6 The elder toad sage!!

He is brown in colour, with a white belly, his color is alot more vibrant then when older. He wears a beaded necklace with an orb on it that has the toad's village symbol for "oil" (油, abura) on it. He is Gamamaru the future toad sage, the manipulator of kaguyas sons.

'Now that I think of it , wasn't that tree sucking up the lifeforce of the planet. I'll ask the shop later on.'

"Welcome to my shop! The emporium of desires where you can get anything you desire! Currently we are out of legendary items but we will hopefully get stock soon."

I was inturrupted by *As a reward for conducting good buisness and good progress, we have currently received ;the shipment of legendary items.*The shop announced ,startling the toad as he didnt sense anyone else here.*

"You are quite intriguing I never seen such a shop like this before. Also I can feel power coming from the items. Nevermind the fact I cant tell where the voice came from, it's like it came from everywhere; it doesnt give off an energy signature that all living lifeforms do." He said indirectly asking a question.

"Yes you see my shop is scientent and can think for its self, as for the items. We got anything you could possibly want or desire. Even immortality of you wanted that is. I could give you a suggestion on what you should buy, you dont have to choose it and can choose something else if you wish."

I explained and he looked intrigued and could tell I wasn't lying so he asked.

"Immortality hah to think anyone would want that. Living forever would be more like hell then anything and there is more to existence then just our bodies. Anyways what exactly would you suggest?" He said wisely

"Oh I would suggest an item or ability that makes your visions a bit clearer then before. Although it wont be 100% because if gods are involved you wont be able to see it perfectly. It should help you and your clan of toads achieve your goals ,while knowing basically all threats that could come your way. This excludes if gods are involved of course." The small toad humms in thought and says "This is indeed a good choice for an item. What perhaps will be the payment?"

"Well I recently received knowledge on senjutsu but I cant risk turning to stone. So i just need you to teach me the ways of a sage. We wont be going to your place, in here I have a place; that I believe has better natural energy then elsewhere." The road hummed in thought and said "Very well I don't seem to lose out in this deal. What is your name and I would like to ask where you obtained this knowledge."

"I learned it from a sage, I can't say more as this would mess with the order of things. I'm sorry I cant answer you."

He nods and says "I understand we wouldnt want anything causing damage to the world. I am very intrigued to see this place you speak of."

*To begin the transaction ,you need to place your hand on the counter.Right inside the seal array, it will ensure the payment will be done. This is just a precaution against theft and there is nothing to worry about. As long as you dont steal that is.* He did as told as he wasn't going to steal anything so he wasn't afraid. Immediately the knowledge was placed in his mind and he smiled. He then summoned a younger toad and said "Bring me my stick I have a new student to teach." The small green frog looked at me for a moment, then nodded and poofed away. After a few moments he came back with a stick and couldn't help but ask.

"What exactly is your new student, I've never seen a being like him before. Normally I would say hes a fox from the fox clan but hes clearly to round to b-" He gets hit on the head with the stick. "You need to learn how to respectfully say things! For your information we currently made a very good deal, that will help our clan greatly!!! So give respect to him ,just as you would to me..... I must apologize for my students lack of better words. What he meant to say is what is the name of your kind." Gamamaru said.

I calmed down as this was basically calling me fat and at least he didnt call me cute.

"Its no problem, normally I would be all pink without a snout and no fur with black eyes. However, recently I made a deal and received chakra as a compensation. It had a diffrent effect then expected but I have made sure this wouldnt happen again. He was a very respectful being, he was from a far away place but at the same time not far at all. I cant say more about this. As for what my kind are called, they are called kirby. Although I dont have the same abilities as them, my potential is alot higher."

Gamamaru had an idea of what I was talking about, as hes used to seeing the future. He also thought it wasn't as far fetched of an idea. He spoke up concerned.

"If its what I think then I'm surprised the energy didnt corrupt you ,in fact you feel as pure as ever. Also do be careful meddling with that as even with my power, messing with certain things is dangerous." He said cryptically so only me and him know what he means.

