Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 292 Personal Issues

In fact, compared to the combat power boost that bone cell serum and life serum can bring to an individual, the true value of these two serums is that they can increase the overall lifespan of people in the ninja world once again.

These two drugs can actually be seen as "stripping away the two bloodline limits and then infinitely weakening and compressing them to the point that any physique can absorb them".

Bone strengthening means increasing bone density and bone resilience—but outsiders don't have the blood of the bamboo thief clan, so simply increasing bone density isn't a good thing for human function and the body's ability to bear weight.

Increased bone density necessitates correspondingly increased muscle strength; otherwise, it becomes a burden.

This is the difficulty in making this gene serum—in other words, in terms of pure effectiveness, the gene serum from Sunagakure can also be replicated, and Yubi believes that someone in the ninja world has this ability to do so.

But the goal is to make it accessible to ordinary people—without any side effects.

From the elderly to children, everyone can receive the injection—but that doesn't mean everyone can do it.

Absorbing any bloodline power is not that easy.

Moreover, the differences in each bloodline power also determine the strength of its bloodline gene destructiveness.

Not every bloodline limit can be made into a medicine.

Strictly speaking, the bone cells of the bamboo-harvesting clan, unless Yubi used his technological abilities to "eliminate the drawbacks," would still be...

It has strong side effects.

The life-giving medicine derived from Mizuki Uzumaki's cells is entirely different.

Mizuki Uzumaki's cellular genes are very mild—this is evident from her abilities.

The bone cell agent had already been successfully developed. This agent was relatively easy to produce, and Yubi originally planned to launch it first—but after thinking about it, she decided to wait until the life agent was also successfully developed before selling it together.

So far, although two drugs have been developed, research on the third drug, namely interstitial cells, is not yet complete.

This third type of medicine is also the most difficult to make.

Moreover, even if it is successfully made, Yubi does not intend to sell it to the public.

"Just like pharmaceutical resources, sooner or later, gene serums will once again change the ecology of the ninja world. In fact, with the increasing popularity of the serums, it can be said that they have single-handedly raised the combat power benchmark of the entire ninja world, including the lifespan of civilians."

"But since everyone has improved, it's as if no one has improved at all—"

"After all, the main purpose of these two drugs is to make money."

"Now it's peacetime, unlike the war years before. We can use the situation to delay other forces' attempts to replicate it. Currently, Konoha is the most capable of replicating it, but Tsunade isn't good at gene-enhancing drugs; Orochimaru is the real expert—however, that guy has now become a rogue ninja."

"The scientific research capabilities of other countries in the ninja world should not be underestimated—but unlike pharmaceutical manufacturing, even if they can replicate it, independent research would take at least ten years—"

After seeing off the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, Yubi returned to his office in the Kazekage Building, his mind racing with thoughts.

dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Yubi called out.

Ye Cang pushed open the door and entered, carrying a stack of documents.

"Um?"

Yubi was taken aback. "It's you? Where's Arai?"

"Lord Kazekage - From today onwards, I will take over from Arai as your bodyguard and perform the administrative duties you command."

Ye Cang placed the document on the table and said solemnly.

Yubi realized what was happening.

"Okay, I'll leave things to you from now on."

"Um."

Ye Cang exchanged a glance with him and nodded. "If there's anything you need, just call me."

After saying that, he turned and left to stand guard outside the door.

"Ugh."

Yubi sighed softly after she left the room.

Arai is not young anymore—after all, he has followed the Third Kazekage for a long time, and as time goes by, he is over forty years old. Even though he is still in his prime, he does need to train a successor.

And this successor is clearly Ye Cang.

Making Yekura his personal bodyguard was, without a doubt, a decision made jointly by Chiyo and Arai.

I didn't discuss it with him either.

I know he won't get angry over something so trivial.

But what Yubi cared about was the real intention behind the two of them placing Yekura next to him.

Yubi is now twenty-one, and Yekura has also come of age.

He was also the Fourth Kazekage—looking around, all the other ninja village kage had families, were married and had children, but he was the only one—still alone, without even a partner.

Chiyo and the others witnessed all of this.

Not only Chiyo, but in fact, the entire Sunagakure leadership is very anxious.

Because in the ninja world, ninjas generally get married at a relatively young age.

Because they were about to embark on the battlefield, where life and death were uncertain, they all longed for a descendant.

At his age, marriage is an inevitable hurdle to overcome.

However, even the higher-ups in Sunagakure don't know what kind of girl he likes, or who he's interested in.

All that is clear is that Yekura's feelings for him are extraordinary.

So, Chiyo and Arai became matchmakers.

They wanted to secretly arrange a marriage.

Previously, Chiyo and Ebizo had subtly reminded Yubi of this point several times, but Yubi hadn't taken it to heart.

Because matters of romantic love are not what he pursues.

It was neither within his plans nor his objective.

From Yubi's perspective, having a family brings ties, and also—essentially—a weakness.

But he wasn't stupid; Yubi knew Yekura's feelings for him.

Previously, Yecang had been frantically grinding for quests, but now that it's peacetime, there aren't that many quests to do in the village, so she's become much more relaxed.

Yekura works so hard, always wanting to become stronger and catch up with herself—which is actually her way of getting closer to herself.

"Should we refuse?"

Yubi sighed.

He was really bad at handling this kind of thing, and he felt that if he told Ye Cangming, it would definitely hurt her feelings.

Given Yekura's personality, it's unlikely she'll have any thoughts of marriage after this incident.

Thinking of this, Yubi took out something.

A finely crafted kunai.

It was a gift that Yekura gave him when he was still at the Ninja Academy.

Yubi's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

For a moment, I lost all interest in my work.

After a moment, he put away his kunai, looked up, and called out, "Yakura."

Hearing the noise, Ye Cang came in from outside.

"Kazekage-sama."

Because it was work, Yekura's attitude was quite serious.

"that--"

Yubi coughed first, then looked Yekura up and down.

Upon seeing this, Yecang almost lost control, and his cheeks flushed.

Because she noticed something "unusual" in Yubi's eyes.

"Um—the weather's nice today."

"Uh—um—"

Ye Cang was stunned for a moment.

"Want to come out for a walk with me? Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since we took a walk and chatted together, like when we were kids."

Yubi scratched his face and spoke.

"it is good."

Ye Cang's face turned red, and she nodded stiffly.
