"I don't have many Level 5 Dragon Power Pills, I only have five left from before, and not many Fourth-Grade Secret Medicines either...."
"But for Third-Grade or below Secret Medicines, there are dozens of each kind."
Uchiha Yoichi took out more than ten medicine bottles and placed them before Yamanaka Ino and Sakura.
In his original time, Third-Grade Elixirs could already be gradually manufactured via mechanization, but starting from the Fourth-Grade Elixirs, the refinements made noticeable disturbances, so they had to be crafted manually.
He'd been busy lately developing the 'Lady's Treasure', so he hasn't been crafting elixirs much. Anyway, he was already quite proficient with making those elixirs, and didn't really need to stockpile them.
"Al-Already a lot..."
Seeing these Secret Medicine jade bottles, Sakura quietly contemplated, thinking these could at least enhance the strength of the Five Kage and Mr. Sasuke, which would significantly help with the mission.
"Mr. Yoichi, can we borrow these? After the mission, Konoha will gradually return them to you...."
Hearing Sakura's words, Uchiha Yoichi tilted his head to glance at Yamanaka Ino, showing obvious concern while subtly letting Sakura notice his 'performance'.
Seeing Uchiha Yoichi's gaze, Yamanaka Ino felt shy and glared back, thinking internally about how foolish he was, making it so obvious...
"Alright, I can lend them to you now, just remember to return them after. Do you need anything else?"
Sakura nodded and said, "We need other items too, but we can directly pay for those because other Ninja Villages also need them. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Yoichi."
"It's nothing. Just pick what you need."
Uchiha Yoichi handed the Secret Medicine catalog to Sakura, letting her choose by herself.
Upon receiving the Secret Medicine catalog, Sakura immediately began calculating the required medicines based on the number of people undertaking the mission. Although medical ninjas would be present, these medicines could greatly ease their burden by quickly restoring combat strength.
While Sakura was selecting the medicines, Yamanaka Ino, with a 'gentle' smile, said to Uchiha Yoichi, "Mr. Yoichi, I have something to ask you..."
"Oh, then let's go next door, so we don't interrupt Sakura's selection..."
After he finished speaking, Uchiha Yoichi took Yamanaka Ino outside. However, Sakura, upon hearing their conversation, looked up. Once they left, she muttered to herself that the two of them were too obvious, and they hadn't disrupted her at all.
After leaving the room, Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but pinch Uchiha Yoichi's waist, angrily whispering, "Idiot, we almost got caught by Sakura. You don't have to consider my feelings for everything...."
As she finished speaking, Yamanaka Ino also felt a bit happy inside, knowing how much Uchiha Yoichi cared for her, hence his obvious behavior.
"It's just that it's been a while since you came to see me, and these days, we may have to wait several years until your son graduates from the Ninja Academy before we can...."
Uchiha Yoichi sighed, even though he had already experienced the company of Hyuga Hinata from the other side, it didn't mean he was tired of Yamanaka Ino; on the contrary, the thought of spending the night holding Yamanaka Ino brought him great joy.
"I know it's my fault... but recently it hasn't been convenient, coming frequently would arouse suspicion from others. I promise I'll make it up to you..."
Yamanaka Ino felt a pang of guilt after hearing Uchiha Yoichi's complaint of loneliness and leaned in to whisper softly in his ear.
Uchiha Yoichi sighed and said, "I understand, it's just that I miss you a lot. Once you're free again, shall we go on a hot spring trip?"
"A hot spring trip...? Alright, I'll find the time after this mission in the village concludes..."
Yamanaka Ino, realizing she hadn't visited Uchiha Yoichi often recently and considering they would have to wait until Inojin graduates before getting married, felt so guilty that she agreed to make it up to him.
Uchiha Yoichi then expressed another request, "At that time, I'd love to see Lady Ino wearing white stockings and a transparent silk dress at the hot spring, maybe even get a massage..."
"Idiot, don't push it!!"
Yamanaka Ino blushed deeply and pinched Uchiha Yoichi's waist, letting out a little huff before softly muttering, "We'll see at that time...."
"By the way, this is for you, a newly developed Secret Medicine, the Upper Ninja Pill."
Uchiha Yoichi handed a jade bottle to Yamanaka Ino, then continued, "I know quite a bit about ninjas; a Jonin is considered a decision-maker in a Ninja Village, and they possess ample Chakra.
This Upper Ninja Pill should enable a normal person to have a Jonin's Chakra, and if you take it, it can double your Chakra... and it's permanent!"
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Is this true? If my Chakra doubled, I'd be one of the prominent ones among the Jonins..."
Her Chakra was not abundant but on par with an average Jonin. If it doubled, her strength would significantly increase, and it would be permanent.
Yamanaka Ino never thought Uchiha Yoichi would lie to her; she just found it hard to believe.
Uchiha Yoichi explained, "Of course it's true, and the greater the Chakra of the person who takes it, the better the effects. Even if someone has no Chakra but only Life Energy, taking it can still double it. You can try it later."
"I've made my choice..."
Sakura's voice suddenly emerged from inside, startling Yamanaka Ino. She quickly put away the jade bottle into her pocket before separating from Uchiha Yoichi.
Once Sakura came out, Uchiha Yoichi calmly asked, "Have you made your selection? Let me see... This much? If you said it was to start a war, I would believe it. Konoha won't be caught in this, right?"
Sakura explained with a smile, "Of course not, don't worry. It's just for an outbound mission..."
Then Uchiha Yoichi handed all the Secret Medicine to Sakura, and after she signed the purchase contract, they had accomplished their mission.
After acquiring the Storage Scroll in her hands, Sakura felt relieved, not expecting it to be so easy, realizing bringing Ino was the right decision.
"Thank you, Mr. Yoichi. The money will be sent with the other Ninja Villages' payments."
Sakura thanked him with a smile, and with nothing else to do, both women prepared to leave. Yamanaka Ino, although wishing to stay longer with Uchiha Yoichi, knew she shouldn't linger since she came with Sakura.
After leaving Yoichi Pharmacy, the two headed towards the Hokage Building. However, once outside, both fell silent, unsure what to say.
After walking for a while, Sakura suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Ino, it went so smoothly this time, all thanks to you..."
