The Ninja World briefly returned to peace. After four days of recovery and treatment at Konoha, most of the ninjas' injuries from the other four ninja villages had healed enough for them to start their journey back to their respective villages.
The Five Great Ninja Villages are currently helpless, with two factions of enemies, neither of which they can locate.
There are some clues about the Shell Organization, at least they know who is behind it, and have even located its base, having engaged with it.
Although defeated by Jigen, it's not impossible to search for them!
As for the users of Kamui Mangekyo and Tenseigan, the Five Great Ninja Villages are at a loss.
There is absolutely no intelligence, and they don't know where to begin the investigation. Even from Victor, no intelligence can be obtained. When the user of Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan appears, there are no signs, making it completely unpredictable.
As long as the Kamui Clone and Tenseigan Clone don't actively show themselves, the people from the Five Great Ninja Villages would never find Uchiha Yoichi's two clones.
Moreover, the Tenseigan Clone is now a famous big merchant in the Land of Fire and even throughout the Ninja World, with Orange Phones booming across the Ninja World in just a few months.
"Let's stay quiet for a while... Let the Kamui Clone continue to monitor and investigate the whereabouts of Otsutsuki Isshiki. The most important task right now is to deal with the Ten-tails."
After pondering for a long time, Uchiha Yoichi made up his mind internally that the longer the Ten-tails matter drags on, the higher its evolution level will be.
Let's postpone the Artificial Divine Tree for a while. Once the Otsutsuki Clone is cultivated, deal with Jigen, the Ten-tails first.

Several months later
"Ijin, I came across this secret medicine by chance. While it can give you very strong chakra, you absolutely must not rely on it in the future, or mom will definitely not let you off!"
Yamanaka Ino seriously instructed, as promoting excessive growth was not her intention. However, seeing Ijin's grades fall due to her, and even his character becoming somewhat silent, left Ino feeling uncomfortable.
After much thought, and even consulting Uchiha Yoichi several times, Yamanaka Ino decided to let Ijin take the Upper Ninja Pill.
With the chakra of a Jonin, at least Yamanaka Ijin's practical performance at the Ninja School improved significantly.
Having more chakra doesn't necessarily enhance strength greatly but ensures the chakra amount is enough for releasing thirty jutsus instead of just four or five.
Yamanaka Ijin tilted his head and said, "Mom, can I not take this? I don't care even if my grades are a bit poor. I'll train slowly in the future."
"If you don't want to take it, mom won't force you. It's just for you to decide... Recently, your grades have dropped drastically, attracting a lot of discussions, right?"
Seeing Ijin's expression, Yamanaka Ino roughly guessed what he was thinking, sighed softly, and said, "Ijin, you don't need to worry about matters between your parents. We have our ways to deal with it, but regardless, we love you..."
This sentence instantly silenced the words Yamanaka Ijin wanted to say. He realized that it was the strained relationship between his parents that troubled him, leading to his poor grades.
Originally, he hoped to use this situation to ease the relationship between his parents, but Yamanaka Ijin didn't expect Ino had already figured it out.
"Really not going to take it? If not, I'll take it back...."
"Yes!"
After hesitating for a while, Yamanaka Ijin agreed, not wanting to miss the opportunity to enhance his power despite worrying about his parents' troubled relationship and often losing to classmates due to lack of training.
"Then take it now, just in time for me to watch over you!"
Yamanaka Ino said to Ijin, as she too could perform medical ninjutsu and believed Mr. Yoichi's secret medicine wouldn't harm Ijin.
"Does this strange secret medicine really have such strong effects?"
"Alright, hurry up and take it. Would mom ever harm you!"
Urged, Ijin immediately swallowed the secret medicine Upper Ninja Pill, quickly feeling it dissolve as a cool liquid running into his stomach.
Before he could react, Yamanaka Ijin suddenly felt his chakra rapidly increasing.
Boom!
The rapidly surging chakra even caused an air wave, with a chakra resembling blue flames appearing around Yamanaka Ijin.
Seeing this, Yamanaka Ino hurriedly asked, "Ijin, how are you?"
"No...nothing, it's fine...."
Looking at his hands, Yamanaka Ijin continued saying to Yamanaka Ino, "No, mom, it feels quite good, how come my chakra has increased so much....and continues to grow!"
The Upper Ninja Pill, improved from the Sixth-Grade Fighting Spirit Pill, contained extremely pure Stone of Nature as energy, with Uchiha Yoichi's blood as harmony, and many precious medicinal materials.
The effect was surprisingly good, exceeding Uchiha Yoichi's expectations, directly multiplying Yamanaka Ijin's chakra by more than tenfold. In Yamanaka Ino's perception, her chakra was way below Ijin.
Moreover, the surge of chakra improved Yamanaka Ijin's body and spirit, being a permanent benefit. Even if this surge of chakra slowly dissipates, Yamanaka Ijin could refine it anytime, with his body gradually strengthening several times.
After one or two minutes, the chakra flames surrounding Yamanaka Ijin gradually calmed down, feeling extraordinarily comfortable, as if his body kept strengthening every second, with chakra continuously emerging from within without needing refinement.
Unable to grasp the situation, Yamanaka Ino took Yamanaka Ijin to Konoha Hospital and asked Sakura to conduct an examination.
After two hours of blood tests and cell checks, Yamanaka Ijin finally felt that unusual feeling vanish.
Once Sakura had the results, she asked in surprise, "Ino, what happened to Ijin? His cells are now unusually active, with regenerating abilities far surpassing the standards of ordinary people, and his chakra has increased so much....."
"Ijin took a secret medicine.... It's the Upper Ninja Pill researched by Mr. Yoichi, meant to permanently increase a Jonin's chakra significantly. He gave me one last time, and recently, Ijin's practical performance dropped severely...."
After hesitating a little, Yamanaka Ino shared the matter of the Upper Ninja Pill with Sakura.
"Ijin's condition isn't bad; there's not a single issue, just a bit overly healthy..... Just eat normally and train once you return."
After discussing Ijin's issues, Sakura asked with a scrutinizing smile, "What's the Upper Ninja Pill? Ino, we're good friends; you wouldn't hide this from me, right? What grade of secret medicine is it? I've never heard of it before? Was it given only to you?"
"Moreover, is there something going on between you two? Ino, I've noticed for a while now, just be honest!"
Sakura's scrutinizing gaze swept back and forth over Yamanaka Ino, thinking about the dream she had, too real, with Yamanaka Ino and Uchiha Yoichi repeatedly appearing in her dreams, even several times on her bed....there was definitely something odd between them!
