This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 57 Xiao's Business Empire

In the Land of Rain, in a secluded valley.

The continuous rain has turned into a light drizzle today, and the valley is shrouded in mist.

A two-story wooden loft was built against the mountain, and a proper warehouse was even to be built next to it.

"Inventory confirmed! Fifty bottles of Penicillin No. 3 stock solution and two hundred bottles of No. 2 diluent!"

"Financial statements verified! Net profit increased by 30% last month! This is all thanks to selling the medicine to those cowardly nobles!"

In the "office" on the second floor, Yahiko was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses, which was said to increase the leader's authority. He was holding a pointer and pointing at the map on the wall.

His face was filled with excitement; he didn't look like the leader of a homeless orphanage, but rather like the CEO of a large company preparing for an IPO.

"Excellent! According to the business plan Che provided, our current cash flow is sufficient to support the second phase of the 'expansion' plan!"

Yahiko slammed his hand on the table, making the abacus on it rattle loudly.

"Xiao Nan! What's the current market share of our 'Xiao' brand medical kits?"

Xiao Nan sat behind a pile of account books and sighed helplessly.

She was folding paper in her hands, and chakra test strips flew from her nimble fingers, turning into moisture-proof cardboard boxes to package the medicine.

"Yahiko, stop acting." Konan's cool voice shattered Yahiko's illusion. "That's data from three nearby villages, not the entire ninja world, and besides..."

She pointed to the huge mixing tank outside the window, which was emitting white smoke:

"Nagato is about to collapse. If you don't go help, that bucket of quick-drying cement will solidify."

……

The open space outside the wooden house.

"drink!"

The red-haired Nagato was in a horse stance, his hands facing the large iron barrel with a diameter of two meters, his forehead covered in sweat.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

There were no violent wind blades, only a precisely controlled airflow that penetrated to the bottom of the barrel, causing the heavy gray mud inside to spin wildly.

This is the "quick-drying cement" sent by Nishikawa Tetsu. It has extremely high hardness, but it is extremely difficult to mix.

Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan and an astonishingly large amount of chakra, gloriously became a "human blender".

"Huff... huff..."

Nagato was panting heavily, her red hair curly from the steam.

"This is much more tiring than practicing ninjutsu..." Nagato muttered to himself.

"Idiot! Get your stance in harmony! Even out your chakra!"

Jiraiya sat cross-legged on a large rock, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing in his notebook, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

"Nagato, you possess the Rinnegan, how come you struggle so much even to mix cement? Even the Sage of Six Paths would cry if he saw this!"

Jiraiya complained to himself while secretly feeling alarmed.

This kid's chakra control is getting more and more insane.

Using a C-rank Wind Release technique to stir highly viscous cement without exploding the container requires an extremely high level of chakra control.

What kind of crazy ideas is this brat Che coming up with?

They say "labor is the best form of spiritual practice," yet they treat their disciple, who possesses the eye of God, like a laborer.

"Alright! The cement is ready!"

Nagato shouted and clasped his hands together abruptly. During this time, he had become more proficient in using the power of his eyes.

"Universal Guidance!"

Gravity-driven.

The bucket of cement slurry, weighing several hundred kilograms, defied gravity and floated up, then steadily poured into the newly erected mold next to it.

"Clap clap clap!"

Yahiko ran downstairs and led the applause: "As expected of Nagato! Now our new warehouse's foundation is solid! Efficiency has increased by 300%!"

Jiraiya watched this scene, his lips twitching.

The legendary Rinnegan... Bansho Ten'in... used to pour cement.

……

Lunchtime.

Four people sat around in the newly paved cement floor of the restaurant.

Today's lunch was very lavish, including grilled fish that Jiraiya caught and premium canned beef that Yahiko bought from the black market with the money he earned.

"Come on, let's drink to Akatsuki's business empire!"

Yahiko raised his glass full of juice, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Cheers!" Nagato and Konan also raised their glasses with smiles.

Jiraiya took a sip of sake, and seeing the long-lost rosy cheeks and smiles on the faces of the three children, he felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Six months ago, they were emaciated orphans who only knew hatred.

Now, they have a goal, bread, and their own "home".

"By the way, teacher."

Yahiko suddenly put down his cup and took out a design drawing from his pocket.

"We are designing Xiao's uniform. Che said in his letter that the image of an organization is very important, and it should be memorable at a glance."

"How about this?"

Yahiko unfolds the blueprints.

It was a long black robe with several red clouds painted on it.

"Red clouds?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Does it have any special meaning?"

"It symbolizes... the war and blood that once stained this country red." Yahiko's eyes deepened.

"We are draped in red clouds to warn ourselves and to tell the world that we will turn this blood-red sky into the dawn of a new day."

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

"He's pretty handsome." Jiraiya broke the silence, stroking his chin. "But..."

He suddenly pulled out three bright green bodysuits from behind his back, each with a cartoon toad pattern printed on it.

"I think this suits you better! A frog-themed bodysuit! Breathable, sweat-wicking, and with excellent concealment! This is the fashion of Mount Myoboku!"

Jiraiya, his eyes gleaming, enthusiastically promoted the outfit: "Wearing this, you'll be the 'Three Toads of Amegakure'! Doesn't that sound impressive!"

"..."

The three children looked at the eye-catching tight-fitting clothes and took a step back in unison.

"Rejected," Xiao Nan said. "Too ugly."

"Absolutely not." Nagato shook his head vigorously. "People would laugh at us to death."

"Teacher, this doesn't align with commercial aesthetics," Yahiko refused earnestly. "It will affect our product sales."

"Tch! You little brats who don't know how to appreciate things!"

Jiraiya reluctantly put away his bodysuit, muttering, "You'll know how good this suit is when you encounter a strong enemy... It's slippery, so it's not easy to get caught."

……

Late at night.

The rain in the Land of Rain began to fall again, drizzling down.

Jiraiya sat on the rooftop, gazing at the dark night sky in the distance.

"Quack."

A little toad jumped onto his shoulder.

"Lord Jiraiya, here's some information from Konoha."

"Oh?" Jiraiya took the secret letter and glanced at it in the dim moonlight.

The letter was written by Minato, and its contents were simple: the police department reform was going smoothly, Fugaku's eyesight was stable, and... Nishikawa Tetsu was researching something called "electromagnetic gun".

"Those two kids are doing quite well in Konoha."

Jiraiya put away the letter, a smile playing on his lips.

He lowered his head and looked through the skylight at the three children sleeping soundly inside the house.

Yahiko was clutching his account book, talking in his sleep about "discounts"; Konan had an unfinished cardboard box beside her; Nagato was curled up in a corner, his brows slightly furrowed even in his sleep.

"Change the world...?"

Jiraiya picked up the sake bottle beside him and took a swig.

"The Great Toad Sage said I must travel the world to find the Child of Destiny."

"perhaps……"

He glanced inside the house, then looked in the direction of Konoha.

"I don't need to look anymore, they're already on their way."

Jiraiya stood up, his red coat fluttering in the night wind.

"But before that, as your teacher, I still need to shelter you from the storm for a while longer."

He sat down again and took out the novel he had only half-finished.

The pen tip scratched across the paper.

The protagonist of the story is Naruto, but there seem to be many other figures in this story as well.

A golden shadow, a rational shadow, and three shadows huddled together in the rain.
