The idea was great, but it was quite difficult to put it into practice.
Although Kusagakure Village was weak, it wasn't a place that a Genin could just barge into at will.
Natsume's top priority was still to improve his own strength.
Currently, he studied [Water Release] during the day and practiced [Wood Release] at night. In terms of progress, it was already quite good.
After all, he was only seven years old, and there were limits to what his body could handle.
Natsume took off his coat and drifted off to sleep.
The next day was Sunday.
Tsunade excitedly dragged him to Booklet Street.
This time, she used the [Transformation Jutsu] and turned into an ordinary-looking girl.
The kind of flat-chested girl that Natsume wouldn't be interested in. It's an A-cup, no thanks.
Tsunade and Natsume dominated the gambling tables again and won another million in gambling funds.
However, on their way back to Konoha Village, they were intercepted in a small forest.
Previously, the casino owners knew who Tsunade was, so they didn't dare to make a move against her.
Now that she had transformed into an unknown girl, they immediately flew into a rage and their evil impulses got the better of them.
"Which casino are you from?"
Natsume was surrounded by eight burly men but wasn't the least bit panicked.
Because he had someone backing him up.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the money you won today!"
"It seems we can't reach an agreement."
Natsume tilted his head. It seemed he had to learn from Naruto Uzumaki and beat them into submission first before trying to reason with them.
Tsunade watched him with great interest.
She was very curious about what he was planning to do.
She had already discovered that this younger brother she'd picked up out of the blue was mature, smart, and full of ideas.
Natsume's little face was serious.
This was his first actual battle.
It was only natural to be a bit nervous on one's first try.
Even if you removed the word "bit", it would still make sense.
Ahem.
Thankfully, Tsunade was there, so he wasn't in any life-threatening danger.
Wood Release: Wood Clone!
Almost instantly, one Natsume turned into three Natsumes.
"Be careful! They're Ninjas."
The casino thugs' faces suddenly turned solemn.
They were just ordinary people with a bit of skill, but they were far from being as well-trained as Ninjas.
The three Natsumes simultaneously threw shurikens.
Each person had six shurikens in each hand.
A total of eighteen shurikens targeted all eight of them.
The casino thugs hurriedly scattered in all directions.
Natsume stayed where he was, while the other two clones charged straight at them.
As they got closer, they used Wood Release: Wood Clone again, and it instantly became a fair one-on-one fight.
A moment later, all the thugs were captured.
"Can we talk now?"
Natsume asked again.
"Our boss won't let you get away with this!"
"You're quite tough, aren't you?"
Natsume turned his head and said, "Sis, show them your fist."
Tsunade showed a gentle smile, took a few steps back, then lifted her right leg high and brought it down.
Heavenly Foot of Pain!
The area within a radius of three or four meters centered on her cracked open with a thunderous noise, and countless gravel flew into the air.
The eight casino thugs stood there, stunned.
What they were seeing was beyond human capability.
"Which casino are you from?"
Natsume covered his nose and mouth with his hand and asked.
Although Tsunade had controlled her strength so as not to affect him, there was no way to control the flying dust.
"Gunma Casino!" the thug replied in a hurry.
"What's the boss's name? What's his background?"
"The boss is Morikawa. He was a hooligan before and later joined Gunma Company and opened this casino."
"I see."
Natsume waved his hand and said, "You can go."
Tsunade was a bit stunned and asked, "Just let them go like this?"
"They're just ordinary thugs. They're of no use."
Natsume explained, "I'm more interested in Gunma Company. Since they've attacked us, we don't need to play by the rules. I have an idea to take control of this company."
Although he used the Wooden clone, under normal circumstances, ninjas would only think it was an ordinary Clone Jutsu, not to mention these thugs.
The Wood Release wouldn't be exposed.
Tsunade stared blankly at him.
If it weren't for his seven-year-old look, she really would have thought Natsume was an adult.
"Do you want to open a casino?" Tsunade asked.
"No."
Natsume shook his head and said, "I'm going to protect the casino."
"…?"
Tsunade found she couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
"A single casino has too small a scale. I want to integrate all the casinos to make more profit."
Natsume wanted to be the underground emperor of Booklet Street.
This was beyond the thinking of a ninja.
It took Tsunade a while to process and react.
She didn't know how to comment.
As a ninja, one wouldn't be involved in production and business operations.
Their only way to make money was through missions.
It could only be said that they lacked knowledge.
If it were Natsume, there were a thousand ways to make more money than through missions.
And there was no need to risk one's life or work oneself to exhaustion.
Natsume always thought the world of the Hokage was too distorted.
Ninjas with the power to destroy the world actually bowed to the Daimyo and nobles.
They were also treated like dogs because of missions.
Including the Akatsuki organization.
It was just ridiculous.
And the most ridiculous thing was that ninjas were actually proud of it.
Natsume didn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked.
"What do you want to do?"
Tsunade didn't think for too long.
There was no need for her to hesitate between Gunma Company and Natsume.
As for not acting like a ninja, so what?
"Unify the standards, add more games, improve the service, and collect franchise fees and commissions."
In Natsume's view, the casinos in Booklet Street were like Internet cafes in the underworld. The environment was dirty and messy, and there were only a few types of games.

After taking control of Gunma Company, he planned to build a modern-style casino and seize the market with high-quality service.
The remaining casinos would either be forced to copy his model or unite to get rid of him.
But he was also willing to offer a third option: franchising.
Tsunade was stunned when she heard this.
This method was unheard of.
But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense and seemed feasible.
"I can't do it alone. I need big sister's help."
Natsume looked up with an expectant expression.
Although it was an impromptu idea, it was really profitable.
Anyway, it was Gunma Company that provoked him first. It's reasonable for him to retaliate, right?
Moreover, having money would enable him to handle many matters.
For instance, he could hire ninjas to rescue Karin and her mother.
In fact, Tsunade was a rather complicated person.
Today, Natsume showed a glimmer of his talent, really astonishing her.
Not to mention ninjas, even seasoned merchants couldn't come up with such a solution.
Thankfully, Natsume was now on her team.
Tsunade bent down, picked him up, and said, "No problem. Whatever you need, sis will get it for you."
Well, well.
This remark sounded like something a wealthy woman would utter.
Natsume just tilted his head slightly and could see the First Hokage's necklace.
It was so fair - skinned.
He didn't stand on ceremony and leaned in.
He was really quite exhausted from the fight just now.
The friction on his face felt as if there was no fabric between, like the finest silk.
Before long, Natsume felt sleepy.
After all, he had a child's body.
And consuming chakra was actually consuming physical strength.
After Tsunade walked for a while, she felt the rhythmic breathing constantly hitting the necklace and the surrounding skin.
She looked down and saw that Natsume was already asleep.
