Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild
Resurrection!
The instant the word was spoken, Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted.
An indescribable pressure surged from her body.
Even Shizune covered her mouth tightly.
However, Shen Mo seemed not to notice anything at all and continued smiling.
He felt that the time had come.
From the free jars to now, it was time to bring out some real surprises.
"Miss Tsunade, you must have lost someone important, right? In your world, there are simply too many such things."
"Our world?" Tsunade repeated.
"Then allow me to formally introduce myself." Shen Mo chuckled. "I am Shen Mo, a New World merchant affiliated with the Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild."
Naturally, this identity was fabricated.
Shen Mo had figured this out long ago.
Some of the things he had brought out were simply impossible to explain.
The medicinal herbs from earlier did not even exist in this world.
There would be even more miraculous products in the future.
Adding the identity of a New World merchant would not only explain the origin of the products, but also increase his own air of mystery. When necessary, he could even wave the guild's banner and make some people afraid to act rashly.
Besides, as long as he sold enough Jars, he would soon grow powerful at these profit margins.
"A New World?" Tsunade seemed even more confused.
Although there was plenty of advanced technology in the Naruto world, it was still, at its core, a technologically backward society.
Ordinary people had no concept of a New World.
"That's right. The world is not unique."
Shen Mo slowly raised his hand and customized a one-time Mirror Technique from the system.
At the spot where his fingertip lightly tapped,
countless illusory images slowly emerged.
There were unimaginably tall skyscrapers, countless enormous metal monsters surging from a black hole in midair and battling bizarrely shaped warriors; vast armies, gigantic trees that stood and walked like humans, and giant Dragons breathing flames; deities standing among the clouds, wielding lightning to punish the world.
All of these
were scenes from movies Shen Mo had watched.
His calm voice slowly rang out.
"We travel through countless worlds and trade goods with every kind of existence, whether human or deity. So please don't limit our abilities with the perspective of a single world." Shen Mo spoke softly. "Perfect resurrection exists without any cost or flaw. We have products like that as well, hidden inside these Jars that can be called treasures."
""
Tsunade did not respond for a long time. Shizune had even unconsciously bitten down on the hand covering her lips, as if using the pain to determine whether she was dreaming.
Yet the incredibly realistic images before her eyes,
along with the miraculous products inside the Jars that she had never heard of,
were all verifying that this was reality.
No one knew how much time had passed before Tsunade's slightly hoarse voice broke the silence.
"How much do I need to get the resurrection you mentioned?"
Her fists were clenched, and her body trembled slightly. Yet there was no hardened expression on her face. Instead, she pressed her lips tightly together, looking almost fragile.
Because she truly, desperately wanted to
see them again.
"I don't know." Shen Mo shook his head. "If you're resurrecting someone of average strength, there may theoretically be one in a Level 3 Chest. But if you open enough Chests, you'll definitely get one. These Jars will answer the Chest Opener's deepest wish."
A Level 1 Chest sold for 3,000 Trading Points.
A Level 2 Chest sold for 30,000 Trading Points.
A Level 3 Chest sold for 300,000 Trading Points.
And so on.
As for Resurrect Nawaki, even the customized service only cost around 400,000 Trading Points.
After all, he had only been a twelve-year-old genin.
Dan Katō would be much more expensive.
"One Level 3 Chest costs five million each?" Tsunade's gaze gradually firmed. "I'll gather the money."
"The more, the better." Shen Mo reminded her, "The more you open, the greater your chances of success."
Although he felt some sympathy for Tsunade, he had not forgotten his principles as a merchant.
He would save the Resurrection Coin for last.
In any case, there would be no shortage of other good things.
"The more, the better?" Tsunade looked at Shen Mo, her brows knitting together. "You came to our world just to sell products? You can travel to different worlds and possess so many miraculous items, yet you care so much about money?"
Just that Water of Life alone
would be something even a Daimyo would pay any price to obtain.
With the Cross of Courage and a new goal, Tsunade had now emerged from her dejected state.
And the consequence of that
was that she had begun to face the significance of Shen Mo's existence and the purpose behind his appearance.
"Our trade isn't limited to money." Shen Mo pulled out a banknote and held it between two fingers with a smile. "Currency embodies the desires that an entire world has invested in it. That makes it a valuable commodity to us, and its value can only be realized through trade."
"I see." Tsunade held her chin and pondered for a moment before raising her eyes. "What does that mean?"
"" Shen Mo felt somewhat exasperated. "In short, our purpose is simply to trade Jars."
One lie always required countless more lies to cover it up.
He was fooling her anyway. If she couldn't understand, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Is that so?" Tsunade did not know whether she believed him, but a confident smile suddenly appeared on her face. "I'll be watching you carefully to see whether things are really as you say. If I discover that you have any ulterior motives, then hmph."
"Lady Tsunade." Shizune's eyes sparkled like little stars.
How many years had it been since she had last seen Tsunade so spirited?
Shen Mo was speechless.
Did this count as bringing it upon himself?
"Then go get some rest first." Tsunade waved her hand. "We'll set out first thing tomorrow morning."
"Hm?" Shen Mo froze, only realizing afterward that when she said "set out," she meant that he was included as well.
"After all, you said your purpose was to trade, didn't you?" Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, her smile undiminished. "Konoha has plenty of wealthy people, and they will definitely be interested in your Jars. What is it? You don't want to go? Or are you saying"
This merchant's origins and the products he sold were both far too mysterious.
If left unchecked,
who knew what trouble he might cause? Just the things she had opened from the Jars were enough to restore her to her peak, and she had even gained several trump cards.
Bringing him back to Konoha
was the best solution.
Meanwhile, Shen Mo felt a strange sensation well up inside him.
The Third Hokage was not dead yet. If Tsunade returned to the village now, the entire plot would be thrown into chaos.
Forget it. It didn't matter.
Besides, Konoha really was a good place. There were plenty of wealthy clients there. Although he was not powerful enough yet, his one-time products meant he did not have to worry too much about his safety. At worst, he could still escape.
All he wanted now was to make money.
With the ability of the system in his mind, as long as he had money, there would be nothing to fear.
