Chapter 48 Losing Worries At A Young Age
🕑 Added 2025-10-09 12:04:46 +0000 UTCBefore, there was only one photo for each pose.
This made each purchase a unique Sasuke photo.
But now, they wanted to copy a single photo multiple times. Naturally, quality would decline.
After all, these photos were no longer unique to each client.
To improve the photo quality, they needed more creative and charming poses for Sasuke.
On this point, Haruno Sakura was Konoha’s top designer—truly a master of her craft.
Weapons and accessories would also be updated.
Naruto and Sakura used the Transformation Technique to appear as adults, then put on masks.
This allowed them to enter shops they normally couldn’t access.
In the stunned eyes of the shopkeeper, the two purchased a massive amount of clothing at once:
Cats, dogs, waiters, Hokage robes, little boys, handsome guys…
Early the next morning, Sasuke stared at the piles of clothes scattered across the room, his eyes trembling slightly.
Naruto patted his shoulder. "Pillar, this is the last time. Once we finish today’s shooting, you’re done."
Sakura echoed, "That’s right, Sasuke. We’ll shoot dozens of different themes, copy them, and then you’ll be finished for good."
Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Fine! I’ll do it!"
Sakura smiled brightly. "Exactly!"
"Also," she continued, "today’s poses are more difficult. You’ll need to act like a kitten or something…"
"No, Sasuke," Sakura corrected gently, "although most of our clients are female, your movements are too stiff. Look softer, more charming."
Sasuke: "…"
At that moment, Sasuke wasn’t even sure how he felt.
But this wasn’t the first time. There was no shortage of awkwardness.
Despite it all, Sasuke bravely cooperated.
The three of them worked tirelessly until the afternoon.
Copying the photos was something they couldn’t delegate. More equipment was needed to mass-produce them.
The production volume depended entirely on how many copies they could make.
At this point, Naruto started noticing something odd about this world.
There were cameras, computers, and electrical appliances… but no civilian mobile phones.
Perhaps this was related to the world situation. Most technology seemed military-grade.
After the day’s shooting, the trio went to a restaurant to celebrate.
Whether Sasuke was actually celebrating, only he knew.
Naruto was content just to see him relax. Maybe it was because he knew he wouldn’t have to take more photos for a while.
The next day, Naruto and Sakura went to inquire about more equipment.
Although expensive, they could afford it if they bit the bullet.
With new equipment in hand, they also needed a workspace.
So they rented another room.
In short, everything was ready, and they began producing photos.
Three days later, photo sales exploded.
Sasuke’s handsome features, professional shooting techniques, and perfect lighting drove fans wild.
Seven days later, Sasuke’s photos spread all over Konoha.
The fan base extended beyond his usual followers.
Naruto and Sakura were busy from morning to night, but they found it fulfilling.
They didn’t even need to sell the photos themselves. They just sat by the machines, which copied the images automatically and turned them into silver coins.
It was literally a money-making machine.
Half a month later, they had hired five employees and simply waited for the profits.
Almost every woman in Konoha had purchased Sasuke’s photos.
Even Utatane Koharu was rumored to have a photo in her room.
This situation forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to issue regulations to control it.
After all, Konoha was a serious village—what was the point of everyone obsessing over Sasuke?
But the momentum couldn’t be stopped. Within days, second-tier distributors were spreading the photos throughout the Land of Fire.
Ino: "Not getting a copy is the biggest misfortune of my life."
Kiba: "I’ll never see Sasuke the same way again."
Shino: "I didn’t expect him to have this side… it’s surprising."
Kakashi: "This… Itachi will see it too, right?"
One month later, piracy ran rampant.
The entertainment industry in this world was undeveloped, and people had little awareness about intellectual property.
Sakura Co., Ltd. eventually went bankrupt.
However, the photos became even more famous due to piracy. They spread throughout the ninja world.
When the company closed, Naruto and Sakura gave their employees generous severance pay.
As for a breakup meal? That wasn’t necessary. Business was business, and coins mattered more than a token gesture.
The official version of the photos sold over 100,000 copies—definitely not personal purchases.
The real buyers were second-tier distributors, who bought in bulk and sent them to more prosperous areas of the Land of Fire.
Initially, each copy cost 666 silver coins, roughly 30 yuan.
Midway through, the price rose to 6,888 silver coins.
Later, due to piracy, the price dropped to 1,888 silver coins.
In the end, after all expenses, the profit totaled several hundred million silver coins.
Both Naruto and Sakura contributed to this success.
Naruto was the mastermind behind the sales strategy.
Sakura, as the stylist, created the poses. She could invent a variety of feelings and emotions with a single outfit—truly impressive.
In the end, they split the profits evenly.
Naruto’s mission was overachieved.

Naruto now had six times Asuma’s funds in his system backpack—equivalent to a purchasing power of 10 million in his previous life.
He had become a multi-millionaire at a young age, losing most worries in life.
Meanwhile, Sakura used a small cart to carry the silver home, covering it with a cloth.
Following Naruto’s instructions, she kept it secret—even from her parents.
When Sakura’s father saw her pushing the cart, he shook his head slightly.
"Little Sakura, I don’t know what you’re doing with that person every day, but… wow…"
Father: "Ah? Little Sakura, you’re not… robbing, are you?"
