This set of materials gave a detailed introduction to a shocking limb-cloning technology.
What was even more astonishing was that, according to the data, this technology, once considered unattainable and extremely costly, had now been successfully conquered by Orochimaru, with its costs drastically reduced.
Now, for less than one million, this technology could be used to clone a batch of limbs in just three months.
And the success rate was an astounding sixty-three percent.
This price was so low it was hard to believe, practically dirt cheap.
The reason was simple. In Konoha Village, there existed a large number of ninja who had been forced to withdraw from the front lines due to limb disabilities.
However, one must never underestimate these ninja. Every single one of them possessed combat power that could not be ignored.
After all, successfully training a top-tier jonin-level expert was no easy task.
Not only did it require enormous financial investment, it often took ten years or even longer, and also demanded extraordinary talent.
Once a jonin-level ninja was deployed, leading a small squad to carry out A-rank or higher missions was absolutely effortless.
Under normal circumstances, the rewards for A-rank missions were commonly in the hundreds of thousands or even over a million.
Therefore, as long as even a single jonin could be fully healed, returned to the battlefield, and completed a few such high-difficulty missions, all investments could be easily recouped.
This was simply a business with guaranteed profit and no losses!
That said, in reality, Orochimaru had already mastered limb regeneration long ago. Uchiha Ryuri was a prime example.
The reason it had been difficult to popularize was because there were many thorny problems behind it.
First was the extremely high cost in both time and raw materials.
In addition, the probability of limb deformities and mutations was very difficult to control.
If one wanted to breed a limb perfectly suited for personal use, a sufficient supply of nutrients was absolutely necessary.
And it also required a fairly long period of gestation and growth.
Take an arm as an example. If one wanted to grow a newborn arm to be as thick and strong as that of an adult, it would take at least several years.
During that period, the resources consumed and costs invested were staggering.
You might spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to create a cloned limb, only for it to shockingly mutate into a bizarre mass of flesh, or take on all kinds of grotesquely twisted forms.
Yet Orochimaru's success rate in this area had reached as high as sixty-three percent.
This meant that under normal circumstances, success was guaranteed with just three to four attempts.
And the cost of each attempt was only around one million, practically pocket change.
Not only that, the total time required for the entire process had been drastically shortened to just a few months.
While everyone was focused on reviewing the materials, Minato began to explain in detail, "Right now, Orochimaru's limb regeneration technology has already developed to a very mature and complete level."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Based on this, Konoha Village will make full use of this advanced technology to attract large-scale inflows of external capital."
At this point, a confident smile appeared on Minato's face.
"At the same time, we will also accept ninja orders from various other countries."
"Of course, for orders from the Sand Village, Stone Village, and Cloud Village, the fees must be increased by more than tenfold."
"In this way, we can both maximize our own interests and place a certain level of restraint on these potential competitors."
Minato paused slightly as he laid out the follow-up plans, "In addition, we will begin promoting and issuing a unique currency that belongs exclusively to our Land of Fire."
"Through this method, we can further strengthen the independence and stability of our national economic system."
"And the massive funds absorbed through these various measures will be invested in full, without reservation, into key areas such as improving the living standards of our people and economic development."
"We will go all out to vigorously construct various types of road infrastructure, greatly enhancing the convenience and efficiency of transportation."
"Stimulate commercial activity, ignite market vitality."
As Minato's voice rang out, one policy after another aimed at driving economic development and promoting trade prosperity was announced.
At first, the elders below merely felt a bit surprised.
But as more and more policies emerged, the expressions on their faces gradually grew serious.
Minato continued to announce measures one after another, "Introducing policies to encourage the people to actively have children, increasing population numbers and strengthening the nation's manpower reserves…"
Each decree was like a massive stone thrown into a lake, stirring up layer after layer of ripples.
Every one of these policies required enormous financial investment, clearly aimed at rapidly converting limited resources into powerful strength.
The elders silently pondered. Such large-scale resource distribution must be hiding far-reaching ambitions.
What was especially noteworthy was that some of these decisions carried potential risks of aiding the enemy.
For example, the plan to provide medical assistance to hostile nations.
Doing so could indeed bring in considerable short-term revenue.
But in the long run, it could very well help even stronger opponents, giving former enemies even more power and turning them into serious threats to Konoha.
It was like handing a razor-sharp blade to the enemy, one that could turn back and strike at yourself at any time.
However, when the elders looked toward Uchiha Makumi and Tsunade, they found that both of their expressions were unusually calm, showing no sign of surprise at all.
It was obvious that they had long been aware of and had reached consensus on this series of seemingly aggressive and risky policies.
'Could it be…'
'That all of this is part of a carefully planned layout?'
'Were they waiting for the missing Uchiha Rengoku to return, and then officially launch a grand plan to unify the entire ninja world?'
The elders could not help but exchange glances, mutual understanding passing silently between them.
The guesses in their hearts were probably not far from the truth. Ever since Uchiha Rengoku's mysterious disappearance, the Uchiha clan had shown not the slightest panic or anxiety, instead remained calm and composed.
This undoubtedly showed that they had absolute confidence in Rengoku's safe return.
After all, this whole series of policies, no matter how you looked at them, was clearly laying the groundwork for what was to come.
In an instant, the entire meeting room fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Only the faint rustling sounds of pages being turned could be heard from time to time.
The elders present carefully flipped through the documents in their hands while exchanging thoughts with one another through their eyes.
And what they were thinking was, for the most part, exactly the same.
