Chapter 20: Important Steps for a Successful Future

It was the second day of Sakumo's absence, Iguru was sitting at the last desk, listening to a boring teacher. It was as if he was reading a document, telling about the world forces.

Leaning his hands against the desk, Sora touched the plaster glued to Kakashi's cheek in the morning. The gray-haired boy suffered with the body of a friend who had to be dragged home. He needed to spend his time yesterday to treat the wounds of a sleeping boy. Hatake never once blamed haste in his thoughts.

Already in the morning, both with fresh forces moved to school in the cool weather. Sora looked weak, but even with colic in places where clothes came into contact with bandages, he still came to school, where he was questioned by worried classmates. In the first they saw the flawed condition of the kind boy.

He had to skip the training practice, instead he went to his dear subordinate. Having found the store where his policy was dictated, he went there.

His presence was not noticed, two men were dragging boxes of fruit from side to side, occasionally exchanging offers.

- Listen, and who is our main one?

- Well, I can't tell you right away. It is better to see once than to hear several times. The main thing is, don't throw anything away when you see it... - Kato straightened up to the string, noticing a short guest in his shop. - Sir!

- Well, don't do that, I'm here as a buyer. It was not enough for people poking their noses into their own affairs to get their hands on information about me.

Sora sat down on a chair. Catching the gaze of an unfamiliar man studying him, he turned his attention to that one. The stranger was directly struck by lightning, he did not expect this. A look filled with boundless experience and maturity, as if before him is not a five-year-old boy, but a full-fledged man.

- Who is this? the boy asked.

- You asked me to find new outlets, I found two subordinates for myself who will help us in this. This is Kenshiro Fujikubo, he has enough experience in comfortably selling goods. He is the right person who has his own ideals.

- What kind of person will I see for myself when he shows himself in business, and the second one?

- The second, to be more precise. A young girl, just recently turned twenty, I came across her in my adventures, in principle, like Kenshiro, we then talked to her. Smart and attractive enough, I want to see how she will prove herself. Something tells me she has talent.

- A girl, right?

- I assure you, she will cope.

- Yes, I'm not worried about that. If she's like you said, then I'm afraid she'll often have problems in the store because of boyfriends.

He directed Sora in the right direction of men's thoughts. His attitude to girls is exactly the same as to men. Everyone is equal to him until he learns their true face and desire.

- You have nothing to worry about, she is a former Shinobi. Previously, I was a chuunin, but this profession is too dangerous in our time, so I left there.

- What's your name?

- Shioru Hori.

- Kato Murakami, Kenshiro Fujikubo, Shioru Hori. Well, let's see what kind of subordinates you have recruited. You are responsible for them with your head, and now give me a full report and revenue.

Hearing the order of his immediate master, Kato went to the office where all the necessary documents were lying. Only a man and a guy remained in the store. The first one had a question, but he didn't know how to approach it.

- Ask away... "the masked boy gave him the opportunity.

- Um, are you really the owner of this establishment? - the picture that was happening in front of him still did not fit in his head.

- Is something bothering you? By the way, since you've seen me, you'll have to put a seal on the secrecy of my organization. Otherwise, I do not know how long your tongue is, in which case you will simply die... He jumped down from his chair and walked towards the man.

On the market in the system, he bought himself a couple more subordinate contracts for 100,000 rubles each. The price bit, but the efficiency spoke for itself. This was not a panacea for all problems, since this agreement did not block memories. For such a contract, you need to pay at least one more zero.

Pulling out a sheet of conditions from behind his back, he put it on the counter in front of the man. He took the paper with trembling hands, and ran his eyes over the conditions. From the outside, it seemed that this was not a non-disclosure agreement, but a contract with the devil to sell his soul.

- Will you sign it? There's nothing illegal there, but I can't advertise about myself. I don't think it's necessary to explain why.

- Don't, - he went through each line again, reading as well as possible. But I didn't notice anything bad for myself. Only in case of disclosure of the identity and internal affairs of the organization, he died. There were also conditions such as damage to the organization's employees and embezzlement of funds, but this was in addition to all other conditions. Iguru had to provide some kind of security. - Ha... I'll sign it.

- Here you go! - he gave a sharp kunai. The signature was put with the imprint of his blood.

After making a neat incision of his finger, from which a lot of blood gushed out, he put a seal on the contract. Now there was blood not only in the place of the fingerprint, but also on the conditions themselves.

"Sir, I've finally collected everything you need. Oh! Have you already signed the contract, my dear friend? One less problem.

After putting the contract back into the inventory, Sora completely turned his attention to the pile of papers on which important information was stored. He began to study one by one, and Kato voiced the main part of what was interesting.

- For the seventh day we have been buying at least fifteen thousand fruits a day. And this is taking into account the fact that some people just leave, because sometimes our queues reach too many people. Net profit per day is at least thirty thousand re, if we open two more outlets in other trading quarters, then our net profit will grow to ninety thousand.

- Salary?

- It is not taken into account, I calculated the profit only that we get for the difference between buying and selling.

- This is no longer a net profit. It would be clean if you took into account the salary. In total, we are now getting roughly sixty thousand, which is significantly small for my plans, but not bad for a start.

- So far, the salary for the day is five thousand re. We still need to find such favorable conditions as we have! - Kato was proud of his involvement in the nascent Atlanta.

- No, our conditions are bad. You don't need to evaluate yourself in comparison with others, you need to look higher. Imagine the ideal of your work, you need to strive for this ... - Sora replied, he still had a lot to do so that the organization had a chance to exist in this world teeming with sharks and piranhas, eager to profit from honest people.

- What are you talking about? Kenshiro has already asked here. For him, too, these conditions were already excellent, especially comparing previous works in which he suffered from his masters. Although he was also on guard here, but seeing the still unspoiled child, he decided to trust for the last time.

- You do not have your own security, working conditions are also overstated. No rest or lunch break. If I were you, I would at least have a guard for myself, and if any Shinobi show up. How to fight off such? - the guy explained his point of view.

"My God-and-in! - Kato bumped into the boy.

- Are you an angel? Kenshiro was taken aback. This big guy stepped back and rested against the wall. Such bright thoughts were like a breath of fresh air in the midst of a thick fire.

- Calm down! - the guy tried to hit the man, but the blow was so weak that the subordinate only laughed and let his master go.

- When we reach earnings above this, higher salaries will grow. In addition, you need to grow yourself a guard ... - it was also possible to hire, but you had to find more promising people. Still, the guy had a little problem, he wanted the best for himself. Even living in the worst conditions, he tried to create for himself a comfort superior to that of others.

- Is there anything else? What do I need to know? - he finally put down the papers after a detailed study.

- Yes, two shops have already contacted us with the supply of our fruits.

- And this is a good bell in our direction. People finally began to develop a niche. Have you talked about any specific figures? - a smile appeared on the guy's face, as if he had achieved one of his goals.

- Only with one. A man came to me yesterday and offered to deliver him five thousand fruits to the store every three days.

- Hmm, and what do they do? Sora asked.

- Baking.

- It's not bad, if this niche is not occupied, then we will do it. - the guy spoke about something of his own, his thoughts were already far away in planning the next steps.
