Chapter 19: The Miraculous Effect of the Secret Medicine

Born into the prestigious Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Itachi always maintained an air of calmness, unaffected by the ups and downs around him.

Despite Koshino's earlier display of talent, taking on four opponents at once and astonishing everyone with a new technique developed through his app, Itachi's gaze remained serene when looking at Koshino. This only made Koshino's expression grow more serious.

"As expected of Itachi!"

"In the original story, even the Third Hokage praised him for having the insight of a 'Hokage' at such a young age. Truly remarkable!"

"It seems that in the upcoming spar with Itachi, I'll have to bring out some real skills!"

While cautious in his heart, Koshino couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of facing the famous Itachi from the original story.

To be honest, new generation elites like Hyuga Akira, Uchiha Younen, and Uchiha Kin were indeed notable figures in Konoha Village. However, compared to the Itachi from the original story, they were hardly worth mentioning.

Moreover, after Koshino agreed to spar with Uchiha Itachi, even Fugaku Uchiha had tacitly approved of the challenge.

As the head of the Uchiha Clan, Koshino didn't think Fugaku Uchiha was a fool. Ever since the Uchiha Clan planned to deal with Hyuga Akira, Koshino had been secretly observing Fugaku Uchiha.

So, as Koshino prepared to restore his chakra, he noticed Fugaku Uchiha whispering something with a sidelong glance. This made Koshino's heart tense as he walked over to Shikaku, handing over the scroll he had been holding.

"Here, Uncle Shikaku, this is for you!"

"Koshino, that's something you earned. Not even the elders of the clan have the right to take it away, so you should keep it."

Ruffling Koshino's hair, Shikaku felt genuinely proud of him.

However, when Shikaku's gaze shifted to Uchiha Itachi, recalling the information about him, even Shikaku couldn't help but frown, clearly not optimistic about Koshino's chances of winning.

"That kid must be Uchiha Itachi, right? Fugaku's son! Koshino, you need to be careful!"

"I've heard Itachi is a rare genius of the Uchiha Clan. Koshino, go restore your chakra quickly!"

At this point, not only Shikaku but also other elders like Choza and Inoichi were somewhat doubtful of Koshino's chances, even though his previous performance was outstanding. Under the shadow of Itachi's reputation, Koshino's earlier achievements seemed to pale in comparison.

Unfortunately, Shikaku and the others had no idea what Koshino was thinking.

The more they praised Itachi's prowess, the more determined Koshino became.

However, as the host of the gathering, Hizashi didn't give Koshino a chance to argue. He quickly stepped forward, offering Shikaku an apologetic smile, "Shikaku, I'm sorry you had to see this. I didn't expect Fugaku to cause trouble. We owe it to Koshino for saving the Hyuga Clan's face."

Then, turning to Koshino, Hizashi smiled, "Koshino, I'll find you a quiet room to restore your chakra. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Uchiha Clan won't be able to trouble you."

"Thank you, Uncle Hizashi!"

Even though he had helped save the Hyuga Clan's reputation, Hizashi only showed a bit of warmth, without any intention of expressing gratitude.

Moreover, even if there were any thanks, it would be a matter between Hizashi and Shikaku, the two elders.

So, led by the servant to the backyard and entering a quiet room, Koshino took a deep breath to calm his nerves and prepared to restore his chakra.

Just before he began, Koshino suddenly recalled a whispered reminder from Shikaku as he left.

"Koshino, don't rush! Remember to take the secret medicine I gave you this morning. It'll increase your chances of winning."

"Secret medicine, huh?"

Taking out the Nara Clan's secret medicine from his pocket, Koshino looked at the dark, pungent-smelling pill with a slight grimace. Ultimately, he followed Shikaku's instructions, pinched his nose, and swallowed it.

After all, even though Koshino knew the Nara Clan's secret medicine was precious, coveted even by someone as prominent as Fugaku Uchiha.

But it was just one secret medicine. Koshino didn't hold much hope when taking it, thinking how much could one pill really improve his odds? However, after swallowing the medicine and feeling a warm sensation spreading inside him, Koshino's eyes lit up with surprise. He quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate his chakra.

Clearly, the Nara Clan's secret medicine was taking effect, and Koshino, using it for the first time, already felt something mysterious.

Yet, even Koshino hadn't anticipated that the effects of the Nara Clan's secret medicine would be far more than just that! Because as Koshino was cultivating after taking the medicine, the APP's voice suddenly echoed in his mind!

Ding! "Player, you have used a special item: Nara Secret Medicine, and gained a special BUFF. Please make a choice."

"A: Continuous chakra restoration."

"B: Reduced chakra consumption."

"C: Accelerated cultivation."

What?

The Nara Clan's secret medicine he took actually received the APP's approval? And it's a special item with a BUFF bonus?

Listening to the voice echoing in his mind, Koshino was so shocked that he almost lost control of his chakra cultivation, nearly causing a major mishap.

Fortunately, Koshino was already very skilled in chakra cultivation. He quickly regained control of his slightly chaotic chakra and thought to himself, "The A and B BUFFs are temporarily useless, as they seem to be for combat. But option C perfectly fits my current needs, doesn't it?"

"Insufficient chakra is essentially limiting my growth."

"Then it's decided! APP, I choose C, accelerated cultivation!"

Buzz! With a thought connecting to the APP, Koshino gave the command, and the APP immediately applied the accelerated cultivation BUFF for him.

Under the influence of the accelerated cultivation BUFF, Koshino felt both delighted and amazed. As expected, anything from the APP is top-notch!

Just from the sensation alone, he could feel his chakra rapidly recovering. The chakra, like a small stream, after just one session of cultivation, flowed through every meridian in his body like a rushing sea.

He didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but when Koshino finally stood up again, his dark pupils sparkled with a bright gleam.

Especially when he focused on sensing the amount of chakra within him, Koshino listened to the notification of the accelerated cultivation BUFF fading and was secretly astonished by the breakthrough it had brought him!
