Chapter 183: That Day, Koji Yamashima Surged to the Top of Konoha!
Training Ground!
After several expansions, the training ground had grown much larger than it was initially. A variety of training equipment had been added, including different types of wooden stakes that could provide detailed data on performance. There were also various standardized weights for strength and endurance training, including the heavy leg bindings used by Rock Lee in the future, which were completely available here.
Though Yae Uchiha didn't have much money, she spared no expense on the laboratory, pouring in as much funding as possible. It's worth noting that Rock Lee's future leg bindings only weighed a few hundred kilograms, and the loud thuds when they were dropped from a height were due to the small surface area.
"Begin!"
Tohei gestured for Koji Yamashima to approach the thick wooden stake.
Boom!
A sound like a main battle tank's cannon firing echoed through the training ground, as if the air itself was being shattered.
As for the wooden stake... it was shattered into pieces.
Koji Yamashima had effortlessly destroyed it, whereas before, the best he could do was break or knock it over.
"Next!"
Tohei remained expressionless.
This wooden stake was just a warm-up, a way to show Koji Yamashima that the power armor was different from his usual training. It wasn't a real test yet.
Next, he approached a wooden post as thick as a person's waist.
Boom!
Another punch shattered it.
The sheer force was terrifying, leaving everyone who watched in awe.
Boom, Boom!
Each punch he delivered made the underground training ground feel like it was being bombarded by heavy artillery.
In the end, it was determined that each punch carried several dozen tons of force, equivalent to Might Guy's Six Gates state.
Don't think it's weak.
Remember, when Might Guy opened the Eighth Gate, he could kick Madara, a Six Paths-level opponent, around like a ball. While the Eighth Gate was ten times stronger than the Seventh and a hundred times stronger than the Sixth, Koji Yamashima's test only measured his raw physical strength, without any chakra enhancement.
In other words, on the battlefield, he could fight from start to finish without tiring.
Regular shinobi would run out of chakra and become weak, unable to sustain prolonged battles. Even with only taijutsu, they couldn't match pure physical strength for long.
Koji Yamashima's terrifying strength came not only from the fact that the people in the shinobi world had more cells than ordinary people from his previous world but also from the 'Divine Ascension Staircase,' which gave him a base strength of several tons. This base strength was amplified by the power armor's 'muscle bundles,' resulting in such a fearsome effect.
He could easily throw large summoned beasts, making him almost superhuman.
In the past, he had to worry about whether his body could handle such force. Now, he didn't need to worry at all.
"Next is agility!"
Standing at the edge of the training ground, Tohei pulled a rope, activating a mechanism.
Whoosh, Whoosh!
A series of shuriken and kunai were launched toward Koji Yamashima, who was at the center.
Koji Yamashima, a future filial son, had played this game during his ANBU training, shocking Orochimaru, who then began to covet the Sharingan.
Koji Yamashima didn't have the Sharingan, but the enhanced neural reflexes provided by the power armor allowed him to move as fast as lightning.
Clang, Clang!
His kunai deflected and dodged the incoming weapons with precision. The sight was somewhat bizarre: a towering, nearly seven-foot-tall white figure moving as nimbly as an ape.
After a minute, the continuous stream of kunai finally stopped, leaving a pile of deflected weapons on the ground around Koji Yamashima.
As each test was completed, Tohei's smile grew wider, and Hyuga Aomine's eyes sparkled with amazement.
Too terrifying!
Even she wouldn't want to face Koji Yamashima in taijutsu while he was wearing the power armor.
Finally, it was time to test his defense, the most fundamental and crucial ability of the power armor.
Shinobi were inherently fragile, capable of devastating attacks but easily killed by a single kunai. With the power armor, however, it was a different story.
Ding, Ding, Ding!
Kunai bounced off the power armor, leaving only shallow marks that quickly disappeared.
Then came a barrage of various ninjutsu attacks.
After a full half-hour of testing, a conclusion was reached.
Apart from piercing techniques, other ninjutsu attacks don't seem to have much effect.
This means that Kakashi's newly developed Chidori is particularly effective against powered armor, provided it can land a hit.
As for flight capabilities?
There's no chance to test them in this underground facility. It's up to Koji Yamashima to find the right opportunity.
"Let's go, we need to eat first!"
Tohei, who had been observing the test, spoke up. He hadn't eaten since the surgery and was indeed hungry.
It would also give the villagers a chance to get used to Koji Yamashima's new appearance.
By the way, the faceplate can be lifted, and there are specific positions to allow for bodily functions, so there's no risk of a person being uncomfortably trapped.
Once he masters the secret techniques exchanged from Jiraiya, the powered armor will be even more effective, and putting it on and taking it off won't be as troublesome.
As they left the underground lab and entered the courtyard, the three of them stopped.
A towering, full-body suit of armor, standing at two and a half meters, stood in the yard.
"Move quickly!"
Tohei called out to Aozuki Hyuga, and they both began to disassemble the armor.
An ordinary person might need tools to take apart such a heavy suit, but as ninjas, the weight was no issue.
Soon, Tohei and Aozuki had disassembled the heavy armor, which had been funded by the Yamashima, Shinokawa, and other small ninja clans, into several parts.
Click, click!
They then began to assemble the parts onto Koji Yamashima's body.
It took a few minutes to get the several-ton armor on him.
Standing at two and a half meters tall, the armor was not only a formidable presence but also a significant psychological deterrent.
"How does it feel?"
Tohei asked curiously. The idea of adding a layer of metal armor over the powered suit was his own suggestion, both for additional camouflage and enhanced defense.
"It's great!"
Koji Yamashima moved his body and didn't feel any discomfort. If it were a normal human body, the armor would be uncomfortable. But as an extension of his body, it was different.
Like how being hit on the head with a heavy object wouldn't hurt your scalp, the armor didn't cause any discomfort.
However, movement was a bit restricted, which was to be expected with such heavy armor.
The armor also had special designs. The faceplate could be lifted, and there was a gap in the back for the backpack, allowing the thrusters to be exposed. It also had ventilation to prevent suffocation.
Wearing the metal armor had an additional effect: it made Koji Yamashima stand out.
As soon as they left the courtyard, they attracted a lot of attention from the Uchiha clan. If not for Tohei's presence, they might have been questioned.
"Is that the Yamashima clan's ninja tool?"
"How strange!"
"Is it not suffocating to be inside that?"
Whispers echoed around them.
After leaving the Uchiha compound, the attention and whispers only increased. Everywhere they went, people stared.
Instantly, Koji Yamashima became a 'top-tier' celebrity in Konoha, his fame soaring.
The three of them arrived at their destination.
[Ichiraku Ramen!]
Behind the shop was a two-story building, and in front was a lantern-hung storefront with a curtain hanging halfway, blocking the view of passersby.
"Old Man Teuchi, twenty bowls of ramen, please?"
Tohei lifted the curtain and called out, as if he were returning home.
The famous Ichiraku Ramen, where even the Otsutsuki would avoid, was a place he knew well.
If it were anyone else, Teuchi would have advised against ordering so much, but he remembered the terrifying appetite of the white-eyed girl beside Tohei, so he didn't hesitate to get to work.
Soon, steaming bowls of ramen were brought out.
The three of them began eating silently.
Koji Yamashima, however, didn't sit on a stool but instead squatted (the armor's special design allowed this position without requiring effort to maintain).
If he were to sit, the stool would likely break.
Slurp!
The fragrant ramen was quickly devoured.
Suddenly, Tohei felt several unusual gazes. He turned to see who was looking and was momentarily stunned.
