Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild

Resurrection!

The instant that word was spoken, Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted.

An indescribable pressure surged from her body.

Even Shizune tightly covered her mouth.

Yet Shen Mo seemed not to notice anything at all and maintained his smile.

He felt that the time had come.

From the free Jars until now, step by step, it was time to reveal something truly explosive.

"Miss Tsunade, you must have lost someone important. In your world, such things happen far too often."

"Our world?" Tsunade repeated.

"Then let me formally introduce myself." Shen Mo chuckled. "I am Shen Mo, a merchant from another world affiliated with the Omniscient and Omnipotent Merchant Guild."

This identity was naturally fabricated.

Shen Mo had thought it through long ago.

Some of the things he brought out were simply impossible to explain.

Some of 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 merchant from another world would not only explain the origins of his goods, but also add to his mystery. When necessary, he could even use it as a banner to make certain people think twice before acting rashly.

Besides, as long as he sold enough Jars, at this rate of profit, he would soon grow powerful.

"Another world?" Tsunade seemed even more confused.

Although the Naruto world had quite a bit of black technology, it was essentially still a technologically backward society.

Ordinary people had no concept of other worlds.

"That's right. The world is not the only one."

Shen Mo slowly raised his hand and customized a one-use Mirror Technique through the system.

At the point where his fingertip lightly tapped.

Countless illusory images slowly emerged.

There were unimaginable skyscrapers, countless massive metal monsters pouring from black holes in the sky to battle bizarre warriors; there were imposing armies, enormous trees walking upright like humans, and giant dragons breathing fire; there were gods standing amid the clouds, wielding lightning to punish the world.

All of them.

Were scenes from movies Shen Mo had watched.

His calm voice slowly rang out.

"We travel through countless worlds, trading goods with every kind of being, whether human or god. So please, do not use the perspective of a single world to limit our capabilities." Shen Mo spoke softly. "Perfect resurrection, without any cost or flaw—such goods are something we possess as well. They are hidden within these Jars, which can be called treasures."

"..."

Tsunade did not speak for a long time. Shizune even subconsciously bit the hand covering her lips, as though trying to determine whether she was dreaming.

Yet the incomparably realistic images before them.

And the unheard-of, miraculous goods inside the Jars.

All proved that this was reality.

No one knew how much time had passed before Tsunade's slightly hoarse voice broke the silence.

"How much will it take to obtain the resurrection you spoke of?"

Her fists were tightly clenched, and her body trembled slightly. Yet her face did not carry its usual tough expression. Instead, she pressed her lips tightly together, looking unexpectedly vulnerable.

Because she truly, desperately.

Wanted to see them again.

"I don't know." Shen Mo shook his head. "If it's the resurrection of someone of ordinary strength, then theoretically, it could appear in a Level 3 Chest. But if you open enough Jars, it will definitely appear. These Jars respond to the Chest Opener's deepest wishes."

Level 1 Chests sold for three thousand Trading Points.

Level 2 Chests sold for thirty thousand Trading Points.

Level 3 Chests sold for three hundred thousand Trading Points.

And so on.

As for resurrecting Nawaki, even a customized service would only cost around four hundred thousand Trading Points.

After all, he had only been a twelve-year-old Genin.

Dan Katō, on the other hand, would be much more expensive.

"A Level 3 Chest costs five million each?" Tsunade's gaze gradually hardened. "I'll gather the money."

"The more, the better." Shen Mo reminded her. "The more you open, the greater your hope of obtaining it."

Though he sympathized with Tsunade somewhat, he had not forgotten his principles as a merchant.

He would leave the Resurrection Coin for last.

After all, there would be no shortage of other good things.

"The more, the better?" Tsunade looked at Shen Mo, her brows furrowing. "You came to our world just to sell goods? You can travel between different worlds and possess so many miraculous items, yet you are still so interested in money?"

That Water of Life alone.

Even a Daimyo would spare no expense to obtain it.

Because of the Cross of Courage and the new goal she had found, Tsunade had now emerged from her state of despair.

And as a result.

She had begun to confront the significance of Shen Mo's existence, as well as his purpose in appearing here.

"What we trade in is not merely money." Shen Mo pulled out a banknote, pinched it between two fingers, and smiled. "Currency carries within it the desires that people in a world have condensed upon it. To us, that makes it a valuable item, and that value can only be realized through trade."

"I see." After pinching her chin and pondering for a moment, Tsunade lifted her eyes. "What does that mean?"

"..." Shen Mo had a bit of a headache. "In short, our purpose is simply to trade Jars."

One lie always required countless other lies to cover it up.

Anyway, he was just bluffing. If she did not 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 keep a close eye on you and see whether things are truly as you say. If I discover that you have any bad intentions, hmph."

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune's eyes sparkled with little stars.

How many years had it been? How many years had it been since she had seen Tsunade so spirited?

Shen Mo was somewhat speechless.

Did this count as bringing trouble upon himself?

"Then get some rest first." Tsunade waved a hand. "We leave early tomorrow morning."

"Hm?" Shen Mo froze, then realized that when she said they were leaving, she included him as well.

"After all, you said your purpose is to trade, right?" Tsunade crossed her arms, her smile unchanged. "Konoha has plenty of wealthy people, and they will definitely be interested in your Jars. What, you don't want to go? Or is it that—"

This merchant's origins and the goods he sold were both far too mysterious.

If she simply left him alone.

Who knew what trouble he might cause? The things she had obtained from opening Jars alone could restore her to her peak condition and even give her several additional trump cards.

Bringing him back to Konoha.

Was the best approach.

Meanwhile, Shen Mo felt a strange sensation in his heart.

The Third Hokage was still alive. If Tsunade returned to the village now, the entire plot would be thrown into chaos.

Forget it. It did not matter.

Still, Konoha really was a good place. There were many major customers there, and although he was not strong enough yet, with one-use items, he did not need to worry too much about his safety. At worst, he could still escape.

Right now, he only wanted to make money.

With the capabilities of the system in his mind, as long as he had money, there was nothing to fear.
