This Uchiha Just Wants to Lay Low

Chapter 24: The New Regeneration Potion and the 'Worker' Kakuzu!

A rat whose hind leg had been severed was now fully restored. Apart from a slight loss of fur, it looked no different from its original state.

Although Uchiha Mei couldn't see, her other senses were still sharp, allowing her to confirm that the rat in her hand hadn't been swapped by Uchiha Takashi.

"This... how is this possible?"

She was no longer in despair as before, and was now constantly feeling the rat in her hand, muttering to herself.

For a ninja like her, touching a rat, or even a snake, wouldn't cause her to flinch.

"Why is it impossible?"

"You are too narrow-minded!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Uchiha Takashi spoke with confidence.

The evidence was undeniable, and he was sure he had the upper hand.

Moreover, he didn't find his achievement particularly surprising.

In the future, Obito, that traitor, had half his body missing and was saved by Master Madara using White Zetsu. Not to mention Orochimaru's cloning technology... all of which were far more advanced than his current achievement.

Those were technological feats, but what he accomplished was entirely due to his unique bloodline.

Without the special blood running through his veins, creating this 'Regeneration Potion' would have been impossible.

Regeneration Potion! Whoever uses this potion would be reborn, making the name extremely fitting.

"When can I start?"

Uchiha Mei asked eagerly, turning her head.

During the time she lost her eyes (the news had been kept secret and she was treated outside, not just today), she had been in immense agony.

Now, she didn't want to wait even a second longer.

"Not yet," Uchiha Takashi shook his head and explained, "We've only done animal testing so far, and we don't know about any side effects. Most importantly, we need to determine the correct dosage!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Mei calmed down and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

With this successful example, she no longer worried about losing her sight forever, so her patience returned.

Patience is an essential quality for a ninja.

"I need you to find someone to place a commission at the exchange office to search for a summoning scroll, collect... these materials, and find test subjects!"

Uchiha Takashi stated his requirements.

"Alright!"

Uchiha Mei agreed without a moment's hesitation.

As the granddaughter of the former clan leader, her influence was beyond imagination.

Previously, she was too despondent to act, but if she really wanted to get things done, neither manpower nor funds would be an issue.

Not long after.

A specific commission appeared at the underground exchange office.

The Exchange Office!

A mediator platform with a presence throughout the ninja world.

Any task could be posted there, with no restrictions whatsoever.

A 30 million ryo mission bounty!

This price was already quite extravagant.

Some small ninja village leaders might not even have such a high bounty.

In a hidden exchange office in the Land of Fields.

Bang! A corpse was thrown onto the counter.

A figure, fully cloaked with eyes like green beans, silently counted the money in his hand. "Kakuzu-sama, I wonder if you're interested in taking on a 30 million ryo mission?"

The exchange office manager behind the counter asked cautiously.

"30 million ryo?"

Kakuzu, who was counting money, suddenly found the money in his hand less appealing.

He had worked hard for a month to successfully hunt down the jonin in front of him and earn a 2 million ryo bounty. Now, a single mission offered 30 million ryo. How could he not be interested?

"Yes, the client specifically requested you to complete it..."

The person in charge couldn't understand why anyone would dare collaborate with such a dangerous figure, but he wasn't one to question it. He just did his job. "I'll take the mission!"

Kakuzu wasn't afraid of difficult missions; his biggest concern was the money not being enough.

With such a high price, even assassinating a Kage from one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages wouldn't be out of the question.

Bang! Upon hearing Kakuzu's willingness to take on the mission, the person in charge immediately used a summoning technique to retrieve the mission scroll.

After receiving the scroll and confirming the seal was intact, Kakuzu opened it to check the mission details.

The mission was straightforward.

He was to go to the Drowning Marsh and retrieve a summoning scroll from there.

The employer provided some intelligence, noting that a powerful giant lizard guarded the summoning scroll and was adept at...

With this information, Kakuzu felt confident about completing the mission.

The only hassle was that after completing the mission, he wouldn't hand the item directly to the employer but to a small merchant caravan.

But no worries, the reward had already been deposited with the intermediary platform at the exchange, so there was no concern about not getting paid.

After reading the mission scroll and tucking it into his robe, Kakuzu carefully placed the counted money into his money box before slowly leaving the underground exchange.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Takashi was incredibly busy every day.

Not only did he have to focus on his training in various aspects, but he also had to develop new jutsu and research elixirs, wishing he could split himself into several parts to manage everything.

Oh right!

There was a jutsu that could achieve this effect.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

This B-rank jutsu was a must-have cheat for any transmigrator.

Although Uchiha Mei could obtain this jutsu, she couldn't teach it to him.

Apart from the village and clan restrictions, there was also the difficulty of learning it.

At the very least, one needed to be a Jonin to master it.

Although Uchiha Takashi's combat power had improved significantly due to Taiichi's presence, making him much stronger than an average Chunin, his personal strength was still far from reaching Jonin level.

In the anime, Jonin seemed as common as dogs, Kage-level shinobi were everywhere, and only the Six Paths could stand out.

But in the real shinobi world, one realizes how unrealistic that is.

Even a background character Jonin is considered a 'big shot' in any major shinobi village.

In the entire Konoha Village, with over ten thousand active shinobi, there were less than two hundred Jonin, highlighting their rarity and the difficulty of promotion.

So for someone like Uchiha Takashi, a newly graduated Genin, learning a Jonin-level jutsu was wishful thinking.

Of course.

If he were a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with Uzumaki bloodline, it might be a different story.

(Naruto: You might as well just say my name!)

Unfortunately, he wasn't, so he could only be a 'time management master,' allocating his daily time efficiently while working hard.

His dream was to take it easy.

Now, not only could he not relax, but he was working tirelessly, and the hardship in his heart was evident.

It's all Danzo's fault! The biggest piece of good news might be his rapid progress in developing new jutsu.

Although not as monstrous as those with a protagonist's halo, he could at least be called a 'genius.'

Uchiha Takashi lacked neither creativity nor foundational knowledge, and with Minato Namikaze's guidance in practical and technical aspects, everything went smoothly.

Once he had this exclusive jutsu, his strength would soar.

Additionally, he had extracted several samples of the new elixir, which could be officially used after human testing.

As for how to conduct the experiments?

Uchiha Takashi couldn't do it himself, but with Uchiha Mei's arrangements, it was a different matter.

Today was also the day of the experiment.

He arrived at an unexpected location for the experiment.
