Blue Healing Potion

Konoha Hospital laboratory.

Natsuki looked at the crushed medicinal herbs before him, his expression solemn as he reached out his hand.

Chakra surged from his palm, enveloping the herbs.

The herbs began to churn, and under the filtration of his Chakra, the impurities were removed, eventually turning into powder.

Seeing this, Natsuki couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

After three months of study, his extraction process had finally reached a passing standard.

It was now October, and the second semester of Second Grade Class A was already more than halfway over.

Natsuki had only done three things during this time: go on missions, attend classes, and refine medicine.

He and Nawaki had completed a total of twelve missions under Orochimaru, five of which were B-rank, and he had killed seven Chunin.

He was only two Chunin and one Special Jonin away from unlocking the second ability of the Megumi Fushiguro template.

Natsuki placed the powder into a beaker and raised his hand once more.

Under the influence of his Chakra, the powder coalesced, turning into a black pill.

This was a Military Ration Pill.

"To complete the production of a Military Ration Pill in just three months, while your talent isn't top-tier, it can certainly be considered decent."

Tsunade, standing opposite Natsuki, had watched the entire process and offered her praise.

"It is all thanks to your teaching, Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki picked up the Military Ration Pill from the beaker and tossed it into his mouth.

A pungent medicinal taste rushed straight to his brain, causing his brows to furrow involuntarily.

He could finally understand why Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were in such agony after eating Haruno Sakura's Military Ration Pills.

"Here."

Tsunade smiled and held out her hand.

In her fair palm lay a piece of candy.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki ate the candy, the sweetness washing away the strange taste of the Military Ration Pill.

He carefully sensed the changes within his body; his Chakra had indeed increased, but only by a small amount.

It was no wonder that in the later stages of the original story, basically no ninja would eat Military Ration Pills.

Because the amount of Chakra restored by a Military Ration Pill was a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, in a duel between top-tier powerhouses, the act of eating a Military Ration Pill might become a vulnerability, allowing the enemy to seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage.

Natsuki felt that the most useful pills in the original story were the Three-Colored Pills of the Akimichi Clan.

They could effectively enhance one's strength in the early and middle stages.

"For the remaining time, continue making Military Ration Pills until you have mastered it by heart."

Tsunade walked toward the exit, "If you have any questions, come find me at my office."

The door closed.

Natsuki looked at the medicine cabinet not far away.

Common medicinal herbs in the Ninja World were stocked in Konoha Hospital, including the seven herbs required for the Blue Healing Potion.

Natsuki walked over and took out one portion of each of the seven herbs.

He paused, then took out five more types of herbs.

Natsuki intended to create the Blue Healing Potion under the guise of a coincidence.

Among the twelve types of herbs he had taken out, four could be used for Anti-inflammatory Ointment.

Anti-inflammatory Ointment was a salve that already existed in the Ninja World.

Natsuki could easily claim that he had a sudden inspiration while making the Anti-inflammatory Ointment and accidentally created the Blue Healing Potion.

Time flowed slowly.

After failing twice, Natsuki successfully created the Blue Healing Potion.

The difficulty of making the Blue Healing Potion was higher than that of the Military Ration Pill, but fortunately, not by much.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the second ability of the Enfirea template: Blue Healing Potion.]

Natsuki's body trembled as he felt a vast amount of experience surge throughout his entire being.

If his success rate for making the Blue Healing Potion had been sixty percent, it was now one hundred percent.

So this is the effect of unlocking an ability?

Natsuki couldn't help but nod.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for pharmaceutical production to reach a ten-tenths, or one hundred percent, success rate.

This is also the reason why people prepare extra medicinal ingredients whenever they hire a Ninja or Physician to craft medicine.

Now that Natsuki possessed a one-hundred-percent success rate, he would invisibly save a massive amount of medicinal materials.

He picked up the Blue Healing Potion, hesitated for a moment, and abandoned the idea of testing the medicine on himself.

Because he had no injuries on his body, it would be difficult to see the specific effects even if he drank it.

Natsuki turned and left the laboratory, arriving at the office of Tsunade.

He knocked on the door and walked in.

"Natsuki."

Tsunade put down the documents in her hand and asked, "Did you encounter any problems?"

"After I became familiar with the production of Military Ration Pills, I attempted to craft Anti-inflammatory Ointment."

Natsuki replied, "But after mixing several medicinal ingredients, I accidentally created a new potion."

A look of confusion appeared on Tsunade's face.

What do you mean you accidentally created a new medicine?

The emergence of a new medicine is even more troublesome than the creation of a new Jutsu.

This is because it involves researching the combinations of various medicinal ingredients; if one is not careful, it could easily turn into poison.

"Tsunade-sensei, look at this."

Natsuki took out the Blue Healing Potion and handed it to her.

Tsunade took the Blue Healing Potion and began to observe it.

