The next day.
Zeff stood outside a brothel in his own appearance, deeply conflicted.
"To think I was once a navy admiral, and now..."
Zeff naturally drew plenty of attention standing at the entrance. After all, a physique like his was rare even in the Hokage world.
"Sir... we don't open until the afternoon. Aren't you a little early?"
Just then, a middle-aged woman in a bathrobe approached Zeff, looking over his muscular build as she asked.
"Ahem..." Zeff cleared his throat twice as he looked at her. "I'm not here for fun. I'm here to discuss a business deal with your boss!"
"Oh?" Hearing that he had come on business only made the woman more curious.
After all... this was a brothel. Any business discussed here would naturally be of the salacious variety.
But what sort of salacious business would such an upright-looking, muscular man propose? She was curious.
The woman's name was Sister Hua, and she held a stake in practically every brothel in the Land of Fire.
To be precise, these establishments could only operate smoothly within the Land of Fire if they let Sister Hua become a shareholder.
The reason was simple: Sister Hua had powerful connections. She was the younger cousin of the Land of the Hokage's daimyo.
"Business, is it... follow me! I'm one of the owners here!"
As she spoke, Sister Hua led Zeff to the tavern next door.
Once inside, Sister Hua motioned for Zeff to sit, then elegantly poured him a cup of tea.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
"My name is Zeff..."
As he spoke, Zeff placed the Movie Projector and a large stack of Discs on the table.
After setting everything down, Zeff felt even more embarrassed.
These things... were none other than... Adult Films, and ones with plots that Naruto had carefully selected, at that.
Naruto's money-making scheme was to sell Adult Films.
Even Jiraiya's dirty novels had so many readers. Naruto believed these Adult Films with actual plots would sell like hotcakes and completely outshine Jiraiya's books.
When Zeff learned that Naruto wanted him to sell porn, he naturally refused.
After all, he was already so old. Doing something like this was just too...
So... he planned to pass this glorious job on to the young Kurapika.
But Naruto ultimately rejected that idea, because he planned to spend the next few days learning Nen from Kurapika.
Knowing that learning Nen would also help Naruto grow stronger, Zeff could only... agree to the assignment.
Sister Hua looked curiously at the things on the table, but froze for a moment when she saw the covers of the Discs.
Before she could ask anything, however, Zeff said stiffly, "These are called Discs. This Movie Projector can play the films on them... and as for their content... I think they're very suitable for brothels."
Sister Hua looked at the Discs and the Movie Projector, then asked, "Could you show me how to use it?"
Zeff nodded, then turned on the Movie Projector and inserted a Disc.
The film ran for over two hours, but less than half an hour in, Sister Hua already felt her cheeks flush and her heart race.
Not only that, but the plot was full of twists and turns. Sister Hua was certain that these Adult Films would sell extremely well in her hands.
Afraid she would lose control if she kept watching, Sister Hua copied Zeff's actions, pausing the film and turning it off.
"Mr. Zeff, I'm very pleased with this Movie Projector and these Discs. How much do they cost?"
"One hundred thousand ryo per unit, with ten Discs included!"
Zeff quoted the price without hesitation.
Hearing the price of one hundred thousand ryo per unit, Sister Hua fell silent.
One hundred thousand ryo was equivalent to the payment for a ninja's B-Rank Mission, but when she considered the ten included Discs, she felt it wasn't a bad deal.
Besides, she could buy the Movie Projectors and resell them to nobles in various countries at a higher price.
She was certain these things would be in high demand among the nobles of every clan.
Sister Hua could also tell that what Zeff truly wanted to sell wasn't the Movie Projector, but the Discs.
Once someone owned a Movie Projector, they would keep buying Discs. The profits from those would definitely far exceed those from the Movie Projectors.
Naturally, she could arrange to resell the Discs as well.
After hesitating for a moment, Sister Hua nodded. "I agree to the price of one hundred thousand ryo. I'll take three hundred units to start!"
Zeff was startled to hear her ask for three hundred.
Originally, he and Naruto had planned to sell a dozen or twenty units, just enough to buy a house.
He hadn't expected the woman before him to ask for three hundred right off the bat...
"Ah... looks like Wolffy will have his work cut out for him over the next few days!"
Since she wanted three hundred units, Zeff naturally agreed to sell them.
Sister Hua also generously put down three million ryo as a deposit.
"Three hundred is quite a lot, and we still need to manufacture them, so I'll deliver them in batches. I hope you understand!"
"That's fine... but... I'd like you to work exclusively with me on this business!"
Zeff did not refuse.
In any case, he had no intention of continuing once this deal was done. After all... selling porn just this once was enough...
And so... Zeff returned home with three million ryo in cash.
Meanwhile.
Naruto's Shadow Clone went to school in place of his original body. Naturally, the Shadow Clone also carried several Computer setups to school.
He had promised the Rookies and Hinata yesterday, so he couldn't go back on his word.
But he suspected... these computer games would soon be rendered obsolete by the Metaverse.
Another of Naruto's Shadow Clones was collecting junk all over Konoha.
Because of what had happened last time, the bratty kids kept their distance whenever they saw Naruto collecting junk. They didn't want another tag-team beating from their parents.
As for Naruto's original body, he was learning Nen from Kurapika at his usual training spot.
Naruto actually preferred Nen to ninjutsu.
Nen was more varied, and every Nen ability was closely tied to its user's personality, naturally making it easy to wield.
There was still one uncertainty, however: Naruto didn't know whether people from the Hokage world could learn Nen.
After all, these were different worlds, and there might be slight differences in human anatomy.
Today, Naruto was going to find out whether he could learn it, so... he hadn't invited Rock Lee to that morning's training.
