Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

After entering Konoha, there was almost nothing that Mo Congfeng accomplished independently, which made Mo Congfeng feel extremely embarrassed.

After a simple tidy up, Mo Congfeng suggested treating Miss Shizuka to a good meal to express his and the children's gratitude, and Shizuka reluctantly agreed!

Mo Congfeng chose a high-end-looking barbecue restaurant near his rental house. The environment of the barbecue restaurant was very good, but it had few customers and was relatively quiet. The noisy children gradually quieted down once they entered the restaurant.

The group had a simple meal, and the children were quite happy with the meal. After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Shizuka told Mo Congfeng that the barbecue restaurant was owned by the Akimichi clan, and that he should come less often in the future and save money because there would be many other places to spend money in the future. Mo Congfeng could only say "hmm".

Shizuka continued to remind him that although the bonus for A-level missions was very high, it was slightly lower than usual during the war, with as much as 200,000, but A-level missions were also very dangerous, and for ordinary ninjas, it was basically like exchanging their lives for money! A barbecue meal would cost thousands of taels, nearly 10,000 taels, which was still a bit extravagant. In ordinary ramen restaurants, a bowl of noodles only cost about 40 to 60 taels, and the top deluxe version was only 100 taels.

Mo Congfeng knew that he had the least experience in this kind of life, so he could only nod to indicate that he would listen to Shizuka. Soon, the group arrived at the door of the rental house. It was already getting dark at this time, so Mo Congfeng suggested that he put the children back home to rest and take Shizuka home himself.

Shizuka declined, saying that her home was very close to here and pointed out the direction of her residence. Mo Congfeng looked and saw that it was indeed not far away, so he couldn't insist and had to give up.

Back in the rented room, Mo Congfeng looked at the dim room and regretted not preparing candles or oil lamps! However, the children skillfully pressed the switch and turned on the lights in the room, and the bright light caught Mo Congfeng's eyes.

Mo Congfeng had seen such lights before. That was when he was injured and receiving treatment from a medical ninja. Mo Congfeng originally thought that it was very advanced medical equipment, but he didn't expect that it had already been popularized in every household in Konoha!

Mo Congfeng turned on the switch twice, tried the light, understood how to use it, and sighed repeatedly, saying that Konoha was really a prosperous place. He wondered if the five major countries had all developed to this level. In comparison, the Ming Dynasty was still very backward in this regard.

Mo Congfeng realized that in addition to ninjutsu, there are many other things in the ninja world that are worth understanding and learning! This magical energy that makes the lights light up, maybe he can also master and use it!

Mo Congfeng noticed that the light outside the window was also on, so he moved to the window and looked out. He saw that Konoha under the light was still so peaceful and tranquil, full of the atmosphere of a desirable life. Mo Congfeng was full of hope for life here!

The children simply packed their bedding, washed their faces and rinsed their mouths, and lay on the floor to rest! Mo Congfeng felt that he didn't recognize these children. In just one month, the children had changed from country children to well-behaved and clean city children. This is a good thing, Mo Congfeng thought, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Mo Congfeng followed the children's example, washed up, and prepared to lie down to sleep. He was not used to this way of sleeping. It was okay during the war, but when there was peace and stability, Mo Congfeng wanted to have a bed!

Mo Congfeng had just laid down when Lingxia spoke, "Uncle Momo, let's go buy some things tomorrow. We need toothpaste and toothbrushes!"

Mo Congfeng knew what toothpaste and toothbrushes were. The rich families in the Ming Dynasty also had these things, but he was not sure whether they were the same as those in the ninja world. "Okay, buy it. Buy eight and give one to each person!"

Having just promised Lingxia, Ah Chu spoke again, "We also need soap and a towel."

Mo Congfeng had never heard of soap, so he thought it must be a necessity in life. "Okay, buy it, buy soap and towels!"

Mo Congfeng agreed to Lingxia and Achu's requests one after another. The children were very excited and put forward various demands, such as cups and washbasins. Mo Congfeng thought about his huge sum of more than 500,000 taels and the 50,000 yuan he had borrowed from Hatake Sakumo before, and thought about how much the children's demands would cost, so he agreed to all of them!

