Chapitre 80: Chapter 80 Puppet Making
Deidara looked at Naruto's gift. It was given to him in exchange for not destroying the outlining parts of the village. It was a very special set of full body chakra armor. It covered everything even his face. It had a special scope to replace his own in the visor. But what Deidara really like were the interconnecting tubes that would both feed clay into Deidaras hands and then use the clay to coat the armor. This would turn Deidara into a walking explosion, but the materials would keep him safe inside using special seals and materials so as to be unaffected by the force or heat. A large hatch on his chest would also allow him to create his clay constructs whenever he wished. Deidara was beyond happy with his gift, but he still wanted to let his art be seen for the briefest of seconds by someone.
So he decided to ask Naruto for anything he could do, a mission of sorts to test out his new suit. As it just so happened he did. Apparently there was some legend of an unusual Sea Monster in the Land of the Sea, Naruto believing it could be connected in Eldritch Forces asked if Deidara could investigate it. Deidara agreed, Naruto then put a seal of Deidara's Chakra armor. The Seal was for the flying thunder god. In the event that if the sea monster is some Eldritch creature Naruto would be able to get there instantaneously being he was immune to insanity. Either Way Deidara did not care, he had a set of Armor to test out.
Sasori's Scorpion body looked down at the armless boy on the table. Zaku if He remembered correctly. He grabbed the arms that were to be attached to the boy. They were vertebrates, similar to Sasori's old puppets such as Crow. The design was intentional. By adding flexibility to the arms, it would allow Zaku to change the pitch of his sonic attacks with the tubes in his arms modified for added flexibility as well as miniature Flamethrowers similar to the ones in Sasori's scorpion body. Herbert stood next to Sasori examining the arms, adding metal plating for added strength around each vertebrae of each of the arms. The fingers were wood with inch long claws made of steel and shaped like the tips of kunai knives. Useful in that a small coating of a rubber on the palms and fingertips so that whatever was held would not slip from Zaku's grasp.
They were a simple yet effective design. Sasori looked at the body. Rigor mortis had set in long ago, but the body was still well-preserved. Sasori moved the stiff body so as to cut open the shoulders. He began adding joints necessary to attach the arms. Each part was attached by Sasori, who's dexterity with his fingers allowed him to complete the process in moments. Herbert then attached the arms moving the thick blood that oozed out so as not to get in the way. Next Sasori carved seals into each vertebra with a white hot knife. Once done he allowed an iron thick ink to stay in the groves making sure that not a drop ran over. Once done hot air from Sasori's Scorpion body's palms allowed the ink to stay. He then added the chakra. The seals would allow Zaku to feel the arms, while the feeling would be muted somewhat , it would be useful. Finally Sasori's job was done. He sat off to the side. Herbert then removed a vial from his cloak and a syringe. He took the Syringe and put it in the vial, sucking up the Reagent. He walked over to the body and lifted it. He stuck the needle into Zakus spine and pumped the liquid into his body. He then put the syringe to the side. He watched as several clones took the body away to put it in the holding cells until Kin arrived. Even with his arms he would be unable to leave. As the clones left Herbert heard The sound of a sudden gasp of air, followed by the sound of Zaku's screams.
Sakura grabbed another piece of wood and fastened it into place. She was creating her own puppet. A surprisingly complex puppet. Sasori had his Hiruko body watching, but said nothing. This was an important part of the art form. He would not help her as for the puppet to truly be her own she would have to make it herself. Sasori only showed her how to build a puppet and prepare it. This process would also teach her puppet maintenance for latter. He turned his head to look at the Puppet she had built earlier. It was a humanoid one with a head reselling Crow, no doubt she used the design after seeing Kankuro. Sasori threw it to the side and told her to make the puppet her own. She did not complain in the slightest. Currently her newest puppet was still Humanoid, but feminine in appearance. It was a simple puppet from first glance, but more detail revealed deception. Wooden links created a vine like pattern for retractable tentacles of sorts that came from the palms Hidden in the forearms. Each link had small metal spikes she attached on herself. Sasori found the idea ingenious. It increased the puppets range significantly by about thirty feet, and the poison chosen by Sakura was quite the concoction. The puppets motif was very plant like, it suited the girl.
Next came the puppets head. It was still very Humanoid, but had two bulbs on the side of it's head resembling hair buns that would unfold into a metal flower that could launch Senbon in any direction. The eyes were also important, for they contained small devices to launch very small and very thin needles coated in poison. The puppets fingers housed retractable blades coated with the same poison. Once Finished Sakura proudly showed Sasori her new Puppet. He nodded. It was a fair-sized puppet, only slightly taller than Sakura herself. It had carvings in it resembling ivy vines.
