"Thank you! Here's the list of medicinal herbs we'll need each month. The demand may increase in the future, so please take a look."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kira pulled out a neatly prepared list and handed it to Nara Shikayama.

Shikayama carefully examined it, raising an eyebrow. "That's quite a substantial amount! But for the Nara Clan, it's not a problem."

"However, we'll need some time to prepare everything. How about the first batch in five days?"

"If that works for you, we can go ahead and sign a supply contract. You'll just need to pay a ten percent deposit upfront."

Most of the herbs listed were common and easy to procure. Even the rarer ones were within their capabilities to supply.

If this deal became a long-term arrangement, the Nara Clan's herbal business would be thriving.

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Kira was delighted and immediately drafted the contract with Shikayama. After making the deposit, he stood up to take his leave.

Before leaving, he placed six small porcelain bottles on the table and smiled. "These are samples of the medicine we plan to sell. Their uses and effects are labeled on the bottles. Consider them a gift for your hospitality—please accept them."

With that, Uchiha Kira and Uchiha Ken departed.

"I'll walk you out."

Shikayama was slightly surprised and curious about the medicines but still escorted them to the gate.

After seeing them off, he returned to the guest hall, just as his son, Nara Shikaku, emerged from the inner room.

Shikaku glanced at the bottles on the table, picked one up, and remarked, "That Uchiha Kira isn't what I expected. He doesn't seem like a three-year-old at all. His speech and demeanor are more like someone my age."

Before his father could respond, he read the label aloud: "Youth Training Pill—suitable for children aged 6-12. Claims to enhance taijutsu training efficiency by two to three times?! No way!"

"Oh?"

Shikayama's eyes narrowed as he quickly took the bottle from Shikaku and examined it. "That's what it says."

He immediately opened the bottle, poured out two pills, and sniffed them, frowning. "They've been processed with special techniques—just by smell alone, I can't identify the ingredients. I'll need to run some animal tests first."

Without hesitation, he gathered all six bottles and hurriedly left.

Shikaku yawned lazily, crossing his arms. "Looks like things are about to get interesting in the village."

As Shikayama walked back, he carefully read the descriptions on all the bottles, deep in thought.

"If these medicines work as described, then Uchiha Kira has really created something incredible. His clan is going to make a fortune."

More importantly, the significance of the Youth Training Pill couldn't be overstated.

A two- to threefold increase in taijutsu training efficiency was astonishing.

Since the Nara Clan was a major herbal supplier, they had access to advanced pharmaceutical research facilities.

Within a day, Shikayama had verified the effects of all six medicines.

To his shock, the descriptions were completely accurate.

"I can't even identify most of the ingredients. Their secrecy measures are impressive."

"We need to place a bulk order immediately. The demand for these will skyrocket once word gets out."

Thinking quickly, he decided to bring in the Yamanaka and Akimichi Clans.

"We share fortune and hardship together. We can't let short-term profits create a rift between our three clans."

With that in mind, he quickened his pace back home.

That very night, he invited the current clan heads of the Yamanaka and Akimichi Clans to a meeting.

He explained the deal with Uchiha Kira and highlighted the Youth Training Pill's remarkable effects.

"Shikayama, are you sure about this? A two- to threefold increase in taijutsu training efficiency?!"

Akimichi Chōzan jumped to his feet, his voice filled with excitement.

Everyone knew that the Akimichi Clan was full of large-built shinobi who relied on their Multi-Size Jutsu.

At first glance, they seemed like a taijutsu-heavy clan.

But in truth, their power came from chakra control and the use of their unique expansion techniques, with taijutsu playing a secondary role.

They stored massive amounts of chakra by overeating and converted fat into chakra reserves when needed.

Chakra could be replenished through food, but improving their taijutsu and physical fitness required relentless training.

And because of their heavy bodies, training was even harder for them compared to other clans.

This meant the Akimichi were often at a disadvantage in the early and mid-stages of their careers.

As for the late game?

Well, shinobi had short lifespans. Not many made it that far.

So hearing about a pill that could drastically speed up training naturally thrilled Chōzan.

"If it really works, it's a miracle drug! Even our Yamanaka Clan would benefit greatly," said Yamanaka Arashi.

Their clan specialized in Mind-Body Jutsu, relying heavily on mental and spiritual strength.

But their biggest weakness was their weak taijutsu. If they could improve their physical fitness, their overall survival and combat effectiveness would increase significantly.

Enhanced physical conditioning could even boost their mental resilience, further strengthening their jutsu.

"I've already tested the pills. The results are exactly as described, with almost no side effects. The only limit is that you can only take one per day."

Shikayama assured them.

"Whoa! That's a real game-changer! Shikayama, introduce us to this Uchiha Kira. We need to place a large order immediately!"

Both Chōzan and Arashi spoke in unison.

"Haha, of course!"

Shikayama chuckled. "I knew you'd be interested, which is why I called you here."

"We'll meet with Uchiha Kira in four days when he delivers the first batch of herbs. We'll place our orders then. I'm sure he'll give us priority."

"Other than the Uchiha themselves, we're probably the first ones to get our hands on these."

He could tell that Uchiha Kira held no hostility toward them. Plus, since Kira needed their herbal supplies, there was no need to worry.

"That's great! We owe you for this!"

Chōzan and Arashi expressed their gratitude.

"Come on, we're one family! If there's an opportunity, of course I'll share it with you."

"Haha! That's right! Good brothers!"

"Good brothers!"
