Hokage building, conference room.

A group of people sat around a circular conference table, and everyone's expression was more or less grim.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Koharu and Mito Monobu, who moved to the advisory group.

The elder Shimura Danzo.

In addition to these four people, there are also ninja leaders who can participate in decision-making, such as Hyuga Hizashi, the leader of the Hyuga clan, Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Nara clan. Even among the very few jounin, they all have real power in Konoha.

of elites.

"Let's all share our opinions on how we should handle this matter..."

The first person to speak was the Third Hokage Hiruzen. He was holding a simple talisman in his hand. A warm power was constantly conveyed from the talisman. This kind of warm chakra was Yang with healing power.

Properties Chakra.

However, because the outline of the talisman paper was too rough, the Yang attribute chakra was leaking out bit by bit and could not be preserved for a long time.

But even so, it can't resist the light deep in everyone's eyes.

Because everyone here knows that this seemingly simple talisman paper, once thrown into the commercial market of the ninja world, can cause an uproar and Konoha's power will become more stable.

Even the strategic level can be further improved to greatly reduce the sacrifice rate of Konoha ninjas.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity for each ninja clan to make huge profits.

This kind of opportunity is something that no political group represented by the Ninja clan is willing to miss.

This is why Hiruzen didn't want to hide it after Kakashi reported the medical talisman.

Because I can't hide it.

With the power and resources he has at his disposal, he simply cannot swallow the medical talisman for himself.

Moreover, if this kind of thing is concealed, it will only cause the relationship between many ninjas and the Hokage to become alienated, making the political environment within Konoha even worse.

Rather than doing something thankless, Hiruzen hopes to attract more power through this matter and pave the way for the next five generations of Hokage.

"This matter is of great importance. This little girl named Haruno Sakura should be protected by specialized personnel and all channels that may leak information should be blocked."

Xiaochun, the member of the advisory group, spoke up and expressed his suggestions.

"So, who's going to be responsible for this?"

Hiruzen asked.

After going to bed, Xiaochun did not respond.

Although she wanted to say that this matter could be handled by an advisory group as neutral representatives, it would be too ugly.

Moreover, so many ninja forces are also eyeing him, and just how to distribute the benefits is enough to give them a headache.

"I have a different opinion on this matter."

A voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes vaguely glanced towards the position of the Hyuga clan, and the person speaking was none other than Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan.

Not to mention the strength of the elite Jonin themselves, the power of the Blood Successor Ninja Clan is more intimidating than the pure secret art Ninja Clan in every aspect.

Hiruzen didn't respond, but his eyes were already signaling Hiruzen to continue speaking.

Rizu was not polite. Under the gaze of everyone, he said calmly: "We have already seen the medical talisman. Although the value has not been determined yet, once it is made into a finished product, I think it will not disappoint. So.

, the only question is... does this little girl named Haruno Sakura have the ability to perfect this kind of medical charm?"

Hizu's words also resonated with Nara Shikaku. He took a deep breath and said: "Yes, I agree with the Hizu clan leader's point of view. At present, we are not sure whether Haruno Sakura has the ability to further improve the medical talisman.

We have seen that the current medical talismans are crude and crude, and there is no way they can pass the test of the market, let alone make profits from them. On the contrary, we have to inject research funds into this and mobilize a large number of medical ninjas and those who are good at sealing techniques.

Ninja."

In fact, Lu Jiu also had his own considerations about this matter.

He just said this to divert the attention of others.

Because the specific benefits of the medical talisman have not yet been determined, it would be too much nonsense to divide them here.

Although Shikaku is not a businessman, his family is also rich in medicinal materials, and he also understands some business concepts.

The prospects for medical talismans are indeed broad, but they are only prospects after all.

As long as it is not confirmed to be a fact, you can only invest in the early stage and wait for time to test.

Just like the so-called genius, an immature genius is just a genius, and a grown-up genius is a truly powerful person who is respected by others.

"As for capital injection, there should be some reserve funds for this year."

Mito Menyan said.

"It was deliberately stored for emergencies and should never be used unless there is an emergency."

Hiruzen rejected this suggestion.

