87. Profits my friend, Profits
John left in the afternoon of the following day to speak with Fugaku. Though he didn't fear anyone but living in this world made him cautious and he didn't want to piss anyone off. He didn't want to go back to losing this wonderful life he was living.
This world was beautiful and luxurious. If he lost it, he would never again discover a place like that. The Uchiha family lived somewhat apart from the rest of Konoha.
John was taken aback by how well-organized the clan structures appeared as he approached them for the first time. Even after Konoha deserted the Uchiha clan, their spirits and beauty were unaffected.
John had experienced politics firsthand. His father, relatives, and the queen he believed to be the one. He believed that politics corrupted people, which was another reason he objected to Aoto's involvement in politics.
He wanted to stop his new companion, but he was aware of their inherent helplessness.
After asking for directions to the clan head's residence, he soon came across people who were wearing the Uchiha crest on their backs. Since John was well-known, especially among the girls, and many people had seen him in KFC, they were already familiar with him.
The guys envied him a little because of his appearance, but they also understood that he could never be a rival to them because he was simply an ordinary person. He eventually arrived at Fugaku's house after making several rounds and knocked.
Itachi had opened the door while holding Sasuke in his arms.
"Hello.."
"Hello.. Umm .. Is Fugaku-san here?" Jon enquired. Itachi nodded and led him inside because he has seen him several times in the KFC. He didn't say much before making a call to his father. His father returned quickly.
"You're Itachi, aren't you? Enter your room. Fugaku didn't anticipate John seeing him at his house, but he felt it had to be significant given that he worked for Aoto.
"Welcome to the Uchiha clan.. Visitors are extremely uncommon in this place." Fugaku spoke while seated across from him.
"It's a nice place to live in. Much better than my father had." John appreciated the clan structures, stating that he particularly liked them.
"Had? Where is he now?"
"Killed for loyalty." When John stated it, his eyes moved just a little. Though he wasn't present when it occurred, he heard about it from Sansa, and those words continue to afflict him even now. Fugaku tensed up as he hadn't anticipated that this regular guy had a backstory.
"I apologize. I didn't know you had it hard out there." Fugaku expressed regret.
"It's okay. Everything is well now, and it was a long time ago." John uttered. Fugaku didn't want to ask about his past since he didn't want to speak about it.
"So.. Umm.. Do you have a purpose for being here?" Fugaku enquired. He didn't see Aoto for a while because he had a lot going on. He was trying to find out where did Danzo get an eye and was cross checking the records of the deceased and also trying to read the shrine that had been passed down through the generations.
Since Aoto had previously made a hint, he had a feeling that this shrine was significant in some way. He had a gut feeling that Aoto knew something about the tablet. He had almost forgotten to go to his store and buy the new palicos because of this.
"Yes.. I am here for this?" John stated as he set some pharmaceutical bottles in front of him, one of which had the word Viagra printed on it.
"What's this?" Fugaku was bewildered. Seeing the bottle he could easily tell that it was some kind of medicine and it was probably from Aoto since he was in medicine and doctor business. John then exhaled deeply and stated.
"Well.. You see....." John continued by describing what those things did and how they affected. When Fugaku heard this, he was astounded. He was hearing things that he couldn't believe.
"Wait, you mean to say I have low libido?" When John described the drug to him, Fugaku became furious because he perceived it as an affront to him. John spoke with composure.
"Of course no. Aoto wants your help to sell this product." John immediately mentioned his boss without pausing to ponder.
"What?"
"He can't sell this goods because he's just starting out, and he can't trust other people. You and your family are the only people he could rely on. He therefore requests your assistance in selling these." John answered with calm.
"You want to sell these to the Uchiha family?" Fugaku was shocked. He didn't anticipate receiving a business offer from Aoto instead of an insult.
"Yes. He already had a deal with the Supervisor of Konoha Hospital and you already know how that turned out. He no longer has faith in him. The Uchiha family is the only option left as the Hokage cannot be summoned for this flimsy thing. He's hoping you can assist him. He will only take a portion of the sale which will be fixed amount and you can just take the profits." As he pulled out the contract, John said.
Fugaku ignored the contract and instead stared in awe at the medicinal bottle. He had no idea that this 'evil' Aoto could even think of such a drug. He had seen the wonders of that potion before and that rocked his world already but this was something else.
One that might boost a man's libido and promote reproduction. This was legendary material. The village was always short of man power so every village would love to see their population thriving and of course manpower meant more soldiers for the village.
Resources weren't so scarce because Konoha was prosperous and fertile thanks to the nation. And this medicine would just bloom in their village if they sold it. This would be quite advantageous for Uchiha. And if it were sold beyond the country, the revenue would be in the millions.
