I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 307 You want his interest, he wants your principal.

Tell me more.

Orochimaru became interested. The biggest obstacle hindering his scientific research was money, which he hadn't valued much in the past.

He clearly remembered that his previous research hadn't been particularly expensive. With his savings and ongoing commission income, he had easily completed his research.

But why is it that after working with Tatsuma, the money he spends on research flows like water—no, not water, but a flood, just like the flood Tatsuma unleashed in the Land of Wind?

However, upon hearing that Tatsuma had a way to make money, he forgot about these distracting thoughts and looked forward to Tatsuma's plan.

After organizing his thoughts, Chenma said, "I believe that the improved technique for extracting lesions is very suitable for treating tumors, especially malignant tumors."

Treatment of these types of conditions often involves significant risks of intraoperative complications and postoperative infections, but I can treat these conditions through non-invasive surgery.

My idea is that we take this technology and work with the training system established by my teacher, the village, and even the four parties in Daming Prefecture to jointly establish an intellectual property rights authorization point.

We license this technology to medical ninjas trained within our system, charging per person or through partnerships.

The per-person fee means that each medical ninja who learns the skill pays us a sum of money for a single, one-time exclusive license. This allows us to recoup a large amount of funds in a short period of time.

Furthermore, the teacher now trains ninjas into medical ninjas through a one-year study and one-year internship system, which means we can collect a licensing fee every year.

The paid collaboration model involves us providing this technology free of charge to medical ninjas for them to learn, and then giving us a percentage of the treatment fees they earn using this technique.

This method involves a slow initial return on investment, but it provides a steady stream of income. Furthermore, it allows for connections with hospitals in other towns and cities to perform "flying knife" surgeries, thereby treating more clients and earning more money.

This is one way to monetize.

Tatsuma paused for a moment and said, "You should know about the second way of manifesting it, Lord Orochimaru. Although aging cells are still alive, they no longer divide and cannot help replenish tissues."

Furthermore, they actively secrete chemicals that promote inflammation and damage neighboring cells, causing surrounding healthy cells to also become damaged and age prematurely.

My idea is to profit by clearing away aging cells in the human body to make people "regain their youth," though not in a truly authentic way.

After all, the number of cells in the human body is limited, and removing too many senescent cells at once can also cause harm to the body. Therefore, I suggest removing senescent cells from the epidermis of the face and neck to make people look younger.

I'll call this project a medical aesthetics project for now. We don't even need real medical ninjas; we just need to hire some ninjas who have a little talent in chakra manipulation.

Then, specialized training is conducted. Through mechanical learning of the technique of lesion extraction and my improved technique of lesion extraction, one can carry out medical aesthetic projects such as toxin removal and skin rejuvenation.

Lord Orochimaru, what do you think?

Orochimaru frowned and thought for a while. After a while, he said, "The two ways of monetization can be carried out at the same time. However, regarding the first method, my suggestion is to buy it out in one go."

The secrecy period of ninjutsu is very limited. Over time, with various irregular transmissions from old to new, ninjutsu will quickly lose its secrecy, so our profit-making period is also very short.

The next three to five years, which is the three to five training cycles with Tsunade, will be the time when we make the most of our profits and it will also be the time when we can recoup a large amount of capital.

Regarding your mention of knife-throwing cooperation, there are too many possibilities for manipulation. We can't trace every single surgical procedure; we can only rely entirely on the conscience of the hospital and the medical ninja.

Tatsuma nodded. He actually preferred to buy out the license, and if it weren't for the need to develop other profitable business models, he would even have considered selling the entire ownership of the technique.

Seeing that Tatsuma had no objections, Orochimaru continued, "As for the medical aesthetics projects you mentioned, I think they have great potential. The technology in this market is not complicated; the most important thing is the service."

Even if everyone uses the same technology, differences in services will lead to differences in customer traffic. Therefore, if we want to do it, we need to conduct a lot of market research first.

Therefore, even though we don't have the initial funding yet, we can start the research. The medical aesthetics you mentioned is popular everywhere, and it's very suitable to open a branch all over the world.

This is the true, sustainable source of funding.

"But we can't train that many cosmetic ninjas, can we? Like the teacher's side, the ninjas who participate in the training have to take two years off work, and there are expenses during that time."

Tatsuma voiced his concerns, but Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Tatsuma-kun, you are still too young. There are some things that you cannot understand at your age."

A ninja's peak age is generally between 20 and 25. After 25, they enter a plateau period that lasts until around 35 to 40, after which there is a precipitous decline.

Many ninjas in their thirties are no longer able to continue their ninja careers, and at this point, their savings are not enough to support them for the rest of their lives.

