Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

On the warrant, Shimizu's name and photo were clearly visible.

Further down were his mission records: 68 D-rank missions, 26 C-rank, and 63 B-rank.

The biggest difference from before was that his A-rank missions were finally not zero, but had become 1, while his S-rank missions remained at two.

"Congratulations, Shimizu. Although I knew you would reach this point quickly when you joined the Puppet Squad, I didn't expect that in less than a year, you would become a Special Jonin. With your strength, you should soon become a true Jonin."

Ishido patted Shimizu's shoulder and congratulated him.

After this mission, he had a completely new level of respect for Shimizu.

Originally, when he heard that Shimizu now possessed strength close to that of a Jonin, he was a little skeptical, but now...

Oh, boy, it's more than that!

Whether it was the almost godlike Wind Style ninjutsu that he couldn't even comprehend, or the ability to fly at high altitudes for long periods, these were not abilities that a normal Jonin could possess.

Maki, Yekura, and Kurokawa also offered their congratulations.

The former two were filled with envy.

Maki's hard requirements were still a bit short, but Yekura was getting there; she only needed to complete one more A-rank mission.

"By the way, there is also extremely important information that needs to be reported immediately to Lord Third and Master Ebizo. When Master Chiyo returns, she must also be informed as soon as possible."

Shimizu put the warrant into the pocket of his vest and said to Kazakami Chiru with a serious expression.

"Hmm?"

"We encountered Tsunade of Konoha on this mission."

Kazakami Chiru's face suddenly became serious.

"Tsunade?! That's right, whether it was this war or the previous operations, there has been no news of Tsunade. It is indeed possible that she has withdrawn from the Land of Rain, but... if you encountered Tsunade of Konoha, how did you escape unscathed?"

"Ahem, actually... it should be Tsunade who escaped unscathed. According to my personal detection, Tsunade's condition is very wrong; there is a high probability that she is suffering from hemophobia."

"Are you sure?"

Shimizu slowly nodded.

"If you can't believe it, you can design some methods to test it, such as picking some scapegoats from the bounty station, but I am at least 90% sure."

Shimizu said seriously.

"In any case, it's a good thing. If the information is verified, you will probably become a Special Jonin very soon."

Shimizu crossed his arms, tilted his head, and said to Yekura with a smile.

...

...

Demon Slayer World.

Mount Momoyama.

A small house at the foot of the mountain has been transformed into a workshop by Shimizu.

The era here is too backward.

Although there were machine tools in the early Taisho period, in Japan at this time, they were not only expensive, but also not something that ordinary people could buy.

With the wealth and background of the Uesugi family, they could definitely get one for Shimizu, but after several considerations, Shimizu decided to build one himself.

The precision of the machine tools here is too low.

With the abilities Shimizu possesses, he can completely manufacture a high-precision machine tool powered and driven by chakra threads and puppetry to process materials.

The machine tool has just been completed, and the puppets have not yet begun to be forged.

Currently, Shimizu has designed two plans. One is to create pneumatic armored puppets like Black Gold and Fatty, with great strength, and then simply replace the fists with those made of Scarlet Sand Iron.

No matter what kind of demon he encounters, he just needs to smash its head with one punch.

But the problem is that the level of industry here is still relatively primitive, and there are no suitable materials for making airtight cylinders like in the Naruto world. The performance limit that the manufactured pneumatic armor can exert is locked, and it may not even be as good as the early Black Gold.

In that case, the upper limit is only Chunin strength.

Unless Shimizu is willing to spend a lot of time analyzing various materials and substances in this world, and then climb the technology tree to promote the development of the era's industry...

Currently, Shimizu has no such idea. If he can climb to a high position in the future, he may do some achievements in order to obtain luck.

No one is wrong, one song, one shot, one content, one in one look!

The second is to make lightweight exoskeleton armor.

It's not even armor, but armor.

In addition to providing a certain degree of protection, it is to add some mechanisms for killing enemies or saving lives, and it contains chakra hubs.

Because it is simple, it only requires one or two chakra threads to control, and in critical moments, a mechanism shield can be activated as a defensive measure.

The puppet's rating may not be too high, but if it is only used as a semi-covered exoskeleton battle suit for auxiliary combat, it can greatly improve the combat capabilities of this body.

I don't know if he can beat Hashirama, but he can definitely beat a Grade A swordsman who is second only to Hashirama.

Just as Shimizu was about to start making the puppet, a heart-wrenching scream came from the grass outside the house.

"No! Ryoko, she, Ryoko, she promised me she would elope with me! She even took all my money! Ryoko, Ryoko! How can I live without you!"

"So noisy..."

Shimizu only felt that there was a simp crying outside.

Pushing open the door, Shimizu saw the scene outside at a glance.

An old man in yellow clothes with a high hairline was dragging a crying teenager towards here.

"Master Kuwajima, I am Uesugi Shimizu, recommended by Morioka Niji, the cultivator of the Breath of Wind. I want to learn the Breath of Thunder from you."

Shimizu said respectfully to the old man who was missing a leg and could only walk with a wooden prosthetic.

If you want to learn skills from someone, respect is essential.

This person is the former Thunder Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and his strength is far above Morioka Niji.

"Oh? Oh! I remember now, that monk Morioka did send me a letter some time ago. So, you are the kid who learned all the sword forms of the Breath of Wind after reading them once, and made Morioka unteachable in a month."

Kuwajima Jigoro leaned on his crutch and curiously looked at Shimizu.

"Come with me, this kid is my newly caught... newly accepted disciple, named Agatsuma Zenitsu. Hey, he was cheated out of all his money by the girl he liked. As a result, that girl ran away to elope with someone else, causing this kid to owe a huge sum of money and be hunted down by loan sharks. A half-grown child actually runs faster than a group of people. This explosive power is good material for learning the Breath of Thunder."

Kuwajima Jigoro patted the head of Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was still yelling, and said with a chuckle.

"There is also my disciple Kaigaku on the mountain. I'll introduce you to each other later."
