216 - Magic Shop

Arriving in a non-ninja town is a completely different experience than arriving in a ninja village.

Although the anime makes it seem like ninjas are extremely common, ninjas are the elite of the elite.

Konoha is an example of this, a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, where fans speculate that it probably has around 400,000 people, only has around 20 to 40 thousand ninjas.

Considering that Konoha is like the center of ninja talent, if it was a normal city like Kazumachi where Alex was now, instead of only 5 to 10% of the population being ninja like Konoha, having 2% of the population born with chakra talent is already very good.

This means that in a city like Kazumachi, with a population of around 50,000, security would be provided mostly by Genin, which would be good enough to protect ordinary people, but any Ninja would be enough to cause chaos in the city.

Entering the city with his Uzumaki companion, Alex didn't hide Bee this time and entered the city in the yellow GTR.

Everywhere they went, curious townspeople stared in shock, trying to figure out what it was.

Even though they saw the wheels and assumed it was a carriage, the noise the engine made made many people think there was a monster trapped inside the carriage and driving it.

Alex even asked Bee to tone down the roar of the engine a bit, not to scare people, but just to keep it at a level that would pique their curiosity.

This was Alex's marketing strategy for the city, because I wanted to sell the phones as quickly as possible, so I needed something that would grab people's attention as much as possible and convince them to come into the store to satisfy their curiosity.

And it worked. Despite their fear, many people slowly followed the car as Alex carefully drove through the bumpy streets of the city.

Since there was no asphalt in this world, Bee simply kept the off-road form while we drove along, trying his best to cushion the impact of the road's imperfections for Alex.

Fortunately, having the Uzumaki ninja made things a lot easier, as the city's protective ninjas let them pass without asking too many questions.

They soon arrived at the store, and Alex began unloading the cell phone cases from Bee's trunk and carrying them into the store under the curious eyes of the hundreds of people around them.

Afraid of the monster in Bee's engine, no one dared to approach, so people just stood and watched curiously, trying to guess what Alex was doing.

"Is he transporting ninja tools for the Uzumaki shop to sell?" One person asked curiously.

"Probably. Look at his hair and his eyes, he has white hair and red eyes, rides a carriage with a monster in it and brings things to the Uzumaki shop, there's no doubt that this is ninja stuff..." A man sighed.

"Too bad, if it was something we could use, but I can't even control chakra..." A woman next to the man also sighed.

Alex's unloading of the cell phones ended quickly.

To the frustration of the curious people around the shop, Alex put up a black curtain over the shop door, preventing people from seeing what was going on inside.

This went on for about 30 minutes.

When people were about to leave and give up on seeing what was going on, Alex pulled back the curtain and let people see inside the store, which now looked completely different.

What was once just a Ninja Stamp store, a simple store without much decoration, now looked like something completely different.

The store had windows that showed bright images all around, shelves in the middle of the store with small, black, luxurious looking things, and even the employees changed their clothes and acted more proudly.

Finally, the last change took place when Alex and the Uzumaki who came with him left the store and changed the sign to "Oasis Uzumaki Store", which glowed!

To make sure that people knew that the store was open, Alex even put up a glowing sign that said [Open].

But despite all this, he realized that people were really curious about this store, but didn't have the courage to go near it when they saw the imposing yellow car in front of the store.

Knowing that Bee had already served his purpose, Alex approached him and asked him to leave town for a while, thanking him for his help, but Bee just honked twice and drove off on his own.

This further proved the people's suspicion that there was a monster in that car.

"Did you see it? The carriage drove away by itself! I knew there was a monster in it!" A little boy said as he began to cry with fear, pointing to the car that drove away.

Wherever the wagon went, people were terrified and got out of the way.

But despite the chaos the car caused among the populace, it only added to the mystery that Alex radiated, making people wonder.

"Who is that person? He came with the Uzumaki driving a carriage with a monster attached to it, he commanded the monster with ease and even changed the appearance of their shop completely..." A woman commented curiously to her husband.

Since the monster was no longer in front of the shop, a man gathered a bit of courage and finally found the courage to enter the shop to see what they were selling.

Even though he was an ordinary person, his curiosity about these things was great. Even if they were only for ninjas, he wanted to know what they were.

The city had no entertainment, so seeing new things was an interesting experience.

The people around waited a while to see how the staff would treat the man, as ninjas were usually arrogant and no one wanted to go into the store to be treated badly.

But the surprising thing was that the man was treated very well the whole time.

At some point, two other very handsome Uzumaki appeared in the large window in the middle of the store and chatted with the man for a few minutes until the man took some money from his wallet and left the store with a big smile on his face.

"Guys, this place is magical!" The man laughed as he showed off the cell phone he had purchased before running home to show it to his family.

Unfortunately, this man did not know that his biggest regret was about to come.

When his wife and daughter used the phone and wanted one, and he returned to buy one, he would discover the size of the line in the store and regret not buying three phones since he was the first customer.

With the man's warning that the store was magical and their curiosity already at its peak, many people finally put aside their fears and went to the Uzumaki store.

Within a few hours, thousands of people knew about this shop that sold equipment that was far more advanced than ninja equipment, but surprisingly, could be used by ordinary people!
