"A newly formed consciousness still wants to resist..."
Uchiha Yoichi held the Chakra Fruit in his hand, shaking his head with amusement; he noticed the Ten-tails' plan, wanting to use the Chakra Fruit as the core to grow a more perfect body once again.
After transforming back into the Divine Tree and growing the Chakra Fruit, all the energy converged into the Chakra Fruit. If the Ten-tails succeeded, it might grow a new form with power similar to Otsutsuki Isshiki.
However, before it could take any action, the entire Divine Tree was cut to pieces by Uchiha Yoichi.
Aside from the Chakra Fruit, nothing else was preserved. Fortunately, the energy of the Divine Tree had gathered in the Chakra Fruit. As for the Ten-tails' shell... it was of no importance to Uchiha Yoichi.
"If I consume it, I should obtain some kind of Divine Technique... However, refining an elixir might work too, as long as the medicinal effects of the Chakra Fruit are largely retained..."
Uchiha Yoichi thought about the Divine Tree he still had and made up his mind.
However, refining elixirs is definitely a laborious task and can't be completed in a short time, and some matters in Konoha Village need to be handled first.
————————————
"Still not back yet..."
Sakura arrived at Yoichi Pharmacy and found the door locked, sighed, and turned to head towards Konoha Hospital.
Ten days ago, after learning about the Upper Ninja Pill from Ino, Sakura told Naruto. After discussing with them for a short while, she left the Hokage Building to find Uchiha Yoichi.
But at that time, Uchiha Yoichi was no longer in Konoha.
In the days that followed, Sakura would drop by every few days, not just because of the Upper Ninja Pill. Other ninja villages also wanted to commission Konoha to purchase more Secret Medicine.
In a Different Space-Time, it was thanks to the Secret Medicine that the Elite Jonin of various villages could hold off Jigen and save the Five Kage.
The effects of Uchiha Yoichi's Secret Medicine were well understood by the major ninja villages. Being life-saving items without side effects, everyone wanted them.
And then there's the Upper Ninja Pill. Sakura touched her forehead in frustration; that miraculous elixir was a nuisance. Tsunade-sensei wanted to study it once she heard about it, but Sakura didn't have such Secret Medicine and had to come by occasionally.
However, the effects of the Upper Ninja Pill were indeed extremely powerful. Yamanaka Ijin's Chakra increase lasted for four days before dissipating, and his body was comprehensively enhanced several times. Even without combat experience, he could match a Chunin instructor.
His practical class scores jumped from the bottom of the class to the top.
"Forget it; I'll come back next time..."
Just as Sakura was about to leave, she suddenly saw Uchiha Yoichi appear from the other side of the street, walking towards her. So she quickly walked up with delight to greet him.
"Mr. Yoichi, you're finally back."
"Oh, it's Sakura. I had some matters to attend to out of town lately, are you looking for me?"
Uchiha Yoichi said as he walked towards Yoichi Pharmacy, with Sakura following beside him, apparently wanting to go inside to talk.
Back at the pharmacy, Uchiha Yoichi casually prepared two cups of tea and placed them in front of Sakura, then asked, "Is there anything you need?"
"Actually, it's about the Upper Ninja Pill, and other ninja villages want to purchase more...."
Sakura didn't intend to beat around the bush and spoke directly; having dealt with Uchiha Yoichi a few times, she knew how to converse with him.
"The second is possible, but the first is not."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "The Upper Ninja Pill is a Sixth-Grade Secret Medicine. I only refined one, and it's already with Ino. The precious materials required are too numerous. I don't even intend to make a second one.... But the effect indeed seems great, otherwise, you all wouldn't be so eager to find me."
"Additionally, the Upper Ninja Pill is way too precious. Even if I had a second one, you couldn't afford it, so forget about it."
Although he still had one Upper Ninja Pill, there was no way he'd sell it to Konoha. Keeping it for his children would be better, as Konoha couldn't offer anything in exchange... except for the women.
Hearing Uchiha Yoichi's direct refusal, Sakura forced a smile, but inwardly she thought, how could he give such a precious Secret Medicine to Ino so easily, these two...
"Regarding the first matter, how much do you want? Does Konoha want any this time?"
"Konoha... not for now, it's mainly other ninja villages."
After Sakura spoke, she took out a prepared list and handed it to Uchiha Yoichi; the debt from the last purchase by Konoha hadn't been settled, and the village funds were insufficient, at least until Naruto discussed it with the Daimyo for further purchases.
"Understood, tomorrow... or the day after, come by the day after tomorrow to collect it."
"Eh? Mr. Yoichi, are you going out again tomorrow?"
"Sort of, I have to go for a shoot tomorrow."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "I took a ten-day leave, and the film crew has been pushing me a lot."
Upon hearing this, Sakura knew what Uchiha Yoichi was talking about and smiled, "I almost forgot you're a big star; the series you filmed with Hinata is really popular, even my daughter started watching it!"
"Your daughter? If you have time, Sakura, you should watch too and give me some feedback on my acting..."
Uchiha Yoichi and Sakura chatted a bit more before he stood up to see her off.
This time, Uchiha Yoichi had a significant harvest. The Chakra Fruit wasn't destroyed by his refining; after consumption, it not only gave him a new Divine Technique but also significantly increased his Life Energy.
Equivalent to taking hundreds or thousands of Upper Ninja Pills.
After refining the Chakra Elixir in seven days and consuming it, Uchiha Yoichi spent another three days familiarizing himself with the power and abilities, staying outside for ten days in total.
As for the newly acquired Divine Technique, Uchiha Yoichi found it incredibly powerful.
Transformation!
It allows non-living things to transform into other substances and creates a field similar to Yomi Tsu ze Watari, where as long as Uchiha Yoichi has Chakra, he is nearly invincible.
Fire can transform into flowing water, lightning into a gentle breeze, and even an enemy's weapon can instantly become sand.
This is the new Divine Technique Uchiha Yoichi acquired!
"The Chakra Fruit from Otsutsuki indeed greatly aids in life evolution. If one could consume ten Chakra Fruits, what level would one evolve to... What about a hundred..."
Uchiha Yoichi pondered, becoming more tempted the more he thought.
However, it wasn't long before Uchiha Yoichi shook his head. Gathering two Chakra Fruits was already so difficult. Even though he now had the ability to travel the cosmos, he hadn't the intention.
His family couldn't be left behind, and he hadn't had enough enjoyment yet. If worst comes to worst, there's always the parallel dimension method. Traveling the cosmos to find other life planets would be the last resort.
