"Grow... farm?!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Gen'yō's earth-shattering words, all the Uchiha clan members present were stunned.
They looked at each other, both seeing the deep astonishment and confusion in each other's eyes.
who are they?
They are the strongest and most arrogant fighting clan in the Shinobi World, the Uchiha!
Their hands are used to Hand Seals to kill enemies and to hold the power of life and death!
Now, the clan chief is actually asking them who is interested in farming?
Wait... isn't this art style a little off?
"What? Is nobody interested?"
Uchiha Gen'yō looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, but his smile remained unchanged.
"It seems I need to explain to you what exactly we're going to plant next."
As he spoke, he took out a few " Body-Tempering Grass " seeds from his system inventory.
As soon as the emerald green seed left the system space, it emitted a refreshing fragrance full of life energy.
Just by smelling this aroma, the surrounding clansmen felt their Chakra become more active!
"This is ' Body-Tempering Grass '."
Gen'yō's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
"According to the ancient records I obtained, soaking the body in this herb for a long period of time can slowly but continuously strengthen a ninja's physical strength and increase the speed of Chakra condensation."
"In other words, it can fundamentally raise the talent ceiling of every member of our race!"
boom!
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the minds of all the tribespeople!
Raising the talent ceiling?!
What does this even mean?!
This means that a member of the clan who was originally of average talent will have the opportunity to catch up with those geniuses!
And what terrifying heights will those clansmen, who are already geniuses, reach in the future?!
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards those few seeds changed!
Those are no longer ordinary seeds!
That's a divine object!
It is the hope that can change the fate of the entire family!
"I... I'm willing! Lord Gen'yō! I'm willing to go farming!"
A young man who was usually quiet and reserved in the clan and somewhat self-conscious because of his lack of talent was the first to excitedly raise his hand, his face turning bright red!
"I'd like to too!"
"And me! I'm the expert at this!"
"Don't try to take it from me! I've loved tending to flowers and plants since I was little!"
In an instant, the entire scene erupted in cheers!
The Uchiha elites, who had just scoffed at the word "farming," were now scrambling to get started, afraid of falling behind!
Are you kidding me!
This is hardly farming.
This is clearly planting a bright and glorious future for oneself and one's descendants!
Seeing the high spirits of his clansmen, Uchiha Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
He wanted all members of the clan to understand that in the new Uchiha Sacred Land, every position, whether in battle or production, was for the great revival of the clan, and there was no distinction between high and low status!
"Very good."
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will entrust the specific implementation of the ' Shennong Project ' to one person."
Gen'yō's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on a middle-aged man who looked refined and wore glasses next to Uchiha Fugaku.
" Uchiha Inabi."
The middle-aged man whose name was called shuddered and stepped forward, somewhat flattered.
"Yes, Lord Gen'yō!"
In her original clan, Uchiha Inabi was an administrative staff member responsible for managing finances and logistics. She was of average strength and never stood out.
He never dreamed that one day he would be personally called out by the new clan leader in front of everyone!
"I remember you used to be in charge of the Uchiha Clan's business dealings with the village in Konoha, right?"
Gen'yō asked.
"Yes... yes! I am not very capable, but I have indeed been in charge of the operation of some shops..."
Uchiha Inabi answered somewhat nervously.
"Very good."
Gen'yō snapped his fingers.
"From today onwards, I appoint you as the head of our Uchiha Clan's ' Shennong Project '."
"At the same time, I hereby announce the formal establishment of the ' Uchiha Chamber of Commerce '!"
"You, Uchiha Inabi, will serve as the first president of the Chamber of Commerce!"
"Your task is not just to cultivate these medicinal herbs, but more importantly, to turn them into money! To turn them into resources that can make our Uchiha even stronger!"
"I want you to use these tiny herbs to shake up the economic lifeline of the entire Shinobi World!"
"Can you do it?!"
Hearing Gen'yō's words, which were full of ambition and trust, Uchiha Inabi felt a surge of heat rush to the top of her head!
He felt he had never been so valued in his entire life!
" Inabi... I am willing to sacrifice myself, even to the point of being shattered to pieces, for Lord Gen'yō and for the rise of my race!"
He knelt on one knee and roared out his vow with all his might!
And so, under the leadership of the new president, Uchiha Inabi, the ambitious " Shennong Project " was officially launched!
The Uchiha clan members threw themselves into this great "farming" project with unprecedented enthusiasm.
Nourished by the World Tree's immense life energy, the growth rate of these medicinal herbs far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Just three days!
Three days later, the first batch of " Body-Tempering Grass " and " Spirit-Concentrating Flower " matured and were ready to be harvested!
When Uchiha Inabi brought the first batch of "product" samples from the Chamber of Commerce to Iwagakure's high-ranking Uchiha Gen'yō, his face was filled with excitement and fervor.
" Lord Gen'yō! We did it! We did it!"
"According to preliminary tests, these elixirs are more than ten times more effective than those recorded in ancient texts!"
"Especially this ' Blood-Exploding Fruit,' I had a member of my clan try it out, and his strength instantly skyrocketed from an ordinary Chunin to almost Jonin! And afterwards, he was only weak for half a day, without any permanent damage!"
Upon hearing this news, Ōnoki and Kitsuchi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
Instantly elevating Chunin to Jonin?!
No aftereffects yet?!
If this thing were used on the battlefield, what would happen?!
"Well done."
Uchiha Gen'yō took the sample and simply nodded calmly, as if everything was within his expectations.
He turned his head and looked at Ōnoki, who was completely shocked, with a "kind" smile on his face.
" Tsuchikage."
"Our Uchiha Chamber of Commerce's first batch of products has just hit the market."
"I see that the ninjas of your Iwagakure fight in the sandstorms year-round, and their bodies are quite worn out."
Would you be interested in ordering a batch of our " Body-Tempering Grass " treatment packages?
"Since we're allies, I can give you a 2% discount."
"Guess how much the average strength of your Iwagakure ninjas will improve in less than three months?"
