Looking at the intelligence on the five great nations in his hand, Kisuke gained a deeper understanding of them, as he had only seen them in the anime in his previous life.
The anime mainly depicted what was in front of one person's eyes, and the detailed affairs of the five great nations were still unclear. But with this report, Kisuke had a general understanding of the various situations in the five great nations.
In his previous life, there was a saying on forums: "Kishimoto knows nothing about Naruto, he's just a manga artist." While Kisuke didn't fully agree, the Naruto he depicted was indeed only a part of the myriad fragments of the Naruto world.
After finishing the intelligence on the five great nations, he casually picked up the Leaf Village's ninjutsu, finding the content quite comprehensive.
In Kisuke's view, these ninjutsu were for the Empire's ordinary citizens to use, not for free, of course, but to be exchanged with points.
Kisuke only briefly looked at the ninjutsu and didn't pay much attention to them. After all, for him, these ninjutsu were useless. Don't let Kisuke's current apparent helplessness fool you.
As someone who possessed the Mechanical Core and had created a glorious era in his previous life, he naturally understood that as the controller of an Empire, he might not be the strongest fighter, but he absolutely had to have the ability to protect himself.
And conveniently, Kisuke, as the supreme controller of the Mechanical Empire, was also the Empire's highest military power. Through the Mechanical Core, Kisuke had developed a set of power armor and a set of mecha. The power armor was complete, and the mecha was still under construction.
In Kisuke's vision, the Empire's main military force would be mecha and power armor, and the power armor for the special robot soldiers, especially the top ones, were all in preparation.
After putting down the ninjutsu, Kisuke picked up the scroll to locate Ryuchi Cave. To be honest, Kisuke was very curious about Ryuchi Cave.
Ryuchi Cave, the dwelling place of the White Snake clan, had existed for thousands of years. A large number of snakes lived there. The master of Ryuchi Cave was the White Snake Sage, who was enormous, coiled on a throne, and had a lifespan of thousands of years, just like the Toad Sage.
The White Snake Sage had accumulated very powerful chakra in her body, held a pipe in her mouth, had orange eyes with green pupils, wore a forehead protector, and had an opal on her chest.
She was mainly responsible for testing those who came to the cave to train. Those who failed would be eaten. She also had many capable subordinates managing the cave, including the three masters: Tagorihime, Ichikishimahime, and Takirihime.
The summoned snake summoning beasts all came from Ryuchi Cave, such as Manda, Aoda, and Koga.
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows that in this world, there are three very peculiar places: Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, and Mount Myoboku.
No one knew the exact location of these three places, as if they were in another dimension. As the masters of these secret realms and the teachers of natural energy, they were known as Sages.
There were two things that truly made Kisuke curious: one was the secret realm, and the other was natural energy.
The secret realm, simply put, was a space separate from the current one, and it couldn't be found by normal means.
Natural energy, born from all things in heaven and earth, originally had no problems. It could be freely absorbed, cultivated, and evolved. Natural energy offered longevity, was hard to detect, could awaken and enlighten the mind, and was easily influenced by an individual's will.
The value of natural energy could be seen from the three Sages. A toad, a snake, and a slug could become Sages by relying on natural energy. Ninja generally had very short lifespans, but the Sages lived for thousands of years thanks to natural energy, showing its ability to help people evolve.
Kisuke looked at the Ryuchi Cave scroll, lost in thought. It was impossible to say he had no desire for Ryuchi Cave.
While natural energy was interesting, it wasn't essential. For Kisuke, natural energy was only very significant for improving the strength of ninja, for his future subordinates, but it was useless to him.
However, Kisuke was very interested in the secret realm itself, because it could greatly increase the Empire's strength, serving as a secret base or secret research facility to imprison or research dangerous things.
The key was that if he targeted Ryuchi Cave, the first thing to consider was the White Snake Sage, which made Kisuke hesitant to act rashly.
The main reason was that Kisuke couldn't gauge the White Snake Sage's strength. The White Snake Sage had lived for thousands of years, and no one knew how strong she was. Her strength was not shown in the anime he watched in his previous life.
This made Kisuke very conflicted. To be honest, Kisuke could only deal with Level 5 and below currently.
Robot soldiers needed an energy core to upgrade to Level 5. Yes, robot soldiers needed a B-rank energy core to reach Level 5.
Robot soldiers below Level 5 usually got their energy from the air into their core for their activities. But once they reached Level 5, the energy needed greatly increased, and energy from the air was completely insufficient. So, upgrading to Level 5 required upgrading a low-level energy core to a B-rank energy core.
If the energy core's level wasn't high enough, even if he had enough energy points now, he couldn't upgrade them.
And in Kisuke's opinion, the White Snake Sage had at least Kage-level strength, or even beyond. With Kisuke's current strength, it was not yet suitable to act against Ryuchi Cave.
But it didn't matter. In Kisuke's view, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, and Mount Myoboku, these three secret realms would eventually belong to the Empire, it was only a matter of time.
Currently, Kisuke's target was not Ryuchi Cave, but Takigakure.
He just mentioned that upgrading to Level 5 required B-rank energy. Kisuke's purpose in targeting Takigakure was for the Tailed Beast, for an energy core. Tailed Beasts were energy bodies, and energy bodies that could regenerate infinitely.
Energy bodies were very suitable for making energy cores, he just didn't know what level of energy core could be made.
Energy cores didn't necessarily have to be made from Tailed Beasts, but in this world, Tailed Beasts were the most suitable for making energy cores.
Moreover, due to the loss of a large amount of knowledge within the Mechanical Core, including knowledge about energy, even though Kisuke had energy stones, he still couldn't manufacture energy cores.
As for creating energy cores out of thin air using energy, low-level energy cores were fine, but for high-level energy cores, the knowledge was insufficient, so they couldn't be created out of thin air. While energy creation was powerful, it wasn't based on imagination; it required knowledge support.
All the previous items were slowly put together by Kisuke himself. They might not be incredibly powerful, but they were very suitable for the current situation.
Kisuke looked at the scroll in his hand, sighed, put it aside, picked up the intelligence report, and began to study Takigakure.
To be honest, Takigakure's strength was not low. As a village outside the five great nations that possessed a Tailed Beast, and the Land of Waterfalls had even sent Kakuzu to assassinate Hashirama Senju in the past. Although it failed, the fact that they even attempted to assassinate Hashirama Senju meant Takigakure had at least some strength. Otherwise, why would they idly try to assassinate Hashirama Senju?
