If the combat strength of the Red Sand Legion is one hundred, then the combat power of the Scorpion alone is enough to occupy 99 percent of it, and the remaining twenty-three people of the puppet class together occupy one percent.

The scorpion understands how cruel the mid-ninja exam should be, and let a group of imps who have only roughly mastered the skills of puppet making and puppet manipulation are still very rusty to take the exam, and they will definitely die a miserable death.

The Puppet Division Legion was once an extremely powerful and legendary force of the Sand Ninja, and the descendants of these remaining puppet divisions are all proud of their ancestors.

Everyone in the puppet C class decided that even if they were buried in the yellow sand and died as soon as they entered the middle ninja exam, they would go.

They are the ninjas of the village of red sand. What is red sand? The blood stained red with the sand is not only the enemy's.

Applying various colors of oil paint to the face is a peculiar custom in the Sand Ninja Village, and the puppeteers will also draw a more unique mark on the face.

Purple ink was brought from the Quartermaster Ninja and distributed by the Scorpion box by box.

After physical training and deliberately increased nutritional intake, the scorpion, who was more than one head taller, crossed his arms and looked at the little ghosts standing in two rows on the left and right, and looked at them in turn from left to right, as if he was the wind shadow now.

"Since you are all scheduled to take the middle ninja exam, Brother Uehara and I respect your choice."

"But." The scorpion raised his voice, "I may not be able to fully protect you during the exam..."

"Now, what are you talking about scorpions," one of the imps got angry, "when did you want the scorpion to protect us?" We have to pass the exam on our own. ”

"Yes, that's right."

"That's it."

The harmony should come and go.

Perhaps in the custom of the sand ninja, the face is painted with a special oil paint pattern, which represents growth or some other meaning, in short, the little ghosts take this matter more seriously than Uehara imagined.

It's one thing to be able to draw, but it's even more difficult to draw what someone else describes.

In the past, a cold drink was enough to beat the little ghost, but this time everyone asked Uehara to change the sketch many times.

"This, this doesn't seem right." The little ghost pointed to Uehara's half-finished sketch, "Dad's puppet is a big centipede, and then it has sharp corners, but the sharp corners don't look right." “

"Here," the circle hesitated, "the sharp corners are not curved inward, like, like ......" The circle didn't know exactly what the puppet ninja that his father regarded as a treasure should be.

Like most of the puppeteer's orphans, when his father died, he was just a little ghost who didn't know what death was.

The puppet troops of Shayin Village, because of the strength of Konoha White Fang, withered in a battle.

"It's a kunai-like horn, isn't it?" The scorpion silently appeared behind Uehara, Ojo, who had picked up a lot of scrolls from nowhere.

"No, just follow this picture, puppet-toothed centipede." The scorpion handed over the scroll.

The relics of the puppeteers of the previous generation, including some puppet designs and some of the puppet remains, were brought by Scorpion from Chiyo's mother-in-law and handed over to the imps.

In this way, the vast majority of the imps finally have a definite impression, without exception, they all choose to use the former puppet of their father who has died in battle as their second face in the ninja world in the future.

Only the ninjas of the sand ninja can understand the hidden meaning from the different patterns on each other's faces.

—

In less than five weeks, it will be the middle ninja exam in Sand Ninja Village, and it is not very difficult to help a group of imps prepare enough.

Time is extremely limited, and Uehara can't think of a way to quickly improve the strength of the imps in a short period of time.

"Whew~" After a long sigh of relief, Uehara remembered the scorpion, maybe he would have a good way.

"Uh, scorpion. Do you have any secret medicine in Sha Ninja Village that can increase the amount of chakra in a short period of time..."

"No, only the Soldier Rations Pill." The scorpion head, which was fiddling with a huge machine tool, didn't lift it.

"What about the ninja equipment?"

"The puppet is the most outstanding ninja tool that the Sand Ninja Village can make." As he spoke, the scorpion slowly moved the silver-gray rectangular metal block towards the workbench where the drill cutter was constantly stopping.

After some cutting, a set of puppet parts of equal size are processed in batches.

"What is the pass rate?" Uehara picked one up casually and glanced at it.

"Eighty-five percent." The scorpion easily gave accurate data.

This guy is pregnant, he doesn't need to measure with a ruler, and he just picks up the newly processed parts and looks at them separately, so that he can accurately judge whether they are qualified.

"Uehara, don't you have a way to continue to improve the machine?" Scorpion was not satisfied, "Although it is very efficient, it wastes too much material." ”

"There's no way," Uehara shook his head, "either improve the machine again, or add more parts, so that qualified parts are enough." “

Improve the machine, forget it. Although I don't know why Uehara didn't call this special non-combat-capable puppet a machine tool instead of a primordial puppet when it was first named, ah, the complexity of this thing is that Scorpion also finds it troublesome, and the degree of trouble is the sum of all the puppets made by Scorpion in the past.

To improve the original puppet or puppet manufacturing machine, the scorpion felt that the time required should be measured in years.

Just like the neat robotic arm on the modern industrial production line, one after another chakra line is like a dense and neat wire in the factory connecting many tool platforms, and the scorpion is like a huge humanoid CPU, which perfectly controls hundreds of processes with chakra lines in an orderly manner, and the efficiency is improved by more than ten times.

An inconspicuous semi-automated machine tool is enough to prove the puppet talent and mechanical talent of the scorpion.

Then, the collision of the wisdom of the two worlds produced a surprising result. The puppet Sansho fish can now be mass-produced, as can the puppet crow and the black ant, although there are often cases where the operation is ineffective and the strength is not enough, and even parts are dropped from time to time. This is because the work is too large.

"I've improved the neck joint of the puppet crow, you can take a look." The scorpion threw Uehara a washing machine drain as black as something that didn't slip away.

"I replaced wood and metal with leather, which reduced the weight of the puppet. And, more flexible. ”

The three puppets of the scorpion, the crow, the pepper fish, the black ant, Uehara is very familiar with its structure, the puppet crow is very lightweight, it is a ninja tool that can be used to control flight, as a means of attack, the original crow neck is composed of a nested section of wood, and the inside is pierced with a steel cable, which can achieve a 360-degree rotation of the neck and can carry out a telescopic attack with a length of about three meters.

"This seems to be a little shorter than your crow's parts," Uehara roughly looked at, "and besides, the leather isn't strong enough, right?" “

"Hmm. It can be easily damaged. The scorpion looked indifferent, which was completely different from his previous attitude towards puppets, which he used to make as the ultimate work of art.

"If it's broken, throw it away."

"Bring the scrolls and prepare a few more spare golems."

Is this to minimize costs and treat golems as consumables?

The production version of the puppet crow has almost half a shorter neck, and is not made of sturdy iron cables, which is thought to cause the puppet crow's attack range to plummet, as well as its defense.

It is conceivable that there is no need to do a series of artistic manipulation skills such as S-shaped maneuvers in the air, Z-maneuvers, swooping maneuvers, death dive winding, etc., of the original Scorpion puppet crow.

Consumable golems have their own usage of consumable golems, and you can throw them out regardless of it, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the difficulty of the golem's operation.

It's amazing that the best puppet and the worst puppet come from the hands of the scorpion at the same time.

This batch of puppets that haven't even repaired the burrs, Uehara suddenly seems to have seen the AK47 of the puppet world.

Chisha. Kalashnikov. Scorpion, for the middle ninja exam, he made five hundred inferior mass-produced puppets that Chiyo's mother-in-law could see and faint.
