Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Foundation
The next day, Ryu started working on the designs for a new factory that will be producing a variety of products, including salt, desalinated water, solar paint, and more.
Working overtime and writing with both hands, Ryu had numerous innovative ideas for the projects but realised they needed additional development time to be executed effectively. He documented the complete industrial flow diagram and semantics for groundbreaking manufacturing technology, unseen in this world, essential for his current and future projects.
He also created a detailed explanation illustrating the process of iron forging using iron dust induction heating. This process involves compressing iron dust in a mold under extreme pressure to shape it, followed by heating and rapid cooling to create strong components.
Given the technological shortcomings in this world, Ryu must personally manufacture every component, ranging from basic elements like nuts and bolts to complex machinery parts. He planned to involve his staff in building the projects because of the capable workforce his company had, recognising that the tasks were too extensive for him to handle alone. He never intended to do it in the first place, as it is not possible in the first place.
While he could build prototypes, establishing the entire infrastructure requires the setup of large factories and a dedicated workforce to oversee operations.
His plan involved introducing modern transportation vehicles to a world where most travel is still done on foot, aiming to revolutionise long-distance mobility. The lack of transportation infrastructure was noticeable in the manga and animation, with air travel and a rail network being established only after Naruto became Hokage.
Ryu thought, 'Using oil will be counterproductive. I have a very great opportunity to directly introduce renewable sources of energy into transportation even before vehicular transportation is revolutionised. I can just paint my transportation with solar paint I have created and later create charging infrastructure coupled with my solar tech. But before that, I need to lay the foundation of the steel industry and revitalise this industry.'
Ryu smiled and said, "Completely eco-friendly transportation infrastructure right from its foundation. No oil, no pollution. Just renewable energy. It will take a few more years to fully develop them at mass scale. I believe that by the time I graduate from the academy next year, my first electric car will be ready, maybe before that."
As the detection seal around the house reacted, Ryu stood up and went to see who it was and saw Hiruzen, who had arrived with his secretary.
"Hello, Dan, I came to see you and to give you certificates and cash and thank you for presenting such a life-saving seal to the village," Hiruzen said.
"I never expected my money to come with the highest level of security in the village," Dan replied.
Hiruzen's secretary handed Dan the certificates and the scroll containing money that came from registering the seal and also from the deal in the scroll.
Hiruzen asked, "What other projects are you working on?"
Dan replied, "I cannot share anything without positive results."
Hiruzen asked, "How's your firm doing? I heard your firm is aiming to expand."
Dan explained, "Yes, the company has developed a new technology and is planning for an assembly line. The decision to locate the next project near seashores is due to the requirement for salt in the upcoming project."
Hiruzen said, "Let me help; I will talk to my contacts in Fire Capital."
"I will also need supplies like iron and other metals," Dan said.
He continued, "I will find you land for your company and also find you suppliers."
Dan replied, "That would be helpful; thank you."
Elsewhere—in a dimly lit gambling den, two gamblers leaned over their drinks, their conversation turning to the latest buzz in the ninja world.
"Hey, have you heard? A ninja created a new seal called the Healing Seal," Gambler-1 said, his voice tinged with excitement.
Gambler-2 frowned. "Healing Seal? What does it do?"
Gambler-1 replied, "Apparently, it acts as a [Healing Jutsu] when activated that can heal without the presence of a medical ninja. It has become the hottest topic in town. The buzz surrounding it is immense, and everyone is treating it as a major breakthrough."
Gambler-2 replied, "That's a big deal. The Leaf Village is known for its exceptional fuinjutsu grandmasters. They set the standards in this field."
"Indeed," Gambler-1 agreed. "A ninja named Dan and a doctor named Yuki discovered it."
Gambler-2 said, "Yuki, I have heard the name before."
Gambler-1 replied, "It is the same doctor who created the drug called Yukimira that is specially created for civilians like us."
Gambler-2 Then remembered something and said in exclamation, "Ohh, now I remember. That drug cured my neighbour's son's infection that had been bugging him for years. It is really an amazing medicine."
The gambler-1 replied, "Yes, and it's so cheap even beggars can afford that drug."
Gambler-2, he asked, "But how do a second-rate gambler and an addict know about such stuff?"
Gambler-1 replied, "Oye, don't sprout nonsense."
"I am a first-rate gambler... and addict," the Gambler-1 proudly added while laughing.
Gambler-2 replied, "You know, you are so full of shit."
Gambler-1 laughed it out.
Gambler-1 then said, "I also heard talk of a genius kid. Apparently this Yuki, who helped develop this seal, had found a boy who is talented in medical ninjutsu. She recommended him, and he even topped the exam. He is even recommended for early promotion; that is a first in the medical community."
At a nearby stall, two familiar people heard the gamblers chatting.
Shizune asked, "Lady Tsunade, did you hear that?"
Tsunade replied, "Yes, I heard all of it. Yuki-sensei seems to be making a significant impact lately. I didn't believe the news about that medicine then, but now I have to believe it."
She looked outside the window and thought, 'If the healing seal was available then, you could have been saved, Dan.'
With a determined look, she turned to Shizune and urged, "Let's go, Shizune. We are leaving now."
Shizune asked, "Where are we going?"
"It's time we meet Yuki-sensei; we are going to Leaf Village. I want to get into the details of this new seal," replied the legendary sannin.
At the same time, in a big palace, a little girl can be seen running.
"How many times do I have to tell you to take it easy, Aoi?"
The girl said, "Brother, have you heard of this news? Some doctor and a fuinjutsu grandmaster had discovered a new seal that can heal a person. We can consult them."
"Aoi, my cute little sister, even the court's physician could not solve our problem. What makes you think that they had a solution to our problem? We should keep looking for the legendary sannin, the slug princess, Tsunade Senju. She is the only one who can help us." said Ikkyu Madoka, the elder brother of the girl.
Aoi replied, "The maid who informed me about Yuki Sarutobi mentioned that she is Lady Tsunade Senju's teacher."
Ikkyu Madoka said in surprise, "What? I didn't know that. How come your maid knows?
Aoi replied, "Her brother works in her hospital, and he heard from others about it."
Aoi Madoka is the half-sister of Ikkyu Madoka, daughter of the second wife of the current daimyo. She saved her brother's life by taking a hit from a poison dart after her mother plotted to kill Ikkyu. She saved her half-brother's life. The poison nearly killed her, but she was saved with some complications. The complication for which they are actively searching for Tsunade without any results.
Most of her skin had turned dark blue due to the effects of the poison, due to which she needs to cover her face all the time.
The brother begged his father not to have her stepmother killed for the sake of his half-sister for the sake of diplomacy. The marriage was a strategic political alliance following the death of his first wife. His father agreed to his demand and put his wife under house arrest for the rest of her life.
After a moment of contemplation, Ikkyu acknowledged Aoi's suggestion. "You may be onto something; seeking her advice is worth a try. Our previous attempts to find Lady Tsunade have been in vain, as she always ran away from our search parties. I was thinking of sending stronger ninjas to find her but was stopped by the minister."
Aoi became happy and said, "Let's go visit Leaf Village then. Maybe Dr. Yuki knows how to reach out to her student."
"Ok, pack your bags. We are leaving for the Leaf Village," Ikkyu replied.
In the Leaf Village, high above the Hokage Monument, an albino hummingbird sat in the crevices of the Hokage Monument. It stood beside another bird. As the other hummingbird sitting in the nest flew away, three eggs could be seen inside the nest. The albino hummingbird took the place in the nest and sat on the eggs. He then started burning in green flames of chakra, and a few patches of shiny ruby red started to appear on its all-white feathers.
