"We're here, this is it."
Sakura followed the address Ino gave her and found the destination for the day.
Naruto looked up. "Chakra Shop? What do they sell here? Why are there so many people?"
Sakura also noticed that the shop was doing very good business. There was already a line outside so early in the morning, and astonishingly, everyone in line was a ninja wearing a forehead protector. Not a single ordinary villager could be seen.
What does this imply?
It implies that what they sell inside is definitely not ordinary, and at least has nothing to do with ordinary people.
"Sakura, over here, quick, look at this..."
Naruto called Sakura over and then excitedly pointed at the notice board. "There's actually such a good deal? If it's true, I'll definitely make this shop owner go bankrupt today!"
Naruto began to rub his hands together, very confident in the amount of chakra he possessed.
Regarding this, Kakashi-sensei had even praised him.
As a result, the people queuing nearby burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Kid, it's good to be confident. But judging by your age, you must be a Genin who just graduated, right?"
"What's wrong with being a Genin?" Naruto retorted defiantly.
Seeing this, the person couldn't help but shake his head. "Nothing much. As long as you have enough chakra to meet the standard, you can go in. But usually, Genin who have just graduated, like you, find it difficult to meet the standard, let alone wanting to make the owner go bankrupt. Also, see below? Each person can only sell once a day."
"Even if you have too much chakra to sell it all, you still have to queue up honestly every day."
Naruto immediately deflated. "What the heck, why are there so many rules?"
"Come on, Naruto, let's go queue up too."
At this time, Sakura, who had already repeatedly confirmed the content of the notice board, ignored others and decisively pulled Naruto to join the queue.
Although it was stated that Water Release was not accepted, she, like Ino, had both Earth and Water properties.
However, Ino was primarily Earth with a bit of Water.
She was the opposite, primarily Water with a bit of Earth.
She wasn't sure if she could qualify, but since she was here, she couldn't give up without trying.
And she had a trump card!
Sakura smiled brightly and looked at Naruto. "Naruto, I remember your chakra property is Wind, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"Nothing~ I just wanted to discuss something with you."
Sakura put her arm around Naruto's neck and began to whisper.
Naruto's face turned as red as if he had been drinking, and he vaguely agreed without even hearing what Sakura said.
There were quite a few people in the queue, but the efficiency was high. Without waiting too long, Sakura and Naruto entered the shop.
"Sakura…"
"Shh, it sounds like there's an argument up ahead. Let's listen."
Bang!
A man at the very front of the queue slammed the table heavily. "I just want to ask what you mean? Are you looking down on us?"
Shinji chuckled. Although he still had a smile on his face, the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable.
"The notice outside is very clear: Water Release chakra is not accepted. You said you had Lightning Release, so I let you continue. But the test showed you have Water Release, and now you're trying to deny it, saying I took your chakra and didn't pay.
"I'll tell you one last time, since I dared to do this business, I'm not afraid of troublemakers. Get lost!"
The troublemaker's face turned ashen and then flushed. "Stop trying to fool me! I have both Lightning and Water Release properties, so what? I'm telling you, my chakra isn't taken for free. If you don't pay me today, you won't be able to open this shop!"
Shinji chuckled even more happily. He made a slight movement with his hand.
The people queuing inside didn't see what happened before they heard a loud bang. The troublemaker was already lying on the street, unconscious, half his face swollen like a steamed bun, and all his teeth knocked out.
"Sorry for the delay, everyone. Next!"
Shinji's voice immediately brought everyone back to reality.
Only then did they realize that the shop owner was actually a hidden master!
The unconscious person was known to many. Even among Chūnin, he was considered one of the more capable ones. In a few more years, he might have become a Special Jōnin.
But now? He didn't even see how the shop owner made his move before being instantly defeated!
The gap was so large it was terrifying.
He was at least a Jōnin, and not an ordinary Jōnin. As for anything higher, they didn't dare to think about it.
After all, with such strength, who would be bored enough to open a shop in this place?
Shinji looked at the queue outside, which had significantly shortened, knowing that although this action might cause trouble, it had successfully established his authority.
As a result, many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation voluntarily withdrew, saving him the trouble of dealing with them later.
"Hmm? Isn't this…"
Looking outside, Shinji suddenly noticed two little brats.
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced, not expecting Ino to be so helpful and lead these two to him.
He had originally thought that Shikamaru and Choji would be the ones to come today.
"Um, I think I'll wait for you outside."
Sakura said with an embarrassed expression.
A gust of wind had just blown past her ear, and she didn't know what had happened. Now, seeing the miserable state of the other person, she felt it was better not to take any chances.
Anyway, having Naruto was enough. Although it was less, she could still get some share.
"No, if you leave, what am I doing here? I'll go with you."
Naruto was sometimes endearingly foolish.
Sakura almost vomited blood but had no choice but to stay. At worst, she would just say she came to the wrong place and hoped she wouldn't get hit.
"Okay, let's go in together."
With the troublemaker gone, the few people in front quickly finished and left with their money.
Sakura looked. The whole process wasn't complicated. Just place your hand on the handprint on the black box on the table and input your chakra.
"Naruto, it's up to you!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Naruto confidently walked forward. "I'm Wind Release. I just need to put my hand on it, right?"
Without waiting for Shinji's reply, Naruto had already placed his hand on it.
After more than ten seconds passed, the smile on Shinji's face gradually turned perverted.
Because the progress bars for all seven chakra properties were moving.
The remaining two were Water Release, which was already full, and Yin Release.
And unlike Ino yesterday, Naruto's chakra amount was truly extraordinary. In such a short time, all of them had increased by 1%!
As a wicked capitalist, Shinji not only didn't call to stop but waited patiently for the bullets to fly a bit longer.
