Uchiha Yuu had no idea his opponent had already entered the village. He was dealing with a troublesome matter. After the previous battle, many of War Machine's flaws had been exposed. Its construction materials offered unparalleled defense, but its attacks and mobility left much to be desired. Against powerful enemies, it could only be reduced to a punching bag.
Thus, when faced with Muichiro Tokito's proposal, he did not immediately agree to his request and merely said indirectly:
"The cost of War Machine is simply too high. You saw the entire battle. If Momoshiki Otsutsuki had unleashed his full strength, it would not have been able to withstand his outburst. As for the materials, I will meet your requirements and increase the development of deep-sea materials."
Since they could withstand Momoshiki Otsutsuki's attacks, and with Uchiha Yuu's Atomic Manipulation, the defensive effects of these raw materials could be pushed to their limit. Uchiha Yuu was certain that Momoshiki Otsutsuki possessed considerable combat strength even within the Otsutsuki Clan. With a layer of raw materials protecting him, Uchiha Yuu could avoid many troubles.
"Increase the development of raw materials..."
Muichiro Tokito sighed softly. After some back-and-forth bargaining, Uchiha Yuu's bottom line was merely to expand the development of raw materials rather than increase investment in research. This differed somewhat from what he had wanted. Still, he knew that War Machine had not performed well on the battlefield, which was why Uchiha Yuu was unwilling to increase research funding.
After all, the current situation was far too tense. Dawn Hidden Village had to devote its full efforts to the coming war. Uchiha Yuu would find it difficult to approve something like War Machine, which did not offer an obvious increase in combat strength.
Of the three laboratories, Orochimaru had received the most
