Seeing the two children Chouji and Mikai, the middle-aged man couldn't help but pause for a moment. Although the clerk had warned him in advance that the two customers were relatively young, he never expected that they would be two children.

After staying on Choji's forehead protector for half a second, the middle-aged man sat down opposite Choji and Mikai: "You two want to customize the ninja tool, right?"

"There are some special requirements." As he spoke, Dingci took out the design drawing he drew yesterday.

The burly middle-aged man took the drawing but did not look at it. Instead, he placed the drawing on the table. Not being slighted because of Choji's age, the middle-aged man said solemnly: "Excuse me, is this a special ninja tool that needs to be kept secret?"

It's not that the quality of Konoha's craftsmen is high. Firstly, the appearance of a ninja can be disguised by transformation techniques. Secondly, it is not uncommon for a ninja clan member to come to a ninja tool shop to customize some weird ninja tools on a whim. . Of course, whether it can be used or not is another matter.

This routine is the standard procedure for accepting orders in a ninja shop. If you need to ask, ask in advance. If any second generation takes out the special drawings passed down from their family, they craftsmen will be in trouble for nothing.

Choji had never thought about this before, but after being reminded by the middle-aged man, it became clear: "The drawings I made by myself may not necessarily produce results. Many of the parameters need help from professionals to improve. Of course." If there are results, they still need to be kept secret.”

The middle-aged man nodded after hearing this, then turned over the drawing and looked at the hand-drawn graphics on the drawing.

After looking at this drawing, the middle-aged man relaxed a little. What he was most afraid of was a ninja boy holding some ugly stick figure, or simply some legend recorded in a whimsical way.

The hand-drawn drawings drawn by Choji are very crude. After all, Choci is not a professional. It's not as standard as the three-dimensional view, but the lines are smooth, which at least allows people to understand what he needs.

According to Choji's understanding, a long and straight barrel is needed, and the strength must be able to withstand the explosion of the detonating talisman. For this reason, it does not matter if the wall of the tube is thicker.

With chakra, there is no need for complicated mechanical structures such as triggers and firing pins. The function of the grip is only to facilitate holding and to cooperate with the sight to facilitate aiming.

The middle-aged man looked at it carefully for a while and confirmed that the structure of this ninja tool was very simple. The only difficulty was the long tube that could withstand the explosion of the detonating talisman.

In addition to material requirements, the process of round pipes is also one of the difficulties. In the ninja world, where there is no concept of automated lathes, finishing depends purely on the craftsmanship of the craftsman.

If the density of the material is unevenly distributed, or there are tiny bubbles inside, or cracks occur during processing, the entire ninja tool will be scrapped instantly.

"I understand the requirements, but the cost may be more expensive than imagined." The middle-aged man put down the drawing and considered it for a moment: "The main material cost is about 40,000 taels, and the labor cost is 10,000 taels."

(A bowl of Ichiraku's tonkotsu ramen costs sixty liang. Ichiraku Ramen is not a high-end store in Konoha. Taking into account inflation during the war years and for the convenience of calculation, sixty two is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of thirty soft sister coins. .)

Mihai never thought that the price of customized ninja tools would be so high. Fifty thousand taels is enough for a family of three to spend for a year, but here, it is just a ninja tool.

Secretly clenching her pink fist under the table, Mihai hesitated whether to persuade Choji not to spend impulsively or something.

When the total price of 50,000 taels was revealed, Dingji smacked his lips in his heart for a moment. More than 800 bowls of Ichiraku Ramen!

"Okay, that's troublesome." As he spoke, Chou took out four ten-thousand-yen bills with the Konoha logo and slapped them on the table. He waved his hands grandly: "Don't be stingy with the materials. I will replenish them for you when there are not enough for delivery."

Mihai's mouth that had just been opened was silently closed again.

Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount for ordinary people, but Choji is the young head of the Akimichi clan, and he can be considered a second-generation ninja. He can still get this "little money". It’s just a fee for a high-difficulty C-level commission.

Seeing Choji paying so neatly, the middle-aged man finally had a smile on his face, and his face was no longer business-like.

Taking this opportunity, Choci took out another drawing: "There is one more thing I would like to ask you. I don't know if it is convenient."

Having just concluded a business deal, chatting with the customer is part of hospitality, so the middle-aged man smiled and said, "If it's about ninja tools, I'll do my best."

Choji spread the drawing on the table, and what was drawn on the drawing was a bullet. Choji's ideal method is to use detonating symbols to replace the primer and charge, so it is simply broken down into two parts, one is the warhead responsible for killing, which is the combat unit, and the other is the barrel responsible for generating kinetic energy, commonly known as the cartridge case.

The combination of two is a complete bullet.

Because the structure is simple, Choji's drawing is quite clear: "My idea is to put the detonating talisman into the barrel at the back, and use the explosion of the detonating talisman to launch the warhead in front. This long tube can be used to calibrate the direction." , do you think this can be achieved?”

Choji's imagination made the middle-aged man slightly stunned.

The detonating talisman itself is a ninja tool that uses chakra. The detonating talisman is loaded up and another piece of metal is fired. So why not just tie the detonating talisman behind the kunai and throw it out? No matter how you think about it, this solution is more lethal.

But there is no need to be serious about these "toys" of the second generation of ninja. Putting aside the "practical" factor and considering it from the perspective of a craftsman, the middle-aged man cautiously gave his opinion: "Adding a barrel can reduce the load on the barrel, but the barrel itself is likely to be easily damaged. , and the customization price will not be low.”

Although Dingci has thought about these things, Dingci has no intention of being disappointed. He is a time-traveler who is used to seeing and hearing all kinds of thermal weapon information. If he is surpassed by an indigenous craftsman at a glance, does the time-traveler have no face?

Choji's initial idea in this regard was to use some small detonating symbols, and then use copper bullets as light as possible for the warheads, or even consider hollow-core bullets.

But if this is the case, the result will be a nondescript pistol. The lethality is about the same as that of a kunai. It has slow loading speed, poor versatility, and short range. None of these shortcomings can be solved, and it is completely useless.

So Choji conceived a second plan: "Then, can the detonation runes be engraved directly on the bottom of the warhead?"

The middle-aged man frowned in embarrassment: "Well, my specialty is forging, and I can only say that I know a little bit about the detonating talisman. If you don't mind, the master craftsman in the shop will be back in two days, and I will give you a I will convey my thoughts on my behalf, but if the master makes a move, the price will be..."

If a businessman says this, he is suspected of raising prices, so it is very taboo. However, the status of a master craftsman represents the pinnacle of skills, and middle-aged men are not qualified to make decisions for the master craftsman.

Seeing the aura of this middle-aged man, Choji thought he might be some kind of hidden boss, but unexpectedly he looked away. He still didn't have much experience.

"Don't worry, as long as this problem can be solved, money is not a problem." For the young head of the Akimichi family, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem! Dingci readily agreed.
