Chapter 227: Brother Fu has no money left
"This sounds like the ability of the Thousand Hands Clan. ◆𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞Search for𝐬𝐭𝐨𝟓𝟐𝟎𝐜𝐨𝐦Read◆"
Uchiha Fugaku picked up a test tube with wild eyes, then drank it in one gulp, then closed his eyes with a flushed face.
Unlike Ming Jing, who has the ability to slowly restore his pupil power independently, the pupil power he used in the past is gone, so he is very eager for this kind of medicine that can replenish his pupil power.
"As expected of Orochimaru-senpai."
Ming Jing also picked up a test tube and looked at the golden light flowing on it, and couldn't help but admire it.

This potion almost has the effect of fundamentally transforming the human body of an immortal.
Although the transplanted White Zetsu cells can obtain most of the abilities of the immortal body without any sequelae, if the White Zetsu cells are taken away, these effects will be lost.
And for Ming Jing, the physical body composed of Bai Jue cells is not strong enough.
For ordinary ninjas, this may not be bad, but for Ming Jing who has now honed his physical body to an extremely high level, this is still far from it.
From this aspect, this potion is indeed more suitable for me.
"Uh..."
Uchiha Fugaku groaned and opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"The several attacks during the Third Ninja World War almost used up nearly 30% of my pupil power, but this potion alone almost restored my pupil power to a state close to when I first opened my eyes!"
Uchiha Fugaku felt his full pupils and couldn't help but said excitedly.
"It's pretty much what I expected. Three to four potions are enough to restore the entire pupil power of a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. And if you take it for many years, you can also achieve a certain effect of autonomously restoring pupil power."
Orochimaru stood aside and observed Uchiha Fugaku's changes, asked a few more questions, and quickly copied Fugaku's answers into his portable manual.
"The effect of autonomously restoring pupil power? How long does this mean over the years?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously again.
"Without consuming the power of the medicine to restore pupil power, taking one pill a month can maximize the effect of the medicine, which will last for fifteen years."
"Fifteen years..."
Uchiha Fugaku is in his early thirties this year, and he will still be in his prime fifteen years later, which is acceptable.
But the premise is that no medicine is used to restore pupil power during this process, the actual time should be further extended.
"So considering Obito's age, if he can insist on taking it daily, he can gain this ability when his peak period has just arrived."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Nohara Rin who was lying on the table looking at the potion curiously, muttering something about him just after they separated.
There were originally nine golden potions on the table. Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru used one one after another, and now there are still seven.
Ming Jing also took one at this time.
Now there are only six.
"Does Chief Fugaku want to expand the scale of production?"
Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly and said to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Of course, the current potions are definitely not enough for the three owners of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Senior Orochimaru also has a lot of credit for developing this potion, so he should also occupy a share of it. Of course, we must expand the production scale!"
Ming Jing, who opened his eyes at this time, interjected.
His Mangekyou Sharingan has a certain ability to recover independently. At the end of the war, he also paid attention to reducing the use of his pupil power. With this bottle of potion, his pupil power suddenly returned to 89% of what it was when he first opened his eyes.
and……
Ming Jing looked at his arm.
In his own perception, Ming Jing could detect a warm force traveling within the muscles of his body, strengthening his already strong body.
"Then let me count the expenses for you."
Orochimaru was so happy to be able to collect the wool of the wealthy Uchiha clan for experimental research.
"To make potions, you first need to cultivate special New White Zetsu cells. This requires the use of a large amount of high-quality medicinal materials with positive chakra. It also requires the use of that person's legacy. If you want to multiply the latter, you also need a large number of similar items. In addition, the success rate of making serum is not high, so it is estimated that one tube will cost about 6 million taels..."
What Orochimaru's plan was, it was clear to the mirror.
The actual cost is estimated to be only about 60% of what Orochimaru said, or even less.
Orochimaru did this simply because he wanted to get more funds to research his other experiments.
“It’s a little more expensive, but still within a reasonable range.”
After Ming Jing looked at it for a while, he said.
Seeing Ming Jing, an expert, say this, Uchiha Fugaku seemed very excited, but soon fell into hesitation.
"One potion costs six million taels. If a person takes one pill a month, it will cost 72 million taels a year. Three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan are more than 200 million taels, and you have to add Orochimaru-senpai. That’s nearly three hundred million taels.”
After Uchiha Fugaku calculated carefully, he fell silent.
It is known that an elite Jonin with political status and at the peak of his age like Sarutobi Asuma is worth thirty-five million taels. So three hundred million is enough to buy seven or eight Asuma's heads.
To put it in a more intuitive way, it is about 300 S-level missions, which is not enough even if all the S-level missions done by the three ninjas of Konoha are added together.
And this is just one year's consumption.
Even though the Uchiha clan is big and powerful, it is not easy to bear it, especially since there are so many clan members to support.
"Three hundred million taels a year is indeed too much. Even if the Sand Village is defeated, the compensation from Konoha is only 1 billion taels of silver, and it will be paid off in 20 years."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed and said.
Uchiha Obito was so scared after hearing this number that his Mangekyō Sharingan opened.
The money he earned during his years as a ninja is estimated to be not even enough for one million taels.
Orochimaru was a little anxious.
Although he didn't ask for too much before, the price was also inflated. He mainly wanted to see how rich the Uchiha clan was.
But in fact, although the Uchiha clan can come up with hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the short term based on its past foundation, if it wants to invest so much money every year in the future, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the family.
"How about this, Mr. Fugaku, you can first invest 50 million taels to buy new equipment for me and improve the production line. At that time, the cost can be reduced to 4 million taels per tube, and we can also cooperate with the Nara clan and other families engaged in the production of medicinal materials in the future, and purchase them at the internal channel price, which can further reduce the cost."
