Chapter 326: Chapter 326

"So, you're back already?"

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto, who had just appeared back at his desk, and asked in mild surprise. He had assumed Naruto would be gone for a few hours.

"Yeah, I spoke with them briefly and came right back. Shikamaru, this time the old man at Mount Myōboku—the Great Toad Sage—had another prophecy. It might be serious," Naruto said with a serious expression, causing Shikamaru to stiffen.

"The Great Toad Sage? You mean the one who predicted Kaguya's emergence?"

"That's right. His prophecies are highly accurate," Naruto confirmed. "This time, he foresaw a powerful enemy—possibly stronger than Kaguya. In his vision, even Mount Myōboku was destroyed."

"This sounds... dire. What do we know?"

"The prophecy wasn't detailed, but I managed to get some specifics about the enemy's features."

Naruto pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. It depicted a figure with distinct features: a long tail, dorsal fins, crystalline scales, a sage-like cloak, and orbs resembling Truth-Seeking Balls hovering behind its back.

"The features... they seem reminiscent of Kaguya, don't they? Has Sasuke reported anything unusual?" Shikamaru asked, studying the drawing closely.

"No, nothing yet. I'll inform him as soon as he sends his next message. He'll need to keep an eye out," Naruto replied with a sigh. "We've had peace for so long, but it seems Sasuke's concerns were justified."

Shikamaru nodded. "If this enemy frightened Kaguya and appears in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, they must be formidable."

After receiving funds from the village, Sakura left the Hokage's office to purchase a few secret medicines. However, with a budget of only two million ryo, she realized she could only afford a couple.

"Sakura!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Sakura turned to see Ino rushing up to her, wrapping an arm around hers.

"Ino, weren't you supposed to be at the hospital today?"

"I finished early! Are you heading home?"

Sakura shook her head, lifting the envelope in her hand. "I'm on my way to the pharmacy to buy some of their secret remedies. If their effects are as advertised, the village might stock up on them for emergencies."

Ino raised an eyebrow. "Already? But those remedies are expensive. Does the village have that kind of budget?"

Sakura gave a small laugh. "We'll test a few first. If the results are disappointing, that'll be the end of it."

The two women soon arrived at Yoichi's pharmacy. As they entered, they noticed the shopkeeper, Yoichi, shaking his head as he dismissed a dejected customer.

"Business seems decent for your third day," Ino remarked, her tone light and slightly teasing.

Yoichi shook his head. "Not really. That guy was trying to scam me by selling worthless herbs at a premium. But enough about him—what brings you two here today?"

Sakura stepped forward. "We're not here to sell anything. We'd like to purchase some secret medicines."

Yoichi's demeanor softened slightly. "Welcome. Here's the list. Let me know what you'd like, and I'll fetch it for you."

Sakura reviewed the list, her brows furrowing at the steep prices.

Ino, already familiar with the prices, couldn't help but protest, "These prices are outrageous! Can't you lower them a little?"

"There are cheaper versions, but their effects are proportionally weaker. If you're interested, I can make them to order," Yoichi replied matter-of-factly.

His bluntness only served to irritate Ino. "You—!"

Sakura quickly intervened, picking out three remedies. "We'll take a recovery pill, a strength-boosting pill, and an energy pill."

"Very well."

Yoichi retrieved three small bottles, placing them on the counter. "That'll be 1.89 million ryo."

Sakura winced internally at the price but handed over the money without complaint. After all, the village needed to test these remedies.

As they turned to leave, Ino suddenly stopped. "Hey, shouldn't you come with us to test these? What if the results don't match your claims?"

Yoichi raised an eyebrow. "You think I'd run? This shop cost me a small fortune. I'm not in it for the money."

Ino's irritation flared. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying we're money-obsessed?!"

Yoichi shrugged nonchalantly. "I'll come along if you agree to help me test a new remedy of mine. Otherwise, I have other things to do."

Intrigued, Sakura asked, "What kind of remedy?"

"Dragon Power Pill," Yoichi said, holding up a jade bottle. "It's designed to imbue an ordinary person with the strength of a dragon."

...

