"There's no problem with the publicity. After the news of the Ability User Tournament was released, the public has been looking forward to it.
We didn't even publicize much, and it has already spread across various countries globally.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the first Ability User Tournament in half a year, hoping to watch the matches live.
The current issue is, you previously proposed in the plan that considering the safety of ability user battles, it's inconvenient in the city, and you wanted to buy a secluded island near New York to host this World's Greatest Ability User Tournament.
However, after investigation by our professionals, the islands that meet your requirements are quite expensive.
Also, for the tournament to be held, the entire island must be renovated in advance, which will be another huge sum of money…"
Listening to Susan calculating the various expenses, Adam understood what Susan was trying to convey.
It was actually very simple: if the World's Greatest Ability User Tournament were to be held entirely according to Adam's requirements, then the company wouldn't have enough money.
Thanks to the advertising effect of the Superheroes and various products extended from copyrights, the company has indeed made a lot of money so far.
However, not all of this money went into the company's account; it also had to pay salaries to the Superheroes and employees.
And Adam was acquiring companies, investing in games, supporting Miss Mariko, and now he had promised to fund Reed's experiments, so the company's capital was already under great strain.
If he were to buy a suitable secluded island and then develop it, it would not only take time but also, frankly, there wouldn't be enough money.
"So, what's your suggestion?"
"My suggestion is, regarding the timing of the World's Greatest Ability User Tournament, could it be postponed?
Based on the company's current revenue, to achieve the scale you desire, it would take at least two or three years; half a year is too short.
Or, we could reduce the scale. For our first Ability User Tournament, we could hold it on land first."
Susan tentatively suggested.
She didn't deny that the investments Adam was making now would earn a lot of money in the future, but League of Heroes had, after all, only been established for a short time, and its foundation was not deep enough.
Even with the support of the Xavier Family, it was still too strenuous.
Even if the funds were in place, the construction of the island would take time. It wouldn't just be held for one day; the food and accommodation for participants and spectators would also be an issue.
"There's no need to postpone the event. It has already been publicized, and there's no need to change the plan. Continue with the original publicity.
As for the island issue, you don't need to worry about it; I will handle it."
Adam thought for a moment and replied with a smile.
The problems that were difficult for Susan to solve were not problems at all for him now.
Buy an island? What nonsense. There are plenty of uninhabited desolate islands in the oceans of Earth. He would just have a Shadow Clone go find one.
As for it being too far, making it difficult for participants and spectators to arrive?
He could make Portkeys, couldn't he?
He could drop a Portkey in every city on Earth, and participants and spectators could directly use the Portkey to reach the secluded island. Isn't that more convenient than taking a boat or plane?
And the construction of the secluded island is also easy to solve.
It just so happened that he had been interested in Wood Release some time ago. He would find some time to research Wood Release. With Wood Release, he would be a master builder.
In some scrolls in Konoha, it was said that the First Hokage's Wood Release was essentially a Bloodline Limit formed by the fusion of Water and Earth natures.
But he felt that it should not just be the result of the fusion of two natures.
Otherwise, apart from the First Hokage, the Wood Release created by others' experiments later was not as effective and was far inferior to the First Hokage's Wood Release.
The fusion of Water and Earth natures could indeed result in Wood Release.
However, to achieve a Wood Release as powerful as the First Hokage's, it should also have been supplemented by the Sage Body of Ashura's reincarnation, meaning it carried some attributes of the God Tree.
Coincidentally, he inherited Naruto's physique, which means he possessed Ashura's Sage Body, and he had the Rinnegan, allowing him to use all natures. Water and Earth natures were naturally not a problem.
Logically speaking, he had already met the basic conditions for learning Wood Release.
Spending some time researching it, he should also be able to use Wood Release as powerful as the First Hokage's.
In fact, he felt that Naruto, as Ashura's reincarnation, also had the chance to learn Wood Release.
It's just that Naruto didn't master Water and Earth natures in the early stages, only mastering Wind nature, and his energy was entirely focused on the Kyuubi and making Rasengan.
Of course, facts proved that the path Naruto took was not bad either.
"Leave it to you?"
Susan was immediately full of questions.
Adam nodded:
"Yes, you just need to have someone make a general design blueprint for me."
After giving a few instructions, and regardless of Susan's confusion, he directly used Flying Thunder God to return to his school dormitory.
"Load Naruto template!"
With a flash of a figure, he had already arrived at Mount Myōboku.
Ever since he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he no longer needed to schedule a time with Naruto, because he could instantly teleport from Mount Myōboku to Konoha using Flying Thunder God at any time.
Previously, he usually set it for two in the afternoon for Naruto to summon him, but now he could appear whenever he wanted.
These past few days, because he went to Tokyo to save Logan and get the Adamantium liquid, he hadn't been as diligent as before.
The main reason was also that the Ninja World had been relatively peaceful recently.
Due to the Five Kage forming a joint elite sanction squad targeting the Akatsuki Organization, the Akatsuki Organization suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It was said that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, captured by Sasuke's Taka team, had also been found.
Konoha didn't need his help with anything, so naturally, there was no opportunity to exchange Ninjutsu. He had also learned most of the Sealing Technique.
Moreover, he had too many things to research recently and simply didn't have the energy to learn new Ninjutsu.
Apparition, Legilimency, new modes of combining different energies and Chakra, and so on.
This time he came back because of the Ability User Tournament, planning to allocate some time to research Wood Release and ask Tsunade if he could get any Wood Release related materials for reference.
After the First Hokage's death, Konoha had always been trying to create Wood Release Ninja as powerful as the First Hokage, and they had researched Wood Release extensively.
Even though it was later explicitly forbidden, Orochimaru and Danzo secretly conducted human experiments, creating Yamato.
Of course, anything involving Wood Release would definitely not be easy to borrow.
However, everything has value. As long as the stakes were high enough, he believed Tsunade would present the Wood Release data to him with both hands.
He just happened to have a lot of leverage in his hands: Obito, Madara, Black Zetsu, Ōtsutsuki, the God Tree, the Ten-Tails. Any one of these secrets should be enough to exchange for the Wood Release data.
Anyway, because of his influence, the entire Ninja World's development had already deviated from its original path, so a little more deviation wouldn't matter.
"Adam, something happened in Konoha!"
As soon as he was reverse-summoned to Mount Myōboku, Adam saw Gamabunta, who had bandages wrapped around him.