Orochimaru began to take the initiative to make suggestions for Uchiha Fugaku.
"I think it's okay, Chief Fugaku. If our plan this year is successful, the family will also benefit a lot. With the end of the years of the Ninja World War, the economic development of the Ninja World should enter a period of rapid development and prosperity. At that time, the annual income of the family will be several times higher than the peak period."
Mingjing also made a suggestion.
And Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru also knew what Mingjing was talking about.
When Kato Dan becomes the Fourth Hokage, the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru will each obtain a position in Konoha's senior management.
And it is a senior management with real power, because Kato Dan needs to gather his allies to suppress the interest group formed by the Third Hokage and the senior management of the older generation.
With this position, they will gain immeasurable benefits!
Just like the senior management now.
"Yes, but after the previous batch of funds, it will take some time for the family to come up with the 50 million taels to mobilize funds, but I can personally donate 30 million taels."
Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and agreed, and also took out a part of his personal wealth accumulated over the years.
"My family background is not as rich as that of the Fugaku clan leader, but I can still take out 10 million taels."
Compared to Mingjing, Uchiha Fugaku is much older, and naturally has more wealth accumulated, and the former has to help Kato Dan from time to time————
Sometimes Kato Dan's money was lost by Tsunade in gambling, and he could only ask his three beloved disciples for help.
Uchiha Obito was sweating profusely at this time, searching for his wallet with sweat all over his head.
"I, I, I will pay 435,102 taels!"
Uchiha Obito reported a string of numbers with both zeros and integers.
His family assets are all here.
...
...
East China Sea, Shimotsuki Village, dock.
"Hey! Kuina! I'll let you go first this time. When I go out to sea, I will definitely catch up with you and become the world's number one swordsman!"
A boy with green algae hair made his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to the distance.
Koshiro was wearing a black long coat, standing behind Zoro and looking at the ship that was getting smaller in the distance.
At the stern, Kuina, who had grown into a young girl, kept waving at the distance until the land disappeared from sight.
"So, Dragon, do you think I'm a nanny?"
Mingjing held the Den Den Mushi in his hand and looked at the two boys and girls opposite him speechlessly.
The man had short blond hair, a top hat on his head, and a cane in his hand, like an elegant gentleman.
The woman had a faint smile on her face, and her orange short hair made her look very gentle. She wore a pair of brown high-top boots and a pair of slender black silk long legs.
"Ah, Sabo and Kerla are also old enough to set sail, and their identities have not been exposed to the World Government yet, so they are very suitable to be your partners in this operation!"
The voice of the dragon came from the Den Den Mushi.
"And Kerla himself is also a very good navigator, which will definitely be of great help to your future voyage. In addition, I have asked Sabo to take the animal-type devil fruit that you asked me to help collect before."
Along with the voice of the dragon, Sabo elegantly took off the courtesy and took out a black devil fruit.
This is a devil fruit that looks a bit like a strawberry, with extensions on both sides that look like some kind of black bird wings.
"This is the Bird-Bird Fruit, Crow Form, Captain Yoichi."
Mingjing took the animal-type devil fruit from Sabo's hand.
"Okay."
Everyone is already on the ship, and these two kids look pretty good. As long as they don't cause trouble for me, what does it matter?
And Mingjing already has experience in leading students.
"Then Sabo and Kerla will be trained by you. As for this fruit, although I don't know what you want it to do, I still don't recommend you to eat this fruit. If you want to become an esper If so, the Revolutionary Army can help you find better fruits."
"Thank you, Dorag, but I have other uses for this fruit and I won't use it for food."
Ming Jing shook his head and said.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll hang up first."
"Wait, let me tell you one last thing."
"Help me investigate the pirates who are closer to the waters of Shuangyue Village and use them to train the three young people. After all, there are too few powerful characters in the East China Sea, so I have to spend a lot of time finding them myself."
"Is that so? Just wait a moment."
Not long after, Dorag sent a message.
"Kuina, raise the sails, Kerla, turn the helm! Head to the Konomi Islands!"
…
…
Konomi Islands.
It is located in the northwest of the East China Sea. It has more than 20 islands of various sizes and is under the jurisdiction of the 16th branch of the Navy.
Poconoa Village, a village that was oppressed by the Dragon Pirates in the past but could barely survive, has now become a paradise for pirates to plunder.
"Captain, this is the territory of the Dragon Pirates. Are we really going to be fine if we come here to plunder?"
A burly pirate carried the treasure he had just plundered on his back, and said worriedly to an ugly fat woman.
"Hmph, they must be at the Dragon Paradise on the coast now. How can they have time to take care of me, the most beautiful person in the world?"
Arrita touched her face pretending to be charming and said in a rough tone.
The pirate leader had to suppress his nausea and praised the captain's beauty.
At this moment, four figures walked up to the corner of the street.
"Did you see that ugly fat woman with freckles on her face and holding an iron rod?"
Ming Jing pointed at Arrita in the distance and said to the three people behind him.
"Teacher Yuanyi, she must be our target for this trial!"
Guina excitedly pulled out the long knife from her waist and said.
"No, no, no, she is not qualified. She is just unhappy to see someone so ugly and still doing evil, so I just want to add an appetizer for you before the trial."
Ming Jing raised a finger, shook it and said.
"Damn it, you dare to call me, the most beautiful woman in the world, ugly! It's so unforgivable! Come on, little ones, kill them!"
Arrita waved the iron rod in her hand angrily, calling for her men to take action.
Ming Jing keeps talking about the word "ugly", how can she tolerate it?
Even though, this red-haired swordsman doesn’t look easy to mess with.
