Bang!
The Clown Gatekeeper appeared in the Origin Ball Space.
Satoru looked at the moon in the sky.
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's body information is too vast."
As soon as he entered the space and refined his Chakra, he could feel a massive amount of information emanating from Kaguya inside the moon.
This information came from the nerves he had placed within Kaguya's body.
Fortunately, his Space-Time Ninjutsu mastery was decent, otherwise, he might not even have been able to receive the nerve coordinates.
In these past days, besides his daily life and research into new Ninjutsu, he spent a significant amount of time here.
This was only because the information from Kaguya allowed him to learn a great deal.
"Who knows how many years it will take to thoroughly research."
Satoru no longer held much hope for fully developing Kaguya's body information.
This was because the information he read had to be researched before he could apply it to himself.
For information he had prior knowledge of, the rest would require extensive research.
And there wasn't much Ōtsutsuki-related research information in the Ninja World.
Naturally, he lacked the shoulders of his predecessors to stand on.
He could only rely on himself.
However, Chakra had its own method of research.
He only needed to use the information beneficial to him to enhance his own abilities.
He didn't necessarily have to completely research it...
Konoha.
Hokage Office.
"A new department, the Technology Development Bureau?
Satoru, what exactly are you thinking?"
Kakashi waited for several days, and Satoru finally brought up the matter of the new department to him.
Satoru said, "Now that we've entered an era of peace, Konoha is changing with each passing day, but war will never disappear from the Ninja World. We must build sufficient foundations and technological reserves to prevent sudden wars.
The Technology Development Bureau is a department dedicated to developing various Ninjutsu, technologies, and other existing elements. It perfectly fills the current gap in Konoha's development departments."
Within Konoha, most Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, etc., were developed by individual Ninja and then provided to Konoha.
There was no dedicated research and development department.
This was a missing strength.
Kakashi considered the concept of the Technology Development Bureau proposed by Satoru and realized it would indeed be very beneficial to Konoha.
"You're right, Konoha is missing a department in this area, but... now that the war is over, the number of mercenary missions has plummeted, and there aren't enough resources to fund the construction of the Technology Development Bureau."
The end of the war indeed had a significant impact on Ninja.
The most immediate consequence was the reduction in resources for Ninja survival.
The demand for Ninja was decreasing.
It was only because the Ninja Association was established a while ago; otherwise, over time, the Village's strength would become weaker and weaker.
Without the pressure of war and with fewer missions, many Ninja would struggle due to insufficient resources.
Establishing another new department was a bit difficult.
As Hokage, Kakashi couldn't just consider one side of the issue.
Furthermore, the Technology Development Bureau was a department requiring long-term investment with uncertain returns, and for Konoha at present, it offered no immediate practical benefits.
Therefore, he still had reservations.
Of course, he could also think of the benefits, but those would only come after it had matured in later development.
"...That's too pathetic, isn't it? The world's largest Village has no resources; it's simply disgraceful. Kakashi, you need to work harder!" Satoru was speechless upon hearing this.
Kakashi: "It's only been a few months since the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, and the losses from the war haven't recovered yet, so there's nothing we can do."
The losses from the Fourth Shinobi World War were not just human casualties; the land affected by the Ten-Tails' cataclysm caused severe losses to many cultivated farmlands, mining sites, and other resources.
"How about this: my family will invest the funds. Consider it as my family buying 10% of the shares. These 10% of the profits will forever be my family's dividend, along with a veto right over the Technology Development Bureau. I'll cover all the founding funds for the Technology Development Bureau, how about that?"
Satoru stated his idea.
"...Hey, Satoru, don't be so greedy, isn't your appetite too big?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's eyes nearly popped out.
Even if it was just a name, it involved significant power, not to mention a veto right. This meant that the Satoru's family would always be a core member of that department in the future.
This was the most important point.
Konoha had never had such a thing; wouldn't that be equivalent to distributing the power of Konoha's high-ranking officials!
Although the so-called Technology Development Bureau was just an empty shell right now.
He realized that Satoru was now paving the way for his descendants.
"All the funds, you know. The Village only needs to provide a name and access to resource channels. It doesn't have to do anything, just establish a department from scratch, and it's only 10%!
It's like I invest 100 million, and the Village immediately earns 90 million. How good is that?"
Kakashi: "This is not a small matter. I need to hold a Hokage meeting and discuss it with the others."
What a headache.
Why can't Konoha have more money?
Being Hokage is truly difficult.
He doesn't want to be Hokage and wants to withdraw from the front lines early, probably for this reason.
After all, becoming Hokage naturally grants a lot of power, but it would be absolutely impossible to do what Satoru just proposed.
No one would agree to that.
The Hokage must treat everyone in the Village as family.
"Of course, important matters still need to be discussed. Actually, I think this matter is all good and no harm, after all, something like the Technology Development Bureau didn't exist before, everything has to be created, and the Village hasn't lost anything." Satoru chuckled.
Kakashi rolled his eyes: "I'm the Hokage; I'm not stupid. You clearly had this planned all along."
Each of Konoha's various clans is actually in a period of recovery. Industries like the Nara Clan's deer farm and the Aburame Clan's insect farm are all in recovery.
Other clans are the same.
The only one thriving was Satoru, who made a fortune selling books.
Ninja all over the world, even ordinary people, had a copy of "new ninja concept," which was a huge success.
Even if other clans wanted to invest, they were powerless.
Of course, Kakashi had no conspiratorial suspicions about Satoru's proposal; he was only concerned about the impact of the Satoru's family consistently serving as a core of a Village department after Satoru's death.
After all, not everyone is Satoru.
Everyone has their own ideas.
"Hahaha, don't worry. In the first term, Orochimaru and I will serve as leaders, so you can rest assured about the profits. The results should not be too late."
Satoru didn't care at all and laughed heartily.
Since he had children, he had to be responsible for them. Perhaps his legacy would continue a little longer.
He couldn't always watch over his descendants.
He was sure that Konoha's high-ranking officials would agree.
But it definitely wouldn't reach 10%; after discussion, it should be around 5%.
