At this moment, Shikaku spoke up with a hint of hesitation, "Lord Fourth Hokage, if it's only the profits generated from this limb cloning technology, I'm afraid it's still a bit lacking."
Minato gave a slight nod in agreement and continued, "Of course it won't be just this. Tsunade and Orochimaru have already made very remarkable progress in the field of life sciences."
"Right now, all those difficult and complicated illnesses that used to leave people helpless have been completely overcome."
He paused for a moment, then went on to explain, "The reason we're expanding the hospital is mainly so we can admit and treat patients suffering from those diseases that were once hard to cure."
Hearing this, the people below could not help but show a bit of surprise, though it was still within what they could accept.
Some of them even unconsciously turned their gaze toward where Akimichi Torifu was sitting.
It turned out that before this, Akimichi Torifu had not only suffered from organ failure, but also a number of other illnesses.
Back when Orochimaru had not yet returned, even Tsunade, with all her superb medical skills, had no choice but to pronounce a "death sentence" on him.
However, after Tsunade began staying long term at the Uchiha Hospital, it did not take long before Akimichi Torifu's illnesses miraculously disappeared.
No matter where one is, or what kind of world one comes from, people's need for medical care is always the same.
Under such circumstances, trying not to make a profit from it would be almost impossible.
In fact, although Tsunade possesses extraordinary medical ability, she still cannot cure every disease one hundred percent of the time.
But the Water of Life that Rengoku obtained after going through countless hardships was clearly not something that could be left unused on a shelf.
That Water of Life contains extremely vast life energy, and it has astonishing effects on all kinds of illnesses.
If Tsunade's power is combined with Orochimaru's, then they can practically treat every patient in the world.
For those who are loaded with money yet suffering from terminal illness, as long as they can recover and be healed, no matter how much money it costs, they would be willing to pay it without hesitation.
In addition, within these documents there are also several projects and items that are still waiting to be further developed, such as the chakra storage device.
It should be specially noted that its true purpose, once successfully developed, is to store chakra and apply it in civilian fields.
For example, in agricultural farming, the chakra released from the storage device could be used to power farming tools; or during field irrigation, the chakra inside could provide the driving force, and so on in similar situations.
Although using electricity is already quite convenient nowadays, if a brand new energy supply method can be developed, it will without doubt bring great convenience to people's daily lives.
From then on, ninjas could even earn income by selling their excess chakra, adding another skill to make a living.
However, the related machinery is still in the research stage. What is presented here is only a proposal.
Those who can serve as elders in Konoha truly include many capable and talented individuals.
At the very least, quite a number of them could tell at a glance that the various ideas listed in this proposal are all realistically feasible.
"The above is only part of the proposal. Let's put these contents into practice first."
"As for the follow-up matters, we can move forward step by step in an orderly way."
Minato indeed knows very little about these kinds of things, but as the saying goes, each profession has its own specialty. Professional matters can simply be handed over to professionals.
All he needs to do is give the orders. After that, the elders below will naturally coordinate and handle everything properly.
At this point, the meeting was nearing its end, and Minato then announced that it was adjourned.
The elders walked out of the meeting room in small groups of two or three, lowering their voices as they whispered to each other along the way.
From time to time, someone cast a curious and probing look toward Minato.
After all, Minato's appearance looked extremely young, no different from when he died.
Such a situation clearly meant that he had only been brought back within the last two years.
Everyone knew that Orochimaru had previously been devoted to carrying out a series of experiments considered taboo.
Now that the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, had successfully "returned," it was hard for people to stop themselves from guessing and making connections.
Was all of this done by Orochimaru?
Or had Orochimaru already mastered the technology to revive the dead?
Of course, to the outside world, Konoha would absolutely never claim that Minato had come back from the dead.
After all, a man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty.
So at most, they would tell the outside world that Minato had suffered extremely severe injuries during the Nine-Tails incident back then.
After so many years of recovery and treatment, he had finally fully healed.
As for whether others believed that explanation, that was not something Konoha could control.
As long as they could successfully fool some simple-minded people, that would be enough.
Right after this high-level meeting ended, Namikaze Minato, in his official capacity as the Fourth Hokage, formally sent sternly worded letters to the three major ninja villages, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure, at the same time.
At the same moment, all kinds of related news spread rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
In an instant, the Four Great Nations fell into an uproar.
The Fourth Hokage, who had once been believed to have died in that terrifying Nine-Tails disaster, had actually "come back to life"?
Although Konoha's official statement insisted that Namikaze Minato had only been gravely injured back then and had now finally recovered, and that he had resolutely taken up the heavy responsibility of leadership again when Konoha was left without a leader, such an explanation was simply too far-fetched, practically lacking any credibility.
However, the series of dazzling, coordinated moves that Konoha immediately followed up with instantly shook the entire ninja world.
They forcefully invited the three ninja villages that had been hostile toward them to come and discuss so-called post-war matters.
Anyone with clear eyes could see that this was not some equal discussion at all. It was plainly holding them accountable.
After all, it was those three villages that had launched the invasion against Konoha of the Land of Fire.
Yet Konoha had shown astonishing strength, actually fighting one against three powerful ninja villages.
And it had crushed all of their forces.
Unfortunately, because the key figure Rengoku suddenly disappeared at the critical moment, the follow-up handling of the war had to be temporarily put on hold.
Now, Namikaze Minato, this former legend, had once again taken the seat of Hokage and did not hesitate to pick up the mission Rengoku had not completed.
The way he acted was exactly the same as Uchiha Rengoku, just as decisive and tough.
Facing such a situation, the other ninja villages, who had once been aggressive and imposing, instantly fell into confusion.
