Chapter 24: Forbode

But of course, Gaara is not completely ignorant on how to begin with this plan. As a modern man who came from the world where information knocks on people's doorsteps, he has a fair share of knowledge with him that can be used to speed up the process.

…

Gaara recruited the best minds in the village and with his knowledge, he gave them a blueprint of a simple generator.

The first time they heard of it, they were amazed and fascinated. Their job is to integrate this machinery into a huge turbine in order to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy that will power the generator to produce electricity.

After tinkering for 2 months, they managed to create the first prototype. With Gaara's control over minerals, it didn't even take seconds to create the body of the windmill that can withstand even a tailed-beast bomb, he is like a human 3d printer with cheat codes. The only problem was finding the necessary materials for the generator itself but with Gaara's searching ability that was hardly a problem.

Right now, outside the facility there are 10 of these reddish towering turbines that were only limited because of the space in the area. Nevertheless, the amount of electricity produced is insane. With a sealing scroll, not a spec of the energy is wasted when storing it.

Gaara was looking up at these wind turbines as tall as a tailed beast. A sight to behold, enough to be a tourist attraction.

He sensed someone approaching him and directed his gaze.

"Kazekage-sama. We've finished the construction of the wind turbines. We've also maximized the effectiveness of the generator. There seems to be no problem at the moment, everything is going smoothly as planned." A middle aged man said.

"That's good. You all did a great job, Takao-san." - (Gaara) complimented the man who's also the head of the construction and maintenance team.

"Haha. If anything, you did most of the job my lord. I didn't even imagine a power of such scale would be possible.

I-I'm afraid, even if 2 of the 5 great villages attacked us at once, they wouldn't be able to lift a finger once we've successfully weaponized this thing.

S-such calamity it could bring if we were to create more of this. A truly terrifying weapon that can rival the tailed beast." - (Takao) said as a chill ran down his spine.

"Hahaha, don't worry. I don't plan to create a weapon of mass destruction out of this thing to begin with. We've already got me and Shukaku. It has better uses than just weapons." - (Gaara) chuckled and reassured the man.

(Gaara) narrowed his eyes and continued - "…But, if the worst comes to worst, I hope you will understand me. I will not hesitate to use such power to obliterate our enemy."

"Thank you, Kazekage-sama. I hope there will be a time where such thoughts wouldn't even cross the minds of the people. Where peace reigns over violence." - (Takao) said as he looked at the night sky.

At every corner of the village there are clones situated. Even the one at the facility is a clone. With no way of detecting Zetsu, all he could do was to spread his hands and feet all over the village.

It's no use tracking that guy's presence, rather, he should just focus on any disturbances in the surrounding. His <<spooky action at the distance jutsu>> also made it easy to map a 3d model and monitor the whole of Suna inside his mindscape in real time, serving as his ears and eyes. A terrifying scouting ability that can cover far distances.

As of now, the real Gaara is sitting here behind the desk, planning and designing another invention.

On the other side of the room, another figure was laying on the sofa adjacent to the door and feet propped on the small table, like it was his house.

The figure has long yellowish-brown hair that looks like a lion's mane and a flame like eyebrows and beard that has the same color as his hair. His sclera is black like an abyss, golden irises and black shuriken like pupils with 4 black dots around it. He has skin like that of his hair with lighter shade covered with tattoos all over his body. His physique is like a molded rock and a huge build that gives off a terrifying aura around him. He wears a black long-sleeved cloak with golden linings that looks like they are about to burst from his muscles. He wears black long anbu pants and black sandals. He doesn't wear any shirt, exposing his bare tattooed muscular and imposing upper body.

But contrary to his appearance, he has a childish expression on his face that looks really annoyed at the puzzle he is holding. Suddenly, he rose up from the sofa and dropped the toy that looks like a cube, a rubik's cube, made by Gaara.

With him now standing, his head almost reaching the ceiling. He is 2 and a half meters in height.

"Kid, I suddenly have a foreboding feeling." - The towering figure said.

His demeanor completely changed with the seriousness left on his face.

Gaara put down his pen and looked at the figure in front of him.

"Hm? What's the problem?" - (Gaara) inquired.

(Gaara) narrowed his eyes after seeing the expression on the man's face.- 'This is the first time Shukaku showed such an expression.'

"Looks like someone is cooking behind the scenes." - (Shukaku) said.

"What made you say so?" - (Gaara)

"My severed connection with the Gedo Mazou was regained for a moment and disappeared again. That shouldn't be possible, that demonic shell was sealed by the old man inside the moon. I don't know if this was the first time but since it's not that long when I was able to freely go in and out of your seal, I'm only able to sense it now." - (Shukaku) explained.

"What are you talking about?" - This was a genuine question from (Gaara). He needs to very some information in the anime before he makes his move.

"Looks like I need to tell you some story. It's probably for the best." - (Shukaku) said and told everything to Gaara about the sage of six paths.
