Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 49

Upon seeing the name of the ninjutsu, Bai Ye coughed lightly. "Guest, you don't need to pay attention to the last line of notes. Based on the minimum ten years of life force required to recover from your hidden injuries, you only need thirty-seven more ninjutsu of the same level."

The first and only time the Great Fireball Technique was effectively recycled, the shop offered 1164 Origin Coins. Bai Ye casually rounded down the amount as a reward for his hard work in recycling it himself, and then crossed out another zero and reported it to the Third Generation.

He's been getting better and better at this lately, and this old man in front of him isn't a good person either. He's using something from the Uchiha clan and has the nerve to claim it's his own original ninjutsu.

In subsequent transactions, the Third Hokage also sold his original ninjutsu "Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique", "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique", "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"...

His talent in creating ninjutsu almost made Bai Ye break his vow and slap the guy's old face with his own shoe.

……

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

Looking at the rapidly changing scenery around him, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the clock, compared it with the number he had silently counted in his mind, and immediately came to a conclusion.

Are the times on both sides synchronized?

Just then, a voice from the Anbu rang out from outside the door: "Lord Hokage, the official tournament is about to begin, you..."

"Tell Lord Kazekage I'll be right there." Leaning back in his hard chair, the Third Hokage rubbed his temples.

A transit station connecting countless worlds, a woman who could easily suppress him yet seemed to be just a subordinate, a shop manager who claimed to be undefeated, who truly healed his hidden injuries, and whose continued use could restore his youthful vitality...

All of this left him feeling lost and unsure how to cope.

Having composed himself and feeling somewhat lost, the Third Generation straightened his clothes, opened the door, and went outside.

In the direction he walked, the audience and contestants had all arrived and were preparing for the final official match of the Chunin Exams.

Chapter 117 Third Hokage: "Orochimaru, I'm going to smash your dog's head in today!"

As a channel for lower-level ninjas from the five major ninja villages and various small and medium-sized ninja villages to strive for the middle ranks, and it is held in Konoha, a place that produces legends, so there should be no surprises in the Chunin Exams.

At least before the accident, no one, including the Third Generation who had a vague sense of unease, thought anyone would be so reckless as to jump out and commit suicide at such a time.

The masterminds behind the scenes certainly don't count!

However, white feathers began to fall throughout the audience, and at the same time, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly pulled out a kunai and held it to his throat. Then the Third Kazekage realized he was wrong.

"Lord Kazekage, are you planning to start the Fourth Shinobi World War?" The Third Hokage frowned slightly as he glanced at the purple barrier that had trapped him and the Kazekage inside.

"The Fourth Shinobi World War, huh? What a grand title." The Fourth Kazekage licked his lips. "But my goal isn't something as boring as war. My goal is to change history..."

"Sarutobi-sensei~"

"It's you, Orochimaru!!!" This strange tone immediately reminded the Third Hokage of his most talented disciple, who was also the one who hurt him the most.

Although Jiraiya and Tsunade also couldn't stand the darkness in Konoha and chose to leave to avoid seeing it, this is truly the only one who directly used violent means to become a rogue ninja.

"Well, although I didn't think of it at first, you immediately called out my name when you heard my voice. I'm really flattered by your behavior, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru dropped his disguise and stood openly in front of the Third Hokage: "Since you are so kind to me, then I, as your disciple, will lend a hand and help you end your ridiculous life."

"Orochimaru... what about the Fourth Kazekage?" Although he had already guessed the answer, the Third Hokage still asked the question he cared about most, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Now I'm wearing the Kazekage's hat, leading the younger generation of Sand Ninja here to participate in the Chunin Promotion Exams. With your intelligence, Sarutobi-sensei, you shouldn't be unable to guess that idiot's fate, right?" Orochimaru smirked. "Or is it that you actually already guessed it, but just don't want to admit it?"

"The soul is pale!"

Knowing that his most prized disciple had done the very thing he least wanted to see, the Third Hokage roared and charged forward to fight Orochimaru.

Moments later, Orochimaru was hit by one of the Third Hokage's ninjutsu. He had no choice but to use his own Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique to evade it.

"As expected of Sarutobi-sensei, even in his old age, he almost overwhelmed me." Orochimaru bit his thumb and began forming hand seals: "In that case, I hope you won't blame me for ganging up on you. After all, the ultimate goal of a ninja is victory in battle, and that's what you taught me, Sarutobi-sensei."

"These are..." Looking at the numbers on the three coffins summoned by Orochimaru, the Third Hokage had a bad feeling.

"Yes, it's the technique you guessed, teacher. After years of research, I've thoroughly understood its principles. I hope you won't be disappointed." Orochimaru gave the Third Hokage a strange smile.

The three generations remained silent, seemingly making some important decision.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Orochimaru used a series of techniques to summon figures that looked exactly like two people on the Hokage Rock using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which made the Anbu outside very anxious.

