After leaving home, Haruki headed straight for the commercial district.
"Hey, this is the future Uchiha Itachi's favorite dumpling shop, right?" Haruki rubbed his chin and stepped inside.
After picking and choosing, he walked out of the shop with two skewers of three-colored dumplings in hand. He took a bite and muttered, "The taste is just so-so, nothing special."
He quickly finished the two skewers of three-colored dumplings, and then Haruki seriously checked out the surroundings.
There were barbecue shops, clothing stores, even casinos.
"Although everything is here, there's no hotpot or anything like that, and these clothes are way too outdated!"
But when he checked his pocket, Haruki realized his startup capital was only a measly one hundred Ryo.
He glanced at the price list hanging above Ichiraku Ramen, a bowl of ramen cost eighty Ryo, and Haruki's little face immediately fell.
Only one hundred Ryo, what could he do besides eating a bowl of ramen?
Besides, the Ninja Academy starts in three days, and I don't have that much time to work either!
"Wow—! What a cute little brother! Are you hungry standing here? Sister will treat you to ramen."
Suddenly, a little girl about Haruki's age walked out of Ichiraku Ramen, seeing Haruki's frowning face and exclaimed in surprise.
"I..."
Although he didn't recognize this little girl, he knew from the situation that she was Ayame.
But before he could explain, Ayame interrupted him, saying, "Little brother, you don't have to be shy, Ichiraku Ramen is my family's, I can treat you to ramen!"
"Father, let's treat this little brother to ramen!" Ayame pulled Haruki a few steps into the shop and said to Ichiraku.
"Hahaha." The still young Ichiraku laughed heartily and agreed. "No problem."
"I wasn't standing at the door of Ichiraku Ramen because I was hungry!"
Only then did Haruki have a chance to speak, but Ichiraku had already started making the ramen, as if there was no need for an explanation.
It was fine, he'd just pay for it after he ate. It just so happened that he was a little hungry.
So, Haruki stopped worrying and began to ponder his financial path.
Minato and Kushina had taken him in and cared for him with utmost devotion. Haruki wouldn't have the face to ask them for money.
After his pocket money was spent on ramen, he only had twenty Ryo left, enough to buy some paper, pens, and other small items.
"Whew!" Taking a deep breath, Haruki made up his mind.
Just then, Ayame arrived with a bowl of ramen, waking Haruki up.
"The ramen is here, please enjoy it."
After setting down the bowl, Ayame hid to the side, but her gaze kept lingering on Haruki's face.
This little brother is so cute, I want to rub his cheeks!
No, no, Ayame, how can you have such rude thoughts.
Shaking her little head vigorously, Ayame forced herself to turn away, no longer looking at Haruki.
Haruki, naturally, didn't know what this little girl, about the same age as him, was thinking. Determined to start his business as soon as possible, he quickly finished the bowl of ramen.
"I'm full, thank you for the treat!"
Placing the eighty Ryo on the table, Haruki thanked Ayame politely and then quickly left.
He still had things to do, are little girls as fragrant as money?
He'd think about it when she grows up into a big girl!
After leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Haruki pushed his physique to its limit, buying a pen and a notebook, spending the remaining twenty Ryo.
"Ugh! Did I spend that money too early? Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a predicament."
Touching his empty pocket, Haruki sighed.
He actually had some money, not much, but about four or five hundred thousand Ryo, but he had given it all to Kushina.
Kushina originally didn't want it, but under his insistence, she took the money to save it for him to get married.
This was the reason for Haruki's current predicament.
"But it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't have time to do those things, and I don't have anyone I can trust."
Shaking his head, he threw these thoughts out of his mind, and Haruki solemnly picked up the pen in his hand.
This was the foundation of his ability to make a fortune, he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Ninja Breaking the Sky" these four words appeared on the notebook in front of Haruki.
That's right, Haruki was planning to become a copywriter, spreading the best-selling books from his previous life into this world.
He had seen Jiraiya's "The Tale of the Ninja" at Minato's place, to be honest, it wasn't that good.
Even something like that could sell well, Haruki couldn't believe that the best-selling books from his previous life would fail!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Driven by memory and adaptation, Haruki's hand never stopped, his small figure hunched over, diligently writing.
Until Minato returned home in the afternoon, Haruki was still absorbed in his writing.
In the living room, Minato and Kushina discussed.
"I've already gotten Haruki's enrollment certificate, we'll send him to school when the Ninja Academy starts!"
Minato proudly waved the paper certificate in his hand.
"But... Haruki's chakra is very strong, wouldn't it be a bit..."
Although he didn't say it directly, Kushina understood what Minato meant.
Kushina smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, Haruki said he wanted to go to the Ninja Academy before."
Just like that, in a few words, they decided Haruki's fate for the next six years.
I wonder if Haruki would be so angry that he'd commit suicide by bumping his head against a tofu if he knew he missed a chance to change his destiny.
He did say he wanted to go to the Ninja Academy, but that was before he got the Nine-Tailed Fox's purple card, not now!
But even if he knew, Haruki would only be more grateful to Minato and Kushina.
Do you really think it's so easy to get into the Ninja Academy? The enrollment certificate in Minato's hand was extremely rare.
Otherwise, the Ninja Academy would be overcrowded, how could there be so few students?
While they were discussing Haruki's matter, rumors gradually spread throughout Konoha.
With the help of those with ulterior motives, Orochimaru's reputation grew increasingly worse, while Minato's reputation grew increasingly better.
The situation, which had originally been one-sided, was now reversed. Minato had overtaken Orochimaru, even subtly suppressing him.
Ordinary people didn't know what had happened, but some clever people understood very well, how similar this was to the time when the White Fang of Konoha, Kakashi's father, died!
Besides that, Hyuga Hizashi's wife, the mistress of Konoha's largest weapons shop, and a commoner woman were all pregnant.
Three of Konoha's future twelve shinobi had begun to be born.
Of course, they still had about ten months before they were born.
Haruki didn't know about these things, nor did he care. After an afternoon of hard work, he had written over twenty thousand words in his notebook, a truly joyous occasion!
