This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 219 Lady Daimyo

The next day.

The back garden of Daming Prefecture.

Today's tea party is exceptionally grand. Ostensibly for flower viewing, it is in reality a battlefield where noble ladies compete to outshine each other.

Yakushi Nonou wore a well-tailored, plain-colored kimono, which neither overshadowed her nor lacked elegance, but exuded a refined and intellectual beauty.

She carried an exquisite makeup case and entered the garden, led by her maid.

"Who is that? I've never seen him before."

"I heard they're ninjas from Konoha? Why are they letting ninjas in at a time like this?"

"Oh dear, don't say that. I've heard that Konoha has been getting very close to His Highness the Daimyo lately."

Whispers came from all directions, their eyes filled with arrogance and scrutiny.

Nono pushed up her glasses; these were all minor incidents.

Maintaining a friendly smile, she walked straight to the daimyo's wife, who was seated in the main seat.

At this time, the daimyo of the Land of Fire was not the one in the original story, so the daimyo's wife was not Shijimi, but a noblewoman named Taiga Yumi.

This lady, who is over fifty, is well-maintained, but the fine lines around her eyes and her slightly sagging skin still relentlessly tell the story of the passing of time.

She was listlessly fanning herself, showing little interest in the compliments around her.

"Konoha Pharmacist Nonou greets the Lady of the Daimyo." Nonou bowed gracefully.

"Oh? Someone from Konoha?" The Daimyo's wife raised her eyelids listlessly. "My husband said your vice-director is quite the businessman. So, are you here today to promote some kind of appliance?"

"Madam is too kind. How could such a clumsy appliance be worthy of your noble bearing?"

Nonou opened her makeup case and took out a small bottle that was as clear as crystal, reflecting a mesmerizing brilliance in the sunlight.

"What I brought today is a magical object that can turn back time."

"Time travel?" The ladies around them chuckled softly, clearly not believing it.

Lady Daimyo laughed as well: "You ninjas certainly have a big mouth. I've used countless tributes, and I've never seen anyone dare to claim that time can be reversed."

"Whether it's boasting or not, you'll find out once you try it."

Nonou confidently stepped forward, opened the bottle cap, and a light and elegant fragrance instantly filled the air. It was a special scent mixed with high-grade herbs, and just one whiff was enough to invigorate one's spirits.

"Madam, may I borrow the back of your hand?"

Lady Daming hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand adorned with a jeweled ring.

Nono used a silver spoon to scoop up a little bit of the Rejuvenating Cream and gently applied it to the back of his wife's hand, channeling an extremely faint amount of chakra into his fingertips to help it absorb.

Orochimaru's cell activation technology is indeed impressive; combined with Tsunade's formula, the effects are almost visible to the naked eye.

Only half a minute had passed.

The back of Lady Daming's hand, which was originally dry and had faint spots, gradually became moist and plump. Even the fine lines faded a bit, and her skin tone instantly brightened by one shade, creating a striking contrast with her other hand!

"this……"

Lady Daming's eyes widened in disbelief as she touched the back of her hand. The smooth, delicate touch made her feel as if she had become more than ten years younger!

"Oh my god! The lady's hand..."

"How is this possible?! This is incredible!"

The surrounding ladies, who had been waiting to see the spectacle, instantly erupted in chaos. They craned their necks, their eyes filled with greed, which replaced their previous composure.

"This is called [Rejuvenating Cream]."

Nonou closed the lid at the opportune moment and smiled, "It not only protects your hands, but also your face. Continue using it for a full course of treatment, and smoothing out wrinkles and regaining your youth is not a dream."

"I want it!" Lady Daimyo grabbed Nono's hand, her eyes filled with an almost frighteningly eager look.

Although her relationship with Daimyo remained stable and she didn't need to rely on these things to maintain her position, as a woman, who wouldn't want to become more beautiful?

When she was young, Lady Daimyo was stunningly beautiful, standing out among the noble ladies of the Land of Fire and captivating the heart of the prince, who was not yet a Daimyo at the time.

Over the years, people have praised her beauty, but she can sense that they are just flattering her, unlike the genuine praise she received when she was younger.

Now that there's a chance to become younger, how can we let it pass us by?

"How much is this bottle? Or do you have more?"

