Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 325 The Twin Flowers of Konoha

"It really just opened. I don't remember there being a pharmacy here before."

Ino looked around from outside, then said to Sakura impatiently, "Let's go, Sakura, let's go inside and take a look."

"Ino, there's no need to rush."

Sakura, her arm being pulled, smiled helplessly. Even at this age, Ino's personality remained the same as before.

After the two entered the pharmacy, they heard a bell ring, which they knew was the sound of welcoming guests; soon, Yamanaka Ino and Sakura saw a handsome young man with a unique temperament coming down the stairs.

Having cultivated his genetic energy and chakra to an extremely high level, Uchiha Yoichi's lifespan is at least several thousand years. Even without deliberately maintaining his appearance, he will not change within a thousand years.

"Sakura's boss is so handsome!"

When Yamanaka Ino saw Uchiha Yoichi, her eyes immediately lit up with little hearts as she whispered to Sakura.

Sakura quickly lowered her voice and said, "Ino, you're married."

"I know, I'm just taking a look."

After Yamanaka Ino finished speaking, she stopped her exaggerated manner, but still winked at Sakura.

Seeing this, Sakura could only sigh inwardly. Then she stepped forward and smiled at Uchiha Yoichi, saying, "Are you the owner here? I saw your boyfriend in the newspaper; he said he could buy medicinal herbs."

"That's right, today is our first day of business. Welcome, both of you."

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Yangyi went to the counter and continued, "May I ask who intends to sell medicinal herbs?"

"It's me. I have a ginseng root at home that's not very useful, so I'm planning to sell it."

After Xiaoying finished speaking, she took out the box she had prepared in advance and placed it on the counter: "Excuse me, boss, how much can I sell this for?"

"No problem, you're my first customer, I guarantee it'll be fair."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he opened the box, glanced at the ginseng inside, and slowly nodded, but then shook his head.

His experience in alchemy allowed him to instantly discern the age and condition of medicinal herbs. Haruno, now known as Uchiha Sakura, brought a ginseng that was of good age, approximately thirty-six years old, but it had been stored very poorly—virtually nonexistent.

"This ginseng is about thirty-six years old. It's been two years and seven months since it was unearthed and packaged, so the storage wasn't very good. How about 300,000 taels? What do you think, sir?"

"Three hundred thousand taels? That's far too low."

Before Sakura could speak, Yamanaka Ino spoke up for her friend; she probably guessed that Sakura was selling the medicinal herbs to supplement her family's income, since among her friends, it seemed that only Sakura had bought her house with a loan.

"Boss, we are medical ninjas. This herb definitely isn't that cheap. Please don't try to cheat us."

Uchiha Yoichi pushed the box back, shook his head and said, "Sir, if you think the price I offered is too low, you can ask elsewhere. However, you should know about the age of the medicine and the time it was unearthed. The price I offered is very fair."

"Feed"

"Ino, forget it."

Sakura quickly tugged at Yamanaka Ino. She had heard what Uchiha Yoichi said and already knew that the price was fair. The main problem was that she had forgotten to store the herbs properly, which had caused them to look a little bad.

After pulling Ino back, Sakura said to Uchiha Yoichi, "Thank you for your help. Let's go with this price."

"No problem, this is the receipt, and this is 300,000 taels. Just sign here."

After Uchiha Yoichi had Sakura sign the receipt, he handed her the money and then put the ginseng away.

"If you two have any more precious medicinal herbs, you can consider selling them to me; I'll accept even the best ones."

Upon hearing this, Sakura asked curiously, "Boss, are you a medical ninja? Or a pharmacist?"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "Not really, I just know how to make medicine."

"What kind of secret medicines do they sell here? May I take a look?"

"Of course, here are the types and prices of the secret medicines we sell."

Uchiha Yoichi took out a price list of secret medicines and handed it to Uchiha Sakura. It listed the first to third grade pills that he was preparing to sell, as well as improved soldier ration pills, etc.

Since you intend to master the art of alchemy, you can sell some of your practice pieces. However, only soldier ration pills and first-grade pills can be bought with money. Starting from third-grade pills, you will need to exchange them for precious medicinal herbs.

"This is...so expensive?"