After agreeing, he felt a little regretful. Thinking about the fact that the children were going to study at the Ninja School, it would probably cost a lot of money! Thinking of this, Mo Congfeng remembered Miss Shizuka's good advice during the day. He should save money because there would be many places to spend money in the future!

No, Mo Congfeng suddenly woke up, he was tricked by Shizuka, he fell into Shizuka's trap! In fact, he didn't have to maintain this kind of relationship with the children. He could just foster the children in Konoha's welfare institution, and then give them a little help from time to time. Spending money is a small matter, but it can save a lot of his energy! Although it's a bit cruel to think this way, it was indeed Mo Congfeng's original plan!

Shizuka took advantage of herself when she first entered Konoha and was at a loss. Then, she didn't refuse in her subconscious mind, so she half-heartedly carried the children on her back. This was Shizuka's purpose. Although she didn't give her surname to the children, from today on, she and the children were completely connected to form a family! She also completely shouldered the responsibilities of her father that she didn't want to bear!

But now that things have come to this, what else can he do? Mo Congfeng asked himself if he had the courage to abandon the children! When he thought of the various responsibilities that the children would have to face, Mo Congfeng felt upset.

The next morning, it was Miss Jingxiang who woke Mo Congfeng up. Mo Congfeng opened his eyes and saw Miss Jingxiang carrying a large bag of buns into the room. The children had already woken up and were circling around Miss Jingxiang.

Miss Shizuka smiled slightly, "Lazy boy, why do you get up even later than the kids? You should set a good example for the kids!" Mo Congfeng saw some cunning and conspiracy in Shizuka's smile at this moment!

After a simple breakfast, Miss Shizuka began to instruct the children to clean the room and put away the sundries in the room. Mo Congfeng looked at the busy Shizuka and felt a different feeling in his heart. He silently and gently forgave Shizuka's behavior yesterday!

Mo Congfeng tidied his clothes, waited for the children to finish their work, and then prepared to take the children out to shop, and Miss Shizuka was also to follow.

Mo Congfeng asked curiously, "Why? Miss Shizuka, why don't you use your free time to practice? It would be good to refine the chakra a little and increase the amount of chakra!"

Shizuka smiled bitterly, "I'm already nineteen years old, and my potential has been basically exhausted. Even after practicing for a long time, it's hard to increase my chakra. The only way to practice is to heal. By repeatedly releasing medical ninjutsu to heal the wounded, I can barely improve my medical ninjutsu level and chakra!"

Shizuka stared at Mo Congfeng carefully, "A ninja like you is simply a miracle! Tell me, how old are you? Can you still significantly increase the amount of chakra through training?"

"Twenty-six!" Mo Congfeng answered Shizuka's first question but refused to answer the second question!

"Wow, it's so much bigger than mine!" Shizuka exclaimed, and then changed the subject, "The abnormal growth of your chakra will become a problem for you sooner or later. There will be many people interested in you, so you have to be careful!"

Mo Congfeng understood this principle, but he was also wondering, if the "Bao Yuan Jue" was obtained by other ninjas, would it have the same chakra growth effect?

In the second half of the morning, Mo Congfeng and Shizuka took the children to the street to do some shopping and bought all the daily necessities, many of which refreshed Mo Congfeng's knowledge. At Shizuka's strong suggestion, Mo Congfeng bought himself an extra set of razors and the matching shaving cream.

At noon, Shizuka asked to invite Mo Congfeng and the children back and took them to have a ramen meal.

In the afternoon, Mo Congfeng asked the children to continue practicing the twelve hand seals and chakra refinement in order to adapt to the study and life in the future ninja school. Mo Congfeng arranged everything and prepared to visit Hatake Sakumo. When he was about to leave, Miss Shizuka said, "We still have to buy a house!"

"What?" Mo Congfeng, who was putting on his shoes at the entrance, looked back in confusion.

"I said I want to buy a house, preferably an independent house with a large yard!" Miss Shizuka said calmly, "Because after the child enters the ninja school, he will need a training ground, and this rented suite is obviously not enough! Although there is a special training ground in the village, it is only open to ninjas who serve as teachers for free. Even the squad leader of a class can use the training ground for free. Other ninjas have to find the training grounds themselves."

"If the children enter the Ninja School, they will get a teacher, right? Isn't it enough to let the children train under the teacher?" Mo Congfeng asked doubtfully.

