This is actually a very terrifying concept.
Because the number of Genin is too large.
"Is it possible to create even stronger puppets?"
Chiyo asked Sasori.
"It's possible, but with current technology, the cost is too high. Small-scale promotion is okay, but large-scale promotion would be a losing proposition."
Sasori's words had two meanings.
One was that it's not possible now, but it might be in the future.
The other was that the dwarf already had the conditions for large-scale promotion.
And whether it's continuing to develop the next generation of products, or promoting this puppet on a large scale, or even production lines, all require Chiyo, the head of the puppet unit, and the Third Kazekage to nod in agreement.
Thinking of this, Sasori glanced at Shimizu, his expression a little hesitant.
"What's wrong? Sasori?"
Chiyo noticed the abnormality in her grandson's expression.
"It's just that there's a little problem that's not easy to solve at the moment."
"What problem?"
Chiyo asked with concern.
She couldn't think of any other shortcomings.
Today, Shimizu and Sasori, this disciple and this grandson, had brought her too much shock.
She knew they were thinking of establishing their own school and becoming puppet masters like the Second Kazekage and Monzaemon.
She also firmly believed that with Shimizu and Sasori's talents, they had a good chance of achieving this, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Sasori said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay, how much money?"
Chiyo said nonchalantly.
She had been a ninja for decades and had carried out countless high-level missions. She had saved a lot of money at home, and her son and daughter-in-law had also left behind a very generous inheritance. Her assets were among the top few in the entire Sunagakure.
Spending a little money was nothing.
"I took out almost half of the money at home."
Sasori smiled sheepishly, rarely showing a cold face.
Having lived a life of luxury since childhood, he didn't value money very much, but he knew that his family had a lot of it.
He also felt that it was a lot to have burned through almost half of it in less than a year.
But it was precisely because of Sasori's strong financial support that their research and development speed could be so fast. Otherwise, even with Shimizu pointing the direction based on the technology of another world, it wouldn't have been so smooth.
Chiyo paused.
"Sazan."
"Elder Chiyo!"
Sazan of the Sand was still estimating how much half of the Chiyo family's savings would be. Hearing Chiyo's call, he immediately retracted his thoughts and stood at attention.
"Go to the Kazekage Building immediately and invite the Third Kazekage here."
Chiyo looked at the two puppets and then at the production line.
"Just say that this worthless disciple of mine has dragged my grandson and the entire Sixth Branch into creating something extraordinary again."
Chiyo paused and added:
"Something even more extraordinary than the previous canal, something that can further enhance the strength and foundation of Sunagakure."
Sazan of the Sand immediately accepted the order and went to the Kazekage Building to invite the Third Kazekage.
At this time, Chiyo turned to look at Sasori and Shimizu.
"Oh, that little bit of money, I'll shamelessly ask the Kazekage for it later. What you've done is here after all. The Third Kazekage will definitely give this compensation, and he will definitely find a way to allocate a sum of money to research, experiment, apply, and promote your work."
At the same time, in the Kazekage Building.
Rasa was holding a document and reporting to the Third Kazekage.
The Third Kazekage was resting his chin on one hand, silently evaluating Rasa's recent performance.
As Rasa's teacher, he hoped that Rasa could learn from the last incident and improve.
But Rasa had disappointed him again.
The Third Kazekage couldn't determine whether Rasa had learned a lesson, but he could see that Rasa had been eager to do something recently to make up for his mistakes and prove his ability.
However, in some matters, due to his own lack of ability and prestige, he often adopted overly extreme methods.
If such a person became the leader of a force, he would definitely not be able to sit firmly in his position.
"In addition, Third Kazekage, the training base of the Anbu is a bit too old now. I'm wondering if it should be renovated and rebuilt."
After Rasa finished reporting, he put away the document and said respectfully to the Third Kazekage.
"How much are you applying for?"
The Third Kazekage asked.
"Not much, 100 million Ryo will do."
Two years ago, it would have been difficult for Sunagakure to come up with 100 million Ryo. After all, the finances were tight, and the entire village was waiting to use the money. If there was no war to plunder, they could only rob Peter to pay Paul and muddle through.
But now, with Sunagakure becoming a victorious nation in the Second Shinobi World War, the number of missions has increased, and there is a steady stream of revenue from the canal, as well as reparations from Konoha, Sunagakure has ushered in the wealthiest period since the founding of the village.
Rasa estimated that the village's remaining reserves were over 2 billion Ryo.
"Oh..."
The Third Kazekage rubbed his brow in distress.
He roughly knew what Rasa wanted to do.
Rasa's style of doing things was destined to affect his reputation and prestige, so he wanted to seek some benefits for the Anbu to salvage some of it.
"Rasa, you should know that the village still has a lot of reserves, but a lot of it has already been earmarked. We just obtained a large number of sealing techniques from Konoha. In order to research a seal that can stably suppress the Tailed Beasts, the funds for the Sealing Team cannot be reduced. Moreover, the village's barrier has not been repaired since the First Kazekage established it, so it must be repaired.
Otherwise, within twenty years, the barrier protecting the village will become ineffective. Once the enemy breaks through the Ichi no Tani, you know what the consequences will be.
There's also the Medical Team, which has just been established and also needs a lot of money. You should also know how much advantage Tsunade's medical ninjas have brought to Konoha on the battlefield. Now all the villages are promoting this aspect, and we must not fall behind.
There's also the Ninja Academy, which will expand its enrollment this year..."
Before the Third Kazekage could finish speaking, an Anbu member knocked on the door outside.
"Third Kazekage, Sazan of the Sand reports that Elder Chiyo has invited you to the Puppet Unit, saying that there are extremely important results to report."
The Third Kazekage's spirit suddenly lifted.
