Even during times of peace within the country, they could sell any surplus abroad.
If other places didn't need them due to peace, they would find ways to instigate wars and support a proxy to fight.
This wasn't difficult, as there would always be ambitious individuals everywhere.
"I think I understand what you mean by this new puppet technology."
Sasuna Sajo rubbed his large head.
"Applying the puppets originally used for combat to enhance the village's war potential and expand production is indeed a different path from that of the founder, Monzaemon."
"You underestimate Shimizu and the results of our painstaking research."
Sasori curled his lips, extended his left hand, and beckoned in a certain direction.
Several chakra threads shot out rapidly, connecting to two puppets.
You only need to set the trajectory in the air before takeoff, and it can fly tens of kilometers at a time.
The bird's eyes are made of high-purity glass, refined and fired by Shimizu, and have four focal lengths. When the internal chakra-sensitive material receives changes in light, it emits chakra signals that are stored in the tape inside.
Afterward, you only need to put the tape on a device that can display the image.
This way, the village's ninjas can safely scout enemy positions from tens of kilometers away."
Sasori explained.
Chiyo put her kunai aside and took the exquisitely crafted wooden puppet bird from her grandson's hand.
"Display the image... Can you demonstrate it?"
"Yes, but before using it, you need to connect the puppet to this sealed logic controller and plan the route, preferably with a map."
Sasori pointed to a large device in the room that was about the height of a person.
This thing is functionally equivalent to a simplified computer host. Although it is still relatively primitive and the amount of calculation is not large, it is limited by the current level. In order to ensure the computing power, the volume is not small.
However, after being equipped with peripherals, it can already assist in handling many things.
Sasori wrote the instructions on the spot, released the Clairvoyant Eye bird, flew it around the garrison, and then took off the tape and started reading it.
Chiyo was a little surprised as she looked at the slightly distorted, slightly stuttering color image on the screen.
"I heard that in the Land of Snow in the north, their daimyo invented something called a 'movie', which can also record plays performed by people and play them multiple times. Ebizo also sent people to investigate."
"It's just that the equipment used for recording videos is not easy to carry around, and the startup process is also a bit complicated. Therefore, it has been determined that it will take many years for it to be applied to military affairs. On the contrary, the camera and the photo have already begun to be tested in the intelligence department."
The technological content of Shimizu and Sasori's Clairvoyant Eye bird has surpassed the current ninja world by at least twenty years.
If they continue to develop it further, the usage will be similar to the drones in modern warfare.
After all, Naruto already had walkie-talkies when he graduated, and that was more than twenty years from the current timeline.
"It is worth continuing to develop. If it can be developed into autonomous control, rather than flying according to a predetermined program, then important information can be obtained in the first time in open battlefields such as plains. However, even as it is now, it is a good supplement to the sensory unit."
Chiyo expressed her approval of Shimizu and Sasori's finished product.
This thing is already qualified to be taken out separately as a special ninja tool and distributed in batches to the sensory unit and the border garrison patrol team.
A normal sensory ninja would have a sensing range of several kilometers, which is considered very large.
Unless it is Kagura Shingan from the Uzumaki clan, or Tobirama Senju, a rare exception in a hundred years, they might possess such abilities.
However, the five major ninja villages actually have a certain large-scale sensing ability, but they all have considerable limitations and will not be used easily, such as Konoha's sensory barrier, the Third Hokage's crystal ball, which can be used to see most places within Konoha, and the Yamanaka clan's sensory ninjutsu, which is used with that helmet, and Ao of Kirigakure, who uses that water ball.
But these are all ninjutsu that a ninja village uses to suppress the bottom of the box. Unless there is a war, they will not be used easily, nor will they be used all the time.
The Clairvoyant Eye bird is enough to make up for the shortcomings of conventional sensory ninjas, and there is even room for continued development and progress.
"What a remarkable reconnaissance puppet! What about this puppet?"
Sasuna Sajo looked at the other short, stocky puppet.
"This is a puppet I made, called 'Dwarf'. It's a simplified version of 'Fatty' made by Shimizu, with only the combat power of an average genin."
Sasori said.
"That's pretty average!"
Sasuna Sajo patted Dwarf and suddenly felt two cold gazes fall on him.
One was Sasori, the creator of the puppet, and the other was Sasori's grandmother, Chiyo.
"However, Sasori, as a puppet master genius on the same level as Shimizu, this puppet must have something special about it!"
Sasuna Sajo immediately changed his words.
Sasori withdrew his gaze.
"I am far inferior to Shimizu. Although I designed this puppet myself, I now think that it is still somewhat cliché. The only two advantages are that the cost is cheap enough and that many command modules have been pre-inputted during production, making it easy to operate."
Sasori used a chakra thread to control Dwarf to walk.
"As long as you can learn to condense and use chakra threads, you can basically exert the combat power of this puppet relatively completely. That is to say, more than 70% of the students who have taken puppet art electives in the ninja school can smoothly manipulate this puppet."
"If it is a genin puppeteer, they should be able to manipulate two or more puppets."
Chiyo was a little uneasy now.
"Are you sure? Sasori, you wouldn't be comparing your own level to Shimizu's when you were still in ninja school or a genin, would you?"
Chiyo was too clear about what this meant.
Don't look down on genin as the lowest level of professional ninjas, but they are also the most numerous, accounting for more than half of the number of ninjas.
If this kind of puppet is really as Sasori said, then after it is promoted among the genin puppeteers, the combat power of all the genin puppeteers in Sunagakure will increase by nearly half.
