Chapter 157: Development of Detonating Talisman

In the Land of Mountains, in an empty pit with a charred ground.

People were carrying wood in the dark, hammers clanging as they built houses.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

A boy wearing a Kagerou forehead protector choked on a mouthful of ash, put down his hammer, scratched his limp blond hair, and sighed, "Alas, why did I finally become a ninja, but I still have to do carpentry work here like before."

Before, when Kagerou and Konoha were fighting each other and the situation was tense, he had not yet become a ninja. Now he has finally passed the exam but has to sign a truce.

"Humph." As if thinking of something, the blond boy said angrily, "It's all because Konoha is too despicable."

Kagerou took advantage of the absence of the main force of Kagerou Village and led by Jiraiya to launch a surprise attack on them, which laid the foundation for Konoha's victory.

"Work hard, little Xuanzi, stop talking nonsense."

A head popped out of the wooden house, and the middle-aged man teased: "Xuan Weng is too spoiled with you. He is at least one of the few mechanical masters in the village, but you, his son, haven't learned even half of his father's skills."

Hearing this, Xuanzi also remembered his father who was still on a mission outside and knew nothing about Yangyan's current situation, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

In the third month of being attacked by Konoha, Yangyan Village was forced to sign a truce with Konoha. This was originally just a delaying tactic. Yangyan Village originally planned to launch a counterattack before the truce.

The core of this counterattack plan is Xuan Weng, a mechanical master.

He was sent to infiltrate Konoha and bury detonating talismans in Konoha. When he received the signal from Yangyan Village, he would detonate the detonating talismans, and the main force of Yangyan Village would attack Konoha at that time.

Now, two and a half months have passed since Xuan Weng sneaked into Konoha.

Based on Xuanzi's understanding of his father, he was afraid that the other party had completed the task and was just waiting for the main force to attack Konoha.

However, the leader of Kagero Village who advocated fighting to the end died unexpectedly not long ago.

He was angry to death.

To be precise, he was already sick because of the sudden attack by Konoha and the serious damage to the village. Then his wife and children were dismembered by Takigakure, and he vomited blood and died of anger.

The person who succeeded the leader of Kagero Village decided to sign a ceasefire agreement with Konoha and never assigned Xuanweng any tasks.

"What on earth was that Master Buzhou thinking?" Xuanzi murmured in a confused expression.

He liked playing treasure hunting games with his father since he was a child. He always felt that life was to be taken, not to get married, have children, and then go to the grave step by step.

He is a man full of courage and initiative, but now he has become a ninja and has to compromise and surrender when facing the enemy. This future makes him feel depressed.

Moreover, his father has not come back yet.

It has been decided to sign a ceasefire agreement, so why hasn't his father come back yet?

————————

At the same time, inside the wall of the Yangyan Village settlement.

This place has been completely hollowed out and hidden hundreds of meters deep in the mountains.

And a young man in a brown long coat walked in and went straight into the deepest part of the mountain.

The man just walked out of the passage, but before he had time to breathe the fresh filtered air, two people came to him.

"I thought it was someone else, isn't this the leader?"

The middle-aged man in an explosion-proof suit greeted calmly: "How come you have time to come to such a dark place like ours today?"

Although his tone was very flat, he could hear a joke.

"Hey, be polite to Lord Buzhou."

Before the young man called "Buzhou" could say anything, another relatively short old man kindly dissuaded him, then held Buzhou's hands with both hands and shook them, saying: "Welcome to the inspection, Lord Buzhou!"

Buzhou was caught off guard, and the words on his lips were choked down, and he felt a little surprised in his heart.

This kind of enthusiasm is no different from a woman standing on the street soliciting customers in a red-light district, but these hot-tempered researchers have always looked down on him as a dove. Why is there such a warm atmosphere and attitude today?

"Lord Leyou, you are too polite."

Unable to figure it out, Buzhou could only smile bitterly and shook his head, explaining in a good voice: "I just heard that your research has made new progress, so I suddenly had the urge to come and take a look."

"Excuse me, is it convenient? If not, I..."

Although I have never been to the research base before, I grew up in Yangyan Village. After being influenced by various rumors, I naturally know how dangerous this place is.

At least judging by the explosions that roared throughout the village several times at night, and the slight tremors that occurred from time to time.

However, he had to come to the research base to take a look after being forced to become the leader.

"Of course! Of course it's convenient!"

Leyou blinked and pulled him with a smile: "Come on! Come this way, come this way!"

Buzhou was almost half-pulled and half-dragged by him to a door before stopping.

"Master Buzhou, please come in."

Le You opened the door for him and smiled sideways, "It may be a little cold, please don't mind."

Bu Zhou shook his head and walked in, and saw that the white room was empty, without any complicated equipment.

There was only a compartment with double-sided glass, and several men wearing explosion-proof suits and goggles frowned at the things inside through the glass.

"We have developed a more efficient method to make detonating talismans, shortening the long process of the original construction technique to a few hours."

Le You came to his side and introduced it, but only got Bu Zhou's long silence. He looked at the space on the other side through the double-sided glass, and the blank special talisman paper was placed on the stone platform.

What's the use of being fast?

No matter how fast it is, it's useless.

Still can only be controlled by the big country.

A speck of dust on the battlefield of the big country, falling on the head of the small country, is a mountain...

"Want to see the test?" Le You asked suddenly.

Bu Zhou took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment, and tilted his head slightly to ask: "Do I need to wear an explosion-proof suit?"

"Don't worry, this test is very safe."

Le You patted his shoulder very straightforwardly, then looked at the people next to him and waved his hand: "Start the first test."

The first time?

Upon hearing this, Bu Zhou was stunned for a moment.

The researcher next to him had already grasped the metal that conducted chakra, and black lines gradually appeared on the special talisman paper.

Bu Zhou, who felt more and more wrong, looked around the room and found that the walls, ceiling, and floor were all pure white metal plates, and their hardness and pressure resistance should be first-class.

Turning his head and looking at the glass again, he inexplicably had a thought.

Could this double-sided glass be explosion-proof?

The next moment the thought came to his mind, the detonating talisman placed on the stone platform suddenly glowed with a faint red light.

Beep beep! !

The dashboard also flashed red and issued a piercing alarm. Bu Zhou noticed this abnormality at the first time and subconsciously turned his head to Le You and others beside him.

It turned out that this group of people were very familiar with each other and lay down at the same time!

"You..." Bu Zhou's eyes twitched and he was about to say something.

Boom! !
