Chapter 90: A gentleman can be deceived by tricks

"Beidao, you're back."

Pharmacist Nono opened the door, her eyes slightly red, her face full of worry, but when she saw Ye Cang Pakura behind Li Zhongren, she was stunned, and her worry immediately turned into a smile, but behind this smile there was a hint of hostility.

After all, the person opposite her was a woman with a sexy figure and beautiful face.

"Ah."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"That bastard Tianqi wanted to kill me, but I didn't expect that Master Fengying was here and saved me. He was also impressed by my skills and accepted me as his apprentice."

As he spoke, he shook several books in his hand. These were the collection of the Third Kazekage.

"Next time, don't be so impulsive, okay."

“Some things cannot be compromised.”

Li Zhongren waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue discussing this issue, but pointed at Ye Cang Pakula behind him.

"This is Pakura Yekura. She was the one who escorted me here from the Sand Ninja Village. Now, she has been assigned by Master Kazekage to be my personal guard."

"oh oh."

Hearing this, Yakushi Nono's expression relaxed slightly.

"Please come in."

"Why did Lord Kazekage send someone to protect you?"

"I guess he's afraid that Tianqi will take revenge on me. His mother is Chiyo."

Ye Cang Pakura listened quietly. She did not use any means, but as a special jonin, even if the couple spoke very quietly and even if there were several walls between them, she could still hear each other's words clearly.

"Knowing this, you still dare to look for him?"

"Who made him do such an excessive thing to you? This kind of thing is unforgivable. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Also, I will not sleep with you these few nights. I will hurry up and study the books that Master Fengying gave me to see if I can draw some inspiration from them."

"Humph! Who cares about you? But, did Master Fengying give you any secret puppetry techniques?"

"It's not that simple."

"That's it"

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face? These books are the foundation of puppetry, but they are also the key to unlocking the door to real puppetry. The teacher gave me these books because he really wants to train me, okay?"

"By the way, I heard that the Ye Cang Ninja seemed to have always obeyed Elder Chiyo. How come..."

"Elder Chiyo still obeys the teacher. In the Sand Village, the Kazekage is the most powerful. Okay, go and have a rest."

"Um"

"Hey, didn't you go back to your room?"

On one side of the corridor, Li Zhongren saw Ye Cang Pakula standing there.

"I don't need to. My job is to protect you."

"Ha, so you don't need to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom?"

"If you go to the toilet, my Burning Escape can burn the excrement directly into ashes."

"Oh, well, whatever you want."

Li Zhongren shrugged and took the book to his study.

"You can always sit down."

Looking at Ye Cang Pakula standing at the door, Li Zhongren couldn't help but wave his hand.

"Ah."

This time, Ye Cang Pakula did not refuse.

"and many more!!"

"what happened?"

Ye Cang Pakula was stunned and even went straight into combat mode.

"I mean, don't close the study door."

"Oh."

Looking at the door of the study, Ye Cang Pakula seemed to have thought of something, and finally a hint of expression appeared on his cold face.

Time is passing by every second
Ye Cang was sitting not far from Li Zhongren, quietly watching the man, flipping through books from time to time, and occasionally writing some information from the books on a black diary. The diary was very worn, and there seemed to be some gears as decoration on the outside, and it looked quite old.

The sun set and the moon rose, but he seemed not to notice.

This scene reminded her of her father. He was like this at that time. Unfortunately, he was not reused because his wife came from the Land of Thunder. However, he did not neglect his mother because of this. He treated her well as always.
So, from that time on, I secretly vowed to make a name for myself in the Sand Ninja Village, become a great ninja, and clear the names of my mother and my father!

Therefore, as long as it is a legitimate order from the Sand Ninja high-level, she will execute it unconditionally.
"Creak~Creak~"

Li Zhongren shook his neck and stretched vigorously.

It was already late at night, and before he knew it, he had finished reading one of the three books. In fact, this was still slow. If he used "Teacher Tom's Study Notes" without hesitation, he could finish studying all three books in one night.
Who made the Third Kazekage place a person, Pakura Ye, next to him? It was not only to protect him, but also to monitor him. After all, how could the shadow of a country trust others so easily?

"are you asleep?"

Li Zhongren turned his head and saw that Ye Cang Pakula seemed to have fallen asleep leaning against the wall.
Then, he slowly stood up and walked towards Ye Cang Pakula, passing by Ye Cang Pakula.
After a while, the pharmacist Nono came over with a blanket and gently draped it over Ye Cang Pakula.
"Really? You woke me up just to put on a blanket, you bad guy."

"I'm not afraid that you'll get angry if I cover her with a blanket."

"I'm not that stingy."

"Who was it that saw her standing at the door and immediately became anxious and stared at her breasts?"

"How could I!!! I'll beat you to death!"

"Wrong, wrong. By the way, did you bring the fish bubble?"

"No."

"What about the goat intestines?"

"You're going to die, who would bring something like that?"

"Ah"

With his head down, Ye Cang, who seemed to be fast asleep, raised the corner of his mouth slightly——
"You mean, you've finished reading all the books I gave you?"

Four days later, Li Zhongren found the Third Kazekage Tianshui Yu Lizhan. "Yes, teacher, I have finished reading it."

"Boy, I mean, have you learned it?"

"Yes, I learned it."

"Haha, you little brat, if you tell a lie, you'll get beaten."

Tianshui Yulizhan touched his hedgehog head.

"I'm not lying, sir."

Li Zhongren stood up straight.

