Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 366 A Gift for Ino

Four hundred million taels, plus ten level-two secret medicines, ten level-three secret medicines, and three level-four secret medicines.

This is the price that Uchiha Yoichi agreed to pay after negotiations, and the monster's corpse and the glowing sphere are now his.

The price was similar to that of the storage rings traded in Konoha. Although the beast's corpse seemed worthless, the Iwa ninja still wanted to recoup some of their investment.

The Iwa ninja have been studying this beast's corpse for over ten days, but the danger of studying it is quite high. A slight mistake could lead to poisoning, which is one of the reasons why Kurotsuchi wants to get rid of it quickly.

Aside from a few people with a strong sense of morbid curiosity, probably no one would like the carcass of such a poisonous beast.

As for that ball of light, the Iwa ninja were helpless. If it weren't for Onoki's advanced age and the fear that he might not be able to control Dust Release, Kurotsuchi would have asked Onoki to use Dust Release to open a gap in the glowing ball of light.

There was another strange beast, but Kurotsuchi didn't take Uchiha Yoichi to see it. When Uchiha Yoichi asked, she made excuses about finding something else. Seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi knew that the other strange beast might be different from this one, and the Iwa ninja should be able to study a lot of good things from that beast.

It has now been seventy-seven years since Konoha was founded. The technological level of the five great ninja villages is very high, especially in the military field. Although Iwagakure is not particularly prominent, it is not difficult for them to produce artificial humans for combat if they put their efforts into it.

Under the watchful eyes of Kurotsuchi and the other ninjas, Uchiha Yoichi used his storage ring to collect the monster's corpse and the glowing sphere before preparing to leave.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Yoichi intended to leave, Kurotsuchi immediately advised, "Lord Yoichi, there are still many places in Iwagakure that you haven't been to yet. In some ways, it's no less impressive than Konoha. Why don't you stay here a little longer?"

Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "No need, Tsuchikage. I trust my judgment. Besides, there are more high-quality women in Konoha than in Iwagakure. At this age, I also want to find a partner. As for Iwagakure, there's only Tsuchikage here, so let's forget about it."

Upon hearing this, the Iwa ninja beside Kurotsuchi assumed that Uchiha Yoichi was harassing their Tsuchikage, and immediately retorted angrily, "Hey, you!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kurotsuchi waved her hand to block the Iwa ninja who had just opened his mouth, then smiled and said to Uchiha Yoichi, "If Lord Yoichi is sincere, I can consider giving him another chance."

"Oh"

Uchiha Yoichi chuckled upon hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind, if there's nothing else, I'll head back tomorrow, Tsuchikage."

Give him a chance? Who is Uchiha Yoichi?

He had already tasted the Sand Princess and the Konoha Cosmos, and there were still quite a few unexplored ladies in Konoha. Kurotsuchi was also good, but most of her points were concentrated on her legs, so she wasn't worth Uchiha Yoichi's time to spare.

In other words, it wasn't worth it. He would rather spend his time on Haruno Sakura, at least that lady's beauty and charm were top-notch.

Besides, he's always the one hooking up with other women, when did it become the woman hooking up with him?

Uchiha Yoichi left immediately, ignoring even Kurotsuchi's attempts to persuade him to stay.

"Yang Yi-kun, wait a moment."

After walking for a while, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly heard a familiar voice. Turning around, he saw pink hair. Although he had already noticed Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Yoichi still pretended to be surprised: "Sakura, why are you coming from behind? Were you there just now?"

"I was here yesterday. No one is better at dealing with poison than me, so I was asked by Iwagakure to help. But Yoichi, that ring you were looking for, isn't it the one the village traded to you last time?"

Haruno Sakura glanced at the ring on Uchiha Yoichi's hand and then tentatively asked.

Uchiha Yoichi demonstrated it and said, "That's right. When your mental strength is high enough, you can discover the use of this ring and put things in and out at will."

He still had many good items in his own storage ring, but he couldn't put the corpse of the alien beast into it to contaminate it, so he could only use that empty ring.

"Hmm, that seems pretty amazing. But Yoichi, what did the Fourth Tsuchikage say to you just now?"

Sakura Haruno glanced at the storage ring, then turned her attention to something else. While the ability to freely access items was nice, ninjas also had storage scrolls and Six Paths artifacts that could hold many items, so the storage ring wasn't important to her.

"They probably wanted me to stay in Iwagakure, but I refused using marriage as an excuse. However, the Tsuchikage is willing to give me a chance. Well, I'll go back to Konoha tomorrow. If I don't go back soon, the other ninja villages will probably come looking for me. That would be troublesome."

Uchiha Yoichi said to Haruno Sakura, "Sakura, after I leave, if anyone comes looking for me, please tell them to come to Konoha to find me."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Sakura Haruno was taken aback, but quickly agreed after realizing what she meant.

