Chapter 104 Rasa and Minato Namikaze
"Lord Rasa, traces of Konoha ninja have been discovered in the city ahead!"
"Pursue them immediately!"
"Yes!"
During this period, Rasa led a large number of Sand Ninja to wipe out several teams of Konoha Ninja, and the Konoha Ninja they discovered this time was none other than Minato Namikaze.
At this time, although Minato Namikaze had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had only studied it for a short time and was not yet proficient in its application. The same was true for his Summoning Technique and Sage Technique.
Overall, Minato Namikaze's current strength is that of an elite Jonin, but he has not reached the level of the "Yellow Flash" era a few years later, let alone the level he achieved when he served as Hokage.
After several battles, Minato Namikaze was almost out of ammunition and supplies, while the number of Sand Ninja continued to increase. They gradually mastered the characteristics of the Flying Thunder God Technique and formed a huge encirclement, trapping Minato Namikaze.
Meanwhile, Kyosuke was on his way to the rescue.
"I never would have guessed that Kyosuke would choose to go and rescue Minato Namikaze. What a rare moment of glory."
Kiichiro, holding a rattan cane, trained the four members of the Oni-Fuji group while being astonished by Kyosuke's choice.
At noon, Kiichiro arrived at a forest outside the manor and entered the underground research lab.
This is an underground space created by Kiichiro using ninjutsu, and various equipment has already been placed there.
"Now, let's begin the first study: culturing and propagating cell tissues."
Following the instructions in the book, Kiichiro operated the machine and began to cultivate his own cells as a form of learning and practice.
Because he had no experience, Kiichiro was not only slow, but also often made mistakes in the steps. He had to frequently refer to books and write down the problems that were difficult to solve, so that he could ask Kyosuke and the others at night, or buy books to look them up himself.
From the very first step of his research, Kiichiro developed a new catchphrase.
Observe the cell structure.
"I'm so bored."
Prepare the culture medium.
"I'm so bored."
Waiting for cell division.
"I'm so bored."
Even the simplest experiment required patience and took Kiichiro quite a bit of his time.
It's not passionate at all, not exciting at all.
Why would Orochimaru enjoy doing these things?
After three days of experimentation, Kiichiro finally mastered the simplest cell culture technique.
"Ugh, at this rate, when will we ever get to research bloodline limits? God, please, give me some kind of unexpected event to rescue me from this tedious experiment!"
Just when Oniichiro was about to go crazy, the butler, Mikuri Tomokazu, brought good news.
"Young Master, because of the war between the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja, our hotel's revenue has almost disappeared, and the mines are almost depleted. If we don't find a new source of income, we will go bankrupt."
Actually, Tomokazu Mikuri harbored some resentment towards Kiichiro, because Kiichiro had been spending too much money lately, and his cash flow was about to dry up.
"Oh! That's great, that's wonderful!"
Upon hearing the butler's words, Oniichiro immediately perked up, leaving Mikuri Tomokazu dumbfounded, wondering if Oniichiro was mentally unstable.
"I used to think making money was boring, but compared to research, making money is so much more interesting!"
Mikuri Tomokazu looked at Kiichiro with a worried expression: "Young master, do you have a solution?"
Kiichiro laughed and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Kiichiro's method of making money is very simple: extracting antibiotics.
Perhaps because of the existence of chakra, medical ninjutsu is highly advanced in this world, and even medical research is closely related to chakra and ninjutsu.
This is normal, after all, chakra and ninjutsu are indeed very magical, to the point of turning the tide of life and death. In comparison, traditional medicine is slow and ineffective, so countries naturally invest their resources in medical ninjutsu.
This is why traditional medicine in this world is not well-developed, and antibiotics have not yet been discovered.
Of course, in his previous life, Kiichiro only knew that antibiotics could be extracted from mold, but he didn't know the specific process.
However, he had acquired a lot of medical knowledge in his life, so extracting antibiotics was not difficult.
Although this world has medical ninjutsu, most people are not qualified to enjoy it, so as long as antibiotics can be mass-produced, there is no worry about finding a market for them.
Even in war, the ninjas who suffer heavy casualties will need a lot of antibiotics, since the number of medical ninjas is limited and their chakra is also limited, so their efficiency in saving lives is not high.
Without hesitation, Kiichiro began collecting various molds, extracting various antibiotics, testing the effectiveness of the antibiotics, and selecting the most suitable one.
"Speaking of which, extracting antibiotics is also a kind of experiment, so why doesn't it feel boring? Is it because it's profitable?"
"Yes, that should be it!"
In the laboratory, Kiichiro asked himself questions and answered them, and in just two days, he selected five types of mycotoxins that could kill bacteria.
"Next, we need to conduct clinical trials to see which mycotoxin is harmless to humans, and then we can improve the production process and start large-scale production."
"I remember, in my past life, penicillin was priced the same as gold. Even if this world has amazing medical ninjutsu, penicillin will still make a lot of money."
"Where should we find volunteers for the experiment? Buy criminals? Recruit vagrants? Or arrest people ourselves?"
Back at the manor, Kiichiro ate his meal while pondering the matter, when he suddenly saw his butler, Mikuri Tomokazu, running over.
"Young Master, something terrible has happened! A group of ninjas have come over and are trying to extort us!"
Mikuri Tomokazu was covered in sweat and panting heavily; clearly, the ninja outside the door had been very impolite and had frightened this honest middle-aged man.
Upon hearing Mikuri Tomokazu's words, Kiichiro grabbed Mikuri Tomokazu's hand and almost jumped for joy.
"Uncle, you must be a magpie reincarnated, always bringing me good news, hahaha."
Mikuri Tomokazu's right hand broke free from Kiichiro and pressed it onto Kiichiro's head: "Young master, are you running a fever? These ninjas are here to extort us. They all look fierce and menacing. They might even kill us."
After swatting away Mikuri Tomokazu's hand, Kiichiro strode towards the yard's exit: "Let's go see how many kind people there are. They've actually volunteered. We can't refuse such enthusiastic people, or we'll chill their hearts!"
The four members of the Ghost Vine have been eating and sleeping well during this time, and have gradually emerged from the shadow of their families' destruction and death, becoming more lively in personality.
They were training when they heard someone causing trouble and wanted to go see what was going on, but when they saw the vine in Kiichiro's hand, they felt pain all over their bodies and could only suppress their curiosity and continue their training.
"Boss, why are you only extorting money? Why don't we just storm in and take all the money?"
"Yeah, boss. I just scouted the area. There are no ninjas here, just ordinary people. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Outside the manor gates, the ninja leader, hearing his subordinates' complaints, was also somewhat tempted.
"The manor looked quite grand, so I thought there might be ninja guards, but there aren't any. Tsk tsk, this family is really carefree. Well, in that case, let's charge in!"
These wandering ninjas, upon hearing that the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja were at war, came to the Land of the Moon, intending to take advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, and plunder.
Of course, whether it's Rain Ninja or Mist Ninja, they would kill any wandering ninja they encountered without mercy, so they didn't dare to stay long and planned to make a quick buck and then escape.
