A.N I need a beta reader because it took so long to get this chapter out, I haven't proof read it might do that later.
Finally, I'm prepared to leave and go find a customer. But first. I lock the doors to all other dimensions to ensure I don't miss a customer coming to try and take things from my shop. As I step outside of the shop and into the Naruto world, I can feel something strange in the air. I think it's chakra but I try to keep it as far away from me as possible it could be nature chakra and I have no intentions of turning into a stone. With a smile and a skip in my gate I start walking around the village it looks exactly as depicted in the show. First of I'm going to try to find the one place any Naruto fan would go to if they got a chance to go to this world. After wandering around for a while, I had to ask for direction from a guy in a chunin vest. And quickly I was directed to the stall. There was only 3 people at the stall and 5 chairs so I went up to the stall with a smile on my face took one of the stools and ordered as politely as I could "one beef ramen please." I smiled at the cute waitress I believe her name is Ayame.
"Sure, thing coming right up. DAD ONE BEEF RAMEN!"
Teuchi came out rubbing his ears. "You don't have to shout Ayame I'm right here."
I'm honored to be Infront of the sage of six bowls himself. He places down a bowl of noodles and brown broth first I tase the broth with the serving spoon and just as I thought it's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten, next I use my chopsticks to pick up noodles and yep just as delicious as the broth, soon before I know it, I've eaten the whole thing. And drank the broth, along with the little cutlets of steak.
"Thanks for the."
"HEY OLD MAN 2 BOWLES OF MISO RAMEN!" I hear a small annoying voice behind me.
"NARUTO HOW ARE YOU." The old man yells back excited to see his favorite customer.
"I'm great I just aced my transformation jutsu test!"
"ALREADY? didn't they just start teaching that at the academy?"
"YOU BETCHA IM GOING TO BE THE GREATEST HOKAGE EVER BELIEVE IT."
At this point I couldn't help but snicker. Getting me a glare from both Teuchi and Naruto.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGING AT."
"I'm sorry it's just the Hokage? In those clothes?" I laughed trying to distract them from my giggling.
"What wrong with my clothes."
"Well there not verry good for a ninja, you know you need colors that blend in so you can hide better, you're not strong enough to take on everyone yet so you need to work on your stealth skills to survive so you can one day become Hokage." I said smiling at the little brat.
"Well, no one in the village will sell me anything."
"Well, that sucks but tell you what you buy me another bowl of ramen and you can come get anything you want from my store for a fair price."
"What do you sell?" Naruto asked confused.
"Well, I sell books on chakra control, jutsu, clothes, food, drink, medicinal potions. Pretty much anything a young ninja would need." I said with a sleezy salesman smirk. Naruto looked pretty downcast though.
"I…Don't know how to read." This shocked me completely a boy who didn't know how to read at his age I knew he was neglected but I had no idea it was this bad.
I opened up my system shop and for 500 essences bought a skill book that teaches how to read Japanese. I have no use for it and if I want to snag a potential customer hell need to know how to read.
"Here takes this book when you open it it will teach you to read." I said with a smile he took the book and instantly fell to the floor grabbing his head…well I didn't say it would be painless I was about to help him when I felt a sword to my throat. The Anbu protectors of Naruto, the one holding the sword to my throat was none other than ino or kakashi hatake.
"Easy he's fined its just a lot of information for someone who's never read before." Naruto started to get up and looked at me with a fierce glare but I grabbed the Ichi raku menu and showed it to him. He was confused for a minute but then he shouted.
"You guys sell cheesecake!" Naruto yiped loudly. At this point the sword to my throat was withdrawn.
"Apologies we though you were attacking an academy student with a strange jutsu.
"NO problem skill books aren't originally from this world so I can see why you'd be confused. Skill books work differently then normal books while the information inside is still written on the page and it's recommended that you still read the book, all the information is transferred to the mind as if you spent the time actually reading the book." Naruto pouts because he still finds it a little difficult to read the menu and knows hell have to read the book to get the full benefitted Anbu however isn't focused on Naruto.
"And you sell these skill books at your shop where would this be."
"Right at the entrance to the village it's a small shop with the placard saying dead mans rest. I travel through different dimensions with something similar to space time ninjutsu in order to gain wares for sale in all those different dimensions, I buy any and all rare items, and sell them at a premium. Why don't you follow me to my shop." I smile. And start walking either they follow me or they don't. quickly I hear footsteps behind me from a certain blond which means the Anbu will be forced to follow.
Soon we arrive at out shop and I open the door.
"Welcome to dead man's rest, the interdimensional Knick knack shop." I say with a sleezy smile.
