Meeting up to talk business

It wasn't like she had much to do these days, but she still had her entire outfit to create and the whole village's constant changing, lack of central authority and plain disarray didn't exactly make things easier. However, there was one thing which did go right, Yomi had gotten the idea of finding herself an investor to open up a store and allow for a better and more practical cashflow. After all, no matter how smart and practical she was, it wouldn't make her a dime without having a better way to attract customers.

It was for this reason that she found herself at the Hozuki clan district, awestruck by the many types of fish and types of fishfoods the hozukis actually sold, almost drooling at the thought of going home with a few pounds of smoked mackerel. They were one of the richest clans in Kirigakure, so obviously the best place to find herself a suitable investor for all her crafts and ideas.

Yomi nearly punched a certain girl by accident, as she practically jumped a few feet in the air when suddenly being spoken to by some random young woman out of nowhere. "Hmm...what the OOOH what?!?" It was a rare occassion to see Yomi being startled and flabbergasted by a random stranger, holding her hands up in a weird stance of surprise and self protection, only to lower them when realizing she wasn't under attack or under any threat. "Sheesh, you scared the heebiejeebies out of me."

Taking a closer look, The jounin wondered why the girl actually all of a sudden spoke to her, but disregarded it as probably just an act of courtesy and general friendliness. Though she had no idea who the girl was and from which clan she hailed, the Jounin couldn't refrain from giving a slight bow to respond to the courtesy in the form of a somewhat formal greeting. "I do not know who this Tetsuya may be...I only came here for two things: tasty smoked Mackerel..." Already licking her lips at the very thought of the mouthwatering treat of saltiness, Yomi nearly forgot to finish her sentence. "Oh right and to find a few things for my own... financial stability and expertise."

So, it seemed that within the Hozuki clan they were on first name basis with the Water Daimyo, though Yomi had no idea the Daimyo was an actual member of the clan, far as she knew all nation's feudal lords were but weak and decadent figureheads of the true power within, usually the greater shinobi villages themselves. However, if this wasn't the case with this Daimyo, it would be a very surprising and very refreshing thought to have someone more...in to the know at the top of the pecking order. "I see, if this person you mention is indeed the Daimyo of the Land of Water, it's not strange for me to not know more than but the title itself, right?" Still though, as the stranger did mention that their mackerel was not all that expensive, Yomi was indeed tempted to get herself a decent amount of it.

"I simply need some investment to buy myself a building that can be turned into a store for my own wares," Taking off her backpack , knowing fully well it was smart to at the very least bring some samples. Yomi took out a simple pair of her selfmade Military combat boots, though in quality they perhaps were at the same level as the regular marketplace stuff, they didn't have the crude look those wares usually presented. "These are just some more standardized boots I've made, but I am able to make a lot better stuff if necessary."

Rather surprised that a single, simple girl from th Hozuki clan just immediately told her she could help her with her idea to find and get herself some investments for a shop or at least with the idea to actually get one, Yomi put her backpack on the ground and put the boots back in, looking up at Nami with a grin on her face. "Oh no, this is just a glimpse of what I'll be able to make," She wasn't lying though, since she was able to make poisons and medicine, craft a variety of enchantments and to make it all even better, she had started to dabble in the idea of truly engineering some marvelous stuff. "If I can get a single store up and running, I'll end up running the nation. Everyone will be wearing my stuff and everyone will else will be wanting it. The moment I get myself a store, I'll be able to invest in the future...and I do love the future."

"Always start small," Yomi believed those words, knowing that it was the ideal way to test and calculate things such as profit and growthrate, to test the actual need for expansion based on progress was the same as her own physical training, only to increase the workload in sync with her actual physical progress. "A simple, nicely located shop, providing quality material will never be beaten by a giant megastore selling junk. The higher the prestige, the higher the value, the higher the value, the greater the name and the greater the name, the easier the expansion."

It was rather unexpected for Yomi to see the girl suddenly reach for a notebook and start writing and drawing down stuff without any need or request for it being made. All the Jounin could think about was that perhaps the kid had some bout of inspiration wash over her. Nonetheless from the moment the kid had pulled out the notebook, Yomi remained calm and quiet, just curious to see what it could be that had driven Nami to go drawing all of a sudden.

Eventually though, the kid gave the notepad to Yomi to have a look at it, who looked at the result with wide eyes, only to reach out with her hand, pulling a pencil out of her trench coat and modifying a few things on the drawing. "A more open space for the wares to be stalled and a slightly larger storage space might do the trick," She mused while scribbling on the paper, holding it back in front of Nami."Get me this and we'll be talking business."
