Chapter 131 The Wind in the Forest 9
"Let that bastard go!"
Tsunade roared, and there was a loud bang, and the table in front of Sasuke collapsed into pieces.
This is a strange table, the base is a living tree root, and the top is a tree trunk that grows into a plank shape. After Sasuke smashed the table, the tree root tenaciously grew a new table again.
In the quiet conference hall, Nara Kana swept away the wreckage of his predecessor's desk with a shadow brush, poured a cup of tea for Sasuke, and Hinata silently placed the documents he had just rescued in front of Tsunade.
The third generation persuaded her helplessly: "Tsunade, no matter what, he is an envoy sent by the daimyo, you can't be too rude to him."
This is the year-end meeting of Konoha's high-level executives. Originally, everyone made a good summary and was about to integrate the past and look forward to the future. The person in charge of external affairs told Tsunade that the current daimyo asked Tsunade to go to worship this year.
Unlike the former daimyo who sincerely regarded Tsunade as his nephew, the current daimyo has always believed that Tsunade, who was born as a ninja, bears the title of Princess of the Fire Country, which is a very embarrassing thing for the Huozhifang family. It's inappropriate, so he asked Tsunade to go to worship, and he also asked her to have a blind date and give her a noble husband. It would be great if he could use this to intervene in Konoha's power.
Of course, these meanings are very implicit in the letter, but Tsunade still understood it, and got angry about it.
As the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, she is not only the leader of Konoha, but also one of the representatives of the ninja group. What a humiliation for the eldest woman, and it is also a symbol of the decline of ninja power!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Tsunade to accept this matter. She replied in a cold tone: "I am a princess of the second rank, do you want me to send that mere sixth-rank guy back with a good voice, and then tell him that I am happy to marry you?" person?"
This tone is not very friendly, if you say it like this, it will be a bit easy to make trouble. Although the current daimyo's ambition to intervene in Konoha's affairs is very obvious, but if Konoha is really tearing his face, without taking the title of Daiyo, The situation will definitely become difficult, and the third generation's non-stop winking to make Tsunade back down is also worried about this.
Hinata saw that Tsunade was in a dilemma, and decisively opened her mouth to share the worries of her boss. She said casually: "According to the decree left by the Regent Daimyo in the past, the daimyo should support and respect each other in the name of brothers, and jointly maintain the country of fire. Now that the fifth generation is still in peace due to the death of Lord Duan, and only wants to contribute to the country of fire and Konoha, the daimyo should also be considerate of Master Tsunade's feelings!"
As she spoke, she still showed a moved expression, wiping away tears that didn't exist.
If this is the case, although there will be a verbal war with the daimyo for a while later, at least there is no need to tear the face, so many people are satisfied, thinking that this is the right answer.
Tsunade trembled when she heard that, she rubbed the goosebumps on her hands, glanced at her thick-skinned secretary, sighed, and waved her hand: "That's right, just tell that envoy and ask him to pass the exam for me. Pass this message to the daimyo, okay, let's continue the meeting."
After the morning's meeting, Konoha's high-level executives were all dizzy, while Hinata and Shizune issued documents while notifying the heads of various departments of the time period for Godaimu's inspection.
According to the order issued by Tsunade a while ago, Hokage will lead the village leaders to conduct year-end inspections of each department at the end of the year, and inspect the inspection results, the work status and achievements of each department as one of the proofs for the budget of the financial department in the coming year.
Sasuke's R&D department is the first among all departments. If they do a good job, they will be granted a generous budget in advance. If they don't do a good job, their finances will be tight next year.
But Sasuke is full of confidence in this. He is probably the person who cares the least about money in all departments. Not to mention the by-products made by the research and development department when he is doing research has already made him a lot of money. It is really No.1 among the heads of all departments in Konoha.
For this inspection, he had already held a meeting in the R&D department in advance, and beat the thorns under him hard, asking them to make their own plans and budgets for the coming year, and made a beautiful summary of the results.
On the second day, Tsunade led the Secretary, Naruto Guards, Police Department Minister Uchiha Fugaku, and Finance Department Minister Haruno Zhao, accompanied by Uchiha (?) Sasuke, Deputy Director of the R&D Department, visited the R&D department.
The first thing they entered was the lobby. Nara Anka directly hung a red banner on the reception desk that read "Leaders at all levels are welcome to come and guide" and borrowed a copy from director Okamura who was filming in Konoha Village recently. A set of equipment, cut a short video, the main content of the short film is how the R&D department does its best to do research and contribute to Konoha under the wise leadership of the fifth generation of purpose, and the appearance of the members of the R&D department when they are working hard, and related personnel Fragments of staying up late at work...
Anyway, as soon as Tsunade entered the door, he stood there and watched the short video. After watching the short video, his mood index obviously rose, and he was a little moved by "ah, so my subordinates respect and love me so much, and work so hard for the village".
