When Hiruzen said that, Aoto's face broke into a wide smile. There was a reason why Aoto was actively trying to insert himself into the politics and management of the village. He hated it but there was nothing he could do at the moment since he didn't have enough power and people that could hurt him held too much power.
Let's not even take Danzo for a moment. Orochimaru, Nagato, Obito, Madara.... The adversary would merely keep growing bigger and more powerful. Politics wouldn't necessarily give him the strength to take on some of the worst foes, but it would help him bring the disparate villages together.
He needed to start getting ready for the Fourth Great Ninja War right away. He began with his business. If possible, he planned to establish his company in every village, which would help link the settlements together. People frequently overlook the crucial role that business plays in effective interpersonal communication.
And business with other villages would only be possible if he had some say in political situation. Of course at the end, it was still about power and that was the reason he was actively trying to upgrade his shop so that he could see if the knowledge he gets is enough to save him.
As he brought back two enormous cases of vials for the Hokage to take them away, Hiruzen continued his conversation with Aoto. For this small delivery, he didn't bring any Anbu. It demonstrated how jealously he guarded this. In actuality, he claimed, he kept the existence of these vials a secret from everyone and only yesterday's follower Kakashi was aware of them.
And of course the people who were checking the vials.
Naturally, Aoto didn't tell him that Danzo had also learned about the vials, but he had chosen to keep quiet because his life right now was more important. After the small talk, Hiruzen left.
"System, how many more items must I sell before I receive the update?"
[
Palicos - 15
Viagra - 100
Windows 98 - 99
These are the numbers that the host is lacking in his sales before he can get the next update.
]
"Shit, I had almost forgotten about this ill fated thing. Where even do I begin? Wait.. Doesn't Fugaku owe me a favor.. System can my customers resell my stuffs?"
[
A consumer is permitted to resale the products brought by the host, provided the item is not some sort of prohibited item.
]
"Yessss.. Now I can save myself the embarrassment." Aoto pondered. Proper favors could be finally paid off. Of course, he would need to bargain a little, but fortunately, he has a young man at his place who can assist him.
The world of Game of Thrones are more open to sex than this world so he shouldn't have problems with talking about this with Fugaku. He was still a teenager, so discussing these issues wasn't in his best interests.
However, sales of Palicos had recently been a little slow, possibly because they were expensive and few people could afford them, but that was okay. He was prepared to hold out. Aoto called John later that evening and began chatting about the Viagra.
Aoto felt incredibly uncomfortable talking about Viagra but since he was alone with John at the end he was able to explain what this was and John had a hard time believing that such thing could even exist in medicine.
"Are you joking, my friend?" With his amazing deep and northern accent, John questioned.
Aoto said while rolling his eyes.
"Does this strike you as a joke?" As he pulled out the small batch of medication and placed it in front of John, Aoto questioned. Over the course of his stay here, John had seen him bring out several items, but this type of medicine was new to him.
It was practically on par with Victoria Secret merchandise. Arya used to detest selling these items, but as time went by, she came to understand that only women visited and there was very little demand for them. This gave her some alone time to practice swordplay by herself and win points from his brother.
She was content with her current job because it gave her the opportunity to connect primarily with women. People who made purchases here frequently return to make additional purchases.
"And you want me to discuss it with Fugaku? And aid us in selling it?" John enquired. Aoto said while giving a head nod.
"Well.. You know.. Umm.. I am just a teenager and it will be incredibly inappropriate for me to talk about it to someone." Added Aoto.
"But you do realize that even if I take this to him, he will understand that it was you who made this medicine." John spoke in a monotone voice. He could see why Aoto was being cautious, but in the end, Fugaku would still be able to establish that Aoto was the one who had invented the medication because he was the one who had brought the medical texts to Konoha.
Aoto tensed up because he didn't consider that angle. He didn't want to discuss it with a grown man, was all he could think. Though the age of consent was fairly less but the topic of sex was a little repressed and not as open as his previous world.
"Uhh.. Well, it's alright even if he is aware that I invented the medication. Simply take it with Fugaku and ask him to assist us in selling it. Additionally, inform him that his two Palicos are prepared and that he needs to come and purchase them." Added Aoto.
"Sigh! You need to find another man soon to do your job. We will be running out of people if this goes on." John said as he took the medicine and kept at the side. He had time to travel outside of Konoha and speak with Fugaku the following day because it was a holiday.
Aoto prayed that everything would go good in this deal as he talked about the price of the medicine.
