Tsunade had to admit that Uchiha Yao's proposal had struck precisely at the softest, most deeply held part of her heart.
"Have you considered how many resources it would take to achieve that goal?"
"The time, money, and educational resources needed to train a qualified medical ninja far exceed those needed to train an ordinary ninja."
"Not to mention that medical ninjutsu demands extremely precise Chakra control. Not everyone has that talent."
"Even if we turned all of Konoha upside down, we still wouldn't find that many gifted candidates."
"Even if we take a step back and assume we really managed it."
"The annual costs of maintaining such a vast medical system would be astronomical."
Tsunade's voice was somewhat bitter. "Can the village's finances sustain it? This isn't a small sum."
"Money isn't a problem." Uchiha Yao's answer was casual, yet filled with unquestionable dominance. "What I want is results."
Tsunade fell silent.
Looking at the absurdly young Fifth Hokage before her, she began seriously considering his words for the first time.
"Why... why do you want to do this?" Tsunade finally voiced the doubt in her heart. "Is it merely to strengthen Konoha?"
"Strengthening it is only the first step." Uchiha Yao rose and walked to the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, looking down over all of Konoha.
"My goal is to make Konoha the only voice in the Shinobi World."
"To unify the entire Shinobi World."
Boom!
Tsunade's mind went blank in an instant.
Un... unify the Shinobi World?!
Had he gone mad?!
Tsunade stared at Uchiha Yao as though he were insane.
She even suspected she had misheard him.
"Y-You... what did you say?"
"Unify the Shinobi World?"
"Do you even know what you're saying?!"
Tsunade's voice abruptly rose.
"Are you insane?!"
This was simply the most insane, most