After sniffing the scent, she drank it in one gulp.

As the most outstanding medical Ninja, she also possessed the most outstanding detoxification capabilities.

As long as this Blue Healing Potion was not a deadly poison on the level of a Salamander, she was confident she could neutralize it if she drank it.

Moreover, based on her judgment, this was not any kind of poison.

Tsunade closed her eyes.

She carefully sensed the changes in her body.

A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"The effect of this potion is equivalent to a D-rank Healing Jutsu."

Tsunade took a deep breath and said.

Healing Jutsu is equivalent to a weakened version of the Mystical Palm Technique, capable of treating minor injuries, both internal and external.

Although it cannot heal moderate or severe injuries, it can still play a certain role, buying time until rescue arrives.

Natsuki was not surprised to hear this.

After all, the system stated very clearly that the Blue Healing Potion could promote the body's self-healing and recover injuries at a slower pace.

"The only drawback is that it takes five seconds to take effect, which means it is not well-suited for combat."

Tsunade paused and evaluated, "But even so, it can be called a quite useful invention."

The reason for this is that there are too few medical Ninjas.

Carrying a Blue Healing Potion around is equivalent to carrying a Genin-level medical Ninja who knows Healing Jutsu.

Then what about the Red Healing Potion: Blood of God and the Stamina Recovery Potion?

Wouldn't that be like carrying a Jonin-level medical Ninja around?

It is simply of extraordinary strategic significance.

Natsuki was certain that if he handed over the Red Healing Potion: Blood of God and the Stamina Recovery Potion, he would become the apple of Tsunade's eye.

The kind where she would be afraid of dropping him if she held him in her palm, or afraid he would melt if she kept him in her mouth.

However, handing them over was out of the question.

Taking out the less important Blue Healing Potion was already enough.

Although he would make less money, this is the Ninja World where strength is supreme; money is secondary.

Surviving and becoming stronger is the top priority.

For the Red Healing Potion: Blood of God and the Stamina Recovery Potion, his plan was to cooperate with Orochimaru or Tsunade.

One reason is that they cannot be mass-produced.

The second reason is that he cannot obtain their raw materials on his own.

For example, Hashirama Cells and Tailed Beast Chakra.

However, he could not cooperate directly either.

He had no way to explain the source, so the best method was still to have it be a stroke of luck, just like today.

Now that he had initially established his persona, the rest was just a matter of time.

"Although there are many healing agents in the Ninja World, those with effects comparable to Medical Ninjutsu are few and far between."

Tsunade looked at Natsuki and said with emotion, "You really have surprised me."

The Blue Healing Potion was already enough to make her look at him with new eyes.

Although it could not be used during combat, it could still play a significant role when used after a battle.

"How do you intend to handle this formula of yours?"

Tsunade asked again.

According to the rules of Konoha, whoever invented something owned it.

However, one could also hand it over to Konoha in exchange for merit.

"In my hands, this potion cannot reach its maximum value."

Natsuki said with a resolute expression, "I intend to hand it over so the village can promote it and save more Ninja."

Tsunade immediately showed an expression of surprise.

Natsuki's answer far exceeded her expectations.

"You have already grasped the true essence of a medical ninja."

Tsunade came back to her senses and praised him, "If you weren't already Orochimaru's student, I would definitely want you as my student."

"I am your student now as well."

Natsuki said earnestly.

"That is true."

Tsunade stood up and said, "Come with me to see the teacher; I won't let you be at a disadvantage."

"Thank you, Teacher Tsunade."

Natsuki nodded and said.

The two of them soon arrived at the Hokage Office.

"Natsuki, I truly did not misjudge you."

After hearing the report, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with great gratification.

What an excellent successor to the Will of Fire!

"Teacher, let Konoha Hospital handle the production and promotion of this potion."

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "As the inventor of the potion, Natsuki should receive thirty percent of the profits."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback.

He could understand giving a share.

But was thirty percent too high?

After all, Konoha had to provide the medicinal herbs and manpower, which meant Natsuki would receive thirty percent of the profits without doing anything.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and ultimately agreed.

The first reason was that Konoha would not lose out.

Medical Ninja were scarce in the Ninja World, so the Blue Healing Potion would inevitably be very popular.

Furthermore, since it could not take effect during combat, Konoha could even sell it at a high price to other villages.

Konoha at least had Tsunade, while the medical ninja in other villages were in a miserable state, with entire villages unable to find even a few.

The second reason was that Natsuki was one of their own, a Ninja of the Hokage's lineage.

Moreover, if he could invent one formula, he could invent two, or even more.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Natsuki could not help but feel excited.

Nowadays, no one in Konoha dared to touch him because he had Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Tsunade as his backers.

And the thirty percent share of the Blue Healing Potion would allow him to make a fortune while lying at home.

Given enough time, he might even become the richest person in Konoha.