Although the Daming Prefecture has provided great support to Konoha in recent years, there is still an upper limit on development funds.

As long as the threat from the Kingdom of Ghosts remains unresolved, Konoha's general direction will still be to develop its military strength instead of shifting its development center and investing its energy in the medical industry.

Because even Hiruzen is not sure how long it will take for the medical talisman to be available.

Is it one year, three years, or ten years?

The formation of a technology and the affirmation of the market are far from being solved by a few words.

Time, talent, capital, and equipment all require a large investment.

Today's Konoha not only lacks military power, but also lacks technical talents.

In addition, the industrial reserves must also keep up, so the establishment of a special research project on medical talismans will once again hollow out Konoha's heritage.

Hiruzen needs to weigh the pros and cons of these.

The most important thing is that because Haruno Sakura is Kakashi's student, and what Kakashi reported to him is very detailed, the medical talisman is just a product accidentally invented by Haruno Sakura. Can Haruno Sakura continue to further improve the defects of the medical talisman?

Making it a finished product, as Hiashi and Shikaku put it, is fraught with uncertainty.

In order to attach great importance to the enhancement of military strength, Konoha's development funds are already tight. Konoha has to invest Konoha's capital in a twelve-year-old girl. Success is good, but if it fails... then it is not a joke. Konoha

The development is likely to be temporarily stalled for this reason.

The current international situation is a critical moment where time is racing against time. Every step taken may result in a huge gap in national strength, putting Konoha into an unfavorable situation.

Even if you want to take a chance on Haruno Sakura, you need to carefully consider how much money to invest, and you cannot put all your hopes on a twelve-year-old genin.

"If this is the case, the clan leaders can allocate some funds from their own family industries. This is also for the future of the village. Afterwards, according to the funds provided by each family, the annual resource allocation will be tilted accordingly.

.”

Xiaochun said after going to bed.

But her eyes were focused on Rizu.

As a ninja clan with a long history like Uchiha and Senju, even if some ninjas in the family split away, their strength would only be damaged, but the family's heritage would still remain.

Especially the family industry controlled by the Hyuga clan, the wealth accumulated by the family, even the alliance of ninja clans such as Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi may not be able to match it in terms of wealth.

This is the essential difference between the blood succession limited family and the general ninja clan.

Although the Hyuga clan is relatively low-key in Konoha now, in many cases, there is no way to ignore the extremely crucial vote of the Hyuga clan.

"Sorry, I can't place trust in the abilities of a girl who is only twelve years old. If Tsunade-sama is in charge of this project, I believe that my tribe and I will agree, but we have to place such hope on a little girl.

It would be too risky.”

Rizu did not continue speaking, but closed his eyes, the meaning self-evident.

If the huge funds of the Hyuga clan were to be used to gamble on a twelve-year-old girl, even the Hyuga clan would not agree to this.

"But she was the first to make the medical talisman, and her idea is crucial. We cannot deny this. Besides, we can set up another specialized project team to work on both sides at the same time."

Xiaochun went to bed and continued.

"Then it will be divided into two project teams, and the Hyuga clan's funds can only be allocated to the second specialized project team. In short, every share of the Hyuga clan's funds is hard-earned. Now the village is in short supply of materials in all aspects.

It’s better to develop in a safe way.”

Striving for stability in everything is in line with the Hyuga clan's governing strategy.

The Hyuga clan was betting on Haruno Sakura to make a medical talisman. It was just a flash of inspiration and could not lead to any achievements afterwards.

Because product research is full of uncertainties.

Although Haruno Sakura's uncertainty may lead to the medical charm being released in advance, it is more likely that it will disappear from everyone later.

The risks involved are too great, and the current international environment is extremely tense. Not only the village, but also the Hyuga clan that relies on the existence of Ninja Village must take protective measures and use every fund wisely.

After hearing Rizu's views, the patriarchs of each family also remained silent, and no one spoke up to express their views.

They are also thinking about the gains and losses.

The creators of products are difficult to ignore no matter what, because genius ideas are always unique. Often a fantastic idea may solve a problem that has troubled others for a long time.
