Naruto: My Chill Life in the Hyuga Main House

"What a twisted world. Nobles without strength or wisdom somehow manage to rule over others."

Why should mediocre people control everything, forcing common folk to sacrifice their lives for them and powerful ninjas to obey their orders?

All of this frustrated Satori Hyūga.

He felt an urge to change this world—one that might have even surpassed his earlier resolve to overthrow the Caged Bird Seal system within the Branch House.

Injustice anywhere needed to be fixed.

Yet his power remained too weak, forcing him to sigh in frustration.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Satori visited nearly seven businesses owned by the Hyūga clan, gaining a clear understanding of the situation.

What lay before him was Root's covert sabotage and suppression.

Of course, Root's wicked actions weren't aimed solely at the Hyūga clan; they also targeted the noble families behind the pleasure quarters.

Indeed, pleasure districts such as Kabuki-chō were largely under noble control, fueling their extravagant lifestyles through hefty profits.

Satori drummed his fingers on the table, thinking about how to deal with and save the massage business.

Logically speaking, the Hyūga clan, experts in Gentle Fist and possessing Byakugan capable of seeing meridian pressure points, shouldn't have been defeated so easily.

Yet the truth was—they had lost to rumors.

In this era, rumors truly functioned as sharp weapons.

They could drive the legendary Sakumo Hatake to suicide, turn the Fourth Hokage's son into a demon fox, isolate the Uchiha Clan…

It even made Satori consider adopting Danzo Shimura's methods—to fight fire with fire.

Still, he understood that rumors alone wouldn't save his family's business.

When false stories became entrenched in people's minds, the Hyūga name and its enterprises would become irreparable.

"If we can't reverse this damage, then perhaps we should change strategies—or even shift industries entirely."

With two lifetimes' worth of experience, Satori wouldn't allow himself to be bound by current difficulties.

He didn't possess extraordinary business acumen to solve these issues head-on.

But he had other advantages—ways to find alternative paths around them.

Grabbing paper and pen, he began sketching ideas on the blank sheet, quickly forming a new profit-making concept.

Transform the Hyūga Massage Shop into a franchise training center. Thanks to the Hyūga clan's deep understanding of meridians and human body pressure points, teaching a few people wouldn't be hard.

Whether it was Danzō's massage parlors or the nobles desperate to reform and win back clients, eventually, they'd all want to learn.

The Hyūga clan could provide that training—and charge hefty fees for it.

Lagging behind means being crushed; standing still means being left behind.

Even if they initially refused, once their rivals learned genuine massage techniques, they'd naturally come knocking.

The Byakugan and generations of accumulated knowledge about human anatomy represented the greatest wealth and experience the Hyūga possessed.

The more he wrote, the smoother his thoughts flowed, and the more excited he became.

If he followed through with his plan, he was certain it would bring great profits.

"Right! In my past life, there was also massage oil—I should try to recreate something like that here."

Stroking his chin thoughtfully, Satori considered. He didn't remember exact production methods for essential oils, but he could use medicinal herbs as substitutes.

Satori Hyūga had already identified potential suppliers for the medicinal herbs.

The Nara clan in Konoha was well known for their Yin Release techniques, such as the [Shadow Imitation Technique].

Yet few realized that the clan was also highly skilled in herbal medicine. In fact, most of Konoha's medical department staff were Nara clan members. Because of their use of [Yin Release], their overall physical health suffered, so they dedicated themselves to mastering pharmacological knowledge and cultivated various medicinal herbs within their clan grounds.

Their most renowned product was the rare medicinal deer antler.

But Satori had no intention of purchasing the valuable deer antlers—only ordinary herbs were needed.

As for the effects of the massage oil? He planned to exaggerate them shamelessly.

Promotes blood circulation, alleviates bruising, improves joint flexibility, boosts vitality, strengthens tendons and bones, and enhances male stamina...

While most of these claims might not draw much attention, the last one would certainly spark interest.

This was a lesson learned from his previous life.

After finalizing the plan, Satori couldn't help feeling he was becoming a shrewd merchant. Still, he hadn't forgotten his core purpose—strength remained his foundation.

Once the plan was finalized, Satori leveraged the Hyūga Clan's network to distribute it across various shops in the Land of Fire.

"Classes and franchise partnerships?" Hiharu Hyūga gripped the letter tightly, his brow furrowed deeply.

As a member of the Elder's faction, he was reluctant to accept Satori's orders.

Moreover, the business model outlined in the plan baffled him.

This way of making money through collaboration was something he'd never seen before.

And the cooperation was even intended with their rivals? How could that be acceptable?

"Hmph, just a child daring to interfere in clan affairs."

Before finishing reading the entire proposal, Hiharu threw the document aside.

In his eyes, teaching others outside the clan about the human body's meridians and pressure points constituted a betrayal of the clan.

Hiharu Hyūga would absolutely refuse.

He refused, but someone else was more than happy to give it a try.

Another member from the Elder's faction, Dou Hyūga, had a more open mindset.

He didn't want to waste away doing nothing, and the profit-sharing method described at the end of the document intrigued him.

Out of curiosity, he sought out local massage parlor owners to apply for the partnership model.

The reason he didn't seek franchises was because his reputation stunk, and no one wanted to join forces with him.

Dou contacted the hidden owner behind the scenes, and after some negotiation and discussion, finally secured several deals.

He took charge of providing one-on-one professional guidance to the massage parlor staff and trained them using specific sales scripts.

All these scripts and specialized training methods were borrowed directly by Satori from experiences he remembered from his past life.

At first glance, everything appeared profound and intimidating—yet it was nothing more than basic knowledge dressed up in elaborate packaging.

Thanks to the Hyūga Clan's prestige and the novelty of being the pioneers of massage therapy, Dou managed to successfully deceive two businesses.

One was a legitimate massage parlor, the other a brothel seeking rebranding—they both paid the required training fee.

The initial fee wasn't steep, billed per session on a semester basis.

If you feel the training isn't up to par, you don't have to come to class again.

This straightforward, no-frills payment method earned more trust from students who came in with a "let's see" attitude.

In their eyes, only someone with real skills would dare charge like this—not at all worried that students might leave after the first course.

After receiving the tuition fee, Dou Hyūga held the cash in his hands and felt for the first time that his plan might actually succeed.

The specific process and steps were already clearly written out in the plan—all he needed was to follow them step by step.

"Hello everyone, I'm your instructor, Dou Hyūga. Today, we'll be discussing the origins and benefits of [Hyuga Massage Therapy]."

"[Hyuga Massage Therapy] was born from the Hyuga Clan's centuries of study into the human body's meridians and acupoints, and was ultimately refined into practical form by Master Satori Hyūga. It can cure various physical ailments and enhance overall wellness."

With this introduction, massage therapy became inseparable from the Hyuga Clan—it was now regarded as their ancestral technique.

This was all about asserting the legitimacy and securing the Hyuga Clan's status.

As a result, the attendees listened with renewed reverence and attention.

Just look at this—it represents over a thousand years of study by the Hyuga Clan. It definitely wasn't something simple.

Next came lessons on identifying acupoints, understanding meridians, and basic massage techniques.

Needless to say, after systematic training, these half-baked practitioners saw noticeable improvement.

Seeing signs of success, the Boss quickly put in more money to secure the second round of classes.
