This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Minato tried several more times, and although he was interrupted in time each time before the frogification spread further, the longest he lasted was almost a minute, which was a significant improvement over his initial state.

With the help of the two immortals, Nishikawa Tetsuya successfully learned the art of dual rebirth and also completed his research record for the day, confirming that the natural energy provided by the two immortals was very stable.

It wasn't until dusk that he and Minato returned to Konoha.

After returning to the village, Minato still had to deal with the affairs of the community of shared destiny. Nishikawa Tetsu was reminded by Ichijima to first archive all the documents in his hand before checking the operation report of Konoha Express's first day of official operation.

By the time he finished processing the last document, it was already completely dark.

"Never mind, I'll check again tomorrow."

Nishikawa Tetsu rubbed his temples and decided to go back and rest first.

So, the next morning, as soon as Nishikawa Tetsu arrived at the Ministry of Finance, he saw Ichishima carrying a thick stack of documents, walking towards him like a moving mountain.

Good morning, Vice Minister.

There was a hint of resentment in Ichijima's tone.

"What happened?" Nishikawa Tetsu glanced at the documents in his arms. "Konoha Express had problems on its very first day?"

"There's nothing seriously wrong."

"Then why are you making that face?"

Ichishima glanced down at the document in his hand.

"Because there are just too many small problems."

Nishikawa Tetsu remained silent for a moment.

This is exactly what he expected for the first day of official business.

"Let's start with the most serious one."

"Yesterday morning, the staff in charge of the Eastern Express Delivery station discovered that three customers had entered the wrong weight of their goods."

"How many mistakes were made?"

"One person filled in 20% more than expected, another filled in half less, and there was another..."

Ichijima paused for a moment.

He wrote the quantity of goods as weight.

Nishikawa Tetsu stopped in his tracks.

"How did he get his order approved?"

"It didn't pass at first," Ichishima replied. "So he went to the station to explain that this is how he usually keeps accounts in his business."

"And then what happened?"

"Later, the inspection team re-weighed the goods according to the procedure and filled out a new order before he was able to send the goods away."

"This shows that the training was effective."

"But he cursed outside the station for half an hour, saying that we were deliberately making things difficult for customers."

"This shows that the training is not comprehensive enough."

Nishikawa Tetsu, holding the form, joked, "Next time we'll add a topic for training: how to deal with unreasonable customers."

Kazushima carefully wrote it down.

"Yes, Deputy Minister."

"You actually remember that?"

"You said that all problems should be recorded."

Nishikawa Tetsu opened his mouth, wondering if he had said that.

He shook his head and continued walking forward.

Konoha Express's operations office is right next to the Ministry of Finance; it's a temporary space that was cleared out.

Because the office has only been officially open for a short time, the desks, chairs, and filing cabinets all have a newly purchased feel to them.

A map of the first batch of stations was hanging on the wall, surrounded by markers of various colors.

Blue represents casters of the Flying Thunder Array that have been verified.

Yellow represents personnel who are currently undergoing training.

Red indicates a site that is temporarily closed and unusable.

In the very center, there was a piece of white paper that had just been pasted up.

There is only one line of text above.

Konoha Express officially opened for business yesterday.

Nishikawa Tetsu stared at the paper for a while, then walked to the map and looked at the operational records that Ichijima handed over.

How many orders were placed on the first day?

"A total of seventeen orders were officially registered. Nine of them passed the review, five were changed to rail and regular transportation because the goods did not meet the delivery requirements, and three others..."

"Did you fill it in wrong again?"

"No." Kazushima shook his head. "The three applications came from the same client, but they wanted to split the same batch of goods into three orders, scheduled for three different delivery periods."

Nishikawa Tetsu frowned.

"To take up more spots?"

"Yes."

"What was done after it was discovered?"

"Process it as a single order and ask the other party to clarify the intended use of the goods."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, what's the name of the person in charge of the review?"

"The young ninja of the Hyuga clan is named Hyuga Aoi."

"Increase performance bonuses."

"It's already been recorded."

Kazushima opened his notebook, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yesterday, he was so meticulous that he checked two ordinary boxes inside and out three times. Later, the customer got a little impatient, but he didn't back down."

