“Brother, Mikoto replied that she just got her parents’ permission yesterday and will come to the store today.”
"Oh? It seems the one million taels of silver I gave her was quite useful."
Xiao Ai covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
“Of course it’s useful. According to Mikoto, her parents agreed immediately when they saw how much money it was.”
"Brother, when do you plan to send Mikoto to Hatsuhi Castle?"
Kiyoshi Gen gently rubbed the Aino in his arms, listening to her delicate voice as he spoke.
"It just so happens that a caravan is going back to Churi City the day after tomorrow. Let Mikoto go with the caravan."
"Speaking of which, what reason do you think I should give to make Madara accept Mikoto as his disciple?"
Kazesa sensed Kiyoi Gen's gaze.
"Just say that Mikoto is Ai's good friend and a member of the Uchiha clan. The teacher should be able to help."
Kiyoshi nodded.
"Then let Xiaohui and Izuna take charge."
"We can't force them, but we should try to create an atmosphere that makes them click."
"Hopefully, the identity of being an Uchiha will work."
Chapter 152 The Changing Leaf Village
The Konoha House's commercial base has been very successful economically.
Although many people don't like the name, it doesn't stop this place from being the busiest place in Konoha.
The Nara clan enjoys playing shogi (Japanese chess) at this beautifully furnished shogi hall, where they can enjoy tea and snacks while playing against other shogi players and even participate in the "Little Shogi King" tournament held by the shop.
The Akimichi clan loves the diverse and colorful food options that have sprung up in the shopping district. They often crowd around small eateries, forcing the owners to close them down by noon because they run out of ingredients.
The mountain tribe enjoys the cheerful atmosphere here, playing air gun shooting and trying out new arcade games in the game hall. Controlling ninjas with a joystick to play Musou is also a unique experience.
The Inuzuka family members like to come to this newly opened pet store to buy raw materials for dog food.
The Aburame clan has such a low profile that they've forgotten what they came here for.
In short, whether you're a ninja or an ordinary person, you can find happiness here.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, was laughing very happily.
Because Qingjingyuan said that the current commercial street is very successful, he will make a second investment to build some mini parks in the village to improve the happiness of residents.
I must say, he even took Sarutobi Biwako to the business district, and it was indeed quite nice, with lots of young and beautiful girls.
He never imagined the service industry had so many tricks up its sleeve; he ended up spending more money in one day than he had in the past month.
The money I've been hiding in my pocket can finally be used.
Unfortunately, as the Hokage, he couldn't frequently appear in such entertainment venues.
At this moment, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, consisting of Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Choza, who are only about fourteen years old, are strolling around the shopping street.
"Smack smack~"
When Shikaku looked at the tenth snack in Choza's hand, he couldn't help but ask.
"Ding, do you have enough money to buy so much food?"
"Oh, they're almost gone, but eating these is more important."
Upon hearing Choza's reply, Shikaku gave up trying to persuade him.
"Lu Jiu, it's so lively here."
Yamanaka Inoichi looked around with longing, and when he saw the residents drinking tea and chatting together outside the flower tea shop, he couldn't help but say something.
"I'd like to try opening a shop too, Lu Jiu. What kind of shop do you think would be good?"
"A flower shop, perhaps."
To avoid trouble, Lu Jiu gave a casual answer.
Because there was a flower shop right in front of them.
"If you want to open a shop, don't do it here."
"The competition is too fierce."
"Moreover, all the shop owners here are members of the Konoha Merchant Guild who are allowed to open their businesses here."
"Konoha Merchant Guild?"
While eating pickled chicken feet, Akimichi Choza asked.
"what."
Lu Jiu answered casually.
"You know that our clan raises deer and sells medicinal herbs, right?"
"The Konoha Chamber of Commerce is our biggest buyer."
"They are very generous and very united, unlike a chamber of commerce at all."
"When they first started recruiting local shop owners in Konoha, I thought they would try to take over the market through a squeeze."
"I never expected that they would be willing to train local shop owners in Konoha and teach them how to do business. As long as they join the Chamber of Commerce, they can enjoy these benefits for free."
"Isn't that great? They're all from Konoha."
No, that's not true!
Shikaku rested his head on his hand and sighed.
Although the Konoha Chamber of Commerce is named after Konoha and many of its members are locals from Konoha, it is actually a super-large chamber of commerce that is spread throughout the Land of Fire, and the relationships between its members are very complex.
The Chamber of Commerce's financial resources were beyond his wildest imagination.
I really don't know what Kiyoi Gen, the president of the Konoha Chamber of Commerce, is up to.
Although Konoha as a whole is developing in a better direction, he has a feeling that if things continue like this, something unexpected will happen once all the shops join the Konoha Chamber of Commerce.
But there's absolutely no reason to stop it.
The Nara clan were merely herbal medicine merchants, not commercial tycoons.
"Lu Jiu, don't look so gloomy."
Yamanaka Inoichi patted him on the shoulder.
"Just have fun here and don't overthink it."
Nara Shikaku sighed.
Hopefully, he's overthinking it.
Perhaps the chairman just wants to expand the chamber of commerce and make more money?
In the heart of the commercial district, a burly man with thick eyebrows, dressed in a green bodysuit, was excitedly embracing his equally thick-eyebrowed son.
"youth!!!"
Thank you so much!!!
Looking at the father and son hugging and crying in front of him, Kiyoshi Gen felt like he wanted to vent his frustration.
Sure enough, meeting in person felt like we were overdoing it with enthusiasm.
"As long as you deliver these to the designated people's homes as required, there will be no problem."
"Fifty taels of silver for each delivery, paid daily."
"Of course, these milks must not be damaged."
"No problem at all!"
"This is a test of youth!"
Matt Dai bowed deeply to Kiyoshi Gen.
"Thank you for your help."
Kiyoshi Gen didn't know what to say.
He simply approached Matt Day and told him he was going to offer him a milk delivery job.
The more you send each day, the more the other party earns.
Matt Day was naturally more than willing to agree.
He was a genin (low-ranking ninja) without teammates, and usually did D-rank missions because he couldn't get C-rank missions.
Coupled with his reputation as a perennial genin and his overly hot-blooded personality, he was often ostracized and received pitifully little reward for his missions.
Because of their poverty, he and his son lived in the desolate mountains outside Konoha, and all they had to wear was a green bodysuit.
With this opportunity, he can rely on his youth to have a stable income, so that he and his son can eat meat every day!
Even more so, if one burns enough youthful energy, one can buy medicinal herbs for one's son to soothe his muscles and bones and heal the hidden injuries from practicing physical arts.
We have to thank this kind boss for this.
It was a small matter for Kiyoshi Gen, but for Matt Dae, it was a life-changing opportunity.
It's like being helped out when you're at your lowest point.
He was, of course, very grateful to Kiyoshi Gen.
"I only thought of giving you a chance because I heard the rumors about you."
"Hardworking people shouldn't only have this kind of life."
Kiyoshi looked at little Might Guy, whose eyes were filled with tears, seemingly happy that his father had gotten this job.
"Dai, I will only give you a chance. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you."
"Hi!!!"
Might Guy stood up excitedly, his chakra exploding.
Feng Sha looked at this overly enthusiastic person, her eyes full of rejection.
