Naruto:Special Shop

"The golden eggs are merely containers. The real value lies in what's inside! When cracked open, they reveal three magical items, some of which can instantly enhance a ninja's strength!"

"Here are some of the items I obtained from that golden egg shop." Asuma placed a Special Cigar on the table in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The shop owner claimed this cigar can significantly boost Chakra without side effects. I tested it myself, and it was exactly as he described!"

"Oh?" Hiruzen picked up the cigar with great interest.

Putting down his pipe, he lit it and took a deep inhale.

Suddenly, Hiruzen's eyes widened.

As he exhaled the smoke, he felt his Chakra surging, the energy in his body becoming more active by at least 30%.

For a brief moment, it felt as if he had returned to his prime years.

"Hmmm... truly remarkable!" he murmured, exhaling a long plume of smoke.

"Not only that," Kurenai added, "my team—Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hyuga Hinata—all obtained powerful items from the shop. Their strength has increased dramatically."

"Furthermore, we observed that whenever a golden egg was broken, another one would automatically appear in its place."

"This suggests that the shop owner possesses a large and possibly unlimited supply of golden eggs!"

"Hokage-sama, what should we do about this golden egg shop?" Asuma asked cautiously.

The primary reason for their report was to seek guidance on how to handle the situation regarding this mysterious and powerful shopkeeper.

Hiruzen remained silent, his brows furrowed in thought.

This shop…

It was completely beyond his understanding.

Even as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," he had never encountered such an artifact before.

Golden eggs that could generate power-enhancing items?

If the shop owner truly possessed an endless supply, this was no trivial matter.

Handled poorly, it could lead to a disaster for Konoha.

If the shop owner meant no harm, then everything would be fine.

But if he turned against Konoha, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Konoha's military strength was already waning:

Sakumo Hatake had taken his own life.

The Three Sannin had left the village.

The Fourth Hokage was gone.

The Uchiha Clan had been wiped out.

After a long pause, Hiruzen finally spoke.

"Before I decide, I want to hear your opinions." He looked at Asuma.

"We should observe him for now," Asuma replied after careful thought.

"We know almost nothing about him. If we act rashly and provoke him, we could trigger a disaster equal to the Nine-Tails attack!"

Hiruzen's expression darkened.

Since the death of the Fourth Hokage, few had dared to speak of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

For Asuma to compare the shop owner to such a catastrophe… it proved how seriously he took this matter.

"Explain," Hiruzen urged.

"Today, Hinata Hyuga purchased a pet called Pikachu from the shop," Asuma continued.

"It looks like an ordinary animal, but it possesses incredible Lightning Ninjutsu."

"We witnessed its power firsthand. It unleashed a 100,000-volt attack, completely shattering a puppet made of refined iron."

"And according to Hinata, when Pikachu grows stronger, it can release up to 200 million volts!"

"..." Hiruzen was speechless.

If 100,000 volts could cause so much destruction, what would happen if Pikachu truly matured?

Could it annihilate Konoha?

Asuma's concerns were entirely valid.

Hiruzen took a long drag from his cigar, filling the office with thick smoke.

After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke.

"You're right."

"If this shop owner can sell such powerful artifacts at will, it means he doesn't value them at all."

"We must ensure we do not provoke him. Instead, we should build a good relationship with him!"

Hiruzen's voice carried unshakable certainty.

"Moreover… if these golden eggs are so powerful, they could also be an opportunity for Konoha…" he mused.

Hiruzen's eyes hardened with resolve.

"Starting tomorrow, all Anbu will take turns visiting the shop to purchase golden eggs."

"At the same time, they are to establish friendly relations with the owner."

"Understood, Hokage-sama!" A masked Anbu materialized, took the order, and vanished.

"As for you two," Hiruzen addressed Asuma and Kurenai, "continue as usual."

"Do nothing that might make him suspicious. And if the opportunity arises, show him our goodwill."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" they both bowed in unison.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Yes!"

Asuma and Kurenai turned to exit—

"Wait."

Hiruzen suddenly called out.

"Asuma, you purchased three boxes of cigars…"

"Leave one for me."

"..." Asuma's eyelid twitched.

Seriously?!

That Special Cigar had cost him 6,000 ryo!

But since it was his father, he had no choice but to hand one over.

Asuma and Kurenai left the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile…

A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness and swiftly disappeared into the night.

Root Headquarters

In a dimly lit chamber, Danzo Shimura sat at his desk, reviewing classified documents.

Suddenly, a masked Root ninja knelt before him.

"Lord Danzo, there is new information."

"Speak."

The Root agent detailed everything from the Hokage's meeting—down to the last word.

"A golden egg shop, huh…" Danzo muttered.

"Could this be… the same place that Yamanaka Ino spoke about earlier today?"

Initially, Danzo had dismissed Ino's loud boasts about the Golden Egg Shop.

Just childish nonsense.

But after hearing this detailed report, he realized he had been too careless.

This shop appeared out of nowhere…

And possesses an unlimited supply of powerful golden eggs…

Danzo's single visible eye gleamed coldly.

"What exactly does this man want?"