"This is a good thing."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the increasing number of green markers on the map.

"On the first day, we're not afraid of being slow, we're afraid of chaos. As long as the process isn't disrupted by personal relationships or pressure, it's okay if it's a little slow."

"However, if you only process nine orders a day, Konoha Express will probably have a hard time making money," Ichishima whispered a reminder.

"We provide a delivery service, not regular freight," Nishikawa Tetsu said. "Regular freight should be transported by rail and road. The value of Konoha Express is to provide shorter delivery times when customers are willing to pay higher fees."

"If we were to cram all sorts of timber, food, and ore into the Flying Thunder Formation just to pursue order volume, that would go against the original intention of Konoha's Speed ​​Delivery."

"That's what Advisor Kakuzu said too."

"What else did he say?"

He said that if every order cannot cover the costs of personnel, maintenance, and inspection, then such orders should be stopped immediately.

Nishikawa Tetsu paused for a moment.

That makes a lot of sense.

He also said that the cost of the nutritional supplements you sent to Mount Myoboku should be deducted from your personal allowance.

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Ichishima expressionlessly.

"This proposal is unreasonable."

Why?

"What I sent to Mount Myōboku were failed experiments from the research group. No one else wanted them, and I did this to maintain the friendly relations between Mount Myōboku and Konoha. It was a necessary expense!"

"Advisor Kakuzu said you can pay for it privately."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned and left.

"Delete this part of the record."

"Vice Minister, you previously said that all issues should be recorded."

"..."

Nishikawa Tetsu rubbed his forehead; he really didn't remember saying that.

"Then record it somewhere that Advisor Kakuzu can't see it."

Ichijima quickly followed.

When the two arrived at the dispatch room, it was already quite full of people.

Staff responsible for registration, payment, and route planning are checking orders, while several ninjas who have mastered the Flying Thunder Formation technique are confirming the day's schedule.

Upon seeing Nishikawa Tetsu enter, everyone immediately stood up.

"Vice Minister."

"Sit down, don't act like I'm going to inspect your ninjutsu."

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand.

"Show me the nine orders that were approved yesterday."

The order was delivered to him quickly.

Four of them are high-value sealing materials, two are precision parts from research institutes and power companies, one is a contract document to be sent to the capital of the Land of Fire, and the remaining two are a small quantity of medical supplies.

These goods have one thing in common.

Either the goods are too valuable to be transported by ordinary caravans for extended periods, or the timeframe is tight and customers are willing to pay for faster delivery.

No one handed over dozens of cartloads of timber or a whole ship of grain to Konoha Express.

This pleased Nishikawa Tetsu.

"Have all these orders been handed over?"

"All done."

The staff member in charge of recording responded immediately.

"The outer packaging of a precision part was slightly damaged upon arrival, but the internal packaging was intact. The receiving personnel have taken photos as evidence and notified the shipper."

"Was there compensation?"

"According to the order terms, the outer packaging was provided by the shipper, and Konoha Express was responsible for delivery and handover at the station, so there was no direct compensation. However, we suggested replacing the packaging."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded.

"good."

The young man sitting next to him visibly breathed a sigh of relief; it was the first time he had been independently responsible for recording anomalies.

"Deputy Minister," another staff member raised his hand, "a customer has requested additional nighttime delivery, saying he's willing to pay three times the fee."

"I can't answer now."

Nishikawa Tetsu answered very decisively.

Why?

"The first batch of sites have just started operating, and the nighttime lighting, warning systems, and the shifts of casters for the flying mine arrays have not yet been fully verified."

"When will nighttime teleportation be available?"

"Once the person in charge has completed the verification, they will take out the test records. It will only be opened after it passes the test."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the map.

"We can adjust services based on revenue, but we cannot skip verification for the sake of revenue."

The dispatch room was quiet for a moment, and the staff member in charge of billing silently put the application in the postponement column.

On the first day of Konoha Express's official opening, there weren't many orders, and the revenue was far from astonishing.

However, every approved order has a clear record, and every rejected application has a clear reason.

For Nishikawa Tetsuya, this is already a good start.
