Sasori pulled out more crudely shaped diodes and Chakra Capacitors from his ninja tool pouch.
Qingshui took the diodes and Chakra Capacitors and began infusing them with Chakra to test them out.
They conducted in the forward direction and blocked in the reverse direction.
This was indeed a diode specifically for Chakra.
The capacitors could also store and release Chakra.
The principle wasn't actually difficult.
As is well known, Sealing Jutsu has the ability to seal, store, and suppress Chakra. Unsealing it can also release Chakra.
So, these could be used to simulate electrodes to create Chakra Capacitors, and also to create diodes that allow Chakra to flow in only one direction.
Theoretically, the effects of Sealing Jutsu could also represent "0" and "1"—that is, the release and suppression of Chakra—which could simulate logical operations of AND, OR, and NOT gates, forming a basic Logic Gate System.
And with a Logic Gate System, plus the storage capabilities of Sealing Jutsu, this meant that the most fundamental conditions for building a computer had been met.
And when these could be made with Chakra, building computers using electrical energy would be even easier.
Of course, using Chakra was better, as it meant easier integration with Puppetry, making it convenient for Puppet Masters to create and control more powerful Puppets.
However, they were still a long way from achieving those things.
Sasori's Sealing Jutsu proficiency wasn't high. He couldn't make a seal reusable; once triggered, apart from unsealing it, no other operations were possible. Opening it once and closing it once rendered it useless.
But it was still quite good, considering it was just the beginning.
"Not bad, Sasori. How long has it been? You've already tested so many materials."
Qingshui's gaze turned to the densely filled but impeccably neat table of records.
"Aside from the final organization, the rest wasn't troublesome. I listed most of the less important tests as tasks and posted them at the Kazekage Building. It didn't take many days for the Puppet Masters in the village to help me finish that part of the work," Sasori said dismissively.
Qingshui: ...
He almost forgot, this guy was ridiculously rich.
Even if all the tasks posted were D-rank, with so many materials, the number of tasks wasn't small. When calculated carefully, it was quite a significant expense.
"Next, we need to find a way to strengthen Sealing Jutsu. According to my concept, later we'll need to create components like capacitors, resistors, and inductors with sufficiently long lifespans, build simple processors using logic circuits, and then construct Programmable Sealing-style Logic Control Units through Sealing Jutsu arrays to achieve programmatic control of Puppets."
"By then, even Ninja Academy students, after training, will be able to control powerful Puppets, and even further down the line... this world will be changed by you and me!" Qingshui exclaimed, his eyes gleaming, looking at the Chakra Diode in his hand.
"Yes! Exactly!"
Sasori, who usually had an indifferent expression, was no longer calm, nodding vigorously.
"Hey! What are you two whispering about?! The banquet's about to start!" Jianye called out to Qingshui and Sasori, slapping the classroom door.
Only then did the two realize that the classroom was almost empty.
"Let's go."
Qingshui put his things into his Ninja Tool Pouch, stretched, and stood up from his chair.
It was still summer in the Demon Slayer World, but the Naruto World was about to celebrate the New Year.
The Third Kazekage was holding a celebration banquet on the last day before the New Year to commemorate the end of the war, reward merits, and simultaneously hold the final match of this year's Chunin Exams. Finally, he would announce to the entire village the Sand Hidden Village's post-war development plan, which had been decided at the Jonin conference.
At this time, Sand Hidden Village was decorated with lanterns and streamers. On the Kazekage Building, a flag with the Sand Hidden symbol, its edges embroidered with golden-red patterns, was raised.
The largest square in Sand Hidden Village was Training Ground One, but because the Emerald of Wind, a natural production base for important Puppet materials, was located there, this area was not open to ordinary villagers who were not ninjas.
Therefore, the venue for this celebration was Training Ground Two.
This place had been built into an open-air auditorium early on by Earth Release ninjas and some Puppet Masters.
But calling it an auditorium felt a bit out of place; there was a table on a raised platform, with two chairs behind it.
Because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and many nobles were also invited to attend, the Kazekage and the Daimyo, the two highest leaders of the Land of Wind, would dine together.
Around the platform were circles upon circles of tables and chairs. Further down was a huge arena dug out of the ground using Earth Release Ninjutsu, making the place look like a gladiatorial arena.
No one knew who had the idea to hold the final elimination round of the Chunin Exams here.
In any case, Chunin-level battles were generally controllable, and Genin who made it to the final stage of the Chunin Exams wouldn't be like freshly graduated Genin who barely knew any Ninjutsu, falling into an awkward situation of "chicken pecking at chicken." The spectacle was quite decent.
Moreover, many people, both ninjas and civilians, quite enjoyed watching the Chunin Exams.
"Qingshui! Over here!"
As soon as Qingshui and Sasori entered the venue, they saw Pakura waving at them.
"Where are Baki and Captain Chiran? Aren't they with you?" Qingshui naturally sat down next to Pakura.
"Baki was assigned to temporarily protect the Daimyo's entourage, and Captain Chiran is serving as the chief referee for the Chunin Exams. They're both busy. And I'm not very familiar with anyone else here; I don't even have anyone to talk to."
She was actually just too lazy to talk to strangers.
"What a shame for those two, having to work even with the New Year around the corner," Qingshui ribbed, spotting Baki standing guard on the high platform.
"Don't you have any other acquaintances?" Sasori asked, a hint of displeasure in his voice as he looked at the woman who had called Qingshui over.
He had actually hoped to continue discussing Puppetry with Qingshui here.
"You must be Sasori, the friend Qingshui talks about! Hello, my name is Pakura, and I'm also Qingshui's friend. As for acquaintances... I'm an orphan from a civilian background. I couldn't be bothered to make friends with those immature idiots at the Ninja Academy. In my first squad after graduation, besides me, only one teammate retired due to injury and stopped being a ninja. Everyone else died in battle."
"After that, it's the story of being in the same squad as Qingshui and them," Pakura said, sitting in a chair and tossing shelled nuts into her mouth.
"My apologies," Sasori said, suddenly feeling he was quite similar to Pakura.
Aside from Qingshui, he didn't seem to have any truly recognized friends either.
"It's fine," Pakura waved her hand.
She was actually a bit socially anxious, but she was good at disguising herself as a strong, capable woman.
This led to the Pakura of the original timeline lacking background and connections, yet possessing the ability to threaten Rasa's position as Kazekage, ultimately resulting in her betrayal and death by the Sand Hidden.
