"Mm... so I need to establish about five more transport teams of twenty people each, specifically for delivering supplies?"
After Yukina finished explaining part of the implementation plan, Kakashi frowned. After thinking it over, he asked the question.
"Mm. That way, supply efficiency will be a little higher, and we can ensure that the underground warehouses at all the transit stations stay full. After all, if we really set up camp there, even with shifts, supplies will be consumed much faster. And we can't keep relying on compressed food. At most, compressed food can only be emergency rations. Fresh ingredients still need to be delivered every day. If there aren't enough transport teams and everyone keeps eating compressed food, it won't be good for their health. If something goes wrong, it'll only be harder to deal with."
Yukina nodded firmly.
"That's true. In that case, efficiency may drop by another ten to fifteen percent. Is that acceptable?"
Kakashi sighed softly at Yukina's words and could only agree. However, as he spoke, he turned to Chiba.
"It doesn't matter. Even if efficiency drops by fifty percent from the original level, it would still be acceptable. The Ninja Engineering Corps is already hundreds of percent more efficient than ordinary workers. Such a small reduction truly doesn't matter. Preparatory work is meant to be a rather lengthy process to begin with, especially now that we need to cut the budget. If it goes a little slower, then so be it."
Naturally, Chiba had no objections to Kakashi's question. The implication was that they should proceed without restraint.
"Then the transport teams are settled. As for the ingredients..."
Kakashi nodded at this, then asked again.
"Don't worry. I've already contacted the logistics department. They'll deliver fresh ingredients and the necessary supplies to us every
