The shop assistant at the Big Ivan Ninja Tool Shop, named Kajika Yachiru, is also a child that Hongshi rescued from Orochimaru.
Lord God: "It's here! Forced plot development! By the way, when will Matsumoto Rangiku appear???"
Kajika's ability is Transparent Release Technique similar to Gekko Hayate, allowing her to use Chakra to hide her body. She also has an extreme obsession with cleanliness, so all her ninja tools are polished until they shine.
"Squeak~"
The wooden door was pushed open, and Tenten and Hongshi peeked inside.
Upon seeing the Hongshi appear, the Kajika quickly stopped, tossing her pink hair. "Big Brother... Welcome to Big Ivan Ninja Tool Shop! What do you need? We have Chakra ninja tools, Chakra Armor, and Chakra- Firearm Ninja Tools!"
Tenten had originally intended to exchange a few pleasantries, but upon seeing the ninja tools on the shelf, her eyes lit up with a gleam of green. Forget everything else, she immediately grabbed a Chakra Barrett rifle. "Wow! What a powerful design! It looks even more powerful than a sniper rifle!"
Kajika quickly chimed in, "Oh! So you also have Chakra ninja tools! Then you must know their power. Compared to the sniper rifle, the Barrett charges slower and consumes more Chakra, but its power is twice that of the sniper rifle."
"Twice the price!" Tenten exclaimed, even more excited, "How much is this? I'll buy it!"
Seeing that she was about to successfully complete her first transaction, Kajika became excited. " The Chakra Barrett is a finely crafted Chakra- Firearm Ninja Tools, priced at 500,000 taels. Since you are our first customer today, we'll give you a 20% discount! 400,000 taels."
"Bang!"
Tenten slammed Barrett back onto the table. "What! Four hundred thousand taels? Are you sure?"
"Yes... yes."
Even Hongshi thought the price was a bit too high.
Unexpectedly, Tenten immediately opened her right hand and said, "Give me four!"
Kajika: "??? Okay... okay."
Hongshi: "Σ() Holy crap, Tenten, you're so rich!"
Tenten pressed a button on the Barrett, activating a mechanism that shrunk to the size of a palm. "You probably don't know, but I'm the richest person in the Shinobi World. To be conservative, the daily interest on my bank deposits is... oh no, that's too outrageous, about half the total assets of the Hyuga Clan."
Hongshi: "You're just getting more arrogant!"
The Lord God: "Oh! You know that too!"
Hongshi winked at the Kajika, Kajika nodded and said, "Understood! May I ask your name?"
Tenten put away the disc. "My name is Tenten, and I'm Genin from Konoha."
"Next, I will introduce you to the basic Chakra tool equipment: the Five Release Shuriken."
"Basic? You're underestimating me. That's something ordinary ninjas will use in the future. Give me the most expensive stuff!"
"Understood! Please take a look at this. This is the Chakra Blue Fire Gatling Type One, our most expensive Firearm Ninja Tools..."
"Give me five rounds first, then I'll explain."
In the end, Tenten swept through every ninja tool, big and small, in the Big Ivan Ninja Tool Shop, spending a total of 20 billion. Looking at the check in her hand with a string of zeros, Kajika burst into tears. "Waaaaah, I'm finally rich! So many zeros, my head is spinning!"
Tenten Tian sealed all the weapons into a special scroll, finally somewhat satisfied. He put the scroll away, clapped his hands, and said, "Hmm, not bad."
Hongshi then remembered what he was supposed to do. "Oh! I almost forgot! Tenten, didn't we come here to discuss buying ninja tools for Konoha? Why are you buying them yourself first!"
Tenten laughed and said, "Hey, no rush, let's build a good relationship first."
Before gently putting it away, the Kajika bowed and clasped her hands in a fist salute. " Tenten, is there anything else you need? As for Chakra ninja tools, I can order them from the Nuclear Ninja Village."
Tenten said, "Of course, after all, the power of ninja tools is greatly reduced after being used a second time."
Hongshi gave a thumbs up. "You're rich, so whatever you say goes."
Xiao Daocao chimed in, "Sister Tenten, money is everything!"
