Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 324 Konoha's Seventy-Seventh Year

Konoha 77th year

Ten years have passed since the Fourth Shinobi World War. Although the five great shinobi villages joined forces to defeat the enemy, the shinobi world suffered severe damage.

Therefore, the five major powers jointly agreed to hold the Five Shadows Conference to negotiate and resolve the friction between them, thus completely erasing the war during the peace talks.

Because of the long period of peace, the five great nations have developed rapidly in all aspects. Konoha Village has expanded several times over, and electric railcars have been built around it. Even the Hokage Rock has seen the construction of many high-rise buildings.

"Konoha 77th year. It's far from what was predicted. Li, what's going on?"

Uchiha Yangyi took out the plow and asked, "I originally wanted to go directly to Konoha in the 83rd year, when Otsutsuki Isshiki would have just appeared. I could have found out Otsutsuki Isshiki's lair and also obtained a Ten-Tails hatchling."

Furthermore, by utilizing the Otsutsuki Isshiki and the energy of the dragon vein, new divine tree fruits can be cultivated.

Once back in his own time and space, he can find Isshiki Otsutsuki, obtain the Ten-Tails, and cultivate a new Divine Tree Fruit.

The plan was going well, but during the time travel, Li suddenly got stuck and was sent out of the time tunnel.

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's question, Li explained, "Energy consumption has suddenly increased. For every year of travel from now on, energy consumption will double. We need to replenish our energy before we can travel again!"

"Not enough energy? What's the reason? This is the fifth time we've replenished the energy."

"unknown."

Uchiha Yoichi checked the energy of the plow and found that it had less than 10% remaining. He then calculated that he would need to use his own chakra to fill the plow about twelve times in order to travel to six years in the future.

He just replenished his chakra five times, and each time it consumed chakra, it took a considerable amount of time to recover.

"Forget it, let's just stay here. Traveling to the future is really exhausting. If I have the chance, I can also research the Pure Eye."

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Yoichi made a decision. A few years was nothing to him, and the phoenix was becoming increasingly unstable when traveling through time.

Perhaps traveling to the future is full of uncertainties.

It just took a long time; it was six years before Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared.

"Let's study alchemy."

After thinking it over, Uchiha Yangyi walked in another direction, intending to settle down first; he had refined the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, cultivated mental power, and had Yao Chen's experience in medicine refining.

Given the right medicinal herbs, Uchiha Yoichi felt he could refine pills of grade six or seven.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

There is a local department that specifically manages merchants. If you want to do business in Konoha, you need to register with this department. Since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, various countries have started to pay attention to commerce.

"So, you want to open a pharmacy?"

The Konoha ninja looked at the application in front of him and asked somewhat uncertainly.

Uchiha Yoichi corrected him, "It's not a pharmacy that sells medicines. To be precise, it's a pharmacy that buys rare medicinal herbs and sells some of my own homemade secret medicines."

The Konoha ninja in front of him asked in surprise, "Eh, sir, you're also a medical ninja?"

"No, no, I'm a pharmacist, and I'm only here to collect things."

Uchiha Yang shook his head, then pointed to the application form and asked, "Did it pass?"

"Of course, but if there are any problems, we will shut down your shop. Have you found a location?"

Uchiha Yoichi: "I've already found one. I happened to come across a shop selling them on my way here, so I bought it."

Upon hearing this, the Konoha ninja stopped asking questions and stamped the application form, thus approving Uchiha Yoichi's pharmacy.

Although Konoha in this timeline encourages commerce, it seems to have no oversight whatsoever. Uchiha Yoichi opened a pharmacy, and Konoha didn't ask any questions in detail before allowing him to open it.

In his timeline, ordinary merchants wouldn't be qualified to sell medicine in Konoha.

Upon returning, Uchiha Yoichi took over the shop. It was quite large; it had originally been a grain shop, but the owner wanted to pursue other businesses and planned to sell it.

It was precisely because the shop was quite large that it was difficult to find someone to take it over. It was fortunate that Uchiha Yangyi came to Konoha, otherwise his three-story shop would have been empty.

The first floor is used for business, the second floor has been converted into a medicine-making area, and the third floor is a space for daily rest.

Uchiha Yoichi hasn't refined medicine in a long time. This time, he plans to study it for a longer period of time. If possible, he also wants to try refining medicine using the fruits of the Divine Tree.

I wonder if there are any newly discovered medicinal herbs in this ninja world. At least it's been more than twenty years more developed than his timeline.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, the five great ninja villages negotiated peace. In the ten years that followed, there were no frictions; on the contrary, their relationship improved. As a result, the new generation of ninjas did not have any life-or-death mission experiences.

However, they graduated at the age of twelve, still with the mindset of children, and had no life-or-death experiences to help them grow up quickly; the instructors for the new generation of ninja academy students were ninjas who had experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War, and sometimes their war experiences would inspire these new generation students.