The trio arrived at Konoha Hospital, where Sakura gathered a few colleagues to assist. Yoichi suggested testing the Dragon Power Pill first, claiming it required the most immediate evaluation.

Sakura asked, "How do you propose we test it?"

"Have an ordinary person take the pill and spar against a strong ninja," Yoichi replied simply.

Skeptical, Ino folded her arms. "You're expecting a single pill to turn a civilian into a match for a ninja?"

"Exactly."

Though doubtful, Sakura found a willing participant—a hospital researcher named Moriki.

"Are you sure this won't have any side effects?" Moriki asked nervously.

"None whatsoever," Yoichi assured him.

With some hesitation, Moriki swallowed the pill. Within moments, his body began to transform. His muscles bulged, his frame expanded, and his lab coat tore slightly as he grew into a two-meter-tall powerhouse.

"Ahhh!!"

The room fell silent as everyone gawked at the transformed researcher.

"Moriki, how do you feel?" Sakura asked cautiously.

"Strong. Really strong," Moriki replied, flexing his newfound muscles.

Sakura nodded, observing him closely. "No signs of mental instability. Let's test his strength."

At her instruction, Moriki struck the ground with his fist.

BOOM!

The ground beneath him shattered, creating a crater several meters wide and deep. Cracks spread out like a spiderweb, shaking the entire area.

Ino, who had been preparing to berate Yoichi, yelped as the ground beneath her feet crumbled. She nearly fell but was caught by a firm arm around her waist.

Looking up, she saw Yoichi holding her steady. Her cheeks flushed.

"You okay?" he asked, his tone neutral.

"Y-yeah," Ino stammered, quickly stepping back.

Meanwhile, Sakura's analytical mind was racing. "This level of enhancement is remarkable. If it truly has no side effects, it could revolutionize how we handle missions."

Yoichi smirked. "Told you my remedies were worth the price."

Chapter 327: Chapter 327

The testing grounds were completely destroyed by a single punch. Moriki's power left everyone in shock.

Everyone present knew Moriki—a researcher skilled in medical techniques but lacking the talent of a ninja. He couldn't even use chakra.

However, after consuming the Dragon Power Pill, the strength he exhibited left even Sakura utterly stunned, her mouth agape in disbelief.

The only one seemingly unaffected by Moriki's display of strength was Ino. She glanced down, realizing her waist was being held by an arm, which immediately made her blush. To her dismay, the arm belonged to the person she least liked—the local pharmacist.

Before Ino could say anything, the arm was quickly withdrawn. Once she steadied herself, she glanced at Yoichi with a mix of embarrassment and excitement.

But before she could speak, Yoichi beat her to it. "Out of everyone here, you're the only one who fell. Are you sure you're a ninja? You can't even stand as well as the civilians."

"You… You!"

Ino, now both ashamed and angry, wanted to retort but was interrupted by Sakura's shout.

"Moriki-kun, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! I feel amazing!"

Moriki waved his hand nervously and added, "I think I didn't use my full strength earlier. Should I punch again?"

"No, no need! That punch was enough!"

Sakura quickly stopped him and gestured to the Konoha Hospital staff to approach and examine Moriki. They began running additional tests to measure his increased strength, durability, and the pill's overall effects, including its duration.

Yoichi remained indifferent as Sakura and her team conducted their experiments. After all, the Dragon Power Pill could only be refined by him.

Ino, meanwhile, edged closer. While she wasn't a medical ninja, her curiosity about the mysterious pill and Yoichi's secrets grew.

"Hey, who are you really? How did you create such a powerful secret pill?" Ino whispered, her tone cautious. "If you're a spy from another village, I suggest you abandon any thoughts of harming Konoha. We won't let you get away with it!"

Yoichi shot her a glance, shook his head, and said, "Ungrateful."

He then stepped away, his demeanor making it clear he wasn't interested in talking.

That single word and his dismissive attitude erased any lingering gratitude Ino felt. She clenched her fists behind her back, wishing she could punch his annoyingly handsome face.

After a while, Sakura completed the tests. She even tested her own strength against Moriki, resulting in her being sent flying.

