Kakuzu couldn't help but click his tongue when he looked at Rain Shadow Hat. As a person from Small Shinobi Village Takigakure, he knew very well what the leaders of Small Shinobi Village wanted most.
It is nothing more than catching up in the footsteps of the predecessors and becoming an existence on an equal footing with Five Kage.
What's more, Hanzo of the Salamander among Second Shinobi World War drove many Shinobi Village forces out of his territory, and also fought with the strongest Konoha competed in a showdown. Although from the overall situation, Amegakure lost, he, Hanzo of the Salamander, defeated the three disciples of Hokage alone.
If he hadn't been chopped down by Boss Izuna in the end, I'm afraid his tail would have been raised to the sky by this time.
And what does Hanzo of the Salamander need most now? That is of course the recognition of others.
The boss sent a Rain Shadow Hat at this time, which is equivalent to recognizing his Hanzo of the Salamander's performance in this war and thinking that he can compare with the Five Kage.
Such recognition is undoubtedly a ray of light for him in a life that has been shrouded in gloom.
"I know the boss, I will hand this thing to Hanzo of the Salamander at the right time, and then introduce the boss to him."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It should."
Kakuzu left in a hurry, just as he came in a hurry. After all, he really hoped that he could become Finance Minister of Land of Rain as soon as possible.
Watching Kakuzu leave, Tetsuya stretched out.
"I don't know how my lovely disciples are doing with their business."
Capital City of the Land of Fire, Chiba Grand Hotel.
Nagato, Konan and Yahiko are sitting together.
"How are your profits these days?"
Yahiko asked anxiously.
There was no way, Tetsuya gave that the seventh day time limit was coming soon, but obviously he didn't make much money.
Nagato spread his hands.
"I barely made my money back. I did some math before I came back and found that I didn't make a profit or lose anything. If I could sell the goods I squeezed, I should be able to make a profit of 15%."
"One and a half percent. You don't even have enough. I'm counting on you to support me."
Yahiko has a crying face.
"How much did you earn?"
Seeing Yahiko's crying expression, Nagato asked.
"Profit? I lost a lot of principal."
Yahiko took out the money he had, only 80% of the principal was left, and he lost 20%.
"Konan How much did you earn?"
The two looked at their last hope.
"I'm okay, I just completed the task assigned by the teacher."
As he said this, Konan took out two wads of banknotes, one containing the principal and the other containing the earned money.
Yahiko suddenly saw hope.
"Konan, can you tell us how you did it."
"The teacher said that an excellent Merchant needs to learn to use limited costs to earn unlimited profits.
I couldn't make enough profit, so I chose to reduce costs."
As she spoke, Konan raised her hands, and a large number of Paper Cranes, Paper Butterfly, paper roses and other origami artworks flew out from her sleeves.
There are various shapes, and the colorful ones are really beautiful.
"When I first came to Capital City, I went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of the cheapest colored papers. The price was wholesale, so the cost was extremely low.
I used Ninjutsu to make these works, so the production efficiency is extremely high. In this way, I produced a batch of beautiful origami artworks at a very low price and with high efficiency and sold them to those big sisters who like origami."
Nagato and Yahiko's eyes widened when they saw this scene.
"Can it still be like this?"
"Okay, that's awesome. I also want to learn Paper Release, Konan. Can you teach me?"
Konan shook his head.
"Learning Paper Release is not that easy. Even if I teach you now, it's too late. What's more, there are only two days left in the time specified by the teacher."
Yahiko lowered his head in frustration.
"Am I going to have to fail this assessment?"
"Don't be sad Yahiko, there is still time and we will find a solution."
"Yahiko, what are you selling, and you lost so much?"
"I sell flowers. On the way to Capital City, I passed by the house of an old lady who grows flowers. The old lady has limited legs and feet, so she sells flowers on the way into the city. How much can I get? So I go to the old lady's house every day to buy goods and sell them to Capital City."
Saying Yahiko sighed.
"But the loss of flowers on the road is really big, and I think it's not easy for grandma, so the purchase price is a bit..."
Before Yahiko finished speaking, both masters Nagato and Konan already understood the meaning of Yahiko.
Nagato couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Yahiko, you are really not suitable to be a Merchant."
After hearing the comment from his friend, Yahiko lowered his head and said nothing.
"But as of now, it's not completely impossible."
"Really? Nagato, what else can you do?"
Yahiko raised his head and looked at Nagato in surprise.
Nagato nodded.
"Yes, but next we need to unite and cooperate, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"No problem!"
"Okay, then let's do this next."
The three little heads got together and began to plot.
Time flies, and soon the seven days specified by Tetsuya are over.
Tetsuya got up and returned to Chiba Grand Hotel from Chiba Estate.
Among Tea House, Nagato stood there respectfully.
"Hey, you three seem to be in a good mood. It seems that you have all completed my test?"
Yahiko said excitedly.
"Yes, teacher, the three of us have fulfilled your request. This is our principal, and this is the profit we earned."
With that said, Yahiko placed wads of bills on Tea Table.
Looking at the money on the table, Tetsuya looked at the three people again.
Obviously all the money of the three of them is here, and turning it in together shows that they finally completed the task together.
"Very good. You successfully completed the assessment I arranged. This is very good."
Hearing what Tetsuya said, Yahiko's excitement was palpable, but then the conversation changed.
"However, as far as I know, in the last half of the time, Yahiko, your flower business seemed to be losing money, and some of you, Nagato, just barely recovered their capital, so only Konan made a profit.
So how did you complete the assessment on the last day? Should you explain it to me?"
Hearing this, the smile on Yahiko's face suddenly stiffened, and he turned to look at Nagato.
Nagato took a step forward.
"Teacher, let me tell you this. The thing is like this..."
To put it simply, Nagato, Konan and Yahiko integrated their respective funds and resources together.
Nagato asked Yahiko and Konan to find someone to promote them, saying that sweets symbolize the sweet memories of the past, flowers symbolize the beautiful love of the present, and origami art symbolizes the infinite possibilities of the future.
A meal of publicity also set off a big trend in Capital City.
Then Nagato integrated the three of their small businesses together, and packaged and sold Yahiko's flowers, his own sweets, and Konan's origami. This bundle of past, present, and future products was immediately sought after by Capital City's young lovers.
Their goods are in short supply, and the benefits from this can be imagined.
"Okay, very good, you did a good job."
Tetsuya is very satisfied with their performance this time.
"Especially you Nagato, you did a great job and successfully applied what I taught you into practice.
You must learn to seize the trend and trend. If there is no trend and trend, then advocate and create it yourself. You performed very well this time. You all performed very well. I declare that all three of you have passed the assessment."
"Yeah!"*3