"I know what you mean there is actually very little I can do in this world ,as its tied to a very powerful beings fate. So worry not, also universal law protects it due to this. I dont seek nonexistence." He nodded while the little green frog turned light green, thinking what we could possibly be talking about.

"Very well. I trust you will do the right thing, anyways where is this place you speak off?"

He said greatly intrigued. We then all get teleported to the Zen energy floor. When we arrive the small frog and even Gamamaru were shocked.

"Th-this I feel so many unknown energies, not just that but the life force in the area!!! Is inconceivable, impossible the senchakra in the area is so rich, it feels like it could feed at least 10 elemental nations and not be effected. Amazing if one was to first train and achieved their senchakra mode here, they would proubably not need to recharge for at least 1 month. Nevermind if your a master at it, then you could stay enhanced indefinitely. Astounding I'm truly jealous, if our clan were to live here; we would be the undisputed kings of the summoning world!!" Gamamaru shouted. During this explanation his young apprentice Fukasaku was shocked further. As if what he said was true this would be the treasure trove of any summoning clan!!!

"Before you ask noone but me is normally allowed here, this is just for practice. Also even with your space jutsu used for summoning ,the distances you would need to travel to reach where I'm going; would be universes apart. You would be forever severed from your world and fate needs you to be there." After I said this their dreams and Hope's were shattered, nonetheless Gamamaru nodded. "I see. I do feel it's as you say, besides our people would prefer the climate and environment of our place more. Besides there isnt any worms or grubs here." This part shut up Fukasaku before he said anything. As even if they had food in the shop ,how long would it last. Also how long could they afford the price.'He doesn't know the habitat can change to my liking. This is wonderful.'

"Yes shall we get to training as this might take a while." He nods and turns to Fukasaku "Tell the clan I'll be gone for a while, untill I get back your in charge. If they complain say this will benefit the clan greatly." The small green fukasaku nods and says"Yes master." He then poofs away.

"We will start over at that pond, the water seems rich enough to have the same effect as our toad oil."

[Sage training time skip.]

With the knowledge from my gift about sage chakra control I learned really fast. With this increase in speed we actually managed to skip the apprentice and intermediate level of mastery quite fast. Currently I just finished mastering senchakra, however there was a secret that only masters can learn. Elementalization this was an advanced technique, that only sage masters can learn. In fact the sage of six paths didnt even get to this stage yet!!! That's because even with an affinity with the element, it was new territory and you must learn it yourself. Not just that but it's still sort of just a theory ,the only reason he believes in it ;is because he managed to turn just his fingertips into rock. So it was a work in progress. He did say that even though he made progress, that didnt mean he would even get to apprentice stage soon. As you need to fully understand the element to meld with it. He said even with all his experience and knowledge ,he could sense that he just touched the tip of the iceberg.

"Well that's all I can teach you, I hope you can find the secrets; of how to use elementalization. You are now a master of senjutsu normally I would say at the level of me. If we did your training on our mountain, that would be the case but here is a diffrent story. So I hereby decree that your level, is not just a mere master but a grandmaster of senjutsu. Although I can beat you in every fight, that's just because your body is just not strong enough. When it is you will be able to fully integrate with senchakra and use it to its fullest." He said in his most official voice he can muster.

"Plus you have to consider ,I did get a powerup from being here. Goodbye young one." He said as he left. While I thought sadly 'Am I only going to be respected by freaks of nature ,because I'm sort of one myself.'

*Ding Special announcement the creator wants to put you through a tribulation. If you pass you will unlock your second world, during this tribulation you will not be allowed to use henge jutsu. Get ready for your newest customers.*

"Why do I feel like this is going to involve, my manly pride ;possibly taking a hit I might never recover from."

*Customer arriving soon. Naruto world items higher then common ,are locked for special event. Transporting shop to lower world prepare for transport. This tribulation will be hard ,as they have nothing you could want or need.*

"VWORP VWORP VWORP"

Instead of a knock on the door like normal the door was busted open. In came a group of people, but when I seen who they were and they saw what I was ;we were both shocked still.

"D-does anyone remember taking hallucinogens or any other drugs." Asked a gruff scraggly middle aged man, that looked like he was from some sort of apocalyptic world. A teenaged boy spoke next.

