Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 15 Recruiting Kurenai Yuhi

[Ding! You have completed one marching activity. Marching experience +1, general experience +1, current level LV1 (2/100)]

[Ding! You have completed 40 breathing exercises, gaining +120 breathing experience and +40 general experience. Current level: LV3 (120/500)]

Leaving the school, performing, eating ramen, and returning to school took a total of 1 hour.

I couldn't maintain the focus while eating and dancing, and ultimately only managed to stay in a state of focused breathing for 40 minutes. I then performed the breathing technique 40 times in a row, and my experience level reached 120.

Each breathing activity now grants 3 experience points, 180 per hour, and the remaining 380 experience points will only take a little over two hours.

Back in the classroom, many children had already slept, but many others were still playing outside, full of energy, and the teacher didn't seem to care.

Kurenai sat in her seat, seemingly flipping through a book, but judging from the way she kept glancing around, it was clear she wasn't really paying attention.

Upon seeing Hinata Ningyuan, the little girl's red eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up.

"Did you go to eat? If not, I've left some here!"

How could I possibly give such a wonderful wife to Asma?

"I ate!" Ning Yuan quickly replied, "Look at my teeth, there are still vegetable leaves on them!"

"Ugh, how disgusting!" Kurenai Yuhi turned her head away in annoyance, though she felt a little more relaxed.

Ning Yuan pulled Xi Ri Hong down to sit and whispered, "You have no idea what I found out outside!"

"What did you find?" Kurenai asked curiously.

"I've discovered a way to make money!" Ning Yuan said earnestly.

"Huh?" Kurenai was taken aback. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of making money. After all, making money was a very distant concept for a five-year-old!

"I've noticed that new shops occasionally open in Konoha's commercial district, but because the villagers don't trust them, these new shops have no customers!" Ning Yuan said earnestly. "That's when it's my turn to step in!"

"What can you do?" Kurenai Yuhi felt that ninja academy students shouldn't be making money, but she couldn't resist her curiosity!

"I can sing and dance at the temple entrance, which will attract a lot of onlookers. They'll gather at the shop entrance, and wouldn't it be reasonable for them to come in and browse and make a purchase?" Ning Yuan said. "I can't sing and dance for free; the shop owner should pay me. That way, I get money, and the shop owner gets customers—a win-win situation!"

"This," Kurenai thought for a moment, and it seemed quite reasonable.

This is certainly reasonable, as it is a proven method of making money in modern times. From small family performance groups to big stars, everyone can make money this way.

"Would you like to try working with me?" Ning Yuan asked. "We can split the profits fifty-fifty!"

Ning Yuan couldn't make much money by performing in shopping malls, so he mainly wanted a reasonable way to practice dancing and also let Xi Ri Hong practice.

This girl's only skill is illusion magic; her actual strength is quite lacking.

Although she doesn't have a system, at most her cultivation speed will be slower, but she will still see results after five or six years of practice.

Moreover, although she survived until after the war, at that time she was the daughter-in-law of the Sarutobi family, and Hiruzen Sarutobi would naturally not let her go to her death.

If the lover were to become Hinata Neon, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Huh?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback. "Making money? Aren't we students? We should be focusing on our studies. Making money is for adults!"

When it concerned her, Kurenai finally asked the question.

"Is your family very rich?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Um..." Kurenai thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Not exactly rich!"

Although Kurenai Yuhi is a Jonin, and Jonin should not be short of money, it is now a peaceful era, and there are not many high-level missions for him to carry out.

He is also a genjutsu-type Jonin.

In peacetime, the earning efficiency of a genjutsu-type Jonin might not actually be as high as that of a Byakugan Jonin.

The advantage of Kurenai Yuhi over the Hyuga clan is that he, as a Jonin, has no superiors, so all the money he earns is his own, and the Yuhi clan only has three members, so their expenses are not high.

Overall, it's not the best, but it's better than the worst.

"Look, your family isn't well-off, why don't you try to share some of the burden?" Ning Yuan said. "As for the schoolwork, we can only take orders on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can still attend classes on school days!"

"This," Kurenai Yuhi scratched her head.

"Don't you want to have your own money and buy the things you like?" Ning Yuan asked again.

Who wouldn't want that!

So many beautiful clothes, delicious food, I want everything on the street.

However, Kurenai was a sensible girl. She knew her father had a hard life, so she never asked him for these things.

But if I can earn money myself.

"Once you can earn your own money, you can not only buy things you like, but you can also buy things for your father. He takes such good care of us; don't you want to make things easier for him?"

Kurenai blinked, imagining herself buying a gift for her father with the money she had earned, and seeing how happy he would be. Her face already showed obvious interest.

Thinking of my father's face, always etched with worry about making a living...

Yes, if I could earn my own money, I could not only buy whatever I wanted, but I could also buy things for my father.

"I understand!" Kurenai nodded emphatically. "What should we do?"

Five-year-old children are really easy to fool, and of course, this trick only worked because Yuhi Kurenai is a filial daughter.

Hyuga Neon smiled and said, "In that case, we first need to form a group, otherwise we won't know how to promote ourselves outside!"

Kurenai nodded emphatically. She knew absolutely nothing about this line of work, so naturally she would do whatever Hinata Neon said.

"Let's call it the Starlight Art Troupe, meaning 'shining stars'!" Hinata Ningyuan said. "I'll be the troupe leader, and you'll be the vice-leader!!"

"Mmm!" Kurenai Yuhi nodded. The vice-captain sounds impressive.

"Next, I'll make some flyers, and we'll distribute them at the Hokage Building!" People from all over the Land of Fire come to the Hokage Building to post missions, and distributing flyers there is the fastest way to make the Starry Art Troupe famous.

"Once the flyers are handed out, our reputation will naturally spread, and then we can just wait to get orders and make money!"

Kurenai looked on in surprise: "Is it really that simple?"

"Of course not!" Hinata Ningyuan shook his head: "Since it's an arts troupe, of course they have to have something to do. I'm asking you, can you sing?"

Kurenai shook her head awkwardly, "I don't think I know how!"

"Can you dance?" Hinata Neon asked again.

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head again, seemingly unable to do it either!

"So before taking orders, we need to improve our sales skills!" Hinata Ningyuan said. "We get out of school at 4:30 pm, and since we have nothing to do at home anyway, we might as well stay at school and practice dancing for three hours before leaving!"

Kurenai nodded, but then, as if remembering something, said, "But my dad tells me to go home early after school!"

"Just tell him you're staying at school for training!" Hyuga Ningyuan said. "As a reserve ninja, of course you need to seize the time to study and strengthen yourself so you can better carry out missions and serve the people of the Land of Fire!"

"Are you going to lie?" Kurenai frowned. For a well-behaved girl, lying was nothing.

"If he agrees to you learning dance and making money, then of course there's no need to lie!" Hinata Ningyuan said. "So, does he support you?"

"This..." Kurenai thought for a moment. Although her father was open-minded enough, he probably wouldn't support her giving up being a good student to go dancing or something.

"Besides, this isn't exactly lying. It's just that you're not letting him know for now. Once you've made some money and bought him a gift, you can tell him the truth then. Will he still object then?" Hinata Ningyuan said with a smile.

Kurenai nodded, "That seems to make sense?"

Little did she know that being a star is addictive. Once you get used to the attention and cheers of others, and the life on stage, it's hard to imagine her returning to her original, simple life.

That's really difficult!

Then it won't be Hyuga Neon pulling Yuhi Kurenai to dance anymore; it will be Yuhi Kurenai herself who won't want to leave!
