Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Yes, she is my good friend."

Bai Yu replied.

“Kushina transferred one million ryo to you. Although this amount of money is not much to her, she is still young, so as an elder, I need to know where this money is going and how it is being used,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Actually, let alone one million taels, even if Kushina gave Shiroba ten million taels, that would be her own money and has nothing to do with him.

After all, the businesses Kushina entrusted to the "higher-ups" to manage, located in the Fire Capital, generated over 100 million ryo in profit annually.

As one of the top clans besides the two great clans, the Sarutobi clan needs a lot of money to grow and expand.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi would not use his position as Hokage to seek personal gain for his clan, the clan needed money, so he did not refuse when he acquired these assets.

"I borrowed this money from Kushina for an experiment. Actually, I planned to report it to the village after I had some results," Bai Yu explained, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He had anticipated this situation before lending the money, so he had prepared his explanation in advance.

"An experiment?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Bai Yu explained, "When I was young, I found a prescription at home that said if I persisted in taking medicinal baths five hundred times, it would greatly benefit my physical training."

However, the medicinal herbs needed for a single medicinal bath are quite expensive, so I…”

Bai Yu recounted how Kushina had given him a hundred portions of medicinal herbs when he bought them last time, as well as the changes in his body after a hundred medicinal baths.

"You mean, after only one hundred medicinal baths, the body's reaction speed increased?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised and doubtful. Medicinal baths that could enhance physical reactions were indeed very precious.

However, he had investigated and found that the Yagami family, tracing back to the founding of the village, had only produced one special Jonin, Yagami Kyo. What kind of precious medicinal formula could they possibly have?

However, it's not something that powerful clans can necessarily research and develop for taijutsu bath recipes. After all, since the Warring States period, ninjutsu and swordsmanship have been the mainstream of combat, and ninjas specializing in taijutsu have never been valued.

Bai Yu said earnestly, "Yes!"

Since we already owe Kushina a lot, we might as well owe her even more and pay her back slowly in the future.

I have some talent in medical ninja, so I thought I'd try five hundred medicinal baths and see what the effects would be.

If it really works, it might be possible to improve the medicinal bath formula and then promote it throughout the village.

Sensing Bai Yu's sincerity, Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat moved. "I understand. I'm very pleased that you have this kind of awareness."

To be honest, Bai Yu is a promising talent.

His ninja skills are quite good, but most importantly, his talent in medical ninjutsu is extremely outstanding in this medical training class.

The medical staff at Konoha Hospital spoke highly of him, and even Tsunade mentioned him several times, saying that the child had a rich imagination and extremely creative thinking.

Most importantly, Bai Yu is young but has a high level of awareness and is a true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

"Looking back now, I realize my thinking was a bit too arrogant," Bai Yu said, scratching his head and speaking seriously.

"Actually, I had wanted to hand over my family's traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions before, and then study them with the teachers in the medical class."

But I was worried it wouldn't be effective and would be a waste of everyone's time, so I wanted to try it myself slowly.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly:

"Your idea is good. But Bai Yu, you need to understand one thing."

Often, one person's strength is insignificant.

Even I need companions.

You must trust in the strength of your companions!

"Yes, Third Generation Lord." Bai Yu appeared humble and eager to learn. "I would like to offer the prescription to the village, is that alright?"

After the groundwork laid, the third generation will definitely be curious about the prescription.

Now it's not that the third generation is asking for the prescription; instead, he's offering it up voluntarily.

Even without the Knight's Breathing Technique, the medicinal bath formula still has health benefits, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

After Bai Yu handed over the prescription, he could freely purchase medicinal herbs.

Under the guise of research and development, he could also secretly purchase medicinal materials for wizard potions.

It is common for ninjas to combine physical training with medicinal baths, and each ninja clan has its own unique recipe.

According to Kushina, the Uzumaki clan alone, who do not specialize in physical techniques, have dozens of recipes.

Whether it's effective or not is another matter.

"Since you have such good intentions, the village will naturally not let you down. I will have the medical ninjas take it for research," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with satisfaction.

It takes 500 consecutive soaks to see results, which is quite costly.

Even if he were to actually conduct experiments, he estimated that it would only be available to a small number of elites within the clan.

