Chapter 2 The Business Empire Plan
Tetsuya sorted through the memories in his mind. Hashirama Senju had already abdicated, and the current Hokage was the Second Hokage, Tobirama.
Not long ago, Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared and attacked the village, which led to the Battle of the Valley of the End. Hashirama Senju defeated Madara Uchiha and successfully brought back the Nine-Tails.
His wife, Mito Uzumaki (no, she should be called Mito Senju), also became Konoha's first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
At the same time, the ninja world began to stir with turmoil, and the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder.
However, none of this had anything to do with Zhe, since he wasn't a ninja. Even if a war broke out, it would be a ninja's battlefield, and it wouldn't concern him, a commoner.
"Is this the original owner's home?"
In a somewhat dilapidated house on the streets of Konoha, Tetsuya rubbed his face.
Good heavens, it really is junk.
There was no other way; when Madara Uchiha attacked Konoha with the Nine-Tails, the commotion was too great, and his sole purpose was to destroy Konoha.
Although his house was some distance from the battlefield, the fighting between ninjas of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's caliber was incredibly loud.
The entire street was affected.
However, it was indeed Hashirama Senju who was truly benevolent. He had his ninjas investigate the disaster situation in various parts of Konoha and formulate a compensation plan.
In his words, the villagers of Konoha all followed him here.
Now that everyone is suffering because of him and his team, even though he is no longer the Hokage, he must make amends.
"Are you Tetsuya Chiba?"
A voice rang out, and Tetsuya turned around to see a white-haired ninja wearing a Konoha headband leading a team to the door.
Zhe didn't close the door, and the other person standing at the door saw him sitting in the room in a daze.
"Hello, Ninja Master, it's me."
Upon seeing the white-haired ninja, Tetsuya's first thought was, "Is this guy Hatake Sakumo?" Even if not, he should still be a ninja from the Hatake clan.
"Take this. It's compensation promised by the First Hokage. It's not much, but it's enough for you to rebuild your house and live a good life."
Tetsuya accepted the thick wad of banknotes.
"Thank you so much."
"No need to thank me, thank the First Hokage instead."
"Yes, thank you so much, Lord Hokage!"
Tetsuya thanked him again, and it came from the bottom of his heart.
I just glanced at it, and it's at least five thousand taels of silver.
This amount of money may not seem like much, but we are still in the early days of Konoha's founding, and prices haven't gone up yet.
It's important to know that during Naruto's time, a bowl of ramen cost around 60 or 70 taels, while Naruto and his friends, as D-rank characters, only earned between 5,000 and 50,000 taels, with the village and their instructors taking a cut.
In his original body's memories, the price of a bowl of noodles was around thirty taels, which is now half the original price.
Therefore, in his view, five thousand taels was indeed quite valuable.
After all, although the house is a bit dilapidated, it's not uninhabitable. Cleaning and repairing it, and replacing some furniture won't cost much.
The remaining money can be used as start-up capital for opening a shop!
Although he could also directly recharge the 50,000 into 50,000 points, that way he could draw from even the most expensive prize pool twice, and with those two draws, he should be able to get some awesome stuff.
However, he does not intend to do that.
Even if you have power, what good will it do? Go rob money? Or risk your life like those ninjas by taking on missions?
He didn't like this kind of life. Compared to living a life of constant danger, running a small business was much better.
Besides, he didn't think he would be invincible just by drawing from the highest-level prize pool twice.
The fighting power in this ninja world is outrageous! There are all sorts of Gundams, meteorites, undead, and aliens.
Even if someone is immortal, they still have ways to get rid of you; if you can't die, they'll just seal you away.
Moreover, there's also the old black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths who isn't quite dead yet. If I dare to act arrogantly outside today, I might not even know how I died later.
"I'd better just open a shop honestly. I have the skills and the start-up capital. I'm sure I'll be able to build my own business empire in the future!"
Tetsuya began preparing for his store opening plan with great confidence.
He first went to the commercial district, took over a shop that had been damaged in the fighting, and renovated it.
Actually, we just patched up the missing parts and added some tables, chairs, benches, and tableware.
Next came purchasing ingredients and starting to try making ramen.
In the kitchen, Tetsuya began kneading dough.
Although he had never cooked before his transmigration, it did not prevent him from mastering the complete Ichiraku Ramen technique.
Kneading dough, pulling noodles, chopping vegetables, making soup, cooking noodles.
He performed a series of simple operations with effortless grace, as if he were born to do this job.
"Phew! It's done."
Wiping the sweat from my forehead and looking at the steaming noodles in the pot, I had to admit I felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
"It smells pretty good, let's try it."
This first bowl of noodles was naturally for me to try first.
"Yes, it's great. The soup is delicious and leaves a lasting impression. The noodles are soft yet chewy, and they've absorbed all the flavor of the broth. It's really fantastic."
Tetsuya couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up; this taste was truly amazing.
"Great, then let's open the shop. A wonderful life awaits me."
The next afternoon, the sign for Chiba Ramen was put up.
To attract customers, he put up a poster that said, "New store opening, new customers get 20% off their first purchase, and the second item is half price if two people buy together."
There's nothing else to it. Although Tetsuya never did business in his previous life, he's seen a lot of tricks and schemes.
Seeing the newly opened ramen shop and its attractive promotions, many people brought their friends and family to come in groups. After all, who wouldn't want to take advantage of a deal where the second item is half price when two people go together?
The business was booming on the first day of opening, after all, Ichiraku Ramen's taste is no joke.
Looking at the small shop filled with customers, Tetsuya's hands were practically sparking from kneading the dough.
"Whew! Congratulations on the grand opening! May your business be booming and your profits be enormous!"
At night, sitting on his bed, Tetsuya counted his earnings with his slightly swollen hands.
In just one day, he sold more than a hundred servings of ramen and earned more than three thousand yuan.
It was truly a great success, considering that I only spent a little over a thousand taels of silver to take over the shop, which was about two thousand taels, including other expenses and the cost of purchasing ingredients.
I earned back the money I spent in about a day, and starting tomorrow it will be pure income.
“Sha.”
Once the excitement subsided, Tetsuya gasped as he felt his hands ache and swell.
Goodness, making ramen really is hard work.
If business were even better, I might not be able to keep up with the workload.
Do we have to hire more people then?
Suddenly, Tetsuya had a flash of inspiration.
"That's it! We can use clones! Although clones shatter at the slightest touch, I don't go to the battlefield anyway. Letting clones knead the dough would be perfect!"
Thinking about this, Tetsuya felt that he was simply a genius. Why bother hiring anyone? He could just do it himself.
However, all of this is predicated on refining one's own chakra and learning the Shadow Clone Technique.
But what's so difficult about that? Nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it.
"Let's do it!"
Instead of sleeping that night, Tetsuya sat on the bed and began to refine his chakra.
