Chapter 333 A Passerby Who Died a Violent Death in the Naruto World (8)
After dinner, Jiang Yue took a walk in the yard. It had been years since she had visited her own home. The next day, she went out for a stroll and was surprised to see so many people. She hadn't eaten Ichiraku Ramen and dango in a long time either. When she arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, the shop was still exactly the same as before, and it felt like the curtain outside hadn't been changed at all.
After finishing a bowl of ramen, Jiang Yue bought some meatballs and browsed other snack shops. There were still many people selling snacks during the Chinese New Year. After walking around, Jiang Yue was full and ready to go home. When she passed Ino's house, she saw that the flower shop was still open and decided to buy a bouquet of flowers.
When they entered the flower shop, only Jingye was there; her parents were nowhere to be seen. Upon seeing Jiang Yue enter, she hurriedly asked, "Boss lady, you're here! What kind of flowers would you like to buy? We have all kinds of flowers."
"Ino, aren't your parents home?"
"They've gone out to watch the fireworks. I'm just minding the shop at home."
"Okay, you pick one for me."
"How about this one? It's perfect for lazy people; you just need to water it occasionally."
"Okay, this one will do."
After buying the flowers, Jiang Yue went home from the flower shop. She spent the next few days watching dramas and reading books. After cultivating for several years, she wanted to take a few days off. The following months were very comfortable for Jiang Yue. She had practiced ninjutsu and other techniques to a high degree. In the past few months, she mainly studied the nature transformation of chakra and saw if she could create something like ice release.
Then there's Yin-Yang Release. Yin-Yang Release is an advanced application of Yin-Yang attributes. In theory, with Jiang Yue's current abilities, she should already be able to use it. However, her research is too superficial. She has only learned the simple application of Yin-Yang attribute ninjutsu, including ninjutsu itself. If she really encountered a master, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat even one of them.
The next few months were spent with Jiang Yue mastering the nature transformation of chakra, until the graduation ceremony of the Ninja Academy. Unfortunately, the graduation ceremony was reported by an insider of the school, and Jiang Yue, an outsider, could not see it. However, at night, it was obvious that the village was under martial law, which was about the day Naruto took away the Book of Seals.
Jiang Yue had seen the Book of Seals. So many people were guarding it, and it was sealed. If the Third Hokage hadn't deliberately let Naruto take it away, Jiang Yue would have eaten the table in front of her. Considering the current situation, it seemed like this was another test and trial.
Jiang Yue didn't go out to join the fun; there wasn't much to see. Jiang Yue actually wanted to see Naruto and Sasuke kiss on the day of the class assignments, but the class assignments at the Ninja Academy were something Jiang Yue couldn't know about either. She didn't have a suitable reason to go to the school, and even finding someone to take a picture for her wouldn't work. Everything inside the school was confidential, and ordinary genin couldn't just wander around the school without permission. What if the students' information was leaked completely?
With the Ninja Academy's class assignments completed, the new batch of genin began to stir in the village. They could be seen carrying out missions everywhere. Even at the place where Jiang Yue usually went fishing, there were people on missions. The teacher leading the team was picking up trash with three kids, which scared away all of Jiang Yue's fish.
When she got home in the evening, she had another empty bucket. After putting the empty bucket away, she planned to go out to get something to eat. She originally wanted to eat fish today, but since they couldn't get any, she could only have barbecue. She hadn't been to her family's barbecue restaurant for a while. When she arrived, the restaurant was quite crowded, and Jiang Yue had to wait in line for a while before it was her turn.
The shop she visited today was one she didn't frequent. Apart from the shop manager, no one else knew her. A new meatball shop had recently opened not far away, and Jiang Yue had heard that the meatballs were delicious. After buying the meatballs, she decided to eat them here and also check out this shop to see if there were any problems she could resolve.
After finishing my meal, I chatted with the manager, who told me something: "Boss, there's been a problem with the seafood supply in the store lately."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"That's right. Recently, the Qiu family has been supplying us with much less seafood. It's not just us; other shops have also been supplying less. I heard that the Qiu family is adjusting its business structure and has reduced its investment in seafood."
"Other seafood suppliers don't have extra quotas for us unless we buy from others at a higher price. What do you think we should do?"
Jiang Yue thought about it and realized it was indeed a problem: "I'll handle this." The store manager nodded when he heard Jiang Yue say this. Anyway, the boss already knew about it, so he didn't need to worry about it.
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Jiang Yue went to the Akimichi family's house for a visit. The situation was the same as the manager had said. After leaving the Akimichi family's house, Jiang Yue calculated the time. It had been more than ten years since the Third Shinobi World War. According to the plot, the Fourth Shinobi World War would begin in another five years. There were probably already frictions on the border.
No wonder the Akimichi family adjusted their industries. They had no choice but to find their own way since others couldn't supply them. After arriving home, Jiang Yue took out a map and looked at it. Finally, she focused on the Land of Waves. Jiang Yue remembered that the story started with the bridge-building mission in the Land of Waves. This bridge should connect the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire.
Once the bridge is built, trading will be much more convenient. The cost of transporting seafood back from there is about the same. Instead of paying a high price to buy it, it's better to do this business yourself. That way, you won't be held hostage by others in the future. With this in mind, Jiang Yue went to find the shop manager near her home. She would take him with her this time, and he could handle any issues that might arise later.
After preparing everything, Jiang Yue went to the mission office to post a mission. She didn't specifically wait for Naruto and the others to come together; if they met, they would meet together, and if not, so be it. After posting the mission, she went home to start preparing things.
After the supplies were prepared, she waited for the ninja to accept the mission. Without a ninja, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to travel far. A few days later, the mission office notified her that a ninja had accepted the mission. This time, they took her to meet the ninja who had accepted the mission. Jiang Yue was already familiar with this process, so she went with the person.
Upon arriving at the destination, Jiang Yue heard Naruto shouting before she even entered the door. It seemed that Kakashi had accepted the mission. After all, Jiang Yue's mission was only a C-rank mission, which was simply to escort her to the Land of Waves and back. It did not involve fighting ninjas, so there was a chance of them running into each other.
Upon entering, Naruto's boisterous voice rang out. Tazuna stood beside him, indicating they had finished their conversation and were waiting for Jiang Yue. Notably, the Third Hokage was also present. Naruto, seeing Jiang Yue enter, asked in surprise, "Boss, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to issue the mission. Naruto is amazing now, he's become a ninja who can stand on his own."
Ignoring Naruto's silly grin, he nodded to Kakashi and then looked at the Third Hokage: "Greetings, Hokage-sama."
