"Moon, how confident are you?"

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Minato Namikaze didn't question Uchiha Yue's deduction. Instead, he asked seriously, "Tsuki, if Mr. Mikasa really has a problem, it's not just Mr. Mikasa who will be dealt with; the members of those merchant caravans will also be implicated. If you're not confident, we need to discuss this carefully, after all, Lord Orochimaru just agreed to purchase Mr. Mikasa's medicinal herbs!"

"Sixty percent certain!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yue was also aware of the seriousness of the matter, so when Minato Namikaze questioned him, Uchiha Yue answered without hesitation, "There is nothing wrong with this scroll of the Yakunin Village's secret techniques, but one of the secret medicines recorded in it is highly suspicious!"

With that, Uchiha Yue unfolded the scroll of the Yakunin Village's secret techniques and placed it directly in front of Minato Namikaze, Shikaku Nara, and the others, continuing, "Look, the healing medicine recorded in the Yakunin Village's secret techniques scroll mainly uses the Dragon Orchid Grass that Mr. Mikasa's caravan is selling. That's right, Dragon Orchid Grass does have the effects of treating external injuries and reducing inflammation. Moreover, if we combine the Dragon Orchid Grass with the other medicinal herbs as described in the Yakunin Village's secret techniques scroll, the efficacy of this medicine will be even better, and it can even heal most of the injuries of our village's wounded. It is exactly the medicine we urgently need!"

Could it be...?

Just as Uchiha Yue was saying this, Shikaku Nara suddenly remembered something and interjected, "Could it be that there are any side effects from taking this secret medicine?"

"That's right!"

As soon as Shikaku Nara finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily, explaining to the puzzled group, "This secret medicine is indeed very effective, able to heal the wounded in almost the shortest time. However, if you combine the Dragon Orchid Grass with other medicinal herbs, the toxins hidden within the Dragon Orchid Grass will be activated!"

"Of course, every medicine has its side effects. The hidden toxins in the Dragon Orchid Grass have minimal harm to the human body. However, once the toxins in the Dragon Orchid Grass are activated, those injured people who have taken it will not be able to smell the Dragon Orchid Fragrance Dragon Orchid Grass for three months! As long as they can smell the Dragon Orchid Grass Dragon Orchid Fragrance, the injured people who have taken it will be unable to use Chakra for a short period of time, and the effect can even last for a whole month!"

"Let's make a bold guess: what if we really provided this secret medicine to the wounded, and the ninjas of the Yakunin Village possessed the Dragon Orchid Fragrance..."

"The consequences would be unimaginable!"

Just as Uchiha Yue was finishing his sentence, Shikaku Nara, Minato Namikaze, and Choza Akimichi, who were standing before him, all fell silent. Uchiha Yue could even clearly see that all three of them were clenching their fists, their eyes filled with rage. Then, after Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, he patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder and said, "Tsukishiro, thanks to you being here, otherwise no one would have been able to see through the Yakunin Village's insidious plot!"

"Yes, we really owe it all to Yue this time!"

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Shikaku Nara nodded in agreement, saying, "I never expected those guys from the Yakunin Village come up with such a vicious scheme! But they probably never imagined that Tsuki would see through it!" Shikaku Nara paused slightly, then continued, "It's fortunate we've uncovered their plot. However, let's not alert them yet! Minato, you take Tsuki to inspect the medicinal herbs in that Yakunin Village. I'll stay here and think of a way to deal with the Yakunin Village!"

"Good!"

Upon hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Shikaku Nara Minato Namikaze took Uchiha Yue and left for the caravan where Mikasa was. On the way to the caravan, Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze needed to calm themselves down, at least not revealing any flaws in front of Mikasa and the others, otherwise Shikaku Nara's later schemes might fail.

Immediately afterwards...

When Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze arrived at Mikasa's caravan, Minato Namikaze approached the caravan leader, Mikasa, and the two chatted pleasantly. As for Uchiha Yue, he went to the caravan and began having the caravan members open the chests to check the quality of the medicinal herbs inside.

While inspecting the medicinal herbs, Uchiha Yue that the herbs purchased by the Mikasa Caravan were not only of excellent quality, but were even of a much higher quality than ordinary Dragon Orchid Grass. However, the more this was the case, the more suspicious Uchiha Yue became of the Mikasa caravan's motives. Then, after Uchiha Yue had thoroughly inspected the herbs and had Minato Namikaze purchase all of the Mikasa Caravan's herbs, he followed Shikaku Nara Minato Namikaze's place.

"Minato, Tsuki, you're back!"

Seeing Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze return to him, Shikaku Nara's face was filled with a confident smile. He smiled at Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze and said, "I just had Choza report the plan of Yakunin Village to Lord Orochimaru. After learning about this, Lord Orochimaru is going to give Tsuki another credit and put me in full charge of the counterattack. Now, let me tell you about the plan I've devised!"

"Good!"

As soon as Shikaku Nara finished speaking, Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze nodded simultaneously.

Then, when Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze turned their gazes to Shikaku Nara slowly explained to them, "Right now, there are just too many unstable factors. We have no idea when the Yakunin Village will start a war. After all, we don't know the Yakunin Village's full plan, and we don't know how the Yakunin Village's spies will get the news of our secret medicine out."

"Therefore, my plan is to strike first and Yakunin Village!"

"Moreover, in my opinion, no one but you is capable of completing this task, Minato!"

"I?"

Upon hearing Shikaku Nara's question, Minato Namikaze first pointed to himself, then smiled and asked, "Right, Shikaku, what mission?"

"Okay, that's exactly what I was waiting for you to say!"

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Shikaku Nara smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Yue, saying, "Minato, I need you to lead a squad to harass the ninjas of Yakunin Village and Sunagakure, making them think we're going to start the war prematurely. That way, those guys from Yakunin Village and Sunagakure won't be able to predict when we'll start the war, and when they're thrown into disarray, we'll have the upper hand!"

"Only..."

At this point, Shikaku Nara hesitated for a moment before slowly revealing his concerns.

"However, I'm a little worried that Yue might not be up to the task!"
