I sell sweets in Konoha

"If we can't even find it." Tomoko suddenly interjected: "He has been eaten up long ago, and there is no need for you to take revenge. So in this situation, either the other party is secretly preparing something to deliberately arrange it for us. Let your guard down, or release your kindness.”

Although Tomoko doesn't have much political wisdom, he must be someone who has lived through time. Have you never heard of Pig Heng Heng always eating pork?

Various palace fight scenes in previous lives have made this situation very clear.

There are only a few situations, and you can guess what the other person is thinking with just your toes.

"Huh, if that's the case," Indra said, "then he's too naive."

"I'm afraid I'm not naive." Junko said: "As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. There are too many pots and jars, so naturally they are reluctant to smash them."

There is a saying in the past life that if you are reluctant to part with these pots and pans, you will end up with nothing. 'This sentence pays attention to the scene.Under desperate conditions, it is natural to give up a lot of jars and jars, and those jars and jars are not good things either.

But it's really different now. I'm afraid not many people can give up such a huge family fortune.

"Even if he doesn't want to show goodwill to you, he still needs to show goodwill to you." Junko said confidently: "Mature leaders understand a very basic principle: don't hit the smiling person."

"It's just the three of us, and we haven't come in here. It's natural that your brother can't use swords or guns against us. Even if he has this idea, he should endure it."

"Therefore, the victory of those who are good at fighting has no reputation for wisdom or bravery, so they are not victorious. This is the mature leader."

Junko would only feel abnormal if she showed her teeth and growled at people as soon as she got up.This is normal now, first releasing goodwill, then testing each other, and finally getting into the real drama, where are we now?

"Speaking of it." Junko said suddenly.

"What is the result of your recent investigation?"

Speaking of which, if Indra hadn't mentioned this matter today, Junko would have forgotten about Indra's investigation.The investigation has passed in the past few days. I don't know the result of the investigation, but I feel that Indra seems to have become a little more mellow.Is it because the food is so good or because I ate too much?

Is glutinous rice also easy to make you fat?

"It's nothing." Indra said as if he was a little bored: "They are just the same good words, what else can they say?"

Indra went out full of confidence and came back full of disappointment.

It's not that I came back because I ate it secretly and didn't have anything to eat.But I’m really disappointed!

For a person who has a preset position in mind, it is indeed disappointing to not get the results he wants.And even if I didn't want to presuppose any position later, I just wanted to see, listen, and ask questions, I didn't find anything through investigation.

Basically that's all there is.

"Oh~" Junko responded as if she had already thought of it.

"Huh?" Indra looked at Junko's unmoved look and said, "It seems you have thought of it a long time ago?"

"Absolutely." Junko said, "This kind of investigation is really difficult to conduct."

People are very complex. They have sharp eyes, but they are also easily confused. They know what they want but are easily unable to express what they want. They can speak the simplest but true truth with great foresight. , can also be the most greedy, short-sighted and cowardly person.

If you want to tap the power of the people and understand the wisdom of the people, you can't learn it by casual shopping.

Although Indra's approach seemed to Asura to be a foot trader, to Junko he still did not put down his airs, let alone the arrogance of his emerging class, and did not understand the people deeply at all. .

Every time I go out, I almost always eat more than what is sold. ,

"You don't have to force yourself to go if you don't want to." Junko added, "Anyway, the winner will be decided in less than two days."

"Why?" Indra asked.

"Because you're here." Junko said, "When you come, a lot of things will happen. And if you don't leave for a day, it will be a troublesome thing for Asura and an unknown big problem." Bomb. This time the bomb may not blow up a common enemy, but it may blow up a person who is shattered into pieces."

"Why?" Indra asked a little confused.

"Because as the family fortune grows, people's hearts change." Junko explained, "It's just two words."

"Benefit."

Whether it is Indra at this time, or Asura who has not yet come and is planning.They have not yet understood the most basic set of demands that govern the operation of human society, namely interests.Asura tries to use love to lock people together to form a group.

And such a group can only be maintained to a small extent. Once it expands, it is the same interests that maintain the group.

Asura, who had not understood this, even if he noticed that the people around him showed different understanding this time, he still didn't know how to deal with it for a while.The influence of love that he himself was familiar with had long since lost its effectiveness.

But Asura did not choose to give up, he decided to give it a try.

This is not only the reason why Asura does not have a better way, but more importantly, it is path dependence.Once a person achieves success on a certain path, it is easy to rely on this path that made him successful.Even if he has already begun to withdraw from the environment and no longer applies, he can easily make a path that conforms to his own understanding and makes him successful.

Love and physical action made Asura successful, at least in his mind a huge success.

This allowed him to gain help from others, gain his own love, and finally reach the pinnacle of power in the Ninja Sect.And with such a huge success, it is easy for people to fall into a vicious circle and be unable to get out, even Asura is no exception.

It's just that before Indra showed up this time, he relied on his strong personal charm and connections to temporarily make the Ninja Sect look harmonious and calm.

