When Shimizu walked out of the Kazekage Building, it was already afternoon.
He even ate his meal at the Kazekage Building, sharing a table with the Third Kazekage while continuing their discussions.
After a morning and noon of deliberations, the Third Kazekage, having gained a more complete understanding of the Breathing Technique through Shimizu, finalized a plan.
Within a year, Shimizu would lead this group in training the Breathing Technique, while the Third Kazekage would also introduce Jonin and Special Jonin who were already skilled in swordsmanship and taijutsu to assess its effectiveness.
A year later, if the results satisfied the Third Kazekage, he would begin establishing a specialized talent selection and training system for the Breathing Technique.
The Swordsmanship Enhancement Class would become a permanent fixture, serving as an important training institution for the village, though not as crucial as departments like the Puppet Brigade, with its head holding a position equivalent to a deputy head of various departments.
Initially, the swordsmanship and taijutsu courses in the Ninja Academy would be strengthened, and basic content of the Breathing Technique would be added.
Relevant additional questions would be included in the final exams and Genin graduation assessments, and promising talents would be identified and closely observed from this stage.
During their time as Genin, if the supervising Jonin had recommendation rights, they could send Genin to the Swordsmanship Enhancement Class for trial training. Upon passing the review and trial training, they could enter the class to be taught the Breathing Technique, enabling them to cultivate up to the Jouchu realm.
Of course, the current group of individuals, after passing the political review, would follow the same process.
Only after completing the Jouchu Breathing Technique would they be qualified to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods from Shimizu or the Third Kazekage.
This tiered teaching approach was similar to the Black Secret Techniques and White Secret Techniques, ensuring that the core aspects of the Breathing Technique would not be leaked for a considerable period.
Whether it was him or the other ninjas, everyone had their own matters to attend to.
Shimizu usually needed to work at the Puppet Brigade, overseeing the various development matters of new puppet techniques. Sometimes, the Third Kazekage would also assign him high-level missions, tasking Shimizu to lead a team to execute them.
On one hand, it was because Shimizu was now considered a top-tier combat force in the Sand Village, and some missions required the involvement of someone of his caliber. On the other hand, the Third Kazekage also intentionally wanted Shimizu to build relationships with the Jonin who would be executing missions with him.
"You finally came. It's hard to believe you still remember you're a puppeteer."
At the Puppet Brigade base, Sasori coldly looked at Shimizu, using chakra threads to manipulate a puppet behind him for testing.
"Ah, things have been quite busy lately, but there's no helping it. I can only entrust many things to you, Sasori, after all, only you have the ability to accomplish these things."
Shimizu rubbed his nose and observed Sasori's expression.
Hmm, good, he doesn't seem angry.
If Sasori got angry and quit, he wouldn't be able to find such a super genius in puppetry to help him with these tasks.
"Hmph, easier said than done."
Seeing that Sasori hadn't let him off the hook, Shimizu had no choice but to try and change the subject, pointing to the puppet behind Sasori.
"Have the Nidaime Dwarf and Clairvoyant been completed?"
"Not yet, this is just an experimental version, but it's almost done. The current problem is that it's impossible to achieve the legion cluster control and remote communication you mentioned, let alone real-time remote image transmission."
Sasori shook his head and took a design drawing from the side, handing it to Shimizu.
"Tell me more specifically?"
Shimizu glanced at the design drawing and asked.
"I've reviewed all the materials related to sensory ninjutsu in the village and summarized several methods that can be transplanted onto materials using sealing techniques, allowing materials with chakra sensitivity to replace humans in sensing chakra fluctuations. However, the effect isn't very good. A sensory range of one or two kilometers is already considered an excellent sensory ninja.
And in terms of chakra sensing, no matter how good the materials used or how perfectly the seals are inscribed, the effect is far inferior to that of humans."
This was quite normal.
Many technologies, when they are first developed, do not immediately show good results. People can only deduce the prospects of the technology based on experience and theoretical calculations.
It's like how trains ran slower than people when they were first invented, but eventually replaced horse-drawn carriages.
However, this often requires a long time of continuous improvement.
"Then do you have any solutions now?"
Shimizu put down the design drawing and continued to ask Sasori.
"Currently, there are only two methods."
Sasori held up two fingers.
"The first has the possibility of being realized in a relatively short period of time, which is to create a special barrier that senses chakra fluctuations, so as to achieve real-time observation and manipulation within the barrier range. However, in this way, puppets can only be used to enhance the village's defense and are difficult to use in external battles."
Shimizu nodded.
The principle behind this was actually similar to the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball Technique used to peep into the women's bathhouse in Konoha.
"What's the other method you thought of?"
"Do you know about Kagura Shingan?"
"The Uzumaki clan?"
"Yes, Kagura Shingan is currently known to be the sensory ninjutsu with the largest sensing range, and the precision of sensing is also extremely high. If we can capture an Uzumaki clan ninja with Kagura Shingan and make his corpse into a human puppet, retaining his bloodline limit from his lifetime and modifying it, it can become a repeater. As long as this puppet is taken out, it can be easily controlled within the sensing range of Kagura Shingan.
It's just a pity that now that Whirlpool Country has been destroyed, I don't know if we can still find a woman who knows Kagura Shingan."
Shimizu's eyes twitched.
Very good, this solution is very much in Sasori's style.
But Kagura Shingan... perhaps we can find someone in Kusagakure at this point in time?
However, although Kusagakure is just a small country, it is located at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, which is the sphere of influence of Konoha and Iwagakure. If we want to abduct someone, we still have to investigate the intelligence and make appropriate plans.
But there is still one problem.
"How did you manage to make the human puppet inherit the abilities from its lifetime? Have you already researched a method?"
"There is already a feasible method, but it is not perfect."
Sasori said indifferently.
He really did research some results.
But thinking about it carefully, this is also reasonable.
After all, in the original timeline, the Third Kazekage may have already been made into a human puppet by this point.
