I am making alchemy in Naruto

"You families are responsible for supply and sales, while we at the root are only responsible for refining elixirs."

"We decide the output of the elixir, and it's enough to make a lot of money at the same time. It's up to you to do the sales."

"After all, on the one hand, you have the foundation of selling medicinal materials, and on the other hand, our roots are not suitable for business."

Kabuto Yakushi stared at Shikaku and slowly expressed his thoughts.

Not only did this plan of giving away money for free not arouse Shikaku's interest, but it actually made him frown.

Obviously, with Shikaku's intelligence, he had already guessed Kabuto Yakushi's thoughts.

If they really engage in supply and sales, the family will definitely be deeply tied to the elixir business, and it will be difficult to get out of it.

What kind of binding method?

Think about it, if you do sales, then the existing sales scale needs to be expanded, which will inevitably require a large number of people from the clan to be recruited.

At that time, the employment of so many tribesmen will be tied to the carriage at the root.

If there is a problem at the root, there will be problems with the business, and eventually there will be problems with the employment of the Nara people.

Correspondingly, Roots can also indirectly control the Nara clan through this binding.

When that time really comes, even if Nara Shikaku wants to jump off the bus, countless Nara people will vote with their feet, either to leave the family or to change to an obedient clan leader.

This is easy to understand. Not long ago, the elders of the Uchiha clan, representing the clan members, joined forces to oust the clan leader.

As for supply business, that is different from sales.

According to Shikaku's estimate, although the supply needs to be expanded, on the one hand, the manpower required is relatively small, which he can still bear. On the other hand, if the roots are really down, he can also supply medicinal materials or other aspects, and there is no need to tie him to Dan. In the pharmaceutical business.

As for recruiting other sales staff, it is even less realistic.

It would be okay if both sides were equally divided. Shikaku would have enough reasons and excuses to suppress the clan members.

But if he were to do sales alone, he would have no reason to refuse the tribe's employment requirements. At that time, the majority of the sales staff would still be tribesmen, and he would be firmly trapped in the chariot.

This was really embarrassing for Shikaku.

Seeing Shikaku who was deep in thought, Kabuto Yakushi was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.

He knew that with Shikaku's intelligence, he would naturally realize the meaning behind him.

This is a big decision for Shikaku, so Kabuto Yakushi should give him enough time to think about it.

"Kabuto, you...are really making it difficult for me."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Jiu said this with a wry smile. It was obvious that he had not yet made a decision.

"This matter is of great importance. Chief Shikaku, you should think twice before taking action!"

In response to Shikaku's wry smile, Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses and reminded him with a smile.

"If nothing else, how can I explain this to Mr. Hokage?"

Shikaku asked a question.

Although the difference between the two methods is very obscure and difficult for ordinary people to think of, it does not include Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, it is impossible for someone who can sit in the position of Hokage to have a few brushes.

Just imagine, if Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Shikaku what plan he had chosen, Shikaku would be very passive.

Answering truthfully is like saying that I don't think highly of you anymore, and I think more highly of Yakushi Kabuto, so bye.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

If he lied or stretched his arms vaguely, the consequences would be even worse when Hiruzen Sarutobi came to his senses.

"That's a good question, but it's you who need to answer to Hokage-sama, not me."

Faced with this problem, Kabuto Yakushi did not answer. He would not stand up for several families and confront Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Of course, since he wanted Shikaku to choose his own plan, he couldn't have expressed it at all.

Shikaku also understood this and remained silent, waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's words.

Both parties know that all kinds of agreement or disagreement are ultimately just about whether the interests are sufficient or not. Everything is just interests.

If he wanted to agree to his plan, Yakushi Kabuto had to come up with something suitable.

"Clan leader Shikaku, why don't you try this first."

Yakushi Kabuto took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Nara Shikaku, while showing a knowing smile.

Seeing this, Shikaku understood that this was Kabuto Yakushi's bargaining chip.

He took the porcelain bottle and poured out a round black pill, then looked at the pharmacist's pocket with questioning eyes.

After seeing Yakushi Kabuto's signal, Shikaku swallowed the elixir without hesitation.

The elixir melted in his mouth, and Shikaku also noticed a strange chakra appearing in his body, nourishing his limbs and bones.

As the effect of the elixir gradually disappeared, Shikaku was also surprised to find that his chakra was more concentrated.

"Chief Shikaku might as well try your Nara clan's shadow ninjutsu."

After seeing Lu Jiu take the yin attribute pill, pharmacist Kabuto encouraged him.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu did not hesitate and quickly formed seals with his hands:

"Shadow Mimicry!"

For Nara Shikaku, this is a very basic ninjutsu, which is most suitable for practicing.

As for the Black Higan Flower and the Shadow Head-Stringing Technique, although they are very powerful, they are not meant for practicing.

Following a dark chakra fluctuation, Shikaku's shadow stretched miraculously, and then covered Yakushi Kabuto's shadow.

"this……?!!"

Soon, after taking back his shadow, Lu Jiu fell into shock!

Even though he was extremely smart, he would never have expected this situation.

First, the magic of the elixir not only increased the range and intensity of his shadow imitation technique, but also reduced chakra consumption.

This is just one pill. If there were a few more pills, wouldn't his combat power be doubled?

How could this not shock Shikaku!

In addition, another thing that shocked Shikaku was Kabuto Yakushi's strength.

Just now, he used the shadow imitation technique to restrain Yakushi Kabuto's shadow to restrict his movements.

But in Shikaku's feeling, he seemed to be facing a super huge chakra, and it was just easy to break his shadow.

He knew from Hiruzen Sarutobi that Kabuto Yakushi had killed Danzo and mastered Wood Release, so he thought he was mentally prepared enough.

But when he really faced Kabuto Yakushi's strength, Shikaku realized that he had underestimated him.

That kind of power is already comparable to that of Hokage-sama.

Shikaku thought.

When Shikaku was shocked, Yakushi Kabuto smiled slightly, obviously having achieved his goal, he said with a smile:

"How about it, Chief Lujiu, if we reach a cooperation, not only will there be Jin Chuang Dan, but this kind of elixir will also be included in the scope of cooperation, and there may be other elixirs in the future."

He not only took out some other pills, but also showed his strength in disguise. If Shikaku still couldn't make up his mind, Yakushi Kabuto would have no choice but to find another partner.

"Kabuto, I agree with your plan..."
