Kozue's master in this world was an old samurai who worked on several occasions as a bodyguard for the Ichihara family.
Therefore, it was relatively easy for his father to commission him to take him on as a disciple.
Although he was only 11 years old, it was an age when many children are looking for a job to dedicate their whole life to.
And since Kozue was an outcast son who was not supposed to inherit anything, it was fitting that he follow a master so that he could learn a trade and have something to live on in the future.
Of course, his father's wife even spoke in Kozue's favor, and he soon left the capital following his master.
Kozue sighed because the old man had died a year before.
If he were still alive, he wouldn't mind buying medicine at the dimensional store to heal him, creating some excuse about obtaining this miraculous medicine.
What about your father?
Kozue never considered saving the man.
Ever since the Kozue of this world was old enough to understand, he never felt welcome in the Ichihara house.
Besides Tetsui's indifference, Kozue would receive nothing if it weren't for the interference of the dimensional shop.
There's a reason Noboru and his mother had promised those properties to the clan elders; Tetsui had already promised them that and only changed his mind at the last minute.
In addition to using her Haki to sense what was happening around her, Kozue asked Robin to use her Devil Fruit, and she learned about the above when Hanako and her son discussed Tetsui's decision.
Besides Noboru, Kozue had other siblings.
But these brothers also used to bother him in the past by following Noboru around, and that's why he didn't go to see them.
And of course, they didn't look for it either.
… at first.
When it became known that Kozue would receive 5 properties, these guys immediately jumped in to claim what they thought was theirs.
And when they saw that they hadn't achieved anything, they went to look for him and seek help.
Kozue laughed in their faces and kicked them off the property.
I didn't want anything to do with them, and it would be better for them not to cause any trouble.
"Here"
While reminiscing about the past, Kozue heard Teruo talking and they followed him as he turned a corner.
And dozens of meters further on, Teruo stopped in front of a warehouse.
Kozue saw it and was satisfied.
This warehouse was purchased by Tetsui many years ago and increased in value as the commercial area grew to this point.
With a size of 1000 square meters, this warehouse is worth a lot today.
Teruo opened the large warehouse door, first unlocking several large padlocks and then leading the group inside.
After showing them the inside of the warehouse, Teruo gave Kozue several papers to sign.
After that, the next step was left in Teruo's hands, who told him that he would help him follow the appropriate procedures so that he could take possession of the various properties and have his name recorded.
That procedure would take a few days, and Kozue started cleaning everything with the help of the girls after Teruo said goodbye.
And after cleaning up the accumulated dust, the group went out to have fun in the capital.
Mikita wanted to go out and try the different foods in the city, and the group agreed.
After closing the large door again and putting all the locks on, the group headed towards the main street with Kozue taking the lead and the girls behind him.
!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, as they were about to reach the main street, a group of 4 appeared first, walking, and the leader showed surprise.
Immediately the group's leader, who had a cigarette in his mouth, stepped in front of his group and a pair of trench knives appeared in his hands.
Cutting sound*
And from those trench knives, a chakra of cutting wind surrounded them and the man with a cigarette in his mouth prepared for battle.
"¡Asuma-Sensei!"

Ino Yamanaka
When she became a ninja, Ino didn't expect it to be so boring.
Instead of the exciting missions she expected after graduating from the academy, she was greeted with tedious missions like painting fences or catching pets.
I was 18 years old!
She was already an adult and had just graduated from the academy!
Ino didn't want to do these tasks that I consider for children.
Of course, when she complained to her parents, their words made her nervous because they told her that this was only training time and that she would find dangerous missions outside the village.
Now, instead of being annoyed with these childish missions, Ino was nervous about the mission that Asuma, the leader of the Jonin team, had gotten them.
An escort mission to the fire capital.
But nothing happened.
Ino wasn't nervous at all because nothing happened during the entire trip.
Of course, even though the mission was over, they hadn't returned yet, and Asuma-sensei told them why.
Things were happening in the capital, and the Hokage wanted them to stay at least one more day before returning.
Ino wondered what was happening, but it was just that the Ichihara family would soon change leaders, and the blonde wondered how this would affect the village.
Asuma just looked at his partner, and although he was lazy, he told him what he had guessed.
As a large family with connections to the Daimyo, the Ichihara family had a lot of power, and it's obvious that many people will want to get involved in the change of family head.
It is obvious that there will be ninjas involved and the village must be on the lookout for any intervention from another country.
Shikamaru also mentioned that he encountered many suspicious people in the city who appeared to have received ninja training.
Ino then asked why they don't hire the Leaf Village, and Asuma said it's complicated.
Ninja and civilian issues are separate, and many people in the capital want the Daimyo to hold all the military power in the country.
That is, to govern Konoha as well.
A ninja village has a lot of power, and many people don't like that they are independent.
Of course, this was impossible and a conflict of interest arose among many people.
Due to this conflict, many laws were created that prevent the presence of Leaf ninjas in the capital unless it is for an authorized mission.
Like the mission they took to escort someone back from the leaf to the capital.
Of course, some people also saw the potential problems and hired protection.
But only a few people, and the rest relied on their own trained samurai and ninja forces.
"But isn't it dangerous if ninjas from other countries appear?" Ino asked.
The blonde thought it was quite silly that they had prejudices against the Leaf Village and didn't hire them to protect them.
In response to Ino's question, Asuma answered this.
It turns out the Daimyo wasn't so short-sighted and secretly hired the Leaf to protect the capital during these turbulent times, and a group of ANBU was ready to act if the situation warranted it.
But even with a mission, ANBU ninjas could only move under certain circumstances.
Not in the way the Hokage would like, to be attentive to what happened in the capital.
Therefore, Shikamaru told him that this is why they saw many Leaf ninja teams in the city because they too had accepted a mission from the Hokage and would secretly search for information before having to return to the village.
Ino knew that her friend Shikamaru was a genius, but she was still amazed when he was able to figure out the situation when they had only been in the capital for one day.
Ino was unable to do any sightseeing in the capital as she wanted and reluctantly had to spend the entire morning with her team walking around the capital looking for anything suspicious before returning to the village in the afternoon.
Hours passed and they found nothing.
Ino was already tired and bored.
And she wasn't the only one.
Shikamaru was also bored and constantly complained that he wanted to return to the village and rest while watching the clouds.
The only one happy was Choji, who had already eaten several bags of potato chips by that point.
!!!!!!!
And suddenly…
"Asuma-sensei!" Ino shouted at this unexpected situation.
Asuma, who was behind them, appeared in front of them with his trench knives in his hands and ready for battle.
Shikamaru and Choji didn't know what was happening, but they immediately got into fighting stances.
Ino looked ahead to see the enemies, but all she saw was a very handsome young man followed by 5 girls behind him.
Although the young man had a sword, Ino couldn't see him as a threat and her mind was preoccupied with comparing him to a model.
