Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 155: Xingxing's Little Plan

"Oh! This is Akong, the ascetic monk of the Fire Temple. Because of some things, he is now temporarily our companion."

Uzumaki Naruto introduced the boy with fierce eyes standing aside.

"Who is she?"

Akong looked up and down at the ordinary-looking woman in front of him.

"This is Sister Yuori, the owner of the shopping mall we passed by when we came to the Hokage Building just now, also..."

Uzumaki Naruto was about to introduce Uchiha Hoshi when he was interrupted by Uchiha Hoshi.

"Is the one coming out your leading jonin? I thought it was Kakashi."

Uchiha Star pointed at Yamato who had just come out and asked Uzumaki Naruto.

"Well, because Kakashi-sensei is not in good health and cannot lead us for the time being, we asked Yamato Jonin to lead us."

Uzumaki Naruto said a little helplessly.

"Huh? Why, you're not happy that I'm your team leader?"

Yamato came over at this time and said jokingly.

"No, no~"

Uzumaki Naruto hurriedly made an excuse.

The Uchiha Star didn't bother them and walked towards the Hokage's office and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Listening to the sound coming from inside, Uchiha Xing pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello~"

Uchiha Star came in and greeted Tsunade.

"Haori-hoshi?"

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then she spoke: "What do you want from me?"

"Well, I want to borrow some lab rats."

Uchiha Xing told the reason why he came here.

"Lab rat? What do you want with this?"

Tsunade frowned slightly and looked at Uchiha Xing.

"It's all because of Kono-na."

Uchiha Xing said this, and couldn't help showing an expression of headache.

"Some time ago, wasn't the Kazekage attacked by the Akatsuki organization? If the other party didn't have a secret technique, perhaps the Hidden Sand Village would have had the fifth Kazekage now. After Kozhina knew about this, she was always worried about whether Naruto would also... So Kozhina kept pestering me during that time, asking me to help make some extremely strong first aid medicines."

Uchiha Xing said as he rubbed his temple.

Although Uzumaki Kushina knew that a person could remain in the world after death as long as they had a very strong obsession, they would eventually die.

Uzumaki Kushina hopes that Uzumaki Naruto is alive, truly alive.

"A very effective first aid medicine."

Tsunade's eyes flickered slightly, she folded her hands and supported her chin, looking at Uchiha Xing with a scrutinizing look.

"Ah."

Uchiha Star nodded.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Xing with an extremely serious look.

"The preliminary medicine has been debugged almost completely. What remains is a lot of experiments and improvements to the medicine."

Uchiha Xing thought about the results of his previous experiments and couldn't help but tell about his progress.

"What is the estimated efficacy of the drug?"

Tsunade continued to ask.

"Why, do I need to report this too?"

Uchiha Star tilted his head and looked at Tsunade.

"Well, it's about medicine after all, so we need to check it out carefully."

Tsunade said with a slight nod.

Uchiha Xing looked at Tsunade for a long time, then chuckled and said, "It is a potion that stimulates the body's functions. When a person is dying, all body functions will begin to slow down. That potion will stimulate the body's functions, thereby increasing the success rate of treatment and prolonging the treatment time."

"However, the medicine still needs to be improved. I have used it on mice before, and its functions have indeed become much more active. But at the same time, due to the abnormally active body functions, the blood in the body cannot be controlled for a while and is lost quickly. In just a few minutes, the mouse died from blood loss."

Uchiha Xing said this, stroking his chin and starting to think.

"It's probably because the potency of the drug is too high. We need to revise the dosage and balance of the drug."

Listening to what Uchiha Xing said, Tsunade couldn't help but feel moved.

As a medical ninja, she knew better than anyone the importance of the potion mentioned by Uchiha Xing. Once this potion was promoted, many seriously injured patients on the battlefield would have a glimmer of hope.

Tsunade's thumb kept stroking her knuckles, and she lowered her eyes to think about how to negotiate the potion transaction with Uchiha Xing.

Uchiha Xing, who had been talking the whole time, seemed to have just remembered and told him everything about the potion.

A trace of regret flashed across Uchiha Xing's face. He looked at Tsunade casually, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you pretend you didn't hear what I just said?"

Tsunade smiled brightly at the Uchiha Star.

"No."

"Tsk."

Uchiha Xing couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

"Haorixing, are you short of medicinal herbs?"