Of course, the main purpose of this was to test whether Shiraha had any ulterior motives in contacting Kushina; the medicinal bath was just an unexpected bonus.

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered himself quite accurate in judging people.

White Feather is very good!

"Thank you very much, Third Generation Lord." Bai Yu bowed deeply, his face filled with excitement.

"You should go back now. I hope you can get along well with Kushina."

"I will!"

Bai Yu left the lounge.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got home.

If Bai Yu only had the experience of his first life and had not experienced the intrigue and deceit of the wizarding world, he would never have been able to fake it so well.

Through this encounter, Bai Yu gained a more direct understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.

In the first part of the story, the third generation was already an old man nearing seventy when he appeared, and his strength and energy had declined significantly.

He always appeared as a kind and approachable old man to others, without any airs of a Hokage.

However, Bai Yu wouldn't think that way.

At the beginning of the story, the Uchiha clan had already been wiped out, supposedly by Itachi Uchiha.

Orochimaru and the Third Hokage were indeed very strong. Even if Itachi was stronger than both of them, he couldn't have wiped out the Uchiha clan by himself.

Based on Bai Yu's current understanding, given the strength displayed by the Uchiha clan, even if they suffered a major blow before the start of the story, it would be impossible for them to be wiped out without anyone noticing.

There's only one possibility that the Uchiha clan, one of the two great clans, could be wiped out overnight: someone in the village must have helped them.

It's like our own people fighting each other!

Brainwashed by this distorted Will of Fire, Bai Yu wouldn't be surprised if a ninja did anything.

The title "Hero of the Ninja" bestowed upon the Third Hokage was not only a praise of his strength but also an acknowledgment of his political acumen by the various clans in the village.

I heard that the third generation was appointed to the position in a time of crisis, and was not initially recognized by everyone. He won the support of the people by virtue of his own abilities.

Of course, this is what's recorded in textbooks; Bai Yu doesn't believe that reality is only beautiful.

Now that he's in Konoha, if he still views the Third Hokage through the lens of his anime/manga image, then his thirty-plus years in the Wizarding World have been wasted.

A 40-year-old politician who is powerful and has a tough hand.

By the time he turns 70, he will have become a kind and amiable old man.

These two are not in conflict.

[Chapter 15. Crafting "Vitality Potion"]

Herbal medicine shop.

Bai Yu came out carrying several large bags of medicinal herbs.

He was prepared to pay generously, but the boss refused to accept his money and made him sign another IOU.

This was clearly Kushina's intention.

"Is this what it feels like to be kept?"

Bai Yu sighed inwardly.

......

Since Kushina had made prior arrangements, Matsuno Masato fulfilled all of Shiraha's medicinal needs.

He also spent a month procuring various special medicinal materials needed by Bai Yudu in the ninja world.

In his previous life, Bai Yu was most skilled at crafting the level 0 potion "Vitality Potion".

"Vitality Potion" can assist in the practice of meditation, enhance cell activity, accelerate the absorption of energy particles, and thus promote the growth of mental strength.

Regardless of the type of meditation practiced, there is a limit to how much mental energy a person can gain each day.

Once this limit is reached, even if the training time is extended, the mental strength will hardly increase.

However, with the help of medicine, this limit can be broken.

The advanced sorcerer meditation method that Bai Yu cultivates, without the aid of any potions, has resulted in a daily increase in mental strength that surpasses the increase he experienced in his previous life when he used potions to cultivate ordinary meditation methods.

According to the "Encyclopedia of Herbs", the main ingredient of "Vitality Potion" is "Corpse Soul Grass", which is hard to find, but with the help of money, it was still found.

The other main ingredient, "old tree root," must be at least 50 years old.

However, it seems that Konoha Village has nothing else but a lot of trees.

He once stood on a high place and looked down over the entire village, where trees were everywhere, seemingly endless.

Even if you cut down dozens or hundreds of trees, no one will say anything.

Bai Yu's target is the back mountain of the Ninja Academy.

He visited several times and found that some of the trees were over 50 years old, which were his primary targets.

However, students usually practice in the back mountain, so Bai Yu specially waited until Saturday evening to cut down the tree.

To make a potion, all you need is a small piece of "old tree root," so just cut down an old tree.

Boom!

Bai Yu arrived at the back mountain and heard a sound coming from ahead. He followed the sound and parted the bushes.
