[Temari is shocked by your strength and begins to pay more attention to you. Your relationship starts to slowly improve from a cold war and gradually heats up day by day.]
[Because of Temari's special status, she is not a Konoha-nin and is considered a civilian in Konoha. So you take Temari and Karin directly to the Land of Waves, letting them familiarize themselves with the affairs in Haku's hands and take over everything.]
[Haku and Zabuza have no objection to this, because you decided to take them to Kirigakure for revenge afterward. You take Haku and Zabuza to Kirigakure, intervene in the process of Yagura's rampage, and gain the friendship of Kirigakure and Mei Terumī.]
Seeing this, Ryun nodded.
The specific process had been successfully worked out up to this point. As for the specific results, Ryun didn't really care this time.
After all, he didn't even have the pheromones of Karin, Temari, Tsunade, and Mei Terumī yet.
Next, it should be time to research ninja tools and look for the Six Paths Tools, right?
In this simulation, Ryun didn't intend to research anything in particular. He would just continue to increase his proficiency in the Flying Thunder God, the True Spirit Seal, and the Formless Wave.
Because Tenten had failed to bear him children twice before, this time Ryun would focus on her, ensuring this simulation was foolproof.
[Next, Sasuke defects, and Naruto and Jiraiya leave for training. Gaara and Rasa fall into a repetitive cycle of conflict. At Temari's request, you help Gaara and finally subdue Rasa. Gaara becomes the Kazekage half a year later than in the original timeline.]
[Mei Terumī successfully takes power in Kirigakure and signs a foreign trade transport agreement with your Land of Waves Shipping Company. Your company basically takes over the maritime business between several countries, and you make a fortune.]
[Many people set their sights on this piece of fat in the Land of Waves, but all of this dissipates after Gaara, Mei Terumī, and Tsunade successively visit the Land of Waves. Everyone thinks the Land of Waves is a joint venture by the three great nations, unaware that you are the real boss behind it.]
[At this point, you have basically fulfilled your promise to Tazuna, building the Land of Waves into a nation with hope. You have also successfully established yourself in the Land of Waves, with over three hundred ninjas under your command, including several jōnin.]
Seeing this, Ryun's eyes lit up.
It was actually this smooth!
His investment project with the Land of Fire's daimyō hadn't even started yet, and the Land of Waves was already on its feet.
It seemed interfering with Kirigakure was even more correct than he had imagined. He had正好 caught the wave of Kirigakure's reopening to the outside world and thus became an old friend of the Land of Water.
Coupled with the fact that Ryun harbored no ill intentions towards those in power in the Land of Water, they were naturally happy to let him make money.
However, Ryun would still continue to promote the transformation of the Land of Waves, because everything he did was to gain more simulation attempts.
As for wealth and such, they were merely tools.
[In Konoha year 65, you design and build a ninja tool factory, a pharmaceutical factory, and a medical ninjutsu research institute in the Land of Waves. While acting as the leader, you also gather many talented orphans as apprentices.]
[You secure a total investment of 100 billion ryō from the Land of Fire's daimyō and the capital. This enormous sum of money instantly turns the Land of Waves into a fragrant cake in the ninja world, and countless people come seeking opportunities. You, however, shift your focus to finding the Six Paths Tools for Tenten. These tools are not so easy to obtain.]
[Through continuous probing, you eventually learn that most of the Six Paths Tools are stored within Kumogakure. Obtaining these things from Kumogakure is no easy task. Even with your Flying Thunder God, you must leave a mark there first; you can't just appear anywhere at will like Obito.]
[But you are not in a hurry. You continuously place Flying Thunder God marks within Kumogakure, slowly waiting for an opportunity. When there is no opportunity, you take Tenten to the Land of Waves to research tool manufacturing and gift the entire ninja tool factory and design institute to Tenten.]
A smirk tugged at the corner of Ryun's mouth. It felt a bit like being a domineering CEO.
But, Tenten probably liked it, right?
After all, this was a ninja tool factory. Wasn't it much more impressive than Tenten's ninja tool shop?
The facts were exactly as Ryun had anticipated.
[Tenten absolutely loves the gift you gave her. In her spare time between missions, she often comes to the Land of Waves to participate in the design and production of ninja tools. Tenten's family also begins to grow in scale thanks to your support. Although they still mainly sell ninja tools, they are now a visibly rising new family in Konoha.]
