The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"No need for payment. Just come and patronize my business more often!" Murphy was unaware of what the Third Generation was thinking, and he didn't care. He just hoped the Third Generation and their friends would come to the bar more often so he could have more entertainment.

"If you could, it would be even better if you could share some stories about your world with me!"

"no problem."

The Third Hokage secretly decided that even if he didn't come himself, he would still send someone to report to Murphy regularly on the movements of the ninja world.

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that it connects different dimensions is an unparalleled opportunity. Not to mention that Murphy generously allows them to trade with people from other dimensions here.

Afterwards, the Third Generation and Gintoki had a conversation.

"What?" Upon hearing Gintoki's offer, the Third Hokage almost wondered if he was getting old and his hearing was failing.

"Huh, did I ask for too much? Maybe I can lower the price a little." Gintoki didn't expect the Third Hokage to react so strongly: "Manga books are actually quite expensive. And since you need them tomorrow, I can only buy the collected volumes. Otherwise, buying secondhand magazines would be much cheaper."

"No, no, no!" The Third Hokage immediately shook his head, afraid that Gintoki would misunderstand.

He was surprised not because Gintoki's offer was too high, but because his offer was too low.

The Third Generation was prepared to be ripped off, but Gintoki only asked for a few small gold bars.

Although gold is a valuable currency in the ninja world, it's still far from the enormous price he anticipated.

This was a chance to know the future, and he was even prepared to give away half of Konoha's storehouse.

As for whether they'd be scammed... the Third Hokage still suspected that Murphy was behind Gintoki. Even if the shopkeeper really did have such a twisted sense of humor, it didn't matter. If they could please a powerful figure like him, they'd likely reap sufficient rewards later.

"They're just comics, they're not worth much! I, Gin, am not the kind of person who doesn't have morals!"

Gintoki sensed something was wrong; it seemed he had offered too low a price. Damn it, how could he have forgotten that this person was the Kage of a village? But going back on his word now would be too embarrassing, so Gintoki could only try his best to appear generous.

The third generation admired him: This samurai may look a bit dejected, but he is indeed a hero of his time!

He took out several gold coins, similar to the koban gold coins from the Edo period, from his pocket and handed them to Gintoki.

After deciding to come to the bar with Naruto, the Third Hokage prepared a lot of gold and silver in addition to the two ninjas from the ninja world, just in case.

Gintoki weighed it in his hand; the purity seemed good, and the weight was much higher than the price he had asked for. He hesitated for a few seconds, and although reluctant, he decided to return a little.

Ah Yin is a man of his word; no matter how reluctant he is, he will take more.

But the third generation refused.

"I am very interested in Lord Sakata's world. Could you use the remaining money to bring me some books from your world?"

“Alright then!” Gintoki readily agreed and immediately stuffed the gold into his pocket.

It seems this samurai is living in dire straits! The Third Hokage and Kakashi are on the same wavelength.

“Mr. Sakata, it’s fate that we’ve met. Would you like to have a few drinks together?” the Third Generation invited.

“Okay!” Gintoki sat down without even a second’s hesitation.

He'd been craving the drinks at the bar for ages. If it weren't for the abundance of sweets lately, and his tight budget, he would have given in long ago.

The Third Hokage and Kakashi were slightly surprised, but Naruto was very happy. He happened to have many questions he wanted to ask Gintoki.

"White-haired uncle... um, um..." Naruto hesitated for a moment, "What exactly happened with that thing you mentioned before?"

'This kid is really carefree!' Gintoki thought to himself. He hadn't felt that way when reading the manga, but after meeting him in person, he couldn't help but have this thought.

She had only just learned about her background and the source of her resentment and exclusion. Could she really just cry a little, ask a few angry questions, and then casually investigate her first kiss?

Is it because he's single-minded, or because he's kind? In any case, Gintoki is ashamed of himself.

Gintoki casually picked up a kebab: "This actually happened after you graduated. I think it was a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?" Naruto wrinkled his nose, but immediately realized, "Graduation? I graduated?!"

