Chapter 28: Chapter 28: 18+ Literature Lover
Tenten emphasized the price of this explosive tag, and when talking about its function, she was somewhat proud, which puzzled people.
"Is the price very cheap?" Sasuke asked, "Can it be as cheap as ramen?"
"Of course, two hundred and sixty... two hundred ryō can buy one," Tenten changed the price halfway through her speech and said it was cheaper.
Sasuke thought of the prices of many ingredients in the downtown area and nodded slightly: "Two hundred and sixty ryō is not expensive; it's good for training. If it's too powerful and blows up the training ground, it will be difficult to repair."
"Not two hundred and sixty ryō, two hundred ryō will do," Tenten corrected.
Sasuke said, "I just heard that, 260 ryō, no need for special discounts. I, Uchiha, don't need this little money."
"It's not just a matter of discounts," Tenten said, thinking for a while and then explained, "Because these explosive tags are different from regular ones, the power is very small, and another reason is that this explosive tag is my practice work.
"As a third-year student, I am still far from being a formal ninja. If I sell my practice work as a commercial product, it will affect the reputation of the ninja tool store, so I can sell it at cost price."
"And time is also a cost, so add a little more money!"
Sasuke understood her idea but still added a little price. He didn't want to buy it at the real cost price. After all, it's not easy to make explosive tags.
What's more, this person has the potential to be promoted to the top of the ninja world by relying on ninja tools.
A training work for the strong also has its own value.
Listening to Sasuke's words, Tenten wanted to refuse, but after being persuaded for a while, she chose to accept the price increase of 20 ryō.
The white kitten yawned lazily on Sasuke's shoulder: "It's really a wonder in the world. In business, there are sellers who want to lower prices and buyers who want to raise prices. Host, your Uchiha style of doing things is unique!"
"This is fair!" Sasuke's reply was very simple.
He was very averse to taking advantage of others.
Even after having the narration system, he used this ability to pry into privacy, mainly to divide the safety zone, to avoid worrying about danger when it would happen, and not being able to sleep well. He would not easily read too much information on weekdays.
After a round of arguing with Tenten, Sasuke bought five of Tenten's practice works at the price of 220 ryō per explosive tag, then carefully put them away, and went to select some large items.
After that, he saw Tenten's talented time and space ninjutsu and sealing techniques. She sealed all the large items and then taught Sasuke how to open the scroll when he got to the place.
"Not bad, your ability should not be easy to achieve even for a formal ninja! And you can make explosive tags now, not bad," Sasuke praised seriously.
This third-year senior with a good personality and strong talent potential left a good impression on him, and he felt that she was a very good person.
The main reason was that her talent potential was indeed not bad.
Hearing his praise, Tenten said modestly with some embarrassment: "In fact, I just spent more time on this aspect. In the normal in subjects of the ninja academy, I am more ordinary."
"What determines a person's impression on others is always their strongest side. Tenten, you are being modest," Sasuke said.
When the mutual praise event was about to take place, Tenten thought of something she almost forgot before and hurriedly said: "Well, Sasuke, you mentioned that the training ground needs to be repaired before. I have some channels to understand this."
"Do you know who is better to find to repair the training ground?" Sasuke became a little interested.
Although you can be self-reliant with your own hands, according to the system's suggestion, for children like him who can still be called "youngsters," in addition to their duties as students, there is no need to do unnecessary labor to "experience the hardships of life."
If you can spend money, there is no need to work.
Seeing that Sasuke was interested in this matter, Tenten was also happy to explain to him the corresponding business channels, how to be more cost-effective, and how to avoid being cheated by unscrupulous merchants.
After a pleasant exchange, she watched Sasuke leave the ninja tool shop and warmly invited him: "Come often in the future! The ninja tools here are fully equipped and will be used after you become a ninja."
"Okay!" Sasuke nodded, gradually realizing the advantages of his face. At the same time, he was a little puzzled, "System, do you think I look good?"
"Good."
"Thank you, I think you look good too," Sasuke praised politely in return.
The white kitten suddenly jumped up, and the pure white hair color changed a little: "Why are you praising me so much all of a sudden? I'm a little uncomfortable with this."
"Just talking casually," Sasuke's expression was still very calm.
He walked slowly on the street and occasionally stopped to look at the sky.
"The purchase of ninja tools was completed very quickly, and there is really plenty of leisure time!"
"That's right, how can you not have an excellent comic book during your pleasant practice time?"
The white kitten returned to Sasuke's shoulder and suggested excitedly, "It just so happens that the bookstore will receive a batch of new serialized books on the weekend. I looked at the serialization date last time. Togashi finally updated it this time."
The cat clenched its paws, showing a very excited emotion.
However, no one on the street could see the projection of this system.
Listening to the system's suggestions, Sasuke followed suit.
Anyway, he was idle, so he might as well do something simple that made people feel happy.
...
Bookstore.
When Sasuke strolled here, he saw a yellow-haired boy quietly flipping through a book in the store.
The conspicuous narration immediately revealed the other person's identity.
[Name: Uzumaki Naruto, Age: 7 years old]
[...]
[Naruto, who usually falls asleep while reading, showed up in the bookstore and had some ideas about the books here, which surprised the young host.]
[Has this person who broke the average lower limit of the grade changed his nature?]
[The young host was curious about the result, but ignored the difference between in-class and extracurricular books, which is especially big for poor students, and also ignored the problem that the ninja academy education system still has great development potential.]
```
"Ignored problem..."
Sasuke didn't look at more detailed information about Naruto. There was not much information that his peers could not understand in front of him.
Naruto's current situation was obviously not one of them. It was nothing more than something in the bookstore that attracted him.
For the last-place students in the ninja academy who couldn't do anything well, many things outside the school that could give instant feedback could create sufficient attraction.
There is no need to waste energy on selecting the narration content for more details.
Just watch it openly.
When the shop owner saw Sasuke coming in directly, he pretended not to see him and let him look around. After all, he had confirmed that this person would really spend money.
Open the door to all directions, and all the people coming and going are customers.
Age is not that important.
Before this, a yellow-haired guy who sneaked in quietly stayed in the corner and quietly flipped through some books, muttering something in his mouth: "So adults like this?
"Ninja, to overcome the weaknesses of adults, if it can become like this, um - why does it feel like the one in the front is getting bigger and bigger the more you turn to the back?"
Sasuke walked around the store naturally, saw the covers of those books in the field of special comics and novels, and determined the content of the books Naruto read.
Within half of his expectations.
Knowing that things outside the school are very attractive to Naruto.
What he didn't expect was that it was this thing that attracted him.
He walked over silently and could see that this was a comic with a very boring story.
Almost every one or two pages, there were adult women in white swimsuits, and Naruto was studying it very hard.
Next to this comic, there was a best-selling book but the story was not judged strongly enough, namely [Make-Out Paradise], [Snow Country Scenery], and so on.
Sasuke asked the cat on his shoulder: "System, this guy won't be the last one because of these messy things!"
"Love literature?" The white kitten said, stretching out his paws and covering his eyes, but there were gaps between his paws, "This yellow-haired guy is really, he has had dirty thoughts since he was a child, and he matures no later than the girls in your class!"
Sasuke also remembered that Naruto seemed to think that a girl with cherry blossom hair in the class was very cute and regarded him as a rival in love?
At this time, Naruto was gradually fascinated by the book.
Behind him, the shop owner finally came over, and the pressure seemed to be pressed down several layers: "I have told you many times that you can't buy the books here without reading them—"
Naruto's hair stood on end, and he felt like a flood beast appeared behind him.
