Kekkei Genkai Ninja

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Stepping into Little Fat Cow Hotpot City, Karura was astonished by the dazzling lights and countless figures inside—a sight unseen in Sunagakure.

"This is actually an Entertainment City. Since Little Fat Cow Hotpot is the most famous and was the first to appear here, it was named Little Fat Cow Hotpot City. It includes countless forms of entertainment; food is just one of them. There are artificial hot springs, amusement parks, and more. If you're just here to relax and have fun, you can get everything you need right here."

Tamura Hiroshi said with a smile. In any world, the power of money was formidable, and with proper management, it could snowball and grow continuously. Of course, one had to exercise self-restraint in the process and not be too greedy. Just as a certain big shot from his past life had said, a truly successful businessman only takes limited profits, ensuring a steady, flowing stream like living water. Tamura Hiroshi kept this firmly in mind. Not only were employee benefits and treatment good, but the quality of all facilities, staff service, and especially the quality of the food were strictly controlled. This was his core competitive edge in the food and entertainment industry—something others couldn't imitate even if they tried.

Just then, a young girl in a uniform walked over and handed them a thick booklet, saying with a smile, "Sir, Miss, this booklet contains detailed explanations of all the entertainment projects in our city, along with illustrations. You can use it to learn everything about the Entertainment City. Service staff are stationed throughout the city; if you need anything, you can contact them, or seek help from any nearby ninja. Our Entertainment City has long-term mission orders posted at the Raikage Building. Ninjas in the village can accept requests for help from anyone here, and they'll be graded and compensated afterward based on what they do. Of course, this is free for guests. You can feel completely safe and at ease while enjoying yourselves in our Entertainment City. Have a great time."

She was a dedicated greeter, responsible for observing incoming guests at the main entrance. If she determined they were first-timers, she would step forward to hand them this booklet and provide guidance. Of course, she was just one of many greeters—the Entertainment City's foot traffic was enormous, with as many as eight entrances and exits alone.

"It's this thick!"

Even the aloof Pakura couldn't help but glance at the hefty booklet.

"And they have a system like this!"

Rasa was inwardly surprised. Though the girl's words were brief, they revealed quite a bit, and he could imagine just how terrifying the Entertainment City's money-making ability must be.

"So many ninja!"

Karura looked around and noticed many people wearing headbands. And this was just the first floor of the Entertainment City—she'd seen from outside that it had dozens of floors. How many people and ninja must that mean?

"Being a ninja is a high-stress profession. They need entertainment to unwind daily, so this place is very popular among the village's ninja."

Tamura Hiroshi remarked. The mental pressure on ninja was no joke—just look at future Hatake Kakashi, who had to numb himself with those novels.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat Little Fat Cow Hotpot. It might not be the best food in the Entertainment City, but it's definitely the most distinctive. Plus, there's a wide variety of ingredients, so everyone can find something to their taste. It's perfect for first-time visitors."

Beckoning the three forward, Tamura Hiroshi led the way to the Little Fat Cow Hotpot restaurant, which occupied the entire second floor. It was incredibly bustling, nearly packed to capacity, and was the most popular food spot in the Entertainment City, thanks to its excellent value for money. Little Fat Cow Hotpot was essentially a buffet hotpot, but the ingredients were of higher quality, especially in terms of freshness—there was never any leftover food from the previous day. Of course, any remaining ingredients weren't wasted either. They were usually allowed to be taken home by internal service staff at half price in limited quantities, and also sold at half price to ninja who raised summoning beasts. The daily surplus was strictly calculated, so there was never too much.

An hour later, Rasa, Pakura, and Karura were soaking in a mixed-gender hot spring, their stomachs slightly bulging. Of course, they were wrapped in bathrobes.

"The Raikage's Son was right—being friends with Lord Hiroshi is a joy!"

Enjoying the soothing warmth of the spring water, Karura was delighted with both the meal and the soak. There were still plenty of entertainment activities to look forward to afterward. She really wished she could build an Entertainment City like this back in her own village.

Rasa and Pakura were also satisfied and relaxed, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

"Life is only a few decades long—the most important thing is to be happy."

Tamura Hiroshi took a satisfying sip of juice. In truth, he didn't visit this Entertainment City often. First, because his mind was focused on training, and second, because it was too far from the apartment building where he lived. Besides, there was that snack street near his place where he usually ate.

"Are you all Kekkei Genkai or Secret Technique ninja?"

Tamura Hiroshi suddenly asked, making the three of them tense up. Ninja intelligence was a secret.

Tamura Hiroshi didn't mind their reaction and continued, "Being able to represent your village as an envoy to another ninja village requires at least Jonin status. But you're all quite young—to become Jonin at this age, your talent must be exceptional. Ordinary Ninjutsu wouldn't be enough; you'd have to be Kekkei Genkai or Secret Technique ninja."

To be honest, becoming a Jonin in one's teens was rare—they were all true geniuses. Someone like Kakashi, who became a Jonin at twelve, was a genius among geniuses. If not for the Sharingan holding him back and his mental collapse, his future achievements would have been considerable—at least surpassing his father wouldn't have been a problem. Rasa, Pakura, and Karura were also geniuses. Rasa, in particular, would one day be able to suppress the One-Tail on his own—a genuine Kage-level Expert.

This explanation made the three realize that their information hadn't been leaked; he had simply guessed it.

"I'm a Secret Technique ninja!"

Karura admitted openly but didn't elaborate. She specialized in the Sand Manipulation Secret Technique pioneered by the Second Kazekage, using Chakra to refine sand for combat control. Though it fell far short of the Third Kazekage's and Rasa's Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai in scale and range, it excelled in fine control.

"I'm a Kekkei Genkai ninja!"

Rasa and Pakura also admitted to being Kekkei Genkai ninja. Since the other party had already guessed to this extent, there was naturally no need to keep hiding it.

Of course, they wouldn't disclose any other information either.

"I really envy you Kekkei Genkai ninja."

Tamura Hiroshi sighed, genuinely envious of this.

The lower limit of a Kekkei Genkai ninja's talent was far higher than that of a non-Kekkei Genkai ninja, enough to even form powerful ninja clans.

In the ninja world, Kekkei Genkai ninja were the highest tier, followed by Secret Technique ninja, and then ordinary ninja who cultivated standard Ninjutsu.

Pure Ninjutsu was far too disadvantaged against Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques. Look at the Third Hokage—he possessed chakra affinity for all five elements and had mastered numerous techniques, yet his strength among the Five Great Ninja Villages' Kage was merely average, just mid-tier.

And among Kekkei Genkai ninja, the Otsutsuki Bloodline was the highest tier, with both a high lower limit and upper limit, far beyond what ordinary ninja could compare to.

A nobody like himself, who had nothing, could only look up in awe. Surpassing them would be difficult—even now, he had little idea how.

This envy was clear to all three of them, and they couldn't help but recall what the Raikage's Son had said—this man's ninja talent might really be quite ordinary.
