Therefore, Hakushi is quite confident in his judgment that Madara is ultimately the greatest trump card.
As long as this obstacle is overcome, Madara's problem will not be a concern.
And there is only one way to overcome it, which is to become stronger than Madara, or at least equal or slightly weaker, using endurance tactics to wear down the enemy's pace.
Hmm... with the combined strength of the three of them, even if they risk everything, they probably can't achieve this and will most likely be wiped out by Madara.
Therefore, before being prepared to face such power, the best way is to avoid Madara, restrict his range of activities, eliminate the White Zetsu, and break all the 'tentacles' he extends, making the hidden Madara a blind man without ears and eyes.
For Madara, intelligence gathering is a very important link.
Even if not directly confronting Madara, eliminating the White Zetsu can weaken Madara's power.
"Aren't we short on manpower at the moment?"
Ruri asked in this way.
"Yes, because the Ninja School has just opened, I have to be responsible for teaching medical ninjutsu and other courses, and I also have to go for non-business duties as an advisor..."
Thinking about it, I really do hold multiple positions; ever since Ruri left recently, I've basically been stuck at the office, spending most of my time there.
No choice, aside from everything else, the cultivation of medical ninja cannot be delayed.
While Konoha has some cooperation, the medical ninja resources there are only a part, and it will take years before they can be recycled.
But the Land of Demons also needs medical ninja on duty promptly.
Medical ninja, in the current Ninja Realm, is a highly sought-after profession. You can't find any 'wild' medical ninja outside, much less attract and recruit them; you can only invest a large amount of resources for training.
The benchmark in the medical field is currently Konoha.
The investment in medical ninja by the Land of Demons has just begun.
Although Hakushi is confident in catching up with Konoha in the future, this is an extraordinarily long time.
The development in the medical field for the Land of Demons is only in the development of medication and equipment, while in terms of 'doctors,' it is relatively deficient.
And these professions are necessary for filling out a robust country.
Having a complete, fully self-owned industrial system is more important than anything else.
Hakushi understands well that lacking a complete industrial system will inevitably result in being subject to others in some way in the future, unable to be independent.
Therefore, this Third Shinobi World War is particularly crucial.
Armaments and medical fields, in times of war, are indeed lucrative industries.
After just a few months of the war's start, the order list for Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company is already a suffocating astronomical figure.
Just a few days ago, the Hidden Cloud Village also placed a large order secretly, and it's clear that the Hidden Cloud Village also plans to officially enter this Shinobi World War.
Konoha, Hidden Sand, Hidden Rock, Hidden Cloud - these four Great Ninja Villages are fighting each other, leaving only the isolated Hidden Mist without a clear stance.
Nevertheless, the Hidden Mist Village has some cooperation with this pharmaceutical company here, just not as deeply as the other Ninja Villages.
This is related to the Hidden Mist Village's isolationist policy.
After all, it is the Blood Mist Village.
When Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company first entered, it encountered a lot of resistance, and it was through connections with the Daimyo that they barely managed to sign various treaties with the Hidden Mist Village.
Such as not inquiring about Hidden Mist Village's affairs, not wandering around the village freely, not gathering information casually, and only staying within a small area unless necessary…
To this day, Hakushi doesn't know what the internal details of the Hidden Mist Village look like.
Being so closed to outsiders, there's really nothing left to say.
After Ruri's departure, Hakushi was left alone to handle things here.
Ruri usually remained an idle high-ranking officer whose tasks were only training and fighting. After she left, Hakushi could roughly guess that Ruri had gone off to find a secluded place to train.
The appearance of Uchiha Madara had stirred her strong competitive spirit.
"I really want to find a capable secretary..."
Hakushi sighed while sipping a cup of hot tea to relax.
"So what kind of secretary does Hakushi-kun want? Would someone like me do?"
Hearing that voice, Hakushi knew who it was that came over.
"One who's not forgetful with tasks. Just don't cause me trouble, and that's the greatest help."
Hakushi said this.
She's always goofing off, and whenever she's assigned a task, she just loafs around.
"But I can offer Hakushi-kun all sorts of services."
Ayane wore a playful smile.
"You're almost twenty, no longer a young girl."
The message was to tell her not to act cute here; it's not charming at all.
"Nonsense, I'll only be eighteen next year."
"Is your age decreasing?"
"Yep, but it's only here that something is indeed increasing in value. Want to give it a touch?"
Ayane pointed at the massive object in her neckline.
It did look quite tempting.
But he's exhausted every day now and doesn't want to die from it one day.
Dealing with just Ruri alone was already a bit overwhelming.
Adding someone who seems even more vigorous...
Spare me. It's really getting to be a bit much. A sigh from the heart.
"You heard what Ruri said earlier, right?"
Hakushi returned to the main point.
"Although I didn't share memories, I did hear about Uchiha Madara."
