This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 116 Hot Sales of Household Appliances

It's incredibly hot in Konoha today.

The cicadas were screeching desperately in the trees, the air was distorted as if it were in an oven, and the stray dogs on the street were lying under the shade of the trees with their tongues hanging out.

At the entrance of Tianxi Ninja Tool Shop, a group of sweating villagers were gathered, pointing and commenting on the buzzing white iron box on the display stand.

"Is this what you call... an air conditioner?"

An elderly woman selling vegetables stared suspiciously at the machine, fanning herself rapidly with her fan.

"I heard it needs to use electricity? What if it leaks electricity and explodes? I've heard that ninja stuff is very dangerous."

"Yes, yes," the butcher next to him chimed in, though he was drenched in sweat. "And to make a hole in the wall like that, it's such a waste. A calm mind brings coolness; we ordinary folks don't need all this fancy stuff."

The assistant supervisor in charge of sales, Da Shan, was sweating profusely and had been talking himself hoarse: "Auntie, this is powered entirely by electricity, without any chakra, it's really safe! And it's especially cool, why don't you put your hand over and try it?"

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, several Uchiha members of the police department who were taking shelter under the shade of a nearby tree came over.

The leader, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha, held a bottle of ice-cold cola in his hand and sighed with a satisfied expression:

"Oh dear, it's so hot outside. I got a bit chilly from the air conditioning in the police department office, so I need to come out and get some sun to warm up."

"That's right," a teammate chimed in. "I heard it's even more extreme at the Hokage Building; the Third Hokage is wearing a coat while reviewing documents. And the research institute is keeping the temperature constant around the clock to preserve the reagents."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers immediately perked up their ears.

"What? The police department and even the Hokage are using it?"

The vegetable vendor's eyes widened in surprise, and she stopped fanning herself.

"Then...then there's definitely no problem! The Hokage is so wise; if he dares to use something, what are we afraid of?"

The butcher slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "No wonder it's been so cool near the police station lately! It's this stuff! Even picky people like the Uchiha use it, it's definitely top-notch!"

"Give me one, no, two! I need the kind that makes my house so cold I have to wear a coat!"

"Me too! Don't push! I was here first!"

"Brother Dashan, you can drill holes in my wall all you want! You can even make it look like a sieve."

The villagers, who had just been observing, instantly turned against him, waving banknotes and overwhelming the mountain.

The saying "a calm mind brings coolness" has instantly become "money can't buy coolness" under the temptation of Naruto-themed items and the pressure of the sweltering heat.

……

Hokage Building, Hokage's Office.

It was indeed as cool and pleasant as rumored. Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back comfortably in his chair, enjoying a cup of hot tea even as the sun shone brightly outside.

"This air conditioner is really a good thing."

The Third Hokage sighed and then looked at Nara Shikaku in front of him.

"However, Shikaku, I heard that the villagers are very enthusiastic about installing air conditioners lately?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikaku earnestly reported to his superior: "The orders are already booked until next month, but... a new problem has arisen."

He came here with a mission today, so he can't be so lazy.

"What's the problem?"

"There is a shortage of installation personnel."

Shikaku took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to the Third Generation.

In the photo, an Uchiha elite wearing a dark blue uniform with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on the back is squatting on the windowsill of a villager's house, his face dark, holding a screwdriver, his Sharingan activated, and he is... tightening a screw.

Below, a ninja from the Hyuga branch family was gesturing something on the wall with his Byakugan activated.

"puff--"

The third generation immediately spat out the tea they had just drunk.

"What...what are they doing?"

"Installing air conditioners, huh?" Lu Jiu spread his hands helplessly. "The research institute is only responsible for building them, not installing them. Nishikawa Tetsu said they didn't have enough manpower, so they sent people from the police department to fill in. They said it was to get closer to the people and serve the public."

The Third Hokage's lips twitched violently as he looked at the photo of the Uchiha using his Sharingan's perception to align with the screw hole.

That's the Sharingan, one of the three great dojutsu in the ninja world.

It's for replicating ninjutsu and seeing through genjutsu, not for displaying this thing!

This is simply...a terrible waste! A terrible waste!

