Setsuna's proposal had managed to garner general approval among the shinobi community, but a significant shift occurred when he introduced the fourth point. The notion of researching kekkei genkai and secret ninjutsu struck a nerve, particularly among those who held their clan techniques sacred.

The atmosphere grew tense as murmurs of dissent filled the room. Shinobi, proud of their clan traditions, found it difficult to accept the idea of exposing their secrets to scrutiny, even if it was for the sake of advancing medical knowledge.

Tobirama, renowned for his skepticism and wariness, was the first to voice strong opposition. "Uchiha Setsuna, what audacity is this? Clan secrets are not to be laid bare for the world to see. There's a reason we keep our techniques guarded. I would have expected more prudence from you."

Setsuna, calm amidst the rising disquiet, responded, "Tobirama-sama, I understand the sensitivity of clan techniques. The intention is not to exploit or reveal them. It's about finding ways to understand the human body better, to improve medical practices for all of Konoha."

Tobirama's eyes narrowed, his skepticism unwavering. "And how can we trust that the Uchiha won't misuse this information? Once a technique is exposed, it becomes vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation."

The room became a battlefield of conflicting opinions. Those who valued the sanctity of their clan techniques echoed Tobirama's concerns, while others saw Setsuna's proposal as a progressive step toward a more advanced and informed Konoha.

Hashirama, attempting to mediate, stated, "Let us consider the potential benefits of such research. It could lead to medical breakthroughs that benefit everyone. However, we must establish stringent protocols to ensure the responsible use of this knowledge."

As the discussion continued, a line was drawn, separating those who embraced innovation and collaboration from those who guarded their kekkei genkai secrets with unwavering determination. The fate of Setsuna's comprehensive proposal hung in the balance, and the leaders faced the challenging task of finding common ground that would honor both progress and tradition.

Setsuna stood his ground, his conviction unwavering. Facing the skepticism of Tobirama and others who shared his concerns, Setsuna spoke with a calm determination.

"Senju Tobirama-sama, I understand your reservations. But consider this: the secrecy surrounding kekkei genkai and clan techniques hasn't prevented illicit attempts at obtaining and exploiting them. By establishing a research department openly, we can monitor and regulate the process, ensuring responsible and ethical practices."

He continued, "If we refuse to acknowledge the need for such research, individuals with malicious intent will find other means to access and manipulate these techniques. This way, we can safeguard our clan secrets collectively and share the benefits of medical advancement with everyone in Konoha."

Hashirama, sensing the tension, added, "We can establish strict protocols and oversight to ensure that the research is conducted ethically. This will not only prevent misuse but also allow us to collectively harness the potential of our combined knowledge."

Tobirama remained skeptical but seemed to consider the practical implications. Setsuna's proposal wasn't just about medical advancements; it was about creating a system that prevented the exploitation of kekkei genkai while promoting cooperation.

The room fell silent as Tobirama deliberated, weighing the potential benefits against the risks. The fate of the proposal hung in the balance, and the leaders faced the challenging task of finding common ground.

After a moment, Tobirama finally spoke, "Fine, but the oversight must be stringent. I won't allow any compromise when it comes to the security of our techniques."

Setsuna nodded, acknowledging Tobirama's concerns. "I appreciate your caution, Tobirama-sama. We'll work together to establish the necessary safeguards."

With Tobirama's conditional acceptance, the tension eased, and the leaders began discussing the specifics of the research department. The path to progress and collaboration was paved with challenges, but Setsuna's unwavering vision aimed to bridge the divide between tradition and innovation, forging a new era for Konoha.
