Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 135: Business plan

"I went to the clan headquarters after coming back from the hospital," Kaida said.

"Why?"

"I want to learn a jutsu used by Lady Tsunade as a reward. Sensei had promised me, but to learn that jutsu, I have to be at the level of a seal master in fuinjutsu first," Kaida said.

"So you went to the headquarters to learn that?" Yomi asked.

"Yes and no, actually it's not that simple. Learning fuinjutsu is both difficult and expensive, not everyone can learn that. I had to ask the clan for permission and then had to pay a huge amount to learn just the basics," Kaida said after sighing.

"Now you're even learning fuinjutsu, is there anything left that you're not going to learn?" Yomi said after rolling her eyes.

"I can't do anything about it, I have to learn this," Kaida said.

"Well, best of luck. From the looks of it, you have to try really hard to learn this fuinjutsu if it's that expensive," Yomi said.

"Yes, but I will try my best," Kaida said.

"I'm sure you will," Hae said after coming to the hall with some snacks in her hand, followed by Shisui, who was also carrying some snacks.

"So you succeeded in convincing him to allow you to learn fuinjutsu?" Shisui said.

"Actually, it wasn't even hard to convince him. I just asked him once, and he agreed," Kaida said.

"That's nice," Shisui said while eating some snacks.

"Go wash your hands and then come back," Hae said to Kaida.

"Okay, aunty," Kaida said.

After eating the snacks and chatting with each other, everyone went to do different things, while Kaida and Shisui went out for a simple kenjutsu spar.

Since Kaida was improving rapidly, Shisui started to enjoy those spars as well, as they were helping him to refine his skills too, so Kaida and Shisui now sparred regularly.

"How much is he charging you?" Shisui asked.

"200,000 for the basics, 500,000 for seal master level, 1 million for grandmaster level," Kaida said.

"That scammer, he's such a shrewd man," Shisui cursed Fugaku.

"I know this is expensive, brother, but it's not to the point that you have to curse him," Kaida said.

"Expensive? This is nothing. When I asked him if I could learn fuinjutsu or not, he allowed me to learn that, but the price he told me was more than twice what he told you," Shisui roared.

"This doesn't make sense. Why would a newcomer like me get a better offer than you?" Kaida said.

"Well, you have a better reason to learn this. I just wanted to learn it because I somehow got to know how much a seal master earns a month, hahaha," Shisui said with an awkward laugh. Kaida just shook his head at that.

After a simple spar, they went back to their house, ate dinner, and went back to their rooms.

In his room, Kaida was thinking,

'Until now, I didn't have to worry about money since I was getting more than enough from just completing those D-rank missions, but now that I'm learning so many things, I don't think I will have much time to do missions to earn money other than those 2000 D-rank missions I have to complete weekly.

And in the future, the need for money will keep increasing. I have to start thinking about making money. This should be easy since I know quite a few things about the future, but at first, let's put this land I got to some good use.' While he was opening the land deed he got from Fugaku,

The land he got was at quite a good location, not only for a ninja but for a businessman. The land was near the civilian area.

Even though it was very far from the market, it was not a problem for Kaida since he was not planning on opening a shop or something.

'The best use for this land will be opening a hot steam bathhouse. There are only two in the whole of Konoha. Also, it will be perfect to come into contact with one of the most powerful ninja in Konoha, who is also a pervert. I should talk about this with brother,' Kaida thought with a mischievous smile on his face.

(A.N: 😉)

After that, he went to sleep. The next morning, he went downstairs after completing his morning routine.

Shisui and Hae were already sitting in the main hall, enjoying morning tea. Kaida also joined them.

"Good morning, aunt. Good morning, brother."

"Good morning," both of them replied.

"Yomi isn't joining us?" Kaida asked.

"No, she said that today she's going to sleep until afternoon to fully enjoy her holiday," Hae said.

Both Kaida and Shisui laughed at that.

"Brother, I wanted to ask you something," Kaida said while taking a sip of his coffee.

"What is it?"

"Do we own a business?"

"No, but we do own three shops," Shisui said.

"Oh! What do we sell in those shops?" Kaida asked.

"Weapons in one, clothes in the other two, but why are you asking?" This time, Hae replied.

"Aunt, I was planning to put my reward to some good use," Kaida said.

"Which reward?" Hae asked.

"I just got 5 acres of land, near the border, just where the civilian area starts," Kaida replied.

"Why would you get 5 acres of land as a reward?" Hae asked since it was not common to get such a reward.

"I simply asked for it," Kaida lied without batting an eye, since telling her about the Danzo incident would just make her worry unnecessarily.

Hae nodded her head and then asked, "Can you show me exactly where you got that land?"

"Yes, aunty," Kaida said and then showed her the land on the map.

Hae thought for some time and then said, "This land is really worthless if you want to open a shop there. Both the Uchiha shopping district and the civilian shopping district are quite far away from that position."

Kaida understood that Hae was the one responsible for operating the shops in this house, so he decided to discuss his plan with her rather than Shisui.

"Aunt, I'm not planning on opening a shop, but a hot steam bathhouse," Kaida said.

Hae's eyebrows went up a little, then she went silent for some time, thinking about various aspects of this business plan. After some time, she looked toward Kaida and said,

"There are already two bathhouses in Konoha. Why do you think people will come to your bathhouse?"

Kaida had a feeling that he was sitting in front of a sponsor and pitching an idea for a startup, with the same seriousness he replied,

"Aunt, I'm planning to open both a regular bathhouse and a luxurious bathhouse. Also, both of them will have medicinal properties.

I've explored the benefits of certain herbs and plants renowned for their dual abilities to aid in bodily recovery and enhance skin texture, as well as adding a glow to the skin."

Hae's eyes shined for a moment, and Kaida was sure he saw Ryo symbols in her eyes.

"This is a great idea. If we promote those beauty effects, then I'm sure that the bathhouse will be a super hit, at least in the female population of Konoha.

But others could steal this idea. Not only do you have competition with two other bathhouses, but others may also open similar bathhouses in the future," Hae said.

'She is definitely a businesswoman, as she is already thinking about future problems which may arise,' Kaida thought.