"I-is that what I think it is a-a kirby?" He said unsure ,as hes never seen kirby take on this form before.

"Welcome to my magical emporium of desires, just so you know we dont use money here ,but I get to choose any payment I want. Excluding souls that is."

"U-unless someone drugged us, I am sure we havent taken anything. Also to be this realistic is just unbelievable impossible." Said an Asian man.

"Nope I'm not dealing with this shit, first it's the walking dead and now this. I know I was crazy before but this is a whole new level" Morgan Jones said and was about to walk out but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

*Dont be rude at least listen ,as the things sold in this shop could save your lifes. Also take care of that negan once and for all.* This shut them all up, as if this is real they could finnally win the war. Who knows maybe this kirby, will have the cure to the zombie virus.

"Okay now that you are all calmed down and listening, I can recommend for you to buy. Or you can choose something else, when I recommend something you still dont have to buy it. As you can still buy something else. As for the payment ,like I said before I can choose what I want in exchange. Also I dont currently have the cure to the zombie virus. Oh and each person can only buy one item/package."

"What is stopping us from stealing from your shop?" Rick asks but his son speaks. "Well kirby is known for eating people and the more the powerful the being he ate, the more powerful he becomes. I'm assuming he ate something, most likey something that allows him ;to kill us all with ease." Carl explains but rick doesnt really beleive it, as thats just a game and this is real life.

"I beg of you to not try, as my shop is very unforgiving and will reap the souls of people; that try to steal from it." I said while they got more skeptical.

*Defensive protocol activated.*

This time instead of going overboard ,they were all pushed to the ground by gravity.

"Arghh okay we beleive you...coughh." Rick Grimms said as they then stood up. Now understanding the potential, of the statement being true.

"I'm not a god or the god, so let's skip the endless questions of what I know about your world. I'll be nice enough to give you a theory either a god or nature its self ,has rebelled or is punishing human kind. Wait a second." I then tried to sense them with my sage mode, although it's always active ;I have to at least Pay attention on what I want to do. I sensed lingering senchakra in their bodies. 'I guess in my world it turns you to stone, but in this one you come back to life as a zombie.'

"Hmm interesting definitely nature or it could be a god of nature. I dont know but I sure as hell, not stepping foot on that planet. I also wont house you, although I own the shop. I dont fully control it. It was a gift of sorts so... there is nothing I can do about it. However you can buy an item to help your lives."

They were shocked by this Information ,although they dont trust it 100%. It was the only somewhat concrete proof ,they had gotten. So Rick then spoke up.

"Well I guess we dont have anything to lose. It's not like we have to buy anything here. What do you propose we buy."

"For you I recommend this scroll, when you open it; there will be 5 years worth of food that is specially made for your baby. If anyone else eats it, it will dissolve into nothingness. Dont ask me how it works as I dont know, the shop is not something you can explain with logic. For carl I recommend this cybernetic eye, apparently it comes from your world and was created by the elite globalists. They are probably in hidden bunkers ,as I'm sure they knew this would happen to the world ;before others knew. This provides enhanced sight, night vision,heatvision but at the cost of a headache. Thats Only if you use the zoom in and trajectory option too much. As that's its most energy consuming feature. Next for morgan I've got a staff for you, it's got basic enchantments on it. One of such will knock out anyone you physically hit with it, this doesnt work on zombies though; as their nature energy will prevent it. Next for Maggie I recommend the same package as Rick. Now that's not all, I will also sell you a survivor's package. Get my pun?" I look around and they look at me with a serious glaring look. " No? Tough crowd. This is a package filled with nanobots, they are designed for a one time use. They will first do recon for you, then you can choose who to kill off. When you do, they will then enter stage two and fly into their food when they eat. Then they will stop the blood flow to their hearts. It also comes with a monitor tablet, that doesnt need to be recharged ;as it runs off the earths electromagnetic energy. Again this was from the rich peoples secret project."

They looked at me intrigued and then Rick said.

"What do you want in exchange?"

