Chapter:32

"How is this possible?!"

Kakashi stared at Haruto, his single visible eye filled with disbelief.

As the student of Minato Namikaze, he naturally understood just how difficult it was to master Space-Time Ninjutsu. Yet, the man before him had summoned three golden eggs with just a wave of his hand—an unthinkable feat even for the Fourth Hokage.

"His mastery over Space-Time Ninjutsu... it far surpasses Sensei's!"

Kakashi quickly ran a mental comparison, and the results shocked him to the core.

"Hah, pretty shocking, isn't it?"

Asuma smirked, crossing his arms.

Kakashi slowly closed his book, his usual laid-back demeanor shifting to a more serious one.

"Yeah… I seriously underestimated this guy," he admitted.

"When I first saw him yesterday, I felt the same way," Asuma sighed.

"This boss's understanding of Space-Time Ninjutsu has reached a level that's outright terrifying."

"And trust me, Kakashi, this shop? It has far more mysterious things than just that…"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

At that moment, he pocketed his copy of Icha Icha Paradise, his attention now fully locked onto the scene unfolding before him.

Naruto took the golden hammer in his hands, his entire body trembling with excitement and nervousness.

He muttered something incomprehensible under his breath.

"Naruto, hurry up already!" Ino rolled her eyes, growing impatient.

"Hold on!" Naruto protested. "What if I get nothing good?! This thing cost me two thousand ryo!"

"You idiot! It's random!" Ino huffed. "Nobody knows what's inside until you smash it open!"

"But… what if it's just a bunch of garbage?!" Naruto cried out, clutching his frog wallet in despair.

This wasn't just some pocket change—it was money he had saved up by living frugally for months!

Haruto chuckled.

"Relax, kid," he said. "From what I've seen so far, first-time smashers tend to have pretty good luck."

"Really?!" Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, that's true," Ino muttered.

Encouraged, Naruto took a deep breath, gripped the hammer tightly, and—

"HAAAAH!"

BANG!

The golden egg shattered into pieces, revealing three glowing golden orbs.

Haruto's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh… well now, this is unexpected."

He hadn't anticipated such a powerful item appearing so soon.

Nestled within the three golden orbs were:

Blue Essence ×150

The Mirror of Erised (Miniature Version)

Original Ninjutsu: Rasengan

Haruto stared at the last item in disbelief.

"This is insane… Naruto actually pulled out the Rasengan before even meeting Jiraiya?!"

In the original timeline, Jiraiya had personally taught Naruto the Rasengan after he became a Genin. Yet, here it was, emerging from a golden egg.

"This… could seriously alter the story."

A sly grin crept onto Haruto's face.

"I wonder what Jiraiya's face will look like when he sees Naruto already using Rasengan?"

"Hey, boss! What did I get?"

Naruto leaned in anxiously, afraid that he had wasted his savings.

Haruto smiled.

"Relax, you actually got some really good stuff."

He understood better than anyone just how much this money meant to Naruto.

Unlike others, Naruto grew up alone, barely scraping by with the stipend the village gave him.

There were even times when he went hungry, forced to fish in the river just to eat.

If Naruto knew he had just unlocked one of the strongest A-rank jutsu in history for 2,000 ryo, he'd probably cry tears of joy.

Without further ado, Haruto began explaining the items.

"First, we have Blue Essence—I already explained its use, so I won't repeat myself."

Naruto quickly grabbed the essence and shoved it into his ninja pouch.

"But this next one… now this is something special."

Haruto smirked.

"What, what?! What is it?!"

Naruto jumped up in excitement, eyes practically glowing in anticipation.

Haruto snapped his fingers.

"BOOM!"

A massive gold-framed mirror materialized in the shop, standing over two meters tall.

"What the heck?!" Naruto blurted out.

Due to the shop's limited space, the mirror's sheer size made the entire store feel uncomfortably cramped.

Chōji groaned.

"Ugh, now there's no room to move!"

Ino grumbled, "Boss, your store is way too small!"

She was completely blocked by the massive mirror and couldn't even see its front.

Haruto rubbed his chin.

"Yeah, my shop is a little cramped, huh?"

But then, he grinned.

"Don't worry… I can fix that."

With another snap of his fingers—

"BOOM!"

A strange spatial fluctuation rippled outward.

Suddenly, the shop's walls began to twist and expand, stretching outward in all directions.

Within seconds, the shop's interior had doubled in size.

The room now felt spacious and airy.

"WHAT?!"

Kakashi and Asuma gasped in unison.

Haruto had just expanded the physical dimensions of the shop—something that shouldn't be possible without extensive Space-Time Ninjutsu expertise.

"This… this is impossible."

Even for a master of space-time techniques, altering an entire building's structure in real-time was something unheard of.

Asuma gulped.

"Kakashi… did you see that?"

Kakashi narrowed his eye.

"Yeah.
