Before returning home, Hakushi first went to the military district's base exercise ground.
A soldier was aboard the flying ninja tool, soaring through the sky, emitting a vibrating noise in the air.
In the center of the exercise ground, there were targets placed every ten meters.
The flying ninja streaked through the sky, directly triggering the ammo compartment on the flying ninja tool, and silver-white metal balls swiftly launched down from high altitude, accurately hitting the targets in the center of the exercise ground.
Boom boom boom boom!
The continuous sound of explosions made people's ears buzz.
The fiery bursts illuminated people's faces.
Surpassing the power of explosive tags, after these metal balls exploded, the target-holding area of the exercise ground was completely overturned, presenting large craters all over the field, rendering the ground essentially unusable before repairs.
"Can the power of the metal bomb be further enhanced?"
After watching, Hakushi asked Dr. Kataki beside him.
The other party was an advanced research personnel of the Land of Demons military, specializing in military industry, and had developed many advanced weapons and equipment for the Land of Demons over the years.
After watching the flying ninja's performance, Hakushi was still a bit dissatisfied with the power of the aerial metal bombs.
"Of course, it can still be improved."
Dr. Kataki nodded without hesitation.
This was originally a trial product, and having a complete prototype to improve upon is undoubtedly much simpler.
"However, this requires an update of the system equipment for the Chakra compressor. Sooner or later, we might be able to produce super bombs comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball."
Dr. Kataki said confidently.
Imagining such a scene, Dr. Kataki couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.
"I will have other departments cooperate with your research."
Compared to the still-expectant Dr. Kataki, Hakushi understood the potential horrors that science could create in the future.
Not just the Tailed Beast Ball, but bombs even more terrifying in power can also be manufactured.
However, it's too early to talk about this now.
The technology of the Land of Demons has not yet reached the level of manufacturing nuclear bombs; aiming for the Tailed Beast Ball as a target is not a bad strategy.
"It's unfortunate that there is currently no war in the Land of Demons; we don't know whether these metal bombs can provide suppressive power when used on the battlefield."
Lack of comparative reference.
This is the nature of military weapons.
Data analysis, in the end, is just paper work.
Whether the product is satisfactory requires market feedback and user experience.
Conversely, currently, the Land of Demons does not need a war to boost its reputation, so it won't deploy these weapons to the battlefield yet.
Despite Dr. Kataki's confidence in the weapons he developed, they inevitably lack necessary 'advertisement'.
An exercise isn't real combat; these weapons need an opponent.
Hakushi understood this too, although during the Land of Wind war, the Land of Demons also used long-range artillery and other modern firearms, its lethality wasn't optimistic against the highly mobile ninja.
Conversely, the air force's suppressive power against ground troops was very effective.
Of course, this might have been because there were insufficient artillery brought to the Land of Wind; the firepower coverage was not comprehensive.
At that time, they only wanted to test the effectiveness of these equipments; the hope for victory wasn't placed on these unformed firearms.
"Land of Rain."
Hakushi mentioned this country.
"Land of Rain?"
Dr. Kataki tilted his head.
"Sell this batch of bombs, along with the flying ninja tools, at a high price to the Land of Rain; let them fight the Land of Fire, and their war will give us the answers."
The advantages and disadvantages of dealing with ninja, the areas requiring improvement, nothing is more suitable than war to provide answers.
Currently, the Land of Demons cannot directly participate in the Land of Rain's war, nor can it intervene; if it does, Konoha Village won't remain inactive.
The ones now operating in the Land of Rain are ninjas from the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Fire, with Root just hidden in the backdrop, not stepping forward.
The Land of Demons cannot disrupt this balance, so dispatching the Land of Rain's troops serves only as intimidation, not actual involvement.
Even if the Land of Demons wanted to, Nagato probably wouldn't allow it.
Because if war erupted between the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire, the battlefield could likely be the Land of Rain.
That wouldn't be a simple skirmish but a confrontation that might turn the Land of Rain into a desolate wasteland.
Unable to participate in the war but wanting to test these new bombs in actual combat, we can only sell them to the Land of Rain and use their war to feedback the weapon's performance.
Dr. Kataki quickly understood this logic.
Major countries are chess players, minor countries are pawns.
The current weak Land of Rain can only face the fate of being a pawn.
And Hakushi, after all, is part of the upper echelon of the Land of Demons.
In situations within capability, they naturally don't mind assisting other small countries, but once the issue involves the interests of their own country, they will fight without concession.
Fortunately, the performance of these weapons won't require the blood of their own people for validation.
After all, arms trade is the most profitable industry in this world.
Compared to shady paths like vice, dealing directly in arms sales under the name of the nation is the true way to wealth.
