Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 105 After all, I'm not some kind of devil.

"Charge in, kill everyone, and take all the money!"

"kill!"

A dozen or so wandering ninjas, armed with all sorts of weapons, were about to rush into the courtyard when, with a creak, the gate was pushed open.

"careful!"

"Don't be reckless!"

"Enemies!"

These wandering ninjas were weak and belonged to the lowest level in the ninja world. They were often hunted down and besieged by ninjas from ninja villages.

The constant threat of being hunted has made them extremely fragile and constantly on edge.

Seeing the gate open, they assumed enemies had appeared and instinctively took several steps back, moving away from the gate and preparing to flee. Their eyes were all fixed on the gate, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

Squeak squeak squeak.

"This gate is quite old, and it's making such a loud noise."

Kiichiro pushed open the door and was surprised to see a group of wandering ninjas surrounding him.

"Why are you all so quiet? I thought you had left. Luckily you hadn't. Come, come, come in quickly, please don't be shy!"

Kiichiro stood to the side of the door, stepping aside and extending his hands towards the doorway, his face beaming with a warm smile, just like a hotel waiter.

The wandering ninjas breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was a small child who had emerged, a chubby, harmless little boy.

"It startled me; it turned out to be a chubby little boy."

"Boss, let's keep going!"

Compared to his subordinates' irritability, the leader was much calmer and reprimanded them.

“Idiot, look how calm he is. He’s not afraid of us at all. That kind of expression shouldn’t be on a child. He must have a backup plan. All of you shut up and watch me get him to talk.”

After the leader finished speaking, he gave Oni Ichiro a fake smile, like a big bad wolf.

"Hey kid, do you have a ninja in your family?"

As an honest child, Kiichiro chose to tell the truth.

"No, come in quickly! I'll provide you with free housing, food, and medicine. I guarantee you'll be very satisfied!"

Well, once you become my experimental volunteers, I will definitely provide you with food, drink, accommodation, and medicine, but you will not have any freedom!

Such good treatment? It's much better than them wandering around. It would be great to be hired by him!

A wandering ninja couldn't help but ask, "How much salary are you going to pay me?"

Upon hearing this question, many wandering ninjas pricked up their ears, eager to hear how Kiichiro would answer.

Why did they become wandering ninjas? It's because they were too weak to be hired. If they could be hired as laborers, who would choose to live a precarious life as a wanderer?

If Kiichiro paid them enough, they could have just kidnapped their leader.

After all, compared to money, their relationship with the leader was quite ordinary.

"Damn it! Shut up, all of you!"

The leader was furious when he saw his subordinates' shifty eyes and their unsettled state of mind. At that moment, Kiichiro's voice rang out.

"Sorry, there's no salary because you're all volunteers. Do you understand what volunteering is? It means you're voluntarily working for me without pay!"

Kiichiro was very responsible and provided a disclaimer in advance.

"Damn it, you're messing with me!"

The wandering ninjas were enraged, but Kiichiro laughed.

"I just realized? How long have you guys been lacking in intelligence?!"

"Damn it, kill him!"

At this moment, the wandering ninja disregarded any danger and charged out.

The leader, however, did not move. He stood still, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"These idiots are perfect for testing the waters."

He was able to rise to the position of leader among wandering ninjas only because of his caution and cunning; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

ten meters.

five meters.

one meter.

Under the leader's watchful eye, the wandering ninja rushed towards Oniichiro, his blade about to fall.

The leader's eyes darted around, trying to spot where the real enemy was.

puff.

A rogue ninja struck Oniichiro, but the surroundings remained silent, leaving the leader somewhat incredulous.

"Could it be that this guy is just recklessly bold? And has no backup plan at all?"

The leader, feeling deceived, roared, "Charge in and kill them all!"

The wandering ninjas swarmed through the gate and into the empty courtyard, unaware that Kiichiro's body lay on the ground, gradually turning into sand.

"Hey, why aren't you moving? Get out of my way, you bastard!"

After rushing into the courtyard, the wandering ninja in front suddenly stopped, and the people behind him began to curse in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, oh, oh, since you're so eager to become my drug testing volunteers, then I'll mercifully agree!"

With a bang, the courtyard gate suddenly slammed shut.

Before the wandering ninja, Kiichiro formed hand seals and then pressed them to the ground.

With a rumble, the ground suddenly collapsed, creating a huge crater. All the wandering ninjas fell into it and were injured by the falling rocks.

"You four come here and tie them all up."

"Yes!"

Under Kiichiro's command, Kifuji and his three companions bound the wandering ninjas.

Half a day later, five huge cells were built next to the underground laboratory, and they became five experimental control groups to test five kinds of mycotoxins.

"Damn it, you bastard, let us go right now, or we'll kill you!"

"Please, let me go. I'm willing to be your subordinate."

"Where am I? What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

The prison was filled with shouts, curses, and pleas for mercy, but Kiichiro completely ignored them. Instead, he made these wandering ninjas sick by creating external wounds and feeding them germs.

"Now we just need to wait a few days until the bacteria multiply rapidly and the volunteers get sick, then we can test the effectiveness of the mycin."

For the next three days, the wandering ninja only received a little water and did not eat any food at all.

Their weakened bodies greatly reduced the wandering ninjas' immunity, and they began to develop various complications of varying severity.

"Oh dear, you've all gotten sick. How could you be so careless? But don't worry, I have medicine here and will treat you. After all, I'm not some kind of devil."

In the past few days, Oniichiro has extracted a lot of mycotoxins. Now he is using a syringe to inject each of the wandering ninjas with different mycotoxins, and then continues to observe them.

These wandering ninjas had never used antibiotics before, so they had no drug resistance. Antibiotics worked quickly for them, but not necessarily with good results.

Of the five types of antibiotics, types one and five had the most severe reactions. Before they could show any therapeutic effect, the volunteers experienced severe adverse reactions, and several people even died.

Antibiotics No. 2 and No. 3 have mild side effects, but their therapeutic effects are also generally poor.

Only antibiotic number four had mild side effects and good therapeutic effects, so it was chosen by Kiichiro.

Of course, this is only the first phase of testing. Next, the antibiotic No. 4 needs to be manufactured into a drug and tested multiple times to confirm its efficacy.

After completing these tasks, we still need to find ways to carry out large-scale production.

In short, Kiichiro had only taken the first step on the road to great wealth.
