Today's been relatively boring after the Hokage left the other day I decided that I no longer needed to leave the store, which sucks because I really want some ichiraku ramen again. Suddenly the store goes on lockdown, which is weird because I just opened up all other portal to other worlds, then the lights go out for a few seconds, then come back on. In front of me lies the abyssal abomination the promised to eat my soul if I didn't gain enough essence jokes on him though I have over 1800 essence with the last few sales I've made getting rid of a few of my stockpiled quirks by selling them to ninja who want a bootleg bloodline.

"So, I see your store is doing relatively well, this is good I won't have to eat your soul and you'll continue to be a decent source of income for me." He speaks his sharp teeth showing ever time he opens his mouth making me more and more uncomfortable. "Still, you've given away a lot more freebees than most would with their soul on the line."

"Eh evil is boring sue me." I say mustering up the most courage I can.

"On that we couldn't agree more. Its far more fun to see humans struggle to be good then watch them give into depravity." He says his eyes swirling with dark power. "Still you're doing far better than I imagined you would. Especially with who you were before you came here. You were and im not trying to be mean here. A bit pathetic." I feel the anger inside me start to grow but I cant really argue. Hes not wrong.

"Still I cant wait to see what you do with the next few worlds I have lined up for you." he said with a sinister grin and then he was gone.

"Yeah fuck you too." I say after he leaves. Man I hate that guy he gives me the heebie-jeebies. Suddenly the door rings and I look over to see its exactly the person ive wanted to see for ages.

"I was wondering when you were going to come." I say keeping my tone polite but a lilt of eagerness stays. Standing before me is a young girl about 18, in a trench coat that shows off her bust In a netted shirt, and a short purple mini skirt. Her hair is tied up in a bun, and her eyes are a deep chocolate brown. It's a mini mitarashi anko.

"I heard from the hokage you can buy anything from anyone even concepts." She said looking a little suspicious.

"That's true. You want me to buy your curse mark from you." I reply ignoring her suspicion that's not my problem.

"I want to know what you plan to do with it first." She asks holding her neck where the curse mark most likely is.

"I plan to sell it for a lot of money." I say honestly.

"Why would you do that you know its called a curse mark for a reason."

"Yes, yes enhanced aggression, frequent flashes of pain in the presence of Orochimaru, addiction to the power, and possibility of possession." I say stating what I know of the curse mark.

"Then why would you want to sell something like that." She asks with a flash of anger. She hates the idea of anyone suffering from the curse mark.,

"Because there are worlds out there with people that have the ability to counter the bad sides of the curse mark and use it for good, and 2 of those things onl;y qualify in your universe off the top of my head I can think of three universes that have people that could use the curse mark without any side effects." I state with a matter of fact tone I wont be yelled at in my own shop damn it.

"How can I be sure your telling the truth." She asks she wants the curse mark off sure but not at the expense of someone else while she may put on a tough front shes not as heartless as she wants others to believe.
"You can't but I give you my word that this will only go to someone who can use it without side effects that's all I can give you."

I pull out on of my pieces of contract paper and write up a quick contract stating the sale of the curse mark for 20,000 ryo. 400 essense bringing me down to a little over 1400 essence. I slide the contract over to her and her eyes buldge.

"That's a lot of money." She says staring slack jawed at the contract.

"Yeah but its going to hurt like I bitch when you sign over the curse mark." I say matter of factly.

"HEY I haven't decided to sign it over yet!"

"sure. Now sign here." I say pointing to the place where she should sign. Ignoring her completely.

"Hey I'm serious! I need some reassurance here!" she says I just continue pointing to the contract. She looks annoyed and takes a few minutes but soon enough she signs and holds her kneck..

"Fine but if I find out your using this to hurt people ill kill you!" she said angry…but eventually she signed it. After a few seconds she hit the ground holding her neck and started cursing

"FUCK FUCK FUCK! OWWW WHY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WOULD HURT THIS BAD!" she screamed holding her neck In pain and I just walked over to her putting my hand on her shoulder, the curse mark was glowing red trying to spread over her body, but the evil containment seal wasn't allowing it even in moments of extreme pain ankos will power was winning out.

"Just hold on it will be over soon the curse mark is trying to fight the contract magic but It will lose chakra has nothing on the versatility and power of mana." I rub her back and after a few minutes and more than a few curses the curse mark slowly fades away and her neck is now free of any blemishes other than the evil containment seal that has nothing inside of it. Soon it too fades away since its power source the evil it contained is gone.

"Fuck me that hurt." Anko says in tears.

"You know what always makes me feel better after a taxing day?" I ask.

"What" she replies wiping away her tears.

"a shopping spree you now have 400 essnece in store credit.. or I could transfer it to ryo and you could shop somewhere else." I say with my best sleezy salesmen smile, and she laughs.

"Yeah what was that about mana being stronger and more versatile than chakra."

"I meant what I said. Look at the tomes and tell me chakra can do half of what mana can." I say pointing at the magic tomes on my shelves.

Quickly anko walks over to the tomes still holding her neck in phantom pain after a while of staring she whistles.

"Phew I mean chakra can do a lot of this but its mostly bloodline stuff." She says in a slightly amazed voice. "and I could do all of this?" she asks sounding disbelieving.

"If you buy the mana control books yes." I say with a smile as she works her way over to the skill books. As anko started looking around the store wide eyed like a kid in a candy store I went back over to my register and marked myself back to above 1800 essence I knew she was going to blow everything she made from the sale of the curse mark and I was right, anko ended up buying 7 sets of tomes I ended up making a profit from this of the tomes she bought, mana manipulation, elemental manipulation, time manipulation, shadow magic, rune casting, elemental fusion, and beast mastery. She was super exited and stated she was going to become Konoha's foremost magic user and turn the forest of death beasts into her own personal army. After she asks kakashi how to bind them all to a summoning contract. She even promised to come back when she got played for her last a rank mission. As I set up the scroll containing the curse mark on the shelf that holds all the contracts that ive recently signed I let out a longing glance at the door. Recently ive started to feel a little couped up pretty much all ive done is work in my store, with my soul no longer on the line and a good bit of strength behind me I kind of want to start my own adventures in the worlds im connected to, maybe grab a few rare items for the store, but then who would I have man the store while im gone. Could I even hire anyone since they cant do currency conversion or appraisal to see the prices things should be bought and sold for. I could mark down the cost for sold items but I don't want to risk ending up broke with someone buying items they don't even know what there worth. After all id pay more for a reality warping quirk than I would for a winged quirk but how can I be an employee would have the same common sense.

As I sigh and put my head between my arms on the cash register I hear a ping

Employee system now enabled
what took you so long.
Give employees a lite version of the shopkeeper system. only having appraise, currency coversion, and contract creation. No strength can be gained from this version of the system and every employee adds and extra 500 essence to your end of month rent.

"IS this because I said fuck you too! You know I was just joking!" asshole..maybe I should watch myself this does prove he can read my mind. Either way now I can hire an employee but that doesn't necessarily solve my problem who should I employ.. who can I employ..

A/N: No seriously who do you guys think I should employ I got no idea right now.
