It Takes a (Shinobi) Village...

Summary:

It's time for Iruka's annual back-to-school order...and thus an entire shinobi village is mobilized!

Notes:

Thank you so much for laying this very successful worldbuilding bait! I leapt upon it the moment I saw it, and I hope your prompt gets other responses too, because ninja-industry theorizing is definitely something I want to see 40 different cakes for.

Some high-level notes: The currency system used throughout is the ryō (両). I debated way too long on what the class disparity and inflation rate should be in this world, but settled for even the D-rank mission rate (両5,000) being approximately equivalent to what a farmer makes annually, since shinobi are clearly way at the top of the class structure. I also factored in a roughly 30% mark-up for secondary distributors.

Part of the inspiration for this comes from watching the many teachers who were scrambling over back-to-school supplies a couple months back: at least take heart that your students are (probably) less lethal than Iruka's! I do assume that Iruka's funding for this order comes from the Hokage's office and not his own pockets, because I feel like if the ninja world is going to raise scads of murder-children, the least they can do is fund their schools properly (dreams!).

This work uses a custom workskin. Show creator's style to see the formatting, or turn it off if you like - but mobile users be forewarned that this work contains a large number of spreadsheets/tables, and alas there is no real way to get those to play nice on mobile devices.

Internal Invoice Notes: Sahiro, get the paper and materials orders in, stat, so that we can get on the seal master's schedule. Tohru, see if you can get a discount from the scribal copyists, and try to get our order in with the apothecary's residency program like last year - that was great for lowering our overhead. Imako, can your brother make us some of that good sake on the sly? Iruka's a good repeat customer, and he has 11 monsters in his class this year, so let's see if we can't get him the strong stuff!
