Naruto: My Hiddden Village-Chapter 29: A Farewell to the Valley

As soon as he arrived at the underground laboratory, Tsubasa immediately exclaimed joyfully to all his clones who were working.

"Research breakthrough? In what research field?" he asked in a loud and enthusiastic tone, his voice echoing in the usually silent laboratory space.

"Don't tell me we've managed to create a time machine!" he quipped jokingly, although in his heart he hoped the surprise that awaited would be even more sensational than just a time machine.

Hearing Tsubasa's exclamation, all his clones turned their heads in unison.

The sight of dozens of identical faces staring at him with calm yet curious expressions always felt strange, but Tsubasa was used to it.

One of them, the clone tasked with recording all research progress, immediately approached him. This clone always carried a thick notebook and a quill pen, looking like a medieval scientist who had wandered into a modern laboratory.

Meanwhile, the clone who had accompanied him to the laboratory immediately left the room, returning to his duty of maintaining laboratory security.

"So loyal, like a guard dog," Tsubasa thought amusedly, watching the clone's back receding.

If that clone could read his main body's mind, he would surely kick him with a Kamen Rider-style kick.

The research-recording clone who had just arrived immediately explained the research breakthrough that had been achieved.

Good news came in an unrelenting flood. "Main body, there are several very exciting pieces of good news today," said the clone in a formal tone, opening his notebook and starting to read the report.

"First, we have successfully improved 'Venom's' ability to influence the subconscious of targets." The clone explained quite excitedly, starting the explanation with an achievement that they had all been eagerly awaiting.

"Venom 'brainwash'... finally done!" Tsubasa exclaimed inwardly, his eyes sparkling impatiently to hear the details.

The clone explained that the latest version of 'Venom' was now capable of this.

The method of use was also quite simple and inconspicuous.

"Just attach a little 'Venom' to the target, and... voila! They become easily controlled," the clone explained in a proud tone, as if he were a magician who had just performed a dazzling magic trick.

This news made Tsubasa's eyes sparkle.

The potential applications of 'Venom' becoming wider made him even more enthusiastic to learn more about the increasingly refined 'Venom'.

"This Venom is truly a versatile ninjutsu. It can be a weapon, it can be a means of transportation, and now it can be a 'political' tool too," Tsubasa thought in admiration, realizing how versatile his creation ninjutsu was.

"The working method is to separate a small part of 'Venom' and attach it to the target." The clone continued his explanation about the subconscious mind-controlling 'Venom'.

"Like attaching a small 'chip' to the target's body," Tsubasa thought, imagining himself as a secret agent on an important mission.

"'Venom' that is attached to the target will soon change color to resemble the target's skin color, so it will not arouse suspicion." Continued the Clone.

"Perfect camouflage, like a ninja chameleon," Tsubasa murmured in awe at 'Venom's' adaptability.

"Then, 'Venom' will produce a special substance that will enter the target's body and influence their subconscious. The influence of this 'Venom' will make the target more easily agree or say something according to your wishes." The clone ended his explanation.

"Like hypnotic suggestion... but ninja version," he thought again.

Although not as powerful as Kotoamatsukami, the effects were significant enough for certain purposes.

Tsubasa planned to use this version of 'Venom' to influence the subconscious minds of nobles and daimyo.

A subtle tactic to smooth the way for his future plans.

"Mind control... a frightening yet tempting power," Tsubasa thought, realizing how dangerous this new power could be if it fell into the wrong hands.

Control over the rulers would have a major influence on the establishment of his ninja village and the infrastructure projects he planned.

Tsubasa imagined how easy it would be for him to get support and approval from the rulers with the help of this subconscious mind-controlling 'Venom'. "Just stick 'Venom', whisper 'agree... agree... agree...', and... done!" he thought, chuckling, imagining a comedy scene as he 'brainwashed' the daimyo and nobles.

However, he also realized that the use of this power must be done wisely and carefully.

"Great power... great responsibility," Tsubasa murmured, recalling the cliché but still relevant proverb.

Abuse of power could cause problems later on.

He was determined to use this 'Venom' only for good purposes and for the advancement of his village, not for personal gain or to oppress others.

With the subconscious mind-controlling 'Venom', Tsubasa felt increasingly confident in realizing his vision of a dream ninja village.

"My ninja village... is ready to dominate the world!" he thought excitedly.

The clone continued his report on research breakthroughs, this time regarding the creation of a steam engine to run trains.

Good news came again, as if unwilling to be outdone by previous achievements.

The results of his clone's research this time were even more surprising, besides successfully completing the creation of a steam engine, they also managed to replace the steam engine's energy source with chakra energy.

"Chakra-powered train engine... genius!" Tsubasa exclaimed inwardly, his eyes widening in disbelief.

This chakra-powered train engine was far more powerful and efficient than conventional steam engines. An extraordinary technological innovation, even exceeding his own expectations.

"This is no longer an ordinary steam engine... this is a 'supercharged' steam engine!" Tsubasa thought excitedly.

However, to realize a fully electric-powered engine, the clone said that it still required more time and further research. "Electricity... the next challenge... but definitely possible!" Tsubasa resolved, undaunted by the even greater challenge.

The third research breakthrough was the creation of a computer. Actually, it was not entirely accurate to say that they created a computer from scratch. It turned out that in the ninja world in this era of chaos, there were already computer prototypes, but they received less attention and further development.

A surprising discovery for Tsubasa.

"Computers in the Sengoku era of the ninja world? Who would have thought!" Tsubasa thought in amazement, feeling like he had found a high-tech treasure in the medieval era.

When Tsubasa first learned about the existence of these computer prototypes, he immediately met their creator and intended to buy all of his research results, even wanting to invite the creator to move to his village later.