[Around this time, you consciously start creating chaos within the territory of Kumogakure. To this end, you clash multiple times with the Fourth Raikage, A, as well as the Eight-Tails jinchūriki, Killer B, and the Two-Tails jinchūriki, Yūgito Nii.]
[Unwilling to reveal your identity, you are unable to defeat them. However, they are equally unable to defeat you, who uses jutsu like a barrage cannon. Gradually, your mysterious reputation begins to spread throughout the ninja world.]
[But they don't realize you are after the Six Paths Tools. In Konoha year 66, when the Fourth Raikage, A, has finally had enough and sends a large force to hunt you down, you make your move. Following the intelligence you gathered earlier, you plunder all the Six Paths Tools from Kumogakure.]
[During this process, you also discover the Chakra Cannon secretly researched by Kumogakure. Unfortunately, the Chakra Cannon's research isn't complete yet, so you have to give up on the idea of taking the cannon as well.]
Seeing this, Ryun's eyes lit up.
No, don't give up!
Even if the research isn't complete, he could still take it back as a sample, couldn't he!
Ryun quickly chose to provide guidance.
[Upon learning of the disappearance of the Six Paths Tools, the Fourth Raikage, A, flies into a rage. He has your likeness drawn up and places a bounty on you throughout the entire ninja world. However, you had transformed into the appearance of a muscular man. Anyone searching for you based on that description would only end up finding Kakuzu.]
[And while Kumogakure is busy sending ninja everywhere to search, you strike again and pack up the Chakra Cannon they were researching, along with all the research materials. This time, the Fourth Raikage is completely furious, threatening to wage war on the entire ninja world.]
[But you remain unmoved, because you know that even Ōnoki must be laughing at the Fourth Raikage, A, right now and would certainly never ally with him. The facts are just as you predicted. The Fourth Raikage, A's, rage and military exercises last for a year, but he is never able to actually commit his forces.]
[And around this time, you and Tenten have already begun analyzing the Chakra Cannon. You regretfully discover that the Chakra Cannon is still in the prototype design phase, not even at the stage where a test fire is possible. It's only then you remember that it's still at least five or six years away from being successfully developed. You have no choice but to put it aside for now.]
Seeing this, Ryun shook his head regretfully.
He wasn't a genius at researching ninja tools. If he put his energy into it, he could probably figure it out, but did this thing really hold such great significance for him?
While its power could indeed shatter the moon in one shot, that was something for six years later.
If Ryun still didn't have that level of combat power by the time of the Ninja War, he probably wouldn't even survive that war itself.
However, in the future, he could consider stealing the cannon back near the end of a simulation, then slowly supplement the research data. Maybe he could even get this thing set up ahead of schedule.
As for copyright issues, of course, whoever gets it out first is the original!
[Unexpectedly for you, Tenten throws herself into the cannon with tremendous enthusiasm. It seems Tenten acknowledges the Chakra Cannon as a type of ninja tool. As for the Six Paths Tools you worked so hard to retrieve, although Tenten also treasures them as her most precious possessions, her chakra reserves are insufficient to use them properly. They end up being just display pieces.]
[You have no choice but to invest some energy into them as well, beginning to understand their principles and construction. Then you are astonished to discover that the Chakra Cannon is a machine that appears crude on the surface but is actually extremely precise. It attempts to use a quantitative and qualitative method to perform both nature transformation and shape transformation on chakra.]
[This ultimately results in the creation of an artificial, powerful Tailed Beast Ball, which is what grants it the effect of nearly destroying the moon in a single blow. The era of scientific ninja tools had already begun at this point and would become an unstoppable trend.]
Seeing this, a look of surprise appeared on Ryun's face. He had always known that the Fourth Raikage, A, was no simpleton, but he hadn't expected him to be this formidable.
Strong in combat, strong in leadership, and even leading the era in scientific research.
It was just a pity he had gone down the wrong path, focusing on developing something like the Chakra Cannon.
If everyone had a chakra gun capable of firing small Tailed Beast Balls, there probably wouldn't be many people in the ninja world who could stand against Kumogakure.
The only issue was that after the Fourth Great Ninja War, the underlying theme of the ninja world was accumulating strength to confront the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Faced with the two great gods, Naruto and Sasuke, A could only voluntarily set aside his ambitions and retire to live out his days.
However, Ryun could consider bringing this thing to light ahead of schedule.
Tenten loved ninja tools, and the Chakra Cannon would be her signature tool!
