After all, for a ninja, that feeling of being led step by step by someone else is really a bit annoying.
"No, no, no, I'm just a plain, honest All-Purpose Shop owner." Shinji smiled, seemingly not thinking that Kakashi's words had any other meaning.
"..."
Kakashi stared at Shinji with his dead fish eyes.
After a long time.
He took two items out of his bag and placed them in the cash box, then left the All-Purpose Shop.
[Ding]
[Congratulations, host, you have completed two transactions]
[Function 5: Earn 100 points for every 10 transactions completed, points can be exchanged for various items, current progress: 2/10]
Looking at the system prompt, Shinji smiled contentedly.
I'll close up shop for today, I need to prepare for the future.
Currently, he didn't know what this so-called point was useful for, so Shinji just set it aside, waiting to see what changes would happen after he completed the 10-transaction task.
He went to the cash box and took out the items Kakashi had placed there.
Hmm, he really is Kakashi.
There were only two items inside.
One was the same 1000 yen coin as before.
The other was Icha Icha by Jiraiya.
However, Kakashi was able to give him Icha Icha, it seemed that he had taken some of his words to heart.
Kakashi, who had just walked outside, suddenly realized something.
He searched his belongings.
"Where's my Icha Icha!!!" Kakashi looked utterly heartbroken.
That was a signed edition by Jiraiya, he had spent a lot of money to get it.
What a loss.
…
But now.
Shinji looked at the clock on the wall, it was still early.
Shinji decided to go out for a walk.
How could Zhongli just stay in the All-Purpose Shop?
He would listen to the hottest plays, tease the most beautiful warblers. His food, clothing, and utensils were all exquisite, only the matter of paying was not in the heart of Rex Lapis.
Perhaps, he should go and forge a Vortex Vanquisher suitable for him. However, the blacksmiths in the Leaf were all of average skill. If he really needed to forge one.
Shinji would still choose to go to the Iron Country, that's where the strongest blacksmiths were.
As he was strolling.
Shinji suddenly noticed a system prompt.
[Task 1: Untie Uchiha Itachi's heart knot, Reward: Temporary Card Draw Count +1]
[Task Progress: Completed]
[Task Reward: Temporary Card Draw Count +1]
[Reward has been automatically sent to the system, please check.]
"Hmm? Itachi-kun's task is actually completed." Shinji frowned.
It seemed that the conversation he had with Shisui had been told to Itachi by Shisui.
After listening to the conversation, Itachi had a new understanding of his heart knot.
So that was the reason for the task being completed.
But now…
Shinji curiously opened the system and saw a card floating there, surrounded by eerie blue light.
It seemed that this was the temporary card he received as a reward.
[Temporary Card does not occupy the role-playing character card slot, each use will provide three characters for the host to choose from, usage time limit: 30 minutes, the temporary card will automatically disappear after use, each use of the temporary card can obtain 60% of the character's peak strength!]
In other words, if Shinji's luck was good.
He might be able to draw some powerful characters. Even just 60% of their peak strength would be enough for Shinji to have 30 minutes of self-preservation ability.
Looking at the card that was constantly rotating, Shinji didn't hesitate, he directly clicked on it.
[Ding!]
[Temporary Card Draw Complete, please select the character you want to play]
[Option 1: Genshin Impact World - Barbatos - Wind God - Venti!]
[Option 2: One Piece World - Shichibukai - World's Greatest Swordsman - Hawkeye - Dracule Mihawk!]
[Option 3: One Punch Man World - Hero Hunter - Absolute Evil - Garou!]
Soon, three golden cards appeared in front of Shinji, each character representing a strong individual from a certain world. Although the temporary card could only obtain 60% of the character's peak strength.
But, that was enough.
This made Shinji a bit difficult to choose.
What brings you to the All-Purpose Shop?
Option 1 was actually very tempting.
Shinji thought about Venti's abilities.
He was: The Song of the High Sky, the Poet of Wind, the Singing Big Brother, the "Ehe" Fish-Catching True Monarch, the "Ehe" Idling True Monarch, Barbatos, White Silk Green Hat Man, the Nameless Elf…
Uh?
