Chapter 930: Raptor Fighter Jet?
Chapter 930: Raptor Fighter Jet?
A sleek and formidable fighter jet appeared before them, its design reminiscent of a raptor soaring through the skies.
Its main weapon was a roaring electromagnetic cannon, and numerous lance-like objects were mounted on its underbelly.
The jet's body shimmered with a silver hue, its material a blend of fine steel, Fusang tree branches, chakra metal, and ninja beast bones, forming an ultra-metal alloy.
Due to the complexity of production, it was impractical for use on aircraft carriers and could only be utilized on fighter jets.
Compared to the 'pseudo-puppets' of aircraft carriers, these jets were the true puppets.
They could be seamlessly controlled by puppet masters using chakra threads, achieving a perfect man-machine integration.
Without exaggeration, this jet was a masterpiece that combined science and ninjutsu.
Chiyo and Sasori were currently overseeing a group of busy puppet masters in front of the jet, so engrossed that even Tang Ping and Temari's arrival didn't distract them.
This was because they were ninjas, not bureaucrats concerned with formalities.
Tang Ping didn't interrupt them either; instead, he approached a jet with a design reminiscent of a pre-transmigration masterpiece that had dominated the skies for decades.
Hmm, Tang Ping didn't continue using incomprehensible terms like 'AT Force Field' for its name. Instead, he gave it the title 'Raptor.'
The name was fitting, as fighter jets were destined to rule the skies like raptors.
This jet had several distinctive features.
First was its control system.
Man-machine integration! The puppet masters could control it effortlessly.
Any aerial maneuver could be executed with ease, and minimal training was required.
Next was its speed.
This was its greatest advantage.
In terms of firepower and defense, the jet didn't have a significant edge over the flight squadrons, especially the Wind Style ninjas.
But in speed, the fighter jet truly excelled with an overwhelming advantage.
Mach 5! Yes, the jet's speed was astonishing.
What did Mach speed represent?
It meant a velocity of 340 meters per second.
And Mach 5 meant a speed of 1700 meters per second.
At this velocity, ninjutsu could never catch up, let alone thrown ninja tools.
Even the legendary Minato Namikaze, known for his speed, couldn't match this velocity.
His Flying Thunder God technique relied on shuriken movement, but even they couldn't break the sound barrier, let alone keep up with Mach 5.
Additionally, there was no concern about finding suitable 'pilots.'
Any qualified puppet master could meet the piloting requirements.
Aside from the option of implanting a second heart to enhance physical abilities, even the original base qualities, when enhanced by chakra, were sufficient for control.
With puppet masters at the helm of these 'Raptor' fighter jets, their full potential could be unleashed.
Furthermore, after studying Orochimaru's research, Tang Ping made advancements in Sound Style techniques and applied them to the jets.
Once the jets surpassed the speed of sound, they could generate invisible high-frequency sound blades on their wings, capable of slicing through steel effortlessly.
This was the jet's ultimate technique.
For energy, the jets utilized 'miniature' Kurobou power sources.
A full-sized Kurobou could power a ground-effect vehicle weighing tens of thousands of tons for over half a year, but the jets required a much smaller scale. Thus, they used a micro-scaled Kurobou, one-thousandth the size of the original.
Each miniature Kurobou could power a jet for an entire month.
As for maintenance and repairs?
Hmm, in the pre-transmigration world, it was incredibly complex.
But for puppet masters, it was a matter of minutes to identify all issues, and repairs and maintenance could be swiftly completed using puppet techniques.
It was simply a matter of the ninja world lacking advanced industrial capabilities, so Tang Ping opted for ninjutsu solutions.
The results were unbeatable.
However, such a powerful trump card couldn't be revealed prematurely.
If the major ninja villages discovered it, they would undoubtedly copy it without hesitation, so Tang Ping ensured utmost secrecy.
Even within the Sunagakure Village, only the core members knew about the fighter jets. The general upper echelons might be aware of an important project underway but remained unaware of its nature.