Naruto starts looking around wasting no time looking at all the cool things he could learn from the books, but I have to warn him
"Hey kid if you want to learn anything from those books you have to buy the mana control books first" quickly Naruto pulls out his wallet a fat frog with tons of Ryo notes sticking out. Just like I remember Naruto hordes his money like smegal.
"This was 5 10 and 50 essences how much is an essence?"
"About fifty Ryo." I say with a kind smile.
"Wooff…I don't have that much I still need to pay rent." Naruto said a bit downcast.
The Anbu behind him who I know is kakashi spoke "Ill cover it as long as we can show what you learned to the Hokage."
"Sure, thing now what do you want to buy Naruto." I said with a smile not so sleezy this time.
"Well, I've always wanted to be able to throw around big flashy attacks…but Iruka says that we need to focus on our basics…. I don't really know what he means by that though."
"tell you what I sell books on martial arts that aren't seen in your world. I also sell books on chakra control. which you really need. And ill sell you books on mana control half off if you buy a tome for full price. I'll even throw in a pair of standard ninja attire for free." Kakashi was paling when thinking about buying all that stuff but Naruto was jumping up and down. so, he bought the chakra mana control books, the martial arts books, and a tome for elemental control.
"Well, that comes out to about 12,000 Ryo. Will that be cash, credit, or check?"
Kakashi looks like he hates himself, and Naruto is doing a happy dance. Ahh what lovely customers. Kakashi pays in check, and I immediately drain he Ryo from his bank account, burning the check. And Naruto has started reading through the chakra control books, he already has chakra so all he really needs to do is master the different control exercises. No, the real fun comes when he opens the martial arts beginner book, and the mana book. He passed out for a few minutes, and kakashi was yet again freaking out. I wonder why this doesn't affect anyone else the same way but maybe Naruto is just to dumb to have that much information shoved into his head. He wakes up and immediately he's vibrating hoping to play with his mana.
"Can't use mana or chakra in the store outside of the special training area and I charge to use it." Kakashi picked Naruto and his books up and booked it from the store. "
Heh ninja. I'm sure I can expect a visit from the Hokage. But I'm not worried. I'm probably going to sell something to him as well.
It took two hours for a group of Anbu to show up at my shop clearing the area, and then the Hokage walked in standing proud with a stern face, he was in his Kage robes so I can assume he doesn't want a fight but I can just throw him out if he did want a fight anyways. In my shop I'm a god.
"Well, I hear from one of my better ninjas this shop sells things from different worlds. Forgive me if I find that hard to believe. But I had to see it for myself."
"Sure, thing old timer. Take a look around there are things I want form your world too that I'm willing to buy or trade for." I said with my patented smile. I could be a snake oil salesman if this whole thing didn't turn out well…. or if my soul wasn't on the line. Speaking of which I now had 17,800 essences, which was neat.
"Yes, I heard from one of my Anbu." he said as he looks around and he come to the section I've been waiting for someone to notice.
"ARE THESE BLOODLINES?"
"No, their quirks they come form another world where everyone has a special power."
"How did you acquire these." He gives me a not-so-subtle glare maybe thinking I'm like Orochimaru.
"Hold it old timer, I can buy anything from anyone with the help of my contracts hell I could buy 45 years' worth of age from you and turn you 25" I said and he didn't really seem to mind my disrespect.
"Could you now." He says looking at me. I pull out a contract. And write it down.
"That will be seven thousand Ryo and all you need to do is sign your name." I said with my salesmen smirk. He obviously didn't think I was being truthful. His eyes were wide as saucers. But he shook his head.
"No..NO thank you I'm old…I'm ready to be with my friends and family when my time comes." He said with a small smile. I of course knew he would say no…you don't live to be old in the Naruto world without watching a lot of friends and family die.
"Still, I believe you. thank you for the offer."
"Eh I knew you'd say no you don't get old in this world without wanting to die peacefully. Still is there something you want from me I know I want things from you." I said changing the sad subject.
"OH, and what would you want from me?"
"OH, I don't know, a curse mark, fragments of the galel stone. Some charka ore, scrolls on ninjutsu. A sample of star chakra from hoshigakure, some books on fuinjutsu pretty much any of the thousands of rare things one can acquire from your world."
"Why on earth would you want some of those things the curse mark, and star chakra are both incredibly lethal."
"Eh lethal to some but to others power is power and I sell to those idiots at a premium." I said with my sleezy salesmen smirk. I could fix the curse mark to make it a better powerup. I could create a filter seal with the fuinjutsu books to make star chakra viable. "Pretty much anything unique to your world il buy and sell to other worlds."
"Very well ill spread the word of your shop, the number of things you can buy the new bloodlines being born In Konoha, and new specialties with your tomes does sound like a good deal for Konoha. I shall be leaving." With that the Kage walked out of the store followed by his Anbu escort. I now have the Kage vouching for my business I can't wait.
