Chapter 103 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight

dark night
Somewhere outside the Sand Village
Li Zhongren sat on the sand pile, quietly looking at the moon in the sky
Very round and very big. Very big.
This is because this moon is not that moon.
According to the setting of this world, this is an artificial satellite created by the Six Paths Sage using the Chibaku Tensei, and his mother is sealed inside. Of course, this secret may only be known by Black Zetsu and the Otsutsuki clan guarding the moon.

Its distance is not the same as the moon of the earth, which is 380,000 kilometers away.
However, the original book did not seem to indicate how far it was. Anyway, he could be teleported there through a teleportation array. Unfortunately, he did not remember where the teleportation array was. No, or he did not know it at all. He did not read the original book too carefully. Even with the brain occlusion technique, he could not recall things that he had completely forgotten.

Otherwise, he might really be able to join forces with Minato to find a suitable opportunity to reach the moon and get the huge Rinnegan. In a sense, the ability of that thing is no less than that of the Samsara Eye.

What’s even more interesting is that, perhaps because they have been lonely on the moon for too long, the people guarding that place seem to have some problems with their brains, and for some unknown reason, they started killing each other.

"You're here."

I don’t know how much time had passed, Li Zhongren turned around and looked at the sky not far away.

A figure came closer and closer, but it couldn't be Ye Cang, so who else could it be?
In mid-air, Ye Cang was surrounded by steam, like a ball of blazing flame, but invisible and colorless.
With the help of this airflow, she flew towards me.
The clothes on her body and her yellow-green hair were floating and fluttering.
After a few breaths, her body tilted slightly, and she landed from mid-air not far from Li Zhongren at a moderate speed.

This scene made him feel familiar. If you consider her appearance, she looked a bit like Clark's cousin, except that she lacked a cape.
"Ah."

Ye Cang nodded slightly, looked around, sat down next to Li Zhongren seemingly casually, and looked up at the moon.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

After a moment, she spoke.

Hearing this, Li Zhongren was stunned.

He had heard this before, and he knew what it meant.
After a long while, he sighed secretly, and instead of answering, he asked.

"How's your learning of mechanical puppetry going?"

"It's good. My father's teachings are very useful."

Ye Cang smoothed his hair, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"In a month, I have mastered the puppet action module of the 'Yakura Family Sixty-four Hands' that he has been researching for many years. It is the one I gave you last time. But other than that, I know nothing about other things."

"It's enough."

Li Zhongren took out a notebook from his arms.

"When you get back, memorize what's above and proceed according to the plan."

"This is... eh?"

Ye Cang flipped through the notebook, his face turned red, and even his heart beat a few times.

"Scripts, acting, haha, it's all fake. Everything is for the Sand Village. By the way, is there any action from Chiyo?"

"call"

Ye Cang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"She found Jinchūriki Bonfuku and asked him to use the Yellow Sand Sealing Technique to make a large number of war puppet parts using the yellow sand as raw material. Everything is similar to what the Sandaime said. It should be that they want to use your miniaturized energy storage technology to make super-large puppets."

"So, she has completed her research on electrical energy technology?"

"Ah."

Ye Cang nodded again.

"I can attend the Jonin Council. Although she won't tell me how she did it, she has clearly stated at the last Jonin Council that she has successfully solved the problem of storing large amounts of electrical energy based on the Chiyo clan's living puppet chakra storage technology. In addition, each of the twelve clans can obtain the complete version of the battery manufacturing technology from the Chiyo clan."

"Are you sure?"

"Ah."

"It seems that this old woman is quite courageous. I thought she would sell batteries. Well, that's the abbreviation of this energy storage device. But this is better. I hope she can equip more ninja families. Hehe, okay, you go back, so as not to let them see that we are still enemies before the plan is over."

"I know."

Ye Cang nodded, and the steaming mist filled his body again, and he disappeared silently into the night.——
"Everyone, welcome."

In the evening, the bonfire was burning brightly. After all, the Sand Village was in the desert, and there was a big temperature difference between day and night. The bonfire could not only provide lighting, but also keep warm.

The area around the campfire was filled with people and puppets, all of whom were excitedly discussing something.

Because this is a large-scale technical selection test launched by the Sand Village in response to the increasingly fierce fighting on the front line. The initiator is Ye Cang Pakura. As one of the strongest fighters in the Sand Village, she is qualified to make such a suggestion, and the top leaders of the Sand Village can only agree.

After all, they are in a righteous position, and they just give up some opportunities to oppress the lower classes.

Of course, this meeting actually had another purpose, which was to promote his father's research, the Yecang family's Sixty-Four Hands, a mechanical core that, after installation, would allow the mechanical puppet to use a variety of preset fighting skills, allowing even the Genin who was not proficient in puppet control to be able to use dazzling abilities.

She believed in her father's research and had studied it herself. What she was sure of was that, at least at the Genin stage, this method of pre-setting instructions definitely had more advantages than disadvantages.