However, unfortunately, the computer's creator had passed away.

"A genius inventor in the wrong era... what a pity," Tsubasa thought with concern.

Tsubasa only managed to meet his children, who turned out not to appreciate their father's discoveries much.

"Children who do not know how valuable their father's legacy is," Tsubasa thought disappointedly.

When Tsubasa expressed his interest in buying their father's research, the children readily sold it. They even offered other research conducted by their father, like street vendors hawking their wares.

This made Tsubasa even more concerned about the lack of appreciation for science in this era, but on the other hand he was grateful to be able to buy the research results cheaply.

Finally, in addition to computer research, Tsubasa also bought two other researches from the inventor's children, namely research on incandescent lamps and thread and fabric making machines.

"Unexpected bonuses... incandescent lamps and textile machines... my ninja village will become the fastest growing village compared to other villages!" Tsubasa thought happily, feeling like he had hit a major jackpot.

Profitable technology acquisition.

The clone explained that the computer they had replicated had been equipped with a picture-based operating system or GUI (Graphical User Interface).

A significant technological leap.

"GUI... finally this computer is no longer just a giant calculator box," Tsubasa thought in relief.

They had worked hard to improve the computer, which initially only functioned as a calculator-like calculation tool, into a modern computer with a user-friendly interface.

Although this computer was still the size of a wardrobe, this was a major advancement.

The initial step towards the digital era in the ninja world.

"Wardrobe-sized computers... sooner or later I will definitely be able to make everyone in the ninja world unable to live without smartphones like in my previous life," Tsubasa thought optimistically about the miniaturization of technology in the future.

Currently, Tsubasa's clones were trying to create a printer that could connect to a computer.

"Printer... so ninja computers can print documents and selfie photos," Tsubasa joked inwardly, imagining the usefulness of printers in the ninja world.

Printers would complement their computer ecosystem.

The last research breakthrough reported by the clone was the chakra activity-enhancing serum.

A revolutionary serum that has the potential to change the face of the ninja world. "'Chakra booster' serum... finally the dream of having an unlimited ninja army can be realized!" Tsubasa exclaimed excitedly, imagining his troops armed with this magic serum.

With this serum, people with poor ninja talent or even no talent at all could become ninjas with chakra power, although perhaps only at the Genin level.

"Genin... not bad for 'cannon fodder' troops," Tsubasa thought pragmatically, realizing the limitations of the serum.

Even though it only reached Genin level, this was already a remarkable achievement.

This serum opened up opportunities for anyone to become a ninja, unhindered by natural talent.

Even so, Tsubasa remained optimistic that he would be able to create an even stronger serum, which could increase ninja potential to a higher level in the future.

The dream of creating an elite ninja army was no longer just a fantasy. "Super ninja army... will definitely be created!" Tsubasa resolved, increasingly excited to face the future of his village.

Tsubasa listened to his clone's explanation with overflowing enthusiasm and happiness. Their research results were truly extraordinary and exceeded his expectations.

"My clones are all geniuses!" Tsubasa praised proudly, although they all relied on the 'Giant Brain', they were indeed hardworking.

The news of the research success came just in time, before their move to the new ninja village.

These technological innovations would certainly be valuable capital for building his dream village.

After thanking and encouraging all his clones, Tsubasa left the laboratory with a lighthearted and joyful heart.

He felt very proud of the hard work and dedication of his clones. "My clones are indeed hardworking... it was not in vain that I created them," Tsubasa thought, smiling with satisfaction.

Today, Tsubasa decided not to train with Ozora.

Because they were moving tomorrow, today was the time to pack the last of their belongings and prepare for departure.

"Last day in Takagami Valley... time to say goodbye to old memories," Tsubasa thought melancholically, realizing that he would be leaving the place that had been his home for many years.

The next day, in the bright morning, all members of the Takagami clan gathered outside the valley.

Several horse-drawn carriages had been prepared to transport goods and family members.

"Horse-drawn carriages... traditional but still romantic transportation," Tsubasa thought, imagining their journey later like a scene from a classic movie.

This time, Tsubasa chose not to use 'Venom' as the main transportation. He wanted to give the little children a chance to see the world outside the valley during the journey.

"The children must be happy to ride horse-drawn carriages, this is a new experience for them," Tsubasa thought, watching the children who looked enthusiastic about getting into the carriages.

A slow journey by horse-drawn carriage would be a new and enjoyable experience for the children, as well as giving them a chance to adapt to the outside environment.

The atmosphere that morning was filled with a mixture of joy and sadness.

Leaving Takagami Valley meant leaving behind home and past memories, but also opening a new Chapter full of hope.

"Goodbye Takagami Valley... see you again in the future," Tsubasa whispered inwardly, waving goodbye to the valley that had witnessed his family's joys and sorrows.

Well, although for him, he was not moving completely, because all his clones still lived in this valley to conduct their scientific research.

In addition, there were still some Karasuma clan members who were still imprisoned in this valley who required guarding from his shadow clones.

He had not had time to erase the memories of some of them to be transferred to a remote village that he would oversee according to plan, because he was busy with the move. So he would often come back here later.

Meanwhile, all other members of the Takagami clan were ready body and soul to move to their new ninja village. They might rarely return to this place, unlike him.

After all preparations were complete and everyone had boarded their respective carriages, Tsubasa gave the final command. In a loud and confident voice, Tsubasa gave the order to depart.

"Let's go!" he shouted, marking the start of a long journey to a future full of challenges and hopes. The horse-drawn carriages began to move slowly, leaving Takagami Valley, carrying with them all clan members towards the new ninja village that awaited them.
