Chapter 227: Brother Fu Has No Money Left

"This sounds like the ability of the Thousand Hands Clan."

Uchiha Fugaku picked up a test tube with wild eyes, then drank it in one gulp, then closed his eyes with a flushed face.

Unlike Ming Jing, who has the ability to slowly restore his pupil power independently, the pupil power he used in the past is gone, so he is very eager for this kind of medicine that can replenish his pupil power.

"As expected of Orochimaru-senpai."

Ming Jing also picked up a test tube and looked at the golden light flowing on it, and couldn't help but admire it.

This potion almost has the effect of fundamentally transforming the human body of an immortal.

Although the transplanted White Zetsu cells can obtain most of the abilities of the immortal body without any sequelae, if the White Zetsu cells are taken away, these effects will be lost.

And for Ming Jing, the physical body composed of Bai Jue cells is not strong enough.

For ordinary ninjas, this may not be bad, but for Ming Jing who has now honed his physical body to an extremely high level, this is still far from it.

From this aspect, this potion is indeed more suitable for me.

"Uh..."

Uchiha Fugaku groaned and opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"The several attacks during the Third Ninja World War almost used up nearly 30% of my pupil power, but this potion alone almost restored my pupil power to a state close to when I first opened my eyes!"

Uchiha Fugaku felt his full pupils and couldn't help but said excitedly.

"It's pretty much what I expected. Three to four potions are enough to restore the entire pupil power of a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. And if you take it for many years, you can also achieve a certain effect of autonomously restoring pupil power."

Orochimaru stood aside and observed Uchiha Fugaku's changes, asked a few more questions, and quickly copied Fugaku's answers into his portable manual.

"The effect of autonomously restoring pupil power? How long does this mean over the years?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously again.

"Without consuming the power of the medicine to restore pupil power, taking one pill a month can maximize the effect of the medicine, which will last for fifteen years."

"Fifteen years..."

Uchiha Fugaku is in his early thirties this year, and he will still be in his prime fifteen years later, which is acceptable.

But the premise is that no medicine is used to restore pupil power during this process, the actual time should be further extended.

"So considering Obito's age, if he can insist on taking it daily, he can gain this ability when his peak period has just arrived."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Nohara Rin who was lying on the table looking at the potion curiously, muttering something about him just after they separated.

There were originally nine golden potions on the table. Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru used one one after another, and now there are still seven.

Ming Jing also took one at this time.

Now there are only six.

"Does Chief Fugaku want to expand the scale of production?"

Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly and said to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Of course, the current potions are definitely not enough for the three owners of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Senior Orochimaru also has a lot of credit for developing this potion, so he should also occupy a share of it. Of course, we must expand the production scale!"

Ming Jing, who opened his eyes at this time, interjected.

His Mangekyou Sharingan has a certain ability to recover independently. At the end of the war, he also paid attention to reducing the use of pupil power. Coupled with this bottle of potion, pupil power suddenly returned to 89% of what it was when the eyes were first opened.

and……

Ming Jing looked at his arm.

In his own perception, Ming Jing could detect a warm force traveling within the muscles of his body, strengthening his already strong body.

"Then let me count the expenses for you."

Orochimaru was so happy to be able to collect the wool of the wealthy Uchiha clan for experimental research.

"To make potions, you first need to cultivate special New White Zetsu cells. This requires the use of a large amount of high-quality medicinal materials with yang chakra, and also requires the use of that person's legacy. If you want to multiply the latter, you also need a large number of similar items. In addition, the success rate of making serum is not high, so it is estimated that one tube will cost about 6 million taels..."

What Orochimaru's plan was, it was clear to the mirror.

The actual cost is estimated to be only about 60% of what Orochimaru said, or even less.

Orochimaru did this simply because he wanted to get more funds to research his other experiments.

“It’s a little more expensive, but still within a reasonable range.”

After Ming Jing looked at it for a while, he said.

Seeing Ming Jing, an expert, say this, Uchiha Fugaku seemed very excited, but soon fell into hesitation.

"One potion costs six million taels. If a person takes one pill a month, it will cost 72 million taels a year. Three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan is more than 200 million taels, and you have to add Orochimaru-senpai. That’s nearly three hundred million taels.”

After Uchiha Fugaku calculated carefully, he fell silent.

It is known that the worth of an elite jonin with political status and at the peak of his age like Sarutobi Asuma is 35 million taels. So 300 million is enough to buy the heads of seven or eight Asumas.

To put it in perspective, there are about three hundred S-level missions. This is a number that is not enough even if all the S-level missions currently performed by the Konoha Sannin are added up.

And this is just one year's consumption.

Even though the Uchiha clan has a big business, it can't afford it. There are still such a large group of clan members to support.

"Three hundred million taels a year is indeed too much. Even if Sunagakure Village is defeated, the compensation based on Konoha will only be one billion taels, and it will be paid off over twenty years."

Uchiha Fugaku said with a sigh.

After hearing this number, Uchiha Obito was so frightened that his Mangekyou Sharingan opened his eyes.

The total money he earned during his years as a ninja was probably not even enough to make up one million taels.

Orochimaru was a little anxious.

Although he didn't call it a lion's mouth before, the price was exaggerated. He mainly wanted to see how rich the Uchiha clan really was.

But in fact, although the Uchiha clan can come up with hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the short term based on their past experience, if they want to invest so much money every year in the future, it will undoubtedly have a big impact on the family.

"Well, Mr. Fugaku, you can invest an additional 50 million taels for me to buy new equipment and improve the production line. By then, the cost can be reduced to 4 million taels a piece, and we can also work with you in the future. Cooperating with families engaged in the production of medicinal materials such as the Nara clan and purchasing at internal channel prices can further reduce costs. "

Orochimaru began to take the initiative to advise Uchiha Fugaku.

