This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 436 You're lying to a child!

Meanwhile, in the office of the Vice Minister of Finance.

"Brother Che, Brother Che, we're here!" The office door was pushed open.

Nishikawa Toru was engrossed in a pile of reports about the maglev train route planning when he was startled by the sudden sound.

"Oh my god, you two are here again? Have you been so free lately? No missions?"

Nishikawa Tetsu put down his pen, looked at the two energetic girls, and rubbed his sore eyes.

Shizune explained somewhat apologetically, "Senior Nishikawa, I'm sorry to bother you. Kushina took Senior Kakashi to the Hokage to apply for a joint mission. We're going to the Loulan Kingdom on the border of the Land of Wind to investigate some dragon vein anomalies. Kana couldn't sit still and insisted on dragging me to find you."

"Loulan Kingdom? The dragon vein is acting strangely? And we're taking Kakashi and the others there?"

Upon hearing these keywords, Nishikawa Tetsu's pupils constricted sharply, and his previously drowsy mind instantly cleared.

"Isn't this the plot of the movie 'The Lost Tower'?!"

This is a big event!

According to the original storyline, Naruto from the future will travel to this era due to the rampage of the Dragon Vein, and even team up with Minato and his son to perform a Tai Chi Rasengan.

But now the situation has completely changed!

Minato was too busy with matters concerning the shared destiny of the ninja world to leave, so Kushina led the team.

If Naruto really traveled back in time, wouldn't that be a heart-wrenching drama of mother and son reuniting?

"More importantly..."

Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes became extremely deep.

"If the Naruto from this timeline knows me, it means that my actions have completely altered the future of this timeline. Or rather, that Naruto comes from the future I changed!"

For Nishikawa Tetsuya, this was an excellent opportunity to test the extent of his influence on the world.

"No way, I have to join in the fun!"

Nishikawa Tetsu secretly made his plans.

"Although there's a lot of work at the Ministry of Finance, I can leave a clone here to oversee things and handle the complicated data calculations and signatures. Anyway, the core negotiations are over, and what's left is just a lot of time-consuming work."

"The problem is how to explain this to the Hokage." He didn't believe the Hokage couldn't see through his clone.

"Brother Che! What are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing that Nishikawa Tetsu remained silent for a while, Kana ran to his desk, put her hands on her hips, and asked angrily, "I'm asking you! How's our investment in Konoha Speedrun going? So much time has passed, and I haven't seen a single sign of it! Where's my dividend?"

Faced with the angel investor's interrogation, Nishikawa Tetsuo coughed twice, trying to hide his guilty conscience.

"Um... Chanel, you can't rush things like this in business."

Nishikawa Tetsu adopted the demeanor of a wise and earnest elder and began his persuasive tactics.

"Konoha Express is a groundbreaking project. We're still in the preparation stage, training personnel and setting up key points. This is laying the foundation. If the foundation isn't solid, how can we make big money? So, don't rush, let things develop."

"You're lying!"

Chanel exposed him without any mercy.

She pointed to the messy documents on Nishikawa Tetsu's desk and loudly accused him:

"Genma Shiranui and the others have already mastered that Flying Thunder Formation technique; they're currently helping Minato-nii deliver urgent documents. You're just using our money to fill other holes!"

Chanel plopped down on the sofa, crossed her arms, and gave her a look that said, "I see right through you."

"Brother Che is a big liar! He only cheats children out of their money! I'm going to tell Sister Kushina so she can tie you up with chains!"

Shizune, who was listening nearby, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly tugged at Kana's sleeve: "Kana, don't talk nonsense, Nishikawa-senpai definitely has his own plans..."

"Oh dear, I've been seen through."

Nishikawa Tetsuya was not angry at all; instead, he leaned back in his chair with a smile.

"Alright, since you're so smart, I'll tell you the truth."

He stood up, walked to the two girls, and felt a pang of emotion: the children are grown up now, and they're not so easy to fool anymore.

"Konoha Express is indeed ready to go into operation, but we currently have too few staff."

