Chapter 11: The first successful transaction

Because of the little guy's laughter, both family members stopped fooling around, but bright smiles were on their faces. To see that the child is happy is a greater joy for them than to make a profit.

- Ahem... ahem...

Sora had to resort to coughing for these two people to finally serve him. Time was ticking, and the longer he was in the building, the more suspicion he would attract.

- Oh, right! So, give me your toys.

The man took all the seals and kunai from the guy with a serious face. No matter how cheerful he was and no matter what he said, these were murder weapons. Quite dangerous tools, which somehow miraculously fell into the hands of the boy. It's good that he immediately decided to sell them, and not use them to harm anyone. Although it was impossible to assume from the clothes that he had any problems at all.

At first he put the seals aside, taking up the kunai, which immediately caught Tom's eye. They looked exactly the same as the others, but there was still something in them.

Twirling one of them in his hand, the man frowned. For full confidence in his assumptions, he even picked up the second one. He went through the same procedure of looking.

- Akiko, bring some old kunai from the warehouse, I want to check something... The man rubbed his temples, examining the weapon in his hands.

The girl shrugged her shoulders and went somewhere inside the shop, leaving the guy alone with the man.

- Little one, where did such an acquisition come from? - the man asked a question. - You don't seem to know the properties of this kunai. If I had known, I would never have brought him here.

- Uncle...

- Toru Nakigawa, or simply, Uncle Toru.

- Uncle Toru, that's how you think I can have such a weapon. I am ignorant of this. I just need to get more money for living.

- Everything is clear with you. Found it, right? Toru grinned.

- I found it, on the way to the village I came across someone's old hiding place. This treasure was in him...

Sora accidentally blabbed, but it looks like the man didn't give a damn about it. What mattered was what he saw in front of him now.

- Father, why do you need these old things? Did you really decide to check these kunai on them? - the girl was surprised, laying out a couple of battered old kunai on the counter.

- You'll see for yourself now. And you're a guy, too..." an anticipatory smile crept onto the man's face.

He took an old kunai from the warehouse in his left hand, and a brand-new one from Sora in his right. And with one sharp movement of his right hand, he cut the blade of the old kunai.

- Have you seen it now? What you found is a very rare thing. Even we rarely manage to get such at least in a single copy with good quality. And this one seems to have been created only recently.

I explained everything to a couple of young Torus, he checked both the first and second kunai with interest. Because of which, soon the fragments of blunt kunai were scattered around the store.

- If I'm not mistaken, they absorb a very small part of the chakra, making the blade even sharper. I wouldn't call them chakra-conducting kunai, but there is always an additional ace in the battle.

But now Sora was a little surprised, if what the store owner said was true, then he would have to look at the system's hint in a new way. What kind of power lies in explosive seals? So things are better not for a little, but for even a lot.

- Then it is possible that the seals also have a higher efficiency.

Sora suggested so that it would not be thought that he was trying to fill the price of seals. But the Nakigawa have already seen through the boy, yet he is now like an open book in front of them. Even the experience from a previous life did not help.

- I understand you, kid, but I'm not going to check them, although I should. But it's better not to do it here, and you don't have much time. Yes, it's immediately obvious, you're constantly looking at the door in anticipation of something. You may even be being followed, but we don't really care about that at all.

Sora even got a little depressed from this. He did his every move so diligently, but nothing worked.

"Ha-ha-ha, look at him, Aki! He's offended now, ha-ha-ha... - loud laughter undressed in the walls of the store.

- Boy, I'm sorry, but you can safely pull off your tricks with people like you, but we are Shinobi. And your every move is in the palm of our hand.

- Yes, I've already figured that out... - the boy breathed out, looking up at the funny family. - So, what price will you set for everything?

- Can't wait to get your hands on the money? You look, be careful. If civilians can't steal from you in any way, then Shinobi pickpockets will do everything so that you won't even have time to blink an eye.

The girl was like a mother lecturing the boy, and he listened to her with pleasure. Still, sometimes it's nice to listen to such honest and kind instructions. In his previous life, he lost his mother early, and he had no other relatives, which is why such moments are more valuable than any wealth.

- Ten seals, which are most likely more powerful than ours. I'll give you 20,000 rubles for each one, I'm sorry I can't do more. I already take on too many expenses, if they justify themselves, then the price will be higher. But kunai, for each 30000r you get immediately. - the man began to calculate the total amount that he was obliged to give to the boy. He was even a little surprised at how much he would need to give to a child no more than seven years old. - As a result, you get 260000 rubles. If you live alone, then this money will be enough for you for a long time, so you will have a life without distress for the next six months for sure, and possibly for the whole year. The main thing is to spend them wisely.

Immediately after that, Toru went behind the counter and from somewhere below took out all the necessary amount. A whole stack of bills fell on the small palm of Sora, who was now smiling from ear to ear. In addition to the proceeds, a very interesting notification came out in front of his face.

[Your first transaction was completed successfully]

[Congratulations to the user!]

[After making the first D-class deal, you get a reward!]

[After making the first successful transaction, you get a reward!]

[You have unlocked the store!]

[You have gained +1 level!]

[You have gained +1 level!]

[You can choose a reward for leveling up!]

He only had to think about one notification, after which other notifications began to appear immediately in front of the guy's face, which he has so far waved off. It's better to do this without witnesses.

- Thank you, I'll come by from time to time, okay? - having received the money and put it in his pocket, he immediately decided to make acquaintances with these kind people.

"What's your name?" Otherwise, we have already said our names. - instead of answering Thor, I asked a counter question.

- Sora, my name is Sora.

- Beautiful name... - the girl dreamily put a thin finger to her cheek.

- Okay, Sora, you can visit us, and if you find similar tools, we will be happy to make another deal with you.

A subtle hint that Sora immediately understood. It seems the man did not believe his stories. But if he didn't do anything, but only offered cooperation, then this is only a plus for a guy who accidentally got a place to sell goods.

- See you again! Goodbye! - the boy waved his hand and ran out of the store, not forgetting the bag of groceries.

Today was quite profitable for him. Moreover, he had finished with all his chores, now he could go back to the library.

He had already sent the money to the system. Still, he did not want to immediately lose all his money because of pickpockets, and for such personalities he would just be a tasty morsel. Still, it's easiest to steal from small ones who can't answer in any way.

But no one attacked him, letting him quietly enjoy bananas on the way to the place where a huge amount of media is stored. And for Sora, this is the most necessary thing right now, and there was enough time. Perhaps he will be able to read a few books or scrolls still there.

All along the way, those two trailed behind him, even slowing down in places. Sora even decided to hide from them. After turning into alleys a couple of times, hiding behind adults, he calmly dropped his tail, which was already almost falling off himself.

Sora followed the old route, focusing on some of the most memorable signs or houses. And after ten minutes he got to the place where he parted with his new acquaintance.
