Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 46 Agreeing to the Commission

"Tsunade is looking for you?"

"Yes, she discovered the special nature of my chakra and wanted me to live in the Senju clan's territory, but I didn't agree. Living here is quite nice."

After finishing speaking, Mina Uzumaki secretly glanced at Yoichi Uchiha.

This morning, Tsunade told me that she likes Yoichi. Hahaha, how could that be? She's two or three years older than Yoichi, and she's probably just grateful to him for rescuing her from the Kusagakure village!

Although that's what she was thinking, when Mina Uzumaki peeked at Uchiha Yoichi, she noticed his perfectly streamlined muscles and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"If Yoichi didn't wear clothes, his abs would probably look even better, right?"

"Mina?"

A hand suddenly landed on Mina's shoulder, startling her so much that she immediately replied, "Yes! Yoichi, what's wrong?"

Uchiha Yoichi glanced at her and said, "I called you a few times but you didn't respond. We should leave now; it's almost time for our appointment with Dr. Ikemoto."

"I see."

Mina Uzumaki nodded quickly, and then, as Yoichi Uchiha turned to leave, she patted her face with both hands; how could she think of such a thing, it was so shameful!

When Uchiha Yoichi and Uzumaki Mina arrived, Ikemoto also happened to be there. The three greeted each other and then went inside.

Uchiha Yoichi desperately wanted to recruit Ikemoto into the Uchiha clan, as there was always a risk of leakage when entrusting others to develop drugs; however, he did not currently have that status, and it was also difficult for the Uchiha clan to attract outsiders to join unless he became the clan leader.

After the sake and side dishes were served, the two exchanged pleasantries before Ikemoto finally asked, "Yoichi-san, is there something you need from me?"

"Yes, I've heard that Mr. Ikemoto is exceptionally skilled in drug preparation, so I'd like to privately commission you to prepare some medicines for me."

"poison?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Ikemoto instinctively thought of poison. Konoha ninjas rarely used poison in battle because there weren't many poison makers, but some ninjas did coat their ninja tools with poison because it was very efficient at killing enemies.

"It's not poison, it's a tonic for ordinary people. The effect doesn't need to be too great, just effective with long-term use. As for cost, the lower the better."

Uchiha Yangyi briefly explained his requirements: to develop three types of medicine, two of which were health supplements with different effects, and the last one was a medicine to restore male virility.

Upon hearing the last part, Mina Uzumaki lowered her head, her face flushed. She finally understood why Yoichi had asked her to sit at another table while she hadn't gone yet; it turned out he was planning to discuss this kind of thing.

"This kind of medicine, I haven't researched it before, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Yang Yi, what's the purpose of making this kind of medicine?"

Ikemoto stroked his chin and asked, "These medicines aren't poisons and don't cause any harm, so there's no need to report them to the village. I'm only asking out of curiosity."

"The clan needs this, but the Uchiha clan doesn't have any talent in this area, which is why we sought out Jonin Ikemoto."

Uchiha Yang said half-jokingly, then continued with a slightly more serious expression, "Ikemoto-san, I wonder if you would be willing to accept this commission? I am willing to pay the reward as if it were an S-rank mission."

Is that so?

When Ikemoto heard about the reward for the S-rank mission, he was indeed tempted. The main thing was that the mission was not difficult for him and did not violate any rules.

"Kid, how about I help you?"

Just as Ikemoto was about to agree, a voice suddenly came from behind Uchiha Yoichi. When he turned around, he immediately saw that eye-catching, heavy, snow-white...

Tsunade, holding a bottle of sake and with a slightly flushed face, sat down opposite Uchiha Yoichi in a very familiar manner.

Upon seeing Tsunade, Mina Uzumaki asked in surprise, "Lady Tsunade, what brings you here?"

"What do you mean 'why am I here'? I come here almost every day for a couple of drinks. Drinking at home means I have to clean up after myself, it's such a hassle."

As Tsunade was talking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have mentioned that she didn't do housework, so she quickly changed the subject.

"How about it, kid? I can research and make all of what you've mentioned. All you need to do is have Mina follow me around."

"."

When Uchiha Yoichi first heard the suggestion, he was somewhat tempted, after all, the person who said it was Tsunade, the number one medical expert in the ninja world; however, after careful consideration, Uchiha Yoichi still did not want to agree.

This isn't about researching cancer-specific drugs; it's just about health supplements and aphrodisiacs. Letting her do the research is like using a cannon to kill a fly. Jonin Ikemoto is enough.

"No need, Lady Tsunade. Mina has her own choice, and I am currently talking with Jonin Ikemoto. Unless he disagrees, I will not abandon him to come find you."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Jonin Ikemoto felt a warmth in his heart. Although he had no intention of competing with Lady Tsunade, he couldn't help but feel happy to hear that Uchiha Yoichi valued his existence so much.

"I didn't ignore Ikemoto's intentions. Fine, fine, if you don't want to, that's fine too. But if you ever encounter any problems with medical ninjutsu, you can ask me, as long as I'm at the hospital."

When Tsunade saw that Mina was not interested at all, she completely gave up on the idea. She had only decided to take Mina on as a disciple because she saw that Mina's talent was too suitable for medical ninjutsu and that she was from the Uzumaki clan.

"You two talk."

After saying that, Tsunade picked up the bottle and went back to her table.

Since developing a fear of blood, she has stopped undergoing surgery and even stopped doing missions. When she has money, she goes out drinking and gambling, completely losing the idea of ​​being a ninja.

Tsunade tricked Mina into becoming her disciple so that she could train the next "medical master" for Konoha, allowing Mina to leave Konoha without any worries and travel the ninja world.

"Jonin Ikemoto, let's get back to what we were talking about earlier. What do you think of my suggestion?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's question, Ikemoto thought for a moment before replying, "It's not difficult. I should be able to figure it out in my spare time. Yoichi-san, I accept this task."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "Thank you, Jonin Ikemoto."

Afterwards, the two discussed some details. To ensure consistency, Uchiha Yoichi also signed a contract with Jonin Ikemoto, so that even if one side made a mistake later, the contract would still be in effect.

It may not be legally binding, but it at least provides a reasonable ground for retaliation.

For the three types of medicine, Uchiha Yoichi spent another three million ryo. This wasn't just for one type of medicine; if he wasn't satisfied later, Uchiha Yoichi could freely ask Jonin Ikemoto to research and modify it.

The millions or tens of millions of taels of silver that Uchiha Yoichi had previously earned made him feel that he could never spend such a large sum of money in half a lifetime; however, when he actually started to spend it, he probably wouldn't even last a few months.

On the way back, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered: "I remember Elder Kenji saying that the Shimura family still has businesses outside, so they should have a lot of goods and money. We can sell the medicine we seized from the Shimura family last time, but we have to give half to the security team."