"That's true, but that little training time is not enough. Can you bear to see the children fall behind their classmates because of insufficient training?" Miss Shizuka answered calmly, as if she had been through it herself!

"You just said that ninjas have to find their own training grounds. Where are those places?" Mo Congfeng put on his shoes, but was not in a hurry to leave. He felt that there was a huge trap waiting for him in Shizuka's words!

"Generally there are three options. The first is to pay to use the village's professional training grounds. However, in order to ensure that teachers or class leaders can use the training grounds normally, the fees for using professional training grounds are very high!"

"The second way is to go to a place a little further away from the village and find a deserted place to train. The problem is that the village guards can't reach there, and there are certain dangers, including wild beasts and even ninjas from the same village!"

"As for the third method..." Miss Shizuka hadn't finished speaking when Mo Congfeng interrupted her and said, "The third method is to buy a house, a house with a large yard! So how much does such a house cost?"

Miss Shizuka thought for a moment, "It will probably cost one million taels. The real estate business is mainly run by the Sarutobi clan, to which the Third Hokage belongs. It is the most profitable and important business in the entire Konoha. The Sarutobi clan has a unique summoning beast, the Sarumo clan, which is a powerful helper in real estate construction!"

Mo Congfeng suddenly suspected that Miss Jingxiang was still engaged in the dental business, "But I don't have that much money! I can only do more tasks to save up!"

Miss Shizuka smiled slightly, "The Sarutobi clan also runs a home loan business. To buy a house, the down payment can be 30% of the total price of the house, and the remaining payment can be paid annually. It will take about 30 years to pay it off completely! Of course, this is all calculated with interest."

Miss Shizuka paused, "I still suggest that you pay 50% of the total price of the house as a down payment, and then pay the remaining amount annually. It only takes ten years to pay it off, which is also consistent with the basic service period of a ninja. I think these problems are only temporary problems for Mo."

Mo Congfeng asked about the interest rate and the method of interest calculation. Wow, it was close to the beheading interest rate in the Ming Dynasty law! Mo Congfeng became more and more suspicious of Miss Shizuka's role in this process!

Miss Shizuka continued, "The children can train in my courtyard for now, but this is only temporary! This is how I bought my house, and the payment method is a 50% down payment and ten years of installments! These are my personal suggestions, so please think about it carefully!"

Miss Jingxiang's last words dispelled Mo Congfeng's doubts. Miss Jingxiang would not work in a real estate agency. She might just have experience in buying houses. Mo Congfeng promised to think about it carefully and turned to leave.

This time, Mo Congfeng chose to jump on the roofs of Konoha and indeed found many single-family houses with independent yards. Mo Congfeng quickly found the neighborhood that Hatake Sakumo mentioned, and then after searching and asking around, he finally found Hatake Sakumo's home.

After knocking on the door and entering, Mo Congfeng was led to the courtyard of the house, where Hatake Sakumo was taking a three or four-year-old boy for simple exercise. After seeing Mo Congfeng's arrival, Hatake Sakumo stopped exercising and greeted Mo Congfeng enthusiastically.

Hatake Sakumo wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, "Mo, this is my son Kakashi. In a week, it will be the 41st anniversary of the founding of Konoha, and it will also be the day when the Ninja School will recruit new students. Kakashi will enter the ninja school and I'm afraid he will be in the same class as the seven children you saved."

"So early? Taiga and the others are already six or seven years old and are just preparing to enter the Ninja School. But Kakashi is going to enter the Ninja School at the age of four?" Mo Congfeng was a little surprised!

"It's not that Kakashi started too early, but that Taiga and the others started too late. However, this is normal, as children who enter school are often not of the same age. The village's resources are also limited, and there are many children who sign up to study in school. After all, becoming a ninja is the wish of most parents in Konoha, and the number of these children far exceeds the village's ability to train them." Hatake Sakumo explained slowly.

"Therefore, students will undergo a short period of basic knowledge learning in the Ninja School, and after that the Ninja School will conduct periodic examinations to determine the children's ninja talents, and then will initially screen out more than 60% of the students. That is when the elimination rate of the Ninja School is the highest, and not all students will become ninjas. Mo, you have to be prepared!" Hatake Sakumo said lightly.

Mo Congfeng had already learned from Miss Shizuka that the Ninja School's pass rate was 10%, and he had expected this!
