Chapter 83 Teaching is a High-Risk Profession
Kiichiro bent down, placed his right hand on Itakura Ko's forehead, and suddenly his expression changed.
Itakura Ko's forehead was not only hot, but also had a mysterious power interfering with the chakra within Kiichiro's body.
Kiichiro felt as if the chakra within his body had turned into a bunch of mischievous children, running around everywhere.
Although he wasn't at the point where he couldn't use ninjutsu, it still made Kiichiro feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Is this some kind of bloodline limit?
Kiichiro withdrew his hand, reverting to his arrogant expression. He had already decided to bring back Itakura Ko, and at the same time, he looked at Kifuji.
"Are you familiar with this guy? Why are you helping him?"
Onifuji secretly glanced at Oniichiro before quickly lowering his head.
“I’ve spoken to Huang a couple of times, I don’t know if we’re close, but I’m worried that his illness is getting worse and I hope someone can take him away for treatment.”
"Hehe, with such an ugly face, you must be hated by everyone. Now that a handsome guy is willing to talk to you, you must be very touched and treat him as a reliable companion, right?"
Kiichiro had just imagined a scene and was about to say it when he saw Kifuji stammering and unable to speak.
"Looks like I guessed right! Don't worry, I'm a very kind person, I won't separate you."
Stop teasing Oni-fuji and take the four children away: Oni-fuji, Itakura Ko, Junya, and Kaede.
Junya and Kaede are a boy and a girl. According to Kiichiro's observation, they have always been very calm, and their temperament is probably better than that of other anxious people.
"Hopefully, we'll be lucky enough to train one of these four children to be a reliable assistant."
Of course, with the increase in wealth, Kiichiro can continue to recruit and train people. Even if these four guys don't perform well, it doesn't matter. They can be sent to help Mikuri Tomokazu manage the business.
Let Mikuri Tomokazu take the four children home, and Kiichiro leaves again to continue his consumer journey.
"Hehehe, don't be afraid. Although the young master has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is actually very gentle at heart. You will soon feel that."
Tomokazu Mikuri drove the carriage, comforting the children behind him, feeling very happy.
The young master has never had any playmates since he was a child. He spends his time exercising and learning swordsmanship. He doesn't even have a single friend now, and he is really too lonely.
The four children were still uneasy in the car. Except for Itakura Ko, who was lying down, the others huddled in a corner with their hands around their knees, filled with trepidation and anticipation for the unknown future.
Upon arriving at the manor, Tomokazu Mikuri found a doctor to treat Ko Itakura. The other three washed up, changed their clothes, and had a sumptuous dinner. Feeling at ease, they drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Oniichiro used his transformation jutsu to become the red-haired boy Sakuragi Hanamichi, then put his hands in his pockets and walked into a tall building—Higashino Bookstore.
Kiichiro looked around. There were no books in the hall, but some ninja guards stood there, looking quite formidable.
"What books would you like to buy, sir?"
A staff member saw Kiichiro and came over to ask him something.
Kiichiro asked, "I want some books related to medicine, do you have any?"
Kyosuke and Chisuke, although they had learned some medical knowledge, were not professional medical personnel after all.
The knowledge they acquire is for battlefield first aid, not for conducting various research projects.
Therefore, Kiichiro had no choice but to buy books and study on his own.
Hearing what Kiichiro said, the staff member was even happier. Medical books are very expensive, and if he could sell them, he would get a higher commission.
"Please follow me, guest!"
Knowing that a distinguished guest had arrived, Kiichiro was ushered into a small room.
Kiichiro saw that there were sealing techniques both inside and outside the room, and he didn't know whether Higashino Bookstore had set them up themselves or hired ninjas to do so.
Inside the room, the staff brought out a catalog of books, which was densely filled with hundreds of medical books.
It covers a wide range of topics, including treatment of injuries and diseases, preparation of medicines, scientific research, introductions to medical equipment and their usage.
Aside from the secrets of each ninja village, it has everything.
Seeing such a large quantity, Kiichiro's eyelids twitched.
My goodness, I never thought I'd time-traveled! I still have to study hard and continue being a test-taker!
One glance at the prices on the back of the books nearly made Kiichiro's heart stop beating!
Each one is more expensive than the last! They're ridiculously expensive!
Indeed, knowledge is wealth! My teacher wasn't lying to me!
Before coming here, Oniichiro thought he was a rich man, but when faced with this catalog, he felt like a beggar.
I really want them all!
Wiping away his drool, Kiichiro could only choose what he needed most.
"I want these books: 'Cell Extraction and Culture Techniques,' 'Complete Guide to Cell Extraction Machines,' 'Theoretical Research on Cell Variation,' and 'Research on Human Cell Diseases.' Just these four."
Kiichiro bought four books, spending all the money he had, but still asked the clerk, "Hey, do you have any ninjutsu books here?"
The staff member knew that making a good profit from recording Oniichiro's voice would be lucrative, so he chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry, we have an agreement with the Cloud Ninja that we can't sell ninjutsu books. However, I know an underground auction house that should have what you need."
Hey, if you, a nobody, know about underground auction houses, then this auction house is anything but underground.
It's likely that this auction house is just a front for the bookstore owner, used specifically for shady business.
There are countless rogue ninjas in the ninja world. As long as there is money to be made, most rogue ninjas will not care about the interests of the village. They will sell the village's information and ninjutsu for money without any guilt.
Selling to other ninja villages is selling, selling to merchants is also selling. Higashino Bookstore is so rich, it must have acquired a lot of good stuff.
Of course, Kiichiro is now penniless and can't buy anything at the auction house, so he has to go back to making money.
"Sigh, what's the next big thing? Ever since I made a fortune in the grain business, the feeling of slowly making money is just too painful."
Back at the manor, Mikuri Tomokazu walked over cheerfully and told him about the four children's situation. Kiichiro couldn't help but press his forehead.
This is another troublesome matter. How to raise children, how to nurture them, how to ensure their loyalty—Kiichiro has absolutely no experience with these things.
"Or, like in movies and TV shows, treat them cruelly, making them fight wild beasts and enemies from a young age?"
"However, this is the method used by the main villain. The henchmen he cultivates are often lured away by the protagonist of justice, and they will betray him at the crucial moment. It doesn't seem very safe."
"How about learning from upright people? Let me think about who takes on apprentices. Uncle Nine, who catches zombies, but his two apprentices are useless. How about learning from Jiraiya? He himself was killed by his apprentices."
"Speaking of Jiraiya, it seems that being a teacher in the Naruto world is a high-risk profession. The Third Hokage and Jiraiya are typical examples. They put in a lot of effort to teach one good disciple after another."
That night, Oniichiro had a nightmare in which he dreamt of Onifu and three others who discovered his secret and purpose, and then attacked him.
"I'm sorry, Kiichiro-sensei, the ninja world doesn't need a new Otsutsuki!"
We will always love you!
The four traitors claimed to love Kiichiro, but their actions were ruthless. They stabbed him four times, leaving eight holes in his body, each cut fatal, turning Kiichiro into a hedgehog.
