Chapter 275 Uchiha Nan: Orochimaru is ill and Tetoki is dead. You must encourage him!
Konoha
Hokage Office.
There are several design drawings and design plans on Uchiha Nan's desk. Some of them were snatched from the Sky Ninja Village, and the other part was designed by Senju Tobirama himself. It is already close to a personal computer.
"These are computer design sketches. It is one of Konoha's key development directions in the future and a key part of Konoha's third development plan. Konoha must seize the initiative in this field!"
"Now all the technical difficulties are here. The Sky Ninja Village invented the initial machine from scratch. It took a total of six years from here to here, and the improvement plan took another four years. We in Konoha don't have so much time to waste. The faster the better."
Uchiha Nan said this while looking at the two people in front of him. One of them was Orochimaru, the direct disciple of Senju Tobirama.
The other is Hiruko, the technical backbone of Konoha's Science and Technology Department.
"Hokage, I've been very busy lately, you know. I've never liked researching these things. These are the research projects given to me by my master. I'd rather spend my precious time on these projects."
Orochimaru frowned, and there was a hint of evasion in his words, and he was just short of saying "I don't want to do it" out loud.
He still prefers to study forbidden techniques with his master, explore the mysteries of the human body, and... those studies on scientific ninja tools make Orochimaru feel very boring, but the Hokage values him, so he can only obey the Hokage's orders.
But recently.
Tobirama Senju outsourced part of his research to Orochimaru, including genetic research on Hashirama's cells, the Sharingan, the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, and Uzumaki, as well as human body modification. All of these hit Orochimaru's g-spot, and he has begun to risk his life on these experiments.
Let him spend his precious time on the research of scientific ninja tools.
He really couldn't do everything.
Orochimaru cannot be like his master, Tobirama Senju, who uses three-digit clones every day and works 24 hours a day. Now he is tortured by Uchiha Izuna on a daily basis. It is simply like living in hell.
He also needs to eat, sleep, and occasionally use his shadow clone to do work while considering his body's endurance.
Orochimaru felt that his body was too weak. What if he couldn't hold on one day? If he died young, he would definitely be pulled back from the Pure Land by the Hokage to continue working for Konoha.
Recently, Orochimaru has been thinking about whether to make some changes to his body. He has had this idea for a long time, but he has been hesitant. And there are excellent materials in the laboratory. This really makes him...
"Hokage-sama, I don't have any so-called preferences. What Konoha needs is what I like!"
Hiruhu glanced at Orochimaru with dissatisfaction in his eyes, opened his mouth and spoke loudly, showing his loyalty.
He is just a mere Orochimaru, yet he dares to refuse the request of the Hokage.
Really not loyal at all!
You are unworthy of the kindness that Lord Hokage has shown you!
Why does Hokage-sama value you more?
Obviously
My scientific research talent is no worse than yours!
There is never peace within Konoha. Even without talking about those dark missions, the fight for funds within Konoha has never stopped. No matter how rich Konoha is, it will only allocate the best resources to talented children.
Especially the talent of being a ninja
The first thing that Konoha's top leaders value is the strength of the ninja. You must be able to fight and have good combat power to be qualified to enter Konoha's power layer.
Hokuro's ninja talent can only be described as average. If he doesn't do something tough on himself or come up with some technology, he can be at best a special jonin level, and still cannot be compared with Orochimaru, one of the three great ninjas.
The life trajectory of the original
Because of his lack of talent, he began to drift away from the Three Ninjas until he was reduced to a marginal figure, the status of a stray dog on the roadside. Finally, Hokage shifted his focus to forbidden human experiments until he left Konoha and became a rebel ninja.
But in this world.
Hokage was lucky, he met Uchiha Nan. According to his memory, Uchiha Nan only vaguely remembered that Hokage was a boss in a movie version, who developed a forbidden technique called "Kimetsu no Kiyomi", which could absorb other people's bloodline limits.
With the spirit of trying his best, Uchiha Nan became Hiruko's mentor. Since he didn't have the talent to be a ninja, he decided to change his career and become a scientific researcher.
This is the kind of talent Konoha lacks!
