Chapter 38 Renting and Training
Kakashi didn't want to explain too much to a twelve-year-old child. His mission this time was half public and half private. His friendship with Uchiha Obito was part of the reason, but Sasuke was not Obito after all.
Naruto has an ordinary face. When Tsunade sees him, she thinks of her younger brother. When Sai sees him, she thinks of Nobuyuki. When Obito sees him, he thinks of his past. A lot of people think of all kinds of relatives when they see his back, including but not limited to his father, brother, younger brother and son. It seems that a weakened version of Kotoamatsukami is constantly in Naruto's body. Everyone wants to chat with him and reminisce about the past.
Sasuke didn't have the ability to do so, so Kakashi didn't want to exchange pleasantries and just waved for him to follow him.
The two left the hospital and soon arrived at a cave in the back mountain of the village.
Kakashi said bluntly: "Hokage-sama ordered me to help you open your Sharingan. I don't know much about how your family opened their eyes, so I can only provide some assistance. If you don't mind, let's get started now?"
Sasuke lacked trust in Kakashi, a stranger, but he was more eager for power and the Sharingan. Ino, whom he had always looked down upon, had made him so embarrassed that he wished he could open the Sharingan immediately.
Kakashi made hand seals with his hands: "Let me briefly describe the process. Your eyes and part of the chakra in your body are sealed. I need you to bypass this area, connect your eyes, and then open your eyes directly. To do this, I need to use illusion to stimulate your spiritual energy. My illusion level is only average, so I need you to cooperate with me. Remember, completely relax your body so that my illusion can affect you."
Sasuke thought seriously for a few seconds. Maybe the two of them were born to get along well. He had a certain degree of trust in Kakashi. The level of trust was not high, but he didn't have much choice at this time.
"I understand. Let's get started."
Time goes by day by day.
Kakashi was taking Sasuke to train in opening his Sharingan. Ino was very concerned about collecting rent from rented houses, and after getting the keys to a total of 15 unused houses from the Yamanaka and Nara families, she began looking for tenants.
What does the Yamanaka family do? They are responsible for intelligence work.
Ninjas don't care too much about the lives of civilians, but they can find out which family needs to rent a house and which family is richer. This is also one of the reasons why Shikamaru handed the work over to Ino and became a hands-off boss. His father is the leader of the Jonin class and the chief of staff of the Hokage. It is true that he is in a high position and has great power, but he usually doesn't care about these trivial matters.
Ino made precise plans based on personal needs and her family's actual income and spent two days planning. On the morning of the third day, she took the "client" to see the house.
"Everyone, look to my left. The three houses here can be rented out. Look at this location. It's right next to the commercial district. Do you know the most famous flower shop in Konoha Village, Yamanaka Flower Shop? It's just northwest of this block. If you walk north for 120 meters, you will find the Ninja School. Parents like you must want your children to get an excellent education and a safe environment to grow up in, right? Let me tell you, the teachers in the Ninja School all live nearby, and the weakest one is a Chunin! Think about it, your children will be taught and protected by Chunin. Is there any safer place in the Land of Fire than this?"
Ino was eloquent and talked endlessly about the many benefits of "school district housing".
She talked about the value of the house from many aspects, from business, convenience to children's schooling. When villagers asked about the rent, she avoided the question and just hinted that the rent here was more expensive and they should be mentally prepared. In one morning, five of the fifteen houses were rented out.
In fact, for her, it would be more profitable for her to let these tenants buy houses.
It doesn't matter if you are short of money, she can provide loans, and it's not impossible to borrow money. Ino is not worried that someone will not pay back the money. How dare a few civilians fight against ninjas? I can't beat Kaguya Otsutsuki, but can I beat a few civilians like you?
It's just that there is no need to do this. Selling the house now is really a shame.
It would take at most half a year for Orochimaru to complete his plan to collapse Konoha. By then, the village would not be completely destroyed, but at least several blocks would have been destroyed by those giant snakes.
Originally, when Asagiri returned home, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame just came over for a stroll and basically did not take any action. But now it is hard to say. Sasuke looks so miserable, what if a butterfly effect occurs?
If someone builds a dam like Kisame, perhaps half of Konoha Village will be destroyed.
The people who built the dam left, and three years later the people who carried rice came back. Persuading people to buy a house in the disaster-stricken Konoha Village is absolutely a bolt from the blue. Ino still has a bottom line. It is enough to rent, and there is no need to buy a house.
"Oh my god! Why can't I explain it to you clearly? This house is only for rent, not for sale!" When several villagers heard about the many conveniences of "school district housing", they were very excited. With the mentality of buying at a bargain price, they kept clamoring to buy it, but she refused again and again.
We have been talking for the whole afternoon and still haven’t made it clear. The more you don’t sell, the more we want to buy.
Her resolute attitude indirectly proved the value of the house. Originally, only five units were rented out, but when she said goodbye to the house-viewing group in the afternoon, all fifteen units were rented out . One third of the rent had to be paid to the family, and the remaining 40% had to be given to Shikamaru. The amount was not much, but fortunately this income was stable. Before Orochimaru came to make trouble, the rent could more or less make up for her increasingly thin wallet.
After arranging the rental, she went to the Nara family. The money issue still needed to be clarified in advance, but when she arrived at the Nara family, she found out that Shikamaru was taken out for training by the elders of the family.
Wow! This guy who complains about troubles every day can be very fierce when he rolls up!
She left a note with all the details of the rental and then rushed home as she also had to go back for training.
Apart from anything else, she has been practicing water jutsu these past two days, and she feels that her water jutsu will soon be upgraded to level 2.
Judging from the values of the Eight Items of Ninja, Ino is already on par with stronger Genin like Kankuro and Temari, but if they were to actually fight, she probably still wouldn't be able to beat Temari.
Temari is three years older than her and Shikamaru. The difference in strength between a fifty-three-year-old and a fifty-year-old is not big, but the difference between a four-year-old and a one-year-old is too big. Temari is good at wind-style ninjutsu with strong attack power, has special ninja tools, and summoned beasts. If they were to fight now, Ino would not be able to win. She has been a ninja for two years, has done a lot of missions, and is good at a lot of ninjutsu. They haven't graduated yet, how can they beat her? Ino's stats are enough, but she still has few ninjutsu.
In the original time and space, Shikamaru was able to force Temari to that extent through step-by-step planning. That was truly amazing and one cannot help but admire it.
