Chapter 55: The Crisis of Intelligent Machines
In the forty-eighth year of the Konoha calendar, the long-scorching ninja war gradually became clearer.
The ninja equipment hoarded by the scientific ninja has been sold out, the mountains on the border of the land country have been emptied, and Uehara's huge plan to turn the ninja continent upside down is almost complete, and there is only one last step left.
Since Iwakure, the fog ninja was the first to withdraw from the battlefield, and then the cloud ninja, and the sand ninja village, which was considered the weakest by Uehara, actually held out to the end.
From the Land of Wind to the middle of the Land of Fire, it should be a dense forest with good greenery and vast fertile fields on the plains.
But now, as if ploughed over and over again by intense artillery fire, a narrow strip of land leading directly to Konoha Ninja Village has become full of red earth and no grass grows.
Looking down in the daylight day, the narrow area shimmered in the sky, and the ground was littered with fragments of destroyed metal golems.
"Interesting." When the puppet legions that flew or leaped across the horizon like beasts all over the mountains reappeared, Uehara's eyes showed curiosity.
In one day, Uehara, who came to investigate the situation of the battlefield, had seen three batches of tens of thousands of puppets frantically pounce on Konoha Ninja Village without control.
With such a terrifying number of puppets, the quality of a single puppet is not bad, the rough workmanship of the puppet is sealed with an extremely large amount of chakra, and the long-range and short-range attacks are very sharp, and the army of puppets that ignore illusions and damage is even more powerful after self-explosion.
It would be an absolute nightmare when there were millions, each of which was not an ordinary shinobi who could cope with the puppets rushing towards Konoha in a continuous stream.
When the whole body of crimson golems with different forms first appeared on the battlefield, only a small part of them, and most of them appeared to assist the Sand Ninja when attacking.
At that time, Konoha discovered the abnormality of the uncontrolled puppet, but because of its vulnerable combat power, it can be easily leveled with a lower ninja, and Konoha didn't pay too much attention.
Subsequently, there were more and more cases of similar puppets appearing on the battlefield, and the number of them increased, and it seemed that the sand shinobi was improving similar puppets, and the puppets began to slowly become difficult.
After Konoha had won the battle with the other ninja villages, Konoha gathered all his strength to defeat the main force of the sand ninja in one fell swoop, and pursued it all the way to the territory of the Land of Wind.
At this time, in the uninhabited desert of the Land of Winds, under the yellow sand, a tide of puppets came out and pounced on the Konoha ninja.
The torrent of puppets seemed endless, and after Konoha destroyed the puppets with 100,000 records, he was desperate to find that there were more puppets surrounded around.
Finally, in the tireless torrent of puppets, the exhausted Konoha ninja retreated, and was pushed back to the territory of the Fire Country by the puppet army.
After that, it became a long-term tug-of-war between the puppet army of the sand ninja and the Konoha ninja.
Originally, the exchange ratio between Konoha ninjas and damned puppets was more than two hundred, and it would take an average of two hundred puppets to kill one ninja, and most of them were accidentally ninja imps.
As time passed, the puppets that had been stiff became more and more flexible, and the chakras sealed in the puppets also increased, and the casualties of the Konoha ninja continued to rise, and finally stabilized at a ratio of about ten to one.
When a single puppet generally has the difficulty of being a ninja, millions of puppets are millions of tireless ninjas who don't know what to sacrifice.
Konoha began to be under tremendous pressure, and the sand shinobi were consumed by lifeless puppets, while Konoha died as living people.
The powerlessness of the future ninja alliance in the face of the reincarnation army of the filthy earth, Konoha felt it a hundred times in advance.
The puppet army of the sand ninja was completely destroyed by Konoha White Fang during the Second Ninja War, and once again rebuilt a huge puppet army, one generation is simply not enough.
Fortunately, the most talented puppeteer master Red Sand Scorpion appeared in Sand Hidden Village, and the puppet army that plunged Konoha into endless battles was all from the hands of Red Sand Scorpion.
Hidden in a corner of the desert in the vast land of the Land of the Wind, a crazy sandstorm roared, and the sand swept up by the wind crackled like the sharpest knife against the cloak.
A sand ninja in a black cloak sat cross-legged in the desert, holding a bottle of potion in his right hand, and from time to time tilting the mouth of the bottle to drip the potion.
The sand in the desert was piping hot, and the potion quickly vaporized and evaporated after dripping, and the air around it was filled with a foul smell.
Soon, as if attracted by the smell of medicine, countless living creatures swarmed in the seemingly lifeless desert, large and small scorpions, centipedes, various poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, lizards and other chaotic creatures crawled towards the sand ninja.
Sand Ninja's left surgical seal was pressed on the scroll placed on his knees, and all the poisonous insects were pulled by an inexplicable force when they approached him, and countless chakra lines pulled all the living creatures around him and sealed them in the scroll, and the blank space in the scroll immediately added a vivid pattern of poisonous insects......
Before the sandstorm came, another drop of potion dropped, and only a few sparse poisonous insects crawled out, and it seemed that the poisonous insects in this desert had been caught.
Sand Shinobi gathered the scroll and stood up, under the cover of the anti-sand cloak, it turned out to be a very young face.
In the original book, the Red Sand Scorpion developed the forbidden art of the human puppet and made itself into an immortal puppet, and now, the fate of the Red Sand Scorpion has long been changed, although the scorpion did not develop the boring ninjutsu of making itself into a puppet, but another form of living puppetry has appeared.
Any living creature has a flexible existence, and the soul of the living creature is sealed in the puppet, and the puppet has the thinking and killing instincts, and there is no need for additional puppeteers to control it. This is a weapon of war that is alive with an autonomous consciousness.
"It's time to move on to the next area." The scorpion licked his chapped lips and slowly walked into the deeper desert, behind him, the sandstorm raging even more fiercely.
The original Konoha defense against the torrent of puppets was a large number of trenches created by Tu Dun, and the original living golems had almost no intelligence, and would stupidly crash into traps or fall into the trenches, until the endless puppets filled the trenches and the subsequent golems could cause trouble for Konoha.
But soon, the puppet became a real murderous thing, and puppets with the ability to fly began to appear, and the increasingly flexible puppets almost made the Konoha ninja think that the puppets were intelligent, and the puppets would dodge attacks, jump over trenches, and wait for an opportunity to rush to the front and suddenly explode.
Many of the puppets with biological instincts broke away from the route of attacking Konoha Headquarters and began to spread across the territory of the Fire Country, causing a lot of damage to the Fire Country.
It was Konoha's responsibility to protect the Fire Nation, and the Konoha ninjas had to divide most of their forces and run around the Fire Nation to hunt down the dangerous puppets.
Konoha headquarters, outside the Konoha Ninja Village, the remains of the puppets are stacked very high, almost covering Konoha anymore, and Konoha has no extra manpower to deal with these things, including the three ninjas and the wave wind and water gate, the vast majority of Konoha ninjas are in the territory of the Fire Nation to carry out the task of clearing the puppets.
The puppets paid more and more.
Gradually, lost puppets began to enter the land of earth, although they were immediately strangled by the border troops.
When the puppet as a weapon of war is given a soul and wisdom without limitation, and eventually causes uncontrollable destruction, the scientific name is called "intellectual crisis", and the intellectual crisis erupts.
