Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 104 The Shock of Poisoning and the Showdown (Seeking First Subscription)

"Don't make any more moves—Arai is already on guard, but judging from his attitude, he shouldn't be in any danger."

"There are still some left to remove—"

"No need—the upcoming Ninja World War will deplete these people. The village needs time to recover; otherwise, with so many high-ranking officials lost at once, there won't be many left to be of use when the war begins."

After Arai left, Sasori appeared in Yubi's office.

The two were having a conversation.

"As for the internal conflicts within the village, I think the advent of Sunagakure's medicine, this great joy, and the changes it can bring to Sunagakure, will be enough to quell everything," Yubi said with a smile.

The economy is the first major pain point that Sunagakure cannot avoid.

As long as there is money and people's lives improve, there will be less hostility.

In addition, with the absence of him and Sasori interfering, any remaining conflicts will disappear after the death of the third generation.

The friction between the two class factions did not happen overnight; it was largely caused by the uneven distribution of limited resources.

This will never happen again.

"Where is he?"

Scorpion leaned against the wall and asked.

"Let's begin—"

Yubi nodded.

The "scorpion" refers to the poisoning of the Third Kazekage.

"You've already won the Kazekage's trust. The matter of the medicine will please the Third Kazekage and other high-ranking officials for a long time. He won't think we're going to make a move against him," Yubi said.

Yubi's plan was meticulously planned, with each step linked to the next. The matter of medicine, while not necessarily diverting the attention of all the higher-ups, would at least instantly change the village's policies, drawing all resources to Sunagakure's new industries.

This was used to lull other high-ranking officials into a false sense of security regarding the film.

This will make it easier for them to implement their plans.

Upon hearing this, the scorpion turned and left.

"careful."

Yubi still offered a reminder.

He had already examined the scorpion's venom; it was fine.

The Third Kazekage had to die no matter what—firstly, to give Sasori an explanation, and secondly, for the sake of the village's future.

But most importantly, if the Fourth Shinobi World War doesn't break out, Sunagakure's medicines won't be able to be sold in large quantities, and other villages won't have time to research their medicines. Otherwise, a large number of counterfeit drugs will quickly appear on the market.

In short, this Ninja World War was extremely important.

The Third Kazekage is of paramount importance.

In addition, Scorpion has created a simplified version of the "Puppet Core" and applied it to humanoid puppets.

But the results were not quite satisfactory to him.

As for the dead high-ranking members of Sunagakure, the reason there are no corpses is because—some of them have become Sasori's collection.

However, recently, Arai's mental state has been noticeably poor—even the Kazekage has noticed it.

However, Yubi and Sasori's cessation of fighting gradually eased Arai's suspicions.

He's overthinking things by constantly trying to convince himself.

If it were simply a matter of Sasori, Arai could remain calm.

But when it comes to Yubi—especially after learning about the huge changes Yubi is about to bring to the village—Arai is a little reluctant to investigate the truth.

Yubi stayed in Sunagakure for a while.

He not only contacted merchants in the village, but also traveling merchants from outside—through negotiations with them, he first established a simple trade channel for medicines in Sunagakure and discussed some cooperation.

At the same time, staying in the village was also to avoid the discovery of the scorpion's poisoning.

-

That way, he can also take some action.

Fortunately, Scorpion succeeded without the Kazekage noticing.

The situation in the village is still somewhat complicated, and the Third Kazekage needs to deal with it as soon as possible.

After doing all this, Yubi left the village again and headed to the Land of Rain.

Keep making money.

Because he would need to invest a certain amount of money to distribute the goods and open up the market later. In addition, he wanted to take advantage of the one-year window of opportunity and collect a large amount of medicinal materials before all the ninja villages became aware of this, in order to prepare for the subsequent battlefield.

Otherwise, it would be pointless if medicine supplies couldn't be met once war broke out.

Furthermore, once other ninja villages obtain his medicine and research its ingredients, they may also begin collecting related medicinal materials. At that time, it will not be so easy for Sunagakure to purchase it.

