Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 146: promotional plan

"Thank you, Sensei," Kaida said and went out of the hospital. Since it was already 4 pm, after leaving the hospital, he directly went toward Sora's house.

"Good evening, Sensei," Kaida said to Sora as soon as he entered his house.

"Good evening, so how is your training going?" Sora asked, as in the last 2 months, Kaida had rarely asked any doubts; he was mainly focusing on figuring things out by himself.

"The training is coming along well, Sensei. I have more or less mastered the seals from the book you have given me. I just need one more week to completely master some of those seals because there is too much loss of chakra when I am making those seals," Kaida replied.

"You know you can always come to me whenever you have any doubts or problems, right?" Sora said.

"Yes, Sensei, but Sensei, I want to take next week off," Kaida asked.

"Why?"

"Sensei, I have been focusing on medical jutsu and fuinjutsu for more than 4 months now, so I am planning to take some missions out of the village for a change," Kaida replied.

"As you wish, just be safe and don't do anything reckless," Sora repeated the same things as Mitsuru, as he also felt that Kaida was not made for such types of missions; he was too talented in fuinjutsu and medical jutsu.

"I will be careful, Sensei," Kaida replied with a smile and went back towards his house, while Sora also got back to his training.

...

"You are home quite early," Shisui said, looking toward Kaida.

"Brother, you are back."

"Yup, but why are you home so early?"

"I asked both of my senseis for one week off. I want to focus on the inauguration of our bathhouse as well as complete some missions out of the village.

Anyways, did you bring back those herbs I talked about?" Kaida asked.

"Here," Shisui said, tossing a storage scroll toward Kaida.

Kaida caught the scroll and took out the herbs from that.

After checking that all the herbs were present and his brother was not tricked by some merchant, Kaida sighed in relief. He did that because even though Shisui was powerful and kind-natured, he was not shrewd like a businessman, and people could use him for their advantage.

Though he is not a complete moron either, and to really use him, you have to be a manipulator close to the level of Hiruzen and Danzo.

But there is no risk in being extra cautious, but that was actually unnecessary. There were no merchants in the ninja world who would do something as stupid as making an enemy out of a Jonin and that too someone from Konoha for some extra money.

"With this, we can finally start the bathhouse," Kaida said.

"Not really, we have invested way too much to just do things randomly. I had already sent various letters to many important people. When we get back all the replies, we will finalize a date on which we will open the bathhouse," Hae said, entering the hall.

"Till when do you think you will get the answers, mom?" Shisui asked.

"Well, most of them had already answered. Only some higher-ups are remaining, but I think we should get their reply by this evening as well. For now, Kaida, go wash your hands; I will prepare some small snacks for you," Hae said.

"Mom, I am also back," Shisui said, like he is the forgotten child of the house.

"Who? Oh wait, you are back? Sorry, it totally slipped my mind that we had another child. My bad! I will prepare something for you as well, honey," Hae said and went toward the kitchen.

"Aunt is getting better at this," Kaida said.

"Nope, she was always this good; she just doesn't give many savage replies nowadays," Shisui said, shaking his head.

"We always discover something new every day," Kaida said.

"Yup."

Then they went to wash their hands and had some snacks and discussed various strategies to promote the bathhouse.

"I think that giving a day of free trial is the best idea," Kaida said.

"Why do you think that?" Hae asked.

"Aunt, our main target customers are going to be the ladies of our village who will visit the bathhouse for its beauty-enhancing quality, but the problem is it is difficult to tell them that the bathhouse has such quality.

So I have been thinking that we give a day of free trial after the inauguration ceremony and pay some ladies to spread the effects of the bathhouse. When those ladies will hear those details after actually experiencing them, they will be fully convinced about the effects of our bathhouse," Kaida said.

"Yup, and the only loss we are going to make is just 40,000 Ryo, which will be the operational cost excluding the salary of the staff. The investment far outweighs the result, let's do it," Hae said.

"Are we only going to focus on women? I think we also made a medicinal bath for ninjas for their physical recovery and stuff, right? What about that?" Shisui asked.

"Son, we are currently focusing on the part which will bring a steady stream of income really soon. As for the medicinal bath, which is for ninjas, that will also be free, and we will also promote that one too. But from what we are estimating, the amount we will get from that bath will be less than 20% of what we will get from the bath focused on the beauty aspect," Hae said.

Hae had personally experienced the effect of that bath. Kaida had especially secured a batch of medicines for the trial, and after experiencing the effect of the bath, Hae was 100% sure that this bath would be a super hit among the ladies.

The only downside is that the effect is not permanent and will slowly wear off in 2-3 days, but this downside is from the customer's side. For Kaida and family, this is excellent as when the effect wears off, the ladies will have to come back to get their 'Natural Glow' back.

"Okay," Shisui said, understanding why they were focusing on women more than men.

'Is it just me, or are they becoming more and more money-minded day by day?' Shisui thought.

After that, Hae and Kaida discussed some more tricks to promote the bathhouse and specified firsthand that the effects are not permanent so that no Karen would come to their door, blaming them for being scammers.

At 7:00 pm, Yomi also came back from her training.

"Welcome back, Yomi," Shisui said.

"Thank you, brother. Umm, what are they discussing?" Yomi asked, pointing towards Kaida and Hae, who were still discussing the bathhouse.

"Business and stuff," Shisui said, as this was enough to remove Yomi's interest from the topic, as just like Shisui, she also didn't have any interest in money. Even when she and Kaida were not part of the Uchiha clan, Kaida was the only one who used to manage all the expenses, not Yomi.

"So tell me, Yomi, how was your training?" Shisui said, pointing toward the sofa.

"My Sensor training is over today, brother. I had successfully made my chakra field today," Yomi said.

"Oh! That's very great; I knew you were very talented," Shisui said.

"Me too," Kaida said, coming toward them, followed by Hae, who had a glass of juice in her hand.

"Good job, honey, now is your training over?" Hae asked, handing the glass to Yomi.

"No, Aunty, only my sensing training is over. From tomorrow, we are going to start my Tracking training, but according to what my sensei told me, that is going to be easier and way less time-consuming.

So my training should be over in 2-3 months," Yomi said.

"Oh! That's great."

"Since you had already made your chakra field, let's have a celebration; let's eat today's dinner at a restaurant," Shisui said.
