Konoha, Akimichi Clan land, the master's martial arts field.
The morning air is filled with the Akimichi Clan's unique aroma of barbecue fat.
"Boom!"
A deafening muffled sound suddenly exploded from the center of the school ground. The hard granite ground, which was half a meter wide and thick, sunk into a large pit half a meter deep in the cracks visible to the naked eye.
Chōza Akimichi withdrew his fist that was emitting a faint white smoke and looked down at his metacarpal bones.
Multi-Size Technique is not enabled.
The calorie burst secret method accumulated by the family was not used.
Just an ordinary straight punch.
"Clan... Patriarch, is this really a punch that you didn't use Chakra?" Torifu Akimichi, the family elder responsible for recording data, stood next to him, holding a stopwatch and a slate in his hands, his eyes widened, and he even forgot to wipe the oil stars on his beard.
Chōza slowly exhaled a deep breath, and the veins on his arms squirmed like small snakes, and then disappeared under the skin.
"Pure physical exertion." Chōza said in a deep voice, with unbelievable horror in his eyes. "Three days ago, I asked three Special Jōnin and five Chunin to try one of the first batch of strengthening potions that I received from Minister Senju Chen."
"What's the result?" The Akimichi owner Jonin who gathered around swallowed his saliva and even held his breath.
"The baseline strength value has increased by 20%, and the muscle tissue has increased by 2.5 times. The most terrifying thing is that the loss rate of Chakra's conversion and absorption has dropped by 30%!"
Chōza When he said this, he couldn't help but shiver.
Akimichi Clan's secret technique relies entirely on eating. What you eat is converted into fat, and then the fat is converted into Chakra through secret methods. There is a loss of up to 50%, which has been a pain point for the Akimichi Clan throughout the ages.
But after drinking that light green strengthening potion for just one day, the speed of digestion and muscle synthesis in the stomach was like a new set of internal organs.
"Then... how much is the price for Minister Senju?" The elder's voice even trembled.
Chōza stretched out three thick fingers.
"Three hundred thousand taels? It's not expensive!" The elder breathed a sigh of relief.
"Three hundred thousand taels is the deposit for one pill, and the actual price of the whole set of medicine is one million taels!" Chōza's face turned red, and he lowered his voice and cursed, "Three hundred thousand taels is just the ticket to queue up! The first batch of quotas in the village is only two hundred pills, and we, Akimichi Clan, relied on my old face to forcefully deduct sixty pills from Minister Chen!"
The martial arts arena fell into a deathly silence.
A set of one million taels!
Sixty sticks is 20 million taels!
This is equivalent to the net turnover of the Akimichi Clan for three full months!
"Patriarch, this deal... we won't lose money, right?" a young Jonin asked in a low voice.
"Loss?" Chōza slapped the young man on the back of the head with his backhand, making him stagger, "Idiot! Senju Chen That boy is Senju Clan's only male, Medical Department is even more popular now. From raw materials to craftsmanship, this potion is unique to Shinobi World! I even suspect that this is the blood transformation prescription left by Master First Hokage Hashirama Senju during his lifetime!"
Chōza's eyes flashed with shrewdness like an old fox. "I dare to use Akimichi Clan's signature guarantee. In less than half a month, the entire Konoha ninja clan will be crazy about this batch of potions! This afternoon, transfer all the cash in the clan treasury and personally deliver it to me, Konoha Public Security Department Senju Chen Minister's desk!"
"Yes!"
The spread of the storm never depends on human will.
Although Konoha occupies a vast area, the eyes and ears among the top ninjas are better than those of Intelligence Division's ninja pigeons.
Three days later, Konoha East District Exercise Ground.
During daily sparring, several Chunins of the Akimichi Clan used the pure strength of one hand to pin the large Ninja Dog that Inuzuka Clan had bitten to the ground, unable to move;
Two days later, an Akimichi Clan Special Jōnin was performing a B-level border clearance mission when he received a powerful and heavy Wind Release: Great Breakthrough from a wandering ninja. He was just shaken, without even a scratch on his chest, and he slapped the enemy deep into the tree trunk with a backhand slap.
The news is like wings, with the Konoha Medical Department as the center, radiating crazily outward.
"Have you heard? Akimichi Clan's overall strength has skyrocketed in the past few days!"
"How could you not know? The fat guy next door to me was at the bottom of the physical fitness test a few days ago. Yesterday he uprooted an old willow tree at the training ground!"
"What magic medicine did Medical Department produce? What is it called...'Gene Enhancement Solution No. 1'?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, that is a top-secret project led by Minister Senju Chen and signed by Lady Tsunade himself!"
There were whispers everywhere in Konoha's teahouses, taverns, and training grounds.
Rumors are like wildfire, burning the eyes of every power-hungry ninja. In the jungle of Shinobi World, a drug that can directly strengthen physical and neurological reactions without risk and at zero cost is no different than gold falling from the sky!
Konoha Hokage Building, elder core meeting room.
The heavy wooden door was ajar, and the sunlight filtered through the blinds and cut pale white gratings on the smooth floor.
Smoke billows.
Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his pipe, his face looking dim in the blue-gray smoke. To his right, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked solemn, each holding a financial list and pharmaceutical composition analysis stamped with the Medical Department in their hands.
"Pah!"
Utatane Koharu slammed the list in the center of the conference table, his shriveled jaw twitched slightly, and his cloudy eyes flashed with unabashed sharp questions.
"Tsunade! One million taels for a set of potions, Medical Department are you trying to steal money!"
Utatane Koharu's voice was as harsh as a dry branch breaking. "A set of medicines with a unit price of one million taels, and it's only been seven days, and Medical Department already has a full 200 million taels of cash on his books! Two hundred million taels! Akimichi Clan, Inuzuka Clan, and even people from the Hyuga Clan sent stewards to line up to hand out notes! Why didn't this money go into the village's public accounts, but all went into the special R&D fund of the Medical Department?!"
Mitokado Homura pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although his tone was gentle, his words were as sharp as a knife. "More importantly. Tsunade, our consultant Council of Elders sent experts from Anbu's medical class to Extract the sample and try to reverse engineer it, but what is the result? There is a special active protease inside the medicine that is retrieved. As long as it comes into contact with air or is injected with Chakra other than Senju Clan, the medicine will instantly self-destruct and degrade into ordinary distilled water."
Mitokado Homura raised his head and looked directly at Tsunade: "This method is too mature. It is not as mature as a newly developed medicine. Shouldn't Medical Department give the village an explanation for this matter?"
