Chapter 77: War Puppet Production Line
After seeing off the Konoha delegation, Kabuto came to Kai and reported, "Everything is ready. As long as you give the order, the puppet production line can be started."
Kai was in a great mood. He knew that his efforts were not in vain, "Let's go and see my army of puppets together."
Later, Kabuto and Kai took the elevator of the Sound Village Underground Research Institute together, went deep underground, and came to a huge underground workshop. In the workshop, rows of production lines are neatly displayed.
This is a huge underground space opened up by Kai using the tenseigan. The huge production lines and puppet workers are ready and ready to start operating.
Looking at this magnificent production line, Kai couldn't help but raise his lips with satisfaction, and then gave an order to the researchers beside him, "Let's get started."
"Yes! Start transmitting power..."
Ten minutes later, the huge production line began to operate, emitting strong vibrations and rumbling mechanical sounds.
The entire production line is driven by a combination of electricity and thermal energy, all of which come from underground magma. Kai activated the Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion to cut through a large area of the ground and led the magma here.
The production workers are puppets who can work 24 hours a day.
A few minutes later, the first batch of puppets of various colors were successfully shipped out of the factory, with complete military types. These were the results of careful design by many research and development personnel.
Kai and everyone came to the warehouse. Kai activated his tenseigan and condensed the spirit ball to activate a war puppet at will. The puppet started to move instantly.
Kai casually ordered, "Jump up."
The puppet holding the sword shield jumped up as expected.
"Squat down."
The puppet squatted down again.
"Dance."
The puppet began to twist its body irregularly again.
Kai was very satisfied with these puppets he made. He withdrew the spirit balls he made. Making spirit balls puts a burden on Kai's own spirit.
Unless necessary, Kai must maintain a controllable number of puppets.
"Not bad, Kabuto, I'm very satisfied with these puppets."
"As long as your Majesty is satisfied, I just don't know if you let us create so many puppets. If you want to drive them all, will it be harmful to your health?" Kabuto asked with concern.
Everything he does now is based on Kai. If Kai has any shortcomings, his dream will be over.
Kai smiled and said indifferently, "Of course I know that. I have already started to find the energy that can drive these puppets. Of course I will not take my own life as a joke."
Kai is talking about the Dragon Vein or the huge golden Tenseigan on the moon.
The dragon vein is now sealed in Loulan. The power of the dragon vein can only be effective in the territory of Loulan. Unless you have a way to dig into the country of Sound, you will hand over the lifeblood of the puppet army to others.
The golden Tenseigan of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon is Kai's main target, and Kai has made two preparations for this.
One is to let his loyal "partner" Black Zetsu lead his White Zetsu to search for the spring water under the Moon.
The second is the eye power gem on Hinata and Hanabi. As long as the Ōtsutsuki clan member on the moon, Ōtsutsuki Toneri wants to awaken the tenseigan, he must come to capture the Byakugan of the two.
And he monitors the two of them at all times. As long as Ōtsutsuki Toneri appears, he will directly knock on the door and send him a golden wheel rebirth explosion to let him see Hagoromo and Hamura, and then bring back the huge tenseigan.
Kai then asked, "With the funds from Konoha and the savings over the past few years to purchase materials from the Kingdom of Iron, how long can the production line cover be operated and how many puppets can be produced."
Kabuto said ambiguously, "After deducting the necessary maintenance funds for Sound Country and Sound Village, we can probably manufacture 10,000 war puppets of various models."
Kai shook his head. This number is not very satisfactory. Black Zetsu has one hundred thousand White Zetsu, and he must at least have an army of one hundred thousand puppets.
Although these are useless miscellaneous soldiers when faced with the Super Kage level and Six Paths level battles, if the plan changes, he can also directly launch a ninja war.
There are only two ways for state power to obtain money: increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
It is impossible to reduce expenditures. There are so many researchers at the Sound Village Institute who are applying for funds from the Finance Department every day for various projects. The financial manager, Ping Weiyan, is always going to Kabuto to cry and complain.
There is only one way to open source.
Sound village has reached a maximum economic threshold under Kabuto's concept of rejuvenating the country through science and technology.
Unless the territory expands and the population surges, the upper limit has been reached, and it will be difficult to make any major improvements.
The fastest way for a country's political power to make quick money is to follow the example of certain countries and borrow debt from abroad.
This is also the method that Kai came up with.
He borrowed money from others and had to pay it back, but he didn't need it.
Then he would hold a Banquet and call all the top officials of the country.
Finally, he asked Hikari to appear and use eight thousand spears to turn them all into Kai's dogs. .
But there must be a legitimate name, and it will always be possible to deceive those big countries to save their face.
'Then I can also organize a federal government to bring all the surrounding small countries over to form a new country, and then control the top management of each country to provide money in the name of common armaments.'
At that time, it looks like a federation, but in fact Kai secretly controls all countries.
This matter happened to be carried out right after the war between Iwagakure and Konoha, and he also happened to rely on this border friction to build his prestige.
Speaking of this, he would also like to thank Konoha for giving me this opportunity.
Kai figured out the twists and turns, and told the plan to Kabuto beside him.
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said excitedly, "Then it starts from the Country of Iron, where the iron-producing country imports raw materials, and then the Country of Taki, a country that has always maintained neutrality and is also very rich in resources."
When he said this, he seemed to have seen the steady flow of funds pouring into the research laboratory of Sound Village.
Kai ordered, "Yes, but the prerequisite for this is to establish prestige in this war, Motegi Shinobi, send troops to the country of grass."
A tall man following the two men immediately responded, "Yes!"
Motegi Shinobi, the leader of the Motegi clan in the Harada country, has reached the level of Elite Jōnin and has good commanding abilities. He was later recruited (brainwashed) by Kai.
After some modifications by the guys at the institute, with the help of the Sage Jutsu curse seal, it could barely reach the threshold of Kage-level strength.
