The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

87 The romance of scientific research dogs

"Okay, even if your inferences are correct, it's still just a guess if you want to prove it."

"Just do experiments." The two said the most critical point in unison, which was also the fundamental reason why Zoji brought the broken helmet here.

"Let's work together." Saki took out a part of the helmet and handed it to Fang Zhu. "Heat resistance, ductility, and composition analysis."

"No problem." As an expert in making ninja tools, such small things are easy for Fang Zhu to do. There was no special feature about the helmet before, but now that there is something suspicious about it, how can Fang Zhu, who is interested in exploring the unknown, hold back his restless heart?

Fang Zhu, who was wearing protective gear, kept using various instruments to torture the ill-fated helmet. Fire, forging, high-pressure water gun impact, and powerful equipment lifting, the values ​​​​of which were constantly recorded in his notebook. He even cut off a corner of the helmet and put it in the furnace to observe and separate the molten iron that melted at different temperatures.

As for Sakichi, of course, what he was doing was testing the related properties of chakra.

Holding one end of the helmet in his hand, Saki silently gathered the water balls. To put it simply, it is the Rasengan training that Naruto has done. This is a ninjutsu without attributes, and the carrier determines its chakra attributes. A constantly rotating water ball appeared in Zoji's palm. As the four fingers bent and stretched, the water ball gradually changed into different shapes.

"Now try the effect of this thing." As the water ball gradually stabilized, Zoji used his free hand to stuff the fragments of the helmet into the gap between the water ball and his palm, "Hey"

When the water ball completely floated on the metal piece, Zoji clearly felt the opacity of chakra transmission.

As there was a problem with the chakra supply, Saki's sense of the water ball in his hand gradually lost. The water ball that lost control shot a large amount of liquid around, and its shape gradually became weird. A few seconds later, with a crash, the water ball Spreading in all directions, as the chakra dissipated, the moist liquid was finally lost in the air.

"Can block the perception of chakra" No, that is not accurate. To be precise, it can only be regarded as interfering with the perception of chakra. Saki knew the water ball was there from the beginning to the end, and it was just because he invested too little chakra that he eventually lost control.

"So, can it interfere with chakra control?" This time Zoji directly held the metal piece in his hand and rolled up the water ball.

Compared with the last time, it was extremely difficult to form a water polo. After a while, Zoji had given up his efforts.

"This thing can interfere with the condensation of chakra." This was his final answer. "Moreover, a lot of the chakra I sent to the water ball did not actually react on the water ball. In other words, it can also swallow chakra."

After repeated verification, Zoji could only get this answer.

On the other side, Fang Zhu also held the experimental report and walked over with a frown: "The results are out. The physical properties it exhibits are similar to those of ordinary alloys, but some of the substances I have never seen before, they should be some kind of Rare metals.”

Shaking a solid white metal block in his hand, Fangzuke handed it to Saki: "It's just that the quantity is too rare, and only a few grams have been extracted."

"That's enough." Saki held the metal block in his hand. Chakra rushed towards the metal block crazily, but no matter how hard he tried, he felt like he was drowning in mud. The chakra was really devoured, but with the continuous output of chakra, the metal block also felt saturated, and Saki could feel his chakra being dispersed into the air by this metal block.

"Phew, I think I have the answer."

The experiment proved that there is indeed something wrong with Saki's helmet. The simplest point is that this helmet can block the movement and condensation of chakra. This is probably the fundamental reason why he cannot use spiritual energy. If there is no way to condense chakra, even if there is such a thing as chakra, you cannot use escape techniques. Just like Xiao Li, chakra is a kind of cellular energy that everyone uses, but only Xiao Li cannot use it, so his talent is displayed in physical skills.

Wearing a helmet, Zoji is like half Xiao Li, unable to use his body's spiritual energy.

When he was a child, his inoperability probably happened when Saki took off his helmet. However, as he grows older, he has become accustomed to the helmet becoming his own symbol and rarely takes off his helmet. This leads to a waste of energy. Energy usage.

Another feature of the helmet is to swallow chakra. There is more intuitive evidence for this, and the idiot from the Kurama family is the best evidence. Now Saki finally figured it out. It was not because this guy was not good at studying that caused his illusion to last too short, but because his helmet absorbed the chakra he left in his head, which caused this The technique is unsustainable.

Following this line of thinking, Zoji finally figured out why this thing could be regarded as a family heirloom.

Obviously, during the Warring States Period, the impact of ninjas on samurai was too great. If the escape technique was still a traceable method of attack, then the genjutsu almost sentenced the samurai to death. We all know that the most effective way to deal with genjutsu is to have two types of chakra in the body at the same time, such as when tailed beasts host. But the samurai obviously couldn't complete this task, so they thought of another way to directly isolate the illusion from the body.

Refining chakra is not very difficult. Just like the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, they can also use chakra-powered armor.

Those warriors who learned to refine chakra naturally also made efforts to defeat ninjas, such as looking for materials that can block chakra.

This metal is obviously one of the results, but because it is too rare, the samurai can only mix it with ordinary metals and make it into a protective gear to protect the head, which is the target of the illusion.

As time goes by, the Hidaka family, who are far away from the battle, have forgotten the role of the helmet. It is only passed down from generation to generation as a symbol of the family.

Fortunately, this is an old item and has not been well preserved. If it had been a complete helmet, Yamanaka Haiichi might have discovered the problem when he checked Sakichi's head.

This thing is a good thing for samurai, but for ninjas, it is definitely a double-edged sword.

At the same time, it turns out that the incomplete helmet has very weak defense against illusions and cannot turn the tide of the battle at all. Sakichi didn't have any more materials to repair this thing, so it didn't mean much to Sakichi. Rather than sacrificing half of his chakra, it might be more useful to make this thing into something else.

ps: Thank you to the readers of Forgot Pi Melody for the 1000 starting coin reward, and thank you to the frozen fish Yixiao Laotie for the reward. To be honest, I originally wanted to put it on the shelves when I was in the Land of Waves, but it would be nice to be able to recommend it. After chapter 90, there will be another small climax, and these two chapters are a transition.