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"

The three generations slammed the photo on the table, heartbroken.

"Where are the auxiliary police officers? What are all those auxiliary police officers doing?"

Nara Shikaku shrugged: "Almost everyone has been mobilized to maintain the basic operations of the police department, including Captain Fugaku."

Of course, he couldn't go; those physical jobs weren't suitable for someone like him who used his brain.

The Third Hokage was speechless for a moment, then continued, "Sending Konoha's elite security forces to install home appliances for the villagers? Is that reasonable? If other ninja villages found out, they'd think Konoha has no one left!"

"And..." he thought on a deeper level, "The police department is a law enforcement agency, not a general labor department. If they handle all these kinds of things, will villagers have to contact the police department every time their furniture breaks?"

"So, what does the Hokage mean?" Shikaku asked tentatively.

The third generation lit his pipe and took a deep drag.

"Since it's a business transaction, let's do it the way business does."

"Go and tell Fugaku and Nishikawa Tetsu to establish a new company—[Konoha Electric Power and Home Appliance Service Company]."

"The village's finance department will contribute 50% of the shares, and the remaining 50% will be divided between the police department and the research institute."

No matter what, these studies were funded by the village and the police department. If the police department were simply kicked out, not only the Uchiha clan, but even other clans would not agree.

Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief. The Hokage was quite generous; 50% far exceeded his expectations, and the mission was considered complete.

The Third Hokage pointed out the window to the retired ninjas and unemployed civilians looking for work.

"Recruit villagers who have little or no chakra and are unsuitable for combat. Have them learn installation and repair. Even if they are genin, being able to climb trees and walk on water makes them better at working at heights than ordinary people."

"This is what we call—promoting employment."

"Free up the police force from installation work and let them do what they're supposed to do!"

……

Police Department, Captain's Office.

"Senior, good news!"

Nishikawa Tetsu pushed open the door and entered, holding a newly delivered document stamped with an official seal. Shikaku lazily yawned behind him.

"The Hokage has ordered the establishment of a joint venture home appliance service company, specifically responsible for the sales, installation, and after-sales service of items such as air conditioners and refrigerators."

"real?!"

Fugaku suddenly turned around, his eyes shining brightly.

"So...we don't have to climb through the window anymore?"

God knows what he's been through these past few days.

As the head of the police force, he not only has to handle official business every day, but also listen to reports from his subordinates: "Captain, the air conditioner at the Yamazaki family's house is not cooling" and "Grandpa Yamaguchi thinks the outdoor unit is too noisy."

This is unbearable!

"Yes, senior."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and handed over the documents.

"From now on, all the rough and tiring work will be handed over to the new company. We just need to sit back and collect our dividends, and incidentally provide some security."

"Very good……"

Fugaku let out a long sigh of relief, slumping into his chair as if a tremendous burden had been lifted.

"Finally, I don't have to worry about my people opening up a kaleidoscope while tightening a screw... The despair caused by a stripped screw is terrifying."

Nishikawa Tetsu and Shikaku: "..."

Is this the reason the Uchiha awakened their Sharingan? It's getting more and more outrageous.

"However, we still need to oversee the recruitment process for the new company."

Nishikawa Tetsu quickly got into character and took out a "Konoha Blue-Collar Skilled Worker Training Plan".

"Even though they are ordinary people, they still need training. For example, 'Safety Regulations for Working at Heights,' 'Etiquette for Home Visits,' and so on..."

Nishikawa Tetsu chuckled mischievously, "We can also take the opportunity to promote the anti-theft barriers certified by the police department. Just ask about them when you're installing the air conditioner."

……

Three days later, a group of workers wearing orange overalls and carrying tool bags appeared on the streets of Konoha.

They are not ninjas, they don't have headbands, but they have professional tools and warm smiles.

"Konoha Home Appliances, Professional Service! Installation, Repair, and Cleaning – All in One!"

On a rooftop not far away, the Uchiha patrol members watched this scene and were moved to tears.

"Finally...finally I don't have to climb that damn wall anymore."

"Finally, I can use my Sharingan just to glare at people!"

"Finally, I can use my eye rolls only to catch criminals!"
