In mid-August, Tsunade went out to perform purchasing tasks, and Shu Furukawa began to take over part of Konoha Hospital's work.
He will be 10 years old in another month, and no one will treat him as a child anymore. After all, it is inevitable that he will become Jonin in 3 years.
After several years of development, the herbal laboratory has completed several rounds of updates in scale and equipment, and its full range of varieties is far ahead of the other four major countries!
"Master Xiu, this is the latest herb cultivated that can activate cells."
"We have solved the mass production problem and the quality of the medicinal herbs has been guaranteed."
Kanpo reported seriously, and Hyakuso beside him handed over the relevant data report. Shu Furukawa smiled after reading it and took the initiative to comfort him:
"Everyone has done a good job. Lord Jiraiya is here at Land of Grass, so there is no need to force the supply of new medicines."
"Teacher Tsunade will explain this matter to Lord Hokage when he comes back. Everyone just needs to work step by step."
The latest herb is a brand-new product that Shu Furukawa mutated through the "essence" obtained by [Collection]. After extraction, it can activate cells and has a hint of madness.
The new drug developed had serious side effects, but the senior management did not care about these and directly released it to the Land of Grass frontline.
Although they achieved good results in the battle at the end of last month, some ninjas also went insane because of their "madness".
Tsunade was very dissatisfied with the village's decision, but the frontline ninja asked for "more". No one cared about mental problems, it was enough to survive by killing the enemy.
Several people in Medical Corps were relieved when they heard Shu Furukawa's words. After learning that their fellow villagers were insane, everyone was under great pressure. No one wanted to indirectly become the "murderer".
"Xiu, it's time to inspect the special care ward. We have to prepare in advance."
Shizune, who was the assistant, reminded him loudly. Shu Furukawa nodded, took the uniform from the girl, and quickly arranged:
"Inform Special Jōnin in the hospital that we will conduct three surgeries in the afternoon."
"Yes!"
In the evening, most of the medical ninjas who had been busy all day turned pale, over-refining Chakra, and even the bodies of adults could not bear it.
Yakushi Nonō, who was wearing glasses and always maintained a gentle smile, secretly observed Shu Furukawa and found that the young man's face was as usual. He secretly made a note in his heart, and then felt a trace of guilt.
Root asked her to monitor Shu Furukawa and collect detailed intelligence. Yakushi Nonō could not refuse. Funds and children were her weaknesses.
"Thanks to the help of senior pharmacist recently, I will allocate part of the funds to the orphanage."
"Don't refuse. Prices have risen recently. This is for children to improve their lives."
Shu Furukawa came to Yakushi Nonō to express his gratitude, with a sincere smile on his face.
"Furukawa-kun, thank you very much!"
Yakushi Nonō thanked her softly, feeling even more guilty. For a moment, she even had the urge to confess everything.
Just recalling the experience at Root, Yakushi Nonō finally gave up.
Shu Furukawa didn't take the so-called "surveillance" to heart. The "rat" hiding in the dark knew nothing about his strength!
Death is the best "catalyst" for his strength.
Shizune specially gave some snacks to Yakushi Nonō when he got off work. When he got back to the office, he still sighed:
"Senior Pharmacist is really amazing. He can take care of such a big orphanage by himself!"
Shu Furukawa also praised, and then continued to help Tsunade organize the information. He noticed that the girl was hesitant to speak, and then said with a smile:
"I'll make dinner. I promised Teacher Tsunade will take care of you. You're welcome. We'll buy whatever you want to eat later!"
Shizune cheered, came to Shu Furukawa and chatted, and finally said with an expectant look on his face:
"Would you like to stay here tonight? I can help prepare breakfast."
"Next time, I'll go to Lord Orochimaru after dinner."
When the girl heard "Orochimaru", she reluctantly put her hands away. She was a little afraid of the snake-wielding Sannin. Compared with the soft and waxy Katsuyu, snakes are still too scary.

Late at night, the village was shrouded in darkness. Orochimaru, dressed in black Jonin casual clothes, looked at Shu Furukawa with interest and said in a hoarse voice:
"With keen perception and innate "assassination" skills, no wonder Danzo started to be wary of you."
"Teacher Orochimaru, is it okay to tell me this?"
Shu Furukawa came to Orochimaru quietly. This "assassination" habit was inherited from White Fang and has now become a physical instinct.
"The 'rats' hiding in the shadows have no idea of our strength!"
"But Danzo is right about one thing, darkness does exist in the village."
"Tsunade doesn't want to teach you this, but I think this is limiting your talents, practice and keep up with me."
After Orochimaru said these words, he stretched out his long tongue and licked it around his mouth. With an inexplicable smile on his face, he invited Shu Furukawa to go to the dense forest in the west of the village.
Shu Furukawa didn't hesitate and followed Orochimaru, arriving at the destination about 15 minutes later.
"Come with me, I will show you another side of the village tonight."
"Tsunade is a woman after all. The sooner she abandons her naive illusions, the more great things she can accomplish."
After Orochimaru untied Genjutsu, an entrance appeared on the ground. Seeing Shu Furukawa follow him neatly, the corners of his mouth turned up again for a moment.
The tunnel was built in an extremely regular manner. Orochimaru led the way and briefly introduced in a hoarse voice:
"Tsunade may have mentioned to you the development of Jinchuriki by other ninja villages, but she certainly has not told you that the village has also invested a lot of energy in this area."
"What we are studying is not Tailed Beast, but Kekkei Genkai that is unique to Konoha!"
"In order to recreate this Kekkei Genkai, the village did not hesitate to conduct human experiments, and hundreds of ninjas died for it."
Orochimaru Pushed open an iron door, and there were a large number of culture devices filled with green liquid in the room. Most of them contained twisted human bodies and various organs.
"Teacher Sarutobi used to be very strong, but he still couldn't escape the invasion of time. After his body ages, he can no longer inherit these darkness."
"The same goes for Hanzo, who is known as a "demigod". The old guy would actually compromise with a big country now. That attitude is really ugly!"
"Xiu, this is our first step towards eternity!"
Orochimaru looked at the "shocked" Shu Furukawa next to him with enthusiasm, a nervous smile on his pale face and introduced in a low voice:
"God of Shinobi, the grandfather of Tsunade, the cell of Hashirama Senju!"
Shu Furukawa turned pale at the right time, took a few steps back, and asked in "shock":
"First generation Lord Hokage cells?!"
Orochimaru on the side was very satisfied when he saw the expected expression, and responded with a low and hoarse voice:
"Yes, this is the best way to inherit Will of Fire!"
