Chapter 2: Chapter:2
"This little card... it can actually let me learn a jutsu instantly?!"
To make it easier for them to understand, Haruto explained it as a type of Ninjutsu.
"That's right! And the best part? It doesn't consume Chakra at all!"
"How... how is that even possible?!" Even Shikamaru, who had been standing idly, looked surprised.
Everyone knew that using Ninjutsu without Chakra was impossible. Yet, this shopkeeper was claiming that some strange blue crystal could release jutsu instead?
This was completely absurd!
"You're not trying to scam us, are you?" Shikamaru frowned, his sharp mind already doubting Haruto.
"If you don't believe me, why not try it for yourself?" Haruto spread his hands casually. "You have three chances anyway."
"Fine, let's give it a try!"
Following Haruto's instructions, Ino placed the Entangling Roots Experience Card on her chest and mentally commanded: "Use it!"
The card immediately transformed into a warm glow of light, which seeped into her body.
"Th-This..."
Shikamaru's eyes widened as he watched the experience card vanish into thin air right in front of him.
This was beyond anything he had ever seen before—it was pure magic!
"Wow! This is amazing!" Ino gasped in excitement.
In an instant, all the knowledge about the Entangling Roots jutsu filled her mind. She understood its power, its effects, and, most importantly—it required no hand seals!
A smirk formed on Ino's lips as she glanced at Shikamaru.
Without warning, she activated Entangling Roots!
The ground beneath Shikamaru's feet rippled, and suddenly, two emerald-green vines burst out, wrapping tightly around his legs!
"Whoa—what the hell?!"
Shikamaru struggled to move, but the vines held him firmly in place.
Two full seconds passed before the effect wore off, and the vines crumbled away, setting him free.
"So strong!" Ino cheered excitedly.
She hadn't expected such a simple jutsu to completely immobilize someone for two seconds.
On the battlefield, where fights were decided in mere moments, even a two-second delay could determine life or death.
And since this technique didn't require hand seals, she could use it at any moment, without warning!
"Boss, you weren't lying! These eggs are incredible!" Ino beamed.
"Haha, of course!" Haruto grinned.
"This blue crystal... it's what I used to activate the jutsu, right?" Ino held up the Blue Essence, realizing that 10 pieces had been consumed.
"And this liquid... is it really the Fat House Happy Water you mentioned?" Shikamaru asked, picking up the glowing drink.
"Yep! You saw it yourself—it really boosts Chakra significantly!" Haruto nodded confidently.
"Tsk! But I don't want to turn into a fatty just to increase my Chakra!" Ino pouted.
"But it's perfect for Choji—he's always looking for ways to eat more!"
"Haha, that's true," Shikamaru chuckled. "But make sure you never say those two words in front of him!"
"I know, I know!" Ino waved dismissively.
Everyone in the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans knew that Choji absolutely hated being called fat. If anyone did, they'd have to face his wrath!
"Boss, two more eggs!"
Having tasted success, Ino excitedly pulled out 2,000 Ryo and handed it over.
"No need for change!"
"Alright!" Haruto grinned and brought out two more golden eggs.
Bang! Bang!
Without hesitation, Ino smashed them open.
A dazzling golden glow filled the shop, revealing six floating items!
Blue Enchantress Flower Seeds ×50
Barbie Doll Set ×1
Blue Essence ×100
Regional Speaker ×3
Blue Essence ×50
Imperius Curse Experience Card
Haruto's eyes widened the moment he saw the last item.
"Whoa! What insane luck!"
Haruto never expected someone to unlock this so early.
The Imperius Curse—one of the Three Unforgivable Curses from the Harry Potter world!
It was an extremely powerful mind-control spell that could force anyone to obey the caster's command.
Effects:
The target enters a trance-like state, feeling extreme happiness and complete submission to the caster.
They will obey any command, even if it means self-destruction.
Consumes 20 Blue Essence per use.
However, repeated use on the same person could make them resistant to its effects.
"This is way stronger than the Yamanaka Clan's Mind-Body Switch Jutsu," Haruto thought.
While the Mind-Body Switch Jutsu allowed the user to take control of someone else's body, the Imperius Curse completely dominated their will without risk to the caster.
"Nani? Nani? What did I get?!" Ino's excitement peaked.
Haruto smirked and began explaining:
1. Blue Essence ×150
"You already know what this does, so I'll skip it!"
2. Blue Enchantress Flower Seeds
"These seeds grow into rare blue flowers. You should like them!"
"Yes! I love flowers!" Ino's eyes sparkled.
3. Barbie Doll Set
"It's basically a toy, but I figured girls might like it."
"KAWAII!" Ino squealed, hugging the doll instantly.
Haruto and Shikamaru exchanged exasperated looks.
"Women are so weird..."
4. Regional Speaker ×3
"Now, this one's interesting," Haruto said, holding up the small horn-like device.
"It's just a speaker, right? What's so special about it?" Shikamaru asked.
"Heh, don't underestimate it!" Haruto smirked. "This isn't an ordinary speaker..."
"Oh yeah? Then what's so different about it?"
"This speaker... lets you broadcast your voice across ALL of Konoha!"
"WHAT?!"
Both Ino and Shikamaru looked at him in disbelief.
"You're joking, right?! There's no way something like that exists!"
Haruto just smirked.
"Wanna test it out?"
