Become Kizaru in Naruto World - Chapter 122
Walking out of the residence of the Shimura clan, Kizaru, at the invitation of Hiruzen, walked together with his teacher on the bustling streets of the village.
With a pipe in hand, Hiruzen amiably responded to the greetings of the villagers on the street.
“Kizaru, do you know what satisfies me the most as the Hokage?”
Emerging from the crowd, Hiruzen picked up his pipe, took a puff, then smiled and asked.
“Monitoring the women’s bathhouse with a crystal ball.” Kizaru jokingly replied.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Just as he was about to exhale the smoke, Hiruzen was struck by Kizaru’s response and choked on it.
“I’m not Jiraiya!” With a displeased glare at Kizaru, Hiruzen quickly regained his smile and continued, “As the Hokage, what satisfies me the most is walking on the streets of the village, seeing the happy smiles of the villagers.”
“You’re doing well, Sensei.” With a smile, Kizaru cooperatively replied.
“Hahaha!” Hearing his disciple’s praise, Hiruzen laughed heartily.
“I’m just doing my best to fulfill the responsibilities of being the Hokage.” After laughing, Hiruzen modestly said.
Nodding in agreement, Kizaru didn’t continue speaking.
“Kizaru, I have a favor to ask of you.” With the small talk over, Hiruzen got to the point.
Slowing his pace slightly, Kizaru looked down at his teacher beside him, waiting for what he had to say.
“I have a second child now, and I hope you’ll be his teacher.”
While discussing matters at the Shimura family, Hiruzen was inspired when he heard Kizaru promise to take on the child of Fugaku as his disciple in the future.
By the time his second child grows up to the age of graduating from the ninja academy, Kizaru will be around twenty years old, the perfect time to take on an apprentice.
Kizaru was his chosen successor, and Hiruzen also hoped to deepen his relationship with the Sarutobi clan.
Hearing his teacher’s request, Kizaru couldn’t help but feel emotional. Another familiar role was about to be born in this world.
Sarutobi Asuma, the short-lived winner of life in the ninja world, the unit of measurement for ninja world wealth.
“My requirements are quite strict, Sensei!” Looking at his teacher, Kizaru agreed.
“Hahaha! Strict is good!” Knowing that Kizaru had agreed, Hiruzen’s smile grew even wider.
Taking Kizaru as his apprentice, making him his successor, and Kizaru taking his unborn child as his disciple… Perhaps this is the inheritance of the Will of Fire!
“Kizaru, regarding the commercialization of Hashirama Cell medical treatment, I want you to put more effort into it and take charge.”
Satisfied, Hiruzen also gave his feedback.
After Kizaru’s explanation, Hiruzen also understood the enormous commercial value behind Hashirama Cells.
By entrusting the commercialization of Hashirama Cells to Kizaru, Hiruzen was also handing over the authority to divide the profits to him.
This was both a lucrative position and a test for Kizaru.
In any faction, only the leader and his successor have the qualifications to divide the profits.
Previously, Hiruzen himself was responsible for this task.
However, this time, Hiruzen chose to delegate this authority to Kizaru.
If Kizaru can correctly balance the various factions within the village and distribute the benefits appropriately, he will earn the goodwill and support of everyone.
Hiruzen believed that his outstanding disciple could do it, and do it well!
“It’s really troublesome!” Hearing Sensei’s arrangement, Kizaru understood his good intentions, but faced with such a laborious task, he couldn’t help but complain out of habit.
“Many hands make light work, Kizaru!” Understanding Kizaru’s speech habits, Hiruzen encouraged him with a smile.
After parting ways with Hiruzen at the research base, Kizaru came here.
The commercialization of Hashirama Cells had great value, but its core lay in the perfection and success of Hashirama Cell transplantation technology.
And Orochimaru, who was responsible for this research, was the key to whether Kizaru’s grand plans could be realized.
In order to better stimulate Orochimaru’s subjective initiative, Kizaru came here after parting ways with Sensei, preparing to paint a bigger and more fragrant pie for Orochimaru.
Entering the research base and seeing Orochimaru, Kizaru first recounted his experiences in the Uchiha clan, as well as his conversations with Hiruzen and Danzo, to Orochimaru.
Listening to Kizaru’s account, the clever Orochimaru immediately realized the commercial value of Hashirama Cells.
The money-making ability of Kizaru’s senior is truly impressive!
Looking at Kizaru in front of him, Orochimaru felt that what he saw was not a disciple, but an endless source of research funds.
“Orochimaru-senpai, I need you to provide a ‘Feasibility Report on the Development of Hashirama Cell Transplantation Technology.’ It mainly describes three points: development difficulties, development prospects, and development budget.”
“I’ll get it done as soon as possible.” When it came to research funds, Orochimaru was very attentive and directly agreed.
“Orochimaru-senpai, do you know how this report should be written?”
“I’ll explain the research problems and the utilization of successful techniques.” Although it’s my first time writing something like this, I’m quite confident,” Orochimaru said.
Orochimaru-senpai is still too young!
Shaking his head, Kizaru showed a lecherous smile.
“Isn’t that so?” Seeing Kizaru shaking his head, Orochimaru asked in confusion.
“This report has three key points that you need to remember, Orochimaru-senpai!” Looking at the inexperienced Orochimaru, Kizaru decided to give him a lesson.
“What are they?”
“One, detail the development difficulties and problems that can be solved; those without a solution, write them vaguely. Two, the development prospects are crucial, so write them in detail, making them sound promising. Three, when it comes to the development budget, aim to inflate it as much as possible. As long as you have good reasons, you can multiply it several times!”
Nodding thoughtfully, Orochimaru felt like he had grasped something.
“How do I inflate the budget?” Thirsty for knowledge, Orochimaru looked at Kizaru and asked.
“For the test materials with transparent prices, write them normally. For those with less transparency, try to overestimate. Also, you can include the materials you need for other experiments to save on your personal research costs. Additionally, add a cost for loss, as there will always be failures in experiments, and repeating experiments also incurs costs!”
As Kizaru spoke, Orochimaru seemed to see a door to a new world gradually opening before him.
“So, doing experiments can earn money like this!”
“Furthermore, after the report is approved and the funds come in, you can propose a bidding mode for the procurement of test materials and equipment. I can help you with that when the time comes.” Before Orochimaru could finish marveling, Kizaru opened another door behind the door to the new world.
“A bidding mode?” Excitedly looking at Kizaru, Orochimaru eagerly absorbed the new knowledge like a sponge.
“I think inviting several chambers of commerce to bid for the purchase of a certain type of test material can help reduce costs. Whoever offers the most favorable price, best service, and most sincerity will get the procurement order,” Kizaru explained roughly.
Nodding, Orochimaru praised, “This mode sounds good.”
“Orochimaru-senpai, as long as the commercialization of Hashirama Cells can be established, your research funds in the future will be very abundant. If the research can succeed, you won’t have to worry about a lack of research funds in the future.” With very tempting words, Kizaru smiled and described the bright future.
With a smile on his face and excitement in his eyes, Orochimaru nodded again.
“I understand. When the materials provided by Uchiha arrive, I will devote all my energy to the research of Hashirama Cell transplantation technology.”
Subjective initiative: 120% activated!
Hearing Orochimaru’s promise and seeing his expression, Kizaru also showed a satisfied smile.
