Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

"Teacher Arai".

The next day, Arai met Yubi, who had returned from outside the village, at the hospital.

Yubi greeted him warmly.

Both of them looked very natural.

Although it has been several years since they last operated as a team, Yubi has always referred to Arai as "teacher," a title that has never changed.

"Yubi, what do you need?"

Arai chuckled softly.

"Come on, I'll show you some good stuff." Yubi got up and pulled Arai along to the hospital's research lab.

After a short while, the two entered an empty room. It was called a research room, but the furnishings were actually very simple, mainly consisting of bottles and jars. As soon as you entered, you could smell the various medicines, which were somewhat pungent.

The table shelves were also piled with a variety of raw medicinal herbs, categorized by type.

Some look like herbs, while others look like the flesh or organs of some animal.

In short, there's a wide variety of things to choose from.

In the corner, there were several pools that looked like petri dishes.

At this moment, Saori and the others seemed to be busy preparing a potion and had no time to pay attention to the two of them.

The village had always known about Yubi's research, but due to a series of sudden conflicts, others, including the higher-ups, simply didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to it. In addition, the village had limited funds and couldn't provide support... Therefore, they were never very clear about Yubi's specific research findings.

All that is known is that Yubi borrowed many people with certain expertise in pharmacological research to help him.

Once inside, Yubi opened a box on the table and took out several white pills.

"This is?"

Arai wondered.

"An antibiotic..." Yubi Yile.

"Antibiotics?" Arai had never heard of this term before.

"You can think of it simply as boosting the body's immunity. Although there are antibiotics of this kind in the ninja world, I've used them before, but they were very ineffective. They couldn't completely eliminate some wound infections, including bacteria that had invaded the body..." Yubi explained.

"It seems that the research direction of all ninja village pharmacology, or rather what they care about... is more inclined towards killing or becoming stronger, rather than truly saving lives... and they are unwilling to settle down and do such things, perhaps because they feel it's not very meaningful. Of course, the ninja world has never been peaceful, there are too many things going on, and even if some people have this idea, they probably don't have enough time and energy..."

"However, you could also argue that their knowledge in this area is not as extensive as mine."

Yubi rubbed his nose, a little smugly.

"Isn't it a potion?"

Arai's eyelids twitched.

The pill that Yubi was holding in her hand was only the size of a fingernail.

It looks like a small amount, and although he doesn't know much about medicine... could this small piece be more effective than a whole bottle of medicine?

Even some pills are several times larger than this sheet.

"These solid tablets are easy to carry and package, making them easier to sell to the outside world... They also have a long shelf life. As for their effects, they are at least dozens of times more effective than the equivalent drugs currently on the market... This is because the technology and tools are currently limited, and we are just preparing for mass production, so many aspects are still immature. This is already the best we can do."

"The future will only get better."

Yubi said casually.

"..."

Arai swallowed hard.

Several times more?

Judging from what Yubi said, it seems that he is not very satisfied with the current research results?

Is this why he has been traveling around the ninja world for over a year, collecting information related to medicinal herbs?

"This powdery medicine looks grayish and is for external use... It can repair cells and flesh, but of course... the effect is not as direct as medical ninjutsu. It takes time, and a course of treatment takes at least a few days to see results. But its advantage is that it is convenient to use, and it can provide some relief in situations where emergency treatment is needed but there are no medical ninjas available."

"This...this is for pain relief, one pill is enough to take effect...hehe."

"And this...this can stimulate bone growth. Even if there is a broken bone, as long as a certain amount is taken, it can ensure recovery in a relatively short time."

"And this..."

"Wait a minute... did you research all of this?"

Arai subconsciously glanced at Saori not far away. Why didn't the village know anything about all of this?

"Don't look at me... He's the dean, I'm just following his orders." Saori noticed Arai's gaze, glanced back at him, and said calmly.

It's no wonder Arai was so surprised... As a medical ninja, when the prescriptions provided by Yubi were tested and their efficacy was certified, everyone in the research lab was in an uproar!

As a complete novice, Arai had no idea what this meant.

He didn't understand just how great Yubi was as a medical ninja.

"There's been a lot going on in the village lately, and I've heard about it... Hehe, my idea is that we shouldn't inform the higher-ups and Lord Kazekage about this until we succeed, so that they won't be disappointed if we fail in the end." Seeing Arai's blank expression, Yubi guessed what he was thinking and explained.

"What I'm showing you is just a part of the finished medicines, mainly made for battlefield situations... I've been traveling around for over a year and have learned about the main types and directions of diseases among the lower classes in the ninja world. I've also developed some medicines suitable for ordinary people, which can be used in daily life."

At this point, Yubi paused and her smile faded.

Looking directly at Arai, he said, "You should understand what this means, right?"

At this moment, besides being shocked, Arai also felt a chill run down his spine.

Then, a surge of ecstasy welled up inside me.

Right under everyone's noses, Yubi quietly did such a big thing!

The medicines that Yubi introduced to him alone were enough to greatly reduce the village's medical burden... and even on the battlefield, medical ninjas were not needed to treat them, and the fighters themselves could recover from their injuries in a short time.

These medicines, once on the market, would be highly sought after by every ninja village.

With a large stockpile of medicines, the need for medical ninjas in any village can be greatly reduced.

It can be said that it solved the "pain point" that all ninja villages, including Sunagakure, had to face during the war.

This also prevents the village's ninjas from being quickly consumed or replaced on the battlefield, thus allowing them to unleash a more sustained combat force.

And then there were the drugs that Yubi mentioned, specifically those targeted at ordinary people.

Although Arai didn't see it... he knew that it was something that no existing medicine in the ninja world could replace.

Ordinary people in all countries need... and will buy.

Once the market is opened up... Sunagakure will gain a continuous stream of wealth.

Furthermore, they have the means to suppress other ninja villages or hostile forces!

It's out!

They dug... no, I mean, Yubi dug up a huge treasure for the village of Sunagakure!

What left Arai's mind somewhat blank was that he had also thought of another aspect.

With these medicines... not only the Sand Village, but even the entire ninja world's survival rate and lifespan will be improved.

It should be understood that many ordinary people die from disease, not from war.

The village of Sunagakure will be completely transformed and usher in a new era.

...

A moment later, Arai, somewhat dazed, was pulled out of the research lab by Yubi.

I haven't come to my senses yet.

The two returned to Yubi's office, where she served as the dean.

It was just the two of them.

After entering the house, Yubi turned around and locked the door.

Next, I looked at Arai.

"Arai-sensei..."

"Can I...trust you?"

"Um?"

Arai was stunned.

He sensed an indescribable meaning in Yubi's eyes.

This made his heart skip a beat.

A premonition he didn't want to accept was about to surface.
