Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 88: Founding the Umbrella Corporation

Umbrella, a strange and unusual name.

And companies, aren’t those things only started by businessmen?

Could it be that Namikaze wants to get involved in the umbrella manufacturing industry in the future? ? ?
Many senior executives in the conference room had strange and surprised expressions in their eyes.

Among these people, only Uchiha Fugaku looked at Namikaze Mirai with deep shock and expectation in his heart.

Is the future finally about to begin?
Regarding the blueprint of Umbrella Corporation, Namikaze Mirai had talked to him about it a long time ago.

It was an idea that made his heart pound.

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Namikaze Mirai pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"The so-called Umbrella Company is a special company that is built by integrating the power of Konoha and concentrating the advantages of the major ninja clans. It belongs to Konoha."

"The Umbrella Corporation's industry involves military, medical technology and many other aspects. No single ninja clan can handle it, so we need to gather your strength."

Listening to the narration of Namikaze Mirai, although the senior executives around were still confused, they roughly understood the meaning of Umbrella Corporation.

Draw on the strength of the major ninja clans and concentrate on development.

Namikaze Mirai, is this going to integrate Konoha's power?
"Hokage-sama, I have a question. Is the Umbrella Corporation a commercial company? Or a military company?"

Nara Shikaku expressed the doubts in his mind.

Since it is a company, but it wants to develop military affairs, doesn’t this deviate from the purpose of the company?
Nara Shikaku wants to figure out what Namikaze Mirai is really thinking.

"Both."

Namikaze Mirai's response was quite straightforward.

"Military and business are both the focus of Umbrella Corporation's development. To be more precise, it should be a technology company."

He paused and said in a slightly meaningful voice.

“Science and technology are the primary productive forces.”

Namikaze Mirai's words made the ninjas present think deeply.

Although I don't understand it, it doesn't stop it from sounding very advanced.

As the surrounding ninjas were shocked, Namikaze Mirai continued, "In the ninja world, because of the constant destruction caused by war, industries related to medical care have always been extremely profitable, so the medical industry will be the key profit direction for Umbrella Corporation."

"But if we directly get involved in medical profit 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 intersection with it on the surface."

Secrecy is a necessary condition for an umbrella company.

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

In the future, Namikaze will also hand over many things that Konoha is not convenient to touch to the Umbrella.

In the eyes of other forces, Umbrella Corporation is a new type of industrial company that has suddenly emerged.

There may be some force behind it.

But I couldn't guess its direct connection with Konoha.

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

I roughly understand Namikaze's vision for the future.

The functions of the Umbrella Corporation are similar to those of the former Root Corporation, but they cover a much wider range, involving various secular industries.

A powerful enterprise secretly supported by Konoha that involves all walks of life like a grid?

The senior executives took a deep breath.

I vaguely sensed the huge potential of this plan if it was successfully implemented.

An enterprise that monopolizes all key lifelines and is completely controlled by Konoha in secret.

What terrible benefits will it bring?

There was a slight glimmer in the eyes of these senior executives.

Why hadn't they thought of such a path before?
It seemed as if there was a strange mental barrier blocking their brains.

Ninjas should do what ninjas should do, such as killing people, collecting intelligence, protecting their employers, etc.

To open a company, or to open it secretly with the combined strength of Konoha.

It's so weird that I can't explain it. I always feel like it goes beyond the logical behavior of a ninja.

Namikaze Mirai took in all the changes in the expressions of the top executives and spoke in a deep and magnetic voice.

"Ninjas are not just about fighting and killing. Ninja talents should be used more widely, not just limited to killing."

The talents of ninjas should be used more widely...

These senior executives breathed a sigh of relief. They finally understood where that weird and awkward feeling came from.

From the very beginning, Namikaze's future thinking was different from theirs.

Different starting points and ideas lead to completely different thinking results.

It's really weird, everyone is a ninja.

Why can Namikaze Mirai easily think of things that they can’t think of?

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

Rebuilding the Umbrella Corporation on the old root site would require the least effort.

Moreover, many of Danzo's facilities and resources were still preserved, and it was just right for them to be taken over by the Umbrella Corporation.

The headquarters' responsibilities are mainly scientific research, and the results of scientific research are radiated to the ninja world through branches.

Strange looks appeared in the eyes of the surrounding senior executives.

Wasn’t Danzo killed by Namikaze Mirai?

Having killed Danzo, now he is taking over the remnants of the Root.

These high-ranking officials began to feel sympathy for Danzo.

How miserable!

It was true that not even a trace was left after being eaten by Namikaze Mirai.

In such an atmosphere, Namikaze Mirai spoke in a deep voice, and his voice echoed in the conference room.

"There are no deep roots in new leaves, only umbrellas that protect the new 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 can remember this sentence.”

He glanced at the senior executives at the conference table with a solemn and earnest look.

Everyone in the conference room was startled and felt an inexplicable shock.

Is this the origin of the word “protective umbrella”?
An umbrella that protects new leaves...

Decades ago, the first Hokage who established Konoha Village during the turbulent Warring States period held this kind of will, right?

However, during the years when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, Konoha gradually became corrupt and gradually lost its former faith.

They looked at the blonde profile of Namikaze Mirai, and in a trance, they seemed to see the will from the first Hokage in his eyes.

There seemed to be flames rising in their eyes.

That is.

The will of fire.

……

In such a heavy atmosphere, matters concerning the establishment of an umbrella company began to unfold in full swing.

The senior executives at the conference table began to leave one after another to screen materials and candidates according to Namikaze Mirai's requirements.

Everything is unfolding secretly and orderly.

Namikaze Mirai sat at the Hokage's table, watching the senior executives in the conference room gradually leave.

He was the only one left in the empty meeting room.

A figure who was not present at the meeting but was of vital importance appeared in front of him.

Tsunade.

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