Naruto Wants to Open Chests Too.

A thing like aura can only be truly understood through firsthand experience.

That was why Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had witnessed Shen Mo's Dragon Might, treated him with such caution.

He did not even believe Akatsuki could pose a threat to Shen Mo.

Shimura Danzō, however, had never witnessed it and harbored a different thought.

At this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's estimation of Shen Mo rose another level.

The merchant from the New World, and the organization known as the Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild, were simply too mysterious and powerful.

However, no matter what stood before him, as Hokage, he had to lead the village along the right path.

"No matter what you bring out, I can judge its value fairly and impartially."

Shen Mo had no idea what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking. He simply smiled as his gaze swept over everyone before settling on Kakashi.

How many different ninjutsu did this Copy Ninja actually possess?

He customized an investigation function.

"One thousand one hundred and twenty-one ninjutsu?" Shen Mo said, his smile growing even brighter. "What a major customer. Kakashi, have you considered buying some Jars? From becoming stronger to resurrection, from friendship to love—no matter what regret you have or what wish you hold, all you need to do now is sell some useless ninjutsu to buy Jars, and your fate will be changed forever."

Even without spending time making scrolls, merely selling the memories and experience related to the ninjutsu in his mind...

would be worth more than twenty million Trading Points.

And that was only because most of them were low-level ninjutsu.

Kakashi faced Shen Mo's dazzling smile.

He seemed somewhat at a loss.

Mainly because he had heard the word resurrection.

Resurrection could actually accomplish something like that?

"Kakashi-sensei knows so many ninjutsu!" Naruto was incredibly envious. He then moved closer to Shen Yun. "What about me? Do I have anything I can sell?"

"Hmph, Kakashi-sensei only knows that many because of his Sharingan. You probably only know a few ninjutsu." Sasuke hugged his Qing Feng Sword, but the look in his eyes revealed that—

he too had been shocked by the number of ninjutsu.

Even if Kakashi could copy ninjutsu,

how many battles had he gone through to copy such an enormous number?

Shen Mo knew Kakashi needed time to adjust, so he was not in a hurry. He also sent a scan toward Naruto.

What could be sold, belonging to Naruto himself—

Asura Chakra, the Chakra of Minato and Kushina, and his own Chakra.

There was actually quite a lot that could be sold, and its value was not low.

Unfortunately, as things stood, the Nine-Tails' Chakra did not belong to Naruto. Otherwise, he would have struck it rich.

Suppressing his regret, Shen Mo gave Naruto a mysterious smile. "There really is quite a lot inside your body. However, I recommend selling your own Chakra. At your current level, completely draining it once would be worth around two million Trading Points—forty Level 1 Chests or four Level 2 Chests."

Before Naruto could speak, Sasuke beside him cried out in surprise.

"Chakra can be traded too!?"

Every ninja possessed Chakra. Naruto was only a genin, yet his Chakra was worth two million?

Then doesn't that mean I can sell mine too?

"Of course Chakra can be traded." Shen Mo nodded. "However, Sasuke, the amount of Chakra you have is probably only around one-fiftieth of Naruto's. And because it recovers quickly, he can only sell it once a day."

That was right. Even Naruto's own Chakra was astonishingly immense.

In this world—

if the level and proficiency of ninjutsu determined its power,

then Chakra was essentially the mana pool.

The mana pool inside Naruto's body could even support him in creating hundreds or thousands of Shadow Clones, as well as practicing a ninjutsu like the Rasengan for an entire day.

Most importantly—

after his Chakra was depleted, he would unconsciously draw from the Nine-Tails to recover. No matter how severe his injuries were, he could recover overnight.

This was a stable, long-term customer.

"Hahaha, so I have this much Chakra?"

Naruto himself had not expected it. His face lit up with delight as he counted on his fingers. Two million a day—how long would it take to reach two hundred million?

Beside him, Sasuke stared at Naruto in utter shock.

This guy has fifty times my Chakra?

Doesn't that mean...

In just one hundred days, if he sells his Chakra continuously for one hundred days, he'll surpass me?

"​​Naruto is a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, which is renowned for its enormous Chakra reserves." Hiruzen Sarutobi understood just how vast Naruto's Chakra was, but he was somewhat worried. "Having your Chakra extracted can seriously harm your body. Naruto, you—"

"You don't need to worry about that." Shen Mo waved his hand, interrupting Hiruzen Sarutobi. "If what I'm trading is Chakra, there will absolutely be no other losses. Naruto, you can give it a try. How about starting with forty Level 1 Chests?"

Naruto was also a high-quality customer.

He would continue to grow.

If he became a perfect Jinchuriki, then even the Nine-Tails' Chakra could be sold together. No, even now, a small amount of the Nine-Tails' Chakra could be extracted.

"Alright, I'll sell it right now!" Naruto agreed without hesitation.

After witnessing Sasuke's current strength, he also wanted to be acknowledged by everyone else.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent for a while, but ultimately said nothing more.

Looking at Naruto, he knew that even if he tried to stop him now, Naruto would secretly sell his Chakra anyway. In that case, it was better to keep an eye on him and see exactly what this was like.

Kakashi had the same idea.

"Alright." A merchant-like smile appeared on Shen Mo's face as he looked at Naruto. "Have you decided what series of Jars you want to buy? Or rather, what fate do you wish to change?"

The fate he wanted to change...

Naruto pondered those words.

Then, almost without hesitation,

he clenched his fists and said firmly, "I want to become Hokage!"

To be respected and acknowledged by others—that was the kind of person Naruto wanted to become.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at Naruto, his eyes filled with relief.

Compared with Sasuke, who was single-mindedly focused on revenge,

Naruto was undoubtedly a ninja who had inherited the Will of Fire.

"Hokage, huh?" Shen Mo sighed as well, then spoke unhurriedly. "In other words, your wish, the fate you yearn for, is to protect this village and protect others?"

"That's right!" Naruto nodded firmly.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and suddenly grew a little nervous.

If this guy chose Swordsmanship too,

then he would definitely walk the path of the Emotional Sword. He might even go farther than Sasuke himself.

Tsunade's expression also became slightly unnatural.

She saw Nawaki's shadow in Naruto.

"Speaking of protection, then I have no choice but to recommend a true hero." Shen Mo spread his arms, and once again, an image appeared before him. This time, it even came with sound.

I forgot to set the automatic updates. Luckily, I noticed early. Also, where are your recommendation votes? Come on, tell me—who did you give them all to? ⊙⊙!
