I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 119 Why can you just take off the long robe that you risked your life to put on?

"Dai, what happened to your face? Are cats that powerful? Even a ninja like you can get scratched?"

As soon as Might Guy entered the tricolor dumpling shop, he was greeted by laughter. He ignored it, simply wiping the scratches and cigar residue from his face, and said to the counter:

"Two skewers of three-color meatballs and one serving of plum daifuku, please pack them up."

The girl at the counter nodded and began packing food for Matt, but the surrounding diners seemed somewhat displeased, and some started to grumble:

"As a ninja, you only ordered this much? Are you out of money? We ordinary people aren't as poor as you, are we?"

Nearby, someone chimed in, "Hey! Dai's poverty isn't because he's a ninja, but because he can't let go of his ninja pride and is unwilling to solve his predicament through hard work."

"If you ask me, he should take off his ninja headband and go back to work. He'd be better off pulling a cart and delivering goods than doing pointless training every day."

Listening to the discussions around him, Dai kept his head down, an unnatural smile on his face, not daring to show his bad mood to those around him.

"Brother Dai, don't mind them. I added some extra plum sauce for you. Take it back for Sister Xiaoxu."

The girl at the counter looked very angry, but as an employee, she didn't dare to lose her temper with the customer. She could only give Dai a larger dumpling and give Matt more sauce.

Outside the Three-Colored Dumpling Shop, Uchiha Tenka, who had finished his training and brought two "enemies" to buy his favorite food, was furious upon seeing the situation inside the shop and even wanted to rush in and teach the others a lesson.

However, Tatsuma and Minato each held down one of Tenka's shoulders. Tatsuma whispered in Tenka's ear, "After you cause trouble, they won't dare to pursue you, Uchiha, but they will hold a grudge against Brother Dai."

"What can we do?! Just watch them insult Brother Dai?"

Uchiha Tenka was indignant. Tatsuma saw that Might Guy had already picked up his takeout box and was about to turn around when he pulled Uchiha Tenka and disappeared in an instant.

Matt Day sensed a few familiar figures outside the door, but when he came to his senses, he realized they were just passersby. For some reason, he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, no one I knew saw me in such an embarrassing state, otherwise they would definitely question whether I hadn't lived up to my youthful ideals.

Might Guy thought to himself as he walked towards home, planning to spend quality time with his wife today, and then head to the training grounds to see the passionate young men tomorrow, the last day of the Ninja Academy's holiday.

After Mighty left the street, Tatsuma and his two companions emerged from an alleyway. Tatsuma thought for a moment and said, "We can't change the mindset of these people in the village on our own."

"What should we do then?"

Uchiha Tenka's anger had not subsided, and even Minato frowned. Clearly, even someone as gentle as him couldn't help but feel indignant about Might Guy's fate.

"We cannot change how people perceive Brother Dai, but we can change his circumstances."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, Minato asked curiously, "How will it change?"

Uchiha Tenka was also staring at Tatsuma with his big eyes. Although they had only known each other for a little over a month, Tenka had already developed some respect for Might Guy, the genin who had been teaching them taijutsu.

Although Matt Dai seems strange and has an odd personality, he is incredibly dedicated when teaching them. In their training camp, Matt Dai's name has become synonymous with that of their school's teachers.

"Let's go back and talk about it first."

Chenma shook his head, not immediately revealing his thoughts, but returned to the third training ground. Although the agreed training time for today had ended, those students who had rolled up their sleeves were not going home on time.

Seeing the group return, Inuzuka Tsurugi said with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you to bring me some dumplings too? Why did you come back empty-handed?!"

"Woof woof~"

Her ninja dog, Kuromaru, also barked in dissatisfaction. There were quite a few other classmates who, like Inuzuka Tsurugi, had Tatsuma do things for them, and they were all looking at the group with resentful eyes.

Tatsuma smiled and said, "Sorry, something unexpected happened, and we didn't buy any tricolor dumplings."

Upon hearing this, the complaints on everyone's faces disappeared. People are always more concerned about unfairness than scarcity. If Chenma and the other two ate alone and didn't bring them any, they would naturally be dissatisfied.

However, if Tatsuma and the other two didn't get to eat the three-colored dumplings, they would feel at peace and wouldn't be angry anymore.

"Tatsuma, tell me what you were thinking just now."

Uchiha Tenkaze, or rather the Uchiha clan, was naturally incapable of formalities. He urged Tatsuma anxiously, and Tatsuma nodded, waving his hand to summon more than a dozen students from the class.

Once the students were close, Tatsuma said, "During this time, Minato, Tenpu, Sento, Kushina, and I taught everyone how to use explosive tags and sealing scrolls."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but their eyes were filled with even more confusion. They didn't understand why Chenma was saying this at this moment. Tianfeng even slapped his forehead, with an expression of "I understand now," and said:

"So, you collect tuition fees from everyone and then give them to Brother Dai?"