Fuyue and Haruno Zhao are smart people, they immediately began to think about finding someone to shoot and edit now, wondering if they could make a short film before Tsunade went to his department.
Then they were the first to visit the rune group. The leader of the rune group, Saori Uchiha, stood up and introduced smoothly: "Under the wise guidance of the fifth generation and the deputy director, we have successfully completed the assembly line operation of the detonating rune." The whole set of process development, the factory can be opened in the next year, and in the case of saving 30% of materials, the power still has [-]% of the handmade detonating charm!"
Tsunade nodded: "Okay."
The second they entered was the plant group. The leader of this group was Sasuke. He directly reported the results of the plant group in improving grain seeds, shortening the planting time of medicinal materials, improving drug efficacy, increasing yield, etc., and reported all the data. Just make people comfortable.
Tsunade nodded again and again: "Very good!"
After that, they went to see the laboratories of several ace money-making projects in the R&D department, and listened to reports from the relevant leaders. Tsunade was also invited to play with the new experimental equipment in person.
Finally, when they arrived at the Chakra prosthetic body project team, Tsunade was already so happy that the naked eye could see that even Haruno Zhao felt that it was wise to give more money to the R&D department.
As the person in charge of this group, Sakura calmly reported her achievements and progress: "Now we have successfully overcome the installation of the prosthetic body after the limb is incomplete. Retrofitting is more involved."
She gestured: "For example, if we install a prosthesis that can lift [-] kilograms on a person's hand, then when the person uses this hand to lift a weight of [-] kilograms, the biggest possibility is not the weight. Objects are lifted, but the prosthetics and heavy objects fall from the connected parts, causing secondary damage, that is to say, to improve the power of the prosthetics, more parts need to be modified.”
Tsunade frowned slightly: "In other words, if a powerful ninja needs to rely on artificial limbs to restore combat power after being disabled, a more substantial transformation is required, and the original healthy parts must also be modified, right?"
"Yes, the adaptation and control of high-power prosthetics can be improved through mechanical automation and fine chakra operations, and the energy can also be compensated through the energy storage spell of the rune group. Only this cannot be avoided."
At this time, Fuyue pointed out a key point: "But it is also possible to make people who are not qualified enough to have strong power through transformation, right? Then the regulations on the control of high-power prosthetic bodies should also be put on the agenda."
"Exactly." Sakura said, introducing another person to them.
"This is Yakumo Kurama, who volunteered to participate in this group of experiments last year. She was too weak to become a ninja, and she has excellent blood succession boundaries, so she finally decided to obtain the qualifications to become a ninja by transforming her body. Now With the cooperation of my team member Yingzhuoyu, the prosthesis of the whole body except the head, spinal cord and uterus was preliminarily completed the day before yesterday. She was the first to undergo this operation, but it was very successful. As you all know See, she is adapting to her new prosthetic body."
Through the glass, everyone could see a little girl walking crookedly. Her left foot took very small steps, and her right foot took big steps. During this period, she fell down several times. Bad, but her eyes were determined.
"I became a full-body prosthetic person when I was a child..."
Tsunade leaned close to the glass window with complicated eyes. How similar was this scene to the girl in the story she heard from Asagaohime in her memory?If there were people with such skills at that time, maybe Chao Yanji would not have left so early.
She sighed softly: "The size of the prosthesis is the size of a 9-year-old child, right? Will it change with age?"
Sakura replied calmly: "There is a term in psychology called external memory, which means that human beings have certain psychological memories not only through the brain, but also through changes in the state of the body and the surrounding environment. If a man If you lose your genitals and have female sexual characteristics, you will become like a woman, and women will also become neutral because of their masculine appearance. Therefore, in order to ensure that Kurama Yakumo can keep up with his peers, we will give her Change the size of the prosthesis."
"However, the prosthetic body needs regular maintenance, and changing the size is not a cheap thing, so if the prosthetic body rate is high, the cost will be high, and not everyone will be able to accept prosthetic body in the future."
Tsunade chuckled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the research on this is just to let people get better medical treatment, even if they are seriously injured later, they can save their lives. Popularizing this whole-body prosthetic technology...the human body has its advantages."
"Exactly." Sasuke nodded.
At this moment, a certain Anbu who had been following the Fifth Hokage stood up, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "But although the girl was weak before, she was still healthy, right? So she is equivalent to Is it worthwhile to make prosthetic bodies for power? If people abandon their original limbs for power in the future, is that okay?"
This Anbu is Uchiha Itachi, because the people present are very close. Before Tsunade set off, he also said to the young people of the Naruto Guards, "You can give us your opinions", so it is not surprising that Itachi stood up.
