In his previous life, he had seen many beautiful pieces of jewelry through television and movies.
Although it's difficult to describe or paraphrase, in the ninja world, chakra is omnipotent.
He could easily use ninjutsu to extract his memories of those jewelry pieces.
It's just that he didn't learn the relevant ninjutsu.
But it's okay, Konoha Village should have it.
"Tell them to keep recruiting, and start work once everyone is ready."
Kitazawa gave the instructions.
The Hyuga clan has relatively few ninjas, making them only suitable for building high-end brands.
For ordinary jewelry and such, the work still needs to be done by the recruited regular employees.
He was well aware of how crazy the results could be with the support of fame and brand.
In short, there's no worry about selling them.
"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."
The crow bowed slightly and disappeared from the spot.
Kitazawa thought for a moment, then headed towards the Hyuga clan's encampment.
"Lord Kitazawa."
The two Hyuga clan ninjas guarding the door immediately greeted him.
"I want to see Chief Rizu."
Kitazawa nodded and explained his purpose.
"I'll go and make the call right now..."
The Hyuga clan ninja on the left was interrupted by a voice before he could finish speaking.
"Teacher Kitazawa, what brings you here?"
Hinata Hyuga asked with a look of surprise.
She had just gotten home and was about to go to her room when she heard voices at the door. Turning her head, she saw Kitazawa.
"I'm looking for your father."
Kitazawa replied with a smile.
"I'll take you there."
Hinata Hyuga quickly replied, "He should be in his study right now."
"Well."
Kitazawa stepped forward and patted her head.
Hinata Hyuga smiled and happily led the way.
Upon reaching the study, she stopped and looked at Kitazawa.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to your father first, and then I'll come back to you."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Hiashi Hyuga's voice rang out.
Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked in.
"Kitazawa?"
When Hiashi Hyuga saw him, he quickly stood up and said, "I apologize for not greeting you sooner."
"Chief Rizu, I've come to discuss a business deal with you."
Kitazawa got straight to the point.
"Business?"
Hiashi Hyuga was slightly taken aback.
At that moment, he thought of Kitazawa asking them to get the Hyuga clan's support to help him become Hokage.
After all, in the traditional ninja mindset, business is equivalent to transaction, not actual business.
"Jewelry and jewelry business."
Kitazawa explained, "Konoha discovered a mine on the seabed."
"...?"
Hiashi Hyuga was completely stunned.
Is that correct?
This was the first time in his life that someone had approached him to discuss a jewelry business.
"I don't know."
Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said, "If you want to do business, you should go find those merchants."
"This is a profitable business, but you won't get much money by going to those businessmen."
Kitazawa revealed his purpose: "I hope the Hyuga clan can use the Byakugan to process and manufacture jewelry."
"...?"
A question mark reappeared on Hiashi Hyuga's face.
His first reaction was to refuse.
In his view, the Byakugan is for sensing and fighting, not for making jewelry.
But it was Kitazawa who came to find him.
The current Hokage Tsunade's student has a very high probability of becoming the next Hokage.
If he refuses, it will affect the relationship between the Hyuga clan and him, which would be a loss rather than a gain.
How many people do you need?
Hiashi Hyuga pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Not too many are needed."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with eight."
Things are rare.
It's normal for high-end brands to have low production volumes.
Moreover, the jewelry handcrafted by the Hyuga clan is itself a form of advertising.
After all, the Hyuga clan has a great reputation in the ninja world.
"can."
Hiashi Hyuga agreed.
Eight ninjas weren't many; he figured they were just going on a long-term mission.
"Ten percent of the profits from the jewelry and ornaments they make will go to your Hyuga clan."
Kitazawa said very generously.
One-tenth?
So stingy?
Hiashi Hyuga immediately raised an eyebrow.
In his opinion, most jewelry is not too expensive.
Eight people can't make much jewelry, so even a 10% profit is very little.
But Hiashi Hyuga didn't say much.
His goal wasn't to make money, but to build a good relationship with Kitazawa.
"Please trouble Chief Hiashi to send people to the Land of Waves as much as possible, as they will need to participate in a period of training."
Kitazawa reminded him.
Although the Byakugan is very convenient, the Hyuga clan ninjas cannot immediately make jewelry.
"I'll have them set off tomorrow."
Hiashi Hyuga immediately said.
Having already agreed, he naturally had no need to dawdle and drag things out.
"Well."
Kitazawa stood up to say goodbye.
He politely declined Hiashi Hyuga's invitation to stay for dinner, said goodbye to Hinata Hyuga, and went home.
The next day, Wednesday, arrived.
After having breakfast, Kitazawa headed to the Hokage Building.
"Why are you skipping class to come find me?"
When Tsunade saw him, she put down the documents in her hand, stretched, and then leaned back in the Hokage's chair, looking like she was giving up.
"Does Konoha Village possess the secret techniques of the mountain clan?"
Kitazawa glanced at the despicable volume of the container and asked.
"Yes, it is, but according to Konoha's promise to the Yamanaka clan, other ninjas are prohibited from learning it."
Tsunade said lazily, "You don't need to learn. Just let the Yamanaka clan do whatever you need to do."
"I want to learn a ninjutsu that can extract memories."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "When I'm out and about, I can't possibly carry a ninja from the Yamanaka clan with me."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Tsunade remarked, "The ninjutsu for extracting memories isn't limited to the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques; it's just that the effects are somewhat less potent."
"It's okay, as long as it works."
Kitazawa spread his hands and said with a smile, "You can't blame me for this. It's just that the mountain clan is so famous."
"Let the ANBU ninjas go and get it."
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.
"Only the Hokage is qualified to issue such an order."
Kitazawa reminded him.
Ninjutsu is the most important asset of a ninja village.
Aside from learning ninjutsu from a teacher, other ninjutsu generally require the Hokage's permission or a reward to learn.
"Why haven't I seen you behave this well usually?"
Tsunade thought of Kitazawa's past bold actions, many of which seemed quite rebellious.
"Don't slander me."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "I will still abide by the necessary rules."
"Tsk!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes, her attitude speaking volumes.
"Tsunade-sensei is so beautiful, she probably won't care about my unruly behavior."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's hard to say."