Sakura and Ino were immediately shocked by the price after reading it. They looked up at each other in astonishment and asked Uchiha Yoichi, "Boss, did you make a mistake with this price? 300,000 ryo for a recovery pill? What kind of secret medicine can be so expensive?"

"That's right, you get what you pay for. The ginseng just now sold for 300,000, didn't it? Since it's a secret medicine, it naturally has the effects of a secret medicine. Besides, if I were lying, that much money would be enough for them to smash up my shop."

Uchiha Yang said that what they were asking about were the special soldier rations, which could restore a Jonin's full chakra in one or two minutes, so they were naturally worth the price.

Moreover, first-grade pills mostly cost five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, while second-grade pills start at over a million taels; however, the effects are very good, and third-grade pills can at least double a certain ability of a high-ranking ninja.

Moreover, it has no side effects and is completely different from the Akimichi family's three-color pills.

The Uchiha secret medicine is highly sought after in another timeline.

Sakura asked with a doubtful look, "Is this secret medicine really as miraculous as it's said? What if it doesn't work?"

"If it doesn't work, you can get double the price back."

Uchiha Yoichi said, "Besides, I don't expect to make money from this. I'm more interested in acquiring those precious medicinal herbs. Selling secret medicines is just a side thing, since most people rarely have access to my secret medicines."

Ino Yamanaka's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Boss, you're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve. You should know that Sakura is a medical genius."

"Ino, forget it!"

Sakura quickly grabbed Ino Yamanaka, and sighed inwardly, wondering why Ino had gotten into a fight with the pharmacy owner today.

"Excuse me, boss, we're not buying anything for now. Goodbye."

Sakura smiled shyly and said that, then pulled Ino outside.

After walking to the side for a while, Sakura rubbed her forehead and said, "Ino, why were you so agitated today?"

"Who's getting agitated? It's that boss who's too arrogant, and the price of that secret medicine is outrageous. Who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village can afford it?"

Ino Yamanaka snorted and then, after thinking for a moment, asked, "Sakura, what if I buy one, but it doesn't work as well as he said, and then I make this guy pay me back?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately poured cold water on the idea, saying, "What if the effect is exactly the same as what that boss said? Wouldn't you be swallowing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go?"

They have retired from front-line ninja duties, and since the five great ninja villages decided to replace war with negotiation, there have been very few A-rank and S-rank ninja missions, so ninja income has also decreased significantly.

Ino Yamanaka is doing well; she has a family business and her own flower shop. But Sakura is in a worse situation; she only receives a fixed salary and has to slowly pay off her mortgage.

Therefore, it's impossible for Sakura to make such an attempt.

"Moreover, that boss is definitely a highly skilled pharmacist. His description of the ginseng's age and the time it was unearthed is spot on. With such insight and knowledge, his pharmaceutical skills are definitely not low."

After Sakura finished speaking, there was still something she didn't say. She felt that this insight was almost on par with her master, Tsunade, after all, she had been learning from Tsunade for more than two years.

"Sakura, according to what you're saying, are all those secret medicines really effective? Like those medicines that double your speed, protect your meridians, and restore your stamina within a minute?"

Yamanaka Ino didn't finish her sentence because there were many other secret medicines with different functions, such as increasing strength several times over and healing injuries quickly, and they had no side effects. The effects were simply incredible.

Although the Akimichi clan also possesses secret medicines that can enhance one's strength dozens of times, consuming them almost always results in death; moreover, the three-colored secret medicine is extremely troublesome to produce, and at least Yamanaka Ino knows that the Akimichi clan does not possess many of these medicines.

"I don't know either, but it's so expensive, I definitely can't afford it on my own. I'll talk to Naruto about it tomorrow."

Sakura rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment, then continued, "If it's really that magical, we could use the village's name to buy some specifically for ninjas who undertake high-difficulty missions."

That's what she said, but Sakura was thinking about Uchiha Sasuke. If it really worked, she felt that Sasuke would be the one who needed it the most, since he was all alone out there with no one to help him.

"Hehehe, Sakura, you're thinking of buying this for Sasuke, aren't you?"

Ino Yamanaka chuckled and asked. She and Sakura had grown up together, how could she not know what Sakura was thinking?

"Ugh, Ino, let's go!"

