"Business is not ideal, what should I do?"
Laying on the bed, Tetsuya sat cross-legged and looked at the profits from the past few days.
In the past, one day's income started from 2,000, but in these three days, I only made more than 3,000 in total.
The income is not even close to what I earned in a day at my peak.
"Sigh~! We have to find another way to make money, at least until the number of ninjas in Konoha increases. I'm afraid it will be difficult to increase the income."
If you don't think of ways to increase your income, it will affect your card drawing. If the frequency of your card drawing slows down, then the speed of becoming stronger will slow down.
The speed of getting stronger has slowed down. How is this acceptable? My current strength is not enough to dominate the ninja world.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that there is no other way to make money. I can't really take on missions by myself.
How can this be done? I'm not a ninja. I can't accept the mission even if I wanted to.
"Hey! Forget it, just spend it slowly. Anyway, what I fear the least is time."
Putting away the money and lying on the bed, Tetsuya still crossed his legs.
"Tsk, it still doesn't work. I can't just hang around like this. How about exploring other businesses?"
But besides making ramen, what else can I do?
Tetsuya also fell into deep thought, and while thinking, he fell asleep and took a trip to dreamland.
The next morning, Tetsuya got up early and went to the store. After all, at this time in the morning, many ninjas would choose to come to his store to eat ramen for breakfast.
"Hoo~! Boss, one bowl of tonkotsu ramen."
"Sakuya, long time no see, you are still alive!"
Seeing the familiar white hair, Tetsuya was a little surprised.
After all, the war was over, and he had seen most familiar ninjas in the village, except Sakuya.
Subconsciously, he thought that Sakuya had fallen on the battlefield.
Sakuya, who was already quite familiar with Tetsuya, smiled.
"Why, do you really hope that I won't come back?"
"How is that possible? I still expect you to come to my place to spend more money."
"A tonkotsu ramen, right? I'll be there soon."
"Hurry up, I really have been craving this bite from you for a long time. You don't know what kind of life I have lived before."
"Wait a moment, I'll hurry up."
Tetsuya said hello and walked into the kitchen to start working.
After a while, he walked out with a steaming bowl of tonkotsu ramen.
"The tonkotsu ramen you want, use it slowly. It's a scalding hot just out of the pot."
"It's okay, it's okay. I wouldn't be a ninja if I were worried about getting burned."
Sakuye didn't care at all about the temperature of the food when it came out of the pot, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Tetsuya also sat down and asked curiously.
"What's wrong with you? What have you been through? Looking at you, it's like you're the reincarnation of a starving ghost."
"Hey, don't bring up bad memories."
Sakuye waved his hand and took several more mouthfuls before answering.
"I went out to perform a mission. Although the war is over, border security cannot be relaxed at all. I went to patrol the border with my team.
You don't know that the conditions are horrible, either military food pills or all kinds of dry food stewed indiscriminately. "
"Are the conditions so difficult? Is there no game or anything like that? Depending on your ability, it should be easy to hunt a rabbit, catch a fish, etc."
"Hey, don't even bother. Even if it's caught, without seasoning, do you really think it would taste any better if it was baked directly?"
Listening to Sakuya's words, Tetsuya also smiled.
"You're right. Although the original barbecue has a different flavor, if you let me eat it like this often, I won't be able to swallow."
"Huh~!"
After taking a big sip of hot soup, Sakuya sighed.
"It would be really great if I could have a bite of the ramen you made while on a mission."
"Haha, you think so. It's impossible for you to ask me to deliver takeaways to you while you're on a mission."
"Hahaha, yes."
Sakuya took another mouthful of noodles.
"It's a pity that you are not a ninja. If you were a ninja, even if you were a Genin, I would find a way to get you to join my team."
"Then it's better to keep dreaming. I can't be a ninja."
"Hey, It's just a joke. With your skills, being a ninja is a waste."
After eating and drinking, Sakuya breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's so refreshing. It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious."
Tetsuya said as he cleared the table.
"You're back now, so you shouldn't go out in the near future. During this period of time when you're not on a mission, you can come and eat whenever you want."
"You're right. I have to come here several times to eat in the next few days, otherwise I won't be able to savor it when I go on a mission."
After Sakuya left, Tetsuya sat behind the counter and started thinking.
"Haishh, that's right, can't I study instant noodles? If I make instant noodles, cup noodles or something, wouldn't it be a huge hit?"
Although in the original work of Hokage, Naruto often eats cup noodles, those instant foods are not currently available in Konoha .
So can you tap into the market youself? Research cup instant ramen?
He felt that this would be very marketable, after all, the current ninjas did not eat well when they went out on missions.
If I really made cup noodles, maybe the sales would be beyond imagination.
Just do it, Tetsuya turned around and walked into the kitchen and started researching how to make instant noodles.
Apart from anything else, with the blessing of Ninjutsu, it is really not that difficult to make instant noodles.
However, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is how to make instant noodles that are convenient while still maintaining flavors close the original taste.
During the following period, Tetsuya always used his Shadow Clone to assist him in making ramen and to entertain guests.
He himself is holed up in the kitchen conducting research on cup noodles .
"Boss Chiba, I, Lord Jiraiya, am here to grace you with my presence again!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Tetsuya also stopped what he was doing.
Although most of his work is usually handled by his Shadow Clone, he will still choose to entertain some special people in person.
"Welcome, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen."
Coming out of the kitchen, Tetsuya saw someone who surprised him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the apprentice and guard of the Second Hokage, the future Third Hokage, and the teacher of the three Sannin.
Although nominally he is only the guard of Second Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi helps Tobirama with other things on weekdays, so his status in Konoha is also quite high.
Sarutobi Hiruzen greeted with a kind smile.
"Hello, Boss Chiba, I heard from Jiraiya and others that your ramen tastes quite good, so I came over. Hope it's not a bother."
"There is no such thing, the shop will be prideful for generations to come the moment Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen comes here to eat ."
He said this, but Tetsuya did have some other guesses in his heart.
Why is he here? Who is he here on behalf of? Tobirama?
Could it be that someone saw something? I shouldn't have exposed anything, right?
There is no problem with Chakra's seal, and there is no reason why Shadow Clone has too much contact with others.
Are you really just here to eat noodles?