We provided them with an opportunity; they paid for their own training, and even the bulk of the cost of opening their own shops.

All we need to do is provide training and authorization, and offer business guidance. We'll exchange a portion of our savings for a stable income for the rest of their lives—isn't that a great deal?

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma's mouth dropped open. He hadn't expected Orochimaru to possess such talent. He sighed inwardly, but continued the conversation aloud:

"Furthermore, we can launch new technologies from time to time to extract profits from their stores. After all, once their technology becomes outdated, their customer base will flow to stores with new technologies."

We can also establish a company, create a brand, and grant the brand to them. Once the market is established, we can build a factory to produce the necessary supplies, and our authorized stores can only purchase products produced by our company.

Otherwise, revoke the authorization and demand they pay a penalty for breach of contract!

After he finished speaking excitedly, he noticed that Orochimaru's gaze had changed. Orochimaru stared at him for a long while before saying quietly, "I only want the money in their pockets, but you..."

"You want to empty their wallets and then leech off them, huh? Tatsuma-kun, you're ruthless!"

Tatsuma chuckled awkwardly and said, "It's just an immature idea, nothing more."

Orochimaru's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself, because although Tatsuma's idea was immoral, it did seem to be very profitable.

Trying hard to forget Tatsuma's horrifying idea, Orochimaru said, "If your technique has been simplified and improved, then we can start preparing the proposal."

If you want to pass on your techniques to others, you need to make them more accessible. After all, like Orochimaru, Tatsuma's thought process is different from that of ordinary people. What they can easily understand is like a foreign language to others.

Putting everything else aside, just take that Yin Healing and Destruction technique that Tatsuma developed. Even Tsunade, his teacher, said she couldn't learn it after watching the scroll.

The scroll contains a jumble of interdisciplinary terms. Unless one is proficient in medical ninjutsu, sealing techniques, cursed seal techniques, Bagua Gentle Fist, and medical knowledge, it is impossible to learn this technique through Tatsuma's ninjutsu scroll.

Although Tatsuma handed this technique over to the village, it is foreseeable that without Tatsuma's personal instruction, almost no one would be able to learn it.

The reason I say "almost" is because Orochimaru could understand it too, and if he wanted to teach it, he could explain it clearly to others with a little more effort.

Orochimaru was afraid that Tatsuma's improvement on the technique of extracting minor injuries would also be in the style of Yin Healing and Destruction. In that case, let alone exchanging it for money, even if it were given away for free, no one would be able to learn it.

Hearing Orochimaru say this, Tatsuma pursed his lips. Clearly, there hadn't been any simplified explanation. He hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I have a general idea. I'll organize it when I get home tonight and show it to Minato tomorrow to see if he can understand it."

"Minato Namikaze? Aren't you overestimating others a bit? I suggest you improve to the point where Nawaki and Kushina can understand. Don't underestimate other people's stupidity; the bottom line of stupidity is that there is no bottom line."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's suggestion, Tatsuma's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably as he said, "Lord Orochimaru, aren't you... making things difficult for me?"

Leaving Kushina aside, the difference between Minato's and Nawaki's comprehension abilities is like night and day. Asking them to understand the already intricate and complex medical ninjutsu is truly asking too much of them.

Orochimaru glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, this technique of yours is meant to be taught to a group of retired ninjas in the future. Do you really expect their rusty, rigid minds to be like Minato's?"

I'll try my best.

Tatsuma was persuaded by Orochimaru, who nodded and said, "That's all for today. Go back and study how to make the technique more accessible. I'll draft a proposal first."

Also, if you experience any unusual symptoms while using the inhaler, please contact me immediately.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Lord Orochimaru."

"No, I have neither tasks nor money right now, so I can't do anything."

Orochimaru waved his hand, and seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be in working mode, Tatsuma didn't disturb him any longer and used Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

In the following week, in addition to accompanying Tianfeng in training, Chenma had another task, but progress was very slow, taking seven days to produce only six words.

When his three-week vacation ended, Tatsuma was summoned to the Hokage's office again. Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing Tatsuma arrive, asked, "How was your rest during this time?"

"Very good, ready to go on a mission anytime."

Tatsuma responded enthusiastically; he really didn't want to stay in the study doing the popularization of techniques anymore. Seeing Tatsuma's enthusiasm, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said:

"However, the new replacement hasn't been decided yet. After evaluation, the earwigs' mental state isn't suitable for the mission. Fortunately, there's been new progress in the Land of Water's affairs, making it suitable for you and Minato to go together. What do you think?"

"New developments?"
