This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 225 Shopping

Minato Namikaze had dinner with everyone last night and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush back to Konoha overnight.

Before leaving, he handed his wallet to Kushina and told her to "have fun," then disappeared like a good man who handed over his entire salary.

After washing up, Nishikawa Tetsu walked out of his room yawning, only to find that the living room had been taken over by three red-haired girls, plus the black-haired Shizune and a pink pig.

"Brother Che! Do you think this outfit looks good?"

Chanel, dressed in a pink, trendy children's outfit from the capital, twirled in front of the mirror, her skirt billowing in the wind.

"Beautiful, beautiful."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded perfunctorily, holding two steamed buns in his hand, ready to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Kushina spread her arms, blocking his way.

Today she changed into a light purple casual outfit, and her red hair was simply tied in a ponytail, making her look youthful and energetic.

"We're going shopping today, aren't you going to give us some money as a donation?"

Nishikawa Toru clutched his pocket tightly: "Didn't Minato give you the money?"

"That's for home use. Of course, we should use public funds when we go out to play!" Kushina said matter-of-factly.

Nishikawa Tetsu really wanted to take Kushina's brain apart to see what was inside, since she spoke so bluntly about spending public funds.

Miyuki lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "I left in a hurry this time and forgot to bring any money."

"I heard there's a shop with incredibly delicious desserts, I want to try them!" Chanel raised her hand.

"Tuntun also wants to buy a new collar..." Shizune weakly raised her pig's hoof.

Looking at those four pairs of expectant eyes, Nishikawa Tetsu sighed and took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket.

"Spend it sparingly, this is my personal donation."

"Okay, I know! Che-gege is the best!"

Kana cheered, grabbed the money, and pulled Kushina and the others out the door.

……

After seeing off the shopping spree, Nishikawa Tetsu and Yahiko arrived at the construction site in the Momiji Ward.

This place has completely changed.

The massive foundation has been laid, and the reinforced concrete main structure is growing upwards at an astonishing rate.

The Akatsuki workers were incredibly efficient, scaling scaffolding and using ninjutsu to move heavy objects.

"Yahiko, how's the progress?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked, putting on his helmet.

"Very smoothly!"

Yahiko held the blueprints in his hand, a proud smile on his face.

"We worked overtime last night to lay the defensive barrier and chakra transport pipelines on the three underground levels."

"We used Earth Release: Light-Heavy Rock Technique in combination with Wind Release to directly send the top-floor steel beams up, saving a huge amount on hoisting costs!"

"Well done."

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded in satisfaction.

"Perfect timing, come take a look at this. I think the design of this building is a bit too monotonous."

Yahiko pointed to the location of the gate on the blueprint, gesturing excitedly:

"I think we should add two huge water spouts here, shaped like those gaping monsters. When it rains, water will spray out of their mouths—how awesome would that be! That's the unique feature of our Rain Kingdom!"

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the sketch Yahiko had drawn—two ferocious toad heads, which looked like they were drawn based on the summoning beasts of Mount Myōboku, spraying water directly at the main entrance.

"..."

Nishikawa Tetsu remained silent for three seconds.

"Yahiko, this is the capital of the Land of Fire, not Amegakure."

Nishikawa Tetsu placed his hand on Yahiko's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Besides, this is the State Grid building; we want something high-end, grand, and modern. You're putting two toads spitting water at the entrance..."

"Huh? Is that not good?" Yahiko was a little disappointed. "I think he's pretty cool, and Nagato said he's good too."

"Nagato is only being polite to you. Think about it carefully. Have any of your buildings in the Land of Rain adopted this kind of design?" Nishikawa Tetsu ruthlessly exposed him. "Besides, if Jiraiya-sensei saw that you turned the toads of Mount Myōboku into drainage pipes, he would cry."

"Alright, alright, let's stick to the original plan then."

Yahiko thought about it and realized that although Nagato always said his designs were good, he always ended up rejecting them with other excuses.

