Uchiha Yi looked toward the small pool nearby. It was filled with a viscous liquid containing an extremely dense concentration of natural energy.
"This is a specialty of Shikkotsu Forest. You can take some with you when you leave. Once diluted, it can be used for beauty treatments to brighten and moisturize the skin. It makes a fine gift for girls. That child Tsunade takes some with her from time to time," the Slug Sage said generously. After a pause, she added, "
