Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 136 The Grand Elder's Deep Scheme

The police department is the Uchiha clan's private domain, holding great power and status in Konoha, and those who can enter are mostly the clan's elite.

Tobirama Senju appeased the Uchiha clan, a super-powerful family, by using a police department as a price.

Even though the medical department doesn't have the same high status and power as the police department, once established, it is still a large department of the same level and plays an irreplaceable role in Konoha Village.

This made it impossible for them not to be tempted.

It's impossible to directly seize control of the medical department like the police department did, but getting a share of the pie wouldn't be a bad thing and is worth fighting for.

"How much preparation did Tsunade do for this department? If you could get involved, what position could you occupy in it?"

How much support do you expect from your family?

The Grand Elder sat upright in the main seat and addressed Uchiha Genji.

They're putting on a show.

The latter replied again, "The Senju Society will contribute to the establishment of this department, and my teacher Orochimaru will also support us from behind."

As for me, in terms of medical ninjutsu, Sarutobi Biwako and I are the second-highest level medical ninjas in the village after Tsunade. If a medical department is established, the three of us will definitely be among the top three in the department.

Arranging for some clansmen to go in shouldn't be a problem, but how far they can climb depends on their own determination.

All the clansmen quickly identified three keywords from Uchiha Gen's words.

Senju, Orochimaru, Sarutobi Biwako.

In the eyes of these Uchiha, the Senju clan had been their rivals for many years. Even if they disliked the Senju, they still recognized the Senju clan's strength and influence, considering them to be on par with the Uchiha.

Orochimaru is a newly emerging Kage-level powerhouse in Konoha. Even if his foundation is a bit weak, he is still a formidable figure.

As for Sarutobi Biwako, the Third Hokage, as her husband, would definitely have to avoid suspicion. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't personally get involved, and consequently, the Sarutobi clan would also remain neutral.

However, if conditions permit and Konoha has the resources to promote the establishment of a medical department, they would certainly be happy to elevate Sarutobi Biwako to a higher position.

The true high-ranking officials in Konoha are those few advisors, followed by the heads of major departments such as the Jonin squad leaders, the police department, and the Anbu's captain and vice-captain. These are the highest-ranking officials below them, and they are also located in the core circle of Konoha's power.

With Tsunade as the representative of the Senju clan, and Orochimaru as well, this combination already holds considerable weight within Konoha.

If we add the Uchiha clan, the weight would be even greater.

After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder said, "If Tsunade and Orochimaru are in charge, and the Senju clan is supporting them, then we can give it a try. It's just a matter of casting a vote and saying a few words during the Jonin election. We don't need to pay any price for now."

"That being said, during wartime, the village may not have much spare capacity to promote a new ninja profession. If we were to get involved, the Third Hokage might ask us to contribute money."

The Third Elder stroked his short beard and said.

He was in charge of the clan's commerce and production, and also had some power to allocate funds, so he knew very well how much wealth the Uchiha clan possessed.

Everyone knows they are powerful, have a deep foundation, and are very wealthy, but they also have high expenditures, and many people are eyeing their clan's wealth.

Not many people would dare to target their clan's treasury, but the Third Hokage and a few others certainly did.

"It's alright. If we really have to pay, there's even more that we can operate within. If the returns are good enough, it's not impossible."

And don't forget about the Senju. Although they have kept a low profile in recent years, their foundation is not much worse than ours. If it's just a matter of money, Tsunade would definitely be willing to pay.

Besides, whether or not we have to pay is our business. Even if the third generation wants it, it depends on whether we're willing to pay.

The elder shook his head.

If they really don't pay up, does the Third Hokage think he can just send someone to wipe out the Uchiha clan and steal their clan treasury?

"Whether or not to proceed with this matter depends on the opinions of the clan members, especially the Jonin within the clan."

Following the elder's words, many people present turned their attention back to Uchiha Gen.

If it doesn't require any sacrifice, just casting a vote at the Jonin Tournament wouldn't be a problem, and it would also be a good opportunity to build a relationship with Uchiha Gen.

A high-ranking medical ninja who is proficient in medical ninjutsu might be able to save their lives at any time.

These high-ranking Jonin within the clan went to see the clan leader yesterday.

They knew how badly Uchiha Hisasu had been injured.

Judging by past standards, this kind of injury would almost certainly be fatal.

It was already unexpected that a life could be saved, and to hear that there was even a chance to save him is even more amazing.

If I were to suffer a near-death experience someday, and had some connections with the Uchiha clan, I might be able to ask for help from the source of the Uchiha clan and perhaps, like the clan leader, be saved from the brink of death.

Needless to say, Uchiha Gen is destined to be a pivotal figure in the clan in the future, and his rise is extremely rapid. Before he has had a chance to have any conflicts of interest with the other members of the clan, they naturally do not mind giving him face.

"The existence of medical ninjas is indeed necessary. I've cast my vote for the Jonin Tournament."

"That's good. It would be a good thing if we could train some medical ninjas for the clan."

"With the Senju and Uchiha teams cooperating again, how could this possibly fail?"

The statement from the clan's Jonin surprised Uchiha Gen somewhat.

They all agreed.

"Everyone, I, Uchiha Genji, will accept this favor and repay it in the future."

Gen Uchiha turned around and addressed the group of clansmen.

Tsunade treated him well; she was the person who helped him the most besides Orochimaru and the Grand Elder. Even if she hadn't helped him heal his injuries last time, he would still have been willing to do his best to help Tsunade.

The creation of the medical ninja system was arguably the most important thing in Tsunade's early life.

"You're too kind. We're all family. This is nothing."

"It's alright. If we get injured in the future, we'll need medical ninjas sometime. Maybe we'll be able to save our lives on the battlefield someday."

"Not bad, who knows, there might be a time when I'll need your help to heal my wounds."

Below the main seat, the Grand Elder, who was temporarily presiding over the clan meeting as the clan leader, looked at the scene before him with a thoughtful expression.

The effect of playing the medical ninjutsu card was even better than he had imagined.

No one wants to die, not even the Uchiha clan, which is known for its many lunatics.

The scene before him was exactly what he wanted to see.

How could he promote Uchiha Gen to a high position within the clan if he didn't cultivate good relationships with these influential clan members?
