Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

That was an idea that made his heart pound.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Namikaze Mirai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"The so-called Umbrella Corporation is a special company belonging to Konoha, which integrates the power of Konoha and gathers the advantages of various ninja clans."

"The Umbrella Corporation's industries involve many aspects such as military, medical technology, etc. No single ninja clan can handle it alone, so we need to combine your strength."

Listening to Mirai Namikaze's rambling narration, the surrounding executives, though still puzzled, roughly understood the meaning of the Umbrella Corporation.

The strength of various ninja clans was drawn upon and concentrated for development.

Is Namikaze Mirai planning to consolidate the power of Konoha?

"Lord Hokage, I have a question. Is the Umbrella Corporation a commercial entity or a military entity?"

Nara Shikaku voiced his question.

If it's a company, why is it developing military capabilities? Doesn't that deviate from the company's intended purpose?

Nara Shikaku wanted to figure out what Namikaze Mirai was really thinking.

"Both."

Namikaze Mirai's response was quite straightforward.

"Military and commercial sectors are both the focus of Umbrella Corporation's development; more accurately, it should be described as a technology company."

He paused, then spoke in a slightly meaningful tone.

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces."

Namikaze Mirai's words made the ninjas present thoughtful.

Even though I don't understand it, it still sounds very sophisticated.

Amidst the shock of the surrounding ninjas, Namikaze Mirai continued, "In the ninja world, due to the constant devastation caused by war, industries related to medicine have always been extremely profitable. Therefore, the medical industry will be a key profit-generating area for Umbrella Corporation."

“However, if we directly engage in medical profit-making in the name of Konoha, we will inevitably be targeted by other forces. Therefore, we need a shadow, a company that is directly controlled by Konoha but has no direct contact with it.”

Anonymity is a necessary condition for umbrella companies.

Just like Danzo's Root, many things that are inconvenient to do openly can be entrusted to the Root.

In the future, Namikaze will also entrust many matters that Konoha cannot easily handle to Umbrella Corporation.

In the eyes of other forces, Umbrella Corporation is a newly emerging industrial company that has suddenly risen to prominence.

There may be some kind of force supporting it.

But no one could guess the direct connection to Konoha.

After hearing these words, the senior executives at the conference table nodded slightly.

I roughly understand Namikaze's future plans.

The functions of the Umbrella Corporation are similar to those of the former Roots, but their scope is much broader, involving various secular industries.

Is it a powerful company secretly supported by Konoha, with a network-like structure covering all industries?

These high-ranking officials gasped.

I vaguely sensed the enormous potential of this plan if it were successfully implemented.

A company that monopolizes all the key lifelines is secretly controlled by Konoha.

What terrifying benefits will it bring?

A slight glint appeared in the eyes of these high-ranking officials.

Why didn't they think of this path before?

It seems that there is a strange mental barrier standing between them.

A ninja should do what a ninja is supposed to do, such as killing, gathering intelligence, and protecting their employer...

Should they open a company, or secretly open one using the combined power of Konoha?

There's something strange about it, like it's broken free from the behavioral logic of ninjas.

Namikaze Mirai took in all the changes in the expressions of these high-ranking officials.

He spoke in a deep, magnetic voice.

“Ninjas are not just about fighting and killing. Their talents should be used more broadly, rather than being limited to killing.”

The talents of ninjas should be applied more broadly...

These high-ranking officials breathed a deep sigh of relief; they finally understood where that strange and unsettling feeling came from.

From the very beginning, Bofeng's thinking was not in the same direction as theirs.

Different starting points and approaches lead to drastically different thinking outcomes.

It's really strange that everyone here is a ninja.

Why is it that things they can't think of, but Miki Namikaze can think of so easily?

"As for the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation, it will be temporarily set at the old site of the Root."

Rebuilding the Umbrella Corporation on its original site requires the least amount of effort.

Furthermore, many of Danzo's facilities and resources were preserved, making it perfect for the Umbrella Corporation to absorb them.

The headquarters' main responsibility is scientific research, and the results of the research are disseminated to the ninja world through its branches.

Strange looks appeared on the faces of the surrounding executives.

Danzo was killed by Namikaze Mirai, wasn't he?

They killed Danzo, and now they're even swallowing up the remnants of Root.

These high-ranking officials felt a sense of pity for Danzo.

How miserable!

It was truly devoured by Namikaze Mirai, leaving not even a trace.

In this atmosphere, Mirai Namikaze spoke in a deep voice, her voice echoing in the conference room.

"In the new leaves, there are no roots buried deep underground; there are only umbrellas that shelter the newly sprouted leaves."

"This is the Will of Fire of the new era, and it is also the creed of Konoha Village."

"I hope that each of you will remember this sentence."

His earnest and earnest gaze swept across the senior executives at the conference table.

Everyone in the conference room was startled, feeling a strange sense of awe.

Is this the origin of the term "protective umbrella"?

An umbrella sheltering newly sprouted leaves...

Decades ago, the First Hokage, who single-handedly established Konoha Village during the Warring States period, upheld this very same will, didn't he?

However, during the years of Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, Konoha gradually became corrupt and lost its former faith.

They gazed at Namikaze Mirai's blond profile, and in a daze, they seemed to see the will originating from the First Hokage in his eyes.

In their eyes, it seemed as if flames were rising.

That is.

The will of fire.

……

In this tense atmosphere, the matter of establishing a protective umbrella company began to unfold in full swing.

The senior executives at the conference table began to leave one after another, and the selection of supplies and personnel was carried out in accordance with the requirements of Namikaze Mirai.

Everything is unfolding discreetly and systematically.

Namikaze Mirai sat at the top of the Hokage's table, watching the high-ranking officials in the conference room gradually leave.

The empty conference room was now empty except for him.

Before his eyes appeared a figure who was not present at the meeting but was of vital importance.

Tsunade.

"We need to find a way to keep Tsunade in Konoha."

Chapter 89 Tsunade, President of the Red Cross Relief Society

"Umbrella Corporation?"

Tsunade, who had just woken up and was still not completely awake, was instantly surprised when she heard the words uttered by the silent voice.

"Yes, I heard it was a meeting organized by higher-ups, and only the village's core leaders could attend. The purpose was to secretly establish a company called 'Protective Umbrella'."

Listening to Shizune's narration, Tsunade felt a surge of curiosity.

What exactly is Namikaze Mirai up to?

First, he took Yamato as his disciple, and now he's secretly set up a protective umbrella company?