Hearing that Uchiha Yoichi had no intention of leaving Konoha, Haruno Sakura felt a little relieved. It was good that he wouldn't join another ninja village for the time being. If an Onmyoji who was good at making secret medicines and had various undeveloped abilities joined another ninja village, it would definitely be a loss for Konoha.

"But is the reason this guy isn't leaving Konoha because of Ino?"

Sakura Haruno suddenly remembered this possibility, and then strange dreams she used to have often surfaced in her mind: strong, powerful waist thrusts, Yamanaka Ino screaming, and the most primal fusion. Once, it was even right next to her.

"No, no, this is a dream, just a dream."

Sakura Haruno blushed slightly and quickly shook her head to banish the image from her mind. During the time she was having that dream, she would get up every morning to wash her underwear; she was really fed up with it.

Konoha Village

Uchiha Yoichi returned quickly. He left swiftly and as he had predicted, not long after he left, several other ninja villages sent people to look for him, but Sakura relayed the message for him.

If you want to buy the secret medicine, come to Konoha and find him.

Not long after returning, Uchiha Yoichi went to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, as he sensed that Yamanaka Ino happened to be there that day.

After taking the gifts, Uchiha Yoichi headed towards the mountain flower shop and soon arrived there.

Inside the flower shop, a well-proportioned blonde woman was arranging flower branches, but compared to the brightly blooming flowers next to her, the lush and vibrant cosmos flowers were more eye-catching.

"Boss, I'd like to buy a large cosmos flower!"

"Regular Cosmos. Yang Yi."

Yamanaka Ino turned around and saw Uchiha Yoichi. Although her tone was full of reproach, she felt a joy at the long-awaited reunion.

"I'm not wrong. Of all these flowers, my favorite is the cosmos. It has its own unique personality and can be called the most beautiful flower in Konoha."

As Uchiha Yoichi spoke, he took out a gift he had casually bought from Iwagakure and placed it on the table, continuing, "This is a gift from Iwagakure. Although it's just a stone carving, I feel that this miniature vase would suit you very well, Mrs. Ino."

"I really like it."

Yamanaka Ino blushed with the shyness one only sees in the throes of new love. She took the stone vase and clutched it in her hand as if it were a priceless treasure. "Yoichi-kun, you..."

"Mom, I'm home."

Just as Yamanaka Ino was about to say something, Yamanaka Inojin's voice suddenly came from outside, and he quickly came in.

Upon entering, Yamanaka Inojin quickly noticed Uchiha Yoichi and exclaimed in surprise, "You, what are you doing here?"

Uchiha Yoichi said with a smile, "I'll keep an eye on you for a bit, Inojin-kun. You don't need to take too many of the recovery pills I gave you last time. One pill at a time is enough."

"There wasn't just one."

Before Yamanaka Inojin could finish speaking, he saw another medicine bottle appear in front of him and placed in his hand.

"There are five pills inside. They can be stored for a long time. Consider this a second gift for our meeting, Inojin-kun."

After Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he looked at Yamanaka Ino and said, "I'm going back now, Ino."

"Take care, Yang Yi."

With her son beside her, Yamanaka Ino had no choice but to suppress the love in her heart.

However, after Uchiha Yoichi left, Yamanaka Ino immediately stopped Yamanaka Inojin, who was about to leave, and asked with a cold expression, "Explain yourself, Inojin. When did you go to see Yoichi, and what was your purpose in doing so?"

"Mom, let me explain."

Yamanaka Inojin swallowed hard, but he was trapped in the corner of the flower shop and couldn't escape.

In the end, he could only honestly tell the story of what happened last time, including Nara Shikadai's idea.

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino sighed inwardly. She realized that she had somewhat overlooked Inojin's thoughts. Her impulsive question had made Inojin so uneasy.

However, if last time it was impulsive, today's Yamanaka Ino was after careful consideration. She had been reflecting on it repeatedly these past two days, even questioning her own heart late at night, and finally confirmed that her relationship with Sai had come to an end.

Yamanaka Ino patted Inojin's head and said, "Inojin, don't worry about adult matters. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Mom, what about this one?"

Although Yamanaka Inojin still wanted to know, he knew he wouldn't get the answer today, so he asked about the medicine bottle he had just received.

Yamanaka Ino glanced at it and said, "Since it's a gift for you, then you should keep it. This is a recovery pill, a secret medicine that only he can refine. One pill costs at least several hundred thousand taels."

"Hundreds of thousands of taels per grain?"

Yamanaka Inojin swallowed hard, then carefully put the medicine bottle into his pocket, intending to put it in another box for safekeeping when he got back. This was the most precious gift he had ever received.

the other side

After leaving the flower shop in the mountains, Uchiha Yoichi ran into another acquaintance on his way back and took the initiative to approach him.

As they passed each other, Uchiha Yangyi spoke softly, "Temari, remember what I told you about asking for leave? I'll be waiting for you outside Konoha the day after tomorrow."

Please vote for me with monthly tickets!

By the way, I'm going on vacation, so my daily updates might be irregular, and the third update this month might be a few days late. I'll write it when I get back.
