Compared to Telekinesis, Shen Mo still preferred Professor X's Mutant Ability.

It was so cool.

He could casually enter other people's minds and control their bodies.

It was practically like an omnipresent, unfathomable God.

Most importantly, doing business naturally required understanding people's hearts.

Besides—

There was no shortage of mental attacks in this world. It was better to have some defenses.

"Do you want to trade now?"

Shen Mo looked at Kakashi and tried his best to suppress the anticipation in his heart. At the very least, he could not let his desire show so easily.

"Now!" Kakashi had already made up his mind and did not want to hesitate any longer. "Transfer all my Trading Points to Tsunade."

"All of them?" Shen Mo looked at him, then gently shook his head. "Although how you use your trade is your business, I don't recommend doing that."

If he did, it would mean Kakashi was a one-time customer.

Once Tsunade opened a Resurrection Spell, there would be nothing left for him to look forward to.

That would not do.

In business, big deals had to be made, but so did long-term ones.

"Chests change the fate of the person opening them." Shen Mo switched back into persuasion mode. Looking into Kakashi's eyes, he said slowly, "You and Tsunade are different. Rather than saying your wish is to revive them, it would be more accurate to say that this is your regret, your guilt. But even so, your fate still has not changed."

"My fate?"

Though Kakashi wore a mask, Shen Mo could still sense his bitter smile.

The greatest difference between Kakashi and the others who had suffered misfortune—

Was that he did not yearn to change his own fate. He merely accepted it, bore it, and even faced it with a smile.

"Since you haven't made up your mind yet, watch Tsunade first." Shen Mo did not continue. Instead, he looked at Tsunade. "Her desire to change fate is incredibly strong right now. I'm starting to look forward to seeing where the chests will lead her true fate."

Kakashi followed Shen Mo's gaze. Tsunade did indeed seem different from him.

He only hoped for resurrection.

But Tsunade, whether she opened precious potions, medical knowledge, medicinal herbs, or even pills for tempering the body, looked utterly exhilarated.

Even from this distance,

They could vaguely hear Tsunade muttering nonstop.

"This can be used when Nawaki gets hurt."

"This is great. Nawaki won't have to fear broken arms or legs anymore!"

"A Healing Badge? I've got his birthday present."

"Whoa, with this, Nawaki can marry ten wives!"

Shen Mo looked at the Spirit Tiger Whip, which was meant to nourish the body, and felt that Tsunade might have misunderstood its purpose.

As expected of a little-brother fanatic whose hope had been rekindled.

Terrifying.

Even cold sweat broke out on Kakashi's forehead, and he began silently mourning the revived Nawaki.

But—

Kakashi vaguely seemed to understand Shen Mo's words.

What Tsunade was changing was not simply the fate of reviving her little brother.

It was the fate of losing him.

The current Tsunade would definitely spare no cost to protect her little brother. The Medicine Chest had given her the fate and ability to do so.

Medicine for every situation, miraculous healing methods, and even ways to make others stronger.

What about him?

Shen Mo inconspicuously glanced at Kakashi, who seemed to be deep in thought.

He secretly chuckled.

His true fate still lay ahead.

"Kakashi, Resurrection Spells generally only appear in Level 3 Chests. Tsunade has already opened twenty-three sets of Level 2 Chests. If she opens another twenty-seven sets, she'll qualify to purchase Level 3 Chests." Shen Mo did not intend to waste any more time. Interrupting Kakashi's thoughts, he said, "I suggest you buy the remaining twenty-seven sets of Level 2 Chests for her first."

Kakashi still wanted Tsunade to open a resurrection spell more than anything.

So Shen Mo would let him.

Just as long as he did not spend everything. He needed to save some to open his own chests and cultivate future anticipation.

"Alright." Kakashi did not hesitate.

Everything else could wait until after they had been revived.

"Twenty-seven sets of chests comes to 135 million." With a wave of Shen Mo's hand, another two hundred and seventy chests appeared before Tsunade. Then he extracted Ninjutsu memories and experience from Kakashi, worth that amount and ready to be sold.

In an instant,

Kakashi clearly sensed that he had forgotten many things.

He remembered the scenes when he had copied them.

But the hand seals had become vague, and even the memories of his own training—

Had all vanished.

It had to be said that the feeling was unpleasant, as though a portion of his mind had suddenly gone blank. It seemed as if he should be able to remember it, but when he tried, there was nothing but empty void.

"Kakashi." Tsunade stopped opening chests and looked at him, seemingly making a promise. "Leave every injury suffered by you and the people you wish to protect to me."

This favor was too great.

Though they had agreed to give the first Resurrection Spell they opened to the other person,

The Medicine Chest had ultimately benefited her far more.

Kakashi did not refuse.

Even if he did not need it himself, Rin and Obito might need it one day.

"Keep going, Tsunade." Shen Mo glanced at the sky. "This will probably take until night."

Though he had exchanged for Telekinesis, his body was still that of an ordinary person. He had not slept at all last night.

Even now, he was only maintaining his high spirits by spending Trading Points to buy stamina.

"Quit nagging. I'm very experienced." Tsunade shot Shen Mo an annoyed look. "Opening chests is like gambling. If you want good luck, you have to be sincere."

It was not like your luck had ever been that good.

Shen Mo shook his head.

He did not say anything else.

He had previously monitored all kinds of bizarre online mystical lottery methods and luck-gathering methods. If Tsunade wanted to open them slowly, he would let her.

After all, even Sakura and Sasuke were watching with great interest.

Time passed bit by bit.

The facts proved that even though Tsunade used the sincere chest-opening method, bad luck was still bad luck. The first things she opened were all utter trash. Only after the trash had all been opened did good items gradually begin to appear. Yet she was delighted, convinced that sincerity really worked.

If Shen Mo had not manipulated things behind the scenes,

Forget Tsunade herself—even Kakashi would have cried from watching her open them.

Night fell. Above the clearing beneath the darkness, a bright sphere of light floated in the air.

That was Shen Mo's method.

Another sphere of light floated before Tsunade. It was a knowledge sphere.

After absorbing it, she opened her eyes and sighed. "Nine Revolutions Acupuncture actually contains such miraculous Medical Ninjutsu. What a pity it's incomplete."

"Even the incomplete version will benefit you endlessly." Shen Mo looked utterly speechless as he stared at the final chest remaining on the ground.

What kind of luck was this?

Even if Naruto got a Grand Prize from his first chest, you didn't need to insist on getting one only from the very last chest.

"It's the last one."

Tsunade also looked at the lone chest before her.

After opening this, she would be able to buy Level 3 Chests.
