"It's a pity the ability only lasts fifteen days. I should use this ability to master alchemy first."
Uchiha Yoichi felt that this ability was one of the most practical superpowers. He could even materialize the medicinal materials for an Eighth-Grade Elixir in the Dream Space and gradually become proficient.
However, high-grade elixirs take a long time to refine, but in the Dream Space, Uchiha Yoichi could afford to be a bit bolder. Moreover, his control over the Golden Emperor Heaven-Burning Flame was very strong. While other alchemists took ten days to refine a Seventh-Grade Elixir, he might only need a fifth of that time, or even less.
Currently, the attention of the Ninja World was absorbed by the 'disaster,' and Victor's company had suddenly gone quiet.
According to the intelligence from the Kamui Clone, Victor had been summoned by Jigen for a meeting where Jigen wanted to find out who destroyed the Land of Water. He also dispatched two members of the Outer Array to investigate.
But they were doomed to find nothing. Perhaps later, they might discover it was Uchiha Yoichi's prophecy, but by then the disaster would likely be over.
Time sped by, and soon it was evening.
Uchiha Yoichi, looking at his empty house, suddenly felt the urge to find a woman publicly because his place felt too empty; although Yamanaka Ino was great, it had to be kept secret.
But at the sudden thought, he didn't know who to approach.
"Let's enter the Dream Space for now."
Quickly, Uchiha Yoichi lay down on his bed, calmed his mind, and soon entered his dream.
Arriving in the familiar space, Uchiha Yoichi directly materialized twenty Medicine Cauldrons, all of which were Yakujin's Black Demon Cauldrons, the best he remembered.
After materializing the cauldrons, Uchiha Yoichi waved his hand, and the Dream Space in front of him suddenly filled with an abundance of precious medicinal materials and Demon Beast Crystal Cores, all needed for refining Sixth-Grade Elixirs.
"With twenty clones, combined with the healing ability here being several times faster than the outside, it's sufficient for refining Sixth-Grade Elixirs..."
After saying this, Uchiha Yoichi then divided himself into twenty Shadow Clones, each of which took a Black Demon Cauldron, and began alchemy.
After training his spiritual power, the clones could now transmit memories to each other through spiritual power, instead of waiting to retrieve memories after dissolving the clones, which was too inefficient.
"Very good, the clones are left to alchemize and gain experience, next...."
Uchiha Yoichi used his ability to jump out of his dream and went looking for Yamanaka Ino's dream.

"Mystical Palm Jutsu!"
After sealing, Sakura's palm emitted green Chakra, and when placed on the injured person, it quickly stabilized the condition of the patient, with the wound also slowly healing.
After a while, Sakura finished the treatment and said, "Alright, bandage it up, change the dressing every three days, and it will heal in half a month."
"Thank you, thank you!"
After the injured person left, a Konoha Medical Ninja stepped forward and said, "Director, the patients nearby have stabilized, and they've all been sent to hospitals in other counties. Thanks to the Director's Katsuyu, we were able to heal so many people in such a short time.... By the way, an urgent message just arrived from the village."
This batch of medical teams led by Sakura arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, and within only half a day, most of the wounded were treated. Sakura alone used the Katsura Jutsu to treat more than half of the injured.
However, this also resulted in considerable Chakra consumption. Sakura was now very tired, but according to the original plan, they still had to go to the Land of Water for support.
Sakura had no objections to this, especially since going to the Land of Water meant she might have a chance to see Mr. Sasuke, which was something she was looking forward to...
But after reading Konoha's transmission, Sakura's brows slightly furrowed, then she sighed and turned to the other medical ninjas, saying, "Pack your things, we're heading back to the village tomorrow morning!"
"Eh? Heading back tomorrow, but things here aren't finished yet, and there's the Land of Water...."
"All the patients here have been dealt emergency treatment, they can be taken to hospitals elsewhere next, but the village needs us more, as for the Land of Water.... The Seventh already communicated with the Mizukage, so we will head back directly."
Sakura spoke calmly. Although she didn't know what was happening, the message from the village was formal, so they had to return; but fortunately, as long as they returned to the village by tomorrow afternoon, it would be fine.
Now that the Thunder Car connected all places, its speed rivals that of a ninja traveling at full speed, making it quite convenient to return to the village.
"Let's take a rest tonight, and head out first thing in the morning."
"Yes, Director!"
The medical ninja responded and went off to make arrangements.
Sakura hadn't been Director of Konoha Hospital for long, but no one had any complaints against her; not only was she a hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War, but she was also Tsunade's pupil, the top Medical Ninjutsu ninja in Konoha Ninja Village.