As for the third one... Orochimaru tried several times but couldn't open it.

"Although I don't know why I failed when summoning the Fourth Hokage, with the First Hokage, known as the God of Shinobi, and the Second Hokage, known as the fastest shinobi in the world and nicknamed the Water God, they should be more than capable of dealing with an old man nearing the end of his life. It's just a pity that I originally wanted to see who was faster, the Second or the Fourth." With two true big shots backing him up, Orochimaru spoke with great confidence, "First Hokage, Second Hokage, what do you say?"

"This feeling... it seems that Tobirama, your technique research has been successful?" The First Hokage stretched his limbs and looked at the Second Hokage with surprise.

Tobirama Senju glared at his elder brother with a dark expression: "Haven't you realized that we are the invaders in Konoha's eyes now? I don't think being resurrected under these circumstances is a good thing."

"Oh, I see. No wonder something felt off." The First Generation slapped his forehead in frustration, but his attention was quickly diverted by something else. "Is that a little monkey over there? How did it get so old in the blink of an eye?"

"Hmm... his strength is still alright, but it's a pity he's getting old." The second generation added insult to injury.

The third generation, having just made his decision, discovers that the first and second generations are releasing their biographies addressing the question of whether he is old or not: "..."

I know you guys are unreliable, but do you have to be this out of touch?

Especially you, teacher, did you reincarnate with a part of the goofy personality of the first generation?

"Senpai Sarutobi, why are you silent? Is it because you haven't seen your two seniors for so long that you're too excited to know what to say?" Orochimaru smiled at the Third Hokage.

"Oh, you call me Teacher Little Monkey?"

"So I was reincarnated as a Konoha ninja, and I'm supposed to destroy Konoha?"

"..."

Unable to tolerate their constant chatter any longer, Orochimaru used a technique to silence them.

Watching Orochimaru "abuse" the two of them, the Third Hokage found that he was not angry at all, but rather a little happy... cough.

"Orochimaru, I was still considering whether to use this trump card here, but since you have already attacked the spirits of your ancestors and maliciously killed the Kage of another village, I feel that I cannot let you continue like this."

"Oh, so is the teacher planning to show me some amazing special skill?"

"Ultimate move... calling it that doesn't seem so wrong?"

Under Orochimaru's bewildered gaze, the Third Hokage pulled several cards from his pocket, took one out, put the others back, and then broke the card he had taken out into pieces.

A burst of green light merged into the body of the third generation.

Under the watchful eyes of Orochimaru and the First and Second Hokage, whose eyes still functioned despite their bodies being controlled, the Third Hokage began to exhibit reverse aging development. In just a few breaths, he grew from a 1.6-meter-tall old man into a 1.8-meter-tall, muscular giant.

Feeling an unprecedented surge of power within him, the Third Hokage summoned his old friend Enma, transforming him into the Golden Cudgel and striking it on the ground. His burning gaze locked onto Orochimaru, whose forehead was already beaded with cold sweat.

"Orochimaru, in the name of your teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm going to smash your head in today, you traitorous disciple!"

Chapter 118 Hiruzen Sarutobi? Wrong! I am Hiruzen Sarutobi!

In the end, the Third Hokage couldn't bring himself to kill Orochimaru.

After beating his former disciple half to death, the Third Hokage, carrying Orochimaru who had turned into a puddle of mud, smashed the Four Purple Flame Formation surrounding him with a single blow, then killed Orochimaru who was wreaking havoc in the village with several more blows, and finally knocked down Gaara who had just freed one of Shukaku's claws, ending this anticlimactic rebellion amidst the admiring gazes of the Konoha 1s.

"Jiraiya, go find Danzo and ask him why such a huge mess has occurred and why I can't see a single Root member. If he can't give an explanation, then I'll go ask him myself!"

Jiraiya: "..."

Why does this old man's mental state seem so strange to me, like he's on drugs?

Also, why did he suddenly become so young? Did he use the chakra-sealing technique that Tsunade mentioned before, which was for unforeseen circumstances?

It doesn’t look like it either…

Filled with doubt, Jiraiya sent the toad he had summoned back to the Spirit World, and after getting his bearings, headed towards Root's headquarters.

Meanwhile, the third generation, who had meticulously arranged how to handle the aftermath of this chaotic battle, had once again arrived at the Dimensional Shop.

……

"Tell me what you did?"

Perhaps due to the excessive amount of life force ingested at once, the Third Generation was still in a state of "full of energy." After entering the Dimensional Shop, before Byakuya could even speak, the Third Generation recounted his journey of transformation from a withered old man into a fleshy demon to Byakuya and Black Jeanne in a theatrical style.

Upon hearing this plot, which even fan fiction wouldn't dare to include, Bai Ye's jaw slammed onto the counter.

"I was just doing what a teacher and a shadow should do," the Third Hokage said proudly.

Bai Ye always felt that if this guy kept jumping around like this, he might fall victim to some hidden, scheming person's health bar-emptying technique at any time after they went back.

