"What blood type are you guests… Pfft! What chakra properties do you have?"
Shinji greeted them enthusiastically.
The few people looked at each other, murmuring in their hearts.
At this moment, Tsuchida Hisao asked as their representative, "Are there different prices for these? We decided to come in and take a look after seeing the notice at the entrance."
"Oh, that's right. Our shop buys chakra at a high price. Wind, Fire, Earth, and Lightning properties are 100,000 Ryo each time. Water Release is not accepted. Yin and Yang properties are 200,000 Ryo each time. Payment is made in person, no delays."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tsuchida Hisao and the other two were immediately tempted!
They worked hard to complete an A-rank mission, and each person only received 100,000 Ryo in the end.
But selling chakra once at this shop could easily earn them 100,000 Ryo. If it were you, which would you choose?
Their only concern now was whether this matter was reliable, as recycling chakra was truly an unprecedented and strange event!
"Um, we'd like to know, how does this chakra recycling work? What do we need to do? Will it cause any harm to the body?"
Shinji immediately led them to the black box on the table and explained, "Do you see the handprint on the box? Just place your hand on it and input chakra into it. It's a foolproof operation; even a ninja academy student can do it."
"As for your concerns, they simply don't exist! If there are any problems with your body, you can come to me anytime. The Hokage Building is right over there. I wouldn't lie to you if I had a death wish."
Tsuchida Hisao and the other two heard this and thought it made sense, but they were still hesitant about the unknown.
Seeing the three of them looking at each other, tempted yet conflicted, Shinji decided to add a little more fuel to the fire.
"How about this? Today is our shop's grand opening. The reward for the first customer will be doubled, meaning 200,000 Ryo per transaction. However, in return, we'll need the customer to help us with some publicity, is that okay?"
Whoa, a super double reward just like that?!
"I'll do it!"
Tsuchida Hisao, before his companions, immediately placed his hand on the box.
"I'm sorry, but the chance for a double reward only comes once."
The other two felt a bit regretful, but they wouldn't turn against each other for 100,000 Ryo. They nervously watched from the side.
The chakra input speed was extremely fast. In less than a minute, Shinji called out to stop.
"Guest, you have Fire Release chakra. Here is 200,000 Ryo. Please check it carefully and keep it safe. Next!"
Tsuchida Hisao felt his remaining chakra; it was about half. He earned 200,000 Ryo for this? It was too easy to earn money!
After his two companions had also sold their chakra and received 100,000 Ryo each, he was still in a daze.
"Hisao, let's go. What are you spacing out for!"
"Hahaha, we really made a fortune today. But Hisao, you got 200,000 Ryo, so you have to treat us, right?"
Tsuchida Hisao snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Of course! Today, I'm paying. We won't go home until we're drunk!"
The experience just now was too dreamlike, so much so that their feet were still floating as they left.
Meanwhile, Shinji had a satisfied smile on his face.
The black box actually contained a modification scroll, meant to avoid suspicion.
The handprint indentation on it was designed to allow people to touch the item inside, thus enabling the smooth 'recycling' of chakra.
As for when he called to stop, it was adjusted according to a progress bar, trying to control it at around 1% each time.
This way, it would take about a hundred transactions to fill up one chakra property.
He did this to build a reputation and create a buzz. Otherwise, he feared that by the time he collected the other chakra properties, there would still be no progress on Yin and Yang.
As long as enough people came to sell him chakra, he didn't believe those who mastered the secret techniques of Yin and Yang chakra nature transformations wouldn't be tempted.
"Excuse me… is what's written on the sign outside true?"
"Of course, 100% true. What chakra properties do you have, guest?"
"Wind Release."
"Please come in, please come in quickly."
Shinji's smile became even more perverted.
...
It was as if overnight, a place called "Chakra Shop" suddenly became popular.
The reason was naturally that customers who had already tasted the benefits, upon discovering such a great place to get a bargain, quickly shared it with their companions, classmates, and even teachers.
Even if some people had dark intentions and didn't want others to share, it was useless.
Because as long as one-tenth of the people were willing to spread the word, it would quickly become known to everyone.
Thus, Shinji found himself suddenly busy.
"What property?"
"Fire."
"Here is your 100,000 Ryo. Next!"
"No need to ask, I'm also Fire Release."
"…Okay."
"Here is your 100,000 Ryo. Next!"
"Um, I feel like I still have a lot of chakra left. Can I sell it again?"
"Sorry, for fairness, each person can only sell chakra once a day. This is also for everyone's safety. After all, if you encounter any unexpected situation and find yourself without chakra, and then get killed by an enemy, how frustrating would that be?"
This reason was very convincing and received the approval of many people.
Some people who wanted to get more benefits, seeing this, had no choice but to give up on that idea and obediently queue up, planning to come every day and wear down the shop.
You say only once a day, but I can come every day.
Shinji couldn't prevent this, nor did he care. He only wanted chakra, and it didn't matter if it came from a hundred people or ten people.
He wasn't really here to give the Konoha ninjas benefits.
However, as the number of customers increased, Shinji began to have a headache because he found that most of the people who came were Fire Release, which was similar to the concept of Mist Hidden ninjas mostly being Water Release.
But it wasn't that there were no other chakra properties; it would just take time.
"What property?"
"Earth."
"Okay, place your hand here."
"Mm."
Shinji was very busy and didn't pay attention to who the customer was at first. However, the progress bar on the modification scroll suddenly caught his attention.
"Why are Yin and Yang increasing besides Earth?"
Shinji was stunned and quickly looked at the young girl in front of him. She looked somewhat familiar…
"Are you from the Yamanaka clan?"
"Eh? How did you know?"
"Oh, I know someone named Yamanaka Fu. We went on a mission together."
"You're Uncle Fu's friend? My name is Ino, Yamanaka Ino."
As expected…
"Alright, that's enough."
Seeing that she was already swaying precariously, Shinji quickly called out to stop.
Although the quantity wasn't enough, the quality was high.
Ino possessed Earth, Yin, and Yang properties simultaneously. Oh, right, and Water.
However, Water was already full, so it would light up when input, but wouldn't show an increase.
