Feudal Lord looked at Obito and the pink potion in his hand with a strange expression. He hesitated for a while and whispered, "Are you really here to sell medicine?" "Actually not." Obito's face was upright and awe-inspiring, with a faint divine light. "I am worried about your health Feudal Lord, so I specially sent you the magic health medicine."

Feudal Lord twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that the person in front of him might be thicker-skinned than him, but he also saw that these two people had no murderous intention, so he relaxed and said softly, "Are you from the Uchiha Clan?"

"Not bad." Obito nodded with a warm smile on his face. He waved his hand and an iron cage appeared on the table with a white mouse in it.

"I believe you have also heard of Four-Piece Potion Set refined from the Uchiha Clan. Our quality is trustworthy."

Obito said as he poured a bottle of pink medicine into the mouth of the white mouse. After a while, the white mouse's hair stood on end and it ran around in the cage excitedly.

Feudal Lord looked at the crotch of the white mouse and felt a little inferior, and asked hopefully, "Is it really useful?"

"Of course, it's non-toxic, has no side effects, and is strong and long-lasting!" The smile on Obito's face became more enthusiastic. With a wave of his hand, a box of ten potions appeared on the low table. He introduced, "Pink strengthens the kidneys, has quick effects and lasts for a long time; blue nourishes the body and strengthens the body."

Feudal Lord imagined himself becoming a warrior, swallowed hard, and said happily, "I bought it!"

"No, this is for you." Obito smiled and shook his head, pointing to the identity token on Feudal Lord's waist. "It's just that I hope Feudal Lord can do a small favor. We have to go to other nobles to promote it, so there will be conflicts. I hope to borrow Feudal Lord's identity token for use."

The identity token is a confidential thing. Feudal Lord was just about to refuse when he noticed the ninjas lying on the ground around him and nodded helplessly.

Land of Fire Guodu, Obito and Uchiha Itachi were walking on the streets, looking at the bustling scene around them.

It was the first time for Uchiha Itachi to travel far away. His eyes were full of curiosity and he exclaimed, "It's so impressive. It's much bigger than our Hidden Leaf Village."

"Then do you think Hidden Leaf Village or the capital is better?"

"Of course Hidden Leaf Village is good"

"Why?" Obito looked into Uchiha Itachi's eyes with a meaningful expression.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said seriously, "Because I was born in Hidden Leaf Village, and my relatives and friends are also in Hidden Leaf Village."

"Very good!" Obito patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said with admiration in his voice, "You can think of this, which means Song of Filial Piety did not copy it in vain during this period."

"But in my opinion, the biggest reason why Hidden Leaf Village makes so many ninjas willing to die is because of its relatively fair system."

"A relatively fair system?" Uchiha Itachi sounded a little confused.

"Yes, even if it is dark and dirty inside, at least it is bright and fair on the surface. If I take you to a place, you will understand." Obito looked at the bustling surroundings, smiled sarcastically, and led Uchiha Itachi in another direction.

As far as the eye can see, there are low and dilapidated huts and civilians with disheveled faces everywhere. A huge mountain of garbage stands here, emitting a stench.

"What did you see?" Obito's eyes were a little complicated, and he took out a handful of candies from his arms and gave them to the children who were surrounding him.

"I..." Uchiha Itachi was a little shocked. The numb eyes and lifeless looks of the civilians around him gave him a huge impact.

"Why is this happening? Isn't this the capital of the country? Moreover, we saw another city that was so prosperous before. Why?" Uchiha Itachi clenched his hands tightly, with confusion written on his face.

"This is class. Over there are the nobles and relatively wealthy commoners, and the people over here are called untouchables." Obito glanced around, looking at the evasive and fearful eyes of these people, and felt a little depressed.

"Why is this happening!" Uchiha Itachi murmured blankly, looking at the children who were as old as him, with bare feet and tattered clothes, looking for scattered useful things in the garbage like wild dogs on the street.

"This is reality." Obito touched Uchiha Itachi's head comfortingly, and his tone was full of emotion. "So, I think Hidden Leaf Village has its advanced side, but you can't limit your vision to Konoha."

"The world is big and cruel. If you want to change everything, you can't limit your sights to the Uchiha Clan or Konoha."

"You have to think that there may be many children your age in the world who starve to death on the streets or freeze to death in winter. Many of them cannot even have a full meal or wear a complete set of clothes."

"Then what should we do?" The light in Uchiha Itachi's eyes was brighter than ever before, staring closely at Obito's face.

"Why do you think they can't eat?" Obito pointed around. Most of these civilians were thin and their faces were pressed tightly against their bones.

Uchiha Itachi frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Because there is not enough food grown in the ground."

"This is just part of it." Obito raised two fingers, looked at Uchiha Itachi, and said emphatically, "Insufficient productivity and the system of exploitation and oppression have resulted in them not even being able to eat enough."

"So what we have to do is develop advanced productive forces and reform the system."

Uchiha Itachi nodded vigorously and walked to the street on the side, where a little girl was crying.

"Give" Uchiha Itachi handed all the dry food he had to the little girl, trying his best to put a smile on his face.

At this time, Obito grabbed Uchiha Itachi's hand, looked at his doubtful eyes, smiled and shook his head.

"Take as much as you can." Obito opened the bag and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you" the little girl responded timidly, holding a large piece of dried meat in each hand and devouring it.

"You will only harm her if you give her this dry food." Obito threw the remaining dried meat to Uchiha Itachi, pointing at the children who were peeking over here. "Give it to them and watch them eat it."

"Oh" Uchiha Itachi suddenly understood, and ran to the side to distribute the dry food to the greedy children.

After a while, Uchiha Itachi came back with a happy face, and Obito handed Feudal Lord's identity token to him.

"Teacher, what is this?" Uchiha Itachi held the token and sounded confused.

"Itachi, you are very kind!"

"But you are still too young and have too little experience. It is easy to be misled and let this kindness go astray."

"So" Obito suppressed the evil smile on his face and said righteously, "I decided to let you promote Mighty Man Potion by yourself. How knowledgeable you are."

"Ah!" Uchiha Clan looked at the disappearing figure of Obito, his face a little confused, thinking of those wild and unruly mice, leaving two lines of regretful tears in his eyes.

"I'm so stupid, really. If I didn't become a disciple, I wouldn't..."
