Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 57: Pre-departure Stocking and the Store Manager's Arrangements

Illusionary Dojo, afternoon.

At that moment, Roy was counting money, his face showing the smirk of a ruthless businessman, his smile uncontrollable.

Business has been booming these past few days. Ever since Tsunade started the era of massive infrastructure construction, Konoha ninjas have been frantically coming here to grind dungeons and improve their strength in order to earn more money.

This is also a kind of side effect. The original intention was to make more money, so you need to improve your skills quickly. The store manager is an excellent choice.

As a result, the business got better and better, like a snowball effect.

Just as Roy was still immersed in his dream of getting rich, the door was suddenly pushed open and the entire Class 7 walked in.

Naruto walked in front, with Sasuke and Sakura following behind.

Kakashi walked in last, unhurriedly, holding a copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" that he hadn't finished reading yet.

"Store Manager."

Naruto placed the communicator directly on the counter and immediately asked about something that had happened before.

Why did I suddenly receive that notification?

Naruto stared at Roy with a suspicious look on his face.

Although he's still not that old, he's not stupid; there must be something fishy going on here.

"The mission to the Land of Waves isn't just a C-rank, is it?"

"If it were a regular C-rank mission, would you have specifically reminded me?"

Roy put down the money bag in his hand, looked at the three ambitious teenagers, and smiled slightly.

"Wow, you're so smart now? It's a bit unusual. But dealing with smart people is definitely easier."

Roy took four bottles of chilled soda from the refrigerator and distributed one to each person.

"Don't be shy, please sit down. We'll probably be here for a while, so there's no need for everyone to stand."

Roy activated the holographic projection, and a map of the Land of Waves appeared, with red danger zones marked on it.

"Grade C is just a facade."

Roy took a sip of his soda.

"In reality, this mission might be a high-level situation involving the Daimyo, the Yakuza, and the rogue ninja of Kirigakure, meaning it's a rather complex situation."

"The client, Tazner, withheld information."

"He did intend to build a bridge, but that also threatened the interests of a wealthy merchant named Gato. Predictably, Gato hired ninjas to kill him."

"The difficulty level is at least A-level, which is understandable, since it involves their interests, and there's no reason for them to let you proceed peacefully."

Upon hearing "A-rank," Sasuke's eyes lit up. He desperately wanted to deal with truly powerful individuals.

The most effective way to learn how to fight is through actual combat.

Sakura was a little nervous, but since she was a member of Team 7, she still had to act together.

Kakashi looked helpless.

"I knew it... the task that old man issued was definitely not simple."

"Are the enemies Zabuza and his group?" Naruto asked.

Roy swiped the screen, and then the information of the two people appeared.

On the left is a man with a bare upper body, bandages wrapped around his face, and a decapitation sword on his back.

Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, was one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and was skilled in silent killing techniques.

On the right is a boy wearing a mask and a kimono, who looks quite handsome.

Haku, Zabuza's follower, is a user of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

"These two are your opponents this time."

Roy continued.

"Zabuza may be an elite Jonin, but he's past his prime. While his swordsmanship and water release techniques are impressive, he probably won't pose much of a threat to the Sharingan and Kagura's Mind's Eye."

"However, we still can't be careless. After all, your strength is far inferior to theirs. If a battle breaks out, be extra careful during the process."

"With your Kakashi-sensei here, our chances of winning aren't small, but more importantly, this is what we need to know."

Roy looked at Bai, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Ice Release, a fusion of water and wind nature transformations, is a rare bloodline limit."

"If we can obtain his bloodline factor, I have a way to raise your strength to the next level."

Bloodline factors—this was something that both Sasuke and Naruto found very appealing.

Although their current strength is not bad, there is still a big gap between them and the top experts.

No opportunity to become stronger should be missed.

"That knife..."

Sasuke stared at the Executioner's Blade on Zabuza's back, his eyes burning with desire.

"I want one too."

Roy responded with a smile.

"If you want it, just steal it."

"However, you will need some assistance to deal with the Mist Village's Mist Concealment Technique."

Roy took several black goggles and a few red signal flares off the shelf.

"These are thermal imaging goggles that can penetrate thick fog and allow you to see the enemy's body temperature."

"There are also chakra signal flares. Once detonated, they can instantly disrupt the flow of chakra in the surrounding area and break the Hidden Mist Technique."

"Sincerely yours, fifty thousand taels."

Naruto gritted his teeth. He had just received the advance payment for the mission, and he had to hand it over before he could even enjoy it. But he still took out his wallet.

"I bought it."

This amount of money is nothing compared to becoming stronger.

"And Sakura too."

Sakura was still a little flustered when the shop manager called her.

"I...I have no money..."

"It's free."

Roy took out a small red vial.

"This is a basic, temporary version of the Super Strength Potion."

"This thing lets you experience five minutes of violent aesthetics, and increases your strength tenfold."

"Being able to save your life in a critical moment is like a bonus."

Sakura happily accepted the medicine.

"Thank you, store manager!"

Kakashi watched as his students went on a buying spree at the store, then touched his own empty wallet and felt a pang of envy.

"Um... Manager."

Kakashi came closer, looking ingratiating.

"Could you give me a discount? I'd also like to buy a few limited edition copies of 'Make-Out Paradise'..."

No credit available.

Roy smiled and declined.

"However... if you can bring Zabuza's Executioner's Blade back to me."

"I can consider sending you a copy."

"real?"

Kakashi's eyes widened.

"It's a deal!"

For a limited edition, he'd be willing to do anything, not just rip off the guillotine, but even strip Zabuza of his bandages.

The gates of Konoha, a group of five.

Class 7 plus the commissioner, Dazna.

Dazner wore glasses, carried a large bag, and looked worried.

He looked at the group of genin and felt that their strength was not very good. Although there was a jonin leading the group, he was holding an unreliable book in his hand.

This setup doesn't look like that of a proper ninja at all.

"that……"

Dazner swallowed hard.

"Are you really going there to build a bridge?"

"Why does it feel like they're going to war?"

Especially that blond-haired kid, the murderous aura emanating from him was even stronger than that of any wandering samurai he had ever seen.

Naruto adjusted his heat-sensing goggles and replied with a smile:

"Build a bridge?"

"No, uncle."

Naruto patted the three-pronged kunai at his waist.

"We're going hunting."

The Land of Waves, the Hidden Mist Demon, the Ice Release Boy, and Gato, the black marketeer who controls the economic lifeline of the Land of Waves.

Just wait, the monsters of Konoha are coming.
