On the outskirts of Konoha Village, on the edge of a training ground, there is a huge boulder as tall as an adult. Under the boulder is an underground cave, which is Scorpion's No. 2 secret base.
In the hall of the base, a golden and white humanoid mecha about two meters tall was embedded on a shelf in the wall.
In front of the mecha stood five young men, both male and female. They were Xia, Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and Nonou.
"This is so cool! Scorpion!" Looking at the mecha in front of him, Yahiko trembled with excitement.
Not only Yahiko, but also Nagato beside him. The two boys were really unable to resist the temptation of the mecha.
Xiaonan and Nonoyu performed slightly better, but their eyes were full of surprise and appreciation.
Scorpion-kun is really amazing! He can actually make such a big and beautiful mecha.
"I originally made this mecha for Brother Kizaru, so you can join me and give it to Brother Kizaru!" Scorpion, who is very wealthy, has always been very generous to his friends.
"No!" He shook his head at Xie, and the excitement on Yahiko's face faded a bit, revealing a serious look.
He looked at Xie and said emphatically: "Xiao, we can't do nothing and take advantage of you. Although I don't have much money now, please tell me the cost of manufacturing the mecha. When we save enough money,
, will make it up to you."
At least in You Brigade's view, if it were allowed to enter the mecha and fight alongside Kizaru, it would be willing to accept it, and it could even be said that it would be very happy to accept it.
Xie also nodded in agreement, but still thought in his heart that when the matter was over, he would just not mention the money.
"Then let's go find Sister Youlu together!" Yahiko spoke at this time.
The price quoted by Xie not only scared Yahiko, but also several other people.
He walked out of the darkness, glanced at the children in the circle, and set his sights on the mecha directly in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, the tailed beast can leave the mecha and move around freely.
"However, even if there is no energy source, Brother Kizaru can rely on his own chakra to drive the mecha after putting it on."
Opening his wallet, Yahiko took out all the pocket money that he had prepared and saved. This was the plan he had made in his mind since he left Base 2 last time.
After saying that, Yahiko took out a frog wallet from his trouser pocket, which was a New Year's gift from Kizaru's brother.
"Xiao, how much is the total cost of this mecha?" Seeing Xiao accept the money, Yahiko smiled happily.
"Yes, the materials of the mecha are all fireproof." Xie nodded and agreed.
The tailed beast mecha solves this biggest problem. The tailed beast only needs to enter the mecha during battle and fight together with the ninja who controls the mecha.
In this way, the tailed beast's resentment and anger will be reduced a lot, and it will be able to communicate and cooperate better.
"I came to the base with you." After saying that, he looked at Shukaku, "Shukaku knew I was coming, but he didn't tell you."
"Jie, Jie, Jie! Why did Uncle Shukaku tell them?" Shukaku said disdainfully, holding his head high.
5 million! How long will it take for you to earn enough while waiting for others?
"The rest of the money is mine. My parents knew that I was preparing a gift for Brother Kizaru, so they gave me a lot of money." Xie said quickly, not wanting money to become a burden for his friends and himself.
With Scorpion's permission, Youlu's body turned into a stream of chakra, pouring into the crystal on the mecha's chest.
"Shukaku is a tailed beast, and so is Matata-nee. How about we discuss it with Matata-nee?"
In its thousands of years of traveling, Scorpio is the most innovative ninja it has ever encountered.
At the end, You Brigade controlled the mecha and jumped off the shelf on the wall, jumped to the ground, and did a few simple activities in front of the excited eyes of the children.
As a tailed beast, Matataru really understands the root reason why tailed beasts find it difficult to cooperate, and that is freedom.
Just as Xie was hesitating, the other three people also took out the money they had saved and handed it to Xie.
With a hesitant expression, Scorpio was thinking about whether he should accept this amount, which was equivalent to less than a week's worth of pocket money.
"You've done a great job!" You Lu said with praise.
Looking at the money handed over by his friends and the sincere smiles on his faces, Xie nodded silently and reached out to take the money everyone took out.
