In the following few days.
The Akatsuki Village Scientific Research Center worked overtime to conduct various experiments, and soon handed over all kinds of data obtained from the experiments to Uchiha Makoto.
Hikarikage's Office.
Uchiha Makoto sat on the chair, his eyes fixed tightly on the crystal-clear, gem-like blue stone in his hand.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Right on his desk were various pieces of intelligence regarding the Stone of Gelel.
It could only be said that... it was a mix of joy and worry.
As everyone knows.
This planet of the ninja world contains extremely rich natural energy. Being valued by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who cross the universe in their physical bodies, is enough to prove how terrifying the energy of this planet is, so much so that the Ōtsutsuki Clan continuously sends people to this planet.
The most obvious evidence is the various plants in the ninja world.
Under the influence of natural energy, in the primeval forests of this ninja world where humans haven't set foot, one can easily see terrifying giant trees hundreds of meters high.
And in animals, the most conspicuous are various powerful beasts and monsters. For example, the three great sage regions of the ninja world: Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave. These areas are inhabited by a large number of terrifyingly powerful creatures.
The essence of the Stone of Gelel is actually crystallized solid natural energy, and it completely lacks the overly violent flaw of natural energy.
According to experimental data...
Just a few dozen fist-sized high-purity Stones of Gelel can meet all of Akatsuki Village's energy consumption for a day at present.
Uchiha Makoto could only marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature, able to give birth to such exaggerated energy ore in the ninja world.
It can be said that the Stone of Gelel is the key to starting the energy revolution in the ninja world.
But unfortunately, such a vein doesn't exist within the territory of the Land of Fire, a country rich in resources.
The veins surveyed so far only exist in that barren land of the Land of Wind.
Uchiha Makoto pondered that this should be related to the history of the Land of Wind. This area was the Land of Ancestors of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya back then, which is where the God Tree took root.
Perhaps this high-energy-density ore should also be related to that God Tree....
Of course, these are not important now. What is important is how to get hold of the vein of the Stone of Gelel.
This is a solid energy deposit, unique in the ninja world.
What the great powers on the Blue Planet in his previous life fought and gambled for was actually energy.
How much money can ninjas earn by killing people?
Even for the God of Shinobi like Senju Hashirama, doing an S-rank mission would earn him at most ten million ryō. But the value of the energy business is enough to make the entire ninja world jealous, and it earns money every second while sitting at home.
Sunagakure currently doesn't know the huge benefits hidden in the vein of the Stone of Gelel, but with the continuous promotion of the chakra energy revolution, the other party will definitely realize this.
If this news is leaked.
Sunagakure, no, the entire Land of Wind, the Daimyō would fight Akatsuki Village to the bitter end even if he had to pawn his pants.
The Land of Wind has suffered for so long; this is a gift from heaven to the Land of Wind.
However, the problem lies here.
Such huge benefits have made Uchiha Makoto eye the vein of the Stone of Gelel, and he will absolutely not let go. But in the legal principles of the ninja world, it is certainly not Uchiha Makoto's turn to covet it; the vein of the Stone of Gelel is a treasure belonging completely to the Land of Wind.
Uchiha Makoto has considered snatching it by force and solving this problem through war.
But the story of the Graveyard of Empires.... Uchiha Makoto is very familiar with it.
Leaving aside that rashly starting a war would attract criticism from public opinion in the ninja world against Akatsuki Village.
Simply using war to solve this matter would be very difficult.
First of all, Akatsuki Village is too far from the Land of Wind. Not only are there several countries in between, but the Land of Wind itself is a desert area. Sending Akatsuki Village's troops on a long expedition, stretching the supply line so long, and starting a war with Sunagakure is purely a losing business.
Secondly, the area where the vein of the Stone of Gelel is buried is currently a no-man's-land. Such a harsh environment makes the mining cost sky-high to begin with.
Even if the war is won, it doesn't necessarily mean the vein of the Stone of Gelel can be mined smoothly.
There is no helping it.
The situation in the entire Land of Wind is already very bad now, with sand everywhere; besides sand, there is only sand.
When people are at rock bottom, the only way is up.
Sunagakure ninjas will not give up the hope of changing such a harsh environment.
Plus, ninja mobility is simply too high.
Even if Akatsuki Village wins on the frontal battlefield and reaches the Sunagakure headquarters, as long as Sunagakure continues to fight and engages in guerrilla warfare with Akatsuki ninjas in the desert, they can drag it out until Akatsuki Village has to return to the negotiating table.
And there is the neighboring Konoha...
After fighting such a war, Akatsuki would probably be severely weakened. If Konoha comes to pick the peaches at this time...
That guy Senju Tobirama is not a good person; he is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
With multiple factors superimposed, Akatsuki Village simply cannot afford such a cost.
"A war over the vein of the Stone of Gelel will definitely break out, but if we simply use force to solve the problem, this will absolutely not work. We must use wisdom."
"First of all, Akatsuki Village must stand on the moral high ground in name, otherwise, things will become very troublesome."
"We must also bring Konoha along. We definitely can't eat alone this time; we can only strive for the greatest benefits for Akatsuki Village as much as possible."
"The most critical thing is Sunagakure; it is a huge trouble, and we must find a way to solve it."
Uchiha Makoto thought this in his heart.
He absolutely did not intend to easily give up the vein of the Stone of Gelel and must find a way to get it into his hands.
And a righteous excuse is a necessity. Having a righteous cause can avoid a lot of trouble.
If he used the excuse of washing powder (WMDs)... it seems inappropriate.
Uchiha Makoto first ruled out this method, and after careful consideration, he thought of the Six Kage Summit.
According to the plot of the original Naruto story.
When Senju Hashirama convened the Five Kage Summit, because the Land of Wind was full of yellow sand and unable to produce, the First Kazekage opened his mouth like a lion.
He not only demanded the fertile land of the Land of Fire but also wanted to take away thirty percent of the funds for purchasing Tailed Beasts. This almost caused public anger against the First Kazekage, leading to a collective attack.
Such demands, even the always gentle Senju Hashirama couldn't agree to.
Moreover, behind Senju Hashirama stood Senju Tobirama, that naturally evil old Senju ghost.
In the end, the First Kazekage should have received some compensation, but it absolutely couldn't have been those harsh conditions he initially proposed.
However.... this is a very good entry point.