Moriki rushed to check on her, but Sakura assured him she wasn't hurt—it was simply a matter of being overpowered.

This outcome left everyone, including Ino, in disbelief. Sakura, renowned for her monstrous strength as the inheritor of Tsunade's power, had been bested by someone who wasn't even a ninja, all thanks to the pill.

If a ninja consumed this secret pill, how much stronger would they become?

An hour later, the effects of the Dragon Power Pill wore off. Moriki's swollen physique gradually returned to normal, leaving him feeling weak and ravenously hungry.

Yoichi approached and advised, "Let him eat plenty and rest. He'll be fine after that."

The Dragon Power Pill's effectiveness seemed promising. Moriki, being an ordinary person, couldn't precisely control his body, resulting in much of the pill's power going to waste. If given to a taijutsu expert, the results could be far greater.

Following Yoichi's advice, Sakura provided Moriki with food and monitored his recovery. Apart from fatigue, he showed no other issues.

Meanwhile, the effects of the other three types of secret pills were tested, each aligning perfectly with Yoichi's claims. The researchers at Konoha Hospital were ecstatic, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

The Dragon Power Pill, however, was particularly astonishing. It enabled an ordinary person to match a jonin in combat—a feat unheard of.

Yoichi, seeing the results, said, "Since the tests are done, I'll be heading back."

"Wait!"

Sakura stopped him, her tone calmer as she approached. "About your shop, I'd like to discuss something on behalf of Konoha."

"Oh? What about it?"

"Regarding the sale of these secret pills, will you sell them to anyone who meets your conditions?"

Yoichi nodded. "Of course. I run a business to trade items. Why wouldn't I sell to anyone who comes to my shop?"

Sakura sighed inwardly. She expected this answer but still tried to persuade him. "If that's the case, there's a risk that bad people could purchase these pills and use them to harm others."

"Hold on," Yoichi interrupted, raising his hand. "Before we get into that, let me ask you something. Do these bad people eat food or use weapons while committing their crimes?"

"Uh… Yes?"

"Then maybe you should shut down all the restaurants and weapon shops first. That way, they won't have the strength or tools to cause harm."

Yoichi chuckled and added, "The Dragon Power Pill is a Level 5 secret pill. I'll finalize its price tomorrow. If you're interested, you're welcome to discuss a trade. But I warn you, a Level 5 pill isn't easy to obtain."

Without waiting for Sakura's reply, Yoichi turned and left. He had achieved his goal, and the Dragon Power Pill had proven its value.

Sakura, still processing his words, was approached by Ino.

"That guy is so infuriating. He's got a way of saying things that really gets under your skin. Maybe we should ask Naruto about this."

Ino, too, was astonished by the pill's effects. Its power was undeniable and potentially dangerous if misused.

"But Sakura, don't worry too much. Did you hear him? Even the Level 1 and 2 pills are expensive. This Level 5 pill must be beyond what even Konoha can afford, let alone others."

Sakura nodded. "Still, his background is suspicious. Not even Lady Tsunade could create such powerful pills. Who exactly is this guy?"

"I'll write to my mentor and ask. But for now, I need to inform Naruto. If the effects are as real as they seem, the village could benefit from purchasing some."

Ino agreed and headed home, while Sakura made her way to the Hokage's office.

After explaining everything to Naruto and Shikamaru, both were left stunned.

"So, you're saying Moriki punched you away after taking the pill?" Naruto asked, his disbelief evident.

"Well, not exactly… But yes, think of it that way," Sakura replied, admitting the Dragon Power Pill's overwhelming power.

"This pill is incredibly strong. If a ninja used it, their strength would skyrocket. Its side effects are negligible, making it nearly risk-free. However, the price is so steep that even we might struggle to afford it."

Shikamaru rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "It's troublesome. If bad actors get their hands on these pills, it could be catastrophic. But this guy… Where is he from?"

Sakura shook her head. "I don't know, but I plan to write to sensei and see if she knows anything."

Naruto nodded. "Good idea. Let Sai investigate him in the meantime. He doesn't seem to belong to any of the five great nations, but we can't take any chances."
