Chapter 47: Tsunade's Prepared Grand Prize
Actually, compared to Telekinesis, Shen Mo still preferred Professor X's Mutant Ability.
That was so cool.
He could enter other people's minds and control their bodies at will.
He was practically like an omnipresent, unfathomable god.
Most importantly, when doing business, one naturally had to understand people's hearts.
And—
This world was not lacking in mental attacks, either. He had to be prepared for them.
"Do you want to make the trade now?"
Shen Mo looked at Kakashi, still doing his best to suppress his anticipation. At the very least, he couldn't let his eagerness show too easily.
"Let's do it now!" Kakashi had already made up his mind and didn't 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 Trading Points is your business, I don't recommend doing that."
If he did that, it would mean that Kakashi would only do business with him once.
Once Tsunade purchased the Resurrection Spell, he would have nothing left to look forward to.
That wouldn't do.
When doing business, one had to make both big deals and maintain a steady stream of smaller ones.
"Chests change the fate of the person opening them." Shen Mo entered his persuasive mode again. Looking into Kakashi's eyes, he slowly said, "You're different from Tsunade. Rather than saying that your wish is to revive them, it's more accurate to say that this is your regret, your guilt. But even so, your fate still hasn't changed."
"My fate?"
Although Kakashi was wearing a mask, Shen Mo could still sense his bitter smile.
The greatest difference between Kakashi and the others who had suffered hardships—
was that he didn't seek to change his own fate. He merely accepted it, endured it, and even faced it with a smile.
"Since you still haven't made up your mind, then take a look at Tsunade first." Shen Mo didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Tsunade. "Her desire to change her fate is incredibly intense right now. I'm beginning to look forward to where the chests will lead her true fate."
Kakashi followed Shen Mo's gaze. Tsunade really was different from him.
He only hoped for resurrection.
But Tsunade, whether she had opened precious potions, medical knowledge, medicinal ingredients, or even pills for body tempering, looked extremely excited every time.
Even from this distance,
one could faintly hear Tsunade muttering nonstop.
"This is for Nawaki to use when he's injured."
"This is great. Nawaki won't have to worry even if he breaks an arm or a leg!"
"A Healing Badge? His birthday present is settled."
"Wow, with this, Nawaki can marry ten wives!"
""
Shen Mo looked at the Spirit Tiger Whip, whose purpose was to nourish the body, and couldn't help feeling that Tsunade had apparently misunderstood how it was meant to be used.
As expected of a brother-obsessed woman who had regained hope.
She was terrifying.
Even Kakashi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He had even begun mourning Nawaki, who would be resurrected.
But—
Kakashi vaguely seemed to understand what Shen Mo had meant.
What Tsunade had changed wasn't actually the resurrection of her younger brother.
It was the fate of loss.
The current Tsunade would definitely protect her younger brother at any cost. The Medicine Chest had given her this fate and the ability to fulfill it.
Medicines for dealing with all kinds of situations, miraculous medical techniques, and even ways to make other people stronger.
What about him?
Shen Mo gave Kakashi, who seemed to be deep in thought, an almost imperceptible glance.
He inwardly chuckled.
His true fate was still to come.
"Kakashi, the Resurrection Spell generally only appears at Level 3. Tsunade has already opened twenty-three sets of Level 2 Chests. Once she opens twenty-seven more sets, she'll qualify to purchase Level 3 Chests." Shen Mo didn't intend to waste any more time. He interrupted Kakashi's thoughts and said, "I suggest that you first buy the remaining twenty-seven sets of Level 2 Chests for her."
Kakashi still wanted Tsunade to open the Resurrection Spell more than anything.
So Shen Mo would let him.
Just don't throw everything into it. Leave some for opening your own chests, so you can keep looking forward to what comes next.
"Okay." Kakashi didn't hesitate either.
Everything else could wait until after they had been resurrected.
"Twenty-seven sets of chests—that's 135 million yuan." Shen Mo waved his hand, and another two hundred and seventy chests appeared in front of Tsunade. He then extracted the worth of ninjutsu memories and experience Kakashi had prepared to sell.
In an instant,
Kakashi clearly sensed that he had forgotten many things.
He remembered the scenes from when he had copied those techniques.
But the hand seals had become blurry, and even his memories of practicing them—
had all disappeared.
He had to admit that the feeling was terrible. It was as if a part of his mind had suddenly gone blank. He seemed to be able to remember something, but whenever he tried, he found nothing at all.
"Kakashi." Tsunade stopped Opening Chests and looked at him. She also made him a promise. "All the injuries suffered by you and those you wish to protect can be left to me."
This favor was far too great.
Although they had agreed that the first resurrection item she opened would go to him,
the Medicine Chest had ultimately benefited her more.
Kakashi didn't refuse.
Even if he didn't need it himself, there might come a day when Rin or Obito needed it.
"Keep going, Tsunade." Shen Mo glanced at the sky. "This will probably take until nightfall."
Although he had exchanged for Telekinesis, his body was still that of an ordinary person, and he hadn't slept at all the previous night.
He was only maintaining his vigorous spirits by spending some Trading Points to purchase energy.
"Stop nagging. I'm highly experienced." Tsunade shot Shen Mo an unhappy look. "Opening chests is just like gambling. If you want good luck, you have to be sincere."
""
I haven't seen your luck get any better.
Shen Mo shook his head.
He said nothing more.
He had previously monitored all kinds of bizarre superstitious and luck-gathering lottery methods online. If Tsunade wanted to open them slowly, he would let her.
After all, even Sakura and Sasuke were watching with great interest.
Time passed little by little.
As it turned out, even though Tsunade had adopted the sincere chest-opening method, bad luck was still bad luck. The first things she opened were all terrible. Only after she had finished opening all the terrible ones did good items gradually begin to appear. She was still delighted, convinced that sincerity really worked.
If not for Shen Mo secretly manipulating things behind the scenes,
not only Tsunade herself—even Kakashi would have cried over the way she opened the chests.
Night fell. Above the empty field beneath the night sky, a glowing ball of light hovered, radiating a bright light.
That was Shen Mo's doing.
A ball of light also hovered in front of Tsunade. That was a knowledge orb.
After absorbing it, she opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Nine Revolutions Acupuncture? I never knew there was such miraculous Medical Ninjutsu. What a pity that it's incomplete."
"Even the incomplete version is enough to benefit you for the rest of your life." Shen Mo was speechless as he looked at the last remaining chest in the field.
What kind of luck was this?
Even if Naruto got the grand prize on his first try, there was no need for her to wait until the very last one to get it.
"This is the last one."
Tsunade also looked at the lone chest in front of her.
Once she opened it, she would be able to purchase Level 3 Chests.
