Chapter 184: Oh Crap, the Chakra Cannon Really Became a Ninja Tool
[Temari is shocked by your strength and begins to pay more attention to you. Your relationship, which had been in a cold war, starts to slowly improve and gradually heats up.]
[Because of Temari's special status as a non-Konoha ninja, she is only considered a civilian in the village. Thus, you take her and Karin directly to the Land of Waves, letting them familiarize themselves with and take over Haku's duties.]
[Haku and Zabuza have no objections, because you have decided to take them to the Hidden Mist to get their revenge. You take them to the Hidden Mist, interfere in the process of Yagura's rampage, and obtain the friendship of the Mist Village and Mei Terumī.]
Seeing this, Akiyama Makoto nodded. The general process was now clear. As for the specific results, he wasn't too concerned this time. After all, he didn't even have the pheromones for Karin, Temari, Tsunade, or Mei.
Next up was researching ninja tools and finding the Sage of Six Paths' tools, right?
In this simulation, he didn't plan on researching anything new, but just continuing to strengthen his proficiency with the Flying Thunder God, the True Spirit Seal, and the Formless Wave. Because Tenten had failed to have a child with him twice before, his focus would be on her this time, ensuring that this simulation was foolproof.
[Next, Sasuke defects, and Naruto leaves with Jiraiya to train. Gaara and Rasa are locked in a repeated power struggle. At Temari's request, you help Gaara and finally subdue Rasa. Gaara becomes the Kazekage, half a year later than in the original storyline.]
[Mei Terumī successfully takes power in the Hidden Mist and signs a foreign trade and transportation agreement with your Land of Waves shipping company. Your company basically takes over the maritime business between several countries, and you are raking in money daily.]
[Many people have their eyes on this juicy piece of meat that is the Land of Waves, but all these ideas vanish after Gaara, Mei, and Tsunade visit the island one after another. Everyone assumes the Land of Waves is a joint project of the three great nations, never knowing that you are the real boss behind the scenes.]
[At this point, you have basically fulfilled your promise to Tazuna, building the Land of Waves into a country full of hope. You have also successfully established a firm foothold there, with over three hundred ninja under your command, including several Jōnin.]
His eyes lit up. It had gone so smoothly! His plan to get the Daimyō to invest hadn't even started, and the Land of Waves was already on its feet. It seemed that interfering in the Hidden Mist was an even better decision than he had thought. He had caught the wave of the Mist's reopening to the outside world and had become an "old friend" of the Land of Water as a result. Plus, he had no ill intentions toward their leadership, so they were naturally happy to let him make his money.
However, he would still continue to push for the transformation of the Land of Waves, because his purpose for all this was to obtain more simulation attempts. As for wealth, it was just a tool.
[Konoha 65: You design and build a ninja tool factory, a pharmaceutical factory, and a medical ninjutsu research institute in the Land of Waves. While serving as the leader, you also gather many talented orphans as apprentices.]
[You pull in a total of one hundred billion Ryō in investments from the Land of Fire's Daimyō and the capital. Such a huge sum of money instantly turns the Land of Waves into the sweet new thing in the ninja world, and countless people flock to it. You, however, turn your focus to finding the Sage of Six Paths' tools for Tenten. These tools are not so easy to obtain.]
[Through continuous investigation, you finally learn that most of the Sage of Six Paths' tools are kept in the Hidden Cloud Village. Getting them from there will not be an easy task. Even with the Flying Thunder God, you still need to leave a mark first; you can't just appear anywhere you want like Obito.]
[However, you are in no hurry. You continuously place Hiraishin marks within the Cloud Village, slowly looking for an opportunity. When there are no opportunities, you and Tenten research ninja tool manufacturing in the Land of Waves, and you gift the entire factory and design institute to her.]
The corner of his mouth quirked. Why did this feel a bit like a "domineering CEO"? But... Tenten should like it, right? After all, this was a ninja tool factory. Wasn't that much more impressive than her little shop?
The facts were just as he had predicted.
[Tenten loves the gift you gave her. In her spare time, she often comes to the Land of Waves to participate in the design and production of ninja tools. Her family's business also begins to expand with your support. Although they still mainly sell tools, they are now a visibly emerging clan in Konoha.]