Now, Hiruko is already a senior member of Konoha's science and technology department. There are only a few big men in the department who can compete with him for the right to speak, such as the Minister of Science and Technology who has never appeared, and Orochimaru.
"Since you are not interested, Orochimaru, I will leave this project entirely to Hiruko."
Uchiha Nan turned his gaze to Beiluohu and smiled with satisfaction.
As expected of a child that I have focused on nurturing, he speaks well and is very obedient.
Orochimaru was obviously very obedient when he was a child. He would study whatever he was told to study and would hit wherever he was told. Now he has been following Senju Tobirama all the time, and has been led astray by the naturally evil old demon Senju!
I've started to be picky about research projects, which is really not cute at all.
If I become a girl in the future.
I have to keep my distance from him.
"I have no opinion."
Orochimaru nodded.
Since Beiliuhu is willing to take over this research project, it is a great thing for him.
But the look in Beiliuhu's eyes
very scary.
When did I offend him?
It can't be that duel when we were kids.
Are you so vindictive?
Uchiha Nan once wanted to introduce Hiruko to Senju Tobirama as his apprentice, but Hiruko's talent in scientific research was decent, but his talent as a ninja was a little bit lacking.
The picky guy Senju Tobirama didn't like him, so he sent Orochimaru to test Obito. The result is self-evident. Obito was defeated by Orochimaru, and lost miserably.
"Hokage, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Orochimaru couldn't stand Obito's look and decided to slip away and left the Hokage's office.
Uchiha Nan and Hiruko were the only ones left in the room, and they continued to discuss their computer project research.
If you want to develop computer technology in this era, you really need to burn a huge amount of money. Now only Konoha has the financial resources to support such research.
Even if the other ninja villages had money, they would prioritize investing their funds in the development of ninjutsu, the forging of ninja tools, the storage of food, and the breeding of ninja beasts. Even the unconventional Kong Ninja Village did not continue on this path.
The Sky Ninja Village made an improvement plan for Unit-01, but they had no money to implement it. And Senju Tobirama only made a general design according to Uchiha Kusunoki's idea, but he also had more important research to do.
"Hokage-sama, leave it to me!"
Beiluhu said with confidence.
He must seize every opportunity to prove his ability to the Hokage.
"Very good, I've been watching you!"
"Orochimaru, you will encourage him. Konoha's technology department will still need you to take the lead in the future."
Uchiha Nan said this, skillfully painting a big picture for Obito.
You must work hard and make progress! A bright future is waiting for you, Beiliuhu!
Beiluhu's face flushed instantly.
It turns out that the Hokage has been watching me!
me.
We have to give Hokage a sigh of relief! "Also, how is the development of the Ghost Bud Ra technique going?"
"Hokage, there are still some technical problems, but I can solve them quickly. The most important thing is the problem of experimental materials. I need a bloodline ninja. This is really..."
Uchiha Nan has not forgotten the technique of swallowing other people's bloodline to strengthen himself. It sounds very cool. Maybe he will need to swallow an ohtsutsuki in the future.
However, since the experimental materials are so scarce, it is not like ordinary human experiments where ordinary people can be used as consumables. There are plenty of death row prisoners in the ninja world.
Guiya Luo needs to use blood ninja as experimental consumables
This is it.
It is impossible for Uchiha Nan to use Konoha's bloodline ninja as experimental consumables. It is also very unrealistic to capture bloodline ninjas on a large scale in the ninja world for experiments. Every bloodline ninja is very valuable to the ninja village.
This resulted in a slow development process.
In the original work, Hiruko spent a long time researching, and it took until the Shippuden, when Naruto had reached Sage Mode, to finish it. Now Hiruko has Konoha as his backer, and although the research speed has greatly increased, it is still slow.
It was so slow that Uchiha Nan was getting anxious.
"How about this, after a while, I will secretly send some people to you. Use them sparingly. It's best not to let them die."
"Ok??"
Beiluohu widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.
Uchiha Nan didn't say anything more.
Since the Hyuga clan can never leave the Anbu dungeon for the rest of their lives, they might as well continue to shine for Konoha.
Just consider it as atonement
My kindness is not in vain!
After all, you won't necessarily die from human experiments. Maybe.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen is loyal, and Hokage-sama is always right!
