When Li Rong formally invited the representatives of the Five Great Ninja Villages to tour the newly opened shops, the camp briefly fell into an unusual silence.
Then—discussion erupted.
This was not a casual visit.
Every choice they made here would ripple through the future balance of the Ninja World.
Because of Orochimaru's presence, Tsunade was the first to speak.
"Konoha will head to the Dan Building."
Her tone left no room for debate.
Rasa immediately understood the implication and smoothly followed up.
"Then Sunagakure will visit the Artifact Building first."
Even the two allied villages deliberately avoided moving together.
After a moment of consideration, Yagura said, "Hidden Mist will go to the Cultivation Hall."
Kitsuchi laughed dryly. "Then Iwagakure will check the Martial Pavilion."
Before anyone could respond, Yugito stood up abruptly, her expression sharp.
"Kumogakure doesn't have time for your polite games. We're going straight to the Mission Hall."
With that, the five forces split cleanly.
Artifact Building — Sunagakure
The moment Sunagakure's group entered the Artifact Building, quiet gasps rippled through the ranks.
Inside the crystal cabinets, Spirit Bones floated serenely, each radiating a restrained but unmistakable pressure.
Fire-Attribute Right Arm Bone
Sealed Technique: Fire Dragon Bullet
Price: 720,000 sacrificial coins
Water-Attribute Left Arm Bone
Sealed Technique: Water Dragon Bullet
Price: 720,000 sacrificial coins
Sunagakure Ninja subconsciously touched their own arms.
Pakura's eyes moved quickly as she scanned the displays, then she leaned toward Rasa and whispered,
"The five basic-attribute arm bones are all priced around seven hundred thousand. The variance comes from the strength of the sealed Ninjutsu."
Her voice lowered.
"The real issue is—there's no supply limit."
Rasa's expression tightened.
A Sunagakure Anbu suddenly stiffened.
"Lord Rasa… there's a Bloodline-tier torso bone here."
In the blink of an eye, Rasa and Pakura stood before the innermost cabinet.
A crystal-clear torso bone hovered in place, frost curling faintly along its surface.
Ice Release Torso Bone
Skill: Ice Dragon Bullet
Special Trait: Ice Crystal Wings — grants flight while Chakra is supplied
Price: 2.3 million sacrificial coins
Quantity: One
Flight.
Pakura's breath hitched.
Against Rasa, her Scorch Release often failed simply because he could take to the air.
With this bone—
She clenched her fist.
Another Anbu rushed over, barely containing his excitement.
"There's also a skull-type Spirit Bone—it massively amplifies mental force and contains Mental Pierce!"
His voice trembled.
"Without mental defenses, even Kage-level Ninja would suffer severe injury. Below Jōnin, it can cause immediate mental collapse. No attribute proficiency required—only mental strength. Price: 2.8 million. Unique."
Pakura's gaze burned.
Mental amplification meant higher Chakra capacity.
Mental Pierce was outright lethal.
If she acquired this—what claim would Rasa even have to the Kazekage seat?
A subordinate couldn't help blurting out,
"Why don't we exchange Ninjutsu from other villages first and secure these two Spirit Bones?"
Rasa and Pakura exchanged a look.
Temptation surged—but so did caution.
Then—
"Lord Pakura!" another Ninja cried out.
"There's a Magnet Release torso bone!"
The words struck like lightning.
Magnet Release Torso Bone
Requirement: Earth + Wind
Effect: Grants Magnet Release directly upon fusion
Price: 1.6 million sacrificial coins
Quantity: One
Magnet Release—the foundation of Sunagakure's prestige.
Pakura didn't hesitate.
"Follow me."
She turned sharply and led her trusted Ninja straight toward the Mission Hall.
Rasa remained where he stood, eyes dark, watching her retreating figure.
Cultivation Hall — Hidden Mist
Mei Terumī stood motionless before a cultivation manual, eyes fixed.
Forms a permanent internal energy core, maintaining constant Chakra presence, drastically reducing consumption while accelerating recovery…
Her fingers curled slightly.
Yagura moved methodically through the hall before returning to the team.
"Single-attribute methods cost between two and three hundred thousand—difficulty equivalent to A- to ultra-A-rank Ninjutsu."
"Dual-attribute methods start at six hundred thousand. Difficulty: S-rank or higher."
"Bloodline cultivation manuals all exceed 1.2 million. Difficulty marked as SSS."
He paused.
"All manuals explicitly forbid external teaching. Violators are designated enemies of the Shop."
The Hidden Mist Ninja inhaled sharply.
Bloodline cultivation methods.
They surged toward the special cabinets.
Ice Release.
Steel Release.
Each description stated clearly: upon entry, Bloodline Ninjutsu may be used; mastery allows inheritance.
Mei's brows knit.
Her Lava and Boil Releases spanned Water, Fire, and Earth.
Single-attribute would cripple her growth.
Dual-attribute would limit her ceiling.
She turned gracefully to the white horse Spirit Beast behind the counter.
"Excuse me," she asked calmly, "are there any Water–Earth–Fire three-attribute cultivation methods available?"
The White Horse's eyes lit up.
After querying the system, a light screen appeared:
Three-Attribute Cultivation Manuals (Water / Earth / Fire)
Quantity: 37
Price: From 2,000,000 sacrificial coins
Acquisition:
• Random refresh (0.7%)
• Special bounty rewards
• Annual auction
"I recommend special bounties," the White Horse said enthusiastically, "or the annual auction!"
"Auction?" Yagura caught the word instantly.
The Spirit Beast launched into an animated explanation—rings, pills, spirit medicines—each more outrageous than the last.
Yagura listened, then asked quietly,
"If I exchange self-created Ninjutsu, how are they valued?"
The White Horse blinked, genuinely surprised.
"Place the scroll into the evaluation pillar."
Yagura didn't hesitate.
He wrote Coral Palm and Water Mirror Jutsu, then submitted the scroll.
After a brief scan—
"Coral Palm: 30,000. Water Mirror: 110,000. Total: 140,000 sacrificial coins. Exchange?"
Not enough.
Yagura immediately began writing again.
Water Dragon Bullet.
Water Prison.
Earth Wall.
Water Clone.
Every technique already widespread in the Ninja World.
He turned sharply.
"Everyone—transcribe all non-exclusive Ninjutsu immediately."
The Hidden Mist Ninja obeyed without question.
After verification—
231 Ninjutsu
Total value: 3.71 million sacrificial coins
"Exchange," Yagura said without hesitation.
He selected River Art for himself, Biwa Jūzō, and Kisame.
Three azure orbs were presented.
Chakra flowed.
The orbs shattered.
Understanding settled into their minds.
Yagura nodded once.
"Mei—wait for the auction. Don't limit yourself."
Then, to the others:
"Merit will be calculated upon return. Those who qualify will receive cultivation methods. I swear it."
The Hidden Mist Ninja knelt in unison.
Martial Pavilion — Iwagakure
By contrast, Iwagakure hesitated.
Kitsuchi paced back and forth, sweat forming at his temples.
Earth Release techniques without hand seals.
Advanced movement arts.
Bloodline manuals.
All within reach.
Finally, he exhaled heavily.
"This must be reported to the Tsuchikage. No one exchanges anything without his approval."
Mochi sighed inwardly.
"…Then let's earn coins in the Mission Hall first."
Kitsuchi nodded—then glanced back one last time, reluctance plain in his eyes.
Only then did he turn and lead his people away.
