After the delivery of the medical patch tutorials and training programs, Konoha's medical system has completely completed a comprehensive upgrade of its wartime first aid capabilities.
On the one hand, the large-scale mass production lines of printing factories and charm-making workshops operate 24 hours a day, and hundreds of thousands of civilian patches come off the production line every day, and are continuously sent to the logistics warehouse and distributed to various departments, schools, Police Force in the village, and frontline combat troops; on the other hand, trained medical ninjas can also skillfully carve customized patches to deal with complex injuries in hospitals and battlefields.
The wartime medical reserve problems that had been weighing on Tsunade's mind before were completely solved by Rinto one by one. From the comprehensive upgrade of the barrier, to Senjutsu Extreme Damage Repair Configuration, to the complete battlefield first aid patch system, and even the problems of mass production and training, he solved them smoothly.
This morning, after Tsunade finished handling the official business at hand, he specially took Shizune to visit Rinto's laboratory in person. She did not just ask Sakura to take the lead like before, but came to the door in person. On the one hand, she formally finalized the whole Konoha's wartime medical reserve order, on the other hand, is also a solemn thank you to Rinto. Even if she knows that Rinto doesn't care about these courtesy, as Hokage, she must express Konoha's gratitude in person.
The two of them walked outside the courtyard door. Tsunade raised his hand and knocked lightly on the courtyard door. His tone was much gentler than usual, and with enough respect. "Mr. Rinto, I am Tsunade. I'd like to excuse you, but I want to confirm something with you."
The sound of the pen tip scratching across the slate was heard in the room. After a pause for a few seconds, Rinto's voice came out, still as cold as ever. "Come in, tell me what you have to say, don't waste time."
Tsunade and Shizune pushed the door in and saw Rinto sitting in front of the experimental table. Spread out in front of them was the metabolic pathway map of neurotoxins. The charcoal pen in their hands kept moving without even turning their heads. Even though the person standing in front of them was Konoha 0. In his eyes, there is no difference between the Hokage of and the legendary Sannin of Shinobi World, and Sakura who came to send data and Shikamaru who came to get the plan.
"Mr. Rinto, I came here mainly for two things." Tsunade walked to the table and spoke directly without beating around the bush, "First, on behalf of Konoha, I would like to solemnly thank you. The barrier system you designed, Senjutsu Repair Configuration, as well as a full set of medical patches, have provided Konoha with wartime defense and medical support, solved the core problem, saved many people's lives, and will save more people in future wars. Konoha owes you a big favor."
Rinto didn't stop writing in his hand, didn't raise his head, and interrupted her in a calm tone, "No need to say any polite words. I did this just for my research, not for Konoha, nor to save people. You got the plan you wanted, and I got the information and data I wanted. It's just an equal exchange, you're welcome."
His words were so straightforward that they were almost merciless, and he did not accept Tsunade's favor at all, nor did he care about this "Konoha's great favor". Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. She had known Rinto's temper for a long time, but she still didn't expect that he would not even accept a polite thank you.
Shizune next to him was also a little embarrassed. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Tsunade quickly adjusted and continued to talk about the second business matter, which was also the core purpose of her visit this time. "The second thing is to formally finalize the wartime medical reserve order for all Konoha. We plan to give Konoha all active ninjas, Police Force, Anbu, each person is equipped with a complete set of six patches; a basic first aid kit is distributed to every civilian household in the village, including basic patches for hemostasis, analgesia, and detoxification; hospitals, frontline Medical Squad, and first aid teams reserve sufficient amounts of all models of patches, including customized patch materials."
She paused and added, "If the Shinobi World war breaks out in the future, we will also provide matching patch reserves for the coalition forces. Therefore, I would like to confirm with you whether there is anything that needs to be adjusted in the mass-produced civilian version of the patch? Also, if there are new needs in the future, such as patch design for special injuries, can I ask you to help optimize it?"
Rinto finally stopped the pen in his hand, turned his head and looked at Tsunade, without any wavering in his tone. "I have already given you the mass production plan. How to produce it and how much to produce is your business. You don't need to confirm it with me. If there are new demands in the future, please send the corresponding complete data on injury cases and injury mechanisms first. I will see if there is any research value."
He has never been Konoha's exclusive weapons supplier. He will not do design on demand just because Konoha is going to fight. Whether it is worth doing will only depend on the corresponding topic and whether it can bring new knowledge and new data to his research.
Tsunade nodded immediately. "No problem! As long as there is a new demand, we will definitely send you the most complete cases and data. In return, all Konoha's medical resources, case files, experimental materials, and any rare samples you need, as long as Konoha can get them, will all be supplied to you first, with the highest authority, without any approval."
This is a bargaining chip that she has thought about for a long time. For a person like Rinto who only cares about research, Hokage's promise, favors from the village, and financial status are all meaningless. Only research-related resources, data, and samples are what he really cares about.
Sure enough, Rinto's eyebrows moved, and he said a faint "hmm", which was regarded as acceding to the request.
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Also, as long as you make a list of any consumables, reagents, and experimental equipment your laboratory needs, the logistics department will send them to you as soon as possible. All of them will be borne by the village, so you don't need to worry. If you need to expand the experimental site, or need a specialized experimental assistant, we can also arrange it immediately."
"No need." Rinto refused directly, "The assistant will interrupt my experiment. If there are any missing consumables, I will ask Sakura to inform the logistics. Don't worry about the rest." He has long been accustomed to doing experiments alone. The precise experimental process does not require any outsiders to intervene. One more person will only cause more interruptions and the possibility of errors.
Tsunade did not force himself and responded quickly, "Okay, it's all as you want. Then we won't disturb you for the experiment. If you have any questions later, we will let Sakura connect with you and try not to disturb you."
After she finished speaking, she bowed solemnly to Rinto, took Shizune with her, and quietly left.
After walking far out of the door, Shizune couldn't help but whisper, "Lady Tsunade, Mr. Rinto are too cold, they don't even give you face..."
Tsunade shook his head and sighed, his tone full of emotion. "He has the qualifications. If it weren't for him, Konoha would not have such confidence in the face of the upcoming attack. He doesn't care about favors or reputation, he only cares about his research, which is a good thing. As long as we give him enough research resources and don't disturb him, he can bring us surprises beyond our imagination."
She looked back at the closed door and knew clearly that Konoha was able to have such solid wartime preparations. The contribution of Rinto alone was more than half of Konoha's ninjas.
In the laboratory, Rinto had completely forgotten the conversation he had just had with Tsunade. How many patches Konoha wants to produce, how much supplies he wants to reserve, and what kind of war he wants to fight, it has nothing to do with him. He just agreed just because Tsunade gave him unlimited medical resources and case authority, which can bring more materials and data to his research.
He picked up the charcoal again, his eyes fell back on the neurotoxin metabolism map in front of him, and his attention was immersed in the research again. Outside the window, Konoha was preparing for war in full swing. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming war. In his world, only the rules of Chakra, the cell mechanism, and the experimental data were completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of war outside.
