Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Although the new inventions made by Neji were not made by Neji alone.

However, all the ideas for this robotic arm were proposed by Neji alone.

And in the end, the patent was also in Neji's hands.

It has to be said that based on this point alone, Neji's rating in Yuya's heart cannot be low.

Of course, if you really get to the bottom of it...

So the reason why Neji couldn't figure it out before, but has figured it out now...

The reason is very simple.

In the past, no one invested money in Ningji!

Now...

Tenten's title of rich woman is not given for nothing. She is really rich and is willing to spend money on Neji.

Coincidentally, this second round of assessment focuses on innovation ability or scientific research ability.

Isn't this just walking into the trap?

Most research, if it has sufficient funding, will eventually produce some results.

Not to mention that Neji already had a plan in mind.

After receiving the information handed over by Ningci, Youya came to the practice site excitedly.

Ningji has been waiting here for a long time.

After waving his hand to indicate that it was no use, Youya looked straight to the point and said, "Just demonstrate it directly. There's no need to go through all those complicated formalities in front of me."

Neji nodded and pulled out a remote.

The mechanical arm on the ground turned around the moment Neji took out the remote control.

"I set it up according to the infrared function." Neji explained to Yuya, "There is an infrared transmitter inside the remote control. Of course, it is usually turned off."

Youya nodded to continue.

Neji then pointed the remote at the robot arm in front of him.

The robot arm immediately began to rotate and perform various movements.

Then Neji continued to press a button, and the mechanical arm made a soft fist posture, and then chakra suddenly burst out around it to form a small defensive magnetic field similar to Kaiten.

"This one only looks like a revival of the sky, but it doesn't have the same strong defensive power as the revival of the sky. However, I have tested it and it can resist ten detonating talismans."

Youya nodded: "That's great, how much does this defense cost?"

Neji looked a little embarrassed, "The cost of chakra is nothing, it's mainly metal material, and rare gold is added to it so the cost is quite expensive."

You Ya frowned: "How much does it cost exactly?"

"Well, for a single arm, it's about 10 million taels."

You Ya touched his chin and said, "So basically two arms cost 20 million... um... the cost is quite high."

An embarrassed look appeared on Hyuga Neji's face.

Tiantian, who was wearing a long skirt, with her hair down and looking like a housewife, also became nervous.

Both of them were looking at Youya nervously.

After a moment, Youya stood up and patted Ningci on the shoulder: "It's pretty good. Although the cost is relatively high, if it is installed on drones in large quantities, it can also increase the defense of the drones."

Neji looked at Yuya with some confusion.

A drone... it flies in the sky and basically explodes to attack the enemy. Is this kind of mechanical arm really useful?

Yuya smiled mysteriously at Neji's expression.

Drones...are not just the ones that fly in the sky.

The robot dog running on the ground and the unmanned mechanical submarine swimming in the water are all unmanned machines, so why are they not considered drones?

If it is paired with this kind of mechanical arm...

If nothing else, the diversity of tasks can also be increased.

For example, if the robot dog is equipped with these arms, it can go to the mission site to carry out collection tasks.

The mechanical dog itself has the attribute of exploration mission. Now it can not only explore, but also directly bring back things from the target location. This is of great use.

For example, in the ninja world, there is a secret technique that can fix poison fog in one place to block the enemy. At this time, a mechanical dog is sent out to collect the soil in the poison fog or simply collect the poison fog itself, and then come back to conduct targeted detoxification research. Isn't this just solving a big problem easily?

Doesn’t it seem like it has a huge effect?

Not to mention that it can also be installed in daily life and equipped with the fire brigade of Konoha Village. When the time comes, the rescue robot dog with arms will rush in, and there will be no need for the fire brigade to rush into the fire to save people under the flames.

Why not just use ninjutsu to put out the fire?

Saving lives is definitely the first priority. If you use water escape to put out a fire, what if the burning house collapses? Wouldn't that mean you could have saved the victim but killed him?

So this thing really does have an effect, and it’s quite powerful!

Therefore, Yuya nodded to Neji because he really thought it was useful.

"That's pretty good. Have you applied for a patent?"

Neji nodded quickly.

"That's fine. If you want to continue researching this thing, you can. But I suggest you give it to the research institute. Not only can you get about 1 billion in copyright fees right away, but when you really start producing it, you will get 3 to 5 percent of the profit for each robotic arm as a patent fee."

Ningci showed a hesitant expression: "I want to continue my research..."

Youya smiled and patted Ningci's shoulder: "That's fine. It's fine if you want to continue researching. If the cost is reduced by then, the copyright fee given by the research institute will be more expensive."

Neji breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Tiantian, who was not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he looked over here.

After finishing this matter, Youya looked at Tiantian beside him and said jokingly with a smile: "You two, I remember, were not students of the same ninja school, right? In the end, you were able to get together. Is there some reason that I don't know?"

Tenten blushed a little, but still smiled lively at Yuya: "That's thanks to you, Hokage. Neji and I...were on the same team during the Chunin Exam."

You Ya blinked, then nodded: "Oh, I see. At that time, I was considered your matchmaker."

Tenten blushed and nodded.

Yuya continued to pat Neji's shoulder: "Be nice to Tenten, this girl is a very good girl."

Neji nodded seriously.

"Okay, that's it. By the way, for this thing you made this time, I'll give you extra points on the list of candidates."

Ningci was a little surprised: "Bonus points?"

"Ah, I gave scores to all the candidates for Hokage."

As he spoke, You Ya touched his chin and said, "By the way, is it a bit inappropriate for me to tell you this?"

Ningci was speechless: "..."

You Ya smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, it's okay, it's okay to tell you, anyway, I won't tell you the specific score.

