Konoha, Hokage building.
"Lady Tsunade, Hokage He is busy--please allow me to inform you first, Lady Tsunade--"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was lowering his head to approve documents when he heard a commotion outside the door, and then with a bang, his office door was roughly pushed open by a figure.
The visitor didn't even bother to knock on the door.
Looking at the entire village, there are not many people who can do this kind of thing.
Because everyone still respects him as a movie star.
"Tsunade--When did you come back?"
However, when Sarutobi saw the person walking in clearly, he looked a little surprised.
It turned out to be Tsunade, one of Konoha Sannin's disciples who had been traveling for many years and did not know where he was.
They often receive some messages about Tsunade.
But--the content of the news--is basically related to gambling.
Although Tsunade's intrusion seemed a bit rude, she still respected her teacher very much, but it seemed that something had happened - she was a little anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Sarutobi also knew his apprentice very well, squinting his eyes.
"Old man - look at this." Tsunade couldn't help but put something in his hand on the table.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked it up and found it was a paper bag with the word "sand" on it.
He peeled off the unrefined packaging and saw a pill.
"This is--"
"Sunagakure's masterpiece."
Tsunade answered.
"A masterpiece?"
Sarutobi was a little surprised.
"A solid medicine - I found it when I was traveling around a small country. It is a medicine to drive away wind and cold. There are other medicines here -" Tsunade said, taking out some more medicine bags, "Most of these are used to treat some folk diseases - the medicine is very effective and has been sold well in many small countries and villages."
"Hmm--"
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes after hearing this.
Immediately aware of the problem, Sunagakure actually researched this kind of thing quietly, and has already started cooperation with the outside world.
This is not like the Sunagakure he knows. When did Sunagakure become so slippery in trading?
As old rivals, Konoha and Sunagakure also have a certain understanding of each other.
"What's the problem?"
However, Sarutobi has not yet realized the seriousness. He only thinks that Sunagakure is trying to make a change to increase income.
After all, Konoha also knows about Sunagakure's economic situation.
"When I say that the medicine is amazingly effective, I mean that the effect of this pill is far beyond what our village can achieve - and some of the medicines are specially used to treat trauma and can significantly improve the recovery of injuries. I inquired about this medicine and found that many countries and villages have purchased this medicine - to put it bluntly, it is a medicine specially used for war!" Tsunade emphasized with a serious look on his face.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids jumped.
Then, Tsunade specially found someone to try out Sunagakure's external medicine for wound treatment in front of the third generation. Although it only made a very shallow cut on the skin, after applying the medicine, the wound healed in a short time.
"This--"
This scene immediately made Sarutobi understand where the problem Tsunade mentioned was.
I finally understood why my apprentice suddenly returned to the village.
They Konoha were completely unaware of Sunagakure's activities in Shinobi World--
"Sunagakure The only outstanding medical ninja is Chiyo--but if you want to make this kind of medicine, there are still so many categories, and it has nothing to do with medical ninjas. Instead, you need to have rich knowledge reserves and research experience in pharmacological research--"
The master and the apprentice were not overjoyed to meet again after a long time, but only had thoughts about the position of the village.
"With the support of this kind of drug resources - not to mention how much Sunagakure's economy will be improved, once the war starts again, their village's army can rely on these drugs to achieve a qualitative change in military power on the battlefield!"
After talking for a long time, Tsunade sat down on his seat with a solemn expression.
No one knew how shocked she was when she discovered these medicines. As a medical ninja, she could see the intention behind Sunagakure's actions from its trading activities.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked heavily.
He still managed to remain calm.
But fell into silence.
The reconstruction of Konoha has been over a long time ago. It has been several years since the last Shinobi World war ended - the manpower shortage and the lost energy during the war have also been restored.
Especially the rise of some juniors makes him, as Hokage, feel very pleased.
You must know that Konoha is different from Sunagakure. After the Shinobi World war, I heard that Sunagakure also terminated the battlefield with Iwagakure and Kirigakure one after another, and things were relatively quiet.
But they Konoha can't really get along with the outside world, and they are always being harassed on a small scale by some villages.
Fortunately, a Shinobi World war cost many villages a lot of energy, and even if there were some moves, it would not be big.
Overall, it has entered a relatively stable and peaceful time.
Who?
What Hiruzen Sarutobi considers is who has the ability to make such a big deal in Sunagakure.
According to the village's information, there seemed to be civil strife in Sunagakure some time ago - it took less than a year for it to be completely settled.
In this state, Sunagakure actually still had the energy to figure out such a huge industry that could save the village from disaster.
"Where did they get the money?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath of smoke, and thoughts continued in his mind.
Among Five Great Shinobi Villages, through the intelligence collection and analysis of Konoha, Sunagakure is temporarily considered to be the party with the least potential threat - if this is done, something is wrong.
"We Konoha must move quickly - if Sunagakure achieves his goal, then -" Tsunade, who was sitting opposite Sarutobi, said in a deep voice.
The reason why she was so anxious was not because she was jealous of Sunagakure making money, but because she accurately captured Sunagakure's intention of provoking a war.
She felt that Sunagakure might be making some kind of preparation now that the stall was so big -
Although she was tired of war and could not set foot on the battlefield herself, she could not sit idly by when the safety of the village was concerned.
"Who? In your opinion, who Sunagakure has the ability to develop this medicine?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade. In fact, when he asked this question, a name had already appeared in his mind.
It's just that I don't want to believe it.
"Who else could it be? It's definitely not Chiyo. If she had such ability, Sunagakure wouldn't be what she is now. She can only be a rising star of the new generation."
"Blood doctor Yubi."
Tsunade spits out a name.
She has communicated with the caravan selling drugs and has confirmed some information.
"It's him--"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart moved.
Since the end of Second Shinobi World War, Sunagakure is one of the twin stars that suddenly emerged.
Not only is he a medical ninja, but he is also one of the top combat powers of Sunagakure, that young genius.
He is also the owner of Kekkei Genkai.
We are no strangers to blood doctors Yubi and Konoha.
After all, that little guy also had some dealings with Konoha, and he started to stand out in Shinobi World through their Konoha.
However, it has been so long since the Shinobi World war ended. As Shinobi World tends to stabilize, Konoha no longer causes any major friction with Sunagakure - time can make people gradually forget some things.
Therefore, the name of blood doctor Yubi has been forgotten a little bit.
Not many people know or can remember this little guy at once.
"To be honest - I really didn't expect Sunagakure to be able to do this."
"Sure enough, you are getting older and you are a little behind the times--"
Sarutobi blew out a puff of smoke and laughed at himself.
Then, he glanced at the medicine bag on the table in front of him, then looked up at Tsunade, "This matter - I can only leave it to you."
"Go back to the village - the village needs you now."
"I'll try my best - give it a try."
Tsunade's reply is not that confident.
Sarutobi smiled slightly.
Looking at it this way, Sunagakure's sudden fortune is not a bad thing - at least it helped Konoha temporarily invite Tsunade back who had been wandering around.