"Dont judge me but I'm sort of a fan of yours, not enough to hail your every desire ;but enough to take a cheap payment. So I want you to say your famous line, whenever your worried about Carl; you yell his name in your accent. I'll call this an equal exchange, as you have nothing else I could want. This is the best thing I can get, that I feel is worth something. You might think this is kind of an insult, as this is your lives at stake. So as a sorry gift, I'll allow you to all take a nice hot shower. Also give you a scroll with a months of food, this is all because I might make a deal with you. As the shop commands it."

They all look at me incredulously, then laugh at Rick's misfortune. He grumbles and finnally says "Fine I'll say it ,but you guys must never speak of this!!" They start laughing again but nodded in agreement. "Coarl!!!" Rick yelled.

While I was utterly delighted, although I wasn't a big fan of the show; I still liked it for the action parts. I perfered Znation instead but it doesn't matter ,I was entertained.

*Your items are on the counter for easier storage, I combined them all in a small scroll; so when you get to a safe location you can open it. Commencing teleportation sequence*

We all teleported to my house, they were directly teleported into the shower stalls. While I was in the living room, next to the dining room watching TV. When they were Finnished they were teleported to the shop, as was I.

Carl spoke first. "So what did you eat to look like that? Are you like the original kirby or what? Do you travel to other worlds, if you were meant to be fiction does that mean we are also?" He shot question after question. While Rick was just rubbing his temples.

"I dont have the powers of the original kirby. I was once human but I guess everyone here is a form of entertainment to someone. So we got that in common. Yes I do, that's how I gain powers ; since I get to choose what payment I want. I can easily choose something like magical energy, if I went to Harry Potters world. No I wont bring any of you with me, I dont think the shop would allow it unless the price ;was to become my slave. Also judging by its punishments, I'm guessing it would make me treat you; how I would if I were to define what a slave is."

They shivered at the end ,as they thought of how bad and demeaning that would be. They really were debating, as they were comparing working yourself to death; to their apocalyptic world.

"That's cool I guess, by any chance is your definition good or unbarable." Carl asked as he felt he had to at least try. They all listened intently.

"Sorry when i first learned about them it was in history class. Those plantation owners worked them to death." They all looked sollum as they got their answer.

"W-well can you do anything cool yet?" Carl asked as he got his child like wonder back.

"Hmm I guess. I can walk on walls and ceilings, also on water. I can punch a stalagmites to dust and eat like a kirby. Breath out fire, compressed wind, manipulate earth and lighting also water. Basic stuff nothing earth shattering yet also I can make myself look like other people. I'm currently banned, from using it in front of you guys though. I guess that person thought you guys would ridicule me or something. I hate being called cute and am quite sensitive about my current form." They were surprised and then chuckled and Rick said. "Well the first thing anyone from our world will say, when seeing you is not cute. Because they will think they finnally went crazy. Or they will think they are on drugs, take your pick. Maybe all the surviving with zombies ,made us too tense to care about such things. I dunno. Hell I still believe this might be an elaborate dream. Induced by some sort of drug and I was kidnapped or something."

The rest of them nodded as who cares about such things anymore.

"Still shouldn't you freak out more ,by my appearance?"

"To be honest when we first saw you, maybe it's our instincts but we felt you weren't threatening us. This is what allowed us to live so long so we subconsciously trust it. To be fair we are still wary of you, but that's probably just from the walkers giving us all paranoia." He elaborates while everyone nods.

Carl spoke "In some games kirby is said to be able to eat planets. So it's quite unfortunate that you dont have his powers. Then again noone would be your match then." Rick and the others shivered at the idea and sort of looked at Carl, like he was crazy for mentioning it.

They said nothing of it, when they were done saying their goodbyes and thanks;they left the shop.

*Ding Message from creator "Well that didn't go as planned, since it's my mistake I won't be evil about it. Just so you know, you will be tested again in the future. For now.

"VWORP VWORP VWORP"

Knock Knock.

When the door opens out walks a happy go lucky white boy, and two teenaged kids with blue colored clothes that looked tribal. I was surprised as the boys identity as he was the avatar.
