Chapter 009: Are we going to have a meal

Rest assured, everything has been prepared according to your requirements

However, this feeling does not seem bad; viewing oneself from different perspectives, what do you think

Without money, it is very difficult for you to even survive in society

I ... ...

An offer that cannot be refused, you seem to be increasingly understanding what 'trade' means

However, one must not be careless. Although a slight initiative has been gained for the time being, the opponent is after all Orochimaru, and any oversight could lead to problems. Moreover, there is still the task entrusted by Lelouch that needs to be addressed

Upon hearing Yuan Man's response, Orochimaru shook his head in regret

Good

I never expected that I would have a day of worrying about money, it is truly a novel feeling

After briefly examining the world map and the population situation in China, Orochimaru quickly understood the current state of affairs and recognized the reality—he was no longer the super ninja capable of summoning winds and rains; without Yuan Man's permission, he was not much different from an ordinary person

Indeed, how could I not have thought of that? Orochimaru, you truly are a genius

Even when power is restricted, the instincts of living beings seem to be preserved. Is it a loophole in the agency's regulations? Or is it a reasonable clause that has intentionally not been accounted for

What role do you want me to play, and what about Coser

The hissing sound emerged from the corner of the bathroom, as a water snake, commonly found in the south, poked its head out from the corner, flicking its tongue at Orochimaru, before quickly retreating into the darkness

Is there "Naruto"?

... ...

In addition to the lack of understanding of this world, he does not know how to find a job or how to make money; the only person he can rely on is Yuan Man

There is a comic convention tomorrow, and I will go to assist my friend with filming and photography

Money is not everything, but without money, one cannot achieve anything

A simple character, yet it is one of the most important and indispensable things in this world

It can also be understood this way

Orochimaru said, taking out two pieces of clothing from his personal backpack, and walked into the bathroom

I am truly a fool; strength is not something that can be chosen. Given my current situation, I must make do with whatever I have—yet I prefer not to think about it. It is more appropriate to wash up and sleep. First, I need to take care of the matters related to the comic convention—I have to earn a living, after all. Now there is an additional mouth to feed, and the agency does not provide meals.

I understand, I am playing myself

Orochimaru did not mind: "Indeed, I prefer dealing with intelligent people over fools, as it saves both parties time and effort. How much money can I exchange for my chakra training method?"

Yuan Man: "I knew it. We simply cannot avoid scheming; can we not be open and honest?"

It sounds good, shall we proceed with this?

This time, Orochimaru was speechless: "What... what have I done?"

No, you do not need to do anything, just be yourself

There is no need for reminders, as our collaboration is not a matter of just once or twice

Hello, how are you

As he pondered, Yuan Man smiled again, despising himself.

In the later stages of Naruto, when those major bosses had not yet appeared, Orochimaru could essentially be considered the highest level ninja. In any industry, reaching the pinnacle is impossible without financial resources

... ... Wait a moment, someone is looking for me

No, you don't need to act, just be yourself, like the villain Orochimaru from "Naruto"

I have thought of a way for you to make money

Is that related to the comic convention

Good, see you tomorrow, looking forward to your performance tomorrow

People in our world imitate characters from the second dimension, which includes figures from animations, comics, novels, and films, and sell related merchandise, promoting cultural exhibitions and gatherings.

How should I put it, there is a strong impulse to change the name of the firm to "Super Dimensional Black Shop"

Seeing himself in the mirror, still dressed in the ninja attire, Orochimaru suddenly felt a bit like laughing

Can one make money? This is what Orochimaru is most concerned about

Money

The illustrious 'Three Ninjas', a prodigy who has been in the spotlight since childhood, performing for money. The Super Dimensional Agency... I am starting to like it here

At this point, Yuan Man suddenly froze and instantly stood up from the computer chair

... ...

Yes, yes, I understand. I will arrive early

The entrance to the bathroom features a washbasin, with a mirror installed above it

What is a comic convention

Let's do it this way! Yuan Man nodded in satisfaction, "I will take a shower and then go to sleep. I need to get up early tomorrow, you—"

I see, I actually wanted to use you for an experiment, but unfortunately

Looking back, he has never worried about money throughout his life. Even after defecting from Konoha in the future, he still managed to establish the Sound Ninja Village through his own efforts, demonstrating the considerable strength of his financial resources.

When Yuan Man was deep in thought, the phone screen lit up, indicating an incoming call

"With an assistant like you, it's impossible not to understand." Yuan Man smiled knowingly.

Indeed, the office does not provide meals. Orochimaru used to rely on food brought back from the Naruto world or from other worlds to satisfy his hunger

"Are you going out tomorrow?" asked Orochimaru as he saw Yuan Man put down his phone

I also want to rest early. After my abilities were restricted, my physical strength has declined significantly, and I haven't felt this fatigued in a long time

... ...

Not much. Although I am very interested in ninjutsu, it seems that training to become a ninja requires a long time, and I am not even sure if I can cultivate chakra

Then what do you suggest we do, the initiative is in your hands

This is indeed a good suggestion, but it is temporarily impossible to determine its value before examining Nanali's condition

In a bedroom separated by a door and two walls, Yuan Man, completely unaware that a snake has entered the house, is also laughing, for reasons similar to those of Orochimaru

Yes, this is a major IP, a highly popular comic, and there are always quite a few people who cosplay it

Indeed

Yuan Man stared at Orochimaru with shining eyes, making the latter feel somewhat uncomfortable. Until now, only he had used such a gaze to scrutinize others, particularly when observing experimental subjects.

The world referred to as "three-dimensional" by Yuan Man is not the world of "Naruto," as it has vast undeveloped areas that allow you to obtain what you need for living and be self-sufficient

It is the universal standard of value in this world, the simplest and most straightforward value system

Alright. Then, as per the usual practice, it will be deducted from the payment for treating Nanali

Of course, how could it not be possible? Although I may not have a lot, it will definitely be enough for you to buy a few medical books

I see now

Then you go take a shower first, and if there are any appliances you don't know how to use, remember to call me

As she laughed, Yuan Man could no longer smile

It seems that I need to consider acquiring power as soon as possible, and I hope to encounter a client willing to trade power. If I obtain power... although it may not necessarily be useful, it would provide some comfort. What kind of power would be suitable for me?

Yuan Man let out a soft "hm" and glanced at the neatly arranged long guns and short cannons in the corner of the wall
