"Shinji didn't call to stop, and Naruto didn't know how much to input before it was considered finished."
Coupled with the words of mockery he heard at the shop entrance earlier, Naruto was determined to prove himself, so he continuously injected a large amount of chakra into it.
The others didn't find anything unusual about it.
A Genin kid who just graduated, probably needs to drain all the chakra in his body to meet the standard!
He's probably just forcing himself right now.
Many people were waiting to see a good show.
But the scene they were anticipating was destined not to happen.
Noticing Naruto's face turning red, Shinji immediately called to stop.
Even if he was going to fleece him, he couldn't do it too harshly at once. What if Naruto didn't come back next time!
"Did I succeed?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, here is your 200,000 Ryo."
"200,000 Ryo?! Isn't this kid Wind Release? It should be 100,000 Ryo." The person behind him immediately questioned.
"It's not just Wind Release, it's also Yang Release. That's why I'm settling the reward at 200,000 Ryo. Any problems?"
The others immediately fell silent.
They didn't know about other things, but they had confirmed two things in the past couple of days.
First, the black box had the ability to detect chakra properties, and it was extremely accurate. Even if you only had a tiny bit of a certain property, it could detect it.
Many people suspected that recycling chakra was just a guise, and the shop owner's true intention was to test the black box. Perhaps in the future, they wouldn't use test strips to test chakra properties, but this special instrument.
Second, as just confirmed, the shop owner was not to be trifled with. Not only was he rich, but he was also very powerful, so it was best not to provoke him.
"Sakura, I earned 200,000 Ryo, look!"
Naruto was so happy he almost jumped.
Sakura was both happy and depressed. Happy because Naruto had earned 200,000 Ryo for free, and she had contributed to it, plus Naruto had promised to share some with her.
Depressed because both Naruto and Ino could earn money on their own, while she could only watch helplessly.
So why was Water Release not accepted?
As if sensing Sakura's lingering regret, Shinji smiled. "Classmate, wouldn't you like to try?"
"I… I have Water Release chakra. Um, can I ask a question?"
Shinji, already knowing what she wanted to ask, nodded indifferently.
Sakura gathered her courage. "Why can others do it, but people with Water Release chakra cannot? Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"That's a good question. In fact, many people must have wanted to ask why, but for various reasons, they didn't voice it. Classmate, you are very courageous."
Suddenly hearing someone praise her, and a very handsome big brother at that, Sakura couldn't help but blush, her toes starting to shuffle on the ground.
"Since someone has asked, I'll be direct. I hope everyone listens carefully..."
Shinji's voice was not quiet, and many people perked up their ears, wanting to hear his explanation.
However, what Shinji said next left them utterly bewildered and unable to accept it.
"The so-called chakra recycling is nothing more than collecting experimental materials. The reason why Water Release chakra is not accepted is very simple: I already have a sufficient supply of materials on hand, so there's no need for me to spend money to purchase it."
"Furthermore, in the near future, the acquisition of the remaining chakra properties will also be gradually stopped until I have enough experimental materials."
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar erupted outside!
This reason was not surprising, but when they heard that other chakra properties would also stop being acquired soon, they became unwilling.
They had just started to taste the benefits, and he was stopping?
How could that be acceptable!
Listening to the noisy crowd outside demanding an explanation from Shinji, he also smiled.
"I know many of you consider me a fool who can be easily taken advantage of. What, still not satisfied?"
"You want an explanation? Fine!"
"My explanation is: once you enter here, you must follow my rules! You can only take what I give. You cannot snatch what I don't give! Understand?"
Silence fell instantly!
But soon, people began to leave one after another, their faces looking very displeased.
Humans are like this. A small favor can breed resentment.
As long as they get a taste of advantage, they want it forever. If you suddenly say you can't have it anymore, they'll be furious!
However, Shinji didn't care about those who left. Because the shop's reputation had already been established, there would always be people who couldn't resist temptation and would come to earn this quick money.
Secondly, if he didn't make things clear now, it would be more troublesome and passive when he stopped acquiring certain chakra properties later.
"Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Sakura didn't expect that a casual question from her would cause such a large chain reaction, and she became flustered.
"It's nothing. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have clarified these things sooner or later. If you feel embarrassed, just help me promote the shop more when you get back."
Sakura quickly nodded, then pulled the still grinning Naruto and hurried away.
After that, things seemed to return to normal. Several people successfully got their money and left.
However, it wasn't long before the Konoha Enforcement Team arrived.
The Konoha Enforcement Team was a temporary patrol unit formed after the dissolution of the Konoha Military Police Force. Their usual tasks were to patrol the Konoha village, strengthen and maintain order and security, and arrest villagers or ninjas with criminal tendencies.
In short, it was a continuation of the Konoha Military Police Force, but without its former authority.
"Who is the shop owner here?"
"It's him! It's this person who beat me up in public for no reason!"
Before Shinji could speak, he saw a man with a swollen face, missing teeth, and slurred speech, pointing at him excitedly.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the person you beat up and threw out earlier. Don't think you can get away with it!"
Shinji suddenly exclaimed upon hearing this. The other party immediately sneered, "See? You remember now!"
"No, I'm sorry, I don't know who you are at all."
This guy was so angry he almost vomited blood. You don't know who you are, so what are you talking about!
At this moment, a member of the Enforcement Team spoke. "We are the Konoha Enforcement Team. This person has just reported to us that this place is suspected of fraud and that he was severely beaten. We hope you will come back with us for an investigation."
"Interesting. However, your Konoha Enforcement Team doesn't have jurisdiction over me. It would be more appropriate if the Anbu came."
Arrogant!
This brat is too arrogant!
This was the consensus of everyone present.
The Enforcement Team members looked at him displeased, already preparing to take action.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared. "This matter is now under the jurisdiction of the Anbu. All irrelevant personnel, leave immediately."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The person who appeared was wearing an animal mask!
