NIP Chapter 358 Antlers: I Have an Ominous Premonition
Chapter 358 Antlers: I Have an Ominous Premonition
Tobirama Senju's tone carried a predictable calmness, like a teacher waiting for a student to hand in an exam paper that was destined to have many wrong answers.
He was well aware of just how complex his concept was; it went beyond the realm of conventional ninjutsu and entered the fields of engineering and systems science.
For an ordinary ninja, it would be difficult to understand even overnight, let alone come up with any decent plan.
However, Sakumo Hatake remained silent.
He silently unrolled the reel behind him, walked to the empty floor in the center of the room, and held both ends of the reel with both hands.
"Splash—"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of paper rubbing together, a huge scroll several meters long was slowly unrolled.
It stretches from one end of the room to the other, densely covered with fine lines, precise symbols, and dense text marked in different colors.
Tobirama Senju's gaze fell on the scroll.
At first, he just glanced at it casually, intending to find any mistakes or omissions.
But soon, his expression changed.
That's not an engineering drawing.
At least, not entirely.
Although the document contained information on the pipe layout, valve locations, and pump specifications, it also contained many things he had never considered before.
[Operational Outline: Konoha Three-Dimensional Agricultural Army Cooperative Operation Plan]
Commander-in-Chief: Sakumo Hatake
[Central General Staff: Nara Clan. Responsibilities: Calculate the optimal supply plan based on real-time battlefield intelligence such as soil moisture and nutrient content provided by the Hyuga reconnaissance unit, and conduct macro-control of the entire integrated water and fertilizer network.]
[Battlefield Communications Department: Mountain Clan. Responsibilities: Utilizing mind transfer techniques, establish a mental network covering the entire farm, responsible for relaying instructions between the General Staff and various combat units, ensuring the timeliness of orders.]
……
One after another, the elite families of Konoha were written into this plan with clear strokes of his pen.
Instead of discussing the complex technical principles, he used the mindset of a top commander to deconstruct the entire vertical farm into a multi-dimensional battlefield.
All the technical challenges were broken down into tactical tasks that different types of soldiers could execute perfectly.
Tobirama Senju stood motionless in place.
He stared at the scroll for a long time without saying a word.
Orochimaru, who was standing nearby, also came over. When he saw the contents of the scroll, his snake-like eyes instantly shrank into two thin vertical lines.
He opened his mouth wide in excitement, hissing in the air, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"This...this is...a work of art! A work of art that perfectly combines life sciences, social engineering, and the ninja combat system! It's so beautiful! It's absolutely gorgeous!"
Tobirama Senju ignored Orochimaru's loss of composure.
He slowly squatted down, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the firm and precise ink lines on the scroll with his fingertips.
You can sense a coldness and efficiency that is different from engineering drawings, belonging to ninjas, from these lines.
This is a war art brimming with vitality, connecting the flesh and bones of the entire Leaf Village.
After a long while, Tobirama Senju slowly stood up.
The signature cold, serious expression on his face gradually faded at this moment, replaced by a complex look of surprise and approval.
Tobirama raised his head, his red eyes fixed intently on Sakumo Hatake.
"you……"
He paused, as if searching for the right word.
"He's an even better ninja than I imagined."
Ultimately, the second generation gave it a very high rating.
"This plan is more suitable for Konoha now than my initial idea."
Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake's nerves, which had been taut all night, finally relaxed completely.
A wave of exhaustion, like a landslide or a tsunami, washed over him, but he simply straightened his back, showing no sign of fatigue.
The drawing paper, warmed by body heat, seemed to emanate an even warmer power from the inside of his clothes.
Tobirama Senju withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the scroll, the fervor of a scientist once again taking over his mind.
"Now, we need someone to help us handle these tedious tasks."
The words echoed in the strategic command room, calm yet carrying an undeniable conclusion.
Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's straight back did not relax in the slightest.
Almost immediately, an image popped into his mind: a man with a pineapple-shaped haircut, who always complained about how troublesome things were, and who was probably lounging somewhere, leisurely catching up on sleep while watching the clouds in the sky.
Nara deer antlers.
Who else could it be but him?
The only person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could combine the First Hokage's boundless creativity, the Second Hokage's meticulous scientific concepts, and his own militarized management system, into a truly functional and efficient system, was that man who was utterly averse to trouble.
"I see."
Without wasting any words, Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly to Senju Tobirama again, then carefully re-rolled the huge scroll that contained his night's worth of effort and tied it with rope.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Tobirama Senju waved his hand without even turning around. His attention was once again drawn to the structural blueprints of the reservoir dam on the table, and he began to discuss with Orochimaru the problem of energy conduction runes decaying during long-term underwater operation.
