Naruto: Create All That Defy Logic

Inside the Hokage's Office—

"Huh? Uchiha Ken and Uchiha Kira paid a visit to the Nara clan?"

The Third Hokage frowned as he read the report. His heart tightened immediately, suspecting that the Uchiha clan was up to something.

After all, the Nara clan was one of his most loyal supporters. He had every reason to be wary.

But after reading further, he let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "Oh, so it's just about ordering medicinal herbs. And they're not just dealing with the Nara clan, but other suppliers too."

"Uchiha Kira developed several secret medicines and plans to mass-produce them and open a shop?"

"He's that confident?"

The Third Hokage wasn't the type to dismiss something as nonsense, especially since even Uchiha Ken was involved. That meant they were serious about it.

"What kind of secret medicines are these? I should ask Shikayama."

Without hesitation, he gestured to an Anbu nearby and ordered, "Bring me Nara Shikayama. Tell him I have something important to discuss."

"Yes, sir!"

The Anbu disappeared in an instant. Not long after, Nara Shikayama arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, you called for me?"

"Yes."

The Third Hokage motioned for him to sit on the couch before asking, "I heard Uchiha Kira came to see you?"

Shikayama's heart skipped a beat. He quickly nodded, "That's right. He came to order some medicinal herbs and intends to purchase them regularly."

"He also left samples of six different secret medicines that he plans to sell in his shop."

"I tested them all. The effects are impressive."

"I even brought a sample of each for you to inspect."

With that, Shikayama took out six porcelain bottles from his sleeve and placed them on the table, motioning toward them.

"Oh? Secret medicines?"

The Third Hokage raised an eyebrow as he picked up one of the bottles. "What kind of medicines could make you so interested? They must be special."

"They are."

Shikayama nodded and explained, "One is a hemostatic agent, another is for wound healing—both are 50% more effective than what's currently on the market."

"There's also an antidote that neutralizes most common poisons very quickly."

"Then, there's a special type of ration pill. Not only is it twice as effective as regular ones, but it also tastes good. Even Chōzan liked it so much he wants to place a bulk order."

"But the most important ones are these two."

Shikayama picked up two specific bottles and said seriously, "These are called 'Body-Strengthening Pills.' They enhance taijutsu training effectiveness by 2-3 times. The results are amazing."

"One is for children aged 6-12, and the other is for adults between 12 and 50."

"What?!"

The Third Hokage was stunned. He quickly took the two bottles from Shikayama, his face full of disbelief. "Are you sure about this? Taijutsu training effectiveness increased by 2-3 times?"

"Absolutely."

Shikayama nodded firmly.

At the same time, he thought to himself, 'Looks like the Third Hokage understands how valuable these pills are. I need to secure a long-term supply deal with Uchiha Ken before the demand skyrockets.'

Good products always have limited supply. The fastest ones win.

"I see."

The Third Hokage's expression turned serious. He nodded, tucked the two bottles into his robe, and forced a polite smile. "Thank you for bringing these over. That'll be all."

"Alright."

Shikayama got the hint, stood up, and said, "I'll take my leave then."

With that, he left the office.

Once alone, the Third Hokage took out the two bottles again, opened them, and examined their contents.

After some thought, he took all six bottles and headed toward the hospital to find Tsunade.

At the Hospital—

"Old man?"

Tsunade looked up in surprise when she saw the Third Hokage walk in. She raised an eyebrow and smirked. "What brings you here?"

This was unusual.

The last time he came to the hospital, he was trying to recruit Uchiha Kira.

Once Kira stopped showing up, the Third Hokage also stopped coming.

So predictable.

"Take a look at these."

The Third Hokage ignored her teasing and placed the six bottles in front of her.

"Oh?"

Tsunade opened each bottle, sniffed them, and read the labels. She raised an eyebrow. "These are good. Whoever made them knows what they're doing. Even though they've concealed the ingredients well, I can tell they're top-quality."

"And I recognize this handwriting. This is Kira's, isn't it? So, these are his new secret medicines?"

"How did you get them?"

She eyed the Third Hokage suspiciously.

His face darkened. "What are you thinking? I'm not some lowlife who steals from kids."

"These are samples he gave to Shikayama. I got them from him."

"Apparently, Kira plans to sell these in his shop."

Tsunade nodded in understanding. "Oh."

"…That's all?"

The Third Hokage was speechless at her indifferent reaction. "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Yeah."

Tsunade shrugged. "It's a great idea. These are excellent medicines. He's going to make a fortune."

At the mention of money, her eyes lit up slightly. "Looks like Kira is about to get rich. That means I've found a new person to borrow money from! Hehehe."

Third Hokage: "..."

What kind of weirdo is this?

Is she really my disciple?

"These aren't secret formulas from you or the Senju clan?" he asked, frustrated.

"Oh?"

Tsunade suddenly grinned mischievously. "Now I see why you're here."

"You've got your eyes on Kira's medicine and want to take it for yourself, huh?"

The Third Hokage's forehead twitched. Just as he was about to refute her, she shrugged and said, "Too bad, these aren't from me or the Senju clan."

"If I had these recipes, I would've opened a shop myself instead of being broke all the time."

She was genuinely proud of Kira's talent. He didn't let her down.

"…I see."

The Third Hokage was visibly disappointed. Then, in frustration, he scolded, "What kind of person do you take me for? Do you really think I'd just steal from someone?"

"If these were yours, I would've bought them properly."

"Pfft."

Tsunade waved him off. "Yeah, sure. You expect me to believe that?"

"Anyway, if that's all, you can leave now. I've got work to do."

She then casually poured herself a drink and started sipping.

The Third Hokage's eye twitched.

Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless.
