"Hoo~~"
In the quiet park at dawn, Vuuven stood among the tall trees, letting out a long breath. A matte-colored kunai lurked in and out of Vuuven's sleeve.
With a flick of his wrist, the sharp kunai shot out from Vuuven's sleeve.
With a "thud," the kunai burrowed into the tree trunk like a venomous snake, half of it deeply embedded. This was a hard tree trunk, yet it already possessed such destructive power. If it were soft flesh…
Vuuven gently waved his hand, and the matte-colored kunai abruptly disappeared from the tree trunk, reappearing in Vuuven´s hand. Even the lowest-grade Noble Phantasm retains its magical power.
Time flies, and three years have passed since Vuuven arrived in this world…
Vuuven smiled as he put the Time-Space Kunai back into his sleeve, turned, and walked towards Mighty's house: "Let's end today's training here. Mighty should be back soon…"
Ten minutes later, Vuuven returned to the simple house.
"Vuuven, you're back?"
Mighty squatted down, carefully sorting the various herbs in the herb basket.
Vuuven nodded, but his mind was racing. After these past few days, Vuuven had noticed that Mighty went out of the village every morning and evening to gather herbs. Mighty, despite being a ninja, was so poor, precisely because of these herbs.
Besides gathering herbs and practicing taijutsu, he had no time to complete ninja missions.
Otherwise, even as a genin, with the high salaries of ninjas, he could never live in such dire straits…
"Uncle Mighty, what are these herbs used for?"
Vuuven squinted. If his guess was correct, these herbs might be one of the important reasons for the Mighty family's success in taijutsu.
"These are for bathing!" Mighty made no attempt to hide anything, smiling as he raised his arms to show off his muscles. "After each workout, my body gets extremely tired, and that's when I need a special herbal bath!"
Hearing this, Vuuven nodded secretly: Sure enough, while the main reason for the Might family's formidable taijutsu skills was hard work, without this unique secret formula, hard work alone would be nothing but a castle in the air.
The body wouldn't be able to handle it…
"What? Vuuven, do you want to bathe with me too?"
Mighty divided the herbs, smiling as he picked Vuuven up. "It's a bit early, but if you want to train in taijutsu, you and Dai can bathe with me later!"
Hearing this, even Vuuven couldn't help but feel touched. As the saying goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts," and this applies even in the world of Naruto. Training in taijutsu obviously consumes far more resources than training in ninjutsu.
This is one of the reasons why Mighty is so poor…
He and Mighty were not related, yet Mighty allowed him to enjoy expensive herbal baths for free, diluting the effectiveness of his medicine.
"I want to learn taijutsu!"
Vuuven nodded, but quickly shook his head again: "However, I can handle the herbs myself!"
It wasn't that Vuuven was trying to be strong, but a medicinal bath alone would naturally be much more effective than three people together. Perhaps this was why the Might family was getting stronger with each generation…
Hearing Vuuven's words, Mighty didn't say anything, just scratched his head, looking somewhat confused: " little Vuuven, these herbs aren't cheap if you buy them…"
"How much will it cost?"
"One hundred thousand ryo!"
Hearing this number, Vuuven nodded slightly. This was indeed a considerable sum. A ninja might only earn one hundred thousand ryo for completing a B-rank mission.
However, Vuuven smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll handle it myself…"
Before he finished speaking, a line of text suddenly popped into Vuuven's mind:
Survival Mission: Make Money, Ninja!
Mission Content: A penny can stump a hero, a great man can live without a wife, but not a day without money. Earn ten million Ryo as quickly as possible.
Mission Reward: Unknown (changes over time). Mission Time: Unlimited.
A new mission has appeared!
Vuuven chuckled and shrugged, "The system really thinks highly of me!"
Ten million ryo is no small sum...
