The farce-like jounin meeting finally ended with Tsunade's departure, and the jounin stood up one after another to leave.
At this moment, the voice of the Third Hokage sounded, not too loud but not too small, but enough for everyone to hear.
"Uchiha Tatsumi stays."
Everyone just kept their eyes on the young man for a moment and walked out of the conference room faster.
After going to bed, Koharu was the last one to leave. She walked up to Uchiha Tatsumi, patted his shoulder, gave him a reassuring look, and then opened the door and left.
She knew that the Third Hokage would not do anything to Uchiha Tatsu no matter what, after all, the relationship between the two was there.
Of course Uchiha Tatsumi understands this. In fact, even if the Third Hokage didn't say anything, he would take the initiative to stay.
As the door closed again, the entire conference room became empty.
The Third Hokage didn't speak, but took out a pipe from his pocket, lit it and took a very comfortable puff, and then a large amount of smoke surrounded the air.
"Smoking is harmful to your health, so smoke less."
"Haha, I've always wanted to quit, but I haven't been able to quit for more than 20 years. Anyway, this is my hobby, so I'll take it to my grave."
Uchiha Tatsumi raised his eyebrows. Are you sure this is your hobby? Then who is the one who uses telescopes to spy on others taking showers every day
It was obvious that the Third Hokage had also thought of this, so he smiled awkwardly. His original calm and intimidating aura also disappeared, and he became the neighbor uncle again.
"That guy Tsunade usually threatens you a lot, right?" In order to cover up his embarrassment, the Third Hokage changed the subject.
"Ah haha, teacher, she... is also doing it for my own good." Uchiha Tatsumi said insincerely.
The Third Hokage smiled, shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of? There is a soundproof sealing technique here, and she can't hear it."
"She's everywhere."
The Third Hokage: "... ... "
"In fact, when it comes to medical ninjas, I think Tsunade-sensei is right." Uchiha Tatsu calmed down his expression and said seriously.
"Oh." The Third Hokage said noncommittally, "If you want to convince me, this alone is not enough..."
Of course Uchiha Tatsumi knew that in order to convince others, he had to present enough evidence to slap someone in the face, and just relying on his mouth and keyboard was far from enough. So he reached out and took out a small scroll from his ninja bag, which he had already prepared, and handed it to the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage placed his pipe on the table, then took the scroll and read it silently.
He was still a little careless at first, but his expression became more and more serious, and in the end he turned out to be very ugly.
After a while, he closed the scroll and placed it on the table. He was lost in thought for a while, not caring about the pipe that was about to be extinguished.
"Is all the data in this scroll true?" the Third Hokage asked after a long pause.
"It's true. My teammates and I went to check. The list of ninja deaths, causes of death, and teams are all registered in detail at Konoha Hospital. All we need to do is count them up and calculate the mortality rate." Uchiha Tatsumi said. It's simple, but actually requires thousands of statistics.
The Third Hokage nodded. He would naturally send someone to verify it again afterwards, but the content in this scroll was really... shocking enough.
The content of the scroll is very simple. It shows the death rates of the team with a medical ninja and without a medical ninja during the mission respectively.
Because the number of medical ninjas was too small, only seventy teams with medical ninjas were counted. The team without medical ninjas counted two hundred.
The results are clear at a glance: the mortality rate of the former is only 9%, while the mortality rate of the latter is as high as 14%.
If this result doesn't mean anything, then the following statistics are even more shocking. Since the start of the Ninja World War, the mortality rate of the former has increased to 16%, while the mortality rate of the latter has soared to 47%!
The latter is actually three times the former. In other words, if there is a medical ninja in the team, your survival rate will increase by 30%.
This is a statistic that alarms the Third Hokage. If anyone told him that there was a method that could increase the survival rate of ninjas by 30%, and to get this method, he would not hesitate to initiate a ninja war.
Now, the method was right in front of him. And he had rejected it ten minutes ago. How stupid and short-sighted this was.
And just before today, no one in the entire ninja world had noticed this. Is it true that everyone only thinks about muscles
"Uncle Hokage, will you agree to the plan to cultivate a large number of medical ninjas?" Uchiha Tatsuo asked, looking at the uncertain old face of the third generation of Hokage.
"Obviously, you have convinced me. If this data is true, I will immediately order the establishment of a complete medical ninja training system, and within a few years, gradually equip each team with a medical ninja."
Although Iwagakure has been defeated now, the Third Hokage will not let down his guard. The early days of the First Ninja War were very similar to now. At that time, everyone thought that the war would end soon.
But no one expected that the war would last for four years and almost bring down the villages of the five major countries.
He also had no idea how long this war would last. Then cultivating medical ninja quickly will likely become an important factor in Konoha's victory. It's totally worth tightening your belt just for this, that's a 30% survival rate!
Seeing that the Third Hokage agreed, Uchiha Tatsuya felt relieved. If he doesn't agree, it's almost back to the original history.
You must know that according to the original history, almost no one in the entire Ninja Village recognized Tsunade, which greatly delayed the development of medical ninjas.
After World War II ended, World War III actually started within a few years. Although the village trained a lot of medical ninjas at that time, they were not that many. Therefore, after Konoha won the one-on-three victory, its vitality was still severely damaged. .
"By the way, why didn't you give this scroll to me at the meeting instead of giving it to me now?" The Third Hokage asked, staring into Uchiha Tatsu's eyes.
Uchiha Tatsuya knew that it was time to improve his favorability. After practicing countless times, his eyes turned red in an instant.
"When this number was calculated, I was very shocked and sad. I am sad that so many of my companions died like this. Originally... they could all survive." Uchiha Tatsu's voice was also choked with sobs.
"I know what I want to do. But when I calm down, I realize that this data cannot be leaked under any circumstances. Ordinary ninjas will not care about the village's difficulties. If they know that there are medical ninjas in the team, they can increase their survival rate. If it reaches 30%, they will immediately ask the village to assign medical ninjas."
"They will wonder why some teams have them but my team does not. Those who have lost relatives will think that the death of my relatives was caused by the lack of medical ninjas."
"But the village cannot meet their requirements at all. Therefore, before the village has the ability, this data must not be leaked, otherwise it will cause chaos."
Uchiha Tatsumi had been pondering these words for a long time. He planned to shape himself in terms of love for his companions and maturity. Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the Third Hokage's eyes became more and more satisfied.
"Yes, you did the right thing. This data must not be leaked. Fairness is the most important thing in maintaining the village." The third Hokage nodded and said.
"It's just that I didn't expect that at the age of ten you could think like a Hokage."
Uchiha Tatsumi secretly cursed, in the future a seven-year-old child might break my record.
"It's really hard for you to sort this out from thousands of data in just a few days." After the Third Hokage put away the scroll, he patted Uchiha Tatsumi on the shoulder.
It seems... not too hard, right? He remembered that Kushina and Naoki created tens of thousands of shadow clones together, and it only took half a day to do it, and he even secretly took a nap.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, without any pause, he said something that moved the Third Hokage deeply.
"It's not hard at all. I'm a screw. Wherever the village needs it, I'll screw it in!"

(PS: Just take a look at the mortality rate data and don’t blame me for writing it. After all, I don’t know what the real number is) (To be continued)
