Chapter 28: Foundations of Power

Doctor Yuto was the first to break the silence, his mind buzzing with new possibilities. "I've been thinking about how to find substitutes for medicinal plants and materials of the cultivation world . Given how different their world operates from ours, I assumed it would be difficult to find the material with similar properties to the medicine we have the knowledge about cultivation world in our world of Naruto, but now with the Material Weaver… we can actually create seeds and produce the exact medicinal plants we need to establish a medicinal forest." He paused, letting the enormity of this sink in. "With this forest, we won't need to rely on others. The production of medicine, healing potions, and other medical supplies will be entirely self-sustained."

Everyone shared glances, realizing just how monumental this was. They had been concerned about the scarcity of certain resources, but now, this problem was solved. Medical equipment from their previous world would no longer require substitutions or compromises—they could replicate everything with the Weaver's help. Architect Yuto leaned back, visibly relieved. "This will save us so much time and effort. We won't have to keep scavenging or trading with other countries and hidden villages for rare resources. Our production will be steady and reliable."

The group exchanged nods, a silent agreement that this was the breakthrough they had been waiting for. Chef Yuto chimed in, seizing the opportunity to add his perspective. "With the Weaver, we can also cultivate seeds for various foods—fruits, vegetables, spices, beverages… even rare foods from our past world." He smiled, envisioning a new culinary culture. "Imagine the impact we'll have when we introduce these high-yield foods to the nations. We could control food supplies, shaping the politics and alliances of entire regions without lifting a weapon."

CEO Yuto considered this, a spark of excitement growing in his eyes. "Imagine supplying the Wind Country with food at a cost far lower than what they get from the Fire Country. The strain on their relationship will grow, and we can subtly take control of their food economy. Eventually, that influence will open doors to more direct control." The room grew still as they absorbed the power of such a subtle, almost invisible strategy—control through sustenance, without a drop of blood shed.

Military Yuto added with a strategic gleam in his eye, "And during wars, we can provide both sides with war materials, using different sellers for each region. Each company will operate independently, making it impossible for any one village to control us by force. If any village attempts to rob a supplier, they'll soon realize that no other company will do business with them again."

CEO Yuto nodded, a smirk forming on his lips. "Exactly. And when Hashirama Senju's time ends—which I estimate will be soon—our time to become the strongest will begin. I've already heard rumors that Senju Tobirama, the new Hokage, is struggling to fill his brother's shoes. With Hashirama secluded due to his deteriorating health, the Hidden Leaf is weaker than ever."

The others listened intently, realizing that the fall of the Senju would leave a power vacuum. "After Hashirama's death, Madara Uchiha will use Izanagi to return to life, secretly replacing himself with a clone while he hides in the shadows until the Third Ninja War. He'll then choose Obito Uchiha as his successor," Military Yuto explained, his voice low with gravitas. "If we position ourselves well, we can guide history's course without lifting a sword."

The room seemed to hum with energy as the Yutos considered the grand scope of their plans. Chef Yuto spoke up again, eager to return to his vision of culinary influence. "With foods that yield better harvests, we could offer the lesser nations access to our supplies at fair prices, while nations with stronger economies pay higher rates. Over time, we'll have subtle yet undeniable control over each country's sustenance."

Jenny, who had been listening closely, couldn't help but speak up. "It's amazing, this system you've devised for managing resources, economies, and even hidden assets across multiple villages. But with so much going on… how do you keep track of it all?" Her admiration was apparent.

CEO Yuto grinned, enjoying her astonishment. "The AI system Engineer Yuto developed acts as a central brain. It records all activities in our malls and guilds. I wear this advanced watch, which receives important updates, streamlining the workload." He raised his wrist to display the sleek device, which looked as unassuming as any ordinary accessory. "It's all about organizing the key information and reviewing it regularly. That's how we keep everything running smoothly."

Jenny's eyes sparkled as she leaned forward. "Can I have one of these watches too? I'd love to help oversee things!" she asked, a determined glint in her eyes.

CEO Yuto chuckled, patting her shoulder. "There's a surprise planned for you, Gaia, and Tenko. Don't worry, your roles will only grow more important in the near future." Jenny, though curious, held her excitement in check, trusting in the promise.

Gene Yuto turned back to their discussions. "Now that we have control over food and materials, we can also start developing stronger alliances within our guild, particularly with those who have proven their loyalty over the years." The group discussed their plans for distributing cultivation techniques within their trusted circle, knowing it would strengthen their influence.

As they finished laying out their strategies, Military Yuto declared, "We should establish a schedule for preparing, training, and expanding. Once we've mastered the resources we have, we'll shape the entire world as we see fit."

Doctor Yuto, now fully resolved, added, "We'll need a private place in dimension Where , we can set up the medical forest and test the efficacy of the medicinal plants we produce." He looked at Architect Yuto, who had already begun mentally sketching the design of the facility.

Architect Yuto nodded, eager to start. "Consider it done. I'll locate an area deep within our dimension where there's multiple soil properties for different medicinal plantation, Once completed, we'll have a fully operational base for cultivation and healing."

Finally, CEO Yuto raised a hand to conclude. "We're looking at a massive transformation here, one that will take time and coordination. But with every step we take, we're building a legacy. Not just for ourselves, but for the future generations under our rule."

With a sense of purpose renewed, CEO Yuto absorbed all the Yutos back into his body. As he did, he turned to Jenny, Gaia, and Tenko. "Let's move forward. Tenko, we have work to attend to."

As they left, each carried the weight of their plans, their aspirations aligning with a vision of unshakable dominance, rooted not just in brute strength but in the power of subtle, strategic control.