"Shopkeeper, could you please confirm again...? Things like ninjutsu are only useful the first time they're sold, right?"

"Do you think it's necessary for me to spend money to buy something again if I already have one?" Bai Ye asked rhetorically.

“That’s true.” The Third Hokage nodded, demonstrating to Byakuya what it meant to say something shocking.

"Manager, I plan to sell all the ninjutsu I know."

"Pfft—" Bai Ye spat out a mouthful of tea onto the ground in front of him.

As the "strongest Hokage of all time," one of the Third Hokage's titles was "Professor of Ninjutsu." This title originated from rumors that the Third Hokage was proficient in all existing ninjutsu of Konoha—excluding the secret techniques of bloodline clans.

Although it's just a title, the fact that no one objects to the title of "Professor of Ninjutsu" suggests that this statement might be somewhat exaggerated, but the Third Hokage's changes in the five chakra natures were certainly significant.

Judging from the long string of five attributes he used and some secret techniques from some unknown family, this claim is clearly plausible.

"Oh right, there's one more." Seeing Bai Ye counting the ninjutsu he had memorized, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and took out a scroll that was taller than a person.

"The Book of Seals"!

Upon seeing this item, which marked the first time the protagonist had officially activated his power-up (besides his Nine-Tails), Bai Ye silently priced the ninjutsu on it while mentally labeling the Third Hokage as "ruthless and leaving no way out."

Because of his actions, even if Konoha ninjas have the chance to enter the dimensional shop, the items they can sell will be greatly reduced. Some ninjas without secret techniques might even find out that he's just here for a day trip.

For example, Kakashi Kouichi...

Unique ninjutsu, Lightning Blade?

Sorry, the item you are selling has already been listed in our store.

Thousands of ninjutsu copied using the Sharingan?

Congratulations, customer! According to the test, there are 53 items available for sale, totaling 10086 Origin Coins.

Watching the Third Hokage, who had sold most of the village's ninjutsu but acted as if he had only eaten a bowl of tonkotsu ramen at Ichiraku Ramen, Byakuya gave him the middle finger after he left with a massive amount of life force and several life-saving items.

"Master, are you very dissatisfied with the deal with that old man?"

"No, that's not it. Actually, if the first time was just a small taste of success, then this time it was the real deal that made me a fortune." Bai Ye smiled with complete satisfaction.

I simply despise that guy for ripping off his own people in Konoha and then acting so self-righteous about it...

That's right, but unfortunately, as a professional businessman, he couldn't refuse a transaction where the money was cleared and he was in the right. At least he condemned the old man because of his conscience!

"Little Zhenzhen, I'm a good person, right?"

"A good person..." Jeanne Alter tilted her head, "Shouldn't she...?"

……

Meanwhile, back at the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage took a deep breath and ordered the ninjas standing guard outside to invite in the elders and Jiraiya, who had been waiting for a long time.

After a group of people came in noisily, their first focus was naturally on the changes across the three generations.

Judging from how easily he suppressed the turmoil, it's clear that this wasn't just a matter of changing his appearance with a transformation technique. He had genuinely restored his body to his age, and combined with the ninjutsu that the Third Hokage had studied for most of his life, his current fighting power would be absolutely terrifying when he got angry.

After hesitating for a moment, Danzo couldn't help but speak first: "Hiruzen, your current state..."

"You shouldn't ask..." The Third Hokage's gaze sharpened: "Don't ask."

Feeling the overwhelming pressure that instantly subdued him, Danzo felt extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, he had a feeling that if he made any more trouble at this point, this madman might actually kill him right there.

"Speaking of which... old man, are you still the same old man I know now? 087?" Danzo was crushed to death, but that didn't mean others didn't have their questions. For example, Jiraiya at least needed to confirm that the person in front of him with the same face as the young Third Hokage was the Third Hokage himself, and not someone else who had replaced him.

"...You all have similar questions, right?" The Third Hokage looked around.

Nodding, nodding.

"Then I'll go through them one by one. Danzo, when you were seven, you peeked at the aunt next door taking a bath and her husband caught you and flicked your little penis for ten minutes. Menyan, when you were five..."

"Shut up! We believe your identity now!!!" Only the angry shouts from a group of old men stopped the third generation from spouting his dark past.

Adjusting his Hokage hat, the Third Hokage's playful expression vanished. "Now no one will question my identity, right?"

"..."

"Then let's talk about the two things we need to do next. First, the reconstruction of the village after the war, which will be handled by Elders Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado; second, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure is still in our hands, so you two should discuss how to take his flesh."

What if they deny that the compensation they're asking for is too high?

"He dares?" The Third Hokage's eyes widened. "The Fourth Kazekage died at Orochimaru's hands, and now the Jinchuriki is in our hands. What else can they do but agree? If you're not happy, I'll personally go to the Sand Village!"

However, at that time, we will have to use persuasion (physical methods).
