Capítulo 362: Chapter 362: The Ultimate Move of Sincerity!
The spatial fluctuation lasted for about ten minutes. In the air, a shimmering door appeared. As it opened, Reiki emerged, his face glowing with excitement.
"Everyone, have you been waiting for me?" Reiki waved at the group, his tone light and playful.
But instead of the joy he expected, he was met with a series of grim expressions. The tension was palpable; their weariness and quiet frustration were directed squarely at him.
They had waited over a month, worrying constantly about Reiki's safety. The thought of returning to the village with bad news would have been unthinkable, not just for their mission but for the repercussions on their lives. And now, Reiki was back, acting as if he hadn't been gone at all.
"Reiki, do you have any idea how long you were gone?" Namikaze Minato asked, struggling to keep his emotions in check.
"Probably more than a month?" Reiki replied sheepishly. "Brother Minato, I'm really sorry for making you all wait. I didn't have time to warn you before I got sucked into that strange space when I touched the jade from An Lushanzan."
He paused, taking a breath before adding, "To make it up to you, I'll create potions tailored to each of your needs. As a gesture of goodwill, I'll even include some special potions as compensation. So, tell me, Brother Minato, Kakashi, what do you need?"
Reiki's sincerity and his genuine offer caught Minato off-guard. The anger simmering inside him softened.
"I could use some potions to strengthen my body and increase my chakra capacity," Akimichi Tingza spoke up first, breaking the silence. "And if you have potions that accelerate chakra extraction, my clan would be interested in purchasing them regularly."
"I need a potion that attracts bugs for cultivation, and some body-strengthening ones as well," Aburame Shibi added.
"I'd like high-grade spirit-clearing and body-enhancing potions," Kakashi said.
"Same here," Rin chimed in.
"Boss, I want a spirit-clearing potion and something to boost my ninjutsu and genjutsu," Obito said with a grin.
One by one, everyone shared their requests. Namikaze Minato looked around, dumbfounded. Was everyone so easily swayed by Reiki's offer?
But it seemed they were. Reiki's sincerity was disarming, and the value of his promise was undeniable.
"Just basic potions for me. I don't need anything else for now," Minato finally said, shaking his head. "But Reiki, next time we're on a mission together, be more mindful of your teammates' feelings. Unknown and dangerous situations need caution."
"Understood," Reiki said, scratching his head with a sheepish smile. It was the perfect resolution for him.
"Alright, let me seal this dragon vein to prevent others from using it," Minato said, turning to the dragon vein.
Reiki exchanged a few words with Kakashi before disappearing. He soon arrived at Sara's chamber.
"Is the dragon vein going to be sealed?" Sara asked, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. "Were you preparing for our deal during your absence?"
During the past month, Namikaze Minato and the others had helped identify Rouran's vulnerabilities. Sara knew their kingdom was vulnerable—just prey for any major power in the ninja world seeking control.
"I got caught up in another realm, but I never forgot my promise to you," Reiki said, pulling out a map and pointing to a marked location. "I've found a place for the Kingdom of Rouran."
"Yancun?" Sara looked at the marked spot. "This is within the jurisdiction of the Land of Fire, isn't it? Can you really convince them to let us settle there?"
The location was on the border, near the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind. It was flat but marked as infertile land, unsuitable for agriculture. Starting over in such a place didn't seem appealing.
"I'll purchase the land. As for developing it, I'll provide as much assistance as possible," Reiki assured her. "Of course, there's a condition for this support." He handed Sara a scroll.
"What's this?" Sara unfurled the scroll, scanning its contents with a puzzled expression.
"You need the backing of an influential group for stability, and they need economic expansion. It's a complementary relationship. But if you're not comfortable with this, I'll still keep my promise," Reiki said calmly.
"Sanada Chamber of Commerce?" Sara's eyes widened. "They visited Rouran before, and I've interacted with them. They're reputable. If they won't interfere in governance..."
"They won't dare," Reiki reassured her. "I'm glad you're willing to cooperate. I hope the Kingdom of Rouran grows stronger soon. The future ninja world is heading toward chaos."
With that, Reiki turned and vanished.