In the pharmacy

Seeing that no one was coming, Uchiha Yang returned to the second floor.

"I remember there was a member of the Shell organization named Victor who secretly cultivated a divine tree. That divine tree should be of some value."

Uchiha Yoichi took out two storage scrolls, opened them, and unsealed them. After a burst of smoke, two bodies appeared in the room.

It was Kamui's clone and Tenseigan's clone.

However, the spirits of these two clones were taken back by Uchiha Yoichi, and they also had many seals on their bodies, so they are now like corpses.

Only in this way can the clone be put into the storage scroll and then placed in the storage ring.

"Spiritual Clone Technique!"

Uchiha Yoichi created two spiritual clones, which entered the Kamui clone and the Tenseigan clone. After several tens of seconds, the two clones opened their eyes at the same time, released the seals on their bodies, and stood up.

"I've only been sealing it for a short while and I already feel rusty. I can't seal it for long periods of time in the future."

Uchiha Yoichi sensed the two clones, then thought for a moment and gave the Potara earrings to one of them as well; his main body was hidden in Konoha and was not in any danger, but the clones were outside searching for information about the Kara organization and might run into Jigen.

Jigen is now able to unleash the full power of Isshiki. Although he must unseal it after unleashing its full power, it is still dangerous.

"Go find Victor from the Shell Organization. He should be thinking about cultivating the Divine Tree now. Help him as much as possible and guide him to the dragon vein in the Loulan region to cultivate the Divine Tree."

The two clones quickly left Konoha using Kamui eye techniques. That's how convenient space-time ninjutsu is; no matter how sealed Konoha's barrier is, it can't stop space-time abilities.

Victor's cultivation of the sacred tree shows a tendency to grow and blossom. Even if it produces a flawed fruit, it will still be of great value.

Moreover, with his guidance this time, it's possible that the Divine Tree will produce even better quality Chakra Fruits, which he can then use to try refining medicine.

"Upon closer reflection, this world actually has quite a few resources; perhaps it's possible."

Uchiha Yoichi smiled and then restarted the alchemy furnace, throwing in the ginseng he had just bought from Sakura. Under his powerful mental control, the ginseng was quickly refined into a small amount of powder by the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

Uchiha Yoichi then added the other medicinal herbs one by one and focused on refining the elixir.

Mount Myoki

Gamamaru suddenly woke up from his dream, and as he recalled the dream, he felt that something was strange.

"Why would there be such a prophecy? The ninja world is at peace, and Kaguya has disappeared. Is there some unknown enemy?"

In the dream he just had, Gamamaru saw himself being knocked deep underground by a powerful enemy, then severely injured by several Truth-Seeking Balls, and finally dissected on an experimental table.

At that time, none of the toads on Mount Myoboku escaped this disaster; they all died.

"Fukasaku, come here for a second."

Unable to come up with anything, the Great Toad Sage used the crystal ball to call upon Fukasaku.

Before long, the immortal Fukasaku arrived, hopping and skipping, and said, "What's wrong, sir? I'm training the next generation of immortals."

"Nothing much. What's been happening in the ninja world lately?"

"The Ninja World?" Fukasaku asked with a puzzled look, then said, "Nothing much, right? There haven't been any wars for years, and recently there's been one more contractor at Mount Myōboku."

The Great Toad Sage asked, "Oh, is there a new contractor? Is it Naruto Uzumaki's son?"

Fukasaku shook his head and said, "No, I remember it was Konohamaru from Konoha. I think he's Naruto's disciple. Is there something you need, sir?"

"Hmm"

The Great Toad Master pondered for a while, remaining silent for several minutes. Just when Fukasaku thought the Great Toad Master had fallen asleep again, it finally spoke.

"Fukasaku, please have that guy, Maru, come to Mount Myōboku sometime. I have something I want to ask him."

"It's Konohamaru, sir."

Fukasaku sighed and reminded the Great Toad Sage, then asked, "Master, if you have something to ask, why not just ask Naruto?"

"Oh, could you call Naruto?"

"I don't know, I'll have to go ask."

"Then I'll trouble you. Fukasaku, Naruto, or that other guy, whatever your name is, will do. I just want to ask about things in the ninja world."

Three Sakura images failed the review process in a row.
