Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Kitayama Osamu wouldn't listen. Every drug was discovered through repeated experiments. This kid has a good character; he didn't have any intention of using other people as test subjects.

but.

Using yourself as experimental material is too insignificant.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong."

"You know you're wrong?"

Kitayama Otoko laughed in anger.

This wasn't the first time Chiba had acted recklessly. The same thing happened with the soldier pills; he secretly finished them on his own before letting her know.

"Yes, I know I was wrong, I will definitely change next time!"

"Pah, you little brat, you'll dare to do it again next time."

Kitayama took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

As for the embarrassing scene of her headfirst falling into the bathtub earlier, she didn't care so much about it at the moment.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

"Alright, I know you're a genius, but even geniuses can't act recklessly. What if you get poisoned? Who will come to your rescue tonight?"

Kitayama Osamu spoke slowly.

Chiba nodded repeatedly without refutation.

The girl calmed down, and her prominent clothes stopped heaving.

"Alright, let's drop this matter. What kind of experiment are you conducting?"

Kitayama Osamu was somewhat curious.

This child is very talented. As long as it's not an S-rank ninjutsu, she can learn it in a few tries, no matter how difficult it is. Moreover, she has excellent creativity. She scolded her because she was worried about Chiba's safety.

Most people would have been kicked out by her long ago.

"Medicated bath".

"Medicated bath?"

Beishan felt lost and confused.

What is this?

"Simply put, it's a drug that quickly relieves muscle fatigue and accelerates the body's absorption, used in conjunction with bathing."

Chiba explained.

Although Kitayama Osamu was a medical ninja, he had trained hard before, and after listening to Chiba's explanation, he understood the benefits of the medicinal bath.

You can improve your physical fitness by taking military rations.

but.

Muscle and body fatigue was previously difficult to relieve with medication.

If Chiba's medicine really can achieve this, many people would certainly be happy to buy a dose every day, not to mention the latter—faster absorption, which means the body digests and absorbs energy faster.

A drug specifically created for exercise!

"How are the materials?"

Kitayama asked again.

Chiba understood what she meant and explained the five versions he had tried.

Versions one and two are the most effective, but two of the ingredients are hard to find and obtain, so the yield is inevitably low.

The third and fourth versions are less effective, and the difference between the two is not significant. The former has the advantage of using common medicinal materials, and the two options are highly substitutable.

The last edition was slightly better than the third and fourth editions, but it cost twice as much.

and so.

At present, it is not yet a finished product.

Kitayama thought for a moment and said, "Let's conduct a pilot test. If you don't mind sharing some of the profits, the medical team can help with these tests."

"no problem."

Chiba did not hesitate.

"Are you sure? Don't be fooled by the fact that the materials are cheap and the profits from this deal are only about 10%. This stuff is consumable, and everyone will probably buy it in the future. The total amount of money will definitely be substantial."

Kitayama explained the situation clearly.

Chiba nodded: "Enough money is fine. I'm not interested in money. Besides, I still need to make changes later. If I do everything myself, where will I find the time to train and study? By that time, I could have created a ninjutsu."

"..."

Damn it, even though what you said is true, it still makes me want to punch you.

Kitayama said with a sigh.

She paused for a few seconds, then finally said, "Submit the rough draft tomorrow, and I'll have Baicao and the others experiment with it. Right now, the most important thing for you is to go to sleep and get some rest!"

"Yes!"

Chiba left the office and closed the door behind him. He then heard a loud thud from inside, as if a book was being slammed against the table.

Today's update schedule will be temporarily adjusted: one update at midnight and another around 11 PM.

Why compare with Chiba in Chapter 17?

"Lord Third Generation, I also wanted to train him. I invited him to join the Dark Division before, but he hasn't come to see me or you in the past few days. It seems he doesn't plan to join."

"Hehe, Kakashi, take a look at this."

The three generations were so happy that their eyes narrowed.

"what?"

Kakashi took it.

It wasn't a scroll, but an application document.

Application for Project Establishment of "Strengthening Herbal Bath"

This is?

He examined it closely.

"This……"

He was indeed very satisfied with Chiba. The boy's strength, personality, and wisdom amazed him. He was the boy he most wanted to take as his disciple.

Kitayama gave a brief explanation.

"There's a project that requires everyone to conduct observational experiments for a week..."

"I understand. I'll be the one to conduct the assessment."

In terms of talent, Chiba is only lacking in nature transformation and genjutsu, but in other areas, his talent is monstrous, not inferior to the Second Hokage of that time.

"That child tried five formulas and submitted the two cheapest ones. Although the effects were not as good, they were cheap and even a low-ranking ninja could afford them if they saved money."

Kakashi secretly cursed.

"Senior Kitayama."

"If you're worried about Naruto, I think there's no need to."

One year.

Train Chiba to become a qualified Chunin, and then he can retire successfully. If Naruto is hopeless, he can come back to lead the class.

"Ah."

I suspect you're implying something.

"why?"

"..."

While he was still pondering, the third generation offered another suggestion: "Although I am old, I can still offer some guidance occasionally. You will need to put in more effort in other aspects."

The third generation smiled.

At least Chiba is not suited to Kai's kind of harsh education.

Baicao was slow and ended up being pushed back.

This kind of drug...

He picked up the application and looked at it several times: "What about the costs?"

Chiba comes from a commoner background, so he considers not only the efficacy of medicine but also its price, as seen in his previous soldier pills and his current medicinal baths.

As long as someone provides the right guidance, he won't become like Orochimaru.

Kai isn't very good at this.

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, then leaned back in his chair and sighed, saying, "Kakashi, if I were ten years younger, I wouldn't hesitate to take him as my disciple immediately."

Kakashi was puzzled.

Kakashi was conflicted.

Kakashi understood what the Third Hokage meant.

The third generation was worried that Chiba would be led astray.

"I'll give you some authority so you don't have to follow the rules step by step. I'll give you a year. Are you confident you can train Chiba to become a Chunin?"

Sounds pretty good?

"What project?"

"prescription?"

This is what the third generation is most satisfied with.
