Naruto: Scourge of the Ninja World

It didn't take long for Gekko Chizan's prank-filled brain to come up with a brilliant trick.

In the next second, his figure vanished from the top of the Hokage Rock.

After roughly estimating the speed at which the two girls were walking, Gekko Chizan activated Transparent Release and ran straight into a nearby shop just ahead of them.

"Chomei, lend me some powder."

"Hmm? What do you need it for?"

"Don't ask. Just tell me—wanna watch a show or not?"

"Of course I do! Take it!"

Well then, Chomei was already fully corrupted by Gekko Chizan. The moment he heard there was a show, he was happier than anyone.

As Chomei's chakra flowed into his body, Gekko Chizan's face instantly broke into a sly grin.

This was a traditional medicine shop, selling all sorts of herbs.

The shopkeeper was diligently working at the counter when suddenly, a cloud of powder hit him square in the face.

The next second, he dropped into a deep sleep.

"Chomei, how long will he be out?"

"Hmm… I'd say about a day should do it."

"Perfect."

Once the shopkeeper was asleep, Gekko Chizan released his Transparent Release and efficiently dragged the man into the back room.

Then, he used a Transformation Jutsu to become the spitting image of the shopkeeper.

Well, maybe a slightly more sinister version of the shopkeeper.

With that, he began preparing to receive Pakura and Kushina.

"Hey, Chizan, how can you be sure those two will come to this shop?"

"Intuition."

"...Why does my intuition tell me they won't?"

"Because you lack intuition."

Chomei was immediately speechless and silently waited for Gekko Chizan to perform.

But deep down, he thought: Hmph, if they don't come, I'm going to nag you to death.

Little did he know, the two girls out shopping had already spotted the herb shop by the roadside.

"Pakura, do you know how to make soldier pills?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking about that?"

"To eat, of course! Look, even though we can't leave, we can still try making things. I'll make some for Minato, and you can make some for Chizan. Hehehe, how about it?"

Pakura was immediately speechless. She raised a finger and poked Kushina's forehead, scolding:

"You really can't sit still for a second, can you?"

"Besides, why should I make any for Chizan? Don't forget, he's the one who tricked me into coming here. If it weren't for him, I'd still be an elite jōnin of Sunagakure!"

Kushina just laughed cheekily and said with disdain:

"Come on, Pakura-san, give me a break."

"If you really wanted to go back to Sunagakure, you'd have tried every way possible to escape by now."

"But you haven't—not even once. It's obvious there's nothing in Sunagakure you're clinging to."

"So instead of that, why not just stay in Konoha?"

Pakura was struck by her words. At first, she had indeed wanted to escape Konoha, but after several months of living here, she had experienced a life completely different from what she had in Sunagakure.

Sayo, Kushina, and even Gekko Chizan—they had gradually dispelled the loneliness in her heart.

She didn't even know when it started, but she had already begun to forcibly forget her identity, choosing instead to live as an ordinary person.

"Alright, alright, Pakura-san, let's go! That shop up ahead sells medicine. Let's buy some herbs and make soldier pills!"

Kushina pulled Pakura toward the shop, but Pakura still hesitated.

With a sigh, she said, "Even if we're going to make soldier pills, we don't need to go to a herb shop."

"Kushina, I know the formula for soldier pills."

As everyone knows, soldier pills are a staple supply item for ninjas on missions.

They effectively restore chakra and suppress hunger—similar to compressed biscuits.

The standard method for making soldier pills is: one tablespoon of cocoa powder, one tablespoon of vegetable juice (preferably green), six pieces of bean snacks (about 10g), eight small cookies (about 20g), ten mixed nuts (about 15g), two teaspoons of sesame seeds, a pinch of shichimi togarashi, and 25 raisins.

Note: This recipe comes from the Book of Soldiers.

"Aiya, Pakura-san, of course I know how to make soldier pills!"

"But think about it—we're making these ourselves. They can't be ordinary."

"To boost the nutritional value of the pills, adding some herbs is absolutely necessary!"

"Come on!"

With that, Kushina dragged Pakura straight into the shop.

Seeing the two girls enter, Chomei was stunned and blurted out,

"No way—Chizan, you're a genius!"

Gekko Chizan laughed proudly in his heart, smugly replying,

"Basic stuff, basic stuff, hahahaha!"

"Hey there, ladies! Looking to buy something?"

"This shop's got all kinds of herbs—whatever you need, we've got it."

Enter: Actor Chizan. His demeanor didn't just resemble the shopkeeper—it was him, essentially.

Pakura looked at the man before her and for some reason felt something was off.

But she couldn't put her finger on it.

Meanwhile, Kushina had already begun consulting about making soldier pills.

"Excuse me, I want to make some soldier pills. Are there any herbs that can enhance their effects without causing harm?"

Oh? Soldier pills, eh? Hahahaha, Minato, Minato—you're mine again!

Gekko Chizan almost burst out laughing. Of course the pills Kushina was making were for Namikaze Minato.

Not bad! This was totally worth it. Just the thought of working with Kushina to drug Minato had him practically giddy with joy!

"Oh, soldier pills? Sure, let me see..."

"When adding herbs to soldier pills, you have to be careful—never more than three types."

"If you're looking to enhance the effects, I'd recommend hemp seed, arborvitae seed, and apricot seed."

"These three are mild and very suitable for making soldier pills."

Say what you will—Gekko Chizan's performance was smooth.

Not just Kushina and Pakura—even Hatake Sakumo would've been convinced.

Kushina immediately ordered 2.5 kg of each!

That made Gekko Chizan nearly crack up—2.5 kg?! Minato, you're in for a treat!

"Isn't that a bit much? Will we even use it all?"

Pakura felt like they were buying too much and suggested they tone it down a bit.

But Gekko Chizan, seeing his grand plan about to succeed, couldn't let her ruin it.

"Don't worry. These herbs are extremely mild. Even if you use a bit more, it won't hurt."

"But remember—don't put all 2.5 kg in at once. Even the Hokage wouldn't survive that."

"For a single batch, one kg is enough. With 2.5 kg, you can make a ton."

Following the principles of humanitarianism, Gekko Chizan still gave a friendly reminder.

Hearing that, Kushina immediately praised the shopkeeper as a good person.

That one line—"You're a good person"—nearly broke Gekko Chizan.

Meanwhile, Chomei inside his body was laughing so hard he was rolling around—this was just too funny.

Just imagining Minato eating soldier pills filled with three potent laxatives, one kg per batch, Gekko Chizan could hardly keep it together.

Minato, don't thank me—it's all because Kushina cares about you!

Fun Fact: Hemp seed, apricot seed, and arborvitae seed all have laxative effects.
