Resurrection!
The moment the word was spoken, the pupils of Tsunade's eyes contracted violently.
Unspeakable oppressive force surged from her body. Even Shizune had covered her mouth with a deadly gag.
However, it was as though Cale didn't notice anything and continued to keep his smile.
'It is about time', he thought.
From free cans, to now, step by step, it was finally time to give some slam dunks.
"Tsunade-sama, I think you've lost someone important ... In your world, occurrences like this are unfortunately not uncommon."
"Our world?" Tsunade repeated, a little confused.
"Let me formally introduce yourself."
Cale smiled lightly and said with an exaggerated bow, "I am an otherworldly merchant affiliated with the Omniscient and Omnipotent Chamber of Commerce, Cale."
This, naturally, was a fictitious identity that he created.
Cale had thought this through long ago.
Some of the things he took out were just unexplainable.
Some of the herbs that just existed didn't exist in this world.
That wasn't all, there will be more amazing items in the future.
Adding the identity of an otherworldly merchant would not only explain the origin of the merchandise, but also add to its own mystique, and if necessary, it could even pull up the flag and keep some people from acting rashly.
Besides, if he sold enough jars, he would soon become strong according to the profit.
"Otherworldly?"
Tsunade seemed even more confused.
Within the Naruto world, there was a lot of black technology, but it was still essentially a technologically backward society.
It was not unusual for people to have the concept of otherworldliness.
"That's right, this world…it's not the only one."
Cale slowly raised his hand and from within the system, customized a one-time mirroring spell.
"Showing you directly would be faster."
On the table, at the point where he tapped his fingertip, many unreal images slowly emerged.
There were unimaginably tall buildings, a multitude of huge metal monsters pouring out of black holes in mid-air and fighting strange warriors; loud armies, huge trees that stood and walked like men, and dragons that spewed fire; gods standing in the clouds, holding lightning to punish the world…
Everything — All of it were clips from movies that Cale had seen.
His voice rang out slowly amidst the flashing images.
"We walk in many worlds and trade goods with any being, be it a human, or a deity, so please do not limit our abilities with the eyes of one world."
Cale said softly, "A perfect resurrection, without any cost or flaw, is a commodity that we also have, hidden in these jars that could be called treasures."
"…"
Tsunade didn't reply for a long time, the situation was that absurd, and Shizune even subconsciously bit down on the palm of her hand covering her lips, as if to determine if she was dreaming by doing so.
But the unmistakably real images before her and the unheard-of magical item inside the jar told her it was reality.
Cale didn't know how long had passed, but Tsunade's voice with some huskiness finally broke the calm.
"How much does it take … to be able to open this resurrection you speak of?"
Her fists were clenched, while her body trembled slightly, but instead of a strong expression on her face, her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked surprisingly soft in a few ways.
Because she really, really wanted to see them again.
"…I honestly don't know."
Cale shook his head, "If it's resurrecting a person of average strength, theoretically… There is a possibility inside the third level jars…if enough jars are opened, there will definitely be one. Do remember these jars respond to the deepest wishes of the person who opened them."
A level 1 jar — worth 3,000 trade points.
A level 2 jar, worth 30,000 trade points.
A level 3 jar, worth 300,000 trade points.
And so on.
Resurrecting Tsuande's little brother, namely Nawaki, even with a custom service, would only be about 400,000 trade points.
After all, it was only a twelve-year-old shinobi.
Kato on the other hand… That'd be expensive.
"A level three jar…it's five million per ome?"
Tsunade's gaze grew firm, "I'll get the money together."
"The more the better."
Cale reminded, "The more you open, the more hope you have of getting what you desire."
Although there was some sympathy for Tsunade, he hadn't forgotten his principled nature as a businessman.
He had the plan of saving the resurrection coins for last.
Anyway, there will be no shortage of other goodies.
"More is better?"
Tsunade looked at Cale, her brows knitted, "You came to our world just to sell merchandise? To be able to travel to a different world with so many magical items and yet also be keen on money?"
Even if it's a big item, he would trade for it at any cost.
Because of the cross of courage as well as a new goal, Tsunade had come out of her decadent state and she began to confront the meaning behind Cale's words, and the… the purpose of his presence!
"What we are trading, is not just money."
Cale drew out a piece of paper money and held it between his two fingers, smiling, "Currency, which has a world's desire for it condensed on it, which is an item of value to us, and that value can only be reflected from the transaction."
"So that's it." Tsunade cupped her chin in contemplation for a moment before raising her eyes, "What does that mean?"
"..."
Cale had quite a headache, "Anyway, our purpose is just to trade jars."
One lie always had to be covered up with a million lies.
It was all a lark anyway, and there was not much you could do about it if you couldn't understand it.
"Just that?"
Tsunade wasn't sure if she believed it or not, but a confident smile suddenly appeared on her face, "I'll keep an eye on you to see if it's really as you say, and if I find out you have any bad intentions, hmmm."
"Tsunade-sama ..." Both of Shizune's eyes were blooming with little stars.
How many years had it been since she had seen such a spirited Tsunade?
Cale was then a bit speechless.
Was he asking for it?
"Then, go ahead and rest."
Tsunade raised a hand, "We'll leave first thing in the morning."
"Hm?"
Cale froze for a moment before he responded that the departure she was talking about surprisingly included himself.
"You said your purpose was to trade, right?"
Tsunade wrapped her arms around her chest, her smile unabashed, "Konoha, there are a lot of rich people there and would definitely be interested in your Jars, what, you don't want to go? Or is that…"
This merchant was far too mysterious, both in his origins and in the goods he sold.
He couldn't be left unattended.
Perhaps if she opened a more Jars, it would restore her to full strength, and may even have a few more cards up her sleeve.
Taking him back to Konoha…It was the best way to go about it.
Cale had an odd feeling flooding through his heart.
The plot would be all messed up if Tsunade returned to the village now that the Third Hokage didn't die…
… Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Still, Konoha was indeed a good place too, there were many big employers there, and while he wasn't strong enough, he didn't have to worry too much about safety and security with his disposable goods, and escape was still possible if not better.
All he wanted to do now was make money.
With the power of this system in his hands, as long as he had money, he had nothing to fear.
