"Got it! Dad, just leave them here and go take care of your work!"
Sora glanced up at his father, said a sentence, then lowered his head and continued reading the medical book in his hands.
His father was good in every way—
Except that he loved to show off too much and talked too much.
Uchiha Masayuki: "…"
Was he… being disliked?
That left him a bit depressed.
His youngest son was excellent in every way, but his personality was far too mature—no longer as cute as when he had just been born.
Still, since Sora had spoken, he could only sulk and turn to glare at his eldest son, Uchiha Hao, who was still standing there blankly.
"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you see Sora needs quiet? Get out!"
With that, he prepared to leave.
Uchiha Hao: "…"
So… love really does disappear, huh?
"Oh, right!"
At that moment, Sora suddenly raised his head again and said to his father and brother:
"Dad, remember to switch both mine and my brother's medicinal bath to the one I created."
"Until I come up with something better, this will do for now."
"If possible, send some to Sister Mikoto as well."
Over the past year, Uchiha Mikoto had often come to visit him and showed him a lot of affection. Naturally, Sora wouldn't leave her out.
"Got it! Leave it to me!"
Uchiha Masayuki nodded decisively and left at once.
"Big brother is already fifteen… starting foundation-building now is actually a bit late. Looks like I'll need to create another medicinal bath formula suited to his stage."
"And the same goes for Mom and Dad."
After the two left, Uchiha Sora pondered inwardly.
Since he planned to cultivate his family into his own support pillars, he naturally had to put in more effort.
Chakra reserves and physical strength largely determined a ninja's upper limit.
Medicinal baths clearly had a significant effect on both.
—
Early the next morning—
Uchiha Mikoto arrived cheerfully at Sora's house.
"Sora! Long time no see! Did you miss your big sister?"
The moment she entered, she scooped him up into her arms, planted a kiss on his cheek, and said with a bright smile.
"…I did."
Uchiha Sora replied somewhat helplessly.
The teenage Uchiha Mikoto was just a bit too lively.
"Hehe!"
Mikoto wasn't bothered at all. Instead, she happily said:
"I've already received the medicinal bath package! I even used it once—it works really well! Thank you!"
"With this, I can become stronger even faster!"
Although she was already thirteen and the foundation-building effect wasn't as optimal, it was still quite effective.
"Oh?"
Uchiha Sora nodded with a smile.
"You've already used it? As long as it works, that's good."
"That medicinal bath is most effective for children under ten. For you, the effect is slightly reduced."
"Coincidentally, I'm currently preparing a new formula suited for your age group, based on my brother's situation. You can make do with this for now. Once it's ready, I'll have my dad send you a new one."
He already had some ideas.
With his current level of knowledge and Comprehension, creating new formulas was much easier now.
"Really?"
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's amazing! Thank you, Sora! You're the best! Now I can become stronger even faster!"
"No need to thank me."
Uchiha Sora shook his head, then asked curiously:
"But… are you in a hurry to become stronger, Sister Mikoto?"
In just a few sentences, she had emphasized it twice—there was no way he wouldn't notice.
Hearing this, Mikoto's good mood suddenly faded. Her expression became slightly complicated as she nodded.
"Mm… Only by becoming strong enough can I truly take control of my own destiny."
"Destiny, huh…"
Uchiha Sora frowned slightly.
It seemed there was something he didn't know about.
But he didn't press further.
Since she hadn't said it outright, it meant she wasn't willing to talk about it. He could always find out later from his parents.
Still…
What kind of hidden trouble could Mikoto have at this stage?
"Could it be… marriage?"
Uchiha Sora guessed inwardly.
That seemed the most likely.
After all, Uchiha Mikoto was the granddaughter of the First Elder.
It was entirely possible that at this point, Patriarch Uchiha Tianrong had already begun arranging things—trying to match Fugaku with Mikoto through marriage, in order to secure the First Elder's faction's support.
—
A few days later, Sora confirmed Mikoto's situation from his father.
Just as he had guessed—
Uchiha Tianrong was indeed trying to arrange a marriage between Fugaku and Mikoto.
However, neither the First Elder nor Mikoto had agreed yet.
The First Elder felt that Mikoto was still too young, and with Fugaku's succession still uncertain, he wanted to wait a few more years.
It was worth mentioning that during this time, the patriarch had also brought Fugaku to Sora's house once, letting the two meet.
In the following days, Fugaku occasionally came by as well, interacting with Sora.
Although Sora found it quite irritating, he couldn't exactly throw him out, which made it rather annoying.
…
Ten days later—
[Based on your medical knowledge and combined with the physical conditions of Uchiha Hao, Uchiha Mikoto, and others, after in-depth research and significant insight, you have created Body-Refining Medicinal Bath Formula · Youth Version, Body-Refining Medicinal Bath · Adult Version, and Nourishing Medicinal Bath Formula.]
"Done."
Sorting through the information in his mind, Sora smiled and recorded all three formulas onto scrolls.
There wasn't much to say about the two body-refining medicinal bath formulas—
One was suitable for those under eighteen, the other for adults between eighteen and fifty.
Both had excellent effects on strengthening muscles, bones, and physique.
As for the Nourishing Medicinal Bath Formula—
It was designed for those over fifty.
Its primary function was to nourish the body, eliminate hidden injuries, and restore vitality—perfect for elders to recover and extend their lifespan.
"Dad! Mom! Take these!"
That evening during dinner, Sora handed the three formulas to his parents.
"I've written down all the effects clearly."
"The youth version should be used by big brother and Sister Mikoto."
"You two can use the adult version—same usage, once every three days."
"As for the nourishing formula, first give a copy to the First Elder and Third Elder, then submit it to the clan."
"Hmm? Already done so quickly?"
Uchiha Masayuki and Misa were both stunned, then quickly took the formulas and examined them carefully.
After a while, Misa spoke:
"I've roughly checked them. There shouldn't be any problems."
"Sora is really amazing!"
She happily rubbed Sora's head in praise.
At the side, Uchiha Hao had been listening the whole time. His gaze was fixed on the three formulas, unwilling to move.
His little brother was just too incredible!
"With these new formulas, I'll be able to grow stronger much faster! This is great!"
Uchiha Hao thought excitedly.
At the same time, he silently vowed to himself that he would definitely protect his younger brother well in the future.
"Son!"
At this moment, Uchiha Masayuki looked at Sora with some confusion and asked:
"Why did you only say to submit the nourishing medicinal bath formula to the clan, but not the other two?"
