Kekkei Genkai Ninja

"Wow, it's so lively!"

When they entered Little Fat Cow Hotpot, Karura was astonished by the brilliantly lit walls and countless figures inside. There was nothing like this in Sunagakure.

"This is actually an Entertainment City. Since Little Fat Cow Hotpot is the most famous attraction, and it was the first one to appear, the place was named Little Fat Cow Hotpot.

It contains countless forms of entertainment. Food is only one of them—there are also artificial hot springs, amusement parks, and so on.

If you're just here to relax and have fun, you can find everything you need here."

Tamura Hiroshi said this with a smile. In any world, the power of money was formidable. Furthermore, as long as it was managed properly, it could continue growing like a snowball rolling downhill.

Of course, throughout the process, one had to exercise self-restraint and avoid becoming too greedy.

As a big shot from his previous life had once said, a truly successful businessman only took a limited profit. That way, the business could keep flowing endlessly like living water.

Tamura Hiroshi kept this firmly in mind. Not only were the employee benefits generous, but the quality of every facility and the service provided by the staff were strictly controlled. The quality of the food was especially important.

This was also his core competitive advantage in the food and entertainment industry—something others couldn't imitate even if they wanted to.

Just then, a young woman in uniform walked over and handed them a thick booklet. With a smile, she said, "Sir, ma'am, this booklet contains detailed information and illustrations of every entertainment program in our Entertainment City. You can use it to learn about everything here.

"There are service staff stationed throughout our Entertainment City. If you need anything, you can contact them. You can also ask any of the nearby ninjas for help. We have posted long-term mission orders at the Raikage Building. The ninjas in the village can accept requests from anyone here, and they'll be paid afterward according to the difficulty of the task.

"Of course, all of this is free for our guests. You can relax and enjoy yourselves here without worry. We hope you have a wonderful time."

She was a professional greeter whose job was to observe guests entering through the gates. Once she confirmed that someone was visiting for the first time, she would come over with a booklet like this to explain and guide them.

Of course, she was only one of the greeters. The Entertainment City saw far too many visitors, and there were as many as eight entrances and exits alone.

"It's so thick!"

Even the aloof Pakura couldn't help glancing sideways at the thick booklet.

"They even have a system like this?"

Rasa was secretly astonished. Although the woman's explanation had been brief, it had revealed a great deal of information. One could imagine how terrifying this Entertainment City's ability to generate revenue would be.

"So many ninjas!"

Karura looked around and only then noticed that many people were wearing forehead protectors. This was merely the first floor. She had seen outside that the Entertainment City had dozens of floors. Just how many people and ninjas were there in total?

"Being a ninja was a profession that caused tremendous mental stress, so they needed entertainment to relax every day. That was why the ninjas in the village liked this place so much."

Tamura Hiroshi said this casually. The mental pressure on ninjas was truly immense. One only had to look at Hatake Kakashi in the future to know that—even he had to rely on those novels to numb himself.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat Little Fat Cow Hotpot. Although it isn't the best-tasting food in the Entertainment City, it's definitely the most distinctive. There are countless varieties of ingredients, so everyone can find something suited to their tastes. It's the best choice for first-time visitors."

He beckoned the three of them forward and led them to the Little Fat Cow Hotpot restaurant. It occupied the entire second floor and was incredibly popular, practically packed to capacity. It was the most popular part of the Entertainment City's food section, mainly because it offered the best value for money.

Little Fat Cow Hotpot was actually an all-you-can-eat hotpot restaurant, though the ingredients were of better quality—especially in terms of freshness. There was absolutely no food left over until the next day.

Of course, the ingredients left over each day weren't wasted either. Usually, the internal service staff were allowed to pack up a limited amount at half price and take it home. Some of it was also sold at half price to ninjas who raised ninja beasts. Besides, the leftovers were strictly calculated each day, so there was never too much.

An hour later, Rasa, Pakura, and Karura were soaking in a mixed-gender hot spring with their slightly swollen bellies.

Of course, they were wrapped in yukata.

"Raikage's Son really wasn't wrong. Being friends with Lord Hiroshi is truly a lot of fun!"

Karura was very happy after eating so much, and she was just as happy soaking in the hot spring. There were still plenty of other entertainment programs to enjoy afterward.

She really wanted to build an Entertainment City like this in her own village.

Rasa and Pakura were also very satisfied and relaxed. It was rare for them to unwind like this.

"Life only lasts a few short decades. The most important thing is to be happy."

Tamura Hiroshi took a leisurely sip of juice.

Actually, he didn't visit the Entertainment City often. One reason was that he devoted most of his attention to cultivation. Another was that it was too far from the apartment building where he lived. There was already a snack street near his home, so he usually ate there.

"Are all of you Kekkei Genkai Ninjas or Secret Technique Ninjas?"

Tamura Hiroshi suddenly asked, causing the three of them to narrow their eyes.

A ninja's intelligence was supposed to be a secret.

Tamura Hiroshi didn't pay any attention to their reactions and continued, "Only elite ninjas are qualified to represent their villages on missions to other ninja villages. Yet all of you are quite young. Anyone who can become an elite ninja at your age must have extraordinary talent.

"Ordinary ninjutsu wouldn't be enough. You must be either Kekkei Genkai Ninjas or Secret Technique Ninjas."

To be honest, it was extremely rare for someone to become an elite ninja in their teens. Anyone who could do so was a true genius.

Someone like Kakashi, who became an elite ninja at the age of twelve, was a genius among geniuses. If not for the burden of the Sharingan and his shattered state of mind, his future achievements would have been extraordinary. At the very least, surpassing his father wouldn't have been difficult.

Rasa, Pakura, and Karura were undoubtedly geniuses as well. Rasa in particular would one day be capable of suppressing the One-Tail by himself. He was a genuine Kage-level Expert.

His explanation made the three of them understand. It seemed that their information hadn't been leaked; he had simply guessed correctly.

"I'm a Secret Technique Ninja!"

Karura admitted it frankly, but didn't elaborate.

She specialized in the Sand Manipulation Secret Technique created by the Second Kazekage. It allowed her to refine sand with chakra and control it in battle. Although its scale and range were far inferior to the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai of the Third and Rasa, it was even superior in terms of precise control.

"I'm a Kekkei Genkai Ninja!"

Rasa and Pakura also admitted that they were Kekkei Genkai Ninjas. Since he had already guessed this much, there was naturally no need to keep hiding it.

Of course, they had no intention of revealing any other information.

"I'm truly envious of you Kekkei Genkai Ninjas."

Tamura Hiroshi sighed. He was genuinely envious of them.

The lower limit of a Kekkei Genkai Ninja's talent was much higher than that of an ordinary ninja. They could even form powerful Ninja Clans.

In the Ninja World, Kekkei Genkai Ninjas stood at the highest level, followed by Secret Technique Ninjas. Only after them came the ninjas who practiced ordinary elemental ninjutsu.

Ordinary elemental ninjutsu was at far too great a disadvantage against Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques. Take the Third, for example. He possessed chakra affinities for every element and had mastered countless ninjutsu, yet among the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, his strength wasn't considered outstanding. At best, he was middle-tier.

Among Kekkei Genkai Ninjas, the Otsutsuki Bloodline stood at the very top. Its lower and upper limits were both extremely high, far beyond what ordinary ninjas could compare to.

As for a weakling like himself, who had nothing, he could only look up to them. Surpassing them would be difficult, and even now he had no clear idea how to do so.

The three of them could all see his envy. They couldn't help recalling what Raikage's Son had said. This man's talent as a ninja might truly be quite ordinary.