But this time it was different, Indra was like a big bomb thrown into a pool of stagnant water.

If one is handled improperly, it will explode into a rumble.

And with his brother's awkward personality, he probably wouldn't get any good juice if he went directly to him.But this time was different, he actually brought two girls over.These two girls are not ordinary, they have good talents and their current strength is also good.

She must be her niece.

only...

Asura really couldn't figure it out. His brother had black hair, and I heard that his sister-in-law also had black hair. How did these black hair and black hair give birth to a pair of blond-haired twins?Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?

But whether it was the distortion of human nature or the loss of morals, it seemed that his brother valued these two girls very much.

I have it, and I can only find some breakthrough points from them.

But how to find some breakthroughs from them?

Now Asura himself was in trouble. Compared to children, Asura spent more time dealing with adults. Dealing with children, especially two little girls, was really not Asura's expertise.

"If you really decide to go, just go as a customer." At this moment, Kanai suddenly put forward his opinion and said: "Since they have decided to do business here, then you can be their biggest customer. And customers like you go directly to the store and they’re happy before it’s too late.”

"Besides, doesn't Asura always want to know what other people think specifically? Maybe you can see their true thoughts when you come back."

"There's no need to worry so much. Just go there. And if they don't come with any malicious intent, they will welcome you."

Chapter 121 My niece, I’m here to eat...it’s up to you.

At dawn, Indra had already put a big pot on his mobile dining cart.

In the pot is steamed rice cake.Facing this big pot of rice cakes, Indra felt a little worried. It would be a pity if he couldn't sell them all, and it would be easy for him to overeat.This steamer cake is a good thing, but good things must come in a certain measure. Besides, there is no threshold for making steamer cake.

Not to mention that you can learn it just by looking at it, but you can still come up with something that is almost the same as long as you fiddle around a few times.

After all, this thing is too simple. With that method, it may not be 100% consistent with what Junko makes, but it can be [-]% consistent.But these days, there is no such thing as a patent. Naturally, people will learn to make something that is easy to make and requires only ingredients.

After enjoying the dividends of dominating the market for a few days, Indra encountered a problem that he had never encountered before.

Of course, it is not the emergence of competing products, but the price increase of raw materials after the emergence of competing products. The increase in raw material prices also means compression of profit margins. The emergence of competing products is not a problem. The problem is that competing products are more expensive than what we sell. Being cheap further compresses profit margins.

Although steamed cakes are delicious, they are just snacks after all. Having them can make your life even better, and you won’t be able to survive without them.

Faced with the increase in competing products and costs, the rice cakes in Indra's hands were somewhat unsaleable.As a non-essential item, rich people can cook and eat it at home. People who don’t have much spare money will naturally choose the one that tastes only half a point worse but is cheaper.

Although some old customers can barely maintain the business, Indra himself has made some calculations.

With the current situation of rising costs, it is estimated that his small business will be completely bankrupt before long.

Naturally, Indra did not come here specifically to do business as a foot merchant.He actually doesn't care too much whether his business will go bankrupt, he cares more about his own frustration.It's obviously not bad, and it tastes better than other competing products.

But he was about to go bankrupt, which made Indra very unhappy but helpless.

I don’t know how many can be sold today.

Indra went to the street with some worries, and not long after he walked, a figure appeared in front of the hotel.

Asura, today's Asura did not wear the Ninja sect's iconic magatama clothes, but appeared at the door of the hotel in civilian clothes.

Rather, he listened to his wife's advice and decided to go straight to the point.But after thinking about it, I feel that something is not quite right. Although they are selling rice cakes, they are not opening a snack shop that provides tea and other things for you to eat and drink in the shop.

And this hotel is also rented temporarily. Although there is no one else, they have no plans to operate here.

It seems a bit inappropriate to come directly to the restaurant as a diner.

But other than coming to the door as a diner, Asura seemed to be unable to find a better reason and identity to come to the door.

This entanglement did not last long. Asura's wife said that it was enough to just come to the door as an ordinary person.There is no need to worry so much, it doesn't matter even if they see through it.Since he went there with good intentions, Wu He didn't have anything to worry about.

On the contrary, if you tangle over and over again, you may miss a good opportunity, and being secretive will make you appear dishonest.

After listening to his wife's words, Asura dressed himself a little more normally, put on ordinary clothes for resting and came to the place where Indra temporarily stayed.Because he did not want to see Indra directly for fear of causing any misunderstanding, Asura waited for Indra to leave before appearing.

Standing at the door, the rare tension in Asura's life appeared again.

Facing his niece, whom he had never met before, Asura really didn't know how to speak.

"Look, what am I talking about?" Before Asura knocked on the door, he heard a girl inside the door say: "I have a clever plan, how could I lose?"

"It's a wonderful calculation. Your Excellency, Zhuge Liang is still alive?" Another girl complained: "On the other hand, how can you calculate so accurately? They say that those who play politics have a dirty mind, but no one said that those who play politics will predict the future."

