Inside the Konoha tent, Satoru Hyūga was in deep thought. He was thinking about how to make use of the gold he had just gotten. Well, it wasn't really "seized". It was actually his good buddy Rasa who insisted on giving it to him.

I said, "Hey, this is your gold."

He said, "No, it's yours."

I said, "It's yours."

He said, "Just take it!"

I had no choice but to reluctantly accept it. Satoru Hyūga was quite helpless.

The gold sand that Rasa had sent with all his might yielded quite a lot of pure gold after being refined using //Electromagnetic Force//Electromagnetic Force[/b]. It happened to be just right for the next plan he had in mind.

Satoru Hyūga let out a breath. His expression became solemn. He had come up with an idea a long time ago. Combine nano - robots with shadow clones to create physical clones similar to Hashirama's wooden clones (wooden - like clones created by Hashirama), or rather... artificial life forms!

Currently, the Magnetic Storm Legion was made up of shadow clones. Its power was quite remarkable! You could tell from the sorry state of Shukaku. However, it had two fatal flaws. One was the feedback impact of the shadow clones, and the other was their fragility.

The former, Satoru Hyūga had solved by canceling the clones in batches, and he even managed to gain some experience points in the process. As for the latter, Satoru Hyūga melted a large amount of metal armor. By combining it with the weakened //Electromagnetic Force//Electromagnetic Force[/b] ability of the shadow clones themselves, he barely solved the problem.

However, it still couldn't compare to the Magnetic Storm Legion in his vision. In the plan, when facing the Ōtsutsuki clan in the future, the Magnetic Storm Legion would be able to act as the main force. They would pilot star - destroyer carriers and various Gundams to launch a surprise attack on the Ōtsutsuki home planet.

If these two flaws weren't solved, Satoru Hyūga's idea would forever remain just an idea. The solution was simple: transform the shadow clones. Similar to Hashirama's wooden clones, or rather... similar to the Sentinels in the X - Men world!

In the X - Men world, to completely deal with the threat of mutants, Bolivar Trask developed a type of robot called Sentinels. These special Sentinel robots had the special attributes of absorbing mutant abilities and self - evolving. They were extremely powerful! They almost wiped out the mutants. It was only by sending Wolverine back several decades to reverse the future, preventing the Sentinels from being created, that the mutants managed to barely avoid extinction.

Those special nano - robots made Satoru Hyūga extremely jealous. It was time for the Second Battalion Commander and the Regiment Commander to evolve. The gold sent by his good buddy Rasa, combined with the large amount of nanoscale Magnetic fluid he had created, provided enough materials for his experiment.

First, he needed to select a large number of high - quality nano - robots. Satoru Hyūga was already able to disassemble any metal at will, but the quality of the disassembled metal was quite uneven. If it was just for use in battle, the difference wouldn't matter much. However, if it was used to create metal life forms, each nano - robot particle was like a cell, and the highest - quality raw materials must be used.

Satoru Hyūga's idea was simple. A shadow clone splits half of the caster's chakra to create a fragile clone similar to the caster.

So, what if we replace the raw material for this kind of clone with nano - robots and find a way to extend its duration so that it can exist permanently? Wouldn't that be like creating a metallic life - form indirectly?

There are many physical clones in the ninja world.

Lightning clones, water clones, earth clones...

A bunch of special clones that incorporate chakra nature transformations.

Their functions are similar to shadow clones. They're all weaklings.

Except for the wood clones.

It's like a glitch in the system. One could be miles away from the original body and still beat up Kakuzu.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Hashirama's wood clone even dared to go head - to - head with Madara.

It was only after Madara stabbed the wooden clone with his sword and lifted it up that it finally reverted to its wooden form.

One can imagine how insanely tough the wood clones are!

Satoru Hyūga started forming hand seals.

At the same time, the silver Magnetic fluid attached to his body surface began to flow.

Like silver liquid, it separated from his body surface and formed a wriggling mass on the nearby ground.

That was the Magnetic fluid from the decomposed Beheading Prison Chop.

In terms of quality, it was among the highest - grade nano - robots that Satoru Hyūga had disassembled.

Moreover, it had hidden special properties.

Blood - sucking growth.

On the battlefield, blood was never in short supply. The Magnetic fluid from the Beheading Prison Chop had accumulated a large amount.

It was more than enough for Satoru Hyūga to use in creating a human - like form.

The wriggling silver teardrop began to transform.

Satoru Hyūga started sculpting the face.

A big - breasted girl with silver hair and blue eyes appeared.