With so many credentials, all medical ninjas held deep respect for Haruno Sakura.
Not long after, as it grew late, Sakura returned to her resting area, preparing to rest for a good return to Konoha Ninja Village tomorrow.
The Chakra consumed today was too much, and after lying down on her bed, Haruno Sakura quickly fell asleep.
After entering the dream, Sakura, in a daze, suddenly felt as if she returned home, although she hadn't yet realized she was dreaming and had forgotten she treated many patients today.
Opening her eyes, Sakura found herself back home, but in the Dream Space, she couldn't remember why she was there, nor did she realize it was a dream, so she got up to look for Sarada.
"Sarada? Where did she go?"
Sakura went upstairs and downstairs, discovering Sarada was not at home, so she decided to look outside.
But as she stepped out, Sakura increasingly felt uneasy; there was no one outside either. She went to many places—the Hokage Building, Konoha Hospital, Ninja Academy, and the Security Team—yet it seemed like she was the last person in the entire Konoha Ninja Village.
Even if it was nighttime, there shouldn't be absolutely no one around, especially when many places had their lights on, yet there were no guards.
"Something's not right, where did everybody go?"
Exhausted from hurrying, Sakura was increasingly feeling strange. After resting for a while, she thought of visiting the Yamanaka Family; she also tried to break any Illusion Technique but found herself unlikely to be under one.
Upon arriving at the Yamanaka Family, Sakura suddenly saw from a distance that there seemed to be someone on the balcony of Ino House, and her heart filled with surprise as she rushed over.
However, as she got closer, Sakura suddenly stopped, hiding behind a tree in shock and slowly poking her head out to confirm.
'Ino, how could Ino be doing such a thing, and that person doesn't seem to be Sai, but the owner of Yoichi Pharmacy?'
Upon witnessing this, apart from a slow blush, Sakura's face increasingly showed shock.
'Why is Ino doing such a thing!? And in such a public place, can't everyone else see...'
Sakura's heart was full of confusion and doubt; she even suspected Ino was being threatened or under some Illusion Technique.
"No, I have to ask clearly why Ino is with this person, and where did everyone else in Konoha go..."
Just as she made up her mind, Sakura heard Ino shout loudly, then was embraced from behind by Uchiha Yoichi, with the two heading back inside.
Seeing this, Sakura quickly moved towards Ino House; arriving at the door, she jumped in directly, then entered inside through the courtyard's corridor.
Sakura then took off her shoes, stepping silently with bare feet on the wooden floor towards the second floor.
Upon reaching the second floor, Sakura unexpectedly found the room was actually not closed; she instantly saw the intense situation inside.
Ino's repeated shouts kept echoing in her ears.
For a moment, Sakura was somewhat entranced, slowly breathing heavily, even the strength in her legs gradually drained away.
With the ongoing situation inside the room, Sakura even covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound...
"Mmh!"
It was unclear how long had passed before the situation finally calmed down. Only then did Sakura suddenly snap back to reality, feeling some pain in her hand.
Looking down, Sakura noticed she had bit her own finger, and to avoid making noise, bit it quite hard. She hadn't even realized.
'No, no—I shouldn't keep watching....'
Sakura shook her head quickly, making a decision in her mind, then stood up. Feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she knocked on the door forcefully, saying, "Ino, are you there? I'm coming in?"
Having said that, she directly pushed the door open and walked in.
"S-Sakura? Don't come in, I haven't....."
Sakura just heard Ino speak like that, but the next second, she suddenly opened her eyes, then saw a somewhat familiar ceiling.
"Ino?"
Sitting up, Sakura suddenly realized she was in a place for treating injured and resting, quickly recalling she's not in Konoha Village.
"Was it a dream?"
Sakura let out a long sigh of relief; the dream just now was too real, making her think it was genuine. And now upon reflection, she still recalled it very clearly.
Every scene she saw seemed imprinted in her mind, it was so realistic.
"Why would I have such a dream, was it because I sensed something off..... Eh~?"
Feeling something beneath her as she blushed, Sakura realized she had the same condition, that dream indeed was too strange... And she quickly planned to get up, change clothes, and take a bath.
Meanwhile, in the Yamanaka Family at Konoha Mountain.
Yamanaka Ino suddenly woke up as well, muttering, "Sakura, don't come in...."
But Ino soon regained her senses, realizing she was at her home, which let her breathe a sigh of relief.
Yamanaka Ino patted her chest in relief, saying, "Luckily it's a dream, a dream..... But why was this dream so real?"
After catching her breath, Yamanaka Ino propped up her somewhat weakened body and headed towards the bathroom.
This dream had made her sweat all over, needing a good wash.
