"!@#￥%...&...%￥"
In the laboratory, enduring the gibberish of Earth General, Hakushi helped him fix his head back on.
He was probably trying to express his joy at seeing his cute sister for the first time.
After fixing his head, he started dancing with joy.
What a heartwarming scene.
Hakushi felt gratified inside; this was what family felt like.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Lady seemed unsure of how to face her extraordinarily peculiar-looking brother. Her body turned into a solid black shadow, spread out flat like an arrow, and darted into Hakushi's shadow, disappearing.
"￥*&...%￥%...&"
Seeing the Shadow Lady disappear, Earth General started babbling again. Even Hakushi, the creator, had no idea what this guy was trying to say.
"Okay, she's your sister. She just got born today and doesn't quite understand things yet. You are already two years old and an adult, so forgive her this time."
Hakushi patted Earth General's head, advising him to be a bit more magnanimous.
"￥&*%￥#￥%..."
Earth General placed a document on the ground, said this, and immediately tunneled into the earth, disappearing.
"Really, none of them give me peace of mind."
Hakushi just grumbled a bit, deciding to learn a lesson for next time.
He picked up the document Earth General had left behind and dusted off the hardly existing dust on it.
This was recent information about the Pharmaceutical Company of the Land of Demons.
Some time had passed, and the commercial activities of the Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Technology Company had also begun to step into a stable rhythm.
The medicines produced and sold by the Shion Flower Pharmaceutical Company were all new ones that were not circulating in today's market, mainly covering cold medicine, fever reducers, stomach medicine, and other drugs beneficial for the recovery of human health. Tests showed their efficacy was also better than those of various other medicines on the market.
Currently, the main exports were to neighboring small countries such as the Land of Snow, Land of Shadow, and Land of Bear. Among the Five Great Nations, the primary focuses were the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.
Due to the great distance between the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire, there would not be a large-scale influx into the Land of Fire's pharmaceutical market in the near future.
Of course, if merchants from the Land of Fire were willing to act as agents, the business would certainly not turn them away.
Hakushi believed that the person in charge over there, Kado, would make a reasonable decision. Otherwise, he could only replace him with a more capable subordinate to manage the company duties.
During the initial accumulation period of the organization, sufficient funds were the most crucial aspect.
Economics determine politics, and politics influence military affairs.
And money is the primary expression of the economy.
Later, the economy can determine the superstructure and feed back into an organization, feed back into a country.
If one wants to develop prosperity, the economy is the most foundational basis.
Currently, the organization had more than enough manpower, whether in research, work, or armed personnel responsible for escort duties, all had completed the initial formation stage.
Once the pharmaceutical company had gathered a large sum of rolling capital and established enough reputation, they could then proceed to recruit staff from various countries to further expand their manpower.
The organization continued to lurk in the shadows, while the company attracted attention on the surface.
Otherwise, if everything continued in the shadows, the organization's scale would struggle to achieve any qualitative transformation.
Hence, the neutral country status of the Land of Demons could provide significant convenience.
This was also the win-win cooperation plan Hakushi and the Mire Witch were preparing to implement.
As for that witch, Hakushi had admired her for a long time.

After dinner, it was already two hours after Hakushi finished his work at the Ninja School.
He was about to head towards the underground laboratory when two familiar Chakra signals suddenly appeared within his sensory range.
He started walking towards the front yard and, as expected, saw a boy and a girl at the entrance—both not very old, still at the age of attending the Ninja School.
The boy had his hands behind his head, wearing a pair of goggles to protect his eyes, pouting at the side, showing a disdainful look.
"Senior Hakushi, sorry for disturbing you so late at night."
The girl, on the other hand, politely bowed and greeted Hakushi.
"It's nothing, but why has Nohara come looking for me so late?"
This girl was Nohara Rin, a very diligent and hard-working student in the medical ninja experimental class at school.
When Hakushi initially started as an assistant in the experimental class, she exhibited the demeanor of a model student, diligent and eager to learn.
Her talent in the medical field was exceptional, and she could be fostered as an elite medical ninja in the future.
Among all the students in the experimental class, Hakushi had the deepest impression of her.
"Some of the content taught by Teacher Tsunade this afternoon was a bit difficult to understand. I went to the library to look up information, but I still couldn't resolve it. Can I ask Senior Hakushi for help with this?"
The girl showed a dedicated and eager-to-learn demeanor, looking truly passionate about medical ninjutsu and aspiring to become an outstanding medical ninja in the future.
Hakushi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I see. Then come in, Nohara. I'm not busy with anything important right now."
"I'm really grateful, Senior Hakushi."
Rin's face beamed with a pure, innocent smile.
"It's nothing. It's your diligence that moved me. You know, being a medical ninja can be a challenging duty for a girl, often facing unpredictable dangers. By the way, didn't you go to ask Teacher Tsunade?"
