Chapter 11:
Time passed swiftly as Orochimaru continued his relentless training. Before he knew it, midnight had come. Deciding to balance work and rest, Orochimaru packed up and headed home for some well deserved sleep.

The next morning, Orochimaru made his way to a local grocery store. Without hesitation, he walked in and approached the counter.
"Five chakra Paper strips."
"That'll be five hundred ryō! Thanks!" the fat shopkeeper replied with a friendly smile.
Orochimaru handed over the banknotes without batting an eye. Five hundred ryō was quite a sum each chakra test strip costing one hundred ryō but in this world, everything related to ninjas was notoriously expensive. Orochimaru was already well aware of this.
For example, an ordinary shuriken cost around three hundred ryō, and a kunai could set you back a thousand ryō.
Given that, a chakra paper strip costing a hundred ryō was still within a reasonable range.
As Orochimaru thought of ninja tools, he couldn't help but recall Tenten from the original timeline. Now that he thought about it, she was truly a wealthy person. She would casually toss around various ninja tools during battle. He couldn't fathom how a genin could afford such a vast arsenal!
