"What a bunch of useless fellows. Pakura, your subordinates really don't seem like much. Even with darling's help, they're still so pathetic!"
Hancock stood at the entrance of the Water-attribute Chakra energy room, pressing her hand against the character for 'Water'. While channeling Chakra, she spoke to Pakura with a look of disdain.
Pakura grit her teeth and said nothing. As it turned out, she had underestimated the amount of Chakra required to fill the energy pools. The Wind, Earth, and Fire attribute energy pools were manageable, as these three were mainstream in the Hidden Sand Village, and there was never a shortage of Ninjas with these attributes.
Lightning-attribute users were much rarer. After searching throughout the Hidden Sand, they only managed to find a little over a hundred people. Despite their best efforts, the Lightning-attribute Chakra energy pool was still only about ninety percent full.
"My Lord..." Pakura looked up helplessly at Vegapunk, her face flushing slightly. She had spoken too confidently at the start, and now she was being proven wrong.
Vegapunk frowned. "Next time, you should estimate the data more accurately. Even if you aren't a scientist, you can't always rely on intuition to get things done!"
Pakura lowered her head and replied in shame, "I'm sorry, My Lord... I was wrong this time."
As for Vegapunk, he didn't care about the strength of the Hidden Sand. Even if this bunch of Hidden Sand Ninjas were all useless trash who could never become Chunin in their lives, Vegapunk could give each of them Jonin-level combat power through his technology.
It was just his nature as a scientist that made him unable to tolerate Pakura's rough conclusions based purely on feeling without any investigation.
Then, Vegapunk also reached out a hand. Chakra so massive it rivaled a Tailed Beast's surged instantly, and powerful energy was immediately injected into the Lightning-attribute Chakra energy pool.
As the final energy pool was filled, the five different attributes of Chakra immediately began to circulate. Simultaneously, stimulated by the circulating Chakra, a giant heart located in the sealing chamber at the very bottom of the energy pools began to beat.
Massive waves of Chakra surged from the energy pools with every beat of the heart. The entire weather tower suddenly seemed to come alive, radiating a powerful and terrifying aura.
Pakura trembled slightly, and the large group of Hidden Sand Ninjas who had been inputting Chakra into the Wind, Fire, and Earth energy rooms turned even paler. Such a massive amount of Chakra made all the Hidden Sand Ninjas feel as if they were facing several Tailed Beasts at once.
Some Hidden Sand Ninjas with Chakra sensing abilities trembled all over. In their perception, the weather tower before them, based solely on the amount of Chakra it displayed, was already nearly ten times that of Shukaku.
At the same time, with the weather tower's power system fully completed, strange ripples spread out from the Hidden Sand Village. The relentless gales that had always blown across the Land of Wind weakened significantly. In the heart of the Hidden Sand, those gales suddenly turned into gentle breezes.
The biggest problem for a desert nation was never the lack of rainfall, but the never-ending, sweeping gales. These winds carried away moisture, eroded the earth, and knocked down plants; they could be called the main culprit behind the formation of all deserts.
Why is afforestation the best way to manage a desert? It's because plants can greatly reduce the wind force in the desert, retain moisture, and stabilize the soil. Deserts don't lack water; it's just that the water is lost too quickly.
Of course, the weather tower's ability to change the Land of Wind wouldn't happen overnight. No matter how strong the Chakra inside the weather tower was, it couldn't rely entirely on Chakra to control all the weather in the Land of Wind. It also had to rely on the butterfly effect theory to make minute adjustments to the weather patterns. It was just that Chakra made doing such things much easier.
However, ten days later, the original gales across the Land of Wind finally calmed down completely. The weather tower's effects began to show. The moisture that had been difficult to keep in the Land of Wind due to the gales slowly gathered, and soon, rain began to fall across the entire Land of Wind.
Hidden Sand Village, amidst a fine curtain of rain.
"Why are you up so early? It's quite cold outside!" Vegapunk yawned and asked as he looked at Pakura, who was standing by the window in thin pajamas.
"I never imagined that the Hidden Sand Village could ever see a day like this..."
Standing on a floor of the weather tower over a hundred meters high, Pakura looked outside with a dazed expression. Currently, a fine rain was falling over the Hidden Sand Village; this rain had started last night and continued until this morning.
If one observed closely, they would find that the Hidden Sand Village below was already quite different from before. Originally, the Hidden Sand Village was entirely a dusty, earthy yellow, but now, emerald green plants had sprouted in many places, making it look camouflaged instead.
"It will get even better in the future! The current weather in the Land of Wind has only been changed for a month. In another two or three years, once the plants and trees have grown, that's when the modification will probably be considered truly complete."
Vegapunk climbed out of bed. Pakura, who had been watching the rain outside, naturally walked over to help him dress.
Pakura had become quite adept at these maid-like tasks. Although Vegapunk was unprecedented and unmatched in scientific research, it was precisely because he was often immersed in his studies that he had little time to look after himself.
As for Hancock, although she was very willing to serve Vegapunk, it was clear that the Empress had no talent for such things. Usually, Robin would handle them.
After leaving that versatile assistant, Nico Robin, at the Sea Ninja Village, Pakura took Robin's place. At first, she was a bit clumsy, but now she was very proficient.
Especially after becoming the Fifth Generation Kazekage and seeing Vegapunk's changes to her hidden village, Pakura no longer agonized over Vegapunk's stance or her own identity.
In any case, with her own abilities, even if she worked hard for ten lifetimes, it would be impossible to make the Ninjas of the Hidden Sand Village this strong, let alone allow the villagers to live such a good life.
Since that was the case, there was nothing wrong with her being this puppet Kazekage.
"By the way, My Lord, the Queen of Loulan you were looking for has been brought here!"
Pakura seemed to remember something and said directly, "Do you need to see her?"
Vegapunk's spirits lifted. Ever since he discovered the mark for Loulan on the world map, he had been very interested in this nation that appeared in the movie. Especially the Dragon Vein beneath Loulan, which involved profound subjects like space-time transfer, making him very eager to study it.
Minato Namikaze's Sealing Technique couldn't stop Vegapunk, but the danger of the Dragon Vein itself was too high. He wasn't some protagonist and didn't want to play with time travel again. Therefore, he had issued a mission to find the Queen of Loulan, who possessed the ability to control the Dragon Vein.
