Business

Sakura and Mebuki were sent home after our little session inside of my apartment room.

I was able to gain an Intermediate Cleaning Skill from Mebuki. Before, I wouldn't have much inclination for these mundane skills. However, my opinion of them changed after my experiences with the advanced Cooking skills.

If used correctly, they can be very helpful. Particularly, these skills have the option of letting the System take over my body and allowing it to go on autopilot. It's like having a hack of some sort.

After they left, I cleaned myself up and entered into a slumber with Karin at my side.

I wanted to find a skill that allows me to skip sleeping, but until then, I have to sleep to keep my health in check.

…

"YAWN~" Morning came, and I stretched my body that had recovered from its exhaustion.

Xssss~

The smell of cooked eggs and bacon wafted into my nose. I salivated as my stomach growled in anticipation of the delicious breakfast I knew was being prepared.

"Are you awake, Sasuke?" Karin peeked her head into the bedroom's door.

"Yes…" My words trailed off as I stared at Karin's naked body that's hidden behind an apron.

"Well, I've made some breakfast for you." Karin cheerily smiled and went back into the kitchen. She wanted to give the evil body some eye candy while also making food for him.

I quickly got up from my bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up. I then went to the kitchen and sat down on the table.

"Here you are, Sasuke. It's not as good as your cooking, but I hope you like it." Karin placed a bowl of rice on the table. There was also a plate of scrambled egg and bacon.

It seems that Karin was listening to me when I once spoke about western cooking during the one month break before the Chunin tournament.

"Thank you, Karin. That's very thoughtful." I complimented her. Although the food would've been better if I cooked it, the fact that Karin made the food makes it delicious.

"Wait… I got some snacks for you too." Karin showed her cheeky smile again and came forward, sliding her apron to the side and slipping out one of her cute nipples.

"Oh? I do love myself some snacks." I smirked and leaned forward to suck on Karin's nipple for a second before stuffing food into my mouth.

…

…

After consuming my breakfast, I left the apartment with Karin.

I also brought my concoctions with me. I wasn't planning on using them, but I did have other plans.

And those plans are to sell them. Obviously, selling the concoctions individually wouldn't make me a lot of money.

However, it's a whole different story if I sold the recipes of the concoctions.

Because right now, there are a lot of loaded nobles in the village because the Hokage's funeral is today, so it's the best time to find buyers.

I'm confident that I would get a good deal for them because I've clearly displayed their prowess in the exam. Plus, I also had the laxative and aphrodisiac concoction that they haven't seen yet.

I reckoned that those two are going to be my most profitable ones when I expose them to the nobles.

…

The act of finding the nobles isn't hard at all.

All I had to do was to activate my Byakugan and use it with the Mind's Eye of Kaguya. Once those two skills are activated, I just had to find a resort that has a large concentration of guards.

And like how I did to Orochimama's resort, I just waltzed right up to the front door that had two ninjas guarding it.

"Stop right there! Who are you and what do you want with the nobles?!" A tall and lanky Chunin of the leaf stepped in front of the door.

He and his partner were sent here by the village to guard the nobles because they felt unsafe due to the previous attack.

"I want to talk about some business with them. I advise you to move aside." I said as I activated my Sharingan.

My red eyes came into existence and they peered into the two Chunin's souls.

"Y-you… You're Sasuke Uchiha!" The other Chunin exclaimed. They were on guard duty during the Chunin Tournament, so they didn't know what Sasuke looked like. However, they are well aware of his existence with all the rumors going around.

"It seems that you know who I am. Hence, I won't make it complicated. You two will let me through or else I will throw all of these bombs towards the resort!" I said as I brought out four bombs in total, holding them in between my fingers.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me just relay your arrival to the nobles." The tall and lanky Chunin waved his hands before running into the resort. He didn't want to go against Sasuke because if the rumors of his insanity were true, he would really throw those disgusting bombs.

…

Minutes flew by, and the lanky Chunin came back to guide Karin and I into a meeting room.

"So this is Sasuke Uchiha."

"I must say that your battle was amazing."

"If you want to marry my daughter, I wouldn't mind."

Three fat nobles each sat on their own chairs, continually praising Sasuke.

"Shut the fuck up, you fat turds! I've come here to do business. Not to hear you licking my foot!" I had no patience for these people. If these nobles can't give me a satisfactory contract, I would leave them and try to find other nobles.

If the information about the nobles are right, there should be 13 noble groups from all over the Land of Fire. There's only three noble groups in this resort, and they don't look like much.

"Fuck!" The fat nobles cursed. This isn't how someone should do business.

"I'll be blunt with all of you. I have four concoctions with me. You've already seen the Pepper Concoction and the Shit Bomb Concoction. I have two more types of Concoctions with me and they are the Laxative and Aphrodisiac Concoction. I'm going to sell them as a bundle. 50 million Ryo upfront and 50% Royalty for each unit you sell afterwards."

"No way!"

"That's too expensive!"

"If you make 10 million Ryo and a 5% Royalty, I will do business with you right now."

Except for one person the other two nobles shook their heads. 50 million Ryo is an insane amount. To compare it with missions, it's like asking for 50 S-ranked missions from Konoha.

I ignored the two who refused to budge and looked at the person who haggled.

"40 million and 30%." I plainly said to him.

"10 million and 3%! Don't you try to bargain with me, Uchiha." The fat noble felt smug. After all, he isn't afraid of Sasuke because the Uchiha clan currently only has him.

I squinted my eyes at all three fat nobles and turned around with Karin. I don't need to waste my time with these poor people.

But before I left, I grabbed a Laxative bomb and threw it into the room. From how I see it, I'm doing them a service by helping them lose weight.

"FUCK YOU, SASUKE!"

"I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN TO THE VILLAGE ELDERS!"

"OUUU!! NOO!! SHIT IS COMING OUT!!"

Screams of horror echoed from the meeting room of the nobles.
