"Everyone, this is Dr. Vegapunk from the Sea Ninja Village, and he is also the heir to the Daimyo of the Land of Sea. My ability to return this time and the awakening of my Magnet Release Bloodline Limit are all thanks to Dr. Vegapunk's research!"
"Therefore, this time, I will hire Dr. Vegapunk to be our Hidden Sand's Advisor, as an Honorary Elder of the Hidden Sand Village."
Pakura introduced Vegapunk to everyone in the Hidden Sand Village and then announced her decision, which caused a slight commotion among the Sand Ninjas.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the relationship between Pakura and Vegapunk was definitely not simple. At the very least, Vegapunk seemed to have the upper hand in their relationship. Who knows how many conditions this newly appointed Kazekage had agreed to.
But the current Hidden Sand no longer had the ability to resist. Pakura's word was law here, except for the siblings Ebizo and Chiyo; other Sand Ninjas couldn't even voice their opposition.
After hearing Pakura's decision, the siblings Chiyo and Ebizo only widened their eyes and carefully observed Vegapunk for a moment.
In fact, Ebizo was the original head of the intelligence system controlled by the Hidden Sand Village. He had, of course, heard the name Vegapunk long ago.
However, there was far too much valid and invalid intelligence coming from the Sea Ninja Village. Among it, the intelligence on Vegapunk was too exaggerated and bizarre, with extremely low credibility, so he hadn't studied it very seriously.
But this time, Ebizo felt he might have misjudged. Just that aircraft capable of firing a destructive beam of light already utilized technology of unknown advancement.
Something capable of causing such destruction could probably only be matched by a Tailed Beast Ball unleashed at full power by the Eight-Tails or Nine-Tailed. But even the strongest Nine-Tailed would have a delay of over ten seconds to unleash a full-power Tailed Beast Ball, and it would cause violent Chakra fluctuations that Ninjas could instantly sense even from several kilometers away.
At that point, a Ninja village could completely react. Even if they couldn't defend against it entirely, they could block most of its power.
While Vegapunk's aircraft was powerful, its firing speed was also incredibly fast. Furthermore, it didn't have the slightest Chakra fluctuation, possessed extremely high flight speed, and had an outer shell defense that could at least ignore B-rank Ninjutsu.
It could be said that if this aircraft were used to launch a surprise attack on other Ninja villages, it would definitely be a precise strike every time. Even the strongest Konohagakure wouldn't be able to withstand it.
A weapon of this magnitude, unless it was his own invention, no matter how you looked at it, couldn't possibly be entrusted to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, right?
If it really was his own invention, then the young man before them was likely a true super genius in scientific research. In that case, the intelligence regarding Vegapunk naturally gained a high level of credibility.
Finally, Ebizo lowered his eyes and said with a bowed head, "I have no objection to the Kazekage's decision. With such a genius becoming our Honorary Elder, the Hidden Sand Village naturally welcomes him."
Chiyo and her brother Ebizo had always acted in unison. Once Ebizo spoke, it was as good as settled... Since Vegapunk became the Honorary Elder of the Hidden Sand, he didn't do much else. First, he gathered all the secret Ninjutsu and various research materials of the Hidden Sand in one fell swoop, then hid in his room for two days to read them before returning the materials.
If it were an ordinary person, two days probably wouldn't even be enough to finish reading the outlines of those materials. However, Pakura still had some understanding of Vegapunk. The only reason Vegapunk returned the materials was that he had already thoroughly researched and understood them, and no longer needed those things.
And indeed, it was so. In Vegapunk's view, although many of the Hidden Sand's studies were not lacking in ingenious ideas, they were ultimately too crude and lacked depth. If it weren't for the fact that Chakra, a versatile energy source, skipped many technological hurdles, those studies would only be considered children's toys.