"Duang~"

Tatsuma gave Tenka a flick on the forehead without any mercy, making Tenka so angry that he wanted to fight Tatsuma for another three hundred rounds. But Tatsuma didn't want to pay him any attention, and reached out to shove away Tenka's face as he leaned in, saying to everyone:

"School starts the day after tomorrow, and there won't be much time to exchange and learn these extracurricular topics together like we do now. But I don't want everyone to become rusty in these skills, so I think everyone can draw more explosive tags and sealing scrolls in their spare time."

"But...scrolls are also very expensive."

A Sarutobi clan member raised his hand. He had spent almost all of his allowance on summer schoolwork, mostly on blank scrolls. Scrolls that can store chakra are not ordinary paper, and they are quite expensive.

"I understand, so we should sell the scrolls we successfully make during our practice to earn more money to buy more scrolls for practice."

Tatsuma continued explaining, and Minato, having already grasped the situation, played the perfect straight man, a troubled expression on his face, and said:

"But Tatsuma, the students are about to start school. Even if we have explosive tags and sealing scrolls, we won't be able to sell them, right? The ninja tool shop has its own supply channels and may not buy our explosive tags and sealing scrolls."

"As expected of you, Minato!"

Tatsuma glanced at Minato with admiration, inwardly expressing genuine praise. He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said:

"Indeed, no one has time to sell, and ninja tool shops won't buy them, so we need a trustworthy person to help everyone sell the explosive tags and sealing scrolls to some individual buyers."

Seeing the two teasing each other, Kushina understood what they meant and said, "How about we ask Brother Dai to help us sell them? I heard that there are fewer D-rank missions in the village recently, so he should have time."

I've collected over two hundred sealing scrolls. If I could exchange them for money... hehe~

Chenma nodded again and said, "It's not just about explosive tags and sealing scrolls. We can also ask Brother Dai to sell other things for us, and then give Brother Dai a share of the profits."

"I've recently started learning how to make dog food for ninja dogs. Besides our Inuzuka clan, there are quite a few other families in the village that keep ninja dogs, and they'll definitely need some too!"

Hana Inuzuka slammed her right fist into her left palm, her eyes beginning to light up. She hadn't yet learned how to make explosive tags and sealing scrolls, and originally thought she wouldn't be able to make money like everyone else, but now it seemed that wasn't necessarily the case!

Uchiha Tenkaze joined in again, saying, "And our Uchiha clan's cat food! No ninja cat can resist our Uchiha clan's raw bone and flesh cat food."

"Our Aburame family also raises some harmless insects, as do the ninjas who possess ninja hawks and ninja pigeons."

As one of the insect envoys was speaking, he realized that no one was looking at him, so he simply shut his mouth. After he stopped talking, no one noticed that something was wrong.

At this moment, Lu Jiu's face showed a rare sign of energy. He glanced at Hai Yi and Ding Zuo and said, "Our three clans can also cooperate to make some insect repellent medicine."

Who wouldn't love pocket money?

"That's good! Both ninja dogs and ninja cats need to be dewormed regularly."

Shikaku's suggestion was approved by everyone, but Aburame Shiki became even more withdrawn, feeling like he was the insect being driven away.

As the legendary elite class, most of Tatsuma's classmates are from ninja clans, and their families have some "special products". The few non-ninja clan members are all descendants of elite ninjas in the village. They all know a little about the production of ninja necessities such as explosive tags, sealing scrolls, smoke bombs, flash bombs, and soldier pills, and can get involved in this business.

Only Shimi Aburame, who was ignored by everyone, and Nawaki, who neither knew how to make explosive tags and sealing scrolls nor how to make other "specialties," were kept out.

However, Aburame Shiki was used to it, and as for Nawaki, he heard that his sister was about to go on a mission, and he wouldn't be short of money without his sister by his side.

If all else fails, Rope Tree can always dig out and sell the blank scrolls that his grandparents, great-grandfather, and parents didn't use back then; there are plenty of ways.

Under the guidance of Tatsuma and Minato, the dozen or so little girls quickly reached a consensus and even completed the distribution of the cake. For example, Kushina could not maliciously dump her sealing scroll and had to leave opportunities for other classmates.

Tatsuma even led them through a comprehensive cost calculation, since they were still apprentices when it came to making explosive tags, sealing scrolls, dog food, cat food, and so on, and couldn't guarantee 100% success.

Therefore, when calculating costs, the success rate must also be taken into account. At the same time, their final price must be lower than that of similar products in ninja tool shops. Shikaku was a great help in this regard, as he was familiar with the market pricing of almost all ninja supplies.

Ultimately, a portion of the profit still needed to be reserved for Might Guy. Fortunately, they were all students from the Ninja Academy, and they could accept a minimum of breaking even. This allowed Tatsuma to set a competitive price that would ensure no one would lose money.

The next day, which was also the last day of summer vacation, after Chenma, on behalf of the students, handed over a sales contract and the first batch of goods to Mett Dai, Mett Dai cried out for youth all afternoon.
