Soul of Naruto wears Rock Lee

Chapter 13 Medicinal Materials

"Sir Hokage, there was an accident and two traffickers escaped. However, the sales den where they were located has been completely destroyed. This is a summary of the mission report. The rescued babies have also found their biological parents. Please check."

Metkai handed over the information to the Third Hokage who was smoking a cigarette and puffing away smoke in front of him.

The Third Hokage nodded slightly and briefly glanced at the report information. His eyes tilted and fell on the three students behind him, especially the boy wearing the skull mask, which concerned him the most.

He knew everything about what Rock Li was going through, but he had to suppress it for the sake of the stability of the village.

I feel a little guilty for him.

"There are still ten days left before the genin election. Your efficiency is good. You may have a chance to compete. You understand what I mean, Kai."

Metkai was very alert. They completed the C-level tasks ordered ten days in advance. Even if they were exhausted, it was still worth it.

Moreover, it was within his plan to complete the task ahead of schedule. He would use the extra time to teach his three beloved disciples a forbidden physical technique. Whether they could learn it or not was another matter. The main thing was to prevent it in advance.

Xiao Li's current genin are basically not eligible to participate in the election except for his own class, and their opponents are genin from previous years or more qualified. Not only are they rich in experience, but their strength cannot be underestimated.

After handing over the task, the four of them left the Hokage Tower. Metkai gave a few instructions and left first.

Xiao Li stretched his body and said comfortably: "You two, I'm going to go back and have a good rest first. See you tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, Cranetail, I have something to ask you."

Neji called to him.

Xiao Li stopped and turned his head with a puzzled expression.

"Anything else?"

"I have discovered some problems during this period. During the battle last month, you did not try your best. I can feel it. I want to ask you, if the two of us try our best, can you defeat me?"

Neji's face was extremely serious.

Xiao Li turned his back to him and shook his hand: "I think you think too much. It's natural that you are too tired recently. Okay, I'll leave first."

Neji watched Xiao Li leave in silence, feeling unwilling to do so.

Tiantian joked: "Ningji, I didn't expect that you also have a sense of crisis. Don't worry, you are a genius. Although Xiao Li works hard, it is impossible to surpass you."

"Tiantian, you rarely fight against him. You don't understand the feeling when fighting. I can understand intimately that I can't defeat him with my current strength."

Neji shook his head and sighed.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to accept the fact that he had been surpassed by Xiao Li. This didn't require a life-and-death fight. With an intuition, he could tell the strength of his opponent at a glance.

"Ningji..."

Tenten wanted to comfort Neji, but didn't know what to say.

"I have always believed that human destiny is unchangeable, and I firmly believe in the so-called fatalism, but now it is broken."

"Well...that's good..."

At this moment, a certain shackle in his heart was loosened, and he felt a sublime feeling in his mind.

He is a genius.

No matter the ninja talent or brains, they are not comparable to ordinary ninjas.

Xiao Li chose to avoid talking about it because he wanted to take care of himself and let himself notice that he was waiting for him to catch up with him!

He never thought that there would be a moment when he wanted to become stronger!

"Tiantian, you have to work hard and catch up with us quickly. See you tomorrow."

Back at the relief house, Xiao Li started to take a medicated bath and make a soup. The medicated bath can unblock the muscles and veins, help blood circulation, and remove complex toxins from the body, while the medicated soup can replenish the body.

Two months of medicinal bathing and soup-making cost a huge amount of tens of millions of silver.

At first, the effect was great, but now, the more times it is used, the more effective it is.

"The method of medicated baths can be gradually reduced, but the medicated soup cannot be discontinued. It seems that this path is not a long-term solution."

The medicinal formulas he knows now are not very useful to him. The reason why the medicinal soup cannot be broken is because the power of the giant grip has not been completed yet and he needs to continue to drink medicine.

When he finished all this, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Seeing that the time was almost up, he put on his clothes, walked to the small box in the room, opened the box, took out a stack of banknotes from the box, and walked downstairs.

"Xiao Li, today's goods have arrived."

A cleanly dressed middle-aged man carried a large bag of packed medicinal materials and handed it to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li smelled the permeating smell of medicinal materials, took out some silver and handed it to the other party.

The other party skillfully took it into his arms.

"Next time it will be the same as usual?"

The middle-aged man asked tentatively.

Xiao Li is a big customer of their pharmacy. The medicinal materials purchased in the past two months have supported their turnover for most of the year, and the medicinal materials purchased are all expensive.

Xiao Li shook his head helplessly when he thought that apart from the power of the medicinal soup, the effect of the medicinal bath was minimal.

"Uncle, I may only take it once a month in the future. Now the effect of the medicinal bath is not very helpful to my body."

The middle-aged man was a little panicked when he heard this. After all, this person was their big customer. If the order volume was reduced, it would be a big loss to the pharmacy's turnover.

"Xiao Li, if I guess correctly, you use these medicinal materials to assist the body? To promote cultivation?"

The middle-aged man delivers medicinal materials to Xiao Li once a week, and he is already familiar with them. He can then roughly judge the usefulness of these medicinal materials from the medicinal materials that Xiao Li buys.

Xiao Li thinks these are no secrets and said bluntly: "Now the tasks are getting more and more dangerous. I must keep getting stronger. No matter what method I use, I only have one life after all."

"Besides, you should have heard the rumors about me. I only know taijutsu and am terrible at ninjutsu. I have no choice but to rely on taijutsu."

The middle-aged man expressed deep sympathy and seemed to have thought of something and said: "Recently, there is a batch of special medicinal materials from the Nara family. Several of them can help strengthen muscles and bones when combined with medicinal baths, and have the effect of increasing chakra, but they are expensive. , and you need to ask the boss for instructions, you see..."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Really? Can you deliver it to me tomorrow? Money is not an issue!"

Seeing Xiao Li's excited expression, the middle-aged man did not forget to remind him: "You are still a genin now, and you can't make much money by doing tasks. So, let me go and give you a discount with the boss. You need to prepare about 500 million silver taels." .”

"Five million silver taels..."

Xiao Li's face darkened. The price was indeed ridiculously expensive. He was not worried about the possibility of the other party quoting arbitrarily because their drugstore was a time-honored brand and could be regarded as a conscientious one. The middle-aged man in front of him, Noi Ichito, was pretty good and quite satisfactory.

Seeing Xiao Li's hesitation, Nojingsheng reassured: "You are our old customer. If you are short of money, we can pay you what you owe first. It won't be too late to pay us back when you have completed the task and have money."

Xiao Li pretended to be firm and said with a smile: "My companion's family is quite rich. It should be no problem for me to borrow it from them. You can help me prepare it tomorrow, at this time."

"it is good."

Back in the room, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. As a genin, buying nearly 1000 million silver taels of medicinal materials was a huge sum of money. The other party could think that it was his savings and money accumulated from doing tasks, but he took 500 million at once. When money comes out, it is easy for the other party to become suspicious, so it is better to be careful when doing things.

Although he has a huge amount of money, it is all stolen money, and it is easy to cause problems if he is too high-profile.

Thinking back to the question Neji asked himself in the evening, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems it's time to remind my friends about their practice."
