Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 329 Hinata Fireworks

"Okay, I understand."

After listening to Naruto and Shikamaru's words, Sai left the Hokage's office.

Sai then went to the Anbu and issued the orders. Not long after, the Anbu ninjas brought back the information. After the five great ninja villages reached a negotiation meeting, the Anbu was stripped of most of its functions and is now only left with intelligence gathering.

Sai took the intelligence report and noticed that it only contained information about Uchiha Yoichi after he arrived in the village, not before. He then asked, "Isn't there any information about before?"

"The time was too short, and the person wasn't marked; we need to collect more information."

Sai asked, "Is Yoichi a ninja?"

"I can't be sure. I've never seen him use ninjutsu, but since he can make secret medicines that are useful to ninjas, he must be a ninja."

"Don't use phrases like 'should,' please investigate thoroughly. I'm asking the Hyuga clan ninjas for help."

Sai suddenly remembered someone and said, "I'll handle this. You all need to find out what happened to this person before he came to Konoha as soon as possible."

"clear."

The ninja from the Anbu spoke, and then left to investigate.

As for Sai, he went to get a box of money. Naruto and Shikamaru had just decided to buy some secret medicine, and he could ask a Hyuga clan ninja to go with him.

"Hanabi, I'm leaving this to you."

After finding Hinata Hanabi, Sai told her about the favor he needed to ask.

"No problem, no problem. It's just using my Byakugan to see if that person is a ninja. No problem."

Hinata Hanabi waved her hand dismissively, then asked, "But is the secret medicine sold at that pharmacy really that good that it would make you go out of your way?"

"Judging from Sakura's assessment, it should have the same effect as described, which is quite rare in the entire ninja world."

After answering, Sai continued, "It's precisely because the secret medicine is so effective that we're being cautious."

Hyuga Hanabi nodded and said, "Sakura Jonin's judgment should be correct. In that case, I'd also like to buy some, just in case something unexpected happens in the future."

"His secret medicine isn't cheap," Sai said, then suddenly stopped. He realized that the person in front of him was the heir of the Hyuga family, and that amount of money was nothing to Hyuga Hanabi, so he didn't continue.

"Let's go, Naruto just decided to buy some secret medicine, you can buy some too if you want."

"Okay, let's go!"

After discussing it, the two headed towards Yang Yi's pharmacy and soon arrived there.

However, outside the door, Hyuga Hanabi suddenly called out to Sai, saying, "Wait a minute, let me use my Byakugan to see what he's doing, and also to see if the owner of this pharmacy is using chakra."

Although chakra is produced through refining, if you use chakra for a long time, you will have some chakra in your body to some extent. This is an instinct that you develop over the years and refine at all times.

"Eye roll!"

Hinata Hanabi's facial veins bulged, activating her X-ray vision ability, allowing her to immediately see the situation inside the pharmacy.

A furnace, golden flames, and Uchiha Yoichi manipulating the flames—all these elements are used to refine the essence of medicinal herbs.

"This guy is using fire to refine medicine, he must be a ninja. Wait, he doesn't have chakra, so how does he come into contact with flames?"

When Hyuga Hanabi saw what was happening in the room on the second floor, surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face. However, just as she was about to make a judgment, she suddenly noticed that there was no chakra flowing in Uchiha Yoichi's body.

Sai quickly asked, "Hanabi, what exactly happened?"

Hinata Hanabi explained, "Yes, he's starting a fire with his bare hands and refining medicine with a black jar-like thing, but there's no chakra flowing through his body, not even a little bit."

"No chakra flow? Hanabi, could it be that he used some kind of secret technique to block it?"

"Impossible, I can see his internal organs clearly, even his hair, chest, and..."

As Hinata Hanabi finished speaking, her face suddenly flushed slightly, and she widened her Byakugan eyes. She then quickly shook her head and stopped using her Byakugan ability.

Why is there a giant dragon?!

"What's wrong?"

Hyuga Hanabi quickly said, "No, it's nothing. Anyway, my Byakugan can't be wrong. There really is no chakra flowing in his body. As for creating flames with his hands, it must be some kind of secret technique."

"A secret technique that doesn't use chakra? That's the first time I've heard of such a thing. Oh well, I'll go buy some secret medicine first."

After saying that, Sai led Hanabi into Yoichi Pharmacy.

Upon entering the store, a jingling sound was heard, but it took about five minutes before someone came down from upstairs.

Upon seeing the strikingly handsome Uchiha Yoichi, Sai's expression remained unchanged, but Hyuga Hanabi's eyes lit up slightly, and then she recalled the giant dragon she had just seen.

"Why is it so big? It's completely different from the illustrations in the novel."

"Two guests, are you looking to sell medicinal herbs or purchase a secret remedy?"