"Foretelling is just logical analysis and reasonable inferences and assumptions." The girl who spoke first said, "Open the door quickly and don't let anyone stand outside for too long."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the dilapidated hotel was opened.

Asura, who hadn't fully prepared his mind yet, looked directly at his two nieces, and then became dumbfounded.

"Hello~Hello~Master Asura?" It was Tomoko who opened the door.

Her perception ability is much stronger than Junko's, probably because her many years of rebel ninja life have honed her stronger chakra detection ability.Tomoko had already noticed the undisguised Asura as soon as he arrived, even though this was the first time he had come into contact with Asura.

But in the entire Ninja Sect, the only person with chakra that is as good as Indra and is similar to Indra in some places is Asura.

"Ah... um... I forgot what to say..." Asura forgot the words as soon as he started speaking. The script he had rehearsed with his wife at home was completely forgotten at this moment. back.He could only rely on his own instinct, rubbed his head and said with a silly smile: "Don't misunderstand me, I'm actually not a bad person."

"Of course we know that you are not a bad person." Junko said: "You are the 'my stupid brother' Asura in Lord Indra's mouth."

"Long story short, are you going to wait at the door?"

Of course not. Although the way of meeting was a bit unexpected and made Asura feel embarrassed, when he saw Tomoko had moved away, he knew that the other party was showing goodwill to him.Although the two girls didn't seem very polite in their words, they didn't even use too many honorifics.

Asura walked into this shabby hotel carelessly.He first took a cursory look at the hotel and then said, "I didn't expect my brother to live in this place."

"When my brother is in trouble, he can actually come to me directly." Asura said: "I really don't care about what happened in the past, but seeing my nieces in this place makes me feel very sorry."

"Niece?" Tomoko's voice was a little strange. She glanced at Junko and found that Junko didn't seem to want to tease Asura, so she said, "We are not her nieces."

"Huh?" Asura said a little surprised: "No?!"

This sentence seemed to really awaken Le Asura's feelings. The concept of settling in first and the recent events made him not notice these doubts.The chakra of these two girls is indeed far different from that of Indra, with only a slight similarity. This is not at all like the feeling of chakra between relatives, especially direct relatives.Even the kind of collateral line that is farther than the collateral line, and it seems...

Asura was a little unsure. Their chakra was mixed with a very weak and easily ignored feeling that was very similar to his own.

"You may not believe our origins, but I think if you are really willing to repair the relationship with your brother a little bit." Junko said, "I think he would be more willing to tell you our origins. "

Junko didn't plan to tell Asura directly that they came from the future, leaving a suspense that he might take the initiative to ask Indra.Maybe it could ease the relationship between him and Asura.

"Let's get straight to the point and talk about something." Junko said, "You came to us actually to test Indra, right?"

"Ah... how is that possible? I just..." Asura, whose thoughts were exposed by Junko, felt guilty and quickly tried to find some chance for himself to make amends and said: "I just..."

"No need to just." Junko waved her hand and said: "Based on what we know about you, and your upright personality, you either didn't show up, or you showed up early. If something like this appears at this time, it must have happened. There are some things that I can’t figure out, so I have to take action.”

"The only thing that can make you unpredictable now and have to do it personally is your brother Indra."

Asura's actions are really not difficult to predict. If he was still naive, he would show up immediately instead of waiting so long.If he is no longer naive and already knows how to play politics, he should understand that appearing at this time is not a good thing for him or Asura.

"But to be honest." Junko said with a mysterious smile: "Master Asura, you chose the worst time and showed up in the worst way."

"If you run back now and forget that you were here, it won't be a big problem."

"But if you wait a little longer and you can't forget it." Junko said firmly, "Then you can wait to be roasted on the fire when you go back."

"Being roasted on a fire?" Asura's heart sank, not to mention that this statement was really appropriate.He really felt like he was being roasted on a fire and couldn't get off the stage.But what makes Asura feel awkward is that if his brother said this, he would not deny it at all and would even approve of it.

Because his brother is a very talented person, even his father recognizes his talent.He believed that if he was willing to assist him, he would be able to manage the Ninja Sect better.

But the person who said this was actually just a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

This had to make Asura feel awkward and shocked.

"I didn't encounter anything." Asura said pretending not to care.

"Oh?" Junko said without caring much, "If you really don't care, then we don't care either."

"Anyway, it's you who stepped on the thunder, not us."

"Stepping on thunder?" Asura said a little doubtfully.

"Oh~ This is our way of saying it." Junko explained: "It is a metaphor for encountering hidden dangers. You may be blown to pieces at any time. Of course, you may also be maimed by the bomb. In short, there is no good fruit to eat. .”

Asura didn't say anything, he seemed to sense something was wrong.

Something is very wrong, this is not the purpose of his coming.Moreover, it was as if he had been seen through by the girl in front of him, and he could not hide his current situation and thoughts from her.