Tsunade asked, looking at the Uchiha Star.

“Not for the time being.”

Uchiha Xing said with his eyes slightly lowered.

The fish is hooked.

"Let me put it this way. I'm very interested in the potion in my hand, so I want to make a deal with you."

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Star and asked seriously.

"No~"

Uchiha Xing thought seriously.

"We have a special place to cultivate medicinal herbs, so we are not short of them. As for ninjutsu, we are already used to our own way of fighting, so we don't need it. The territory, personnel and so on are not something you can allow alone."

Uchiha Xing thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he was missing.

"Ah! I never expected it, I never expected it, except that I like money, I have everything else."

Uchiha Xing said this in great distress, then he glanced around and seemed to see something, and walked towards the window.

"Have it!"

Uchiha Xing turned happily and looked at Tsunade who stood up.

"Hey~ No one is using Tsunade's abandoned warehouse, right?"

Uchiha Xing looked at Tsunade with bright eyes.

"It's no use. Wait, you don't want that warehouse!"

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Xing in surprise.

"Well, that warehouse must be able to store a lot of things. Before, every time we replenished the stock, we had to travel a long way, which was a waste of resources."

"Wasting resources is equal to wasting money!"

"If there is enough storage space, then the resource issue can be easily solved, and a lot of transportation time can be saved~"

"If I save all that, I'll make a ton of money!"

Uchiha Xing smiled extremely happily, as if he was thinking about the endless flow of money into his pocket in the future.

Forehead. . . . . .

Looking at Uchiha Xing who looked like a money-grubber, Tsunade fell silent.

"I say, do you know how important the potion in your hand is?"

Tsunade clenched her fists angrily.

"I know. The most I can do is give you the secret recipe. I'm not asking you to buy it out. If that's the case, why don't I exchange it for something useful to me?"

Uchiha Xing's question made Tsunade stunned for a moment.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked at Uchiha Xing carefully and said, "Are you sure there are only those warehouses?"

"Ah."

Uchiha Star nodded.

"I see."

Tsunade sat back on the chair, looked at Uchiha Xing and said, "I will give you the warehouse, and I will also give you the lab mice you want. At the same time, I will give you a laboratory. However, I will also send you two ninjas to be your assistants so that you can better prepare the potion."

"Got it, let's hurry up then."

Uchiha Xing said, standing aside waiting for Tsunade's arrangements.

Given Tsunade's personality, she would most likely choose the person she trusts and is most familiar with.

Then the person called to be my assistant is most likely Sakura, and as for the other one, it is most likely Shizune.

However, considering Shizune's status as the Hokage's secretary, Tsunade will definitely have some concerns, so the final candidate will most likely be recommended by Sakura. In that case, Yamanaka Ino will definitely join this temporary team.

The corners of Uchiha Xing's mouth curled up slightly.

Ah la, ah la ~ Xiaohongjiang ~ thank me.

But then again, Kakuzu has become my financial advisor, so logically Asuma shouldn’t die either…

I forgot the details, but I only remember that Kakuzu suddenly changed his mind and killed Lu Di, went to the underground exchange for gold, and then had a conflict with Asuma, and Asuma died.

Hmm~ So, Asuma shouldn't be dead. But we can't rule out the possibility that he will capture the tailed beast, and then the two sides will meet and fight.

Hey~ I originally wanted to do Shikamaru a favor by giving him the potion, so that if anything happens in the future, I can ask him for help.

I have prepared a lot for this matter. I hope that all my preparations will not be in vain.

Uchiha Xing kept thinking in his heart.

After a long time, there was a knock on the office door, and soon, Haruno Sakura pushed open the office door.

Uchiha Xing was standing aside, listening to their conversation in a daze.

Soon another candidate was confirmed, it was Yamanaka Ino.

Everything was just as Uchiha Xing expected.

"Well, Ms. Yuori, please give me your guidance over the next few days."

Haruno Sakura said to Uchiha Star with a smile.

"Well, please give me more advice in the future."

Uchiha Xing said with a smile, and then led by Haruno Sakura, they went to the laboratory.

Not long after Uchiha Xing and the others arrived at the laboratory, Yamanaka Ino also arrived.

"Ms. Yuori."

The Yamanaka contact followed Uchiha Xing and greeted him.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Uchiha Xing said, taking out a potion from a scroll.

