With the shop rewarded by the clan now available, Satori Hyūga immediately converted it into a store specializing in Ultimate Massage Chairs.
Most people in Konoha, whether ninja or ordinary villagers, came to learn about the existence of these Ultimate Massage Chairs.
Upon hearing about them, many wealthy merchants grew intrigued and hurried to place orders.
With the backing of both the Hyūga Clan and Orochimaru, their credibility was unquestionable.
Before officially launching the product, dozens of chairs had already been reserved.
When the materials and components for the Ultimate Massage Chairs finally arrived, Satori immediately mobilized manpower and began assembling and testing them.
He summoned young members of the Hyūga Clan who had trained in martial arts under him.
These youths had provided the first round of funding—essentially his loyal supporters.
Employing them served two purposes: providing generous wages while also strengthening bonds.
Although the Main House looked down on others and treated Branch House members like mere subordinates or grandchildren,
that was only because Satori's unique status compelled the Branch House to obey.
However, when Satori encountered other Main House members and found himself in conflict with them, the support of the Branch House would become crucial.
What Satori needed to do was win over their hearts and turn them into his own loyal faction.
Inside the large, bright warehouse, groups of white-eyed Hyūga youths worked diligently.
Don't underestimate their age—they were quick and surprisingly strong.
Parts that would strain a normal person to carry alone, they could carry ten at once.
Under Satori's guidance, everyone in the warehouse formed an efficient production line.
Some were responsible for assembling, some for screwing bolts, some for painting...
Although the tasks seemed chaotic, they were more than happy to do them.
Branch House members were poorly treated and since they weren't trained as ninja, they rarely received missions or made money.
Working here under Satori not only included free meals but also offered substantial pay.
More importantly, the job was simple and safe.
Compared to grueling, dangerous missions, screwing parts together in a warehouse actually felt quite pleasant.
"Chonghuo, lead the team to finish assembling everything. Once done, hand the rest over to Might Guy."
"Oh, and after you're finished, don't forget to use the Byakugan to check if anything is missing or any screws were left untightened."
Standing in the spacious warehouse, Satori commanded the group of Hyūga Branch members beneath him.
The Hyūga naturally possessed the Byakugan, making them ideally suited for such precision assembly work.
Once assembled, they simply scanned each chair with their Byakugan to detect any missing screws or loose components.
This eliminated the need for quality inspectors entirely.
Meanwhile, Might Guy, trained in the Eight Gates technique, acted as the deliveryman, personally bringing chairs to customers' homes.
Once the Eight Gates opened, his speed was astonishing.
Across Konoha's streets, people often only saw a flash of green before he vanished completely.
It startled many citizens,
earning him the nickname "Konoha's Green Ghost."
Of course, that was a later development.
Under Satori's leadership, the first batch of Ultimate Massage Chairs was successfully assembled and shipped out.
"Hahaha! I'm done!"
A Hyūga Clan member stood up, laughing heartily after completing his task.
Looking at the Ultimate Massage Chair he had personally put together, a surge of accomplishment welled up inside him.
Most ninja spent their time learning destructive tasks like assassination and intelligence gathering.
Putting together massage chairs felt oddly satisfying instead.
Another Hyūga clan member noticed and picked up the pace too, quickly assembling his own massage chair.
"I'm done too."
No wonder—ninja hands were lightning-fast.
One after another, these Ultimate Massage Chairs were brought to life in their hands.
Seeing everyone work so hard, Satori Hyūga beamed with delight. He waved his hand generously and declared,
"To celebrate the success of our massage chairs, once Might Guy returns with the delivery, let's all go out for some barbecue."
At the mention of barbecue, everyone instantly became overjoyed, jumping into the air.
Even in bustling Konoha Village, meat was hard to come by.
This really showed how primitive agriculture and animal farming were in this world.
With chakra—an extraordinary ability to command wind and rain, even reshape the world—people still couldn't guarantee enough food to survive.
And it's not like there were no scientists or scholars.
But they poured all their intellect into perfecting more powerful, more destructive ninjutsu.
People like Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru.
They created grotesque forbidden jutsus capable of even resurrecting the dead.
Yet no one ever thought about developing faster-growing livestock for meat.
Or using Wood Release to cultivate crops with staggering yields.
Surrounded by his companions, Satori Hyūga led his small group into the barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue shop belonged to the Akimichi Clan. The meat here was fresh and high quality—the restaurant specialized in freshly slaughtering and grilling meat.
After all, every member of the Akimichi Clan loved to eat. Leftovers never lasted long—they always ended up in the Akimichi's bellies.
When they walked into the barbecue restaurant, Satori immediately spotted a slim-figured but plump man cheerfully coming forward to greet them.
"Please come inside and take a seat."
With a warm gesture, Akimichi Tōen escorted them to a wide, empty table.
Looking at the group of Hyūga members before him, he felt a quiet thrill of excitement in his heart.
So many ninja must mean a lucrative day.
As an Akimichi, he had always been interested in business and was assigned to manage this barbecue shop.
He looked around the group and caught the name "Satori Hyūga," immediately recalling the news passed down from his clan.
Satori Hyūga.
A Main House member of the Hyūga Clan—a young prodigy who had become Orochimaru's disciple.
He knew about Satori becoming Orochimaru's disciple thanks to the Akimichi Clan being close allies of the Hokage.
Now, using the Hyūga's meridian-targeting strikes, he had created massage chairs that amazed countless people.
It was said that these massage chairs could automatically adjust pressure and focus areas according to the user's physical needs.
In terms of effectiveness, they were almost as effective as basic medical ninjutsu.
Tōen had seen those massage chairs on the streets before, but his large frame made it impossible for him to fit.
As Akimichi Tōen studied Satori Hyūga, Satori was also watching him from the corner of his eye.
The Akimichi Clan was no simple group either.
They were the Butterfly of Konoha's Ino–Shika–Cho triad.
When Satori first learned that the code name was Butterfly, he'd been mildly taken aback.
With that build and appearance, shouldn't he look more like a pig?
But the truth is exactly like this.
The origin of this nickname lies in
the Butterfly Mode of the Akimichi Clan.
It converts body fat into a massive amount of chakra, which flows along the spine and erupts from behind like wings made of chakra.
In this form, the user's entire body is transformed into solidified chakra, allowing flight up to thousands of meters high, just like a butterfly.
This is considered the pinnacle of the Akimichi Clan's Taijutsu techniques.
As one of Konoha's prestigious secret technique clans, the Akimichi specialize in the Expansion Jutsu, capable of transforming their internal fat into vast reserves of chakra.
In addition, they also possess three types of secret medicinal pills.
Thanks to these unique abilities, the Akimichi managed to distinguish themselves among Konoha's many clans and became one of the Hokage's most trusted allied clans.
"The Akimichi's Taijutsu is just as formidable. Their secret medicinal pills are particularly exceptional. We must acquire some samples for research."