"Madam, this isn't about money."

Nono looked troubled and began to act out Nishikawa Tetsu's script.

"The raw materials for this frost are extremely scarce. It needs to be cultivated in a specific chakra environment, and the process is extremely complex. Even Konoha can only produce less than fifty bottles a month. This was specially withheld by our vice-dean, who said it must be given to the Daimyo's wife first."

"Fifty bottles?!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding ladies felt an immediate surge of crisis.

How many nobles are there in the entire capital? Who will get fifty bottles?

"I'll pay double!"

"I'll pay three times! I'm the wife of the Left Minister!"

"Shut up, all of you!" The Lady Daimyo slammed her hand on the table with an air of authority. "Miss Nono, tell me, how much is this?"

"To ensure optimal user experience and maintain your exclusivity, we operate on an invitation-only basis."

Nono took out the gold-embossed membership card.

"Only gold card members who have pre-deposited five million taels are eligible to purchase. Moreover, each person is limited to one bottle per month, and each bottle is priced at only one hundred thousand taels."

This is just Nono Yu adding her own drama; she thinks that with such a good response, it'll definitely sell well at this price.

"This membership card can be used in our beauty salon. We also offer silver and bronze memberships, but those do not qualify you to purchase the Rejuvenating Cream."

"Five million?" The famous lady didn't even blink. "Get me a card, now, immediately!"

Seeing the socialites instantly go wild, Nono secretly gave Nishikawa Tetsu a thumbs up.

It's true that it's easy to make money off noble ladies.

By controlling the whispers of these women in their pillows, Konoha's position in the capital will be as solid as a rock.

……

Meanwhile, in the autumn foliage area.

Since Nishikawa Tetsu cleared out the group of ronin who had taken over the area and clashed with the guardian ninja and Ma, this place has become completely peaceful.

The previously chaotic and illegal buildings have been demolished overnight, and leveling work is in full swing.

Nara Shikamori Masaru held a huge blueprint and directed the workers he had hired from the local area to take measurements.

According to the deputy minister, he has already reached an agreement with the construction company of the Rain Kingdom. The construction company will bring people to take charge of the construction in the next two days, and the hired workers only need to do the surveying work.

"Vice Minister, isn't this progress a bit too fast?"

Shikamori wiped his brow and walked over to Nishikawa Tetsu, who was sitting in the makeshift shade drinking tea. He said with some concern:

"Although we've acquired the land, I still have a feeling that Guardian Shinobu and Ma won't let this go easily. Will our current large-scale construction provoke them?"

Nishikawa Tetsu put down his teacup, looking calmly at the busy construction site before him.

"Provoke them? I intend to provoke them, or rather, I intend to silence them."

"Senior Shikamori, do you know the best way to deal with someone like Kazuma?"

Lu Shou shook his head.

"It's to show them that the trend is inevitable."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the city's residents on both sides of the street, who were curious but still observing.

"Right now, in their eyes, we are just Konoha ninjas who came to claim territory, and businessmen who came to make big money. Kazuma can attack us from the high ground of national security and the authority of the Daimyo."

"but……"

Nishikawa Tetsu stood up and took out a uniquely shaped street lamp from the box next to him.

"What if we could light up this street tonight?"

"Lights up?" Lu Shou was taken aback.

"That's right."

Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers.

"We don't need to wait for the building to be completed, nor do we need to wait for the power grid to be laid. Tonight, we're going to install fifty of these streetlights around this construction site and along this street."

"These are streetlights improved by the research institute, and they are much better than the low-power, dim lights currently used in the Land of Fire."

"When night falls, when the entire capital is shrouded in dim light, only this place shines as bright as day..."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled.

"The common people will see the light, the merchants will see business opportunities, and the lords... will see prosperity."

"By then, even if Kazuma wants to take action against us, he'll have to ask the people who are enjoying the light if they agree."

Lu Shou was stunned, then looked at the street lamp in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"I see!"

Lu Shou immediately turned around and shouted at the workers:

"Listen up, everyone: our top priority now is to put up poles and install lights! Tonight at sunset, we're going to turn this street into daylight!"

"yes!"

Although the workers were puzzled, they figured they were the ones who got paid, so they immediately got to work with great enthusiasm.
