Chapter 19 - Black Gold

The movements are quite nimble, thanks to the sensible structural design and the use of aluminum alloy, a less dense metal, for all parts except the core components and external protective plating.

Another factor is the manipulation of Chakra Threads.

Having recently learned various techniques and methods for refining Chakra Threads from the Forbidden Jutsu, Qingshui's Puppet Manipulation skills have significantly improved compared to before.

Even if the Avatar's Chakra quality isn't as good as the main body's, it's still sufficient to drive the Puppet and enhance its flexibility.

It's just that when the Puppet is worn, it feels like I'm controlling myself.

"But... it's not bad. I just didn't expect the Avatar to create a B-Class combat-ready Puppet before the main body. This is largely thanks to the DC Universe being a modern world with a high level of technological and industrial development."

Qingshui was delighted.

Who didn't have a dream of a mech when they were a kid?!

Although this thing of his can only be considered half a mech, with the other half being a Puppet, and it's different from conventional mechs powered by high-energy batteries or small reactors, it still looks the part, doesn't it?!

Qingshui couldn't help but strike a few poses he thought were cool in front of the full-length mirror.

"With its black metal texture, this Puppet will be called Black Gold."

After playing around for a while, Qingshui now desperately wished for an inconspicuous villain to come knocking, so he could show off and humble them, just like those protagonists in webnovels.

What? I'm the villain?

Never mind then.

"Now that I have power, I can proceed with the next step."

Qingshui took off the Black Gold Puppet armor, his gaze drifting out the window towards the distance.

Why did he buy a house not far from the slums?

It was precisely because chaotic areas with high crime rates and weak police/government presence offer opportunities for him to fish in troubled waters and operate more easily!

In the Naruto World, Qingshui's main body is in one of the five most powerful ninja villages in the entire world. He can simply follow established procedures and climb the ranks within the existing system to gain Fortune. However, his Avatar in the DC Universe can't do that.

After all, he's a high-quality villain who graduated from Arkham Asylum. Even if he could infiltrate the government, there's a high probability he'd be investigated.

If Batman or Joker were to approach Penguin for information on Qingshui, Penguin, being a spineless individual, would sell Qingshui out completely in minutes.

This person is a gang leader and a businessman; in his eyes, there's probably nothing that can't be sold.

Furthermore, the DC Universe is full of talented individuals, and the difficulty of infiltrating the heroes' side is harder than ascending to heaven.

I'm already a villain, so why not stick with this profession to the end?

Especially in a place like Gotham, what a promising career villainy is!

Qingshui's next plan is to use his abilities to infiltrate the slums and establish his own gang, growing it step by step!

...

...

Naruto World.

While the Avatar was assembling the new Puppet, the main body also began the modification of Fatty.

The DC Universe has advanced technology and relatively abundant resources. It's easier for a ninja's abilities to acquire wealth and resources in the lawless areas of Gotham, but it's not the same here.

Raw resources might be abundant, but there's a huge technological gap compared to the DC Universe. Many resources cannot be processed into industrial materials. If you want to make something, you have to craft it by hand, one by one.

Qingshui disassembled both Tom and Fatty. He planned to retain part of Fatty's original frame, combine it with materials he had saved money to buy, and add the materials from disassembling Tom. This would be enough to upgrade Fatty into a Puppet no worse than Black Gold.

As for why Tom was disassembled, it's because even though Qingshui has achieved a certain level of mastery in the Forbidden Jutsu, he can still only control two Puppets simultaneously.

Currently, his Puppetry is at LV3 on his stat panel. Puppet Manipulation has met the requirements through the Forbidden Jutsu, and the moment the Avatar created Black Gold, his Puppet Crafting also met the requirements.

The direct result of this is a change in the "Ninjutsu" and "Seals" stats on his personal attribute panel.

Both Ninjutsu and Seals increased by one point, reaching 5 and 6 respectively.

The Little Boy Puppet is already a B-Class Puppet and can be used directly. The remaining two Puppets mean one extra that would go to waste. It's better to modify and reassemble it into a new B-Class Puppet.

Then, with Fatty and Little Boy, two B-Class Puppets combined, not to mention Genin, even among Chunin, his combat power won't be underestimated.

Currently, Qingshui's biggest weaknesses are his Taijutsu and Chakra reserves.

There's nothing he can do about it; he's still young. And unless he's from the Uzumaki or Senju clan, or possesses a special Kekkei Genkai, these two aspects can only slowly increase with age, proper nutrition, and training.

Fortunately, controlling Puppets with Chakra Threads doesn't consume a large amount of Chakra during battle.

And external armored Puppets like Black Gold can compensate for his weakness in Taijutsu, even turning close-quarters combat into an advantage.

Then, with the main body wearing the Fatty Puppet and the Little Boy Puppet deployed outside, one inner and one outer, one close and one distant, a basic combat system will be formed.

The modification process for the Fatty Puppet is largely similar to Black Gold: pneumatic pumps installed in the arms, the Senbon poison dart launcher from the mouth moved to the shoulder, a spring-loaded folding bladed weapon in the right arm, and Kunai launchers in the left arm.

This is primarily for launching Exploding Kunai, because Explosive Tags can't be attached to slender Senbon as it would affect their trajectory. Heavier and larger Kunai don't have this problem.

Overall, Qingshui is quite satisfied with the results of Fatty's modifications.

[Puppet Name]: Fatty

[Overall Parameters]:

Height: 1.84 meters

Weight: 78.22 kg

Materials: Reinforced wood, lightweight metal, reinforced biological bone...

Energy: None

Operation Method: Chakra Threads

*Puppet Rating*: B (B+)

*Overall Assessment*: An armored combat Puppet, an initial fusion of Puppetry and modern engineering. It boasts excellent performance, powerful close-range destructive capabilities, and some long-range attack ability. When combined with its Puppet Master, its combat effectiveness can be further enhanced.

In the Ninja World, especially the Sand Village, Puppet Masters have pushed the properties and usage of materials to their limits due to their extreme resourcefulness. They have references for using specific materials to achieve certain functions, unlike in the DC Universe where they are limited to industrial steel.

This is why the Fatty Puppet weighs significantly less than Black Gold and is more agile.

Additionally, Qingshui is only eleven years old, and his height is much less than that of the Avatar, which reduces the amount of material needed.

Furthermore, the Chakra conductivity of the materials is far superior to those haphazardly chosen metals, so it's normal for its overall rating to be a level higher than Black Gold.
