks made her feel as if her soul was being burned.
After a while, after the processes of charging, blowing and deoxidation, the steel appears with the desired specifications.
Most of the people operating the entire process are ordinary people, and only a small number of ninjas control the key steps.
The elder of the Sand Village, who was still immersed in shock, felt incredible.
Is this steelmaking?
This refining method... there is no limit on the quantity of ninja tools, no wonder my grandson could create that puppet that ruins the family.
“For the oxygen converter steelmaking method, we only built two 5-ton converters in five years.
The specifications are relatively few, and we can only produce heavy machinery as much as possible.
This is why nowadays the heavy motorcycles in the Rain Country are mainly rented and the prices are still at the highest level.
It is very difficult to make a breakthrough from zero to one, but once everything is on the right track, there will be rapid breakthroughs in quantity and specifications.”
Scorpion looked at the two converters with fanatical eyes.
The design idea here comes from Noah, but the specific design is done by myself.
A steel miracle that can only be created with the assistance of ninjutsu and sealing techniques.
First of all, I would like to thank the leader of Jiu Lama for his help.
In the early stages of hand-rubbing the device, a stable energy source is essential. Whether it is the original chakra energy, or the converted fire energy or electrical energy, they can all be created continuously.
The unique advantages of the tailed beasts really make Scorpion yearn for them, but it's a pity that there are almost no wild tailed beasts, otherwise...
We also have to thank Chief Kushina for the improved and extended version of the Fire Sealing Seal, even many details were adjusted through sealing techniques.
I also have to thank Orochimaru for his assistance. When it comes to scientific development, I can talk to him about anything. He is a jack of all trades, but his best area is biotechnology.
The coolant and deoxidizer were developed by the other party.
We should also thank Kakuzu for his financial management. When the Rain Country was facing financial difficulties in the later period, he did not cut the funding for the steel plant and even used his own private money to invest and subsidize it.
In short, all of this is inseparable from the full support of the Akatsuki organization, which has laid a solid foundation for industrialization.
"What about these ores?"
Technological breakthroughs are understandable. Since Akatsuki is full of talented people, a seemingly miraculous scene is barely acceptable.
But you can't just create ore out of thin air.
"The reserves of the Rain Country were discovered by a leader who was particularly good at gathering intelligence, and in the early days, they were almost frantically excavated in an all-out effort.
Noah said to trade resources for time.
As long as we stay ahead of time, resources will be endless."
"What a bold move! Does this mean that they have tacitly acknowledged that Akatsuki will conquer the continent and give all resources to you?"
Chiyo was horrified. The madman who was risking everything on one throw had never considered failure or setbacks.
Scorpio is becoming more and more fanatical at this moment, and his previous image of aloof genius is no longer visible.
This is his country, the starting point of industrial civilization.
“The materials for the first Zaku were created here.”
"The idea of puppetry is not wrong, because humans have their limits."
"And the upper limit of the material's limits is much, much higher than what we've seen."
“But at the same time, the development of Sand Village’s puppetry has gone down the wrong path. If it continues like this, there will be no qualitative breakthrough for many years.
The wood made by the secret technique is destined to be eliminated. It is expensive, rare, and has a low upper limit. It has reached the end of history.
The foundation of future development is definitely metal, materials, electronic technology, light, matter, and energy.
Only these can change the production model of human beings, and only these can support us to fly to the sea of stars.
This is... eternal art!"
The eyes of the iron literary worker Scorpion are the color of molten iron, the color of change.
Scorpion was almost possessed by Noah at this moment, and spoke out a declaration from the industrial age in a very infectious manner.
Chiyo was a little dazed.
After his son and daughter-in-law died in battle, Scorpion was never seen smiling like this again.
The joy that comes from the heart cannot be faked, it seems that he has really found his own way.
So is it really a good idea to let him return to his normal ninja life?
The desire to cause trouble for Noah and Akatsuki organization faded a little bit, as if this group of people gathered together to do something really extraordinary.
At least...it's much more meaningful than the Ninja War.
After leaving the industrial area, Scorpion returned to his calm expression.
"I'll take you to the tower to find Noah. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
