In the Mechanical Empire, the submarine carrying Zabuza and Shinno had arrived. As Zabuza and Shinno disembarked, they looked in surprise at the expanding dock.
Because land and underwater resources needed to be transported to each other, Kisuke decided to go all out and rebuild a large dock in another location.
The previous dock was only for civilian use, while this newly rebuilt dock was for military use, not open to the public.
Zabuza saw this and, while amazed at the rapid development of the Mechanical Empire, wasn't particularly surprised, having seen it before. Shinno, however, was different.
It was important to note that the construction of this dock was entirely done by robot soldiers. Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers shaped the modules, and then ordinary robot soldiers assembled them, with incredibly fast efficiency.
But for Shinno, everything he saw seemed so unscientific. After all, there was no one in the ninja world who could transform steel into other materials, nor were there so many people who could casually lift huge modules made of steel.
Zabuza glanced at Shinno, said nothing, as he himself had been very surprised initially. He calmly looked at the robot soldiers under construction and pulled Shinno along.
"Let's go, stop dawdling. Come with me to see His Majesty."
Shinno stumbled, only able to follow Zabuza deeper into the Mechanical Empire.
This journey also opened Shinno's eyes. He felt that his own country's technology wasn't as advanced as what he was seeing. After all, his proud technology was inferior to these.
Meanwhile, deep underground in the Mechanical Empire, in a newly built secret research institute, Kisuke held a potion, looking at the already formed liquid in front of him.
Kisuke wasn't happy, because the experiment he wanted to do had failed. In his previous life, when watching Naruto, everyone knew that Kekkei Genkai was the mainstream in the Naruto world.
Therefore, Kisuke also wanted to integrate Kekkei Genkai into gene medicine. If that didn't work, forming a new bloodline medicine for bloodline inheritance would also be acceptable.
However, the experimental results were not ideal. Without research personnel, Kisuke had to personally take charge, but because Kisuke had to manage the Empire, his time was very limited, leading to no progress so far.
But it wasn't without any gains. The Kekkei Genkai medicine was a byproduct of this period of research.
The Kekkei Genkai medicine could temporarily grant the user a Kekkei Genkai, but it wasn't permanent and wouldn't be passed down through bloodlines, as it wasn't integrated into the genetic system.
So Kisuke didn't conduct in-depth research on the Kekkei Genkai medicine, only making some for backup.
And this time, the successful potion in Kisuke's hand also didn't meet expectations. Just as Kisuke was sighing, he received news that Zabuza had brought Shinno back.
Hearing this news, Kisuke breathed a sigh of relief. For him, the professional had arrived. He would leave this to the professional. As Emperor, it wasn't appropriate for him to specialize in research.
As for whether Shinno would join the Empire, Kisuke wasn't worried that Shinno would refuse. The Empire could give him power and allow him to research boldly. Refusal, however, might mean death. Shinno was a smart man, he would make the right decision.
Kisuke put the potion aside, took off his white lab coat, and prepared to go to the Feudal Lord's mansion to meet Shinno.
At this time, Zabuza and Shinno had also arrived at the Feudal Lord's mansion. The mansion remained unchanged. For Kisuke, this was just a temporary residence.
The true capital of the Mechanical Empire was being built, so this Feudal Lord's mansion was being ignored. Once the Mechanical Empire's capital was established, this Feudal Lord's mansion could be torn down.
When Zabuza and Shinno entered the Feudal Lord's mansion, they saw very heavily guarded sentries.
Then they walked into the main hall. Shinno entered the hall and immediately saw a young man sitting on the throne at the top. He had long black hair flowing over his shoulders, stern eyes, and thin lips, looking like a very authoritative person.
His attire was also very refined, a black army uniform contrasting sharply with a white cloak.
Zabuza, upon seeing this person, immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have brought him back."
Shinno heard Zabuza's words and knew that this person was the one behind Zabuza, the one who ordered his capture.
Kisuke nodded and said to Zabuza, "You did well. Rise."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zabuza stood up and moved to the side, carefully watching Shinno to prevent any sudden moves.
Kisuke saw Zabuza's actions and nodded. This was not wasting the Mechanical Nano Core's purpose.
Although the Mechanical Nano Core could make a person stronger and had various other functions, it also had another effect: it would gradually make the user obey Kisuke's commands.
And this process was not forced, but subtle. The process of the Mechanical Nano Core's subtle influence was also gradual. The more loyal one was to the Empire and to Kisuke, the shorter the process of influence would be.
At this moment, Uzumaki Shirage and Kumaki Yamahai had already used the Mechanical Nano Core. Because they had already recognized the Empire in their hearts, their influence process would be very fast.
This was also why Kisuke didn't have Zero capture Orochimaru immediately. With Orochimaru's current personality, even if he used the Mechanical Nano Core, it wouldn't be able to influence him, and he might even be able to expel the Mechanical Nano Core.
"You are Shinno."
Shinno heard Kisuke's question and said respectfully and confusedly, "I am Shinno. May I ask what this lord wants with me?"
Kisuke looked at his expression and praised his acting skills. He must have spent years traveling in various countries, stealing from ninja.
"I want to invite you to join our Mechanical Empire."
Shinno was stunned when he heard Kisuke's words. Although he had thought of many possibilities before coming, he hadn't expected to be invited to join the other party.
After all, his identity was somewhat taboo. He had enemies in various countries, especially the Leaf Village, which was his mortal enemy.
If the other party didn't know his identity, it would be understandable. But the other party knew his identity and still wanted to invite him to join. This left Shinno speechless.
So Shinno gathered his thoughts and cautiously looked at Kisuke.
"Sir, although I am willing to join you, I am the leader of the Sky Ninja Village and a mortal enemy of the Leaf Village. If you take me in, you will be confronting the Leaf Village, and that's not worth it."
Kisuke listened to Shinno's words, only nodded faintly, and calmly said to Shinno, "As long as you join the Mechanical Empire, you won't have to worry about the Leaf Village. Joining the Mechanical Empire can not only make you stronger, but I will also give you the opportunity to get revenge on the Leaf Village."
