Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Some story came out of the restaurants. Thanks to his past earnings, Shikamaru already had some capital, but it would still not be enough to open his own enterprise ... And he did not count on this at all. In those days, he did not know the techniques of changing appearance, so it was probably impossible to start a business at his age. But, thanks to some problems, everything changed.

Two years ago, a couple of months after the incident with several children, Shikamaru raised a lot of money. But, this method of earning did not work for long. Although his subordinates worked conscientiously, the villagers did not manage to fool for a long time.

It just so happened that some of the children had ninjas in their parents and some suspected something. Of course, this was expected. Ultimately, the Shinobi could go to Shikamaru, so he had to get out of it very quickly. Of course, the suckers he worked with were not particularly happy with this outcome, yet they had to do the dirty work and they counted on their reward. But Shikamaru didn't really care about it, a couple of skirmishes and fights, and it ended up fine in the end. He was not involved in charity work, he had already taught them a rather important lesson ...

But in the end, it was not possible to completely get rid of the problems. For obvious reasons, some shinobi managed to figure out who was behind this scheme. Shikamaru couldn't get rid of the witnesses, so that was to be expected. Fortunately, he already knew that this was likely to happen. He ran into a couple of kids from the academy, so he knew their parents might very well be ninjas. But even so, Shikamaru was not particularly afraid of future problems ... He already knew it would be difficult to blame a four-year-old child, especially the son of the village's important Jonin. The voice of a simple Chūnin against the head of an entire clan would not have decided anything at all.

Even if punishment follows, it certainly won't be particularly scary. How can you punish an ordinary child? Shikamaru could well tell some childish nonsense and justify himself.

Therefore, the case did not flare up much. In the end, Shikaku found out everything, and although the case was quickly resolved, Shikamaru was still slightly hurt. Although, he would not call it that ... More likely a small nuisance, no more.

Shikaku decided not to tell Yoshino what had happened, more for his own sake rather than his son. Who knows who she's going to blame in the end? So Shikamaru got off with a simple reprimand and a rather difficult training. Although, the reprimand was mixed with praise, but the training did not scare him at all, even if he had to endure several hours of sparring with his father. Such Shikamaru was even really glad ...

Since then, the father's attitude towards his son has slightly changed, now Shikaku asks much more questions and is much more interested in the boy's affairs. Well, Shikamaru himself was not particularly opposed, everything turned out in the best possible way. Still, thanks to his father, he managed to learn a couple of clan techniques, so it even played into his hands.

Well, as for the business, he should also thank Shikaku here. Although he was a little dissatisfied with such an excessive independence of his son, he still decided not to insist that he take money from him. But he couldn't let him get into trouble again, so he offered an alternative. A completely legal way of earning money at the discretion of Shikamaru. Maybe it was a test, but the guy didn't care much, there weren't many options and Shikamaru. Although there was money, it was not enough for something serious. Shikaku could provide a certain amount for temporary use. Which was fine with Shikamaru. So, having formed with his father, he decided to open a small restaurant. The situation was quite funny, a four-year-old guy starts his own business ... Somewhere in another world, this would only cause laughter. Yes, even in the ninja world, this would be difficult to accept, so although Shikamaru was responsible for everything, Shikaku simply covered him up and was listed as the owner. Otherwise, he did not interfere in the affairs of his son. After this incident, Shikamaru's respect for his father grew even more ...

At first, I had to hire a couple of cooks, and already when Shikamaru mastered shadow cloning, hands were added. Besides, the clone does not need to pay, which is an additional benefit. In any case, the business brought in income, and quite sufficient, a couple of months ago, Shikamaru closed the debt to his father and was now fully working for himself.

"Perhaps in a year or two it will be possible to expand ... Although I have better ideas" - exhaling smoke, Shikamaru chuckled a little and closed the book. Earnings were important, but he wasn't really hoping for a restaurant. He was just like a little side job in the village. When he can leave the village, there will be tons of new ways to get some money. Although, as a way to launder money, it will do.

Shikamaru brushed aside his thoughts, slowly stood up, and then opened another task:

- "Chūnin Power"

Reach 1000 chakra volume, 150 strength and speed, 200 stamina. Minimum chakra control is 100. Learn at least three C-rank techniques.

When Shikamaru completed the Genin Power quest, he naturally received a new one - Chūnin Power. Perhaps it was a new difficult path, he remembered well how long it took to reach his current chakra level, so it would take at least a couple of years for Shikamaru to accumulate enough. But, this is only if he just trains. Chakra growth is gradually slowing down, Shikamaru had noticed this long ago. If you judge correctly, then by the age of ten, the growth of the chakra volume will slow down very much due to age. So even if Shikamaru is training now, it doesn't affect the volume that much, just a little bit ... if the chakra had been increasing all his life, it would be too easy. By about the age of twelve, the ninja reaches its limits in volume thanks to genetics, and then everything depends on him.

Shikamaru was quite confident that he could reach Chūnin's level in two years, maybe less. He counted on a quick increase in strength and new bloodlines. He specially saved up points for a good and pleasant pumping.

To become a Chūnin in two years is, of course, quite fast, and besides, at eight years old it is something very rare and difficult. But, with a system and so many pedigrees, it should be logical. If he could not even do that, it would be too strange.

Just with all this strength, Shikamaru felt bored, he wanted to quickly deal with the academy. But at the same time, he knew that it was worth being patient and perhaps wait for the canon. Long and boring, but he was ready to endure ... Still, he was not going to give up his knowledge of the original history. If he leaves the academy earlier, it could cause problems in this regard.

In addition, he is not quite officially at the academy, technically he is already Genin and if he asks well enough, then perhaps the Hokage will give him some task. Maybe something small that Shikamaru can of course use and walk outside the village. If so, he can ease the boredom a little ...

Looking around, Shikamaru dropped and put out his cigarette, and then slowly trudged to the Academy, thinking about some things. Actually, as always ...

"Soon it will be possible to start pumping, I have completed enough tasks, it would be time to buy something worthwhile" - entering the building, Shikamaru immediately went to his class.