He reluctantly put away the sketch: "Fine, then let's stick to the original plan."

……

On the other side, the capital's commercial street.

Kushina held a skewer of grilled squid in her hand, held Kana's hand with her left hand, pulled Shizune's hand with her right hand, and followed behind Mizuki carrying large and small bags.

"Wow, this hair clip is so pretty, I'll buy it!"

"This fabric is nice. I'll buy it to make a suit for Minato!"

"This... I don't know what it is, but it looks really good, I'll buy it!"

Kushina fully embraced her shopaholic nature, leaving shop owners beaming with joy wherever she went.

"Kushina-neechan, did we buy too much?" Shizune looked at Mizuki, who was about to be submerged, with some concern.

"Not much, not much!"

Kushina said generously, "We rarely get to go out, so of course we have to shop to our hearts' content! Besides, Nishikawa Tetsu is so rich, we don't need to save him any money!"

"But……"

Mizuki said weakly, "My hand is about to break..."

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.

"Stop thief! There's a robbery!"

A dark figure darted out of a jewelry store, carrying a bag, knocking over passersby, and rushed towards Kushina.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the way!"

The thief held a knife and brandished it menacingly.

People around her were so frightened that they all scattered, but Kushina remained standing in the middle of the road, still picking out earrings from the stall.

"You strange red-haired woman! Get out of my way!" the thief roared as he charged forward.

Kushina stopped picking out earrings.

She slowly turned her head, her red hair moving without wind, and behind her seemed to burn with a tangible rage.

"You're asking... who is that strange red-haired woman?"

"Bang!"

Before the thief could react, a fist slammed into his face.

The thief spun like a top and flew out, crashing into the wall before slowly sliding down.

"Hmph! You've ruined my shopping mood!"

Kushina blew on her fist, picked up the jewelry bag from the ground, and casually tossed it to the shop owner who had rushed over.

"Pack your things."

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

"He's so handsome! Who's that lady?"

"They look like Konoha ninjas, wearing Konoha headbands."

Kana blinked at Kushina and exclaimed, "Kushina-neechan is amazing!"

"Of course!" Kushina proudly raised her chin.

"Let's go! Next stop, the dessert shop you've been looking forward to!"

……

Evening, Konoha Office.

When Nishikawa Tetsu and Yahiko dragged their tired bodies back, they were stunned by the scene before them as soon as they entered the door.

The living room was piled with all sorts of bags and boxes, leaving almost no room to step.

Kushina was lying on the sofa, rubbing her stomach, looking completely satisfied.

Kana and Shizune were unpacking gifts, while Mizuki was tidying up.

"You guys... bought the whole street?"

"Oh, don't worry about the details."

Kushina sat up and casually tossed a beautifully packaged box to Nishikawa Tetsu.

"Here, this is a gift for you."

"For me?" Nishikawa Tetsu was a little surprised and opened it to take a look.

Inside was a well-made coat, similar in style to his usual clothes, but made of significantly better fabric.

"I see your clothes are all worn out. As the vice-captain, you should pay attention to your image," Kushina said, turning her head away with a hint of arrogance. "Anyway, it's your money that's being spent."

Nishikawa Tetsuya paused for a moment, then smiled.

Thanks.

He put on the clothes, and they fit him perfectly.

"It's pretty good."

"Of course, these were handpicked by us for you!"

Kushina raised her chin smugly.

At this moment, Kana raised her hand to take credit: "I chose it first, and I feel it suits Che-gege very well."

"Okay, okay, Kana is great!" Nishikawa Tetsu patted Kana's head like he was coaxing a child.

"Yahiko, you got one too! It's in that blue bag over there."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Yahiko ran over excitedly to unwrap the gift.

Looking at the room filled with laughter and joy, Nishikawa Tetsu touched the fabric of his new clothes, and the pain in his heart subsided considerably.

Even though my wallet is empty, seeing everyone so happy...

"Fine, I'll just squeeze more funding out of the Daimyo next time."
