Chương 120: Development

It's been over a month and a half since Mito came to Kirigakure. She has adapted to life here, going to work and coming home every day, leading a regular and fulfilling life.

Moreover, Mito looked at Momochi Ranha, who was dressed as a maid.

"Ranpo, what's for today's dishes?"

With a slight bow, Ranpo said, "Miss Mito, today's meal consists of top-grade grilled beef from the Land of Lightning, along with the Land of Lightning's specialty sake."

These things are very difficult to obtain in Kirigakure at present.

"Do you have any more here?" Mito asked in surprise.

"Yes." Hyakuchi Ranpa has subordinates and businesses all over the five great nations. If he wants to continue researching puppets, the first thing Hyakuchi Ranpa must do is make money. On his way to defect, Hyakuchi went to all five great nations. The Land of Water was the last stop. He originally planned to take a short trip and then leave after hiding for a while, but he was caught by Yura. The subsequent plans had to be suspended.

Momochi Ranba said, "Don't worry, if Miss Mito needs it, I will arrange for my subordinates to procure it later."

At that moment, Yura pushed open the door and said, "That kid Chikamatsu is gone."

"We should have left long ago," Mito said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to see me off?" He glanced at Momochi Ranba.

Jieluo looked at Baidi Ranpo and said, "That kid has special feelings for you."

"They're just colleagues I've known for four years," said Ranba Momochi.

The feud between her and Retsuto was simple. The three major families of the Iga school had a long-standing feud with the three major families of the Koga school. During the long struggle, the three major families of the Iga school were driven out of the Land of Fire by the three major families of the Koga school, and the Momochi family was forced to wander to the Land of Wind. In her generation, Retsuto rose to power in the desert. The entire Momochi family was defeated by Retsuto and surrendered.

In the following period, the family was mostly wiped out by Retsuto under various pretexts. After all, the Momochi family was one of the three ancient major families, and Retsuto was wary of them recovering. In pursuit of power, she devoted herself to the forbidden field of puppet modification. After succeeding, she brazenly defected.

Compared to the dying old man Bai Lian, the still young Lie Dou values power more.

Jieluo didn't care and ordered everyone to start eating. Baiji stood aside, watching this scene with some envy.

She couldn't eat solid food and could only receive special nutrient solutions to aid absorption and digestion. She had to give herself injections every day.

If she had to do it all over again, she wouldn't want to turn herself into a puppet.

After lunch, everyone went back to their own business. The four little ones went to receive their tasks, while Yura and Mito went to work at the team.

With the arrival of Momochi, Yura's Seventh Division officially began operations. The collected personnel information and resumes were handed over to Momochi for screening. After Momochi's selection, the original core team was finally formed.

The Seventh Division's offices were located on the first and second floors of Yura's residence. Yura went downstairs and arrived there. Mito left directly. Inside the office, many clerical ninjas were still eating their own bento boxes.

Upon seeing Momochi, they all stood up and said, "Vice Captain!"

Ignoring everyone, Jieluo went straight to her office. Baiji waved for everyone to sit down before entering her office.

With the establishment of the Seventh Division, money began to flow like water.

The main problem lies in various specialized equipment, which, in Jie Luo's view, is not yet professional enough.

"Once the equipment arrives, those projects can officially begin," Momochi reported.

Jie Luo sat in her office chair, her fingers tapping lightly on the desk. She looked at the plan in her hand, pondering the details and what additions were needed.

The laboratories are all located inside the mountain behind the statue, within Jieluo's lair. Inside the mountain are layers and passages constructed from Jieluo's numerous hairs, serving as both offense and defense. In a sense, they are located inside Jieluo's belly.

"However..." Momochi said, "we are still lacking some necessary live test subjects."

Yura looked up at Momochi and said, "Is this kind of thing common in Sunagakure?"

"The battle raged every day," Momochi said.

"Every day, a steady stream of defeated ninjas were sent to the laboratory. That period was the time when the village's technology developed the fastest. I took away all the research data on human puppets. If Sunagakure wanted to continue its research, it would have to use some pretext to attack the villagers."

Yoro understood that this matter was later handled by Chiyo. Many Sunagakure ninjas died, and it ended in a tragic and complete closure, but it also left Sasori with valuable technical data.

"Go find Old Man Bailian, he'll handle it," Jieluo said.

"Recently, Xueji led a team and conquered many small ninja clans. Some of these clans put up a very strong resistance and vowed never to join Kirigakure."

"Master," Momochi said, "forgive my bluntness, but how should we resolve this afterward?"

Jieluo looked at Baichi and said, "Of course we buy, otherwise what's the point of making money?"

The little doll on Momochi's shoulder tilted its head slightly, asking uncertainly, "Can I buy it?"

"Where there's demand, there's a market, so of course we can buy it." Jie Luo waved his hand, picked up a draft plan on the table, and said, "With your technical skills, this should be easy to complete, right?"

Bai Di looked over and nodded.

"Then let's make some progress as soon as possible and show it to that old man Bai Lian," Jie Luo said.

This project is a modification plan for ninja prosthetics. As ninjas, they are always fighting and killing, and it is difficult for them not to be injured or disabled. Kirigakure does not have the same medical technology for organ reconstruction and limb transplantation as Konoha, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, mechanical prosthetics are not useless.

Once prosthetics are widely adopted, many of the injured and cruel in the village will be able to find new employment and continue to contribute to the village and earn money.

"Understood." Bai nodded, pondering a feasible solution.

"You can make it as powerful as possible and promote it well," Jieluo said.

"That way, some ninjas will be tempted to cut off their own limbs and install prosthetics. Afterward, you can use this to induce them to further modify their bodies into full-body puppets, helping you accumulate experience in puppet development."

Holding the project proposal in her hand, the little doll on her shoulder stared wide-eyed at Jieluo.

"What's wrong?" Jieluo asked.

"Do you think I'm the devil?"

"No, Master," Momochi said, "You're a genius!!!"

Genius...?

Jielu chuckled softly, picked up a proposal, and handed it to Baiji.

"Furthermore, this project is the core and focus of your work going forward."

On how the development and utilization of negative mental energy can be converted into a large amount of chakra.

After flipping through the pages for a while and getting a general understanding, Momochi looked up and hesitated, "Is this possible? To synthesize chakra without the participation of life energy alone doesn't conform to the theoretical common sense of the ninja world."

"How is that impossible?" Jieluo looked into the eyes of the Momochi puppet and said, "The Sharingan is this kind of thing, which transforms negative spirit into so-called ocular power. Moreover, according to Mito, your core has a large amount of chakra that does not match the amount of your own cells. According to common sense in the ninja world, if you transform your body into this palm-sized size, your chakra amount will obviously decrease sharply.

Your situation indicates that you have already touched the edge of the door."

Yura didn't mention the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation don't have cells, but they do have unlimited chakra.

To some extent, Momochi's act of solidifying the soul is similar to the Impure World Reincarnation.

"I understand." Bai nodded. Since the theory was feasible, let's try it out in an experiment.
