The world of Naruto from modern times

Ten thousand houses

When he heard this term, Yuxing frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Shikamaru meant.

Although the profession of "manwu" sounds very special, to put it simply, this profession, which is also called "convenience house" in addition to being called "manwu", is a profession that helps with various chores. , referred to as "Universal Handyman".

Wanwu's fields of employment are very wide, and the more common ones include: picking up fallen leaves, painting, housekeeping, pest control, warehouse organization, shopping, cooking, distributing advertising flyers, clearing snow, looking for cats and dogs, etc., as long as they can provide For money, I can do any chores.

So, Yuxing asked in an angry and funny tone: "Hey... Shikamaru, are you kidding me? This seems like an industry that can make a lot of money within a year."

“Why can’t you make big money?”

"Look at those jobs belonging to Wanwu. Doesn't this already conflict with the low-level tasks of ninjas? There are still people coming to the door."

It is true that being a "manya" does not require graduating from high school or college like being a ninja, and you also have to take the genin, chunin, and jounin exams to take pictures. However, most of the jobs in this industry overlap with those of low-level ninjas.

After all, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find jobs such as housekeeping, pest control, and finding cats and dogs. Aren't these common tasks in high-level tasks?

If it were a world without ninjas, then that would be fine, but in this world with ninjas, who would have a task and not go to the ninjas, but go to Wanwu to deal with it? If no one comes to come, there is no point in making money.

What's more, even if someone comes looking for it, it's just a small amount of money. If you make [-] million taels by helping people weed, I'm afraid you're not living in a dream...

However, could Shikamaru not know these things? Of course he knew.

So the young patriarch of the Nara clan shook his head and said with a smile: "You are indeed right, but one thing you didn't understand is that the world is not black and white."

"What's the meaning"

"If the official task receiving and dispatching system is regarded as the "white area" and the black market task receiving and dispatching system is regarded as the "black area", then the private Wanwu is neither white nor black, but is in the right gray area. .”

Gray Zone Shikamaru's statement is quite new, at least it's something that Yuxing has never thought of before.

But he immediately asked: "But what is the use of such a gray area? Will anyone really come to ask for help in completing some tasks?"

"Of course there is, and it can be an extremely profitable task."

"Why did you go to Wanwu instead of the "Hokage Office Building" or the "Black Market Contact Center"?"

In Yuxing's concept, basically legitimate tasks can be issued through the "Hokage Office Building", while illegal assassinations, kidnappings, secret theft and other tasks can be issued through the "Black Market Contact Center". Each has its own characteristics. Different channels, what is the significance of Wanwu’s gray area?

"Let me give you an example." Immediately, Shikamaru smiled and said, "Suppose a millionaire loses a very valuable piece of art, and this piece of art was obtained through unfair means. Then who will he entrust to help him find it?"

Yes, a valuable piece of art, obtained through unfair means.

Upon hearing this strange question, Yu Xing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have noticed something.

Because the artwork came from a shady source, the rich man couldn't entrust it to the Hokage's office building, because there and the security bureau and other law enforcement agencies wear a pair of trousers. Otherwise, if the thing is recovered, he will be charged with harboring stolen goods. It’s too much.

But because this thing is very valuable, rich people don’t dare to go to the black market to find people. The reason is very simple. You don’t know whether the person you are looking for will come and take advantage of you, or even beat him up in the end. Plus, that group of people Underground workers have no fixed abode. If something happens, you don’t know where to go to find them. The risk is too great.

"At this time, the famous and powerful Wanwu is quite useful. First of all, this is not an official organization and will not check the content of your entrustment. Secondly, this is not a member of the underworld. People's shops are opened there. When doing business, you can always find someone you want, and you don’t have to worry about leaving any safety hazards.”

I see, is this the so-called "grey area"... After listening to Shikamaru's explanation, Yuxing also roughly understood the value of Banka's existence. Basically, it is a kind of wandering between illegal and legal. between businesses.

The profession itself is legal, but depending on the job, it may cross the line and become illegal, so how to grasp this degree becomes very important.

After seeing Miyuki nod, Shikamaru then added: "One thing to note is that the Bank of Manya profession can have no age, no professional title, no background, but it must have the strength, and it must be completed accurately and quickly. clients, so that as your reputation grows, the work becomes more and more valuable.”

According to Shikamaru's knowledge of some of the more famous Manyas, most of the annual income of veteran Manyas can be calculated in hundreds of millions. After all, the rewards for accepting some gray tasks can be higher than legal super tasks. There are a lot of them... Of course it's also very difficult.

But for Yu Xing, this may be the most suitable profession for him. After all, this guy lacks everything but strength.

"Very good." After listening to Shikamaru's explanation, Miyuki laughed and reached out to pat his arm, almost knocking him to the floor. Then he smiled and said: "That's it, I'll do it when I get back." With a house number, we can carry out the work of thousands of houses at our doorstep.”

"Um...you are sure to do it." Although he knew that his words might have no effect, Shikamaru still advised: "Depending on the different tasks, Wanwu may also encounter risks, and sometimes even interact with the underworld. Maybe even an official enemy.”

"It doesn't matter. I won't beat them to death. Wouldn't that make it an illegal activity?"

"...Okay, as long as you have this confidence."

After sighing, Shikamaru could only watch Miyuki walking towards the distance with happy steps. He did not run to the "Shogi Club" as promised, but went home early as a rare opportunity.

Since Yu Xing wants to do it, then I, as a friend, have to help him... help him find out if there is any Wanwu job that is suitable for him to take. Let's start by looking for something. Not difficult.

I have to say that Shikamaru is indeed quite a friend, and as the eldest son of the Nara clan, he can indeed get a lot of resources by searching at home.

However, what Shikamaru never expected was that that guy Yuyuki would be so beastly, so crazy, and so...unexpected when it came to his work.
