"Remember to pick a few more suppliers."
"Also, I suggest adding the Nara Clan to the list of suppliers. It would be best to reach a long-term and stable drug supply agreement with them."
This stupid son really doesn't know what's proper.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Our family can use the full version all because of your younger brother. You should be secretly glad! Where else could you find such a great little brother?"
Uchiha Gen nodded in approval. "I'm afraid this matter still has to be left to Mother and Father to negotiate with the medicinal material merchants."
Uh... It seems he really is reluctant to part with it.
There's no helping it. Gen offers too much.
The Nara Clan has been raising deer and some herbal medicines for generations.
Just then, Uchiha Meixin looked at Gen and asked, "Since we're going to open a pharmacy, relying solely on purchasing from pharmacies isn't appropriate. The quantity from those pharmacies isn't enough either. We need to find several suppliers who can provide a large amount of drugs stably in the long term. What do you think, little Gen?"
"Sure!"
"Oh?"
Uchiha Qianyi asked with a slight surprise, "Why specifically emphasize the Nara Clan? You must have some other motives, right?"
Uchiha Gen immediately spread his hands with a smile and said, "Isn't this to win more allies for the Uchiha?"
"Right!"
"However, I suggest you handle this matter yourself. At most, I'll go with you and just stand by you for support!"
"If I go, I'm afraid this matter won't succeed."
Before Uchiha Gen could say a word, Uchiha Hiroshi beside him was confused. "Why? Didn't Gen say that the Nara Clan are smart people?"
Uchiha Qianyi shot a glare at Uchiha Hiroshi. "Stupid! Precisely because the Nara Clan is too shrewd, when it comes to some matters of stance, they always like to play it safe."
"The three clans have always been staunch supporters of the Hokage faction. They'll support whoever becomes the Hokage."
"Don't they know that our Uchiha are being eyed with hostility and oppressed by the top brass of Konoha?"
"How could they rashly get involved with us at this time?"
"Only Gen, being Tsunade's disciple and also regarded as the grandson of the Third Hokage, has a chance of making this work. Do you understand?"
Who on earth does this kid take after?
He didn't inherit any of his smarts at all!
He feels like he couldn't have fathered such a stupid son.
Uchiha Hiroshi: "..."
"Alright!"
After hearing this, Hiroshi Naito immediately scratched his cheek and said helplessly, "People who play mind games have ulterior motives. These things are too complicated. I'd better not get involved. I'll leave first. Xingzi is waiting for me!"
After saying that, Uchiha Hiroshi just slipped away.
"This annoying brat!"
Uchiha Qianyi glared angrily at the fleeing Uchiha Hiroshi, filled with a deep sense of disappointment.
"Fine! Then I'll go with you, Dad. Let's set the time for tomorrow morning."
Uchiha Gen nodded understandingly.
"Okay."
Early the next morning,
At the residence of Shikayama Nara,
When Shikayama Nara, the father of Shikaku Nara, learned that Uchiha Gen had come to pay a visit and that he was actually a disciple of Lady Tsunade, he quickly ushered Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Qianyi in.
After some subtle inquiries,
Shikayama Nara couldn't help but ask with a smile, "I've long heard that Lady Tsunade has accepted a genius disciple who mastered all of Lady Tsunade's Mystical Palm Technique in just a few months. I'm finally getting to meet him today!"
"I'm curious what brought you here today, young man?"
Of course, he knew Uchiha Gen by name.
There's no doubt that he's a genius prodigy.
Shikayama Nara was quite astonished that he had become Lady Tsunade's disciple.
After all, the whole world knows that the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are mortal enemies.
All he could say was that times had changed, and he couldn't figure out Lady Tsunade's thoughts.
The key now was the reason for Uchiha Gen's sudden visit.
"Ah! I hope it won't be any trouble!"
Shikayama Nara thought with a sigh.
He really hates getting involved in trouble.
Avoiding trouble is in the family blood.
Hearing this, Uchiha Gen immediately stated his purpose, "Senior Shikayama, I came here this time because I heard that your Nara clan has long been selling a large quantity of medicinal herbs. Recently, I've learned some things from Teacher Tsunade and brewed some secret medicines with remarkable effects. I'm planning to open a store to sell them."
"Furthermore, I've already signed a substantial supply order within the clan."
"Therefore, I require a large supply of medicinal herbs."
"That's why I came to pay you a visit after making some inquiries!"
"This time, we not only want to reach a supply agreement with the Nara clan but also intend to seek more medicinal herb suppliers for cooperation. The price is negotiable. I wonder if senior would be willing to do me this favor?"
It would be great if he was willing. If not, Gen didn't have any other alternatives.
But in the future, if there were any good opportunities, he definitely wouldn't consider the Nara clan.
It's good to know how to safeguard oneself.
But if one is overly extreme in all matters, the relationship is bound to end prematurely.
It all hinges on Shikayama Nara's decision.
"Oh?" he uttered, sounding intrigued.
Shikayama Nara was slightly taken aback to hear that it was actually about the long-term purchase of medicinal herbs.
If it was just this sort of thing, he wouldn't decline.
Thinking it over, just some commercial supply cooperation wouldn't make the Third Hokage and the others hold grudges, nor would he offend the Uchiha clan by flatly rejecting.
With this in mind, Shikayama Nara immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, no problem! Our Nara clan conducts medicinal herb business with an open attitude. Naturally, we won't turn down this kind of pure commercial cooperation."
"I approve of this matter!"
"What kinds of medicinal herbs do you need? Do you have a list? And how much do you need each month?"
Making money isn't something to be embarrassed about.
However, he was a bit curious about what kind of secret medicine Uchiha Gen had actually brewed.
Not only did he dare to make a big fuss about opening a store to sell it, but he also reached a supply agreement within the Uchiha clan.
This person is only 3 years old. Is he really that extraordinary?
"Or did he gain some advantages from Lady Tsunade, learn something, and just take it out to sell?"
"No way!"
It shouldn't be. Although this person is young, the way he talks and behaves is nothing like a child. He's more like an old sly fox. Obviously, he's not that stupid.
Thinking of this, Shikayama Nara felt that he couldn't quite see through the kid in front of him.
"This person is not simple!"
Shikayama Nara sighed in his heart.
Choosing not to offend such a monstrous talent whose background is unclear in the future is also a good thing.
In case this person becomes really formidable in the future and brings disaster to the Nara Clan.

"That's true!"
Uchiha Qianyi and Uchiha Hiroshi's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this. "You're really smart, kid. Let's do it like that!"
"Forming an alliance directly might be unrealistic. Let's first reach a cooperation in terms of business interests. Once our interests are deeply intertwined, we can gradually become true allies!"
"Don't you forget the situation of our Uchiha Clan, Dad?"
Uchiha Meixin, who was standing beside, also nodded and said, "Your dad is right! Having a quarter of the full effect is already enough! Others will be scrambling to buy it!"
"It would be a pity not to take advantage of this great opportunity!"
"The status and influence of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans in Konoha are quite high. And the Nara Clan is the representative of wisdom among these three clans. It's only beneficial for us to win them over."
Anyway, the more friends and the fewer enemies, the better.
Uchiha Hiroshi nodded with a speechless expression.
Could he just disown this annoying little brother?
