Scientific Naruto: The Magneto of the Hyuga Clan

On the streets of Konoha, Hyuga Satoru slapped a stack of bills in his hand, frowning as he planned how to spend it to maximize its value.

The original living allowance of 1,500 ryo had increased by three times to 4,500 ryo. It wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't too little either. Roughly, it was the amount one could get from a C-rank mission. (C-rank: a relatively low-level mission rank in the ninja world)

Adding the savings he had left from buying the storage scroll before, customizing some metal arrows shouldn't be a big problem.

The main thing was to find a suitable ninja tool shop. If it was too high-end, he couldn't make many arrows. If it was too shabby, it wouldn't meet the effects he expected.

Alas, it's so hard being short on money. It would be great if he could be taken care of by a rich woman.

Hyuga Satoru couldn't help but complain. Why was he a debtor in his previous life, and still had to worry about money after transmigrating?

While looking for a ninja tool shop, Hyuga Satoru deliberately bypassed the area where the previous shop was. After all, Rin Uchiha said that the entire street belonged to her family, and he had injured her during the assessment. It was better to avoid her if possible.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into that ninja tool shop, the clerk lady came up to him enthusiastically.

"Is that Hyuga Satoru-kun? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

???

"Are you guys mistaken?"

The clerk lady said enthusiastically, "That's right, it's you. Our young miss said that as long as you came, we have to treat you well!"

Young miss? Was it Rin Uchiha again?

Hyuga Satoru's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that after going out of his way around half the village, it was still her shop, huh?

"How many shops does your young miss's family actually have?" Hyuga Satoru couldn't help asking.

"Not many, not many. Almost half of the ninja tool shops in Konoha belong to our family."

"..."

"What about outside of Konoha?"

"Um, there are also dozens of them?"

Hyuga Satoru was speechless.

The clerk girl said, "Although our boss is from the Uchiha clan, she's not good at fighting but is very proficient in business. With the relationship with Granny Cat, the business has naturally grown very big."

"The young miss born in such an environment has had a strong competitive spirit since she was a child."

Alright... Hyuga Satoru pursed his lips. It seemed that the personas of Rin Uchiha as a rich woman and an overachiever couldn't be shaken off.

"Customize a type of arrow for me. The material must be metal. It would be best if it's..."

Hyuga Satoru was already too lazy to look for other shops, so he put forward his requirements one by one.

"How much?" he asked tentatively. After all, he was short on money and didn't have the confidence to speak loudly.

"1,000 ryo."

"1,000 ryo?" Hyuga Satoru looked surprised.

It wasn't that it was expensive, but it was much cheaper than he expected. According to his previous estimate, the price should be at least several times higher.

"Yes," the clerk lady said with a smile. "The young miss has instructed that we must give you a discount."

"Is that so?" Hyuga Satoru rubbed his chin. Since the other party was willing to offer such a good deal, he couldn't reject their kindness.

"Make 5 more arrows according to the previous specifications, using chakra metal."

"Uh... okay."

It would take a few days to customize the arrows. The next day, when Hyuga Satoru came to school, he found that the looks his classmates gave him had changed.

Shock, envy, admiration, jealousy... all kinds of emotions were mixed in their gazes and were all cast at Hyuga Satoru.

Hyuga Satoru saw Iruka looking at him with a complicated expression. When he noticed Hyuga Satoru looking back, he immediately turned his head away, not wanting to meet his gaze.

As soon as he sat down in his seat, he saw Anko next to him curiously leaning her face over.

"Hey, Satoru, are you really the ninja with Double Kekkei Genkai that they're talking about?"

"Of course." Hyuga Satoru gave her a disdainful look. Why was she so slow to react?

"I never thought there would be someone with two Kekkei Genkai at the same time. It's really incredible. I thought one was the limit."

"Have you gotten your wits addled from eating too much sweet stuff? There have been ninjas with Double Kekkei Genkai in Kirigakure before. They're rare, but not extinct. Read more books, will you?"

If it were before, when Anko was mocked like this by Hyuga Satoru, she would definitely retort loudly right away. But now that she knew he was a genius with Double Kekkei Genkai, she just nodded quietly and said, "Oh."

Just then, Hyuga Satoru noticed someone walking towards them. Looking up, he saw it was Rin Uchiha.

"What's up?"

Hyuga Satoru's voice wasn't very loud. He had ripped the other person off when buying the arrows yesterday, and now he felt a bit guilty.

Rin Uchiha said calmly, "Let's have a fight after school."..

Hyuga Satoru:???

No way? Just for a few chakra metal arrows? Is it really necessary? I'll just pay back the money, in installments.

As if sensing the inappropriateness of her words, Rin Uchiha thought for a while and said, "I wasn't satisfied with losing to you last time. I've learned some new ninjutsu. Let's have another match after school."

Hyuga Satoru heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mutter under his breath. Dude, if you want a match, just say so. What do you mean by "have a fight"?

"Compared to Kakashi Hatake, you're a more suitable opponent."

Rin Uchiha paused and added, "If you agree, I'll cover all your future ninja tool expenses."

There's potential here!

Hyuga Satoru's lips curled slightly. To develop the Electromagnetic Force ability, the consumption of ninja tools was essential. He couldn't count on his clan. Since Rin Uchiha was willing to be the sucker, why not take advantage of it?

After confirming the time and place, Rin Uchiha returned to her seat.

Next to him, Anko curiously leaned her face over and whispered, "Satoru, what's your relationship with that Rin Uchiha?"

Hyuga Satoru thought for a while and said, "Supplier."

Anko:???

After school, Rin Uchiha followed Hyuga Satoru to the woods on the back mountain. A stream trickled gently among the trees. The afterglow of the setting sun fell through the gaps in the treetops onto the dead leaves on the ground. It was so pleasant.

"Is this where you usually train? Why don't you train in the training ground of your clan?"

Rin Uchiha looked around and couldn't help but ask as she did.

"There are too many stubborn elements in the clan. Training there, I can't be at ease." Hyuga Satoru shrugged.

Hearing Hyuga Satoru's words, Rin Uchiha thought of some of the elders in the Uchiha clan. Her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and she nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, there are always a lot of old fogeys in big clans."

Hyuga Satoru clicked his tongue and looked at Rin Uchiha, couldn't help but say, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to really come."

Rin Uchiha raised an eyebrow and looked at Hyuga Satoru.

"Why do you say that?"

"Um..."

"Do you know that going to the small forest with a male classmate has another meaning in some places..."

"What meaning?"

There was a hint of confusion in Rin Uchiha's jet-black eyes as she stared directly at him.

Hyuga Satoru pressed his lips together. He had to admit that Rin Uchiha was good-looking. She was that kind of cold, long black-haired little girl.

But at this moment, a voice kept echoing in his mind.

I'm not into underage girls, and I don't fight with little girls either.

Although many people in the ninja world got married at around thirteen years old, Hyuga Satoru still held the values from his previous life. He kept a respectful distance from this little wealthy girl in front of him.

More importantly, he was worried that if they got too close, he would be worn out by her relentless efforts! After all, besides being a wealthy girl, she was also a hard worker.

"Forget it. I don't want to discuss these boring topics with you."

A trace of impatience appeared on Rin Uchiha's face.

"Let's just start fighting!"
