Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 50 Little Blue Pill Appears

"Kakashi, you don't need to worry about this. The First Hokage established the village to protect the future, not for you to think about politics."

When Sakumo Hatake saw that Kakashi, who was only six or seven years old, was already considering his future, he didn't know whether to be happy or amused.

If the atmosphere in the village has become so conducive to children as young as six or seven thinking about politics, then that would be a complete failure.

"Everyone in the village is a companion. You can associate with whomever you want. You don't need to worry about your father. If you consider Uchiha Yoichi a close friend, then just treat him the way you want."

"Don't overthink it, Kakashi. I might be gone for a while on this mission, but I'll give you the money."

Halfway through his speech, Hatake Sakumo suddenly remembered that Kakashi was much richer than him now. He had only done two missions and had already earned more than 30 million ryo, all of which were earned during the missions. No one else could say anything about it.

The money was still in Kakashi's hands. The reason why Sakumo Hatake didn't take it back was because he believed that Kakashi could break the three prohibitions of ninja.

"I will take good care of myself, don't worry, Father."

Kakashi didn't say anything about the mission going smoothly, because in his memory, his father had never failed a mission, and this time was no exception.

After Sakumo Hatake left, Kakashi tidied up and prepared to go find Yoichi Uchiha.

The village now has a limit on the number of people in mission teams. Although he is a bit young, he is still a Chunin. Now that there are no mission teams, he can't even get C-rank missions. D-rank missions are only good for making his resume look better, but they are really useless to Kakashi.

Kakashi joined a mission squad after returning, but he left after completing one mission.

The reason is that their working styles are somewhat different, and the new team's teammates are not very friendly to Kakashi, this young genius.

Compared to their twelve or thirteen-year-old genin, the presence of a six-year-old chunin in the team made them seem exceptionally useless; moreover, they didn't want to listen to Kakashi, but they had no choice but to due to their ninja ranks, so such a team atmosphere naturally couldn't last long.

Most importantly, Uchiha Yoichi didn't treat him like a child, which made Kakashi feel that teaming up with Uchiha Yoichi was much better than teaming up with other mission teams in the village.

"Jonin Ikemoto, are these the three medicines I requested?"

When Uchiha Yoichi entered Ikemoto's office, he saw three small pills on the table.

"Yang Yisang, these are the pills. These two are health supplements, and this one is the health pill you mentioned."

Ikemoto thought back to the name and felt it sounded strange, but since it wasn't a name he had chosen, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Because of the significant cost reduction, these two health supplements require a long period of consumption to be effective. As for this one, well, it basically takes effect within ten minutes of taking it."

At the end, a strange smile appeared on Ikemoto's face, as if he had already used it.

Uchiha Yoichi picked up the medicine next to him and examined it carefully. It listed the ingredients, the manufacturing process, and the cost of the medicine.

According to the list of ingredients recorded by Ikemoto, the cost of the first two health supplements was only thirty taels, because each pill weighed only four grams, a small amount, less than the price of a bowl of ramen.

The last medicine is more expensive, costing about ninety taels per pill.

However, it's already very cheap. Large-scale purchasing can save a lot of money; moreover, the cost of health supplements is less than half a bowl of ramen.

At that time, the price of health supplements and medicines will increase fivefold, to 150 taels per pill, and the price of health pills will increase fourfold, rounding up to 400 taels per pill.

It might be a bit pricey for ordinary people, but this thing was originally targeted at wealthy people.

There's also a budget version for ordinary people: the cost of health supplements is reduced to ten taels per pill, and then sold for thirty taels per pill, which is the price of half a bowl of ramen. You can afford it, and if you eat it every day, it will have some health benefits.

Uchiha Yoichi quickly thought about the prices of the medicines from the Uchiha Health Pharmaceutical Company, but there was still a problem: how to sell the medicines.

"Jonin Ikemoto, I'm very satisfied with these three medicines. Here's your reward, please keep it safe."

After taking the reward out of the sealed scroll, Uchiha Yoichi pushed the money box over.

As for warning Ikemoto not to reveal the prescription, Uchiha Yang didn't mention it at all. Unless someone has lost their mind, why would an ordinary ninja offend the Uchiha clan?

As for whether others will copy it? Apart from those major ninja villages, Uchiha Yoichi is not afraid of them copying it.

The initial purpose of establishing the pharmaceutical business, besides making money for himself, was to create a welfare system for the Uchiha clan; if anyone were to try to sabotage this, without Uchiha Yangyi saying anything, the Uchiha clan members who would benefit from it would take the initiative to eliminate that person.

"Thank you, Yang Yi-san. You can come to me again if you need anything in the future."

After putting away the money box, Ikemoto smiled and said to Uchiha Yoichi that he was not a money-loving person, but he could make a lot of money in his spare time to improve his family's life. What was wrong with that?

"There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Jonin Ikemoto, does Tsunade have a good reputation among ordinary people?"

"Lady Tsunade?"

Jonin Ikemoto paused for a moment after hearing this, then replied, "I'm not so sure about ordinary people, but many nobles in the Land of Fire often send people to see Lady Tsunade. Some incurable diseases are guaranteed to be cured by Lady Tsunade."

"It's just that in recent years, Lady Tsunade doesn't seem to be performing surgeries much anymore, although she occasionally treats some nobles and merchants."

Uchiha Yang nodded to indicate that he understood. The ordinary people he was referring to were the nobles and wealthy people. It seems that Tsunade, the medical expert, has quite a reputation among the nobles and merchants in the Land of Fire.

Jonin Ikemoto added, "By the way, Lady Tsunade also treated a nobleman who came all the way from the Land of Hot Water today. He should still be in the hospital. It seems that Lady Tsunade has been seeing more patients lately. I wonder if I'll be able to see Lady Tsunade perform surgery. I could learn a lot of useful medical knowledge by following her around."

"Is that so? Thank you for letting me know, Jonin Ikemoto."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi took the medicine information and left, heading towards the top floor of Konoha Hospital according to the location Ikemoto had indicated.

After arriving at Tsunade's usual office, Uchiha Yoichi knocked on the door. At first, there was no response, but after he knocked harder, a sound like someone suddenly waking up came from inside.

"Who is it? Come in!"
