6 Chapter-6 : Ha Ha Ha

Hinata and Hiro continued their "Sideways swimming" for couple more hours until it was middle of the night and finally came out of the bathroom.

leaving behind a mess of bodily fluids spread accross the bathroom.

They both went to sleep as soon as they hit the bed while cuddling each other throughout the night.

The morning came as both of then woke up early for his training.

Morning was reserved for Stamina and endurance exercises.

Hiro was carrying two heavy water buckets on a pole that was resting on his shoulders.

Slowly but surely he was building up resistance to stress as he took each step.

After the morning exercises he was free to do his work, mainly managing his huge business and his ventures.

Hinata went to the backyard to do some training while Hiro sat down to write a few letters as he addressed many people involved in the business and set dates for different projects that he had undertaken.

He used the large chart papers and drafting tools he he bought to create multiple plans.

Few were of bicycles, transport vehicles, efficient electric motors, some new appliances and many more.

A noteworthy thing he was going to make was ready-made clothes, this world didn't have them, if you wanted clothes you would have to get them tailored, there was no other option, well some shops made generic sized clothes but their production capacity was nowhere near what he would be able to do.

With the advent of his fast machinery he could churn out apparels like newspaper.

He designed T-shirts, Cargo Pants and many other things that not yet existed in this world.

"Heh, this is going to hit the world like a storm" Hiro thought.

Clothes have traditionally been something expensive, but with his new machines, they would become cheap.

Even though the profit margins would be lower per piece, the sheer quantity of demand would more than make up for that.

After finishing his work, Hiro was now free to do whatever he wanted, but he had made a reservation yesterday, his reservation with Ino.

Ino should be arriving any minute now to take measurement for the flowers.

Suddenly, Hinata came by his side as she said "There's a Visitor..."

Hiro just smiled and said "Yeah, I know, I Invited Ino yesterday to get some beautification work done in and around the mansion, Yamanaka's are master at decor"

Hinata raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say anything, then he went down to the gate to recieve Ino who had just arrived.

"Hey Ino, come in" Hiro said as he Invited her in.

After sitting down in the drawing room, Hiro asked "So, how are you, I hope you didn't find any difficulty finding your way here, this place tends to be on the outer side of konoha"

Ino, smiled nonchalantly as she shook her head to dismiss the thought and said "Nah, directions you gave were on point, plus, it's hard to miss this house even from afar".

Hiro struck up some idle chat as Hinata made her entry into the room, distracted Ino from what she was going to say.

"Hinata?? What are you doing here?? I mean, how are you it has been months since we last met" Ino said as she stood up and went towards Hinata to greet her.

" Well, I'm fine Ino, Hiro kun here hired me for a mission for which I have to stay with him for a period of time, nothing too special, how are you doing?"

"So, it's a mission huh, well, makes sense, whatever, I'm fine, let's get to work shall we?" Ino said as she started looking around the room, as if trying to evade a conversation.

Hiro looked at that curiously as he started showing her in and around the mansion and waited her to quote a final price for all the florification.

"Honestly, only 450 000 Ryo is enough for the types of flowers your are asking for" Ino said while looking towards him.

"I'll pay 600 000 if you personally take care of the work, there's only a few people I trust, I've worked with you before to know I can trust you, but others? Not so much. So how about it, up for the challenge?" Hiro asked with a smile, his coercive skills were always very great.

"I...I mean if you put it that way, I won't be able to say no, fine, I'll do it myself, but just so you know, it will take about 10 days to complete everything, are you good with that?" Ino said as she looked at Hiro.

"Of course, no problem, start as soon as you want, plus it would be good to have a girl as beautiful as you around, it gets lonely here quickly" Hiro said as he took out 6 Bonds of 100 000 Ryo each and handed them over to Ino.

Ino had a slight redness on her face as she made a swift exit soon.

"Hmmm, she seemed embarrassed about something..." Hiro muttered as he returned back to the drawing room amd sat down with Hinata.

"So, how come you didn't tell me that you were friends with the Yamanaka princess?" Hiro spoke in a joking manner as shook his head.

"Ino and I used to be friends when we were genins, but after the whole Sasuke incident, our meetings became less and less frequent as we both focused towards our own things.

And since we both are female descendants of our clan, we were actually quite close, but unfortunately things didn't seem to be favouring that in the recent year.

I just hoped she still isn't mad at me for ghosting her." Hinata said as she reminisced about her various interactions with Ino before all the shit that happened in her life.

"Its okay, I'm sure it'll be fine, she seemed good, plus we'll have many chances to patch you guys up together in the coming days, now tell me abou t that gentle fist again, what comes after the third swift motion??" Hiro asked a question as he diverged the topic towards one of his training.

He still needed to get stronger no matter what happens.
