The Police Force is the Uchiha Clan's own domain. It holds high power and status in Konoha, and those who can enter are mostly elites within the clan.
Senju Tobirama used the Police Force as a price to appease a super-wealthy family like the Uchiha.
Even if the Medical Department is not as powerful as the Police Force, once established, it is still a major department of the same level, playing an irreplaceable role within Konoha Village.
They couldn't help but be tempted.
It is impossible to seize the Medical Department for the Uchiha like they did with the Police Force, but if they could get a piece of the pie, it would be a good thing worth fighting for.
"How much preparation has Tsunade made for this department? If you can participate, what status can you occupy within it?"
"And how do you want the family to support you?"
The Grand Elder sat in the main seat, sitting upright, and took the initiative to speak to Uchiha Gen.
The two of them were putting on a show.
The latter replied again: "The Senju will put in the effort to establish this department, and my teacher, Orochimaru, will also support it from behind."
"As for me, in terms of Medical Ninjutsu, I and Sarutobi Biwako are high-level Medical Ninja in the Village second only to Tsunade. If the Medical Department is established, the three of us will definitely be the top three in the department."
"Arranging for some clan members to enter won't be a problem, but how far they climb depends on whether those clan members are competitive enough."
All the clan members quickly extracted three keywords from Uchiha Gen's words.
Senju, Orochimaru, Sarutobi Biwako.
In the eyes of these Uchiha, the Senju Clan has competed with them for many years; even if they don't like the Senju, they highly recognize the strength and influence of the Senju Clan, believing it to be an existence equal to the Uchiha.
Orochimaru is a newly rising Kage-level Expert in Konoha, and even if his foundation is shallow, he is still a force to be reckoned with.
As for Sarutobi Biwako, with the Third Hokage as her husband, he definitely needs to avoid suspicion. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't step in personally, and the Sarutobi Clan behind her would only remain neutral.
However, if conditions permit and Konoha really has the energy to push for the establishment of the Medical Department, they would certainly be happy to push Sarutobi Biwako to a high position.
The true high-level officials of Konoha are those few Advisors, followed by the heads of major departments such as the Jounin leader, the Police Force, and the Anbu, who are the highest-ranking individuals under those high-level officials and are also within the core circle of power in Konoha.
The Senju Clan, represented by Tsunade, plus Orochimaru, this combination already has a certain weight in Konoha.
If the Uchiha Clan is added, that weight will be even greater.
The Second Elder pondered for a moment and said: "If Tsunade and Orochimaru lead it, and the Senju Clan supports it from behind, then we can give it a try. It's just casting a vote at the Jounin Council Meeting and saying a few words; we don't need to pay any price for now."
"That may be true, but during wartime, the Village may not have much energy to promote a new Ninja profession. If we enter, the Third Hokage might ask us to pay."
The Third Elder stroked his short beard and said.
He is responsible for the clan's commerce and production and also has some power to mobilize finances, so he knows very well how much the Uchiha Clan has.
Everyone knows they have strong power, a deep foundation, and deep pockets, but they also have many expenses, and many people are eyeing their Clan Treasury.
Not many people have the guts to target their Clan Treasury, but the Third Hokage and his group definitely have that guts.
"No matter. If they really want us to pay, there will be more room for us to maneuver. If the return is sufficient, it might not be impossible."
"And don't forget the Senju. Although they have been low-key in recent years, their foundation is not much worse than ours. If it really just requires money, Tsunade will definitely be willing to pay."
"Besides, whether we pay or not is our business. Even if the Third Hokage wants it, it depends on whether we are willing."
The Grand Elder shook his head and said.
If they really don't pay, can the Third Hokage send someone to wipe out the Uchiha Clan and rob the Clan Treasury?
"Whether to do this or not, let's see what the clan members think, especially the Jonin in the clan."
Following the Grand Elder's words, many people present turned their attention back to Uchiha Gen.
If there is no price to pay, and it only requires casting a vote at the Jounin Council Meeting, that is not a problem. It also happens to be a way to build a relationship with Uchiha Gen.
A high-level Medical Ninja who is proficient in Medical Ninjutsu might save their lives at any time.
These Jonin with high status in the clan had gone to see the clan leader yesterday.
They were well aware of how serious Uchiha Hisaku's injuries were at the time.
Judging by past standards, such injuries were almost certain death.
Saving a life was already unexpected, and hearing that there was even a chance to save him back was even more astonishing.
In case they suffer a near-fatal injury themselves, having a little friendship and asking Uchiha Gen for help might allow them to pull their lives back from the brink of death, just like the clan leader.
Not to mention that Uchiha Gen is destined to be a pivotal figure in the clan, and his rise is extremely fast, and he hasn't had any conflicts of interest with others in the clan yet, so they naturally don't mind doing him a favor.
"The existence of Medical Ninja is indeed very necessary. I will cast this vote at the Jounin Council Meeting."
"Not bad. If we can cultivate some Medical Ninja for the family, it is also a good thing."
"The Senju and Uchiha are cooperating again; how could this not succeed?"
The statement of the Jonin in the clan surprised Uchiha Gen quite a bit.
They actually all agreed.
"Everyone, I, Uchiha Gen, accept this favor. I will surely repay it in the future."
Uchiha Gen turned around and said to the clan members.
Tsunade has treated him well; she is the person who has helped him the most besides Orochimaru and the Grand Elder. Even without the last time she helped him heal, he would be willing to do his best to help Tsunade.
The opening of the Medical Ninja system is almost the most important thing in the first half of Tsunade's life.
"You are too polite. We are all clan members; this little favor is nothing."
"No problem. If we get injured in the future, there will be times when we need Medical Ninja. Maybe we can save our lives on the battlefield at some point."
"That's right. Maybe one day I will also need you to help me heal."
The Grand Elder, who was presiding over this Clan Meeting on behalf of the clan leader, sat in the lower seat of the main seat, watching this scene, his eyes flashing, lost in thought.
The effect of playing the Medical Ninjutsu card was even better than he imagined.
No one wants to die, even the Uchiha Clan, which has the most crazy people.
The scene in front of him is exactly what he wanted to see.
Without building more friendships with these high-status clan members, how could he push Uchiha Gen to a high position in the clan?
