Chapter 497 Black oil = petroleum?

With the finished airship, it can be quickly copied. Who can resist such a great temptation?

Who can withstand it?

Anyway, Maki couldn't stand it and expressed his position on the spot.

"The Sand Village agrees!"

Upon hearing this, the other three looked at Maki unhappily, but they couldn't do anything about him.

Because although they tacitly agreed to advance and retreat together, they did not have any agreement, so it was not impossible for them to do so.

"Konoha agrees too!"

Nara Shikaku also nodded.

Since there was no way to get more benefits, he would naturally agree.

Although the order given to him by the village leaders was to find a way to squeeze out the maximum benefits.

But he is not stupid.

If they really did that, the village or the top leaders would gain huge fame and benefits, but what does this have to do with him and the Nara clan?

On the contrary, if he really did that, he would offend Dohei and the castle tower to death.

It can be said that you get the benefits and I bear the hatred.

There have been people like this before.

White Fang and the Senju Clan!
But all the major ninja clans in the village saw what happened to the other party.

Therefore, even Nara Shikaku, a staunch "Hokage", may have his own little plans.

After all, he is not alone, the Nara clan is behind him.

The Naruto series doesn't just include F4.

At the beginning, Nara Shikaku and the others, Ino-Shika-cho, openly supported Namikaze Minato. If it weren't for the Night of the Nine-Tails, they would not have supported the Third Hokage again.

Do they really think they admire Sarutobi Hiruzen?

The major ninja clans are very clear about the opponent's methods and styles.

The food looks so ugly!

The last Ninja World War put all the major ninja clans in a difficult position. Now they have not yet recovered, which means they have no better choice, otherwise they would have to re-elect the Hokage in minutes.

In the original plot, the performance of the major ninja clans during the Chunin Exam has already well illustrated the dissatisfaction of the Naruto ninja clans with F4.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where the Four Purple Flame Formation couldn't be broken. At the same time, as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen died, all the major ninja clans immediately took action and easily defeated the Sand Ninja.

It's simply a clear performance!

Therefore, Nara Shikaku's behavior at this time was completely reasonable.

If you really use your own family as a stepping stone to gain benefits for the village leaders, then you are crazy.

With Maki and Nara Shikaku expressing their opinions, Huangtu and Dodai had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Okay!"*2
As for the Mist Ninjas who did not come, no one was worried that the other party would not agree, as this was a free benefit.

Thus, this far-reaching collaboration was achieved.

Ninjas are not businessmen, so it is not surprising that they are so efficient. If they were businessmen, it would be normal to negotiate for ten days or half a month.

Of course, the four of them also understood that this 10% purchase share was not so easy to get.

The pressure in the future will also have to be shared with the castle tower.

But compared to the benefits, this price is nothing.

"By the way, there is a kind of raw material that is extremely critical for the airship, and I need your help to purchase it!"

After the share was agreed upon, Tang Ping threw out the biggest problem.

Yes, if you can't solve some problems for yourself after taking the benefits, what's the use of you?

Originally he was planning to cooperate secretly with the Sand Ninjas, but now that the five major ninja villages have been tied to the warship, he naturally doesn't need to be polite.

What's more, black oil has a special feature.

Burning stickiness!
It can be used as a key material for incendiary bombs.

The horror of incendiary bombs was demonstrated during the previous attack on the Hidden Mist Village.

But that version is too expensive!
With black oil, it is entirely possible to produce a more powerful and cheaper incendiary bomb to fill the gap in air-blast bombs.

Air-burst bombs are good in every aspect, but the quantity and price are too high. Even the castle tower cannot withstand such consumption.

As for things like incendiary bombs, although they have little effect on ninjas, it is not surprising that they have no chance of hitting them given their low mobility.

But for buildings and slow targets, that's exaggerated.

For example, ships!

If incendiary bombs are used against ships, the effect will definitely not be much weaker than air-blast bombs.

Black oil only has a weakened flammability, but it is not incombustible. It can even burn on the water surface and walls. It is absolutely the best material. Therefore, the major ninja villages are asked to help get black oil. In addition to being used as a material for refining airship gas, it can also be used to store materials for incendiary bombs.

"What material is it?"

