'Exactly, just as I thought!'
A smile curled on Takumi's lips.
Little Takumi's thoughts were exactly the same as his.
He really did make it.
Although it was relatively small, just over two meters tall.
But Takumi believed that sooner or later, a behemoth comparable to Susano'o would appear.
If puppetry really developed to that level, the wars of the Shinobi World would also undergo tremendous changes.
[The puppet you made is over two meters tall, with a large space inside its body, and various weapons hidden in its limbs and head.]
[What surprises Chiyo the most is the space inside the body.]
[Because inside, there is a seat, perfectly sized for you to sit in. With the puppeteer protected inside the puppet, even if an enemy gets close, you can rely on the puppet's defense to avoid a fatal blow.]
[Moreover, you can also control other puppets from inside this one to fight. This type of puppet is more about protecting the puppeteer themselves.]
["You're a genius!" Chiyo is overjoyed. She feels that this type of puppetry needs to be promoted throughout the entire puppeteer community of Sunagakure.]
[Once this kind of puppet becomes widespread and can be skillfully operated, it will greatly reduce casualties among puppeteers.]
[It will also give puppeteers stronger close-combat capabilities.]
[You, however, can't wait to control the first puppet you made.]
[Because you still can't refine Chakra yet, you also cannot create Chakra Threads to control the puppet.]
[So you specially created a mechanical control method.]
[Although movement is slow, watching the puppet move under your control fills your heart with immense satisfaction.]
[But after satisfaction comes an even greater emptiness.]
["One day, I will build a Gundam!" You make this vow, and then can't wait to start searching for materials with even stronger defense to build puppets.]
'Gundam, the romance of men!''
A look of reverence also appeared in Takumi's eyes.
Although he could already use Susano'o, which is similar to a Gundam,
If he could control a giant robot, what man would refuse?
Anyway, Takumi absolutely could not refuse.
Even if Susano'o's power is stronger, it's still a Gundam!
[Your first choices are various world-famous top-grade woods. After multiple screenings, you finally create a material that is tougher than steel but extremely light in weight to make puppets.]
[So you immediately begin production without stopping.]
[With Chiyo's help, you spend three months creating puppets for your parents to use.]
[The three-meter-tall giant puppets seem bulky, but because the material is extremely light, they are actually faster.]
[And their excellent defensive power satisfies everyone.]
[The Third Kazekage personally commends you for your contribution. At such a young age, you become a household name genius throughout Sunagakure.]
'Geniuses always attract attention.'
'Especially in a place like Sunagakure, where talent is scarce, the importance of a genius can receive the respect it deserves.'
'At least unlike Konoha, where there are too many geniuses, to the point where they are easily consumed.'
'Whether it was Konoha's White Fang, or the Yellow Flash, etc.'
'With all of Konoha's strength, how difficult is it to protect a single pregnant woman?'
'One can only say that Konoha's power structure is complex and intertwined, and it is controlled by a group of cancers.'
'Those who deserve to die haven't died, while those who shouldn't have died have died one by one.'
Thinking of those who didn't die on the battlefield but inexplicably died within the village, Takumi couldn't help but sigh.
It could be said that people like Hiruzen and Danzo had lived for too long,
Making the great tree of Konoha become decrepit.
Danzo's Root, in order to maintain Root's existence, did not hesitate to sacrifice the vitality of the tree trunk.
Hiruzen's various compromises also made the conflicts within the village increasingly intense.
Ultimately, this led to Konoha's current situation.
But even at this point,
Konoha was still a behemoth.
The Sannin of the older generation, Kakashi and Guy of the middle generation, and Naruto and Sasuke of the new generation, etc.
Placed in other villages, they would all be pivotal figures.
It's just that Konoha could have been stronger.
But Danzo and Hiruzen forcibly cut off that possibility.
They grew old, lost the drive of their youth, and became hesitant and fearful.
They even did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the entire Konoha for their own selfish desires.
Danzo thought he was acting for Konoha's sake, even wanting to become Hokage for Konoha's sake.
But he had been trapped by this obsession for too long, so long that he forgot the foundation of Konoha's Will of Fire.
The old become firewood, become nourishment to nurture more young people. That is the Will of Fire.
But they did the opposite.
They ignited the tender young leaves to illuminate their own withered yellow old leaves.
The Will of Fire had been completely distorted by them.
Thinking of this,
Takumi's expression condensed.
Danzo was a menace.
'Hiruzen was still useful for now, but this guy Danzo, it's better if he dies sooner rather than later.'
'Save him from always thinking about using Kotoamatsukami to control me.'
'Although Kotoamatsukami is ineffective against me now, this guy, like a stinking bug, always hovering in front of me, is also nauseating.'
'Speaking of stinking bugs, I wonder if he has overcome that memory now.'
'Let's see the time. That guy Danzo should have adapted by now.'
Takumi rubbed his chin. 'Then I might as well let him relive that feeling.'
'Perfect timing, it's meal time now, so it should have a good effect.'
'It's just a pity I can't see it with my own eyes. If only I could film the whole process.'
Takumi looked regretful, and at the same time, he once again transmitted the memory of modifying Danzo, making him eat excrement.
At the Shimura Residence.
Danzo sat expressionless, preparing to eat.
A while ago, because of some inexplicable memories, he had no appetite for a long time.
He wasn't plump to begin with, and became even thinner, looking like a bag of bones.
Fortunately, after such a long time, he could finally control himself not to think about those things.
Today, he was finally able to savor the fragrance of rice again after a long time.
Although he was expressionless, he did feel a little happy inside.
But after all, he was the leader of Root. If he grinned happily just because of eating a meal, it would really damage his reputation.
So he had to maintain his dignity.
He couldn't reveal the slightest flaw.
"The miso soup looks good today."
He said blandly, picking up the ladle to taste his daughter-in-law's cooking.
Just as the ladle full of soup was about to enter his mouth,
That strongly flavored memory once again flooded his brain.
"Pfft!!"
The miso soup he had just taken into his mouth immediately sprayed all over the table.
Everyone watched expressionlessly.
Although this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, just when things seemed to be gradually improving, Danzo pulled this stunt again.
Their family hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
