Chapter 390 - Chapter 390 What? Even Puppet Battle Vehicles Have Been Built?

[Your parents, with the Sakumo puppet you gave them, successfully deceive Konoha's Shinobi by disguising it, ambushing and killing many careless Jonin.]

[And the bodies of these Jonin are sealed in scrolls and quickly transported to Sunagakure.]

[However, after news of Sakumo's death reaches Konoha, this method no longer works, but the Sakumo puppet itself is still very powerful.]

[And you, sitting at home, meticulously modify each delivered corpse, striving to one hundred percent preserve their strength.]

[Finally, a year later, you have made dozens of Jonin puppets, and your strength has qualitatively improved.]

[And this time, you finally can no longer suppress your desire to go to the battlefield.]

[Chiyo, seeing the power you display, knows she can no longer stop you this time.]

[Because the strength you now possess is enough to easily annihilate a small country.]

[So, you finally, to your heart's content, drive your puppet battle vehicle to the battlefield.]

[During this year, besides developing puppets, you also found an oil field in the desert.]

[Then, you refine the oil into fuel, allowing your puppet vehicle to gain tremendous power by burning fuel.]

[This gives your puppet battle vehicle not only a huge size but also decent speed.]

[Small and medium-sized puppet vehicles in Sunagakure are also continuously developed and equipped with fuel-burning motors.]

'This has completely changed Sunagakure's ecosystem.'

Takumi shakes his head.

In the vast desert of the Land of Wind, he doesn't believe there are no oil fields.

But the Shinobi World has no need for oil.

Or rather, they haven't developed it yet.

Now, with little Takumi's development, Sunagakure has instantly transformed from a resource-poor land into a rich one.

Although, during wartime, the products refined from these oil fields can only be consumed by Sunagakure itself,

The boost oil fields give to combat power is obvious.

For example, the puppet vehicles Takumi made were originally limited in speed by the puppeteer's control.

Now, equipped with fuel-burning motors, their speed instantly increases.

They can transport supplies to the front lines faster.

Only slower than Kumogakure's Heaven Transfer Technique.

Moreover, with a large amount of oil fuel, Takumi has started developing puppet trains to connect the towns of the entire Land of Wind.

With fuel refined from oil, plus light and sturdy puppet trains, journeys that used to take several days on foot can now be reached in an hour.

This undoubtedly greatly enhances trade between cities.

Merchants of the Land of Wind will definitely welcome this technology.

Because they can deliver their goods to other cities faster, reducing transportation costs and losses.

And to protect their goods on the trains, they will definitely hire more Shinobi for protection.

This is also a huge source of income for Sunagakure.

To protect the trains, eliminating bandits is also an inevitable trend.

[You don't rashly charge onto the battlefield. Although Sunagakure currently has the advantage, you also need to ensure your own absolute safety.]

[You observe from the rear lines for a few days. Every few days, Shinobi from other villages attack, but they are all defended by the rear-line forces.]

[Occasionally, when a difficult enemy appears, you, hidden in the shadows, also eliminate the attackers and conveniently turn the powerful ones into puppets.]

[After a few days, you finally can no longer restrain yourself and drive your puppet battle vehicle to the front line.]

[On the front line, once battle is joined, thousands of Shinobi fight each other. Every day, a large number of Shinobi die, and a large number are replenished from the rear.]

[Once losses exceed a certain limit, both sides retreat, like wounded animals licking their wounds.]

[Just at this moment, a large number of Shinobi are engaged in battle here.]

[Konoha's Shinobi, Iwagakure's Shinobi, Amegakure's Shinobi, Sunagakure's Shinobi, are all fighting each other on this plain like a meat grinder.]

[Just then, accompanied by a rumbling roar, a huge battle vehicle tens of meters long charges onto the plain.]

[The vehicle's speed is incredibly fast. Shinobi unable to dodge in time are crushed under its huge tracks.]

'Truly a war machine.'

Takumi waits for the good show to follow.

After all, it's a battle vehicle carefully prepared by little Takumi; it's definitely not just here to run over a few people.

The weapons he carefully prepared on the vehicle are the real main act.

[The vehicle charges to the center of the battlefield, then abruptly stops.]

[Members of the Puppet Brigade immediately recognize the materials used to make the vehicle and guess your identity.]

[Because you once appeared in Sunagakure controlling a super-large puppet, and they have all heard rumors.]

[And being able to make this kind of puppet they cannot understand, in their knowledge, only you could do it.]

[The other villages have never seen anything like a puppet battle vehicle.]

[Hesitant and uncertain, they dare not approach rashly and instead probe with long-range Ninjutsu.]

[These low-level Ninjutsu leave not a single mark on your specially made puppet battle vehicle.]

[Not only that, but over a dozen dark holes also appear on the vehicle, from which black cannon muzzles extend.]

["Gentlemen, the times have changed!" You show an excited smile and fire the artillery shells without hesitation.]

[The Sunagakure's Shinobi, upon seeing the vehicle, quickly retreat to get far away from you, not approach your position.]

[Although their retreat prompts some clever Shinobi from other villages to also retreat, most of them cannot escape your attack range.]

[Boom boom boom — continuous explosions roar across the entire battlefield.]

[The Shinobi, completely unaware of artillery, are utterly defeated without any resistance.]

[The booming lasts a full five minutes until you have fired all the shells inside the puppet vehicle, stopping this crazy act.]

[After the booming, the entire battlefield falls into dead silence.]

'The times have changed, but not completely changed.'

Takumi shakes his head. 'The power of artillery is okay for eliminating the weak, but poses no threat to top-level powerful individuals.'

'However, with those Jonin puppets, dealing with those powerful individuals is not impossible.'

But even so, this artillery feast is enough to shock all the Shinobi present.

["Orochimaru-sama! The losses are too heavy!" The surviving Shinobi return to report, their eyes full of fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.]

["Damn it!" Orochimaru grits his teeth. Having just recently become the overall commander, he didn't expect to encounter such a sudden turn of events.]

["With this kind of power, he must be eliminated as soon as possible!" Hanzo immediately senses the threat you pose and directly rides his summoned beast, the salamander, charging over.]

["Retreat!" Kitsuchi panics, not expecting such heavy losses, only thinking about cutting his losses quickly.]

[On the now pockmarked plain, you see Hanzo rapidly charging towards you in the distance.]

[Although Hanzo's poison is threatening, you are not afraid.]

[You open the compartment of the puppet vehicle and control over a hundred puppets to charge out.]

["What?!" Hanzo didn't expect over a hundred puppets to charge at him. His eyes widen in surprise.]

[He has never encountered a puppeteer capable of controlling over a hundred puppets, and his sharp eyes also find familiar faces among them.]

[An ominous premonition arises in Hanzo's heart.]

[However, upon engaging, he immediately finds his ominous premonition becoming reality.]

[These puppets all retain their strength from life, and as puppets, they are no longer afraid of Hanzo's poison.]

[Over a hundred puppets surround Hanzo, and the salamander beneath him, after being severely injured, disappears in a puff of white smoke.]
