Shikaku Nara first looked at Amado who was gloating about his misfortune, and then at Senju Chen who kept smiling.
Just when everyone was still surprised by the strong Yamato diversity of these "Scientific Ninja Tool", he, as the Konoha strategist, was the first to react.
Senju Chen showed them not only "weapons" this time, but also a subversion of the war model.
There is no need for long-term reconnaissance or complex tactical coordination. The drone provides one-way transparent vision, deflection armor provides survival guarantee, and high-frequency weapons ignore conventional defenses.
If a four-man team is equipped with this set of equipment, they can quietly penetrate behind enemy lines and destroy the enemy's command post. Traditional sentient ninjas are meaningless in front of drones. Traditional defenses are useless in front of sonic knives.
With the drone, everyone can replace Hyuga Clan and become a reconnaissance ninja. With the Gatling, Uchiha Clan's Fire Release is like a younger brother to it, and there is also the walking mine that cannot be sensed by Chakra. Then who will use Explosive Tag in the future!!!
Even Shikaku Nara thought further. If these things in front of us really become popular in Shinobi World, then except for some special Ninjutsu, most basic Ninjutsu's status in Shinobi World may decline significantly.
Once these weapons are mass-produced, they will even cause a fatal blow to some people who rely on family blood and family Ninjutsu to survive!
Even speaking more broadly, what Senju Chen showed them today will have a disruptive impact on the development of the entire Shinobi World in the future!!!
Is this the "industrial revolution" Senju Chen talks about...
Fortunately, this boy Senju Chen is our Konoha. Fortunately, he invited Amado to Konoha first!
If people from other villages take the lead in wooing this person named Amado, the consequences will be disastrous!
After Shikaku Nara figured this out, his back was wet with cold sweat in an instant.
Shikaku Nara looked at Tsunade "Lord Hokage. Once these things appear on the battlefield of Shinobi World..."
He didn't say any more, but everyone present understood what he meant.
To simply describe it in four words, it is - dimensionality reduction attack.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Amado. Their previous scrutiny was no longer there, replaced by deep fear.
Third Hiruzen Sarutobi all closed their eyes and let out a long breath.
"Little Chen. Tell me your conditions." It can only be said that the old fox knows the little fox. Senju Chen has shown them so much today. Hiruzen Sarutobi knows that Senju Chen cannot have any requirements.
"Third Grandpa, several elders. You have also seen it. These are not just one or two novel toys. This is a whole industrial system that can change the direction of the war."
"But the cost of these equipment is high. The cost of one Gatling is equivalent to ten Explosive Tag. The cost of one deflection armor belt is equivalent to one Jonin-level Chakra conductive weapon. Not to mention the subsequent maintenance, battery replacement, and ammunition replenishment."
"But Public Security Department's budget has bottomed out." Senju Chen looked directly at the people at the core of Konoha's power.
Mitokado Homura frowned. "The village can allocate funds. These equipments must be used and can only be used by Konoha's ninjas. Let's fully equip Anbu's personnel first."
"Completely installed?" Amado sneered from the side. "Do you think this is blacksmithing? Currently, only I can control the production lines of these equipment. The manufacturing of core components requires extremely high precision. Even if you have money, I can't produce that much at a time."
Senju Chen raised his hand and stopped Amado who wanted to say something else.
"Mr. Elder Homura, Amado is telling the truth. The current production capacity is limited."
"So, I have a few suggestions." Senju Chen raised a finger. "First, Public Security Department will serve as the only testing and fielding unit for these new equipment. After all, our Public Security Department members have been undertaking the most dangerous and difficult tasks of Konoha. At the same time, these equipment can be tested and improved in actual combat."
Utatane Koharu immediately retorted. "This is impossible! These strategic weapons must first be mastered by Anbu, who is directly under Hokage!"
"Anbu?" Senju Chen chuckled. "Anbu's combat style is concealment and assassination. They may not be used to using these heavy firepower equipment. Moreover, Anbu's organization is too complicated."