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t think about what you shouldn’t think about.
Then, Hiruhu left Uchiha Nan's office full of passion.
Hokage-sama treated me so well and prepared everything.
If I disappoint Lord Hokage, am I still a human being?
I am not like Orochimaru, who is picky and not loyal to the Hokage!
After both of them left.
Uchiha Nan started his day's work.
There is a pile of letters on the table.
The daimyos of the four countries were already anxious and had been writing letters to harass him these past few days. At first, Uchiha Nan was interested in opening and reading their letters.
I have no interest in it at all now. It's just a new name but the substance remains the same. What's the point of verbal intimidation?
How many jonin do you have under your daimyo's command?
Uchiha Nan threw the letters aside and continued to look at the information about the ninja world. Soon
An interesting place name caught Uchiha Nan's attention.
Loulan
Loulan and the Kingdom of Wind are neighboring countries.
The regional environment is not much better than that of the Kingdom of Wind. All you can see is yellow sand.
Moreover, the relationship with the Wind Kingdom has not been very good in recent years, because Konoha's poverty alleviation plan not only benefits the Sand Village, but the influence of the Musha trade route has gradually been projected to the entire Wind Kingdom, and the lives of the lower-class cattle and horses have also begun to develop for the better.
After all, this is an era of systematic improvement in productivity.
Especially in terms of food, the entire Land of Rice was controlled by Uchiha Kusunoki. Konoha purchased large tracts of land and began to produce food in the form of collective farms. From seeds to fertilizers, and now with a certain degree of mechanized production, food output has greatly increased.
In terms of grain trade, the Kingdom of Wind has benefited from the Sand Village.
This caused the Kingdom of Loulan, which was close to the Kingdom of Wind, to feel the disparity in the world.
Obviously, we all suffer from hunger and poverty together.
Why has your Wind Kingdom suddenly gotten better?
in short.
The king of Loulan became jealous.
He also wanted to improve himself and hold on to Konoha's big thigh.
It’s just that the Kingdom of Loulan really has nothing to offer.
The most important part of Konoha's poverty alleviation plan is to capture the Sand Village and turn it into an economically affiliated ninja village of Konoha.
Think again and again
The King of Loulan thought of his own dragon vein, which contained enormous chakra. Considering that the dragon vein also had the ability to restore its own chakra, it could be said that it was inexhaustible.
Anyway, it would be a waste to keep these chakras underground, so it would be better to extract the chakras from the underground dragon veins and sell them to Konoha.
In the future, I, the country of Loulan, will hang a piece of cloth on my head. I am the richest in the ninja world!
“That’s really interesting.”
Uchiha Nan admitted that he was indeed a little moved.
Chakra is one of the mainstream energy sources in the ninja world. According to the output of the Nine-Tails and the Two-Tails, it is completely unable to withstand such a large consumption of wood, so Konoha needs to spend a large amount of financial budget every year to purchase coal as a backup energy source.
If the dragon vein's chakra can be sold to Konoha at a low price, it is not unacceptable.
only.
The dragon vein has always been unstable and will riot from time to time.
And according to Uchiha Nan's memory.
The dragon vein chakra can also allow people to travel through time and space. In the copy of the movie The Lost Tower, Naruto traveled to the past through the dragon vein chakra and met his father Minato Namikaze.
hiss.
If something uncontrollable happens, the risk will be huge.
Uchiha Nan has witnessed the horror of the butterfly effect. Just a slight change can cause unpredictable changes in reality.
Let's send someone to contact the Lord of Loulan first.
At least we have to get the dragon veins under Konoha's control, so that they won't have any trouble and try to steal the dragon vein chakra.
Nowadays, the business of buying and selling chakra is no longer a rare thing in the ninja world. Every day, there are a lot of ninjas selling their chakra. After all, it is a waste if the ninja's chakra is not used. It can be regenerated anyway.
It would be better to sell the chakra to the nearest extraction point and make some money.
As long as there is profitable business, then.
If the Lord of Loulan bypasses Konoha to make money and sends people to extract the dragon vein chakra without authorization, and then sells it on the market in the ninja world, the consequences will be