At this moment, Chiyo and Sasori arrived to report to Tang Ping.
The task assigned by Tang Ping was of utmost importance to both of them.
As such, Chiyo and Sasori dedicated their energy and time, not only completing the aircraft ahead of schedule but also finding the time to develop an aircraft carrier.
After listening to the report, Tang Ping's mind was filled with a single thought.
He eagerly anticipated the moment when these super war machines would make their debut in the Shinobi World War and imagined the expressions on the faces of the leaders of the various ninja villages.
They would surely understand one thing.
Knowledge is power!
In the world he came from, this was just a figure of speech.
Because there, knowledge required vast manpower and resources to be transformed into power.
But in the Shinobi World, one could single-handedly change the world.
After witnessing the launch of the aircraft carrier and the near-completion of the fighters, Tang Ping saw no need to inspect the bombers.
They were of little technical sophistication, merely a downgraded version of the fighters.
With this ace up their sleeve, the Scorch Sun Nation was fully prepared for war, awaiting only the opportune moment to strike.
During this time, Tang Ping also received another piece of information through his inside sources.
"The Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, Killer B, has returned to Kumogakure, but he's being kept hidden, and the Nine-Tails is also being concealed."
Hmm, Tang Ping didn't need to investigate further to understand that this was a measure to protect the two Jinchuriki and, in the process, cultivate the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki into a perfect Jinchuriki.
Narrative Inertia!
One could also say it was a destined event.
Because Akatsuki was now the enemy of the entire Shinobi World, not just Konoha's enemy, but also Kumogakure's. Therefore, to strengthen their own power, the Raikage had no choice but to make this decision.
Even without Akatsuki, the Scorch Sun Nation still posed a threat, so it wasn't surprising that the Raikage made this decision.
Currently, the Raikage was even more concerned about Konoha than they were, because if Konoha couldn't hold them off, Kumogakure wouldn't be able to escape either.
Compared to Akatsuki, the Five Great Shinobi Villages formed the Allied Shinobi Forces primarily to guard against the Scorch Sun Nation.
Akatsuki was merely a small mercenary organization, but the Scorch Sun Nation was an incredibly powerful force, and their threats to the Five Great Shinobi Villages were not the same.
It was at this time.
Grass Country!
In the underground space where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path of Akatsuki was located, another meeting was held.
In the pitch-black cave, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, with its nine open eyes, was a chilling sight, as if brimming with endless evil.
Unfortunately, to revive the Ten-Tails, they needed the Rinnegan.
So, during this time, Akatsuki focused all their efforts on Konoha but to no avail.
Information about the Rinnegan was scarce, and even if they wanted to gather intelligence, they couldn't.
"The Five Great Shinobi Villages have formed an alliance, and as long as we can deal enough damage to them, we'll definitely force the Rinnegan out!"
A single Sharingan, crimson as fresh blood, flickered, and the White Eye Wolf who called himself 'Uchiha Madara', or Tobi, spoke up.
Yes, declaring war on the Shinobi Alliance was not only to weaken them but also to force out the Rinnegan.
"But our strength is not enough to confront the alliance!"
Konan spoke up.
As a former leader of the faction, she was known for her rebellious nature.
Her words made sense, so everyone else turned their attention to Tobi.
"I have a force in my hands that will definitely give the alliance a surprise!"
Tobi's confident voice echoed.
The White Absolute Army!
Created by Obito using Hashirama's cells and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, their numbers had reached a staggering amount.
Ten thousand!
A full ten thousand White Absolutes.
However, this quantity-focused White Absolute Army had mediocre combat strength.
Their power was on par with Genin!
Only special individuals could surpass the Genin level.
Unfortunately, Tobi was unaware of one thing.
These White Absolutes had already caught someone's attention.
Tang Ping had long been eyeing the White Absolute Army.
It's just that no one else knew about it yet.
