Chapter 183: New Medicine from Senju Pharmaceuticals

"Have Itachi heard about the new product from Senju Pharmaceuticals?"

"Are Itachi talking about the one for treating inflammation?"

"Of course not! That was last month's product! I'm talking about this month's!"

"What is it? What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Hehe, this product is incredible! It's for recovering from disabilities!"

"What? Can Senju Pharmaceuticals' new product restore severed limbs?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I said recovering from disabilities, not including severed limbs."

"What? It can actually resurrect people who just died?"

"I never said that! Itachi're spreading such outrageous rumors! Who would believe that?"

"What? Senju Pharmaceuticals' new product can actually bring the dead back to life?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are Itachi even listening to me?"

"What! Senju Pharmaceuticals—"

"..."

The news that Senju Pharmaceuticals was selling a new product quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

And this product attracted widespread attention.

It was for the reconnection of damaged nerves, meaning it could restore sensation to the limbs of disabled people, thereby turning them into normal people!

Of course, it only included patients whose limbs were still connected; it had no effect on those who were missing limbs.

As for whether there would be treatment products for those patients in the future, one could only say that one should trust Orochimaru's research capabilities.

And this news naturally reached the ears of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire had many children.

And there was one child among them whom he had loved since childhood.

But once, while out hunting, the child was accidentally thrown by a startled horse and suffered a heavy fall.

From then on, the Daimyo's child became paralyzed and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around every day.

The Daimyo had tried many methods, but even Tsunade Senju had been helpless at the time.

Helpless, the Daimyo could only give up.

Unexpectedly, hope was rekindled today.

For the sake of his child's future health, the Daimyo immediately summoned Kakuzu, who was in charge of external trade.

Kakuzu also had a long-standing friendship with the Daimyo.

The Daimyo didn't know how many products under Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's banner he had purchased.

He was a VVVIP customer under Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.

"Mr. Kakuzu, I summoned Itachi here this time because of your new product."

"Does it really have the effect Itachi advertised?"

Kakuzu felt a bit ashamed.

Recently, some strange rumors had been circulating about their new product.

It was said that it could bring the dead back to life and regrow bones!

That was too ridiculous!

How could someone who was already dead be saved?

Kakuzu thought the Daimyo had believed the rumors and wanted to resurrect someone.

That was something they absolutely could not do.

"Well, Lord Daimyo, please do not listen to the rumors outside; our product does not have such an exaggerated effect."

"Is that so?"

The Daimyo couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

In fact, he hadn't had the chance to hear those rumors yet.

After hearing the advertised effects of the product, he immediately notified and summoned Kakuzu.

But Kakuzu wasn't in the Land of Fire at that time, so he arrived a day or two late.

This led to a slight information gap between the two parties.

The Daimyo was currently feeling disappointed.

Kakuzu said with an apologetic smile.

"The rumors are simply too exaggerated; how could our product possibly bring the dead back to life?"

"Such a thing, I'm afraid even the legendary Sage of Six Paths might not be able to do it."

The Daimyo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said.

"Is that the rumor Itachi're talking about? Then is your medicine's efficacy the same as what Itachi advertised? Is there any deviation in the effect?"

"If it's our own advertisement, it naturally has sufficient experimental evidence."

Kakuzu said confidently immediately.

The Daimyo clapped his hands immediately.

"Then good, test it for me now; I want to see the efficacy."

"Right here?"

Kakuzu looked at the people around him.

"But there is no suitable patient."

"That is no—"

The Daimyo waved his hand, wanting to have his disabled son brought over.

But he heard Kakuzu say.

"In that case, then I will have to offend."

Saying this, Kakuzu grabbed a guard directly, and a kunai had already appeared in his hand.

*Swish.*

He slashed at the back of the guard's neck.

Immediately, the guard screamed and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"My, my body, I can't feel my body!"

The guard screamed miserably, weeping bitterly.

Having lost control of his body, the guard fell into a panic.

This sudden change startled everyone present.

The other guards hurriedly surrounded Kakuzu, while Kakuzu raised his hands, and the blood-stained kunai in his hand also dropped to the ground with a clatter.

"Wait!"

The Daimyo raised his hand, signaling the guards to stop.

He knew that Kakuzu would certainly not commit an assassination.

Kakuzu doing this must be to use this unlucky guard as a test subject.

As it happened, the Daimyo also needed a test subject.

After all, the one receiving the treatment was his son.

Just now, he hadn't considered it because he was in a hurry.

But since Kakuzu was so thoughtful, although blood was shed here, he could forgive it.

As long as the efficacy was as Kakuzu said, it would be fine.