Her entire skin was a dark silver color.

She was naked.

Satoru Hyūga only focused on shaping the figure. Making clothes was not part of his task.

"Take a couple of steps. Just walk if you're okay."

The android moved in a sluggish manner.

It showed no signs of vitality, not even the normal physical feedback when moving.

It looked like a Puppet.

Satoru Hyūga frowned.

This was far from what he had envisioned for a metallic life - form.

At best...

It was just an advanced Puppet doll.

It couldn't be called a defective product, but rather a fake.

The so - called movement was essentially controlled by his Electromagnetic Force. It didn't even have basic biological consciousness.

If it's just something like this, he might as well sculpt a Gipsy Danger from *Pacific Rim* or a Mecha - Godzilla. Isn't that more exciting???

"What on earth went wrong?"

Satoru Hyūga began to ponder.

A life - form composed of nano - robots only appeared in science - fiction movies, even in his past life.

Relying on the unscientific physical clones in the ninja world, Satoru Hyūga planned to test his idea by exploiting a loophole.

Nanoscale Electromagnetic Force could do many things.

But creating a little person, especially a pure - metal one, really stumped him.

Next, Satoru Hyūga switched to other nano - robots.

All attempts ended in failure.

The resulting products were, at best, special Puppets. They not only lacked self - awareness but also required Satoru Hyūga's assistance to move.

 "It seems that I was too careless in trying to create a metallic life - form this way."

 Satoru Hyūga exhaled and had to abandon this idea.

 However, through multiple experiments, he vaguely grasped a key point.

 Puppet.

 The things he created were all similar to puppets, lacking biological activity.

 So, what kind of puppet could be considered a unique form of life?

 Scorpion!

 The strongest puppet master who transformed himself into a puppet.

 Satoru Hyūga's eyes gleamed. He vaguely felt that he had caught on to something.

 Sand ninja camp.

 The main force was retreating.

 The atmosphere was oppressive and mournful.

 In the main tent, there was a sense of desolation as if everyone had left and the tea had gone cold.

 Chiyo looked at the sand ninjas silently packing up outside and couldn't help but sigh.

 A messenger had already delivered the armistice agreement to Konoha, and there was still no news about the war reparations. But Chiyo knew it wouldn't be a small amount.

 Because the One - Tail was in Konoha's hands.

 If they wanted to redeem the One - Tail, the price they had to pay would be extremely high.

 This was adding insult to injury for the already not - well - off Sunagakure.

 But they had no other choice.

 Chiyo subtly glanced at the tent behind her. Rasa was sitting there blankly in a chair, looking as stupid as an idiot.

 At the moment of the village's survival, if there was a leader to stand up, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so bad.

 But...

 Rasa was useless.

 This was the result Chiyo had verified in the three days since she brought him back from the battlefield.

 It seemed that he couldn't bear such a blow. His most proficient //Magnet Release//Magnet Release[/b] was completely suppressed by the opponent's Male Magnet Release.

 Adding to the previous heavy blows, Rasa's heart had been completely destroyed.

 The experienced Chiyo knew that in this state, Rasa would never achieve anything.

 At best, he would spend the rest of his life in sorrow.

 The position of the Fourth Kazekage... perhaps...

 Chiyo took a deep breath and finally made up her mind. She quietly called Yakura out of the tent.

 "From now on, you'll be the new Fourth Kazekage of the village."

 "Really?"

 Yakura's breath caught in her throat.

 The long - awaited position was right in front of her, making her feel like it was an illusion.

 "Rasa has..."

 Chiyo subtly looked at the dull Rasa and shook her head with a sigh.

 It was an unavoidable decision in this critical situation. Rasa was completely useless.

 She was old. Sunagakure finally needed a new leader. Among the whole village, the only capable one was Yakura.

 In the just - ended war, she had made a lot of contributions in blocking Minato Namikaze.

 After returning to the village, they would just have the Jonin vote as a formality, and the new Fourth Kazekage would be officially determined.

 "Thank you, Lady Chiyo. I will definitely not let you down!"

 Yakura said excitedly.

 Inside the tent, upon hearing their conversation, Rasa's fingers rarely twitched slightly.

 Chiyo gave him a cold look and didn't stay any longer. She turned around and left.

 In the empty tent, only Rasa was left.

 Sitting in the shadow.

He slowly raised his head, and a tear slid down from the corner of his eye. His chapped lips parted with a hoarse sound.

His voice was hoarse, like the whistling sand in the wind.

"If Luo was meant to exist, why did Satoru have to be born..."
