Uchiha's personal opinion

"As ordered!"

The researchers from the vortex all agreed.

Since the Jinchuriki could neither be killed nor released, Uchiha Tokumitsu decided to try to extract a portion of the Tailed Beast's power and artificially create a smaller Tailed Beast.

Even if it's impossible to separate two Nine-Tails based on Yin Release and Yang Release chakra like Minato Namikaze did in later generations, creating a few mini versions of the Three-Tails Isobu would be a good idea.

Moreover, given that the tailed beasts theoretically possess an inexhaustible chakra, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not intend to use such a crude sealing method to seal them within a human body as an unstable jinchūriki.

How great would it be to use the Tailed Beasts as energy output centers! As long as the output power is controlled and the chakra consumption rate does not exceed the recovery rate, theoretically the Tailed Beasts would be perpetual motion machines!

Even if it were to be used as a weapon, Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to create a giant Tailed Beast Cannon, using small Tailed Beasts as an energy platform, and transforming them into a high-intensity chakra cannon by extracting chakra and converting it through sealing techniques.

In this way, although the output intensity is limited, it results in a highly stable and continuous output of vitality, which is much more useful than a Jinchūriki that relies on personal will and perseverance.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu enthusiastically described to the Uzumaki researchers the blueprint for miniaturizing and tactically applying the Tailed Beasts, even the most inhuman Uzumaki researchers, who had overseen the creation of the giant centrifuge and advocated throwing live bodies into it to crush and strip away cells, were stunned.

That's a tailed beast...

It was seen as a ferocious beast that brought about natural disasters...

This is also due to the difference in perspective.

In Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes, the tailed beasts were actually similar to nuclear weapons—powerful but also dangerous weapons prone to malfunctions.

However, if the tailed beasts are used for energy, it would be similar to a nuclear power plant, and it would be a clean, hygienic, and pollution-free sustainable energy source.

The separation of the tailed beasts is similar to the tactical application of nuclear weapons. To put it bluntly, it is about sacrificing maximum destructive power in exchange for controllability, so as to achieve small and flexible practical applications.

"That's right!"

As he got more and more excited, Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of another artificial special existence.

Do you know Zero Tail?

Chapter 209 The Master's Strategy to Subdue the Hidden Clouds

Uchiha Tokumitsu delivered an important speech at the Uzumaki Research Institute, indulging in his amateur scientific pronouncements. After arranging the two core research projects of miniaturizing tailed beasts and creating artificial tailed beasts, he was preparing to return to Konoha when a delegation from Kirigakure caught up with him.

"What is it for?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was eager to return home and had no desire to engage in empty formalities with the Hidden Mist Envoy.

"Buy warships and arms!"

The messenger was still the familiar Pipa Juzo.

He was also a very straightforward ninja who disliked beating around the bush.

"That's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately perked up and waved to his attendant ninjas to postpone their journey.

What kind of warship do you want?

"Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with great interest."

For a long time, the Uchiha clan's arms business has mainly consisted of explosive tags. Their market share of common ninja tools such as kunai and shuriken has been constantly eroded by low-priced ninja tools from countries like the Land of Craftsmen. Now that Kirigakure, this sucker, is coming to buy directly, they would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't rip them off!

"Ironclad warship!"

Pipa Juzo said, "And we need the big tube on top!"

"You want this...?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu leaned back, his expression turning somewhat strange: "That's the Shogunate's secret weapon, their mainstay..."

"Not for sale to other customers?"

"I asked with a frown."

"No, no!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head repeatedly, "What I mean is..."

"You need to pay more!"

"Money is fine, just don't go too far!"

The loquat is very crisp.

Uchiha Tokumitsu liked this kind of decisive and efficient person the most.

"But we can't give you the three ironclad ships that are currently in service."

Upon hearing Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, Biwa Juzo was somewhat disappointed.

"But there are still three warships in the dock that have been launched and are undergoing sea trials. They should be officially completed in about a month..."

The situation took an unexpected turn, and Uchiha Tokumitsu continued.

"The Mist Village wants these three ships!"

Pipa Juzo, fearing that Uchiha Tokumitsu might pull another surprise, quickly said...

“That’s no problem… The Shogunate and Kirigakure have always been on friendly terms, so it’s only right that they help each other.”

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile.

"Approximately how much will it cost?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's quick agreement and his constant stream of friendly platitudes immediately put Biwa Juzo on his guard.

"Pricing is something our subordinates negotiate. As high-ranking officials, we shouldn't get involved in these mundane matters; it would be beneath our dignity!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said in a gentle tone.

He is always very patient with those who are easy targets for money.

"However... no matter what the final transaction price is, you'll definitely get a share!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his voice and patiently guided him.

Pipa Juzo frowned.

Using this to test the Hidden Mist ninja?!

Five percent~

Which of the hidden fog spirits could withstand such a test!

Uchiha Tokumitsu wasn't greedy; he simply planned to double the price for the research and development costs, the dock construction costs, and the shipbuilding costs combined.

This allowed the shogunate's shipyards to expand and build a new generation of ironclad warships.

"Drink tea, drink tea..."

Pipa Juzo awkwardly raised his cup to drink tea in an attempt to hide his excitement.

He had intended to stand up and loudly rebuke and refuse, which would have shown the indomitable spirit of Wuyin.

Just thinking about the budget approved by the three previous Mizukage...

It's just that Uchiha Tokumitsu gave way too much!

Pipa Juzo seemed to hear the sound of his own integrity shattering...

"The large cannons on the ship are also needed!"

Pipa Shizang coughed, trying to make his attitude natural and as businesslike as possible.

"Big gun...you mean torpedo launcher, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu grinned so hard his wrinkles seemed to dance. "No problem, these are all standard equipment!"

Pipa Juzo nodded steadily.

His rosy complexion betrayed his excitement.

"But how about we buy some more detonating tags?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's expression was very amiable. "An ironclad warship is equipped with twenty-two torpedo launchers, each torpedo loaded with 1,200 specially made waterproof explosive tags. A salvo from three ironclad warships would consume 79200 explosive tags..."

"Cough cough!"

Pipa Juzo raised his cup to drink tea to hide his shock.

"In that case... let's buy some more detonating tags..."

"That's easy to arrange, and the explosive tags can also be included in the purchase cost of the ironclad warship, at five percent as well..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu very considerately dispelled Biwa Juzo's concerns.

"Five hundred thousand explosive tags!"

Pipa Juzo typed it out very quickly, and added at the end: "What I need are the Uchiha clan's special waterproof explosive tags! I can't accept any other inferior products!"

"You can rest assured about the Uchiha clan's reputation in the arms trade..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu loved it when people knelt down while he was throwing punches.

"We also need some standard ninja tools like kunai and shuriken, so let's buy them together then..."

Pipa Juzo's eyes sparkled.

Having spent the big money, the small amount for ordinary ninja tools was naturally no problem.

Besides, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, so why not eat it for free?

"no problem!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu readily agreed.

They then had some more exquisite food brought in, and the two continued to eat and chat.

……

Has the Hidden Cloud Village made any special moves lately?

Uchiha Tokumitsu elegantly cut open the top-grade steak from the Land of Grass, gracefully forking the piece of meat and putting it into his mouth.

Although Juzo Biwa remained calm, he kept an eye on Tokumitsu Uchiha's every move out of the corner of his eye.

"So elegant..."

"I think to myself," said Pipa Juzo.