In the scene, only the guard whose nerves had been severed lay on the ground, screaming helplessly.

The other guards surrounded Kakuzu, but because of the Daimyo's order, they stood frozen, looking at each other.

Kakuzu looked at the Daimyo calmly, without the slightest look of panic.

Even though his recent behavior was considered too rebellious by ordinary people.

He didn't care in the slightest.

After all, the one backing him up was Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye!

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would never dare to offend Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye at this time.

Kakuzu said openly and honestly.

"Please wait a moment, my lord; I will immediately demonstrate the effect of our company's latest product for Itachi."

"Hmm, start quickly, what are Itachi waiting for?"

The Daimyo was even more impatient than Kakuzu.

The other guards looked at each other and slowly retreated.

Kakuzu took out an ointment and applied it to the wound of the guard on the ground.

Because the nerves were severed, the guard didn't feel anything.

But soon, he felt a tingling sensation in his neck.

Subsequently, the pain began to appear and gradually intensified.

At the same time, the guard felt his hands and feet again.

"I'm better! I can feel my body! Hahaha! I'm fine!"

"Great! Great!"

The guard jumped up directly, screaming and jumping wildly.

The feeling of regaining what was lost made him completely forget where he was.

And when the Daimyo saw that the effect was so fast, his eyes lit up.

From the time Kakuzu applied the ointment to the time the medicine took effect, it was less than a minute.

This was a nerve-severing injury!

It actually took effect so quickly!

It was incredible!

The Daimyo knew that his poor son would finally be able to step on the ground with his own feet again.

"Quick! How much is this medicine? I'll buy it!"

The Daimyo said excitedly.

And Kakuzu said slowly.

"Lord Daimyo, the effect of this ointment is indeed very rare, but there is one thing I need to remind Itachi of."

"The reason this guard's nerves could be repaired so quickly is because his injury was a fresh one."

"To deal with old injuries of several years, or even decades, it takes about one to two months."

"If it is congenital nerve atrophy, it will take a longer time to treat."

The Daimyo's excited heart calmed down slightly, and he understood what Kakuzu meant.

It was nothing more than reminding him that the effect varied from person to person.

The Daimyo was mentally prepared for this.

Anyway, as long as it could be treated, it didn't matter how much it cost.

Next, the two agreed on the quantity to be purchased.

Kakuzu also gave a sufficient discount according to Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye's instructions.

Both parties completed this transaction happily.

Regarding the discount, Kakuzu had already become accustomed to it after these years of operation.

If it were in the past, knowing how much money these discounts represented, he would definitely not have agreed no matter what.

But now, the money Kakuzu possessed was simply too much.

With so much money, his past concepts had also undergone some slight changes.

At least he wouldn't risk his life for this money anymore.

After explaining some precautions for using the medicine, Kakuzu left the Daimyo's mansion.

Next, there were still many places waiting for him to go and promote it.

But.

Just as Kakuzu left the border of the Land of Fire and prepared to head to the Land of Earth, he was intercepted.

Someone had been waiting on his only path.

Kakuzu didn't recognize this person, but he had already heard about the opponent's special eyes from his own Boss.

"So it's the famous leader of the Akatsuki; I wonder what Itachi want by blocking my path?"

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, staring at Pain Deva Path who was blocking his way.

Pain Deva Path said with an indifferent expression.

"Our Akatsuki organization is committed to establishing a..."

"Alright, alright, I don't care what your Akatsuki organization wants to do."

Kakuzu interrupted Pain Deva Path impatiently, frowning and saying.

"If there's nothing else, don't block my way; I still have a lot of business to discuss."

Although he seemed careless, Kakuzu was secretly prepared to pull out a scroll and summon his Boss's clone at any time.

After all, these were the legendary eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, worthy of Kakuzu's vigilance.

Originally, Pain Deva Path wanted to promote his Akatsuki organization and then recruit Kakuzu.

Kakuzu's strength clearly met the recruitment requirements of the Akatsuki.

Unfortunately.

Kakuzu had already chosen a good tree to perch on, so he naturally wouldn't get on the broken ship of the Akatsuki.

"I want your new product."

Pain Deva Path didn't talk nonsense and stated his request directly.

When Kakuzu heard this, he immediately said with a smile.

"So it's a guest; I wonder how many courses of treatment Itachi intend to have? Dear?"

"According to the estimated treatment cycle, if the nerve rupture is within one year, it is recommended to purchase one course of the product."

"If it is one to three years, it is recommended to purchase two courses."

"Three to five years, it is recommended to purchase three courses."

"Five to ten years, it is recommended to purchase five courses."
