If you want to get rich, you have to be thick-skinned.
The next day, Kanda Rokuro woke up and headed straight to Konoha Hospital.
He seemed to have completely forgotten about yesterday's embarrassing incident. Upon arriving at the hospital, he went directly to Yumi's office, looked at her smiling face, and demanded, "Yumi, where's my money?!"
Yumi put down the documents in her hand and chuckled teasingly, "Little Brother Rokuro, whatever do you mean?"
Actually playing dumb!
Trying to embezzle my money!
Rokuro's face darkened, and he turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Yumi hurriedly stood up and said, "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you! Don't be so stingy. I'll give you the money later, is that alright?"
Rokuro stopped in his tracks, shot Yumi a glance, and said, "I am no longer the me from yesterday. Right now, my heart is solely set on making money. If you're thinking of seducing me, it's impossible!"
Smelly brat!
You really have the nerve to say that! Who knows who was the one getting a nosebleed yesterday...
Truly shameless!
Yumi rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. I'll pay you every day, is that fine with you?"
Rokuro snorted coldly. "That's more like it. Consider yourself tactful. Where are today's tasks? I will treat thirty people today, and I'm going home to train for the rest of the time!"
Yumi immediately pulled out a thick stack of documents, slammed them onto the desk, and said, "These are all the patients within your capabilities. Handle it however you see fit. For every one you treat, I'll pay you the fee for one person!"
Damn!
Really treating me like manual labor!
That stack of medical records had at least a few hundred files.
Rokuro couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Yumi, are you mistaken? Are there even this many patients in Konoha Hospital? I looked yesterday, and the total number didn't exceed two hundred. Am I supposed to handle more than half of them all by myself? You're scamming me too hard!"
Yumi gave Rokuro a flirty wink. "Little Brother Rokuro, are you joking? Not all patients need to be hospitalized. Some with minor injuries just stay at home. They only come to the hospital for treatment at their scheduled times!"
Uh!
I actually forgot about that!
Rokuro glanced at Yumi and curled his lip. "Looking at your expression... you didn't have them all come today, did you? Are you trying to work me to death?!"
Yumi chuckled. "I didn't do anything like that. I simply told them that the Divine Doctor Rokuro would be holding the fort today, and if they wanted to recover sooner, they should come early to line up. Right now, they are all gathered in Hall 3. You can just head straight over there!"
Rokuro cursed inwardly!
Yumi had called everyone together. That meant if he treated one, all the others would be staring at him. How could he have the nerve not to treat them then?
This was forcing him to work!
Rokuro's face turned a bit dark, and he gave Yumi the middle finger. "I didn't expect that with such a big chest, your heart would be so black. Yumi, I curse you and your man to break up immediately!"
Yumi patted Rokuro's head, chuckling, "That's impossible. My child is already as old as you are. Our family is very harmonious and loving right now!"
Uh!
Yumi was already in her thirties. It was normal for her to have a child.
As Rokuro was thinking, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "Yumi, is your child a son or a daughter?"
Yumi's expression froze, and she glared at Rokuro. "Little pervert, you're actually scheming about my daughter? Keep dreaming! My daughter is already fourteen years old; she doesn't match with you!"
Hearing this, Rokuro immediately became overjoyed. "What does that matter? I just happen to like girls who are older than me! Where is your house? I'll go visit tonight. Don't worry, I'll bring gifts!"
Yumi punched Rokuro on the head. "Don't even think about it! Hurry up and go to work! Didn't you say you only wanted to make money from now on? Now hurry up and go make your money!"
Rokuro curled his lip, turned around, and left.
Right now, he was indeed short on money. He really needed to make some cash to spend.
For the plot of land that Hiruzen Sarutobi had approved, he had already drawn up the blueprints and hired people to build it. He was having it constructed based on the layouts of a Chinese-style villa, a commercial nightclub, and a business district from his memories.
Ninjas actually didn't lack money.
But if you wanted to conduct various forms of research, then you must have money.
Why did battles happen in the Ninja World? Wasn't it all for money and resources?
Konoha occupied the land with the most resources, so it was only natural that they were envied by the other ninja villages.
And Rokuro wanted cultivation resources.
So he had to make money. Otherwise, the little bit of money he had naturally wouldn't be enough.
In the future, he still wanted to research Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limits) and various special Ninjutsu. All of that required money to purchase research facilities, so he needed to earn cash to prepare for the future.
As for Konoha Village's resources...
He could, of course, "borrow" them for a bit.
However!
He could only borrow them secretly.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo found out, his fate would probably end up being similar to Orochimaru's. Therefore, making his own money to fund his research was the most appropriate path.
