Inside Haruto's Golden Egg Shop.
In a flash, Haruto and Kabuto merely exchanged glances, but countless thoughts flashed through their minds.
Kabuto looked at Haruto with a smile. "Are you the owner of this store? I've heard a magical golden egg shop suddenly appeared in the village, so I came to check it out!"
"How many eggs would you like, sir?" Haruto asked with a professional smile.
"Then give me three!" Kabuto placed six thousand ryō on the counter. "No need for change."
He was already familiar with the golden egg shop's rules—pay first, smash later.
"The boss is generous!" Haruto smiled naturally, treating Kabuto the same as any other customer.
To him, anyone who entered the shop was a customer. It didn't matter who they were—no one could harm him inside this space. Even if Kaguya Ōtsutsuki walked in, she'd have to politely listen to his rules.
He was just a simple egg-selling boss!
Snap!
With a crisp snap of his fingers, three golden eggs materialized instantly.
Kabuto's pupils shrank. "This is... Space-Time Ninjutsu?!"
During his intel-gathering, no one had mentioned the boss using such advanced techniques! There were no hand seals, yet the items were summoned instantly. A clear sign of space manipulation!
Kabuto instantly connected the dots—if anyone could have made Danzo and Root vanish without a trace, it was this shopkeeper.
"Root's disappearance must be related to this boss..." Kabuto concluded.
Haruto inwardly chuckled at the strained smile on Kabuto's face. "How ridiculous."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three eggs shattered, revealing nine golden orbs of light.
Kabuto looked at the items floating within the orbs and grew increasingly uneasy. These weren't just ordinary props—some of them, he'd never even seen in the hidden archives!
Haruto's eyes locked on one particular item, his gaze sharpening.
He hadn't expected Kabuto to draw this item so quickly. Was it fate—or the world's correction mechanism speeding things up?
If events continued on this path, the Fourth Great Ninja War might become far more dangerous than originally planned.
But no matter how dark the storm—if it came before Haruto, it would be crushed.
"Not a bad draw," Haruto said calmly.

Blue Essence: Common loot. No further explanation needed.
Recovery Potion: Instantly restores 30% of physical health, no side effects.
Chakra Potion: Instantly restores 30% of chakra, no side effects.
T-Virus: A product from the Resident Evil world. Originally developed by the Umbrella Corporation, it radically enhances a host's genetic adaptability. However, the survival rate is low—most who receive it mutate into uncontrollable monsters.
World Horn: A single-use item. When activated, your message can be heard by everyone across the ninja world as if you were speaking beside them.
Surgical Scalpel Set: Sterile and sharper than normal tools; ensures zero infection risk in operations.
Orochi Blood: From the King of Fighters world. Contains the cursed bloodline of the Yagami clan. Temporarily boosts strength, speed, and aggression, but weakens defense. However, the user retains their rational mind.
Haruto stared at the glowing orbs in awe. Out of all his customers—Naruto, Sasuke, even Hiruzen—none had ever pulled something as volatile and dangerous as the T-Virus or Orochi Blood.
"Boss?" Kabuto asked. "What are these things?"
Haruto explained each item's function calmly, watching Kabuto's eyes light up with excitement—especially at the T-Virus.
"A virus that rewrites genes?" Kabuto echoed. "Incredible!"
As Orochimaru's loyal experimenter, this kind of scientific tool was Kabuto's dream. He barely reacted to the Orochi Blood despite its immense power.
"Yes," Haruto said casually. "But very few can survive the T-Virus. I suggest you think carefully before using it."
Kabuto met Haruto's gaze—and immediately felt exposed, as though all his secrets had been laid bare.
Under that oppressive pressure, Kabuto forgot why he came. He hastily gathered his items, mumbled a goodbye, and fled the shop.
Haruto watched him leave and sneered.
"I thought about killing you," Haruto murmured, "but where's the fun in that?"
"Grow stronger, Kabuto. Don't disappoint me."
Elsewhere, Kabuto finally reached his secret hideout and collapsed in his chair. His hands trembled.
"What a terrifying man…"
Though Haruto hadn't made a single aggressive move, Kabuto felt sure: if the boss had wanted to kill him, he would've had no way to resist.
"Danzo must've been killed by him..."
He turned to the vial of glowing green liquid—the T-Virus.
"To think such a thing exists in that shop… It's unimaginable."
He immediately began drafting a report for Orochimaru. But after some hesitation, he omitted several crucial facts from the file.
The next morning, just as Haruto opened the shop, he found several unexpected visitors already waiting outside.