Nara Shikaku asked urgently.

Because if it is really an indispensable item for the airship, then its value would be too high.

Just look at Bird Country.

It was originally just a poor and remote area, and even the daimyo had fled to other places. However, because of the presence of bird droppings, it became a battlefield between two major ninja villages, and they fought for it even with rivers of blood. This shows its value.

"I want as much black oil as I can find at the junction of fire and wind!"

When Dohei was studying under Orochimaru, he also studied black oil.

It was found that except for the fact that it could not serve as engine fuel, there were no problems in other aspects. It is definitely an extremely important raw material.

In addition to being used for refining gas and incendiary bombs, black oil is also the raw material for manufacturing plastics, films, asphalt, and other products.

As for these technologies…? .

Sorry, in the ninja world it's all about 'thinking...', as long as you think it can work, there is no such thing as an impossible thing.

He can even revive the dead, travel through space, and even perform nuclear explosions manually. These little skills are no problem at all.

But... as the importance of black oil increases, no one knows how many people will die in the future.

If you refer to the world before you traveled through time, you will know how many wars were fought for oil. It would cost someone’s life to get this thing.

But Tang Ping did this on purpose to trick people.

Anyway, the more chaotic the ninja world is, the better. If it is not chaotic, how can the castle tower maintain its position?

It would be best if the Sand Ninja came into conflict with Konoha because of this. Then, the Konoha collapse plan in a few years would be able to go on as planned, and that would be the time for Dohei to annex the Sand Ninja.

Once they take down the Sand Ninja, together with the rapidly growing Mist Village, the five major ninja villages will occupy a small half. Together with their own castle tower, they will be able to compete with the ninja world immediately.

I can only say that Tang Ping's strategic vision is truly terrifying.

But who can blame him for having the advantage of 'prophecy'? He can simply turn on the whole map cheat.

In order to gain the advantage of prediction, he even sent Kabuto back to Konoha to continue acting as a 'spy', and Aburame Shino also returned to Konoha to go to school.

Everything, try to maintain the original plot as much as possible, so that his prediction advantage will be maximized.

After the Konoha collapse plan is completed, the Fourth Kazekage dies, and Ye Cang takes the position of Kazekage, that will be the time for the castle tower to be officially overturned.

"Leave it to us Sand Ninjas!"

Maki's eyes lit up and he immediately grabbed the job.

They have already tasted the sweetness of guano, and if oil gets involved, they will be full in an instant.

They even dared to invade the Fire Nation, so how could they retreat now that they have the chance?

"No, we, the Iwa Ninja, must be responsible for this matter!"

The loess is not dry anymore.

They were already extremely dissatisfied with the fact that they shared the profits from bird droppings with the Sand Ninja in the Land of Birds. If the Sand Ninja got the black oil business, how would they, the Rock Ninja, continue to play?

The Land of Earth is only separated from the black oil producing area by the Land of Rain, so there is no need to worry about the inconvenience of using loess.

It's just a rain country, let's do it.

Even though they had Hanzo, the 'demigod', they didn't take him seriously at all. If they weren't afraid of upsetting Konoha, they would have occupied him long ago.

The five major ninja villages are so domineering.

"Kuroyu is between our Konoha and Sand Ninja, too far from you Rock Ninja, so I won't bother you!"

Nara Shikaku spoke immediately.

Smart man!
He immediately pulled the Sand Ninja to his side. After all, if Konoha really dared to monopolize the area, the Sand Ninja would never agree, so it would be better to win them over to stop the Rock Ninja.

By blocking the Iwagakure ninja, Konoha has plenty of ways to gain the dominant position and the lion's share of the benefits in the cooperation between the two sides.

Dou Ping saw through Nara Shikaku's little trick at the first moment, but he didn't point it out. He just watched them perform.

Isn't this what he wants?

If the major ninja villages don't fight among themselves, they will attack the castle tower, so it is really necessary to throw out some interests to divide them.

In the end, even after the four of them left the office, they still hadn't come up with a specific plan.

What Tang Ping wanted was black oil, and he didn't care who delivered it.

After finishing these matters, he had an important thing to do next.

Star Ninja Village!

He will never give up that 'star'.
