Chapter 9: Verifying Medicines
_
“This is medical equipment, and there are also medicines?”
Bandages, wound plasters, and other items are relatively easy to identify. Still, capsules and pills are more difficult to distinguish, as well as some sprays.
However, there are instructions on the package, so the elite ninjas in the camp picked them up and prepared to read them carefully. They have the right to make suggestions on the battlefield.
Tsunade also explained to those who did not get the medicine: “These medicines are all emergency medicines that can be used on the battlefield, with various functions such as stopping bleeding, reducing inflammation, and reducing fever. With these medicines, we can greatly reduce the shortage of medical ninjas. We can reduce the casualty rate several times with simple emergency suture techniques!”
A senior ninja from the Nara clan asked: “Are these medicines really as effective as stated in the instructions?”
“It’s not certain yet. These are all samples that we can try out. If the effects are confirmed, I suggest purchasing them in large quantities. Otherwise, with the current number of medical ninjas in the camp…”
Tsunade didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone in the camp knew what she would say. The medical ninjas in the camp were almost working non-stop during this period. Once a patient fully recovered, they would start treating another one. The chakra was exhausted every day, but many casualties still died due to a lack of timely treatment.
Among them were also ninjas from the village. If these medicines were as effective as stated, then the delayed treatment for wounded soldiers would greatly decrease in the future.
In a deep voice, Danzo Shimura asked, “What is this person’s origin?”
“I don’t know. Cain said he came from the United States on the other side of the sea, but who knows what’s happening on the other side. Moreover, any other hidden village couldn’t have developed this kind of medicine. Otherwise, Konoha wouldn’t be completely clueless.”
After hearing this, Tsunade shook her head and continued, “But he seems to have the ability to escape, and he doesn’t carry many drugs. He’s not a ninja either, but rather looks like someone who’s here for a trade.”
“It’s strange for him to appear near the battlefield without any reason. How could an ordinary merchant make such an unwise move? He might be a skilled ninja from Yamanaka clan.”
Danzo hadn’t finished his sentence yet when Orochimaru interrupted him and smiled, “Danzo, it’s better not to do that. This person is just probing. There are probably not many secrets about him. Besides, he appeared in the Land of Rain and only encountered us because of the three children. If you act against him and don’t get any secrets, then the possibility of benefiting the Rain Village is high.”
After listening to Orochimaru’s words, the other senior ninjas couldn’t help but ponder. They found that what Orochimaru said was indeed reasonable.
The current focus should be on verifying the effectiveness of the medicines. If they are really effective, Konoha should purchase them in large quantities, which can save the lives of many ninjas.
It is not important to worry about the person’s background and origin, although it is indeed something to pay attention to. However, compared with these medicines, it is not that important.
Suppose the Rain Village also gets the same medicines and logistical support. In that case, this war may continue, and Konoha may turn from a winner to a loser.
Danzo also thought of the Rain ninjas who had just surrendered. If they acted against this person, it would make his backers look for the Rain ninjas, changing the war’s course.
“Tsunade, you go first to verify the effectiveness of these medicines. If they are effective, then…”
“Then send the situation and list to Hokage-sama and the other two elders. After all, if we want to purchase these medicines in large quantities, we still need their permission. Moreover, medicines, food supplies, and other things are on the list.”
Tsunade preemptively said her answer was reasonable and appropriate, making Danzo a little angry. However, he had no reason to refute it because this was originally the responsibility of the logistics department.
“That’s it, the meeting is over.”
After Shimura Danzo finished speaking, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and other ninjas left the camp. Once outside, Tsunade felt refreshed and happy to see the frustration on Danzo’s face.
“What are your plans next, Orochimaru?”
“I will most likely be sent to deal with the Sand Ninja,” Orochimaru replied after thinking for a moment.
Thinking of her brother, Tsunade asked, “I might have to stay at the camp longer. Orochimaru, when you come back, can you be Nawakis’s mentor? He has always wanted to be your disciple.”
“If he can pass my assessment, even if he is not selected, at least in terms of judgment, he has already passed half the qualification.”
Orochimaru’s response basically meant that he agreed to the request.
Later, Tsunade returned to her own tent and told Cain, “It’s all good now. If the effects are correct, Konoha will make a large-scale purchase. You don’t mind waiting for a while, do you?”
“Of course, inspection is also a necessary part of the transaction.”
Cain shrugged, saying that things had progressed very smoothly to this point. He must establish his influence in the Naruto world, acquire industries, obtain a visible identity, and develop his armed forces. He also needs to search for some precious metal resources since buying large quantities of drugs requires money, and the money earned from the stock market is insufficient to support Cain’s commodity trading between two worlds..
Cain may need to establish covert companies in other countries. Once he returns, he plans to hire a professional private lawyer to assist him in resolving any issues arising from selling the gold. Without legal guidance, the gold sale could prove to be a complicated matter.
He could also commission Tsunade to develop an effective medicine that cannot be cured in his world. With research on medical ninjutsu and human anatomy, drugs can be developed.
In this way, Cain could make a fortune. With high-end medical ninjutsu in the Naruto world, he can establish a pharmaceutical giant in the Marvel world.
Decades later, the biological technology in the Naruto world can even make clones. If Cain intends to promote it, his idea can be realized ahead of time.

Medical camp.
The camp is full of wounded soldiers. Even though Konoha won against the Rain Ninja, they also suffered heavy casualties. Most importantly, there are only eight medical ninjas among the more than two hundred wounded soldiers.
Konoha, a village that has only been established for a little over thirty years, established its hospital during the reign of the Second Hokage. However, in the past, Konoha’s resources were primarily allocated to ANBU, the ninja school, and other initiatives, leaving little support for the cultivation and development of Konoha Hospital. Despite dispatching two teams of medical ninjas to the Grass Country battlefield in addition to those who remained in Konoha, the village had no personnel to spare for the Rain Country battlefield, where casualties continued to mount.
That’s why Tsunade valued Cain’s medicine so much.
Cain is also in the medical camp now. After helping three wounded soldiers sew their wounds and applying for medicine, he frowned slightly before walking out of the medical camp with clean hands. He took a deep breath and then said expressionlessly to Tsunade, who walked up to him, “The drug efficacy verification is almost done. Tsunade-sama, I reiterate that I am a businessman, not a doctor.”
