Chapter 3 I Understand
At this moment, looking at Naruto grinning foolishly, Akali had no idea that she had already become Naruto's godmother.
Naruto makes money too quickly from filming, and he also generates emotional value during filming, so Akali won't give up on him.
Looking at Naruto, Akali continued, "So what do you think about this approach?"
"Let's put it this way, Naruto, are you still willing to continue?"
"This……"
Asking whether or not to continue stumped Naruto.
To be honest, he was unwilling.
After all, what attracts Naruto the most is ninjutsu.
But Akali is also from a commoner background, so it's impossible for her to give him unlimited ninjutsu. If she did, she wouldn't be a foster mother, she would be a biological mother!
So Naruto doesn't care about money.
He doesn't have a great need for money. Akali's current 100,000 ryo is enough for him to buy a good set of equipment and prepare for his future ninja career.
Most importantly, transforming into a woman and striking all sorts of seductive poses... it's so embarrassing!
Furthermore, this differs from seduction, which involves actively teasing the other person—it's a prank. Taking photos, on the other hand, involves the other person paying to have their pictures taken.
Naruto wanted a cool ninja career, to be a hero like the Fourth Hokage who saved Konoha, not a teacher that everyone praised!
Akali, seeing that Naruto remained silent, roughly understood his thoughts.
Naruto had no need for what she said.
If there's no need, of course I won't be moved by her words!
It doesn't matter, if there's no demand, then we'll create demand!
Akali lightly touched the ground with her toes, like a gentle breeze blowing past Naruto.
By the time Naruto reacted, Akali had already taken out his kunai from his ninja tool pouch, her slender fingers threading through the ring at the end of the kunai and spinning it continuously.
Seeing this, Naruto became somewhat nervous: "What are you going to do?"
Is Akali planning to force a confession from him because he won't agree?
Akali didn't answer, but instead brought up something else: "You want to defeat Sasuke, right? Do you think you can defeat him?"
“Of course!” Naruto nodded, his attention immediately shifting to Sasuke when the topic turned to him.
However, Akali merely curled her lips into a mocking smile at Naruto's confidence.
The curve was so obvious that Naruto could see it even through his mask.
Akali stopped spinning her kunai and placed Naruto's kunai between the two of them.
"Look at this kunai, Naruto!"
"What?" Naruto was a little confused about Akali's meaning.
"What I mean is, you're like this kunai; from a distance, it doesn't look like much, but if you look closely..."
Akali placed the kunai in front of Naruto.
Under the still-sunlight, the tiny nicks and scratches on the kunai blade were so obvious!
Even the sharpest tip of the kunai has long been chipped and dulled due to excessive repeated use!
Then, before Naruto could even take another look, Akali tossed his kunai up on the ground!
Naruto looked up, his gaze following his kunai.
At the same time, Akali swiftly pulled out a kunai produced by the system and slashed heavily!
"when!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out!
To Naruto's astonishment, his kunai was like butter meeting a hot knife, easily cut in two!
Akali's voice continued: "You're like this kunai. From afar, it looks fine, but if you look closely, you'll see it's full of scars and is no longer of any use."
"With another gentle slash, it will be easily severed!"
"Naruto, you said you want to defeat Sasuke? But the Uchiha clan has a special ninja cat clan that is responsible for crafting ninja tools. The quality of ninja cat tools is world-renowned, and the ones he can use are the best of the best!"
"Your kunai can't even hold up against my cheap stuff, do you think you can get away with Sasuke's premium kunai?"
"To be honest, it's already an honor for you that Sasuke is willing to engage in close combat with you!"
"How many kunai do you have in your bag? Five? Six?"
"But Sasuke can easily fill his bag with ninja tools, at least twenty or more!"
"He doesn't even need to fight in close combat; he can take you down with just his ranged ninja tools!"
"Do you understand, Naruto? This is the power of money!"
"I won't even go into details about the medicinal meals Sasuke eats and the medicinal baths he takes every day!"
"Of course, you can say that you have some money now, but have you ever considered the prices of goods?"
"An explosive tag costs two thousand taels, a fuma shuriken costs three thousand taels, and a ninja sword costs five thousand or even tens of thousands! Shuriken and kunai are generally priced between three hundred and five hundred taels, while high-quality ones cost eight or nine hundred."
"I won't go into details about ration pills, storage scrolls, and armor."
"One hundred thousand taels, is that enough for you to replenish your ninja tools a few times?"
Akali's words were very blunt: "Naruto, what will you use to fill the gap of money's power?"
“This…” Naruto fell silent again.
It just so happened that it was dinnertime, and a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a touch of the warmth of everyday life.
Naruto's forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had been in a different world.
Yes, Sasuke may be an orphan, but he inherited a huge fortune from the Uchiha clan at birth. Compared to such a true young master, how can an orphan like him, who relies entirely on subsidies, compare?
So, under Akali's words, Naruto wavered drastically!
One thing that cannot be said to outsiders is...
Naruto, the one person he absolutely didn't want to lose to was Sasuke!
So Naruto looked at Akali with unusual seriousness:
"So, if I have money, will I be able to defeat Sasuke?"
Akali's lips curled slightly beneath her mask, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "Of course not."
"Huh?" Naruto was stunned by Akali's words.
No, why is she not playing by the rules?
[Ding! Naruto's emotional value +999!]
Fortunately, Akali didn't continue teasing Naruto.
"Money equals power, but it is not the same as power. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for ninjas to stop training and all go into business?"
"Many wealthy businessmen may have money that rivals that of a nation, but they may not know how to transform that money into power!"
"They don't understand, but I do! I know how to turn money into power!"
"That way, with money, and knowing how to turn that money into power, you can defeat Sasuke!"
Do you understand?
"..."
Akali's voice, though calm, exudes boundless confidence.
A gust of wind swept by, unable to bend her ever-straight back, but playfully ruffled the strands of hair at the girl's temples.
The girl raised her slender hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, every movement so natural and effortless.
Looking at Akali like this, Naruto suddenly understood!
With that kind of confidence, Akali can probably do even the impossible!
So, looking at Akali, Naruto slowly nodded.
"I understand!"
