This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 271 Investment Promotion Situation

Construction site of the main venue for the Chunin Exams.

For these Konoha ninjas and Akatsuki workers, two months was nothing short of a miraculous period.

The original wasteland has been completely leveled and replaced by a circular building that is beginning to take shape.

Although there is still a month until final completion, the framework of the oval arena is almost complete.

"Earth Release team, solidify the chakra of the supporting pillar over there by another half meter."

"Wind-style and Water-style teams, please coordinate well. The temperature is high today, and the concrete will harden too quickly and crack easily. Make sure to spray the cooling mist evenly."

Standing atop scaffolding dozens of meters high, Xiao Nan held a megaphone, her clear, cool voice, enveloped in chakra, reaching every construction node with perfect clarity. Her paper wings fluttered slightly, ready to fly to the next location in need of support.

In the commercial district not far from the arena, the concrete shells of more than a dozen buildings have just been completed.

Although half of the smooth and wide asphalt road has been paved, construction debris and pipelines are still scattered on the road surface.

Although the chakra streetlights have been erected, the light bulbs have not yet been installed, and signs are visible everywhere on the road: Construction ahead, please be careful.

"Deputy Minister, the main underground drainage pipe network of Block 2 has been laid and is undergoing water pressure testing."

"Vice Minister, we've received dozens more letters of intent for leasing space in Building A of the commercial district. Several businessmen from other villages are even willing to pay in full to reserve shops in advance!"

Wearing a yellow hard hat, Nishikawa Tetsu sat casually on an overturned paint bucket outside the temporary command post, listening to Yoshida Kazushima's report.

He looked at the densely packed progress chart in his hand and drew a circle on it with a dusty pen.

"Don't rush to submit letters of intent for investment; raise the base rent by another 10%."

"Once the glass curtain wall on the exterior of the building is installed, those outsiders will definitely be even more envious. If they benefit from it, it will only make Konoha look weak."

"Just give them half a month to do the renovations."

"Half a month?" Yoshida Kazushima exclaimed in surprise. "Vice Minister, I'm afraid that's not enough time. They can't open immediately after the renovations are finished...

Before he could finish speaking, Nishikawa Tetsu interrupted him: "If they just rent our renovation service, let alone half a month, a week will be enough for them to open their shop and welcome customers!"

Goodness, the vice minister is trying to make the most of everything! Not only will he raise the rent, but he'll also have to buy renovation services, otherwise even if they manage to rent it, it'll be too late before the Chunin Exams.

Ichijima smiled bitterly to himself. No wonder that other people were already deputy ministers at such a young age, while he was just a newly promoted secretary.

"I understand, Deputy Minister."

"By the way, Vice Minister." Yoshida Kazushima opened another thick booklet, his tone tinged with emotion.

"The applications from all the major ninja clans in the village have been compiled. Your previous internal presentation was very effective. Almost all the top-ranking clans want to get a share of this new business district."

Speaking of Nishikawa Tetsu's speech at the Konoha reform mobilization meeting, Yoshida Kazushima sighed again, "No wonder he's a leader!"

He got everyone present excited, as if investing money would guarantee a profit. If he hadn't been broke, he would have invested right away.

"Oh? What projects did you sign up for?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked with great interest.

"The Akimichi and Uchiha clans are the most proactive."

Yidao pointed to the location of the most central dining area on the map.

"The application submitted by Akimichi Choza indicates their intention to open Konoha's largest and most luxurious Akimichi yakiniku (grilled meat) flagship store here. They've even applied for an open-air barbecue area that can accommodate hundreds of people at once. As for the Uchiha clan..."

Ichijima paused, his expression somewhat strange.

"Captain Fugaku took over three shops under the dual names of the police department and his clan: a souvenir shop for the police department, selling mugs and baton models with the Uchiha clan crest; a yakiniku Q shop, specializing in high-end yakiniku; and a weimei hot pot restaurant, specializing in high-end hot pot."

"Hot pot?" Nishikawa Tetsu almost burst out laughing. "Fugaku-senpai really has a deep obsession with hot pot, but his business acumen has certainly kicked in; he's even creating related merchandise."

"And there's the mountain tribe," Ichijima continued his report.

"Yamano Inoichi has applied for a huge shop facing the street, preparing to upgrade his flower shop into the Yamanaka Flower Art Center. Not only will he sell flowers, but he will also offer flower arranging classes, chakra plant viewing, and even a petal essential oil treatment area in collaboration with Nono-sama's Yanjiu Institute."

"The Nara family..." Ichishima said with a strange expression, "They're not planning to open a pharmacy."

"They're planning to open a milk tea shop, apparently based on medicinal herbs used in food therapy, marketed as a health-promoting beverage."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded: "Of the three companies, Ino-Shika-Cho, they always have the keenest sense for making money."

"However, what surprised me the most was the Inuzuka clan."

One island turns the page, pointing to a special shop located next to the ecological park.

"The head of the Inuzuka family came to me personally, saying he wanted to open a... Ninja Dog Interactive Experience Center there."

Upon hearing the name, Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes lit up. "A dog café? That's a great idea! In this stressful world, who can resist the healing power of furry companions?"

"But, Vice Minister," Ichishima frowned with some concern, "the Inuzuka family's ninja dogs, though well-trained, are still quite large and have a loud bark."

"If we open it near a shopping mall, won't it disturb other customers? Besides, what if those ninjas or tourists from other villages get frightened by the dog..."

"These are not problems."

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand confidently.

"For noise problems, wouldn't our research institute's soundproofing barrier come in handy? We should make sure noisy shops buy soundproofing barriers, or they won't be allowed to operate. Install them on the walls and ceiling of the dog cafe, and you'll be guaranteed that no matter how loudly the dogs bark inside, you won't hear a thing outside."

"As for security, that's the Inuzuka family's specialty. Tell the Inuzuka family that the dog café only offers petting, feeding, and photo opportunities, and absolutely prohibits any behavior that might anger the ninja dogs. If any outsiders dare to cause trouble at the dog café..."

Nishikawa Tetsu sneered.

"Then let the Uchiha from the police department give them a basic legal education. Perfect timing, with the Uchiha and Inuzuka clan joining forces, who would dare mess with that level of security?"

Ichijima nodded repeatedly, deeply admiring the deputy minister's business acumen.

"Besides these few, the Aburame clan's chakra insect repellent specialty store, the Kurama family's dream service, and even the Hyuga clan have applied for a shop to open an acupoint therapy center."

"Hahaha! The Hyuga clan is so supportive of us! Don't the branch family members have any objections?"

Nishikawa Tetsu couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was obvious that the physiotherapy clinic couldn't possibly be run by someone from the family.

"Great, excellent! As long as they're willing to come, we can offer them a discount on the rent, which is the same as the in-village rate."

Nishikawa Tetsu picked up the iced cola next to him, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and felt the refreshing coolness from his throat to his stomach. He was about to hold another meeting with the foremen in charge of the interior decoration.

"Brother Che—!!!"

A clear and loud shout pierced through the noise of the construction site and reached Nishikawa Tetsu's ears precisely.

Nishikawa Tetsu's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the cola on the blueprints.

He turned his head and saw a little girl bypass the security personnel, rush directly into the sunshade, and then skillfully slide and grab his leg.

Seeing this, Ichijima quickly took the documents and left.
