"It's you, Uchiha brat, what do you want?"
As Uchiha Yoichi entered, Tsunade hurriedly took the documents off the table, but Uchiha Yoichi's sharp eyes caught the water stains on them, and Tsunade's face was now half red.
Uchiha Yoichi spoke, "I wanted to discuss something with you, Lady Tsunade. I heard from Jonin Ikemoto that you were treating a patient, so I came up to interrupt."
"There are no patients now, what do you want?"
"No patients? Lady Tsunade, you're not treating anyone?"
"Because the patient doesn't require me to do anything, brat, why are you asking so many questions? Just say what you want!"
Tsunade said somewhat impatiently. She then glanced out the window, realizing it was afternoon, and felt tempted to leave Konoha Hospital to gamble.
But remembering she was almost out of money, she sighed and gave up on the idea.
"I want to discuss a business deal with you, Lady Tsunade. You remember I discussed health supplements with Jonin Ikemoto, right? Now he's developed them, but his reputation is quite small, so I want to collaborate with you, borrowing your name for promotion..."
Uchiha Yoichi began to speak, having already guessed some things while asking Tsunade. Tsunade probably couldn't handle the patient from the Land of Hot Water; it might involve surgery, and Tsunade in her current state couldn't stand the sight of blood.
"Borrowing the fame of me, one of the Sannin? I'm not interested, brat. You have quite the calculations, knowing my medical ninjutsu..."
"Three million!"
"...What? You, what do you mean by that..."
Tsunade almost choked, then asked with a wary expression.
"Three million a year, I'll just borrow your name, Lady Tsunade, to promote these two health supplements."
Uchiha Yoichi took out the information on the first two health supplements and handed it over for Tsunade to look at. As for the health pill, he wouldn't show it to her, planning to sneakily use her name. After all, Tsunade likely wouldn't notice.
"So it's this type of medicine, it does have a bit of health benefits for ordinary people, but it's completely useless for ninja. So, it seems you want to earn money from regular folks...."
Tsunade didn't seem too interested after looking it over. She used to earn money from aristocrats, and each treatment could cost millions, much easier than an S-Class task.
Though three million doesn't compare to her previous earning efficiency, her hemophobia has rendered most operations undoable, dropping her income to a historical low.
The former Tsunade certainly wouldn't have considered the three million, but now.....
"Three million a year? Just borrowing my name?"
"That's right, just promoting Jonin Ikemoto's research products!"
Uchiha Yoichi nodded confidently, after all, he had informed Tsunade earlier, Ikemoto developed three types of medicine, but didn't present one of them.
"In that case... it's not a bad idea to consider."
Tsunade felt somewhat tempted, as she was currently a bit short on money. Her daily eating and drinking were no problem, but she didn't have any big cash.
The Ninja World's most lucrative work is being a ninja, and Tsunade is one of the top-tier ninjas, yet she can't even fork out tens of thousands; it bothers her.
"Alright, it's settled. I agree to let you borrow my name for the medicine promotion."
After brief consideration, Tsunade agreed. As for whether she considered others' opinions about the Uchiha, she was alone in the Senju Clan Land, being the Senju Clan Leader, she didn't need to worry about others' views.
"Then let's sign a contract, if we can't give you money in time, you can use the contract to claim it."
Even if you find something amiss later, with the contract, you can't back out!
Uchiha Yoichi quickly wrote two copies of the contract and handed them for Tsunade to review.
After Tsunade read them and found no problem, she signed her name and, at Uchiha Yoichi's request, pressed her handprint.
Upon signing the contract, Tsunade waved her hand in front of Uchiha Yoichi and said, "Okay, brat, give me the money now."
"Who would carry a few million around? I'll have Minami bring it over tomorrow."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi contentedly stowed the contract away; some time later, he would come to photograph Tsunade and publish the ad in the newspapers and on TV.
With Tsunade's medical achievements, it would be a golden brand.

"Kakashi? You're here, huh? I took care of some things today, so I won't be training this afternoon. If you'd like a spar, we can do it tomorrow morning. But tonight, stay for dinner."
Upon returning home, Uchiha Yoichi saw Kakashi waiting at the door, seemingly there for a long time. As the sole member of Yoichi's team, inviting him to dinner was fitting.
While returning, he visited Elder Kenji. The ready-made medicine production factory had already been purchased by Kenji, and the staff were retained. Currently, a non-ninja relative of Elder Kenji was managing it.
Now they only needed to procure medicinal materials to start mass production, though Uchiha Yoichi would still need to go out once.
"Not really about sparring, but dinner sounds good. My father is out on a task...."
Upon hearing about dinner, Kakashi's eyes lit up, evidently reminiscing about the delicious mutton stew he ate previously, but what he had was already gone.
Kakashi originally wanted to pay to buy more, but the Magic Goats hadn't been bred extensively yet. Selling externally would at least need to wait two years.
"We're out of mutton, but there's plenty of other ingredients, though they're not cooked by me."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi welcomed Kakashi inside. They now resided in a new house, slightly out of the way, but spacious with a yard, enough for the transformed Gates to rest in.
Once inside, Uchiha Yoichi poured Kakashi a cup of tea, then asked, "Since you're not here for a spar, what's the reason for your visit?"
Kakashi calmly replied, "I've been training in the village for a while. Captain, is it time for me to take on some tasks?"
"Enjoying some calm days is rare. In a few years, tasks might be so numerous they'll make you sick; though you were involved in my previous ordeal. If you don't value reputation, then join me for a trip out of the village tomorrow."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head, continuing, "The Uchiha Race's tasks are for clan gain, you could join me, but it's not beneficial for you. If you're fine with it, come bounty hunting with me; I'm looking for activity...."
Hearing this, Kakashi asked in surprise, "Bounty Hunter... is it the Underground Gold Exchange? Captain, you've been there?"
"Wanted something and only the Underground Gold Exchange sells it, otherwise you'd have to wait a long time...."
Uchiha Yoichi explained briefly, then continued, "I usually take bounties involving small countries, there are plenty from the Five Great Ninja Villages too, but the risk is too big."
