Chapter:37

Haruto's heart skipped a beat as Naruto squinted at the strange outfit he had just pulled out.

"Oh no, please don't do anything stupid right now…" Haruto thought nervously.

Then, to his relief, Naruto suddenly scratched his head and laughed it off.

"Eh, forget it!"

Naruto dropped his interest in the ridiculous suit and turned his attention to the other items.

"Oh! I recognize this! It's one of those potion things!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing at a glowing test tube.

Haruto chuckled and lifted the item.

"That's right!"

He twirled the vial between his fingers.

"This is an Energy Potion. Like the previous ones, it instantly restores 30% of your Chakra. Very useful, especially for Genin like you."

Sasuke, who had been quietly watching, nodded slightly and placed the potion into his ninja pouch.

The Uchiha clan's biggest weakness had always been their limited Chakra reserves.

(If the Uchiha had unlimited Chakra, they would have ruled the ninja world ages ago.)

Sasuke was beginning to see the real value of these golden eggs.

Haruto smirked and held up a small glass bottle filled with clear liquid.

"This next one, however… is truly special!"

His eyes shifted toward Kakashi as he spoke.

Kakashi instantly tensed.

Something about the way Haruto looked at him made his instincts scream danger.

Naruto tilted his head.

"Huh? Another potion? But why is this one so tiny?"

Haruto grinned mischievously.

"Haha! This little thing is something that every Uchiha would kill to get their hands on."

Sasuke's interest was piqued immediately.

"The Uchiha clan's greatest treasure?!"

His heartbeat quickened.

What could possibly be in such a small bottle that would make even the Uchiha desperate to have it?

Sasuke's eyes widened as a thought struck him.

"Could it be…?"

His hands curled into fists.

"Could this be something that helps evolve the Three-Tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

Just the possibility sent shivers down his spine.

His whole body trembled with anticipation.

If it was true…

Then this tiny bottle held the key to avenging his clan!

Haruto chuckled knowingly, completely seeing through Sasuke's thoughts.

"Calm down, Sasuke. It's not what you're thinking."

Sasuke froze.

"Not… what I'm thinking?"

Haruto grinned.

"I meant what I said—you're not qualified to use this right now."

Sasuke's expression darkened.

"Not… qualified?"

He gritted his teeth.

His Three-Tomoe Sharingan was already powerful, stronger than most Uchiha his age!

How dare this man say he wasn't qualified?!

But before Sasuke could question him further, Haruto suddenly turned his gaze toward Kakashi.

Haruto's smile widened as he spoke:

"But Kakashi-sensei… you could definitely use it, couldn't you?"

Kakashi instantly stiffened.

His visible eye narrowed.

(How does he know…?!)

Kakashi had never told anyone about the true condition of his Sharingan.

Not even Guy knew.

Yet somehow, this shopkeeper, this seemingly random man, knew everything.

Kakashi subconsciously adjusted his forehead protector, as if trying to hide something.

(This man knows far too much...)

Kiba tilted his head.

"Wait… Boss, didn't you say this was the Uchiha's greatest treasure?"

Naruto nodded rapidly.

"Yeah! So why would Kakashi-sensei need it?"

Sasuke snapped his gaze toward Kakashi, realization dawning in his eyes.

"...You mean Kakashi has something Uchiha-related?"

The tension in the room spiked instantly.

Sasuke's voice grew cold.

"Kakashi… what exactly are you hiding?"

Kakashi remained silent, but his fingers tightened slightly.

(Damn… this shopkeeper is stirring things up.)

Haruto laughed.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, I won't expose your secrets. But let's just say… if you don't use these eye drops soon, you might regret it later."

Haruto finally explained.

"Special Eye Drops—this is a special medicine that instantly cures all eye-related ailments."

He paused dramatically, letting the information sink in.

"That includes blindness."

The room went silent.

Naruto's jaw dropped.

Kiba blinked rapidly.

Sakura gasped.

Sasuke stared at Haruto, then at Kakashi.

"Blindness…?"

Naruto suddenly laughed out loud.

"PFFFT! That's perfect! We should buy a bottle for the Third Hokage!"

He snickered.

"Maybe it'll fix his old-man squint!"

Sakura immediately smacked him on the head.

"Baka! Don't be rude about the Hokage!"

But internally, she agreed.

(That old man does stare at me weirdly sometimes...)