[At this time, you begin to consciously create chaos within the borders of the Cloud Village. To this end, you clash more than once with the Fourth Raikage A, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer B, and the Two-Tails Jinchūriki Yugito Nii.]
[Without wanting to reveal your identity, you are unable to take them down. However, they are also unable to take down you, who uses ninjutsu like a machine gun. Your mysterious name gradually begins to spread throughout the ninja world.]
[However, they do not realize that you are after the Sage of Six Paths' tools. In Konoha 66, when the Raikage, at the end of his patience, dispatches a large number of people to hunt you down, you finally make your move. Following the intelligence you had gathered, you plunder all of the Sage's tools from the Cloud Village.]
[In the process, you also discover the chakra cannon that the Cloud is secretly researching. Unfortunately, at this time, the research is not yet complete. You have no choice but to give up on the idea of packing up the cannon as well.]
His eyes lit up. Don't! Even if it wasn't finished, you could still take it back as a sample, couldn't you? He quickly chose to use a guidance.
[The Fourth Raikage, upon learning that the Sage's tools have disappeared, flies into a rage. He draws a sketch of your figure and puts a bounty on your head throughout the ninja world. Unfortunately, you had transformed into the appearance of a muscular hunk. Their search based on your appearance will only lead them to Kakuzu.]
[And, taking advantage of the gap when the Cloud sends its ninja out on a wide search, you strike a second time, packing up their half-researched chakra cannon and all its research data. This time, the Raikage is thoroughly enraged and threatens to declare war on the entire ninja world.]
[But you are unconcerned. You know that even Ōnoki is probably laughing at him right now and will definitely not form an alliance. The facts are just as you predicted. The Raikage's anger and military drills last for a year, but he is never able to truly deploy his troops.]
[By this time, you and Tenten have already analyzed the chakra cannon. You discover with regret that it is still in the prototype design stage, not even capable of a test firing. Only then do you remember that it will be at least five or six years before it is successfully developed. You have no choice but to give up on it for now.]
Seeing this, he shook his head with regret. He was not a genius in ninja tool research. If he were to put his energy into it, he could probably figure it out, but was this thing really that meaningful to him? The power of this weapon could indeed destroy the moon in one shot, but that was six years in the future. If he didn't have that kind of combat power by the time of the Great Ninja War, he probably wouldn't even make it through.
But in the future, just before a simulation was about to end, he could steal this cannon again and then slowly complete the research data. Maybe he could be the first to set this thing up. As for the copyright issue... of course, whoever brought it out first was the original!
[To your surprise, Tenten throws herself into the cannon with great enthusiasm. It's clear she also considers the chakra cannon to be a ninja tool. As for the Sage of Six Paths' tools you worked so hard to get, although she treasures them, with her chakra reserves, she is unable to use them normally. They can only be used as decorations.]
[You have no choice but to devote some of your energy to it, and you begin to understand its principles and structure. Then you discover with surprise that the chakra cannon is a machine that looks wild, but is actually extremely precise. It attempts to use a quantitative and qualitative method to perform chakra nature and shape transformation.]
[And this ultimately forms a powerful, artificial Tailed Beast Bomb, which is how it has the effect of nearly destroying the moon in one shot. You have to marvel that the era of scientific ninja tools has already begun, and it will become a trend that cannot be stopped.]
Seeing this, he showed a look of astonishment. He had always known that the Fourth Raikage was no simpleton, but he hadn't expected him to be so far ahead of his time in research. It was just a pity that he had gone down the wrong path. He shouldn't have developed the chakra cannon. If everyone had a chakra gun that could only fire small Tailed Beast Bombs, then there would probably be few in the ninja world who could stand against the Cloud.
The only problem was that after the Fourth Great Ninja War, the general tone of the ninja world was to accumulate strength to deal with the Ōtsutsuki clan. Faced with the two gods, Naruto and Sasuke, A could only take the initiative to put away his ambitions and retire.
But he could consider letting this thing appear ahead of schedule.
Tenten liked ninja tools. The chakra cannon would be her signature weapon!