Sasuke replied as if he didn't recognize the other party: "Do you disagree with this? Do you think we shouldn't do this and want to change?"
Itachi squatted in front of Sasuke and replied: "Yes, I don't think prosthetic body is a good thing. I don't think people should abandon their bodies. If possible, I think it's better not to do so. If it's mine If my relatives want to do this while in good health, I will definitely stop it, even if it takes strong measures."
Everyone watched the two brothers talking through a mask, and they felt a little funny in their hearts. Itachi's younger brother control attribute is really strong, and the originally heavy atmosphere became lighter, but Sasuke showed an inappropriate expression at this moment. laugh.
It's like the smile of an elder looking at a child, it's so inappropriate at this moment, but it's weirdly appropriate.
"Really? But it's your business, not mine, nor Kuruma Yakumo, nor anyone who desires power, a body that at least looks whole."
Sasuke said to his elder brother: "I think it is a person's freedom to do what he wants without violating the law and morality. Yakumo chose to become a prosthetic body, and we decided to give her this opportunity. Do you agree with it? We're fine."
"And, as long as it doesn't involve morality and law, I seldom use strong means to force others to change anything. Similarly, I don't need others to interfere with my road and freedom, so if you want to forcefully stop someone from doing it in the future If anything, why don't you go and see why he did this first, or ask the other party directly."
The kid spoke very gently, but everyone knew he was serious.
The two brothers looked at each other for a while, Itachi got up silently, and stood back behind Tsunade, and Sasuke continued to lead the crowd to visit as usual, as if the subtlety just now did not exist.
Until the end of the visit, and Itachi and Shisui completed the handover with the next guards, Shisui walked slowly towards home while leading Itachi, and sighed: "Ah, this is the first time I saw Sasuke so serious. As for rebutting Itachi, I almost thought you guys were going to quarrel, but Itachi let Sasuke go."
After a while, Zhishui didn't hear Itachi's echo, he turned his head to look: "Itachi?"
Itachi woke up and looked up, took a deep breath, and smiled apologetically at Zhishui: "Sorry, didn't react just now?"
"Eh? Are you okay?" Shishui's face was filled with worry.
Itachi shook his head and said nothing.
There was really nothing wrong with him, he was just... a little surprised by Sasuke's unprecedented gesture.
When he met Sasuke's eyes, he originally wanted to act like a big brother and retort a bit forcefully, but when he saw Sasuke's eyes, he lost his words.
Obviously Sasuke just opened those dark eyes, but Itachi saw something absolutely unshakable in it, and there was also an unspeakable overbearing.
At the same time, Itachi also sensed something more subtle at that moment.
He knows that Sasuke's unshakable will is "whether it is a prosthetic body", but something related to the level of will. Itachi almost immediately realized that Sasuke had never been angry before, even if he lost his temper in the first place. To that child, it was nothing more than dispensable coquetry.
But if he tried to influence Sasuke's will, Sasuke would be really angry, so even though he knew that Sasuke would never hurt him, Itachi subconsciously regressed.
It's astonishing...that he feels withdrawn and mentally vulnerable to his 9-year-old brother.
Sure enough, although the outside world calls himself the first genius of the Uchiha family, Sasuke's hidden power is still higher than him. Is the natural wooden escapeist so powerful?
The 15-year-old Uchiha Itachi discovered for the first time that his beloved younger brother also had a mystery that he didn't know.
But what Itachi didn't know was that Sasuke was simply touched by Itachi's psychological shadow from another world this time.
I think back when he was not yet 40 years old, he once did a task called "Tracing the Roots". In that parallel world, Brother Itachi wiped out his whole family without even saying hello, and he did it for himself. He arranged his fate.
Although Sasuke knew in his heart that Brother Itachi would probably not look so crooked when he was sitting in the town, and it was impossible to influence his life that had been released into the sky, but he couldn't stand another Brother Itachi and once said, "If you don't obey, don't be a god." idea.
This is enough to be a psychological shadow for any younger brother, so today Sasuke will inevitably be a little more serious, and when he is serious, he will show a little bit of domineering, which scares the three-star Itachi brother.
Sasuke swore he never mixed itachis from the two worlds!He was really unintentional!
Sakura stood not far away, watching Sasuke squatting there with his head in his arms, looking very distressed. Because of the fact that he accidentally scared Brother Itachi, Sasuke squatted there after the leader's inspection.
Ah, it's been a long time since I saw Sasuke flustered, this guy is really (?) hopelessly controlled!
You are cowardly now!Didn't he just accidentally show a bit of dominance to his brother?Just use your good skills to get over this kind of trivial matter!
#You rely on the cuteness to make the world? ! #
After a while, Sasuke was awakened by the beeping sound from the system.
At this moment, the group of six connected to their own systems at the same time, but what they didn't know was that this time, each of them received a different task.
