Location Change: Martial Arts Dojo-

"Okay everyone, today we're going to be working on which areas you can target to cause anyone who attacks you the most pain. The more pain you cause them, the more likely you are to be able to escape. Uzumaki-san, please step forward and act like you're going to attack me."

Naruto stepped forward, dressed as a criminal, as he took a wooden knife and stepped forward and pretended like he was going to attack the martial arts master of the dojo. Quickly, he was punched hard in the gut, and he grunted in pain as a shock of breathlessness and suffering went through him.

'... Today is liver day... fuck...' Naruto thought as he stood up straight again.

"Now, the liver is the center of blood circulation, and one of the largest unprotected organs. A good hit to the liver will bring down most people. Thankfully, Uzumaki-san here is used to getting hit, so, everyone get into a line and prepare to practice. After 30 minutes of practice, I'll correct your forms and we'll practice the correct forms for another 30 minutes."

Naruto was a practice dummy for martial arts students who wanted to learn self-defense. Since not a lot of people wanted to take the job of getting the shit kicked out of them, he had zero competition when applying for this job. It was part-time work for him, but it was a job that he was more than capable of handling. It was only 2 hours of work whenever he worked here, and while he was always a practice dummy, it was still work that paid him decent.

Sadly, today wasn't payday for this job, which made the suffering he faced for the next few hours all the more bitter as he was punched in the gut over and over.

He hated this job, but it was something that was needed.

These people needed to learn self-defense, and it was best to learn against a real person, where you could judge how a person reacted to getting hit.

-2 Hours Later-

Naruto walked out of the dojo, looking at his watch, and nodding to him, holding his stomach with his other hand.Thankfully, the next place he had to work, was a place that he actually liked, since hit didn't do a ton of labor, and he wasn't used as a punching bag. It was really close by as well.

Naruto smiled as he walked towards the Massage Parlour he worked at.

Out of Business}

"Oi, Uzumaki, didn't yeh get the message, we went out of business last night. Shame, but the new place down the street put us out of business. We just couldn't afford rent anymore."

Naruto was greeted to an older woman who stood outside of the store, taking down all the decorations from the outside. Naruto frowned to himself, before he sighed and he rubbed the back of his head in annoyance.