In fact, after knowing this, Li Zhongren must have exclaimed, isn’t this just the skill key in the game? Wow, this dad who had no name in the original book created a big one without making any noise.

There is no doubt that such technology is indeed worth promoting and is also suitable as the signature of the Yecang family.

However, after studying puppetry in depth through "Teacher Tom's Learning Notes", he still found a problem: locking.

In the game, there is a lock button. As long as you press the lock button and let the character lock on the enemy, you can close the distance and launch an attack. However, there is no such thing in the real world. The enemy is a moving ninja. If you can't lock on, it will cause great embarrassment. Your puppet will dance on the spot. Even if Yoji Yekura added a setting to cancel the attack, considering that the puppet itself has a delay attribute, this back and forth is a huge loophole.

However, this point was ignored by Yoji Yegura. As he said, this thing of his is a mass-produced puppet for the use of Genin, and it is impossible to be all-encompassing.

But Li Zhongren felt that this was a good opportunity to make Ye Cang famous and win people's hearts, as long as this problem was solved.

Moreover, he has already thought of a solution, a complete set of adaptation technology, which is integrated with Ye Cang Yoji's research. The only problem is that he cannot directly hand this solution to Ye Cang because it will affect his subsequent plans.

So, last night, he reminded Ye Cang that everything had to go according to the plan.

"boom!"

The booth belongs to Yoji Yekura.

A seemingly powerful attack from another mass-produced puppet was dodged by Ye Cang Yoji's puppet with a side step. Then Ye Cang Yoji's puppet turned around and attacked with an elbow. The opponent's puppet barely blocked it, but at some point, a knee strike from the lower body hit the opponent's puppet's power transmission core heavily.
That night, at least ten puppets were taken down by this move. Ye Cang Yoji called it the Seal of the Blue Ape!

Even though the puppets behind him had some defense, they were helpless in the face of this extremely strange close-range action. After all, they were preset values. You had to rely on manual defense. There was a delay in controlling the puppets, and everyone was a Genin, so it was normal that they couldn't react in time.
"Director of Workshop No. 2, long time no see."

Finally, after seemingly watching from a distance for a long time, Li Zhongren came over.

"Hehuo Shell Knife"

Looking at the man in front of him, the smile on Yoji Yekura's face faded a little. After all, although what happened between him and his girl was a confidential matter, what ninjas do is, and this kind of thing had already been secretly spread in the Sand Village.

He Huo Bei Dao's wife died, and he could not forget his late wife. Even if someone like Ye Cang pursued him, he remained unmoved. However, because Chiyo's son's wife seemed like his late wife, he called out her name in his dream, so Ye Cang broke up with him in anger.
The one being laughed at was not He Huo Bei Dao, nor his daughter, nor Shen Yin, but Tian Qi.

However, the one who was hurt the most was his precious daughter.
Now, this guy came over and he was furious.

"So, you also want to experience my research? You didn't bring a puppet. You can try it yourself. Don't worry, I promise I won't kill you."

"., Workshop Manager, you must be kidding. I am not good at fighting. The whole Sand Village knows it."

Li Zhongren shrugged.

"In fact, I found some loopholes in your research, and based on these loopholes, I have some ideas to share with you, just as a way to repay my debt to Ms. Ye Cang."

"I do not need."

At some point, Ye Cang Pakula landed silently behind Li Zhongren.

"Feel sorry."

Li Zhongren turned around.

"You don't need to say sorry."

Ye Cang Pakula recalled the lines that Li Zhongren had designed for him.

"He Huo Bei Dao, since we are meeting here, let's finish what needs to be done and say what needs to be said."

"Ye Cang, I."

"He Huo Bei Dao, it was my luck that I met you at that time. To be honest, I had you in my heart. It's okay for me to tell you this. It's not illegal to like someone, but I can only like her so much. No one can replace her position in your heart, right?"

"I just hope you can give me some time."

"Hehuo Beidao! Life is like chess, never regret your moves."

Ye Cang spoke again.

"Let the past be the past."

"It's not regret, it's just... I missed it."

Hearing this, Li Zhongren sighed.

"Our lives may be like two intersecting lines. We have crossed paths before, but we missed each other in the end. However, as the saying goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. I sincerely hope that you can find your true happiness one day."

After saying that, he took out a notebook and placed it in Ye Cang's hand.

"This is a gift from me to you, as a token of my gratitude for saving my life. From now on, I don't think we will meet again."

"It's a bit embarrassing, but luckily I don't have to make any expression."

With a cold face, Ye Cang looked at Li Zhongren's back and couldn't help but think in his heart.

However, she didn't know where the feeling came from, she seemed to have a feeling that perhaps this was really the last time she would meet him?
Instinctively, she even wanted to chase after him and ask.

But she still held back.

After all, she couldn't ruin it all. Although she still didn't understand, this notebook recorded how to make up for the last loophole in her father's research. So, why didn't she just give it to herself and let herself give it to her father? Why did she have to go through so much trouble and give it to her in public?