"I think it is ok, Chief Fugaku. If our plan this year is successful, the family will also be able to gain a lot of benefits. With the end of the many years of ninja wars, the economic development of the ninja world should enter a period of rapid development and prosperity. During this period, the family’s annual income will be several times higher than at its peak.”

Der Spiegel also made suggestions.

And Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru also knew what Mingjing was talking about.

When Kato Dan becomes the Fourth Hokage, the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru will each obtain a high-level position in Konoha.

Moreover, he is still a high-level person with real power, because Kato Dan needs to gather his allies to suppress the interest groups composed of the Third Hokage and the older generation of high-level people.

Relying on this position, they will gain immeasurable benefits!

Just like several senior executives now.

"Yes, but after the previous batch of funds, it will take some time for the family to mobilize funds if it wants to come up with the 50 million taels. However, I can personally contribute 30 million taels."

Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and agreed, taking part of the personal wealth he had accumulated over the years.

"My family is not as rich as the Fugaku clan leader, but I can still afford ten million taels."

Compared to Ming Jing, Uchiha Fugaku is much older and has naturally accumulated more wealth, and the former has to help Kato Dan from time to time————

Sometimes Kato loses all his money to Tsunade in gambling, and has no choice but to seek help from his three beloved disciples.

Uchiha Obito was sweating profusely and rummaging through his wallet.

"I, I, I offer four hundred and thirty-five thousand one hundred and two taels!"

Uchiha Obito reported out a series of numbers that were both zero and complete.

All his family assets are here.

…

…

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village, Pier.

"Hey! Kuina! I'll let you take the first step this time. When I go to sea, I will definitely catch up with you and become the world's number one swordsman!"

A young man with a green algae head made his hands like trumpets and shouted loudly into the distance.

Koushiro was wearing a long black coat, standing behind Zoro and looking at the ships in the distance that were getting smaller.

At the stern of the ship, Kuina, who had grown into a young girl, kept waving in the distance until the land disappeared from sight.

"So, Dorag, do you think of me as some kind of nanny?"

Ming Jing held the phone bug in his hand and looked at the two boys and girls opposite him with a speechless expression.

The man has short blond hair, a top hat on his head, and a cane in his hand, looking like an elegant gentleman.

The woman has a faint smile on her face, and looks very gentle with short orange hair. On a pair of brown high-top boots, there is a pair of slender black stockings.

"Ah, Sabo and Kerra have reached the age to set sail, and their identities have not yet been exposed to the World Government. They are very suitable to be your partners in this operation!"

The dragon's voice came from among the phone bugs.

"And Kerra is also a very good navigator, which will definitely be of great help to you in your future voyages. In addition, I have asked Sabo to bring the animal devil fruits that you asked me to help collect before. went."

Following the dragon's voice, Sabo took off his politeness gracefully and took out a black devil fruit.

This is a devil fruit that is somewhat similar in shape to a strawberry, with extensions on both sides that look like the wings of some kind of black bird.

"This is the bird fruit, crow form, Captain Yuan Yi."

Ming Jing took the animal-type Devil Fruit from Sabo's hand.

"All right."

Everyone is already on the boat, and these two brats look pretty good. As long as they don't cause trouble to themselves, what does it matter?

And when it comes to taking care of students, Mingjing itself has experience in this kind of thing.

"Then Sabo and Kerla will be trained by you. As for this fruit, although I don't know what you want it to do, I still don't recommend you to eat this fruit. If you want to become an esper If so, the Revolutionary Army can help you find better fruits."

"Thank you, Dorag, but I have other uses for this fruit and I won't use it for food."

Ming Jing shook his head and said.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll hang up first."

"Wait, let me tell you one last thing."

"Help me investigate the pirates who are closer to the waters of Shuangyue Village and use them to train the three young people. After all, there are too few powerful characters in the East China Sea, so I have to spend a lot of time finding them myself."

"Is that so? Just wait a moment."

Not long after, Dorag sent a message.

"Kuina, raise the sails, Kerla, turn the helm! Head to the Konomi Islands!"

…

…

Konomi Islands.

It is located in the northwest of the East China Sea. It has more than 20 islands of various sizes and is under the jurisdiction of the 16th branch of the Navy.

Poconoa Village, a village that used to be oppressed by the Dragon Pirates but could barely survive, has now become a paradise for pirates to plunder.

"Captain, this is the territory of the Dragon Pirates. Are we really going to be fine if we come here to plunder?"

A burly pirate carried the treasure he had just plundered on his back, and said worriedly to an ugly fat woman.

"Hmph, they must be at the Dragon Paradise on the coast now. How can they have time to take care of me, the most beautiful person in the world?"

Arrita touched her face pretending to be charming and said in a rough tone.

The pirate cadre could only suppress his nausea and praised the captain's beauty.

At this moment, four figures walked up to the corner of the street.

"Did you see that ugly fat woman with freckles on her face and holding an iron rod?"

Ming Jing pointed at Arrita in the distance and said to the three people behind him.

"Teacher Yuanyi, she must be our target for this trial!"

Guina excitedly pulled out the long knife from her waist and said.

"No, no, no, she is not qualified. She is just unhappy to see someone so ugly and still doing evil, so I just want to add an appetizer for you before the trial."

Ming Jing raised a finger, shook it and said.

"Damn it, you dare to call me, the most beautiful woman in the world, ugly! It's so unforgivable! Come on, little ones, kill them!"

Arrita waved the iron rod in her hand angrily, calling for her men to take action.

Ming Jing keeps talking about the word "ugly", how can she tolerate it?

Even though, this red-haired swordsman doesn’t look easy to mess with.
