Amado immediately nodded; he understood Torifu's meaning. It was to show off in front of the two Kage, to give them a concept that Konoha had already adopted new things, while their Villages were still using the old ones.
Out of respect for the major Ninja Villages, even if Torifu didn't mention these second-generation appliances, the two Kage would bring it up themselves.
"Alright, then I'll quickly have them rush out another batch. Otherwise, forget about attracting the attention of the Kazekage and Tsuchikage; they'll probably be snatched up as soon as they go on sale."
Torifu waved his hand, "You decide what's best. I'm very confident leaving these matters to you."
Amado also smiled upon hearing this. In all these years, the two brothers had never had an argument.
Perhaps it was because no matter what Amado wanted to do, Torifu would unconditionally support him. Even if he ultimately failed and didn't achieve a good result, Torifu wouldn't care; he would only comfort Amado by saying it was for accumulating experience.
Torifu wasn't very concerned about profits either. Although all the blueprints and factories were provided by Torifu, he still split the profits fifty-fifty with Amado.
One must know that the appliances produced by the factories and sold to the All Ninja World, even a mere ten percent of the profit, would be something ordinary people could never hope to achieve in a lifetime.
But Torifu simply didn't care about these things.
"By the way, Big Brother, how did your discussion go today?"
Bringing this up, Torifu remembered that he had been so busy talking about appliances that he hadn't really told Amado about the discussions at today's banquet.
"Amegakure's ambition has been brought to the surface. This war is inevitable; it's only a matter of time before it breaks out."
Amado had thought it was just a minor skirmish, and a lesson would suffice, but he didn't expect it to escalate to the point of outright war.
"Amegakure's confidence is that strong? Do they dare to go to war with three countries simultaneously?"
Torifu spread his hands, "That's also something I don't understand. I don't know what Hanzo is really planning."
Even with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's subordinates as backing, it shouldn't be enough for him to wage war against three major Ninja Villages simultaneously.
After so many years of building up strength, each Village can probably dispatch ten thousand Ninja. With thirty thousand troops pressing down, can Amegakure, this small Village, handle it?
Perhaps Hanzo has other strategies, but Torifu doesn't fear him. He can just bring out whatever tricks he has.
"Alright, I'll go back and rest for a bit. This afternoon, you can release the news that the second-generation appliances are about to go on sale and warm up the Village."
Amado nodded, "Okay, I understand, Big Brother. You go rest first."
Torifu heard him and walked into the courtyard, setting up a rocking chair by his house door and lying on it to rest with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Amado headed to the Konoha factory.
Because the factory's production of appliances requires the emission of some exhaust gases, and in order not to affect the daily lives of the Villagers and the image of Konoha, it has been moved to the back mountain of Konoha.
That was a forested area that had not been developed, and Torifu had no plans to develop residential areas on it in the future, so he simply moved all the factories there.
This way, it wouldn't be too far for workers to commute, and the gases and sounds emitted by the factory wouldn't affect the Village.
After Amado pushed open the factory gate, a young man with blue hair walked over.
"Amado, why are you here?"
Amado patted Kato Kon's shoulder, "Your Big Brother Torifu asked me to tell you that the second-generation appliances will be sold to the public tomorrow, so today you must rush to produce enough goods. If possible, have everyone work some overtime."
Kon nodded, "That's no problem. As long as the overtime pay is doubled, the Villagers should be quite willing."
Amado waved his hand, "Do it that way. Our factory has ample funds, so we can't treat the Villagers poorly. However, if anyone is caught slacking off, you bring them to me. If they are caught twice, they will be directly fired."
"Alright, second brother, leave it all to me."
Although Kon's Ninja talent wasn't great, he had been training for many years and was already at the Genin level.
So, he still had some authority in this factory.
Moreover, everyone was from the same Village, and their relationships were quite good, so they naturally gave him some face.
"Come on, lead me to see the finished products. These goods are part of Big Brother's plan, and there can be no mistakes."
Hearing this, Kon also became serious, "Okay, second brother, follow me. The finished products have all been packed and are in the warehouse."
Led by Kon, the two arrived at the warehouse where the goods were stored.
He randomly opened a box, and inside was a washing machine.
Its exterior was metallic, with blue light strips embedded, and as soon as it was plugged in, the entire washing machine would instantly glow with a blue flowing light.
This was inspiration Amado got from the replicator, and applying it to these appliances felt completely natural, even adding a touch of futuristic appeal.
However, he wasn't entirely sure if the Villagers would like it.
Consider it an experiment.
"Good, there are no flaws in the craftsmanship. Pack them up. Get up early tomorrow and notify the shop owners to pick up the goods."
After Kon repacked the washing machine, he said to Amado, "Then you can watch here, second brother. I'm going to the factory side; I need to talk to the workers."
"Okay, you go."
There was more than one factory in the back mountain, and as a manager, Kon's daily work was quite busy, constantly moving between the various factories to supervise.
Therefore, Torifu also gave him very high treatment, and Kon could be said to have been watched by Torifu as he grew up, so he trusted him very much, which is why he let him manage the factory.
This saved both Torifu and Amado a lot of energy.
After handling all these matters, Amado also returned to the Village.
Before going to the factory, he had already spread the news, and by now, the Village was already discussing the second-generation appliances.
"Hey! Look, isn't that Amado-sama? Why don't we just go ask him?"
Amado, who had just come down from the mountain, hadn't even reacted when the Villagers surrounded him.
"Amado-sama, what does this 'second-generation appliance' mean? Is it a new product?"
Amado was startled upon hearing this, but then he smiled, "My mistake for not being clear. I have developed a second-generation version based on the previous household appliances. They are more practical and have a more elegant appearance, but the price has increased somewhat."
"So that's it. My washing machine has been rattling a lot lately, so I can get a new one."
At this point, Amado added, "Hokage-sama has introduced a preferential policy: all usable first-generation appliances can be used as a one-thousand-ryo voucher. He calls it 'trade-in for new'."
