"After the expansion is completed, we hope that the Uchiha clan will be given priority in receiving some medicinal materials."
The elders discussed it amongst themselves, as expanding the deer farm was no small matter.
We need to increase manpower, and we also need more material resources, such as fodder.
The Nara family has raised deer for generations, and deer antlers and related medicinal materials are an indispensable part of the Konoha medical system.
It also maintains the normal operation of the medical system.
Therefore, the Nara clan's position in Konoha was as secure as a mountain.
Unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan proposed investing as soon as they arrived.
The only condition for the exchange was priority supply, which was practically free.
It's like telling a fruit seller, "I'll double your shop space, and you can sell my fruit first from now on."
Shikaga narrowed his eyes and looked at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage was also taken aback by Kawasaki's move and frowned.
Lu He said calmly, "This is no small matter. I need to go back and discuss it with the clan."
Kawasaki was not bothered by Shika's delaying tactics.
He made a mark on the notebook and then said:
"We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to sponsor the Akimichi clan to increase our efforts in developing secret medicines."
"Strive to make it usable even for ordinary ninjas, reducing the probability of ninja casualties..."
"We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to support the Yamanaka clan to strengthen the research and application of secret techniques, so as to better serve in battle..."
"We, the Uchiha clan, are also willing to provide financial assistance..."
Kawasaki listed twenty or thirty families in one go.
In Konoha, besides the major clans of Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mitomon...
He mentioned all the other families with names and surnames.
The Hyuga family didn't mention it because Kawasaki had already sent a gift in advance.
The oil woman's family received funds to raise insects.
The Inuzuka family received funds to keep dogs.
Even Kurenai Yuhi's family, now reduced to just one member, received funding under the pretext of researching illusion magic.
Despite the Hatake family being a single-lineage family, they still received funding, ostensibly for swordsmanship research.
In short, Kawasaki is spending money like crazy.
His extravagance was simply outrageous; the investment projects he listed totaled at least several billion.
All the ninja clans were stunned by Kawasaki's wealth and power.
People are speculating about how much the Uchiha clan has earned over the years.
The Third Hokage felt a mix of emotions, and had considered that the Uchiha might try a roundabout way to achieve their goal.
After making money, they will try to win over the major clans of Konoha.
I didn't expect the Uchiha to be so direct, just throwing money around in a simple and crude way.
After reading the list, Kawasaki summarized:
"We hope that our meager strength as Uchiha can contribute to the prosperity of Konoha."
All eyes turned to the Third Hokage, to see how he would respond.
The third generation and the two advisor elders all had ashen faces.
Kawasaki's actions did indeed contribute to Konoha's development, but why were the four families ignored?
Doesn't their family's development require money?
It's free money, isn't it?
But the money belongs to the Uchiha family; they can give it to whomever they want. Anything you say now will only make you look foolish.
Similarly, if the Third Hokage prevented these families from accepting Uchiha investments, these families would certainly be unhappy.
The Uchiha clan is basically being given away for free, and it hasn't harmed Konoha's interests, so why shouldn't we accept it?
The third generation gripped his pipe tightly, gritting his teeth as he said:
"Since the Uchiha clan has shown such kindness, I thank you on behalf of all the clans of Konoha."
The third generation expressed their gratitude verbally, but their tone showed no trace of appreciation.
Kawasaki didn't care. This was a perfectly clear strategy. Could the third generation possibly stop others from making money?
The meeting then proceeded into a lengthy 980 session.
Everyone's minds were no longer on the agenda, compared to those trivial matters.
People were more interested in the details of the Uchiha's investment.
Seeing this, the third generation was extremely anxious, but had no choice but to adjourn the meeting.
Kawasaki didn't mention any of the families that were closely connected to the third generation.
While characters like Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka belong to the Naruto system...
However, all the families that had no conflict with the Uchiha clan were included in Kawasaki's list of beneficiaries.
As soon as the Third Hokage walked out of the conference room, the various ninja clans immediately surrounded him.
Even with a powerful family that has maintained good relations for three generations, such an investment would require consideration and discussion.
Those smaller clans that were declining couldn't care less about such things.
These small clans are declining for various reasons and are all in dire need of money.
After all, the most important thing in training ninjas is resources, followed by talent.
The cost of ninja tools alone is enormous.
As for the rare talisman, that's a luxury item for the wealthy.
Otherwise, the reward you receive for completing the task may not even cover the cost of the talismans.
Learning ninjutsu is also expensive.
In small families, the inheritance is limited, and there is no guarantee that every ninjutsu will be suitable for the next generation.
What to do? Pay for a manual and ask someone to teach you.
Some extremely difficult ninjutsu techniques cannot be mastered simply by being given a manual.
You'll have to pay a teacher to teach you step by step.
Those geniuses who can master ninjutsu instantly are extremely rare.
The gap between geniuses and ordinary people is not small.
Chapter 179 Kawasaki's Grand Project! The Eternal Kaleidoscope!
Everyone noticed that the Twelve Young Heroes possessed extraordinary skills, but no one noticed that these people either came from prestigious families or had encountered excellent masters.
They have no shortage of talent or resources.
Other small families or ordinary people don't have this kind of good fortune.
You should be grateful if your teachers don't treat you like servants.
When there are no missions, ordinary Chunin and Genin live a pretty tight life.
Ninjas live on the edge of a knife; risking their lives is commonplace, and getting injured is a frequent occurrence.
However, medical ninjas are very scarce and difficult to train, so most of them belong to Konoha Village.
Free treatment is only available for tasks assigned by the village.
If you get injured while taking on jobs yourself, you'll have to pay for your own treatment.
If there's someone in the team who knows some medical ninjutsu, even if they're self-taught.
That could save a lot of money, and might even save lives in a critical moment.
Therefore, even if medical ninjas aren't very skilled, there are still people who are happy to take them on missions.
Suffering tools cost money, and medical treatment also costs money.
If you get injured and can't get treatment, and can't continue taking on missions, what will you eat and drink?
Many small families are weak and rely on a few pillars to support them. If anything goes wrong, they will be gone.
The family immediately declined.
Ultimately, this all boils down to money.
word.
Now that the Uchiha clan has suddenly started spending money, how could these smaller clans not be excited?
Kawasaki waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and said:
"Those who are willing to accept investment from the Uchiha clan can go to the Uchiha territory and find our Fourth Elder, Yangping."
"We Uchiha never do anything superficial or engage in empty talk."
"There are no prerequisites. If you want to join, just send the money directly."
"For those who are not present today, I will arrange for someone to visit them."
"I still need to take Elder Fugaku for treatment, so I'll take my leave now."
The crowd spontaneously made way for Kawasaki to lead Fugaku away.
Many people rushed back to their families, while others began contacting those who were not present.
They plan to send someone to the Uchiha clan to see what's going on.
Kawasaki left with Fugaku, preparing to go find Orochimaru.
Let's see how Itachi's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is fused, and then settle Fugaku there while we're at it.
