How is the Experiment Progressing?

Uchiha Chiri saw the file in Genmei's hand, her brows twitching slightly as she asked bluntly, "The company's revenue for this month?"

Setting the report down, Uchiha Genmei looked at Chiri, who was no longer a young girl, and smiled proudly. "Mm, the revenue is quite good. The markets in the small countries surrounding the Land of Demons have all been secured."

He stood up and walked over to a wall hung with a map of the Shinobi World. Pointing to the Land of Lightning on the map, he said with pride, "As for the markets of the Great Nations, by leveraging the relationship between our main family and the Feudal Lord of the Land of Lightning, we've managed to get a share of the spoils and have successfully established our presence there as well."

He then traced his finger across the remaining three Great Nations, excluding the Land of Fire. "The Land of Demons is a small country after all; its population is limited, and production capacity cannot be increased. We don't need to think about those three Great Nations for the time being."

Everything had gone smoothly since returning from the Land of Demons. He had tasked Orochimaru with researching various industrial goods and forced him to design a complete assembly line for the products. The rest was simple: Miko, the ruler of the Land of Demons, acted as the intermediary to establish a company jointly with the Uchiha. The Uchiha provided the military force, while the Land of Demons provided the manpower, materials, land, and other various resources. They dumped their products into the Shinobi World—which was still stuck in the era of feudal lords and nobles—and made a fortune.

What? You say it can't be done? You can go ask whether the Uchiha's katana is sharp enough!

As for the idea that shinobi shouldn't engage in business? Who said that? In Konohagakure, aren't the Ino-Shika-Cho clan already running their own businesses?

Thinking of Konohagakure, he thought of the Land of Fire. Feeling somewhat displeased, he frowned and sneered, "The market in the Land of Fire is a bit troublesome. I really didn't expect them to be acting so high and mighty over there!"

As someone close to Genmei, Uchiha Chiri knew exactly who "they" were. She held her head, feeling a headache coming on. "After all, the main family and they are old enemies; there's nothing to be done about it."

He walked back to his seat and sat down, waving his hand. "Chiri, let's not talk about them. Let's discuss the real reason you came here."

"Talking to you about this made me almost forget," Chiri said with a helpless smile. "The Hokage invites you to his office to discuss important matters."

Hearing this, Uchiha Genmei shrugged. "I didn't expect that since returning from the Land of Demons, they've resorted to sending messengers to summon me. It used to be the Anbu just barging in rudely to notify me."

Having said that, he stood up and gave Chiri a final instruction:

"Then I'll head over first. Please handle this report with Yuta."

Chizuru smiled and nodded in agreement:

"Understood. Remember not to be disrespectful to Lord Hokage."

As his retreating back left the room, he waved a hand to show he'd heard.

Exiting the Police Force headquarters, he passed by the Uchiha clan's main compound.

Looking at the flourishing Uchiha, Uchiha Genmei felt a surge of "I am deeply gratified."

After earning immense wealth, Over a hundred Uchiha elites with three tomoe, under massive resource allocation.

After learning and adapting, The Sage Mode, with its reduced difficulty, naturally came with ease.

Only those

ninjas who hadn't awakened their three tomoe, their chakra reserves not yet sufficient, could not learn it for the time being.

Now, this vast power was completely under his control, allowing him to face any challenge head-on.

Not long after, he entered the Hokage Office and, to the Third Hokage, who was in his prime, bowed slightly and smiled:

"Lord Hokage, is there something you wish to discuss?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the handsome Uchiha before him.

He couldn't help but sigh.

The information about the Land of Demons his disciple had given him years ago had sent shivers down his spine.

The Uchiha had produced

a figure at the level of a God of Shinobi.

This was difficult for him.

Among the Konoha shinobi of this generation, there was no one who could match him.

His past experiences had already taught him how strong a God of Shinobi truly was.

Fortunately, this individual was currently stable.

Therefore, he could tolerate some of his more extreme actions.

Extinguishing his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Genmei, and smiled slightly:

"Minister Yuan Ming, it's nothing else, just that the current atmosphere in the Shinobi World is becoming increasingly severe."

He took a file from his drawer, and handed it to Uchiha Genmei.

"This is a report from the Analysis Division. Please take a look, and then we can discuss it further."

Taking the report, Uchiha Genmei quickly skimmed through it.

Indeed, the atmosphere in the Shinobi World was becoming increasingly mysterious.

After more than twenty years of peace, the gap in mission quotas with Konohagakure had widened.

This had made the ruling classes of the Four Great Shinobi Villages

restless.

Currently, friction was already constant along the borders.

It was a simple truth.

Mercenaries relied on their share of commissions to survive.

If you have it, I don't; who would be content with that!

Uchiha Genmei raised his head, And said with a solemn expression:

"Lord Hokage, if the situation becomes dire, as a part of Konoha, the Uchiha will exhaust every effort."

After receiving that report, He already understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

As Hokage, Facing the first great war he would experience, He would absolutely utilize every ounce of power to achieve victory.

More importantly, with his own existence now a factor, Sarutobi Hiruzen would no longer care about the policies of Senju Tobirama.

The principle of keeping the Uchiha confined to the Police Force—

If he himself were dissatisfied, Hiruzen would likely find it difficult to sit securely in that seat.

And the Uchiha needed war as well.

After all, in the original story, The Third Hokage strictly enforced the policies of the Second Hokage.

Unless absolutely forced, he tried his best to keep the Uchiha from participating in battle.

Without large-scale slaughter, The Uchiha were not subjected to excessive trauma.

Naturally, After the Third Great War, They became toothless cats, ultimately left to be manipulated and wiped out as a clan.

Afterward, Once the two had discussed the countermeasures in detail, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up, And said with a sincere face:

"The Uchiha are truly a noble clan of Konoha; I am very grateful for your support."

Uchiha Genmei

Responded indifferently:

"As a ninja of Konoha, this is only to be expected."

Receiving this reply, The Third Hokage nodded and smiled.

Then, he shifted the topic:

"By the way, Minister Yuan Ming, there is someone who wishes to see you."

Uchiha Genmei raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? Who?"

"Lady Uzumaki Mito requests that Minister Yuan Ming come to the Senju Mansion of the Forest tomorrow for a talk."

Upon hearing this, Genmei was stunned for a moment.

Recovering his senses, He replied with a look of interest:

"Very well, I have long wished to meet this legend of Konoha."

Standing before the window, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the figure slowly walking out of the building.

His expression was uncertain, Until finally, it seemed he had made up his mind.

"Someone, come."

Swish, swish, swish.

The Anbu guarding the perimeter appeared in the office in an instant.

They knelt on one knee, heads bowed:

"Hokage-sama, what are your orders?"

"Go tell Danzo that the experiment he wants to start..."

Turning his head, He looked down at the Anbu, his expressionless face saying:

"I agree."

Uchiha Genmei, who was walking out of the building, Also sneered inwardly.

His own company's entry into the Land of Fire market was being obstructed.

Uzumaki Mito was going to meet him?

He would go and see tomorrow, What schemes these 'old rivals' were up to!

Walking past a few street corners, he slowly arrived at the edge of Konoha, And entered a brand-new building.

He walked upstairs familiarly and pushed open a door filled with a sense of technology.

Walking in, He saw a cold, snake-like person engrossed in computer data.

He greeted them:

"How is the experiment progressing?"
