Chapter 33 Stalemate

In the evening, the setting sun illuminates the village.

The barking of cats and dogs was heard in the village.

The sound of children laughing and playing, the darkening sky and the smoke from the cooking pots make it look like a fairyland in a dream.

Cooking smoke is a reflection of life and a bond of emotion. It will always be the concern in the ninja's dream, and it will always be the call of his family.

On the dining table in Uchiha Toshiro's home at Uchiha's residence in Konoha Hidden Village.

"How's it going? Sister Meixiang, does it taste good?"

In my previous life, I lived alone for a long time. Tired of eating from street stalls, he had to do it himself to satisfy his increasingly delicate stomach. Although his cooking skills are not as good as those of professional chefs in big hotels, they are just a few simple home-cooked dishes.

It's a no brainer for him.

"It's quite delicious! I didn't expect Toshiro to be so talented in cooking!"

Stopping the chopsticks in her hands, Uchiha Mika looked at the young man across the dining table and couldn't help but let go of her worries.

Just like a young man worried that his own existence would drag down the life events of his 'aunt'. It is true that Uchiha Mika has some restraint on her emotional problems. On the one hand, it is certainly the shyness unique to girls. On the other hand, Toshiro's existence is also an important factor.

"Sister Mei Xiang looks very tired today. Is it because of the new medicine? The clan does not agree to promote it?"

Just using his brain a little, Toshiro roughly guessed the whole story, but it was slightly different from what he imagined.

"There is no problem on the family side, but the problem is on the village side. The village hopes that the family will only be responsible for the production of this new drug, and leave all the procurement and sales of raw materials to them!"

For the money, I have poured my efforts in the past two years into a new drug. Uchiha Mika originally had great expectations, hoping to use it to improve the relationship between the village and her family, and to save the lives of more companions.

But things went counterproductive, and the family was convinced according to Toshiro's rhetoric. But there was a problem in the village. The rift between the village and the family seems difficult to mend...

[Should only the family be responsible for production? This is not the bottom of the so-called ‘smile’ curve in the previous life. It looks too ugly when eaten. After all, this new drug was also developed by Uchiha. 】

"He even proposed that he could spend a large amount of money to buy the formula of this new drug from Uchiha..."

[This is even more nonsense. Why did Uchiha agree to promote this new drug? I hope to use this new medicine to re-establish contacts with the big and small families in the village and restore the family’s terrible ‘reputation’ among the villagers~]

"Several elders in the family did not agree, and they even had a big fight in the office of Clan Chief Chongshan..."

Seeing Uchiha Mika, her eyes looked slightly gloomy. Toshiro couldn't help but secretly blame himself for coming up with some bad idea. It’s better to do less than to do more. This is indeed a wise saying.

"Sister Meixiang, is there any response from the medical department?"

"Hey! The medical department? They ordered a batch of new medicines over there, but the quantity is not large!"

She didn't react to Toshiro's sudden question for a moment, and she thought about it briefly in her mind before answering.

"Then there's no problem! With the help of the medical department, it won't be too difficult to promote this new drug."

"It's not that simple. Without the help of the village, it would be very difficult for the family to promote this medicine alone!"

Thinking of her family's dismal 'reputation' in the village, Uchiha Mika said almost pessimistically.

"It's enough with the help of the medical department!"

The medical department usually treats wounded soldiers who have been removed from the battlefield or during missions. Anyone with a slightly more serious injury would not be able to survive in Konoha, let alone be sent to the medical department for treatment.

"Sister Meixiang, do you think the ninjas in Konoha Village are afraid of death?"

Uchiha Toshiro asked confidently.

"fear death?"

Hear the question.

She was a little confused for a moment.

Are the ninjas in the village afraid of death? Not afraid, to protect the village. The First Ninja War, the Second Ninja War, whether it's a village or a family. A famous ninja went to the battlefield one after another to protect the village and peace and never returned to Konoha.

Aren't you afraid? As a medical ninja, although her surname was Uchiha, she not only treated Uchiha ninjas, but also many companions in the village. There are successes and of course there are failures. No matter what the surname is, whenever there is a wounded person who cannot hold on, the nostalgia and reluctance are revealed in his eyes before parting. This deeply touched her, an outsider she knew or didn't know. That is the husband that every wife waits for, that is the father that every child worships.

Seeing the confused expression of his 'aunt', Toshiro quickly explained.

"The village only lets the family be responsible for the production of this new drug. It's just because our 'reputation' is too bad and there is no way to promote it!"

"With the medical department as a breakthrough, I believe that those ninjas who often participate in dangerous missions will definitely come here. With the first one, there will be a second one, and the third one will just take a little longer... "

"It is impossible for a village to ban ninjas and spend their own money to buy a very effective medicine. As for the procurement of raw materials, even if you leave the Leaf Village, there are a large number of medicinal merchants in the Fire Country!"

After hearing Uchiha Toshiro's explanation, Uchiha Mika's eyes became brighter and brighter. Suddenly he slapped his chopsticks on the table with a 'pop' sound, stood up with both hands and prepared to go out.

"Wait a minute, Sister Meixiang, don't be so anxious, listen to me!"

After hearing Toshiro's words, Uchiha Mika paused, frowning slightly and thinking for a moment.

Then he sat down on the dining table again, staring at him with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to stare out the bloodstained boundary of the Uchiha family heirloom.

"Don't worry, Sister Meixiang! What you have to do now is actually very simple! Take the time to teach the people in the clan the preparation method of this new medicine and the secret medicine production. After convincing the clan leader to let him allocate a sum of funds to you, Purchase a batch of medicinal materials in advance before the village reacts."

"Is there something wrong with what we are doing? Isn't it obvious that we are going against the village?" Suddenly, something seemed to come to his mind.

"How can we say that we are going against the village? We are just doing our part as Uchiha to protect ninjas, protect the village, and protect everyone!" Toshiro said with a big eye roll.

"Well! When you apply for funds with the clan leader, you must also tell the clan leader the "nice words" I just said.

And have you guys thought about the name of the family’s secret medicine? "

"Well! Let's start with something simpler. Let's call it 'Uchiha Secret Medicine'. It's simple and clear! Doesn't the family like to print the family emblem everywhere? Print it on the secret medicine too."

"Don't be so anxious. You just saw the security force having a meeting with the clan leader, and now you rush over there in a hurry. It will make people suspicious. It's not too late to go there tomorrow."

"How could those beautiful words be useless? Those beautiful words are the most important. If you can shut up Hokage-sama, remember not to tell the clan leader that the idea was mine..."

Uchiha Toshiro's nagging voice could be heard on the dinner table, while Uchiha Mika looked at him steadily with an expression of joy and relief.

[Nisansa, Toshiro has really grown up...]
