Naruto: They are all reborn

Chapter 37 The Ending Found
With the ninja's walking speed, it only takes two days to travel from Konoha Village to the capital of the Land of Fire.

Daimyofu is a palace complex located in the center of the capital. It is both the residence of the Daimyo of the Fire Country and the administrative center of the Fire Country.

Because of the donation, Toki developed a lot of favorable impression towards this daimyo whom he had never met before. No matter what his reason was, as long as Dean Nono could really get the supplies, it would be fine.

After entering the capital, Namikaze Minato found an excuse to leave, and Toki and Kakashi accompanied Nono to the Daimyo's mansion. After handling the handover of supplies, the three of them left the Daimyo's mansion.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought something out of a novel would happen. For example, someone in a high position would be arrogant and domineering, making things difficult for those who need help from him, and forcing them to bribe him."

Shi Xu looked at him in surprise: "When did you start reading novels?"

"To kill time while performing some boring D-class missions."

Nono suddenly interrupted the topic: "Actually, I've encountered many of the plots in the novels that Kakashi mentioned."

Hearing this, Kakashi's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

"Of course, bribery is an effective way to build relationships and save a lot of trouble. Sometimes it's unsuccessful because the bribe isn't big enough."

"The Dean has so much experience," Kakashi sighed. "The second before I met the Minister, I was still thinking about what I would do if I encountered such a thing."

Nono covered her mouth and chuckled: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing at all."

"why?"

It was rare to catch him not understanding something, so Shi Xu immediately said, "Stupid Kakashi, have you forgotten why we are here?"

Kakashi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and replied, "Come to collect donations and supplies."

“What kind of people need to receive donations?”

"...Poor people." Kakashi suddenly understood why the minister worked so quickly.

"Now you understand," Shi Xu patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Instead of asking us for bribes, it would be more convenient to embezzle donated materials directly."

This is not something difficult to understand, it's just that Kakashi has too little social experience.

Nono clapped his hands and motioned for them to look over. "Alright, the supplies will be ready tomorrow. From now until departure, you can all move freely."

Shi Xu nodded, then said, "It's a rare trip to the capital, I have to buy some gifts to bring back. Kakashi, do you have any plans?"

"I'm going to buy some novels too. The ones sold in the village are almost all sold out."

"Speaking of which...what do you think is the most appropriate gift to buy for a girl?"

Kakashi stood still in shock, raised his finger and pointed at his nose: "You ask me?"

"...I'm being abrupt," Shi Xu's mouth twitched, and then he said, "Go buy some books first, then accompany me to the tavern to buy a gift for the teacher, and then we can go shopping slowly."

"Remember to use the Transfiguration Technique to disguise yourself when buying alcohol."

"I know, I know."

When the two arrived at the bookstore, they saw Minato Namikaze standing at the door, his arms folded, wondering what he was thinking. Kakashi walked up to him and shouted, "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

"I came to buy books, but I couldn't find the one I wanted. I asked the clerk to look for it."

Kakashi looked up at the store name to confirm that he was in the right place. "Isn't this the largest bookstore in the Land of Fire?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "I want to buy the work of Jiraiya-sensei. He wrote to me a week ago, saying that he had finally found a suitable ending. He asked me to support it and also wanted to hear my opinion."

"I see." Kakashi nodded and walked straight to the novel area.

Shi Oya bit her lower lip, leaned against the bookshelf, and tilted her head slightly to look at Minato Namikaze: "Minato Jonin, may I ask... do you and Master Jiraiya have a communication channel?"

Namikaze Minato turned his eyes away from Kakashi's back and turned to look at him: "Well, is there something wrong?"

"I'd like to write a letter to Master Jiraiya. If it's not too much trouble, could you please help me?"

Minato Namikaze frowned, not because delivering the letter was troublesome, but because in his impression, Tokichi and Jiraiya didn't seem to have much personal relationship.

Is this... official business? Or is it a request from Lady Tsunade?
Seeing the change in Namikaze Minato's expression, Tokisou knew that he had misunderstood: "It's not a big deal, but the three children that Master Jiraiya left in the Land of Rain to take care of are my friends, and I want to write a letter to them."

"I see. Jiraiya-sensei and I communicate through spiritualism."

"Spirituality?" Shi Xu was a little surprised. Isn't that used for shaking hands?
"I have signed a summoning contract with Master Jiraiya at Myoboku Mountain, and I'm asking the toads of Myoboku Mountain to help deliver the letter."

"What is Myobokuyama?"

"Normally, ninjas would sign a summoning contract with a ninja beast, allowing them to summon it for help when encountering an enemy. Myoboku-san is an exception; it's a place name or a force."

Shi Xu nodded: "I understand. Others can only shake one thug, but you can shake a group."

Hearing this, the corner of Minato Namikaze's mouth twitched, and he pretended not to hear him and continued, "Since some time ago, there have been three holy places in the ninja world: the toads of Myoboku Mountain, the slugs of the Wet Bone Forest, and the snakes of the Ryuchi Cave. Tsunade-sama is the contractor of the Wet Bone Forest, and Orochimaru-sama is the contractor of the Ryuchi Cave."

"What a loss." Shi Xu sighed in annoyance.

One time during dinner, Tsunade asked him if he wanted to learn summoning techniques, but Tokio had never seen any powerful summoning beasts at the time and thought that all summoning beasts in the world were the same, so he refused.

If he had known that the summoning beast could be used as a phone, he would have never refused. When he left the village for a mission, he could talk to Tsunade-sensei on the phone every day.

So, what do slugs like to eat? And how can we develop a good relationship with them?
Just then, the salesgirl came out of the bookstore, holding up a white-covered book and yelled, "Excuse me, handsome blond guy, is this the book you want?"

Namikaze Minato flipped through the book briefly, and after seeing the three words "Jiraiya" in the author column, he nodded: "This is it, thank you very much."

"This book has been on the shelves for almost two weeks, but sales are so poor that it's been put away in the warehouse. I didn't expect someone would come all the way to buy it."

Minato Namikaze had an awkward smile on his face. No wonder Teacher Jiraiya would write a special letter.

Shi Xu stepped forward, pointed at the "Tales of Ninja with Strong Perseverance" in his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Shopkeeper, could you please give me one too?"