"Second." Senju Chen did not explain too much, but continued. "Medical Department's new prosthesis and Public Security Department's equipment maintenance require a lot of resources. Fund. I request that 30% of the village's annual financial expenditure be directly allocated to the Public Security Department and Medical Department. It will be allocated by me with full authority. It will not be audited by Council of Elders."
"Presumptuous!" Mitokado Homura was furious. "Thirty percent of the finances? Still not subject to audit? Are you trying to build a state within a state!"
Senju Chen did not flinch. He still had a gentle smile on his face, like a store owner who was being haggled.
"Elder Homura, I traveled thousands of miles to invite Mr. Amado to Konoha. What you said is a bit exaggerated. Moreover, I have done so much, and all of this is not just for us Konoha. Besides, this is not a request, this is just a normal expenditure."
"Mr. Amado provides technology, equipment, and trump cards that allow Konoha to protect Shinobi World. All we require is matching resources and autonomy."
Senju Chen turned to look at Shikaku Nara. "Uncle Shikaku, do the math. If Konoha's casualty rate is reduced by half and the mission completion rate is doubled. Is this 30% financial expenditure worth it?"
Shikaku Nara was silent for a moment and nodded. "In the long run, it is indeed a sure profit."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the young boy in front of him. He seemed to see Second Hokage Tobirama Senju back then, the man who was also keen on developing new techniques and controlling the overall situation.
At present, Konoha is already in the first echelon for the entire Shinobi World. These so-called "Scientific Ninja Tool" are actually only for Konoha. It's just the icing on the cake. Can Konoha really risk the disapproval of the world and take the initiative to launch a Shinobi World war? This also goes against the original intention that Konoha has always inherited.
But even if these "Scientific Ninja Tool" are really "unnecessary" as Konoha, they must not be exposed to other villages. This is the consensus of everyone present after watching the "display" of these weapons.
In fact, everyone present is a smart person, and they all see the value of these "Scientific Ninja Tool".
Because these things can raise the upper limit of ninjas in the village, and can also level the lower limit of ordinary people and ninjas. This is the most terrifying thing behind these "weapons"!!!
"Okay." Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment. "Thirty percent of military expenditures. Public Security Department's independent right to install equipment. The village can agree to it."
"Hiruzen!" Two consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, said at the same time.
Third Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura and said something meaningful.
"Konoha, we need this power..." Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present knew what he meant.
"Tsunade, we Council of Elders agreed with Little Chen's suggestion just now, what do you think." Third said to Tsunade who had returned from the testing site Earth Flow.
The current Hokage is Tsunade after all, and she needs to make the final decision on this matter. After all, Hokage has the "veto power" in Council of Elders.
Tsunade took off the gauntlet and looked at the "Scientific Ninja Tool" on the other side. "Old man, times have indeed changed. We can't understand what Little Chen took out now, and we can't control it. It's better to give it to him than to some "outsiders". Besides, Little Chen is my brother, I believe he will not do anything detrimental to the village."
This sentence represents Tsunade's position as Fifth Hokage, and also reminds everyone of Senju Chen's identity.
Perhaps due to the shock of today, coupled with Senju Chen's "careful" businessman appearance before, everyone almost forgot about it.
You Senju Chen are the only "only seedling" of the Senju Clan in our village!!!
The next "Hokage" basically belongs to you, and even the entire Konoha will be yours from now on. Why are you still here arguing with us old guys!!!
You belong to the Senju Clan. The money your sister loses in gambling in a year is almost more than the village's annual fiscal revenue. For that little money, what are you doing!!!
Everyone who reacted looked at Senju Chen, who looked like a philistine in front of them, speechlessly.
"..."
"Thank you sister, thank you elders for your support. I guarantee that Konoha's investment will be rewarded a hundred times." Senju Chen said with a smile while rubbing his hands.
