Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 72 Money

Looking at the three shadow clones with different hair colors, Toshiro began to consider adjusting his training plan.

As for Fire Release, after three years of training in Nature Transformation, its power is already considerable. Continuing to enhance Nature Transformation would increase the chakra consumption for casting techniques, which would be detrimental to his current situation.

At the moment, I'm still just a child, and although I managed to sustain the energy for three shadow clones, I should still try to conserve energy in future battles.

We cannot only consider burst power; endurance is also an important criterion for combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, relying too much on Fire Release is also detrimental to oneself. It makes one too easily countered by enemies; it's time to develop a second nature transformation.

After much consideration, he has also made a decision regarding the change in the nature of the second attribute.

Originally, his current fire attribute training, combined with the wind attribute, would have allowed them to work together better.

However, he still felt that choosing the lightning attribute as the second attribute was a safer bet.

First, let's look at the order of battle in the Third Shinobi World War. First came Wind, then Earth, followed by Lightning and Water. Also, one characteristic of Lightning Release is its advantage in terms of speed.

As for Wind Release, while there's the ninjutsu "Wind Release: Rasengan" as a reference, the risk of using this technique is far too great. Without Naruto's level of recovery, it's best not to even consider it.

As for Yin Release, it can be left to the illusionary clone, since he originally practiced illusionary arts and there is a certain commonality between them. With this scroll, the progress of Yang Release should be accelerated.

Speaking of Yang Release, one cannot help but admire his Uchiha bloodline. Although he successfully condensed Yang Release chakra and could perform medical ninjutsu smoothly, the effects were never quite satisfactory.

On the contrary, in the area of ​​illusion magic related to mental power, one can make rapid progress in cultivation.

It seems that the Yang Release attribute doesn't suit me well!

[But precisely because of this, we need to increase investment in this area in the future!]

As for the rest, there's no need to make any further adjustments. My main body will continue to follow Teacher Shigemasa on missions. As for cultivation, the focus will remain on physical training and practical combat.

After arranging his future training plans, Toshiro didn't rest and went straight to his parents' room.

He took out a relatively expensive wooden box from a cabinet in the room and took out the savings book inside to look at it.

Ninja training is really expensive!

[Thinking back to when I first learned about this inheritance, I thought that with six or seven million taels, I could rest easy from then on. How naive I was.]

When he first learned about the inheritance, Toshiro was quite confident that he could easily support himself until he graduated from school.

However, reality cruelly slapped them in the face.

The medicinal baths, which took three years to complete, cost nearly 300 million taels of silver, even with substantial subsidies from the family.

As for the usual consumption of ninja tools, equipment, and items such as plasters and medicinal wines, these consumptions are not considered large.

The real drain on resources is actually on food, which was not given much attention before.

Take the beef I bought at the grocery store last time as an example. 20 catties of beef cost nearly 3,000 taels in total, which averages out to about 150 taels per catty.

And those 20 jin of beef only lasted for two days. On average, each meal consumed more than three jin of beef.

This doesn't even include other vegetables, rice, bread, fruits, etc.

There was no other way; in order to support the chakra consumption of the three shadow clones, he had to increase his food intake.

Otherwise, the consequences would be quite severe. Without ample nutrition, producing large amounts of chakra would involve directly extracting the nutrients already present within the body to generate chakra. This would create a significant obstacle to the individual's growth and development.

He also underwent extensive physical training in areas such as strength, speed, and endurance. This, in turn, increased his body's need for nutrients.

Three years have passed. The original six or seven million taels left by the parents have been almost entirely spent. Now, only about three hundred thousand taels remain, along with a savings account containing nearly one million taels that has not been touched.

Since his birth, neither his mother nor the expenses over the years have ever been deducted from this savings account.

After my father's sacrifice, the support payments I received, along with the monthly support payments I've received over the years, totaled nearly one million taels of silver.

However, he didn't plan to touch the money inside, in order to prepare for the Third Shinobi World War. No matter where you are, war always costs money, and it's not just a small amount.

Take, for example, a shuriken costs 200 taels, a kunai costs 800 taels, and an explosive tag costs 1,500 taels.

To put it simply, you can throw four shuriken at the same time with each hand, and a single attack of eight shuriken would cost 1,600 taels.

If the shuriken were replaced with a kunai, at the current price of 800 taels each, that would cost 6,400 taels in one go.

If you add detonating tags, the number will be even more outrageous.

Although the village would replenish its supplies, based on his experience from his previous life, the replenishment would never keep up with the consumption.

And these are current prices. In times of war, the prices of these combat-related supplies would inevitably inflate.

If he doesn't make adequate preparations beforehand, he may very well face a predicament on the battlefield in the future, such as a lack of weapons, medicine, or explosive tags at crucial moments.

If one were to lose their life because of this, it would be an utterly ridiculous farce. The transmigrator would lose all face.

No matter what world you're in, or what your status or position, making money is always the top priority!

Now that I'm a member of the garrison force, and considered a formally employed officer, I wonder if I receive any stipends or subsidies?

Thinking back to my past life, I remember how I spent countless hours in the library, tirelessly studying materials and exam papers, preparing relentlessly, all to try and get into the system. In the end, I still failed, much to my dismay.

Upon arriving here, I obtained a permanent position with ease and without any effort. However, the negative consequences of this position are a bit of a headache.

[Hmm, I'll ask Professor Chongzheng about it properly tomorrow!]

[There are still missions to complete. I wonder what the rewards are like for the low-level missions that genin take on?]

[We can't just focus on ninjas. Speaking of which, should I copy a few best-selling books and publish them? Remember Jiraiya? He made a fortune in royalties!]
