Chapter 53: Explosive Tags: From Beginner to Master

"I've got all the materials listed on the thermobaric bomb design, so I can make the thermobaric explosive, but the problem is the ratio," Kenichi was in the lab looking at his own blueprint.

This blueprint was the thermobaric bomb design that Kenichi had obtained. Although it included other key steps, the ratio for the thermobaric explosive was not marked.

Kenichi stroked his chin, thinking about the thermobaric bomb. He had only seen such devices in movies and had never actually come into contact with them.

But he knew that their destructive power was formidable, especially against underground structures and the people within them.

Kenichi suspected that the PTSD suffered by Western soldiers due to jungle tunnel warfare led them to develop such a weapon.

However, it must be said that the power of thermobaric bombs is not to be underestimated. In his previous life, they were considered among the strongest of conventional weapons, of course, excluding nuclear arms.

"However, without the ratio, could it be because of the need to consider chakra?" Kenichi pondered.

What's the biggest difference between the ninja world and his previous life? Naturally, it's chakra, a very advanced form of energy.

Just look at those incredible ninjutsu; it's precisely because of chakra that this world has become so magical.

Then there's the power of the eyes, something completely inexplicable in his previous life, capable of pulling down meteorites, which seems quite outrageous.

So, after obtaining the design for the thermobaric bomb, Kenichi began to ponder whether it was possible to integrate chakra into the thermobaric bomb.

And if it really could be done, could the power of the eyes also be integrated into the thermobaric bomb in the future? What kind of weapon would that create? Kenichi was very curious.

However, Kenichi currently had no clue how to combine chakra with the thermobaric bomb, so he decided to look elsewhere for inspiration.

"I remember there should be a book 'Explosive Tags: From Beginner to Master' here," Kenichi went to the next room's data area, rummaged through it, and then took out a book.

Explosive tags, needless to say, are essentially a way to seal fire-style ninjutsu into specific papers for easy carrying and use.

There's no difficulty in controlling them.

There are also tailed beast sealing tags and even sage jutsu tags, showing that in the ninja world, it's possible to seal ninjutsu and even sealing techniques and sage techniques into paper.

So Kenichi planned to first study how to make explosive tags and then use this knowledge to try to create his own chakra thermobaric bomb.

Orochimaru watched his busy disciple running around and took a sip of tea. The disciple's temperament was quite good.

At least after knowing that he was in a 'weak' state, he did not think of betraying his master but was doing his own research.

In fact, Orochimaru was not in a weak state at all. After her disciple left, she immediately sealed the laboratory and performed a forbidden resurrection technique.

At first, she could feel the weakness of her soul, but now she was much better, and her strength had almost fully recovered. If Kenichi really made a move, she would mercilessly clean house.

"The Akatsuki organization, huh? The Rinnegan is said to be the eyes of a sage, with very powerful abilities," Orochimaru played with the ring on her hand.

But after looking at her body, Orochimaru felt a bit irritable.

There was a slight problem with the research on the forbidden resurrection technique. For some reason, during the process, the vessel suddenly shuddered.

The experiment required strict conditions, and although the vessel only shuddered, it affected her forbidden resurrection technique.

Now Orochimaru found that she seemed to be affected by the vessel's memories, which she thought she had almost completely erased, but after the shudder, some irrelevant memories resurfaced.

Fortunately, this did not affect her ability to disguise herself as before. She had previously used that appearance to test her disciple.

Now that the test was over, she could naturally return to her previous appearance.

So soon, there was no trace of Orochimaru's previous appearance, except that she became a bit shorter, but it was not very noticeable.

'Orochimaru, welcome to the Akatsuki organization.'

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded, and then Orochimaru felt darkness before her eyes, and then she stood in a strange place.

Orochimaru turned her head to look around. The place was dark, and it seemed she was not there in her own body, but in another form.

"Leader Pain, what is this technique?" Kenichi was also pulled over, and although he had seen it in Naruto before, experiencing it firsthand was quite novel.

"This is the ninjutsu we use for meetings and communication in the Akatsuki organization. Since it's your first time, we didn't inform you. Next time we will, before bringing you over," Pain said expressionlessly.

In fact, he brought them directly this time to demonstrate his power, as a subtle form of intimidation.

After all, these two rogue ninjas from Konoha were attending an Akatsuki meeting for the first time, though it was his own idea.

"Oh? So it is the Rinnegan," Orochimaru glanced at the person in front of her, whose eyes were so striking in the dark.

Those ripple-patterned eyes were unforgettable.

"From now on, use your ring names for internal communication within the organization," Pain said, not concerned with Orochimaru's question, confident in his own strength.

"Okay, Pain," Kenichi said with a smile.

"Konan, can my clothes be made cooler? Preferably like a trench coat," Kenichi then turned to another attendee.

"..." Nagato took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he felt like kicking Kenichi out. What's with that?

Orochimaru said nothing but watched with folded arms.

"...The organization's clothes are all the same, only the sizes differ," Konan held back for a moment before responding.

She had never encountered someone who cared about the style of their clothes. What's the use of looking cool? Does it help in battle?

Konan didn't understand.

"Ah, I think we can add something to differentiate, like..." Kenichi said cheerfully, while glancing at Pain out of the corner of his eye.

"Enough! Kenichi!" Nagato couldn't hold back any longer.

Kenichi shrugged and then made a zipping motion with his mouth.