Uchiha Yoichi spoke after coming down from the second floor. Although the two faces looked somewhat familiar, he didn't show it.

Sai took out a box containing money and placed it on the cabinet, saying, "To purchase the secret medicine, I would like to see the list of secret medicines first."

"That's it, but you can only buy level one and level two secret medicines with money."

After giving out the list of secret medicines, Uchiha Yoichi waited on the side.

After obtaining the list of secret medicines, Sai flipped through its contents. The list only had a few pages, and there weren't many first- or second-level secret medicines, totaling less than twenty.

However, each of these secret medicines is exceptionally effective. Apart from some family-inherited secret medicines of certain ninja clans, no other medicine in the ninja world can compare to them.

The price is very high; the cheapest one costs at least 300,000 taels.

After looking at it for a while, Sai closed the list of secret medicines and said to Uchiha Yoichi, "Then I'll take ten recovery pills, ten power-up pills, and ten injury-healing pills."

Hinata Hanabi, who was standing nearby, also spoke up, "I need the same amount as him."

Uchiha Yoichi said, "It's a total of 16 million ryo, so 32 million ryo for two people. Are you going together?"

Sai shook his head and said, "No, we are separate."

After Uchiha Yang took out the pills the two wanted, he placed them on the table. Sai glanced at them and readily paid.

However, when it was Hyuga Hanabi's turn, she smiled and said to Uchiha Yoichi, "Boss, could you have someone send you the money after I get back?"

However, Uchiha Yoichi used his arm to retract half of the pill and said expressionlessly, "No credit allowed."

"you"

Hinata Hanabi's lips twitched, inwardly complaining, before turning to Sai and saying, "Sai, could you pass on a message to my family?"

"Okay, I understand."

After Sai finished speaking, seeing that Hinata Hanabi showed no intention of leaving, he turned and left with the pills.

After Sai left, only she and Uchiha Yoichi remained in the pharmacy. Hyuga Hanabi casually leaned against the counter and asked, "Boss, did you personally concoct all these secret medicines?"

"Um."

"Wow, that's amazing! Are you a pharmacist?"

"Um."

"Hey, what kind of precious medicinal herbs can be exchanged for a higher-level secret medicine?"

"If you have a larger quantity of these, you can exchange them for level three or level four secret medicines."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he took out a ginseng that was over two hundred years old and a natural stone the size of half a fist; Hyuga Hanabi also came from a large family and was quite knowledgeable.

She didn't recognize the natural stone, but she quickly guessed the value of the ginseng next to it.

This is something you can't buy even if you have money. Maybe some of the big pharmaceutical companies in the ninja world have it, but the Hyuga clan definitely doesn't.

Hinata Hanabi sighed inwardly. She wanted to buy some higher-level secret medicines, but it seemed too difficult to buy them now.

"Boss, is this all you have to offer in exchange for your secret medicine?"

"No, that doesn't count. Other valuable and rare items would also be acceptable. If you're unsure about anything, you can bring it over for me to see."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yoichi said, "This world is twenty years ahead of my time, so we might discover some things that we don't have in my world."

Unable to contain her curiosity, Hinata Hanabi couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what exactly do you do?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Uchiha Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you know about Onmyoji?"

--------------

"Victor!"

The space inside the room distorted, and then a masked person appeared in front of Victor, casually sitting down in front of him.

Victor, however, was extremely nervous. As a ninja himself, and proficient in several types of ninjutsu, he could easily tell that the masked man was using space-time ninjutsu. He secretly gathered his chakra and asked warily, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you. I'll benefit from helping you too; this cooperation will bring us both a win-win situation."

Kamui's clone casually sat on the sofa in Victor's room, then continued, "Do you already know about the Divine Tree?"

Victor was shocked to hear this. This was something only the inner circle members knew. How could it have been leaked?

"you"

"Looks like you know. Then why don't you cultivate a divine tree yourself?"

The avatar of Kamui spoke up, "Who would share their power? Even I wouldn't want to part with the power I've gained. The Divine Tree is now completely in the hands of your organization's leader. By the time the outcome is decided, you'll be lucky to even be alive."

It's better to cultivate your own sacred tree than to place your hopes on a vague and unrealistic promise.

These words caused Victor's expression to change several times. He was shocked that the Kamui clone knew so much information, and he was also struck a chord with these words.

Among the traitors within the Shell organization, Victor and Kashin Koji are tied for first place. One wants to steal the fruit of the Divine Tree to achieve immortality, while the other wants to kill Jigen.

The appearance of the Divine Might clone has given Victor another path, and he does indeed have this idea, having also gathered some information about the Divine Tree.

Victor's expression shifted for a moment, then he stared at the Kamui clone and demanded, "What can you give me?"