"An interesting design, very much useful for both long-range offense and stealth, as well as some close-range counter measures. I am beyond impressed. Now all that must be done is to name her", said Sasori.
Sakura looked at the puppet that she was very prod of before a smile graced her face.
"Ivy, it's simple but also a perfect description of what it can do", said Sakura.
"Ivy, yes a good name. Congratulations are in order Sakura, it is a beautiful puppet", said Sasori.
Sakura beamed. Her smile nearly from ear to ear.
Sasori nodded. He truly was impressed with the design, and was now no longer regretting Naruto asking him to teach Sakura, she was an interesting student.
"Now that you have a puppet the true training begins", said Sasori.
Sakura only nodded. Her fingers flexed causing Chakra strings to attach to her new puppet. Ivy lifted to her feet.
Sasuke had finally popped the balloon, after a week of non stop training he has done it. Now he had to do it again, to a rubber ball. And when he threw it it did not pop like the water balloons, so it was hardly satisfying and only served to increase his anger. In the end he took to throwing them followed by a kunai to pop it. It made him feel much better.
"You know, you really do have anger issues", said Minato.
"And you're dead, we all have our problems", said Sasuke.
"I never died. Now your me died, but I'm sill alive. Hell if what Naruto told me about the multiverse I am probably alive in a lot of places", said Minato.
"Hn"
"See I don't know what that means", said Minato in jest.
"It mean, nevermind", said Sasuke as he concentrated on the rubber ball.
Minato just put his hands behind his head and watched. He laughed a few times at Sasuke's random spouts of anger. He reminded Minato so much of both Kakashi and Obito that it was scary. But for now it was something to laugh at. He would ait to give Sasuke a hint, after all he had enough rubber balls to last all week.
When Deidara arrived at the Land of the Sea he found he was being looked at. A lot. Not surprizing considering his armor, but it was starting to piss him off. He was only seconds away from exploding, quite literally when he saw a bandaged girl on the beach. She hid under the docks seemingly away from the world. Deidara ignored her but there was something about the girl he found odd, he just could not put his finger on it.
Deidara shrugged before leaving on his way to figure out something. Maybe he could blow up a few buildings to release some stress. Some rather idiotic bandits he encountered on the way here could only go so far. Though he did find it funny to see there faces when they were ripped apart by a clay bird. Then the fools attacked the bird and ended up as a pile of dust.
"True art", said Deidara to himself as he began to reminisce.
He shook his head, he was here he might as well start looking for some information, he could always raise the village to the ground latter. For now he had a Sea Monster to find. Deidara walked up to the beach and opened the hatch on his chest. A large portion of clay came out and Deidara moulded it into the shape of a large whale. He stood on it's back as it swam off. He saw the bandaged girl again who watched him with curiosity but once again he ignored her.
Naruto looked down at the map before him he turned his attention back to Xel who merely nodded. He looked at every dot that was on the map, there were many. Xel sat down crossing his arms.
"So what do you think", asked Xel.
"It is dangerous, really dangerous. There is a reason we limited the Reagents use, but the benefits are just as interesting as the consequences. It could work, but free will is the problem", said Naruto.
"True my lord, but you do seem to have a gift for turning others to our side, even indirectly", said Xel.
Naruto shrugged.
"So these are the grave sites for every single A and S rank ninja to ever live. To summon an army like that could be useful. But the dangers", said Naruto.
"We could limit ourselves somewhat. Give the ones we know cannot control to the Puppet master, let him turn them into puppets, the others can be a great addition", said Xel.
"I'm surprized you came up with this Xel, usually your plans are more based around rituals in the Necronomicon. This seems like something Herbert would come up with", said Naruto.
"It was an offhand comment by the scientist that gave me the spark to realize what could be done with the dead, it was when he spoke of raising the swordsman and the ice boy. To be honest I am surprized he has not come up with a similar plan", said Xel.
Naruto shrugged.
"Well I know a few who assuredly will go to Sasori for puppet making, the others I'm not so sure about", said Naruto.
Xel nodded.
"I can send forth your clones to gather their corpses, where do you wish to start", asked Xel.
"We start with the ones to become Sasori's puppets, it will be safer that way. Worry about resurrection later. I have a specific idea on who to get first for Sasori", said Naruto.
His finger fell to point at one spot on the map. When Xel saw which one it was he smiled his toothed smile, even Samehada squirmed with excitement. For Naruto's finger had fallen to the grave site of Madara Uchiha.