Nishikawa Tetsu blinked.

"Think about it, our vision for Konoha Express is that no matter where in the ninja world you are, as long as you pay enough, we can deliver your goods in the blink of an eye."

"This kind of massive project is impossible for Genma and his few colleagues to complete, even if they worked themselves to death!"

"Therefore, I am currently recruiting people with spatial ninjutsu talent throughout the entire ninja world."

"Only those who pass the relevant tests and systematically learn and master the Flying Thunder Formation technique can be assigned to the job."

"Furthermore, there aren't many Flying Lightning Formation markings in the ninja world. Although I've instructed the Heian Company to set them up every time they go on a mission, it's still just a drop in the ocean for the entire ninja world."

"Whether it's recruiting staff or setting up markers, these things all take time."

"So, young people, you can't rush things."

Chanel and Shizune were stunned, especially Chanel.

She had indeed oversimplified things before. With Nishikawa Tetsu's explanation, she understood that this project was indeed very complicated and could not be completed overnight.

Xiangnai was a good girl who knew when to admit her mistakes, so she stood up and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle: "Brother Che, I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry!"

Seeing Kana's deep 90-degree bow and the apologetic and admiring expression on her face, Nishikawa Tetsu mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his superb rhetoric and acting skills.

"This little girl is still too naive."

Nishikawa Tetsu reached out to help Kana up, his face now showing a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"It's alright, Chanel. I'm already very pleased that you have this kind of investment mindset."

He sighed, looking out the window with a melancholy gaze, like an entrepreneur struggling through wind and rain.

"You have no idea, for the sake of our Konoha Speedrun, I haven't been eating or sleeping well. I've been running around like crazy every day trying to get sponsorships and find talent, but..."

Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head, his tone becoming heavy.

"The initial investment is just too huge. Buying materials and carving the formula costs money, right? Recruiting those talents with spatial abilities and paying them high salaries and settling-in allowances costs money, right?"

He turned to the two girls, whose eyes were brimming with tears from his words, and revealed his true intentions:

"Although my brother is the vice minister, the village's money belongs to the village and cannot be misappropriated. Our business is a joint public-private enterprise, and our cash flow is currently a bit tight. If the funding doesn't keep up, the speed of network deployment will slow down, and the time when you receive your dividends... may be postponed for several years."

"several years?!"

Upon hearing this, Kana panicked. She was counting on this share of the profits to eat at every dessert shop in the entire ninja world!

"That won't do!" Xiang Nai slapped her thigh. "Brother Che, we absolutely can't let the project stop!"

"But we're short of funds..." Nishikawa Tetsu sighed, feigning difficulty.

"It's okay!"

Chanel was like a fervent believer who had been thoroughly brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, her eyes shining with the light of dedication to the great profit-sharing cause.

"Don't worry, Brother Che. After Shizune and I finish this A-rank mission in Loulan with Sister Kushina, we'll invest all the rewards we get!"

She turned and grabbed Shizune's hand, saying loudly, "Shizune, aren't you right? From now on, every mission we take on, every penny we earn, we'll invest in Konoha Express! When we make a fortune, we'll just lie at home eating daifuku every day and let others run errands for us!"

Shizune was infected by Kana's enthusiasm. Although she felt that something was amiss, she could only nod dazedly under Nishikawa Tetsu's expectant and sincere gaze.

"Hmm... I'll invest too, for the sake of future dividends!"

"good!"

Nishikawa Tetsu slammed his hand on the table, a triumphant smile finally appearing on his face.

"As expected of the angel investor I've chosen! Rest assured, with your investment, Konoha Speedrun will definitely soar to new heights!"

Nishikawa Tetsu immediately wrote two "Letters of Intent for Additional Investment" and handed them to the two girls with a smile.

"Come on, sign your name and put your fingerprint on this."

Watching Kana and Shizune sign their names on the agreement without hesitation, Nishikawa Tetsu sighed inwardly, thinking that these two children were still too naive.
