Chapter 54:
Once you're in that critical state during a battle, death is almost certain. But with this new recovery potion, combined with the blood increasing pills, the tides of battle could shift dramatically. As long as you're not fatally wounded, and can buy a few precious minutes, the combination of both can essentially bring you back to full strength.
In a way, it's as if this potion gives you half an extra life.
So, even if it costs 60,000 ryo, or even 600,000 ryo, it would be worth saving up for a spare dose. After all, when your life is on the line, no price is too high for a chance to stay alive.
Of course, most of the ninja in Konoha have undergone psychological training and are loyal to the village. They trust that the village wouldn't deceive them about the potion's effectiveness. Still, there were some skeptics. The claims about the potion's speed and power seemed almost too good to be true, and while some were eager to believe, others took a more cautious, neutral stance neither buying it immediately nor outright dismissing the rumors.
However, their doubts wouldn't last for long.
At Konoha Hospital, there were plenty of injured ninja who served as perfect test cases for the new potion. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the potion was administered in front of a large audience. The results were nothing short of astonishing.
Within three minutes, the potion began to take effect. Wounds started closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it couldn't regenerate severed limbs, ordinary injuries and trauma healed rapidly.
Once the price of the potion was revealed 50,000 ryo to make, but sold for only 60,000 ryo ninja flocked to the hospital in droves, eager to get their hands on it. A long line quickly formed outside the hospital, filled with eager shinobi waiting to purchase a dose.
Harano and his team of researchers worked around the clock, preparing the first batch of recovery potions. After five days and nights of tireless work, the first batch was completed. However, it was far smaller than expected only fifty doses. Despite the limited supply, every vial was sold out almost immediately.