When the conversation turned to business, Tenten's post-shopping elation vanished, and she became serious. "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. You're a ninja from the Nuclear Ninja Village, right?"
The Kajika nodded.
Tenten produced a scroll handwritten by the Hokage: "This scroll contains what our Lord Hokage wants to say to your Nuclear Shadow. I hope you will immediately return to the Land of Spring and deliver this scroll to him."
The Kajika took the scroll, looking at Hongshi fiddling with the Blue Flame Gatling Gun with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "Elder, really, why do you make me run errands for something that can be done with a mere thought?"
"Hatch! Who insulted me?"
Xiao Daocao: "Master, you must have done something naughty again!"
The Kajika nodded and said, "I understand, I'll set off right away."
After saying that, Tenten pulled Hongshi along, saying, "Stop fiddling around, let's go try it somewhere where there's no one around!"
Hongshi: "Great! Great!"
Forest of Death
Hongshi put down the Xiao Daocao and stood under a tree.
"Quick! Try using the Barrett to see if it can break through my defenses."
Holding a Barrett rifle, Tenten swallowed hard. " Hongshi... are you sure?"
Hongshi stuck a thousand leaves between his eyebrows. "Of course I'm sure, quick, give me a shot!"
"If you don't shoot, I won't teach you Ninjutsu."
"Bang!"
Flames spewed from the Barrett's muzzle, and Chakra bullet trailing a fiery tail flew out swiftly, striking Hongshi precisely between the eyebrows.
"Boom!"
The Hongshi stood firm, white smoke rising from its brow, but it was unharmed. However, the surrounding soil trembled, and the resulting air pressure made Xiao Daocao feel very uncomfortable. "Master! Are you alright!"
Hongshi gave a thumbs up. "Of course you're fine! But the power of that shot was indeed impressive; it could Sasuke from a distance, but Susanoo."
Tenten, sweating profusely, put down his Barrett rifle, completely oblivious to Hongshi's muttering, "Huff, huff, huff, this Chakra consumption is too much! It's even more than an RPG! Two shots are my limit!"
Seemingly having heard the commotion, the wild beasts in the Forest of Death knew that people were there and rushed over, with the bloodsucking worms on the trees being the first to be attacked.
Xiao Daocao covered her face. "Ugh! What a disgusting bug! Ugh!"
Hongshi continued, " Tenten! Use the Gatling gun!"
"Oh! Hongshi-kun, what are you doing here?"
A figure appeared beside Tenten; it was Kakashi. He greeted Xiao Daocao, "Oh! What a cute little girl! You must be Hongshi's new apprentice?"
Because of Kakashi's appearance, Hongshi was overwhelmed by the bloodsucking worms. "Ugh! What disgusting worms! Tenten! You! Shoot me! Oh my god! It can even flick its tongue!"
Kakashi ignored Hongshi's cries for help, instead showing great interest in the Gatling gun in her hand. "Oh! What kind of new ninja tool is this? Was it made by the Nuclear Ninja Village?"
Tenten nodded. "That's right! I was just about to test its power!"
Kakashi wasn't too keen on ninja tools. " Tenten, ninja tools are just tools. Relying too much on them will lead to..."
"Fire!"
"Whoosh..."
Before Kakashi could finish his lecture, the six barrels of the Chakra Blue Fire Gatling gun spun, Chakra bullets rained down on the bloodsucking worms that were engulfing the Hongshi.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the ancient trees behind were being destroyed by bullets at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see.
Ten seconds later, Tenten's Chakra was exhausted, and she leaned on Gatling gun, panting heavily. "Kaka... Kakashi-sensei, what were you trying to say just now?"
Kakashi eye widened. "N-nothing... it's nothing."
Hongshi stood there and laughed, " Kakashi, times have changed. How about a Chakra Furnace to replenish your chakra?"
Kakashi quickly held up three fingers. "Give me three first. What other ninja tools do you have? Hurry up and bring them out."
Xiao Daocao pulled a Kunai from her bosom. The Kunai was inscribed with numerous spell formulas. "This is Wind Release Kunai that Sister Tenten gave me. Look!"
"I want this too."