The resources of medicinal herbs will be divided up in large quantities.

Prices will also rise accordingly.

In the early stages, he didn't need to buy a lot of goods from the entire ninja world; he only needed to let all the villages and countries know that Sunagakure had this type of medicinal resource.

Thanks to Yubi's relentless efforts to make money, a few months later, merchants from Sunagakure, including some traveling merchants who had partnered with him, began to take the first batch of finished medicines to various regions of the ninja world.

Sunagakure Village, the office building where the Kazekage resides.

All senior executives gathered together.

Today's protagonist is undoubtedly Yubi.

After two years, and with the drug finally beginning to be tested on the market, Yubi, who had returned to the village from the outside world, was finally ready to reveal his plan.

Everyone in the room was holding a small paper packet containing the finished medicine.

This is the packaging for the medicine.

The character "砂" was written on the paper.

-

This means it was produced by their Sunagakure village.

"Some merchants in the village have already taken them out, and we'll have to wait and see how well they sell and how well the market accepts them. However—I don't think they'll make much of a splash in the short term—most of the buyers are from the lower rungs of the ninja world. Although they won't earn a lot, it will definitely be a considerable profit."

When they heard Yubi recount everything he had done with Saori and the others over the past two years, the Third Kazekage and the others were first shocked, then overjoyed.

Just like the original Arai.

The only one with a relatively calm expression was Chiyo.

Two weeks ago, she went to the hospital department and personally tested the drug's effects.

All I can say is—these drugs are astonishing.

Those present were all high-ranking officials; with their intelligence, they surely understood what Yubi's research meant.

Even the usually serious and composed Third Kazekage was visibly agitated, clutching the medicine packet tightly in his hand.

The village knew that Yubi was conducting research and had heard some news about it, but they didn't know the details.

This little guy is such a good hider!

"Oh, right—the prescription—"

Suddenly, the Third Kazekage realized what was happening, looked at Yubi, and said in a deep voice.

"The complete prescription for each medicine is currently known only to Saori and me—so please rest assured that even if someone leaks it, it won't have any impact in the short term. However, for some villages, as long as they obtain the medicine, they can conduct a formulation analysis—it took me two years to complete the process, but when I got there, they could just pick the fruit. If they wanted to imitate it, it would take even less time."

"But—the first thing they need to do, besides figuring out the ingredients in the drug, is to pinpoint the ingredients to a specific medicinal herb. Other villages don't have as much expertise in this area of ​​pharmacological research, so even if a generic drug is launched, it will take at least a year. By then, we'll have already scoured up most of the medicinal resources in the ninja world. Even if they want to collect them, they'll have to wait a while—at least we can ensure that our village will have an absolute monopoly for the next few years."

As expected of the village's shadow, he thought of this immediately.

Yubi smiled and comforted him.

"What Yubi means is that the real value of his research is not these drugs and prescriptions."

"Instead, he helped the village figure out how many medicinal materials were available in the ninja world and what effects they had—that was the real wealth he brought to the village."

"It's something that other villages lack."

Fearing that others might not understand, Chiyo added a few more words.

This massive amount of medicinal material data is the source of Sunagakure's confidence in dominating the market.

Even further—in the future, some drugs could be iterated upon in subsequent research to launch new products with better efficacy.

"I'm rich now!"

A senior executive swallowed hard and muttered to himself.

"Yubi—you're a genius! No, not just a genius, you're a god! A god in the field of medicine!"

Another person stepped forward and hugged Yubi tightly, his emotions running high.

"Haha—it's not that bad, that's a bit of an exaggeration—"

Yubi also showed a hearty smile.

"Although it's not ninjutsu—it's just a medicine—for the entire ninja world, his benefits may indeed deserve that title in the future."

Chiyo looked at the boy with a complicated expression, praising him generously.

Sunagakure was able to make a fortune from these medicines.

But to outsiders, these medicines are life-saving.

The whole world will benefit from it.

This far exceeds what a single medical ninja could accomplish.
