Chapter 164: Short Sword

[T/N: It was Gamakichi that was summoned not Gamabunta. Sorry for the mistake in the last chapter.]

Upon hearing Charles's words, Gamakichi didn't hesitate and directly replied, "Lord Charles, when I came over here, I didn't bring my own weapon." 

"Can you find a suitable short sword for me? About 16 meters long, and preferably of higher quality. If it can be infused with some chakra metal, that would be even better."

As Gamakichi mentioned the 16-meter-long short sword, Charles's mouth twitched. That would be about the height of a five-story building. Was it still appropriate to call it a short sword?

However, considering Gamakichi's height, 16 meters was just about half his size, so calling it a short sword wasn't entirely inaccurate. It seemed that this was indeed his exclusive short sword.

"Alright, I'll go back and arrange for someone to find it for you. However, we don't have any chakra metal at the moment, but you don't need to worry about the hardness of the sword. We'll use the best metal for its construction. When we have better materials in the future, we can replace it then."

"Thank you very much, Lord Charles!" Gamakichi replied without any reservation.

As Charles thought about changing the materials, he recalled Wakanda, which occupied a vast source of vibranium on Earth, as well as the mystical Heart-Shaped Herb. 

The fact that these resources were controlled by a group of people who kept them hidden and avoided any trade dealings gave Charles a headache.

He thought to himself, "I'll have to visit and negotiate when my strength is stronger and I have more confidence."

After finalizing Gamakichi's short sword, Charles gave him a few simple instructions, advising the summoning beasts to get along amiably and avoid fighting.

Charles knew that, apart from toads and snakes being archenemies, the grown Gamakichi had an exceptionally irritable temper, even more fiery than his father, Gamabunta.

If it weren't for the system's presence, they might have fought it out as soon as they came together through Summoning. 

Luckily, Charles's spiritual world was large enough, with plenty of territory for them to divide. Otherwise, with more spiritual beasts and even larger tailed beasts coming in the future, it would have turned into chaos.

Leaving the spiritual world, Charles returned to his room, took a look at his handsome face in the mirror, and immediately went to freshen up.

After tidying up, Charles walked out of his room and headed to the lounge on the first floor, where Iruka was on duty at the service counter. 

Upon seeing Charles coming down, Iruka spoke, "Lord Charles, the special agent who commissioned the mission yesterday sent a chest with information and items related to the task."

Charles stopped in his tracks, about to head to the dining area, and turned to the counter, saying, "In that case, ask Lee, Sasuke, and Naruto to come to the dining area to find me. You come along as well."

After speaking, Charles went to the dining area, found a seat, and sat down.

The waiter approached and inquired about the order, but Charles took out a bowl of delicious ramen directly from his storage space.

It must be said that the system's products were indeed excellent. The flavor of the delicious ramen was truly exceptional. It had been a while since Charles had eaten it, and he couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic. 

As for its energy-restoring effect...

Charles thought to himself, "I'm just enjoying it, what's the harm?"

In no time, Charles finished the large bowl of delicious ramen. At that moment, Iruka arrived with the three young ninjas.

As Charles was sitting at the dining table, he was very excited to see Naruto rushing over and shouting, "Good morning, Lord Charles!"

Charles extended his hand and ruffled Naruto's head, saying, "Naruto is here, huh?"

Seeing Charles touch his head, Naruto's smile grew even wider. Since he came here, he had never felt any rejection, even from fellow ninjas like Sasuke, Rock Lee, and others.

This kind of life made Naruto very happy, especially living with everyone and eating together every day. These were the kind of days he had never dared to imagine in the past.

At that moment, Iruka arrived near Charles with Rock Lee and Sasuke, respectfully saying, "Lord Charles!"

"Come, everyone, take a seat first," Charles said, waving his hand.

Seeing everyone seated, Charles waved his hand, and a bowl of delicious ramen appeared in front of each of them. He noticed that Naruto had been eyeing his bowl of ramen, so he knew that the boy was craving it too.

Seeing the appearance of the delicious ramen in front of them, Iruka immediately spoke, "Lord Charles, we've already had breakfast, and it's a bit extravagant to consume this delicious ramen like this."

Iruka and the others had always regarded the delicious ramen as strategic supplies, treating it as a military ration without side effects in this world.

Upon hearing Iruka's words, Naruto's visibly excited expression immediately turned a bit dejected, seeming a little sulky. 

On the other hand, Rock Lee and Uchiha Sasuke didn't show any particular expression. While the ramen tasted good, it wasn't something they couldn't live without. 

After all, everyone didn't share Naruto's passionate love for ramen. Besides, there were many other delicacies in this world, and the new chef at the agency was also very competent.

Charles looked at everyone and then smiled, saying, "It's alright, Iruka. We're not lacking in this thing. Occasionally eating it won't affect anything. We don't have to consume delicious ramen every day."

Seeing Charles's insistence, Iruka didn't refuse further. He just wanted to remind and express his thoughts. On the other hand, Naruto exclaimed, "Long live, Lord Charles!"

Charles waved his hand and then said with a smile, "Go ahead and eat. After you're done, I have some things to discuss with you all."

"We're digging in!" everyone replied.

With a smile on his face, Charles watched everyone eating and couldn't help but think that he hoped this place could make up for their regrets.

Thinking of Naruto's parents, besides his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, being somewhat difficult to recruit, his mother Kushina Uzumaki would be relatively easier since one was an S-rank ninja, and the other was a B-rank ninja which were comparatively easier to solve.

As for Rock Lee's mentor, Might Guy, it wasn't that difficult for Charles. Although he was an A-rank ninja and currently didn't have a shard, given the situation in the mobile game, the difficulty of recruiting shouldn't be too exaggerated.

On the other hand, Charles was somewhat troubled by the parents and clan members that Sasuke wanted. Before he crossed over, he didn't have the ninja card for Fugaku and Mikoto, and he didn't see them in the recruiting interface till now.

On the contrary, Sasuke didn't want to see Itachi, and there were so many different Itachi ninja cards. From childhood Itachi, Anbu Itachi, Akatsuki Itachi, Susano'o Itachi, to Edo Tensei Itachi, there was almost every version available, and there were even some special editions from events, which were just beyond your imagination.

As for other clan members, it was either Shisui or Madara. Charles believed that none of these people were the clan members that Uchiha Sasuke wanted.

Charles sighed in his heart.
