Tsunade left.
She left with a complicated mix of emotions.
Shizune, holding Tonton and following behind her, noticed Tsunade’s expression as she walked out of the Uchiha clan grounds.
After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Lady Tsunade, what happened?”
While Shizune was outside, Tsunade had spoken with Namikaze Mirai and Fugaku Uchiha and hadn’t heard their conversation.
“Shizune, I suddenly feel that the old man was wrong.”
After a long silence, Tsunade uttered this single sentence.
Then she said no more.
Her visit to the Uchiha clan grounds had greatly altered her previous views.
Perhaps Namikaze Mirai becoming Hokage would be good for Konoha after all?
Shizune had never seen Tsunade like this.
She opened her mouth to speak, but the words stuck in her throat and didn’t come out.
…
After Tsunade left, the conversation between Namikaze Mirai and Fugaku Uchiha continued inside the room.
“Fugaku, I plan to establish a company called Umbrella.”
“Umbrella Corporation?”
Fugaku Uchiha looked surprised.
“Yes.” Namikaze Mirai nodded. “As I just told Tsunade, this world has been stagnant for too long. Umbrella Corporation might bring about a new change.”
After thinking for a moment, Fugaku Uchiha frowned. “Mirai, what exactly will this Umbrella Corporation do?”
“Umbrella, as the name suggests, will be a large company encompassing security, military, medical, and several other fields.”
“Security will provide protection services for merchants and other employers, similar to ninja duties but on a much broader scale. The military is self-explanatory. As for medical…”
Namikaze Mirai paused.
“Ninja is a high-risk profession with frequent battles leading to high injury rates, creating a huge medical market with enormous profits.”
“Simple medical products like soldier pills and bandages can’t meet such a large market demand. Not every ninja village can afford medical ninjas. Breaking into the pharmaceutical industry would yield continuous profits.”
Economic foundations determine the superstructure.
As someone who had received higher education, Namikaze Mirai understood this well.
Money is always the first element of development.
During these years in the ninja world, he had gained a comprehensive understanding, which was why he confidently spoke to Tsunade.
Receiving a flood of information from Namikaze Mirai, Fugaku Uchiha’s expression shifted from initial surprise to gradual shock…
This was an incredibly large blueprint. If the Umbrella Corporation were successfully established, its impact on Konoha would be unimaginable.
“But isn’t this too difficult?”
Fugaku Uchiha felt a headache coming on.
The grander the blueprint, the more difficult the challenges and obstacles to overcome.
Just listening to Namikaze Mirai’s description, Fugaku Uchiha felt overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the vision.
“That’s why we need to consolidate all of Konoha’s strength!”
Namikaze Mirai’s blue eyes sparkled with a smile.
“For example, in the medical field, the Nara clan has extensive pharmaceutical experience, and their territory is home to many rare medicinal herbs. With Tsunade’s help, the medical department’s foundation can be established.”
“As for security and military, entrusting them to the Hyuga and Uchiha clans is most appropriate. Using the Byakugan solely for reconnaissance is a waste; combined with long-range weapons, it can eliminate many threats in advance.”
Namikaze Mirai smiled slightly.
“The Umbrella Corporation’s location will be the former Root base!”
“A new Konoha without roots buried underground, only an umbrella to shield the new leaves.”
Fugaku Uchiha’s pupils trembled slightly.
A new Konoha without roots buried underground, only an umbrella to shield the new leaves…
This sentence echoed in his mind.
Perhaps this was their hope when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha founded Konoha!
But the tree of hope had rotted with the Third Hokage’s rise and Danzo’s ruthless actions.
Namikaze Mirai’s Umbrella made him see a whole new Konoha.
“If I’m not mistaken, that storm will come soon.”
Namikaze Mirai smiled as he looked out the window.
His azure eyes held a hint of anticipation.
…
Meanwhile,
Tsunade, who had left the Uchiha clan grounds, returned to the Hokage office.
“Tsunade, how did it go?”
Seeing Tsunade enter, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his documents, full of expectation.
But soon, he noticed something was wrong.
Tsunade’s expression was gloomy.
Very gloomy.
“Old man, don’t involve me in these matters again.”
“What happened?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s smile froze, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.
“Just don’t involve me in these matters anymore.”
Leaving this statement, Tsunade turned and left, with Shizune following behind holding Tonton.
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s smile disappeared, his face returning to its previous gloomy state.
“What happened to Tsunade?”
He was confused and puzzled.
But this wasn’t a good sign.