"I will give some to you later. You should have learned potion analysis from Tsunade. You will analyze the internal materials and then start preparing the medicine according to the ingredients."

"Although I promised Tsunade that I would tell her the ingredients and configuration of the potion, I firmly believe that you will have a better understanding of the potion's ingredients if you configure and experiment by yourself. After analyzing the results, remember to let me take a look."

"Okay, let's get started. If you come across something you don't understand, or if there are any strange effects, let me know."

Uchiha Xing said as he divided the potion into three portions, then gave one each to Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino.

"I see."

Haruno Sakura nodded, then she and Yamanaka Ino each took a portion of the potion and began to analyze it.

Uchiha Star also started conducting experiments.

Uchiha Xing fixed the experimental mouse on the experimental board and then seriously injured it.

Uchiha Xing controlled the state of the experimental mice, and after a certain period of time, Uchiha Xing injected the medicine into the bodies of the experimental mice.

The experimental mouse was going crazy. The blood, which was originally flowing slowly, suddenly accelerated. Soon the experimental mouse died from lack of blood supply to its internal organs.

Uchiha Xing kept recording the changes of the experimental mice.

Is the concentration still high?

Uchiha Xing took out another scroll, and as the scroll unravelled, countless medicinal herbs appeared.

"It's so convenient."

Looking at Uchiha Xing's skillful use of the scroll, Yamanaka Ino said with some envy.

"It seems that Miss Yuori is not only good at medical ninjutsu, but also has a strong perception of time and space."

Haruno Sakura looked at Uchiha Xing and said helplessly.

"Host, I noticed that your utilization rate of system space seems to be getting lower and lower. Do you not love me anymore?"

The system said in Uchiha Xing's mind with great grievance.

"You think too much. I have never loved you."

Uchiha Hoshi prepared the potion very steadily.

“Oh my god~ You scumbag~ You used to call me sweetie~ Now that you don’t have any use for me, just call me dead thing~ Oh my god~”

The system kept howling in Uchiha Xing's mind.

Uchiha Xing's hands couldn't help but tremble because of the sarcastic voice of the system.

"You've been infected with a virus recently, or there's something wrong with your speech center. What are you doing with an electronic sound? It's even more disgusting than Kakuzu using his voice to comfort Karin when she was a child."

Uchiha Xing said this with great disgust in his heart.

"Humph! You haven't been drawing lots recently, and you haven't used up much system space. I can see that you clearly don't want to love me anymore!"

The system's tone became increasingly sarcastic.

Uchiha Xing rolled his eyes crazily inwardly.

"Please, I'm always out and about, there are always people around me, if they are still the same as when they were little, I can just trick them a little, now they are all good ninjas, their eyesight is better than anyone else's."

"Rather than making them doubt me, it would be more convenient to use the scroll."

Uchiha Xing followed the system's explanation with a headache.

"Huh~ Really? I thought you were planning to never use the system space again."

The system didn't believe Uchiha Xing's words at all.

Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly, he emptied his mind, hid his inner thoughts to prevent the system from reading his inner thoughts, and began to reply to the system.

"You think too much. Look at the system space. There are so many items in it. Including my most important things, they are also in the system space..."

"So, I will definitely not not use the system space."

Uchiha Xing said softly.

"Hehe~ I'll take it as the truth."

The system said with a proud tone.

"What do you mean by pretend? It's obviously the truth, okay?"

Uchiha Xing refuted the system's words and then continued to devote himself to the experiment.

Is the dosage too light this time?

Watching the experimental mouse breathe actively for a few minutes and then die again, Uchiha Xing began to change the contents of the potion.

Regardless of the severity of the medicine, it will accelerate blood circulation. It seems that the medicine that promotes circulation needs to be replaced.

Uchiha Xing thought about it while starting to improve the potion.

On the other side, Haruno Sakura finally completed the analysis of the medicine after checking it through various methods.

"Um, Ms. Yuori, this potion contains these medicinal ingredients, right?"

Haruno Sakura handed the list she had recorded to Uchiha Xing.

Uchiha Xing took it, looked at it, and then nodded slightly.

As expected, he is Tsunade's chosen disciple. He has great talent, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"Yes, everything is complete, but there are some issues with the proportions. But it's okay, this is just the initial potion, you can try to change it. Our goal is to make the potion reach the desired level, understand?"
