Chapter 5
Sasuke came to market after he meets with Nara, Yamanaka, and the Akimichi clan.
Sasuke promised to provide them with regular weapons at 30% off and customized weapons at 20% off of the price.
It may look like a small discount for an individual, but to provide a discount to the whole clan is a big favor.
When a weapon is made its labor cost in the manufacture and its raw material ( metals) cost take up to 60% of the selling price. If we have to deliver the weapon to other place then its cost spike up to 5-7% additional.
So, in the end for Sasuke profits from the weapons are not as important as the friendship gained by the deal.
Sasuke enters the shop where the shopkeeper greets him. Sasuke tells him not to worry about him.
After that, he sat down and started browsing the account books.

For the mejority population of the ninja world what they desire most is peace and safety, be they ninja or common people.
And in this unique ninja world one can achieve peace or safety for himself and his loved one by either becoming a samurai or by becoming a ninja.
For a child born in a clan it is very simple to become a ninja which may be strong or weak depending on his efforts.
But what about how can they become strong? What about their efforts? How can they ensure their safety?
Well, they have two options, and it is for rich people who can afford,
(For poor people the only option is to become bandits)
1) One is to hire a rogue ninja who will teach you or your child. At the same time provides safety. But it is impossible to guarantee the character of a rogue ninja.
A rogue ninja may control you, your family members, or your business and property.
Or he can mislead your child in the wrong way, also no one can predict that the training provided by a rogue ninja can harm the potential of the body which causes undesirable outcomes.
And most unpleasant situation is to be slaughtered by the enemy of the rouge ninjas.
2) The second option for civilians is to become a samurai or warrior which most civilians choose.
But compared to a ninja, samurai pale in comparison be it strength, variety of attacks, and means to escape.
To become a samurai or warrior you have to learn from bandits or local warriors, or by becoming a vessel of a noble lord or samurai.
So after the establishment of the one village one nation system.
It is easier for civilians to contact ninjas and get their services conveniently.
In the midst of such a period where ninja are easier to approach, all the populace put down their grudge and start anew.
Rich merchants or civilians found another approach to gain power under the pretext of the same village.
So they start to hire teachers for their children to learn a way of ninjas.
And Sarutobi Sasuke has a keen eye for opportunities and took full advantage to situation gain popularity.
If any civilian ninja has potential then he would give up the tution fee and instead provide his full support in training them.

"Hello shopkeeper" (his name is shopkeeper? Just kidding)
Just then a man and kid walk up to the shop and greets the shopkeeper.
"Hello sir, how can I help you" the shopkeeper asks politely.
"Sir, this is my son, he always dreams to be become a ninja."
The man pushes the kid forward.
The kid nodded in confirmation and said, "Yep, just like Sanju Hashirama."
The man glared at the kid and pushed him back.
After the establishment of the village system name of Sanju Hashirama resounded throughout the ninja world.
And fame of Sanju Hashirama is at an time high as he brings peace and stability to all.
As such even civilians who don't know much about ninjas has heard the name Sanju Hashirama.
"It's good, he has to come tomorrow 6:30 AM at to the shop then I'll take him to the training grounds. As training interval is 7 to 10 AM.
After that, the shopkeeper looked at the kid and said, "You have to come without breakfast if possible, otherwise only eat the bare minimum."
During training, a full stomach can cause a lot of inconvenience and in some extreme exercise, one might vomit.
And Sarutobi clan also provides some potions or soup during training. So that the body can easily absorb nutrients and a special diet after exercise.
"Well, you have to pay one-time payment for weapons which is 80K Ryo, weekly payment of 35K Ryo for food and medicine, and 50K for tuter."
" So the grand total you have to pay now is 165K Ryo for this week, then from next week you have to pay 85K Ryo."
"And fear not the tutor will be one of the veteran ninjas."
After seeing the man gaze towards weapons. The shopkeeper said while clearing his throat,
"Uhnuh, well it is inconvenient to provide weapons for safety, but after basic intro and some practice he can keep weapons with him."
The man asks, " What about protective gear and a protective guard"
The shopkeeper said with a polite smile, "Sir we can provide weapons in that amount, for protection types of equipment you have to buy them separately and you can take them away with you now."
The man ruffled the boy's hair and said, "Give me a protective vest, soldiers, elbows, and knee guard."
Shopkeeper swiftly two sets of equipment, one of leather and one of steel.
The man chooses a chainmail vest and leather guards. Which cost him 80K for the vest and 10K Ryo for leather guards.
"Sir, your total amount is 255K Ryo but I'll give you a discount of 5K. So you have to pay 250K Ryo."
The man pays the amount and takes away the chainmail vest while the kids picks up the leather guards.