Understanding what Xie meant, several people nodded. Xiao Nan among them looked at Guan He, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
"More than 5 million!" Xie hesitated and quoted half of the true cost.
The difficulty of training a tailed beast mecha operator is much lower, and communication with the tailed beast is also much simpler.
After all, the resources and cost required to cultivate a tailed beast jinchuriki are simply too great.
Just as Yahiko finished speaking, another voice rang out from the passage connecting the exit at the back of the hall.
"Scorpion, has this mecha been built?" It was Nagato who asked. He looked at the tall and handsome mecha in front of him and wanted to see the actual combat effect.
This mecha is equivalent to transplanting the tailed beast jinchuriki into the mecha, so that the ninja wearing the mecha can borrow the tailed beast's chakra to fight like a jinchuriki.
Shukaku standing aside saw this scene and tilted his head arrogantly. The little money you all spent is not even enough to cover 10% of the cost of the mecha.
"Okay." Xie nodded and replied.
It can be said that the tailed beast mecha invented by Scorpion subverted the entire ninja world.
"What else is missing? Can we help?" Xiaonan asked with concern.
This kid, Scorpio, has really invented something amazing!
"Sister Youlv, when did you come?" Looking at Youlv walking in, Xiaonan, who had the best relationship with it, trotted up to it.
"No need to look for it, I'm right here!"
Others also nodded, and no one chose to give up because they had too much money.
After saying that, Xiaonan looked at Xie and asked: "Xiao, is this okay?"
Shukaku, this guy, can't speak except in front of Kizaru!
He complained to Shukaku in his heart, and walked through the crowd and walked under the mecha.
"Xiao, please accept it quickly! This is what we want!" Nagato took a step forward, walked in front of Xiao, and said with a smile.
Hearing Xie's words, Yahiko and others looked at each other with the same thought in their eyes, they couldn't take advantage of their friends in vain.
"We will work hard to make money later!" Yahiko clenched his fists and encouraged himself.
"There is still one energy source left," as he spoke, Xia looked at Shukaku next to him, "My own mecha relies on the energy provided by Shukaku. I haven't found a suitable one for Brother Kizaru's.
Energy source.”
"Can I go in directly?" You Brigade was also very curious about the mecha. It looked at Scorpion and asked eagerly.
From Scorpion's point of view, if the circle on the mecha's chest were smaller, it would look better and be more perfect.
"There are thirteen thousand yuan here, which is all my savings. Please accept it." Yahiko said loudly as he handed the money to Xie.
"Well! I originally wanted to make it smaller, but the sealing circle was too big. I compressed it a lot, but it's still a bit big." Xie said with some dissatisfaction.
Any life with its own thinking will not be willing to be imprisoned and become a weapon for others.
"There's still one thing missing." At this point, Xie's face showed a distressed expression.
The tailed beast will not be trapped in the Jinchuriki's belly forever, and can move freely during normal times.
After Youlu completely entered the crystal, its chakra flowed into the mecha's body along the lines designed by Scorpion. The eyes on the mecha's head lit up first, and then its arms started to move.
If other ninja villages knew about it, they would definitely fight for it.
Looking at the center of the mecha's chest, there was a yellow crystal circle the size of an adult's head, and asked again: "Scorpion, you carved the sealing circle into the crystal on the mecha's chest, right?"
With the continuous influx of chakra, the round crystal began to glow blue and became brighter and brighter.
The smile on his face froze, and Yahiko was frightened by the price quoted by Xiao, "You are really rich! Xiao!"
In the eyes of Scorpio, friends are much more important than money. Money will be replaced soon after it is used up, but if you lose one friend, it will be difficult for you to come back, and you will be very sad!
"The conductivity of chakra is good," Youlu's voice sounded from the mecha, "but the toughness of the material may not be enough. Kizaru's physical fitness is too strong, and the mecha may not be able to fully withstand it."
Hearing Youlu's evaluation, Xie did not refute, but directly took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and started recording it.
"Do you have any other questions?" After entering the research state, Scorpio's whole temperament instantly changed, becoming serious and a bit like being closed to strangers.
I will search online later to see if there are any pictures of mechas that match my imagination.
