Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 048: My Sister is Cunning and Devious

"I… saw… their breasts…"

These words echoed in Hyuga Miyu's mind like a haunting melody, leaving her unable to think clearly.

Senju Wakama, seeing the look of disbelief on Miyu's face, continued calmly, "I found that those ladies are quite good at spreading rumors. You might not have any interaction with them, but if one day you happen to meet them and hear some stories about me from their mouths, I have no idea how they might twist things."

Wakama's voice was steady.

But Miyu could sense sincerity in his words.

It seemed like he was trying to explain something.

This explanation was solely to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings between them in the future.

But if nothing particularly significant had happened, why was Wakama explaining this?

Miyu felt her mind was in chaos!

In her panic, Miyu blurted out, "If you really need to observe, then please use me as your teaching tool!"

Although Tsukuyo had previously simulated this scenario for Wakama, hearing it directly from Miyu left him with mixed emotions.

Over the past year of interacting with Miyu, Wakama had discovered that by following his sister's advice step by step, he could almost always control Miyu's emotions.

It felt as though Wakama had completely mastered Miyu's emotions and thoughts he could make her cry or laugh at will.

It was… terrifying.

However, when Miyu nervously suggested using herself as a medical teaching tool, Wakama couldn't help but laugh.

Although Wakama didn't particularly like Miyu, he would never let Tsukuyo perform breast enhancement massages on her.

Because his sister Tsukuyo was actually a man!

The Senju clan's "wellness business" was a scheme orchestrated by Princess Tsukuyo.

Tsukuyo, blessed with divine power, could heal any injury or illness as long as the patient wasn't on the brink of death.

By selling flower and herb hydrosols, Tsukuyo had successfully connected with the wives and daughters of numerous nobles, subsequently launching a "body beautification" business for women.

Through these wellness services, the women who experienced Tsukuyo's "healing" would return home and educate their husbands about the Senju clan's healing abilities, thereby attracting male noble clients.

Through word of mouth, old clients brought in new ones, creating a low-cost method of acquiring new customers and forming a positive cycle.

Wakama had once asked Tsukuyo why he didn't simply charge exorbitant fees to treat terminal illnesses for nobles.

After all, those suffering from severe illnesses would surely be willing to pay a fortune to be cured by Tsukuyo.

And if Tsukuyo managed to heal someone who had been declared incurable by ordinary doctors, his reputation would skyrocket.

The title of "Divine Healer" would undoubtedly earn Tsukuyo the favor of many nobles and bring in even greater profits.

However, Tsukuyo had a different perspective.

He told Wakama:

"Any one-time deal is a bad business. Relying solely on one-time transactions means losing out on much greater long-term profits."

"The difficulty of acquiring new customers will only increase over time until there are no new customers left. Then, we'll have no choice but to spend money upgrading our techniques."

"The ultimate goal of all business is to collect rent long-term rent."

"The best business is to ensure that customers can never fully obtain what they want. They must rent it, paying me continuously while begging me to grant them the healthy body they desire."

"If you create a product that's durable and effective enough to last for generations, why would anyone need to buy another one from you?"

"So, completely curing their illnesses is detrimental to the Senju clan's profits."

For the Senju clan, the most profitable approach wasn't to fully heal their clients' ailments in one go, but to heal them just enough, leaving a small issue to be treated gradually.

Tsukuyo's comprehensive wellness services allowed clients to experience significant improvement in their conditions, but never complete recovery.

Just leaving a little something unfinished was enough.

Then, Tsukuyo would kindly remind them, "Please take care of your health from now on. Avoid doing XXX."

These caring words were usually completely useless.

By leaving a small lingering issue, over time, the clients' reckless habits would cause their ailments to return.

Having experienced the feeling of being "healed," they would never tolerate returning to their previous weak state. To regain their vitality, they would once again send money to the Senju clan.

The clients, filled with frustration and hope, would continue to pay, continue to seek treatment, and forever keep sending money to the Senju clan.

Even their father, Senju Butsuma, thought Tsukuyo's approach was too cunning, too devious, and too brilliant!

It perfectly manipulated human nature.

People who sell clothes and blankets solve their customers' problems of staying warm.

People who sell food and daily necessities solve their customers' problems of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

But Tsukuyo was different. On the surface, he was helping noble clients solve their health problems, but he never fully solved them. Instead, he hoped they would always have issues.

"Make sure the clients never fully recover, yet remain filled with hope that they can be cured. Both are indispensable."

If there's no effect at all, that won't work. The nobles won't return, and they might even punish you on the spot.

If the treatment is too quick, that's even worse. You won't make money, and you'll increase the risk of being coveted.

The longer the treatment takes, the more money the clients spend.

It's just like how Wakama is dealing with Miyu now.

Every time they meet, Wakama gives Miyu a different product.

Every time, Wakama shows some new "progress."

Every time Miyu manages to snap out of her infatuation with Wakama, she falls into a new round of obsession.

If Tsukuyo's method is to collect "health rent" from most nobles, then Wakama's current behavior toward Miyu is essentially renting out love.

Whether to take it back or not is entirely up to Wakama.

Thinking about the goal he needed to achieve today, Wakama shook his head helplessly. "Don't take it too seriously. My sister usually explains things to me with diagrams. The other day was just a coincidence, and I didn't react in time."

As he spoke, Wakama seemed to be recalling something, then added, "Besides, I'm studying medicine because of you."

"Because… of me?" Miyu was stunned.
