This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 438 Envisioning the Future

On the main road outside Konoha Village, two spacious carriages pulled by ninja horses were slowly making their way towards the border of the Land of Wind.

The autumn air was crisp and clear, and sunlight filtered through the leaves of the roadside trees, casting dappled shadows on the car roof, creating an extremely pleasant atmosphere.

These two carriages were deluxe versions specially requested by Nishikawa Tetsu from the caravan of Heian Corporation. The shock absorption system was much better than that of ordinary carriages, and the carriages were also covered with soft cushions.

But this still couldn't satisfy a certain high-energy Jonin who was leading the team.

"Too slow! Too slow! At this rate, when will we ever reach Loulan!"

At the very front, Kushina Uzumaki unleashed chakra from her feet, rapidly traversing between the tree trunks.

She found the carriage too slow and had long since handed over command to Kakashi, then dashed ahead to scout the way.

Inside the two carriages behind.

The first car was filled with four people from Team 7: Kakashi, Obito, Rin, and Kurenai.

Obito was incessantly boasting to Kurenai about his glorious moments in the last mission, while Kakashi leaned against the window with his eyes closed, automatically blocking out Obito's noise.

The atmosphere in the second car was somewhat eerie.

Nishikawa Tetsu leaned comfortably against the innermost cushion, holding a travelogue he had somehow acquired.

Kana and Shizune sat next to him, sharing a bag of potato chips with great relish. Tonton was being fostered in Tsunade's laboratory, where the researchers treated him very well. It was foreseeable that Tonton would gain even more weight after this mission.

In the corner of the carriage near the door, Scorpion leaned against the carriage with his hands in his pockets.

As a member of the third squad, Scorpion was initially somewhat resistant to this joint mission that looked like a picnic.

But remembering the Third Hokage's earlier words, "Having passed the Chunin Exams, you are now a member of Konoha. Communicate more with your comrades," and coupled with the threat from his Jonin leader, Kushina, he finally got into the car with a cold face.

After all, his own Jonin had taken on the mission, so whether or not he went was no longer up to him.

"I'm so bored..."

Chanel finished the last potato chip, dusted off the crumbs on her hands, and listlessly looked out the window at the unchanging scenery.

She turned her head, her big eyes scanning the carriage before finally settling on the scorpion in the corner.

"Hey, Scorpion," Kana said, making conversation by leaning closer. "How's DouDou been lately? We've been so busy with training and missions these past few days that we haven't had a chance to visit him at the orphanage."

Scorpion had gotten used to Kanae's disrespectful way of addressing him.

Upon hearing the name, his tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"What else can I say? He's such a nuisance."

His tone revealed an undeniable weariness.

"Now I don't have to carry him around every day. Orochimaru's apprentice, Anko, is always running to my lab. That brat follows her around like a shadow. Yesterday, Anko even took him to catch lizards outside the lab, making a huge mess of mud!"

At this point, Scorpion's eye twitched violently, clearly harboring a long-standing grudge against these two brats who had disrupted his artistic research environment.

"pocket?"

Nishikawa Tetsu, who had been pretending to be reading a book, perked up his ears instantly upon hearing this name.

He put down the travelogue in his hand and turned his head in surprise.

"The Kabuto you're talking about... is it Kabuto Yakushi?"

"Yes, Brother Che, you know him too?"

Shizune nodded and explained, "This is an orphan we found in a dilapidated temple during a mission. Because he always wore a tattered helmet, Senior Scorpion named him Kabuto."

"Originally, Kushina wanted to adopt him, but Tsunade said she was worried about the impact, so we sent him to Director Nonou's orphanage. Now he takes the surname Yakushi, which is also Nono's surname," Kana added.

"..."

After listening, Nishikawa Tetsu fell into a brief silence.

"This is even possible?"

Nishikawa Tetsu secretly marveled at this.

In the original work, Kabuto was adopted by Nonou because he became an orphan in the Battle of Kikyoyama.

Unexpectedly, because of the flapping of his own wings, he was actually picked up by Kushina's team!

Moreover, judging from Scorpion's description...

This kid actually ended up with Sasori? And even got along well with Orochimaru's apprentice, Anko? What kind of bizarre fatalism is this?!

However, Nishikawa Tetsu quickly came to terms with it.

Kabuto Yakushi's fate in this world has been completely changed.

Nono is no longer forced to become a spy, nor will he follow the tragic path of being forced by Danzo to wander around as a spy.

"Moreover, with Anko playing with him and Sasori, a top-tier puppeteer, by his side... given Kabuto's freakish learning talent, he might be discovered by Orochimaru or Sasori in the future and become a researcher, which would be excellent."

Nishikawa Tetsu conjured up an image in his mind of Kabuto wearing a white lab coat, pushing up his glasses, and handing a scalpel to Orochimaru or Sasori in the laboratory. He couldn't help but chuckle softly, thinking that it wasn't too different from the original work!

"Ouch!"

Just as Nishikawa Tetsu was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly rolled over a deep pothole and lurched violently.

Caught off guard, Chanel bumped her head into the wooden planks of the carriage.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Kana clutched her forehead, tears welling in her eyes, and complained angrily, "This awful road is so hard to walk on! And this carriage, it's shaking me to death! Che-nii-san, when will your Konoha Speedster cover the Land of Wind? I want to fly there in a flash!"

"You wish!"

Nishikawa Tetsu rubbed his waist, which was a little numb from the jolting, and smiled helplessly.

"Setting up the coordinates for the Flying Thunder Array is not that easy. The geological structure of the Wind Country desert is too unstable."

He glanced at Kana, who was rubbing her forehead, and Shizune, who was also feeling a bit carsick, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"However, don't worry. By the time we get back from this mission, the electric vehicles at the Science Research Institute should be almost fully tested."

"Electric car? What's that?" Shizune asked curiously.

"Simply put, it's a metal box with four wheels that doesn't need horses, can run on its own, and has a shock absorption system and air conditioning inside. I've used it before when hosting guests."

Nishikawa Tetsu leaned back on the cushion and began to describe the future to the members of Class 3.

"At that time, you will be sitting in the car as comfortably as you would on your sofa at home, enjoying the cool breeze, drinking beverages, and listening to music as you travel."

"Wow!" Chanel's eyes lit up instantly. "That's a million times more comfortable than riding in a carriage!"

"Not only that."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked out the window. Although all he could see now was soil and trees, he could already see a crisscrossing network of railways in his eyes.

"Once the levitation train project of the Ninja World Community of Destiny is fully rolled out, railways will connect countries and villages."

"Then, when we travel from Konoha to the Land of Wind, we won't have to endure more than ten days of bumpy carriage rides. We can have a steamed bun in Konoha in the morning, board the train, take a nap, and arrive in Sunagakure for barbecue at noon."

"Can it really be that fast?" Shizune was incredulous; this was completely beyond her understanding of transportation in the ninja world.

Even Scorpion, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slightly opened them. Although he didn't speak, a hint of barely perceptible curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Of course, technology changes lives, and that's not just an empty phrase."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and patted Kana's head.

"So, so that you can comfortably eat your way through the entire ninja world in the future, remember to take on more missions and invest all your money in your brother's projects."

"Yes, yes! I will definitely work hard to earn money!" Kana was so smitten by Nishikawa Tetsu's promises that she nodded repeatedly.

The carriage was filled with anticipation for the future and laughter, and with the sound of the carriage wheels, it headed towards Loulan.
