Gorosei Yakushi stood on the precipice of his long-awaited revenge, the flickering glow of his underground hideout casting eerie shadows across his face. His eyes were sharp, gleaming with a twisted satisfaction as he watched the series of old-style box screen display monitors; displaying the chaos he had unleashed in the Gold District. The Mining puppets, once simple tools for extracting precious minerals from deep within the earth, had become his instruments of vengeance, their once benign programming overwritten by his malicious genius.
For years, the Gold District had prospered, its wealth flowing freely, but for all its luxury, it had turned its back on him. The denial of his loan request was not merely a financial setback; it was a personal affront, a rejection of his intellect, and a dismissal of his potential. They had chosen to ignore his brilliance, and now they would pay dearly for their shortsightedness.
With a subtle hand movement, Gorosei adjusted the chakra seal tags, his deft fingers manipulating the intricate symbols with ease. Each tag was a masterpiece of sealing techniques, originally designed to harness the raw energy of the Mining puppets. But Gorosei had repurposed them, injecting his chakra into them, and Gorosei was able to take control. Now, these Mining Puppets were driven by a singular purpose: destruction.
As the chakra-infused commands surged through the puppets, their once steady movements became erratic, jerking and twitching with a terrifying unpredictability. The miners, who had worked alongside these puppets for years, were caught off guard. What had begun as a routine day in the depths of the earth quickly spiraled into a nightmare. The puppets, their eyes glowing with a sinister lamp-like glow, turned on the very people they were meant to assist. Their tools, designed for mining and excavation, became weapons of slaughter, hacking and slashing at anything within reach.
Gorosei could almost hear the screams echoing through the caverns, the panic spreading like wildfire as the miners scrambled to escape the unbiased onslaught. He imagined the metallic clangs of pickaxes meeting stone, now accompanied by the sickening sound of flesh being torn apart. The earth itself seemed to shudder under the weight of the carnage, the stability of the tunnels compromised as the frenzied puppets tore through support beams and caused cave-ins. The once mighty tunnels of the Gold District began to collapse, crushing the trapped miners beneath tons of rubble.
Yet, it wasn't just the immediate destruction that brought a twisted smile to Gorosei's lips. He had calculated every variable, every possible outcome, and ensured that the chaos would only escalate. The subterranean passages, riddled with veins of underground rivers, began to flood. Water, once a lifeline for the miners, now turned against them, filling the tunnels with alarming speed. The puppets, unbothered by the rising water, continued their rampage, their madness unchecked as they slashed through the panicked miners, driving them further into the rapidly flooding depths.
Gorosei's mind, always calculating, envisioned the scene in vivid detail: miners, their cries for help drowned out by the relentless roar of the flooding waters, clinging to whatever they could find in a desperate bid for survival. Some would be swept away, their bodies lost to the depths, while others would meet a far more gruesome fate at the hands of the crazed puppets.
All the while, Gorosei watched, detached and emotionless, his heart hardened by years of rejection and bitterness. This was his retribution, a statement to the Gold District, and beyond that his genius could not be ignored. They had denied him, and underestimated him, and now they would face the consequences of their arrogance.
But even in his moment of triumph, Gorosei knew that this was only the beginning. The crisis in the Gold District would not go unnoticed, and soon, a response team would be dispatched to deal with the situation. He anticipated it, welcomed it even. Let them come, he thought with a cruel smirk. He had planned for this too, his mind already racing with contingencies and traps. The four-person squad they would send would walk into his web, and they would learn, as the miners had, that to cross Gorosei Yakushi was to invite ruin.
