Uchiha Yū had no idea that his opponent had already entered the village. He was dealing with a troublesome matter. After the previous battle, many problems with the war machines had come to light. Their construction materials possessed unparalleled defense, but their attacks and mobility left much to be desired. Against powerful enemies, they could only be reduced to punching bags.
Thus, when faced with Muichiro Tokito's proposal, he did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, he said indirectly:
"The war machines cost far too much. You saw the entire battle. If Otsutsuki Momoshiki unleashed his full power, they wouldn't be able to withstand his burst of strength. As for the materials, I'll meet your requirements and increase the development of deep-sea materials."
If they could withstand Otsutsuki Momoshiki's attacks, then with Uchiha Yū's atomic manipulation, the defensive properties of those raw materials could be pushed to their limit. Uchiha Yū was certain that even within his clan, Otsutsuki Momoshiki possessed considerable combat power. With a layer of raw material protection, Uchiha Yū could avoid a great deal of trouble.
"Increase raw material development..."
Muichiro Tokito sighed softly. After the two sides haggled for a while, Uchiha Yū's bottom line was merely increasing the extraction of raw materials rather than investing more into research. This differed somewhat from his own ideas. Still, he knew that the war machines had not achieved good results on the battlefield, which was why Uchiha Yū was unwilling to increase research investment.
After all, the current situation was far too tense. Dawn Hidden Village had to devote all its strength to the coming war. Uchiha Yū found it difficult to approve of something like war machines, which did not provide an obvious increase in combat power.
Of the three laboratories, Orochimaru currently received the