"If learning your mass-produced mechanical puppets only allowed me to understand a certain corner of puppetry, after reading the three books you gave me, I was able to truly understand the foundation and development of puppetry from the root, from the very beginning."

"So, what did you gain?"

"Yes, I have a new idea about mass-producing puppets."

"Are you sure? Is it the same level as the two you submitted before, optimization and anti-interference?"

"Yes, but I personally think that it should be better than those two ideas. However, teacher, that is not a brand new idea of ​​mine, but one I had before. However, my foundation was not solid enough at that time, and I could not read those truly valuable books, so it just remained in my imagination. But after I got your book, I was able to turn the idea at that time into reality."

"Teacher, wait a minute, I'm not very good at speaking, so I can't explain it clearly, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, Li Zhongren ran to the pile of tools in the workshop and started tinkering with them.
"seriously"

Tianshui Yu Lizhan looked at Li Zhongren and couldn't help muttering in his heart. He did not expose Li Zhongren's identity as an undercover agent because he had his own purposes. However, this did not mean that he would believe a powerful ninja from another country. That would be no different from a fool. This was also why he only gave him basic books and sent Ye Cang to monitor him.

However, after seeing Li Zhongren so confidently using various tools to modify the puppet, something seemed to have changed in his mind. As a mechanical puppet master, he could clearly see that all the knowledge of mechanical puppetry revealed by this Konoha ninja named "Mitsuha Kotori" came from his own puppets and the three books that directly pointed to the core foundation of mechanical puppetry, without even a little bit of knowledge beyond the scope.

Then, this guy not only optimized the efficiency and stability of his mass-produced puppets, but also seemed to have come up with something that he had never thought of before.
"hiss"

"How about marrying Ye Cang to him? His wife is probably fake anyway, and even if she is real, it doesn't matter. Our country of Sand has its own national conditions. What's wrong with marrying a concubine?"

"Teacher, teacher?"

"Ah? Ah, are you ready?"

"Well, here are the thoughts that came to me after reading the book you gave me."

Li Zhongren pointed to a mechanical device in front of him.

"I call it the differential."

"Differential?"

"Yes, my idea is also based on your genius design, the gearbox. According to my analysis, the reason you developed the gearbox is because the power core of the puppet is fixed. If it is directly involved in power transmission, the efficiency of the power core will be reduced."

"And the gearbox you design is equivalent to separating the part that provides power from the part that transmits power."

"I once saw a swivel chair played by children in the Sand Ninja Village. The adult standing next to it was equivalent to the power core. If he ran while holding on to the swivel chair, it would reduce the efficiency because he himself would be added to the entire power chain."

"But on the contrary, he stood there and kept pushing the swivel chair with his hands, which made the swivel chair rotate faster. I think these two are very similar."

"What the hell?? That swivel chair in the Sand Village Square?"

"Ah."

Tianshui Yu Lizhan couldn't help but blink his eyes. With the Six Paths Sage above him, he really thought of it through that swivel chair, and he had never told anyone about this. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Is this the difference between a true genius and an ordinary genius?

“Then I thought.”

Li Zhongren continued.

"Since we already have a gearbox, then, following it, at the end of the power transmission, can we also add a device to change an important drawback of mass-produced mechanical puppets?"

"What's the disadvantage?"

"That is, the power output of both hands and feet is equal, which will also cause a huge waste of power. For example, when we turn around and punch, our left hand is relaxed. But this is not the case for mass-produced puppets. At any time, its two arms are equivalent."

"If we add a device here, the power will be transmitted here, and it will automatically transmit the power to the required part according to the force situation. Not only can it reduce power consumption, but it can also reduce the control of a chakra thread, because the control itself can be completed by relying on the inertia of the power chain transmission, without the need for external threads to pull. Just like when people walk, they don't swing their hands actively, but naturally due to inertia."

"Of course, this is just a crude device right now, and there are some."

"Lord Fengying, you're looking for me?"

Li Zhongren is still working on his differential in the workshop.

The Third Kazekage quietly arrived and left, and found Ye Cang Pakura.

"Well, Ye Cang, how old are you this year?"

"Sixteen years old."

"You're not young anymore. It's time to get married. What do you think of the Hehuo Beidao?"

"Why don't you speak?"

“He’s very good to his wife.”

"How good is it?"

"Just...very good."

"what"

Tianshui Yu Lizhan shook his head. He had hoped to use Ye Cang to win over Kotori Yu Mitsuha's heart. Since such a talented ninja had come to my Sand Ninja, he should stay with me. However, the little guy's mind was much more delicate than he thought. It was obvious that he deliberately used the strength of a lower ninja to let Ye Cang, who thought he was a special ninja, hear some words, and unknowingly captured the heart of this girl who was determined to clear her mother's name.
"But it's good."

Suddenly, Tianshui Yu Lizhan raised the corner of his mouth. In ancient times, there was a haiku like this: Niu Yin worshipped Guanglu Temple...
The general meaning is that it was an unintentional act, but it actually achieved certain goals.

For example, right now, isn’t this the bond that the people in Konoha always talk about?

Moreover, the information he had investigated about Mitsuha Takanashi all said that this was a decisive but particular young man.

People like this seem to be able to be deceived.
"Is Tianqi still in the detention room?"

"Still."

"Let him out and tell him, just tell him what I said, and tell him to stop being so reckless and impulsive in the future, and to think about his mother first."

"Yes."

Ye Cang Pakura lowered his head and disappeared in front of the Third Kazekage.

"teacher!"

"Hey! Here you come~~"