I'll give you one point for your innovation this time. By the way, you should be in the top three now."

Neji was a little surprised, but also a little excited inside.

If you really say that he has no idea about the position of Hokage, that is absolutely impossible.

And there is someone behind him now.

Thinking of this, Ningci subconsciously asked: "Who are the other two?"

When asked this, Neji's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out. He looked at Youya fiercely. When he met Youya's half-smile, Neji stammered, "Hokage-sama, I, I didn't mean that..."

Youya laughed and patted Neji's shoulder: "It's okay, it's normal to have this question. It would be strange if you didn't care about this problem."

Then, Youya said softly: "As for the other two people, one is Uchiha Shisui, and the other is that little girl Yuhi Kurenai."

Neji looked ashamed.

sunset red...

It's his elder...

Forget it, compared to the Hokage, Kurenai Yuhi is just a little girl.

but……

Neji was a little confused, why were the other two in the top three Shisui and Kurenai Yuhi?

Neji frowned: "Naruto is not in the top three? This... shouldn't be the case..."

Having said that, Neji raised his head and looked at Yuya with an embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I think I spoke my mind."

Youya didn't say anything. He patted Ningji on the shoulder, encouraged him to improve the mechanical arm as soon as possible, and then left.

After Youya left, Tenten quickly came over, looked at Neji excitedly and said, "Ningji, the Hokage said that you are now among the top three candidates!"

Ningci shook his head: "That was before. I was a little too talkative. If I hadn't asked that question subconsciously, I might have been in the top three."

Tenten was stunned, and looked at Neji anxiously: "Then, what should we do?!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Neji looked at Tenten, and the anxious look on the other's face made Neji couldn't help but smile.

"Why do you have that expression? If four people are chosen from ten to inherit the position of Hokage, my best success rate is only one in ten. But look at my back, apart from your family, my father, his friends, and the support of the Hyuga branch family, I don't have any other power. Compared with the other nine people, I am only slightly better than Senior Yuhi Kurenai."

Tiantian blinked: "So, what you mean is..."

Ningji rubbed Tenten's head and said, "I have never been interested in the position of Hokage. I didn't even want to participate in this assessment. It was my father who forced me to come here."

Tenten reached out, held Neji's hand and then asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Ningji sighed: "Let's take it one step at a time."

As he said this, Neji lowered his head and began to think.

"Naruto isn't even among the top three candidates... This... shouldn't be the case...

Um... Yuhi Kurenai-senpai and Shisui-senpai..."

Thinking of this, Neji looked at Tenten and said, "I'll leave the matters here to you. As for me, after I finish my work today, I will go to the areas under the jurisdiction of Senior Shisui and Senior Yuhi Kurenai to take a look."

Tiantian nodded: "Okay, no problem, then will you go home for dinner tonight?"

Neji thought about it and nodded: "Yes, but it might be a little late."

Tiantian happily agreed: "It's okay, I'll be fine when I come back~"

Neji looked at Tenten and sighed inwardly.

Always felt……

He inexplicably took on the pressure that he didn't want to bear at all...

……

Neji is in the western area, while Shisui and Kurenai are in the southern and eastern areas respectively.

Therefore, the first place Neji arrived was the southern part of the inner city of Konoha Village.

As soon as Neji arrived at the area under Shisui's jurisdiction, he felt a little confused.

Some... are too ordinary...

In his jurisdiction, people on the roads are always in a hurry.

And there are those delivery guys at the lower level who are always in a hurry.

In the South District, although the delivery guys on the road are also driving very fast, if they encounter a red light, they will immediately stop and wait.

Then the trucks, cars, and various vehicles on the road that transport goods strictly obey traffic rules.

And everyone has their own lane.

How should I put it? This should be a very normal thing, but it is an incredible thing for Neji.

Running red lights is a common sight in the area under his jurisdiction.

how did you do that?

Neji walked and observed.

He found that there seemed to be no difference between Shisui's jurisdiction and his own...

People in the park are all resting, exercising, or taking a walk.

Go to the next place, a shopping district...

Finally, I seem to be a bit busy...

It was lunchtime and all the businesses were very busy.

Ningji found a store with fewer people and went in. He ordered some food at random. After finishing his lunch, he understood why there were so few people in this store.

Expensive and unpalatable.

How did this store stay open?

It seems that not everything is normal in Shisui's jurisdiction.

Forget it, let’s go find Shisui first.

As Neji continued walking, looking at the busy, anxious, or happy faces of the people around him, he suddenly understood...

The biggest difference between his jurisdiction and Shisui's...

That should be within his jurisdiction... There are too few expressions of this variety...

Although he created many jobs, many more jobs were also created for the lower-class people in his jurisdiction.

However, their busy work prevented them from showing any expression other than numbness.

So……

Shisui...

How did he manage to make his area so...

normal?

Yes, that's normal.

After discovering Shisui's jurisdiction, Neji felt that the inner city of Konoha Village should be like this.

Like this, people's faces have a variety of rich expressions, not just numb expressions due to hard work.

Ningji touched his chin. He seemed...

Some people realize what they are missing...

Just when he figured it out, a little girl suddenly tried to cross the road against the red light.

Just then, a boy grabbed her and said, "Are you crazy?! That light is red!"

The little girl looked at the boy with dissatisfaction: "Now there is no car again!"

The boy looked at the little girl seriously and said, "If you run a red light and cross the road, your video of running a red light will appear on the Internet tomorrow! Your parents will know about it!"

When the little girl heard this, she shrank back in fear.

"I didn't run a red light! I didn't run a red light!"

As Ningci watched this scene, an idea suddenly occurred to him...

He seems to know...

How did Shisui manage to stay in the top three despite not increasing the population in the first round and not having any technological innovation in the second round...