Did some weird nicknames get mixed in?
Cough?
One of the Seven Archons, the Wind God Barbatos Venti.
The spokesperson for the Wind attribute.
Shinji looked at Venti's option, then checked the next one.
Option 2, Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk.
The world's greatest swordsman in the One Piece world, one of the former "Shichibukai". He has always been alone, using a coffin as his ship. Currently.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, no one has surpassed him. It's just that, I don't know if the world's greatest swordsmanship can cut through the chopping board here…
Option 3.
Garou?
At first, when Shinji saw the words "One Punch Man", the first thing he thought of was the bald guy.
Of course.
If it was Saitama, the bald guy, then Shinji wouldn't need to think about other options, after all, he was the epitome of invincibility.
Emm…
60% of invincibility, is still invincibility, right?
It's just the difference between a normal punch and a serious punch…
But if it was Garou, then Shinji would have to think carefully.
After all, in an invincible anime, the villains are really… a bit pitiful.
Indeed, this time Shinji was really hesitant.
Although Garou had been ruled out by Shinji, there was still the choice between Venti and Hawkeye.
Time passed second by second, finally, Shinji made up his mind.
He reached out his finger and clicked on the second card.
[Ding!]
[Temporary Card Draw Complete]
[Host chooses to play as: One Piece World - Shichibukai - World's Greatest Swordsman - Hawkeye - Dracule Mihawk!]
With Shinji's final choice, Hawkeye Mihawk seemed to glance at Shinji, then the card emitted blue light, then quietly waited in the system.
While Venti and Garou's cards slowly sank into darkness, until they disappeared.
[Temporary Card Usage Rules: Click on the temporary card to complete the role-playing, you can choose whether to project the character image.]
After Shinji made his choice, he directly closed the system.
Now, besides this temporary card, there were only two tasks left.
One was Itachi's, and the other was the transaction task.
Now he had 60% of Hawkeye's strength, although it was only 60%, it should be enough.
As long as he didn't encounter a Jōnin or above.
Then Shinji wouldn't have to worry too much.
Just as Shinji was about to tidy up the All-Purpose Shop and go out, there was another knock at the door.
"Come in." Shinji looked curiously at the entrance, his All-Purpose Shop had been deserted these past few days, except for Kakashi coming in just now, it had been quiet for several days.
Shinji returned to his seat and looked at the person who walked in, he was stunned.
No other reason.
The person who came in was none other than Uchiha Mikoto.
60% similar to Itachi, except for the nasolabial folds, in other words, she was Uchiha Itachi's mother.
At this time, she was holding a baby in her arms. Judging from the baby's age, it should be Uchiha Sasuke.
But…
Why did Uchiha Mikoto come here?
Shinji was a little puzzled.
"Hello, boss, I apologize for the intrusion." Uchiha Mikoto glanced around, seemingly looking for something.
However, there was only Shinji in the shop, seemingly not finding the person she was looking for, Mikoto sat down on a chair with Sasuke in her arms.
"Hello, Madam Mikoto, what brings you to my All-Purpose Shop?" Shinji was only stunned for a moment, then immediately responded.
Unlike other Uchiha clan members, Itachi's gentleness seemed to be learned from Mikoto.
Uchiha Mikoto was like an anomaly, she was gentle to people, and had a good relationship with the people of the Leaf, she was Kushina's best friend.
"May I ask… uh… has Itachi-kun been coming here often recently?" Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have a hint of expectant blush on her face, she asked hesitantly.
"Itachi-kun? He has been here recently, is there something wrong?" Shinji frowned, did his contact with Itachi alert the Uchiha clan?
That's why Uchiha Mikoto came to investigate first?
After all, it would make Shinji less wary if a woman brought a child.
"No, no, it's just that… I heard that Itachi-kun has been coming here often recently…" Uchiha Mikoto was still looking around.
"Often?" Shinji thought for a moment, Itachi had only come to his shop twice at most, how could that be considered often?
"Yes! I heard he came with a girl, I came to see what kind of girl could charm our Itachi." Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have opened up, her eyes shining.