Therefore, when carrying out tasks, they tend to show off excessively, which makes them appear very immature and childish.

After tidying up all three floors of the pharmacy, Uchiha Yoichi placed a notice in the newspaper, stating that he wanted to collect special and precious medicinal materials, those rich in energy or with long growth periods, all of which were within his acquisition scope.

Uchiha Yangyi went to the biggest newspaper in the ninja world. Once he published this "GG" article, almost everyone in the five great nations could see it. He just didn't know if anyone would come knocking.

"Let's begin the alchemy."

After finishing all this, Uchiha Yoichi returned to the second floor, preparing to hone his alchemy skills. Although he had gained alchemy experience from Yao Chen, he only practiced for a short time before giving up. Nohara Rin had practiced alchemy for much longer than him.

"Mom, I'm home."

After finishing her day of classes, Sarada returned home and sighed. She had encountered such a troublesome situation on her first day of school.

Upon entering the house, Sarada saw her mother reading a newspaper and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are you reading?"

Sakura snapped out of her daze, looked up, and quickly apologized with a smile, "Sarazana, you're back! Sorry, I was distracted. Are you hungry?"

Sarada shook her head and asked, "I'm not very hungry, but Mom, what are you looking at so intently?"

"I'm looking at a guy's profile. Apparently, a new pharmacy has opened in Konoha. It not only sells secret medicines but also buys all sorts of rare and exotic medicinal herbs. If you get selected, you can get at least one million ryo."

Sakura, now a married woman, pointed to the "GG" in the newspaper and said, then rested her chin on her hand, "If we could sell a valuable medicinal herb, the mortgage burden would be a little lighter. Sarada, how about we sell the medicinal herb Dad brought back?"

Sarada shook her head and said, "Mom, you can decide this. But what kind of secret medicine does this pharmacy sell? It doesn't say anything on the label."

Sakura smiled and asked, "I don't know, I'll go check another day. Anyway, Sarada, how was your first day of school?"

"This is terrible. The opening ceremony was going smoothly, but that idiot Boruto ruined it all."

Sarada shrugged and waved her hand, saying, "He's also suspended from school. Being in the same class as this troublesome guy will definitely cause him a lot of trouble in the future."

"Heh, this guy looks a lot like his father. Oh well, let's wash our hands and get ready to eat."

Sakura quickly waved her hand and said that after hearing what Boruto had done, she was reminded of Naruto when he was a child.

After a while, Sakura brought out the food she had prepared. While eating with Sarada, she listened to her talk about the Ninja Academy. When she heard something interesting, Sakura would cover her mouth and giggle.

Although she is almost thirty years old, she looks very young and beautiful, both in terms of figure and appearance, and does not look like a wife who has given birth.

However, Sasuke Uchiha was often away on missions that were highly classified and not recorded, so it was difficult to calculate his ninja compensation.

The whole family relies on Sakura's income, so the house they live in is bought with a loan. If Sakura weren't the head of the medical department, her family's financial burden would be even greater.

The next day.

After finishing her breakfast, Sarada greeted Sakura, saying, "Mom, I'm going to school now. I've taken my lunch too."

"Bon Voyage."

After watching her daughter leave, Sakura went home and started doing housework. Today she didn't need to go to Konoha Hospital. Normally, if there's nothing important, she can rest two days a week.

"What should we do today? How about we go to a pharmacy?"

Sakura thought for a moment and took out the medicinal herbs that Sasuke had left behind last time. He had brought them back while on a mission. Sakura originally planned to use them to make some soldier rations, but she couldn't buy the other matching herbs, so she gave up the idea.

"We haven't heard from Sasuke lately, so let's exchange some money to help with household expenses."

After thinking for a while, Sakura made up her mind, then found the brocade box containing the medicine, looked at the address in the newspaper, and then went out the door.

"Sakura!"

Not long after, Sakura suddenly heard someone call her. Turning around, she immediately greeted them with a smile, "Ino, did you go out today?"

Yamanaka Ino waved her hand and smiled, "I went to get some flowers and just got back. Are you going to the hospital?"

Sakura shook her head and said, "Hmm~, I'm planning to go to a newly opened pharmacy and ask if they buy medicinal herbs. These are the ones Sasuke brought back last time; they're just sitting at home doing nothing."

Ino asked, "A newly opened pharmacy? Sakura, if they sell medicinal herbs, why don't you ask Shikamaru? Doesn't his family specialize in that?"

"Haha, I just happened to see GG in the newspaper."

Sakura chuckled and said that selling it to Shikamaru would feel like begging for help, so she hadn't gone to look for it.

Sakura quickly changed the subject, saying, "Ino, if you're free, come with me to take a look. It seems to be a newly opened pharmacy, and I heard they sell secret medicines."