In this peaceful era, students at the Ninja Academy typically graduate at the age of 12. However, considering tradition, students are given the opportunity to take a graduation exam every year, starting when they turn 10. Naruto, now ten, recently took his first graduation exam. Naturally, he failed because he never paid attention in class. Not only that, but he also received a good scolding from his teacher, Iruka.

"Hahaha, I knew I could pass the exam and become a ninja!"

The Third Hokage and Kakashi, standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief. More than Naruto's graduation, they were concerned that the kiss between Naruto and Sasuke was just a misunderstanding.

One of them is the last surviving member of the Fourth Hokage, and the other is a descendant of the Uchiha clan. If they were to become a couple, they truly wouldn't know how to face their ancestors in the afterlife.

"Mmm, delicious!" Gintoki's eyes lit up after taking a bite of the meat skewer.

These are truly the finest ingredients in the restaurant. Even though they were a bit cold, they were still the most delicious fried skewers he had ever eaten!

The Third Hokage and Kakashi were also feeling a bit hungry. So they each picked up the side dishes in front of them and started to eat.

Naruto picked up a piece of Kyubey steak, was about to eat it, when he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Kakashi asked with concern, taking a bite of the Garbaton meatball. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Naruto frowned and rubbed his belly: "I was thinking, we're all eating, but it can't. Isn't that a bit pitiful?"

"Huh?" The Third Hokage and Kakashi didn't expect that he was worried about this.

Even the Nine Lamas looked up in surprise.

Testimonials

Before I knew it, it was time to go live again. Tomorrow is Friday, time to go live.

Although this isn't my first book, since it's going to be released, I'll do my usual post (and share my sad thoughts) as usual.

Let me first talk about the initial motivation for writing this book. The reason I wrote this book is because I have many fanfics about older anime that I want to write. But I can't write many fanfics at the same time. So this idea came to me.

I initially wanted to write about chat groups, but after watching The Solitary Gourmet and Midnight Diner, I thought about it and realized that food and alcohol are the easiest things to make people relax and connect with strangers. In addition, I couldn't forget the monster bar concept, so I wrote about this topic.

However, since I don't drink alcohol and don't know much about cooking, this idea basically disappeared when I was writing it, haha.

Overall, this book is essentially a crossover between various anime and manga, but there will definitely be tokusatsu (special effects) content in the later parts. The grudges and entanglements between Murphy, the Land of Light, and the Dark Legion will be interwoven with the interactions between the various guests and gradually unfold.

Now that I've explained my initial intentions, it's time to play the victim.

I'd been struggling financially for quite a while, which left me very strapped for cash. I'm generally sickly; I don't have any major illnesses, but I suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, along with a host of occupational diseases, meaning I have to take medication every day. Excluding medical expenses, I hadn't saved any money at all.

So another important purpose of starting this book is to earn money for medicine. Surprisingly, the number of readers of these older works is more than I expected, and the results so far are better than I anticipated. So everyone can rest assured that I will absolutely not abandon the project, whether from a performance perspective or a livelihood perspective. My completed older works, totaling nearly ten million words, can also serve as proof.

Finally, let's talk about the update plan after it's released.

I always write and post as I go, so I don't have any drafts saved up. But I'm going to try my best tonight and tomorrow during the day, and try to update more, at least five chapters.

If my results are still good, I will try my best to earn 10,000 yuan every day.

But regardless, as the author, I must thank everyone for your continued support and love. Therefore, I will do my best to write content that everyone will enjoy.

Chapter 57 Why did the Nine-Tailed Fox preserve the history of selling ditches?

Kakashi: "Naruto, are you worried about Kurama?"

Naruto nodded.

Kakashi felt a little numb. Although he had vaguely guessed it, his mind was still a bit of a mess when Naruto actually admitted it.

That's a Tailed Beast! It's the embodiment of hatred and despair, a moving natural disaster, and the culprit that has caused countless calamities.

But for some reason, he felt a sense of relief deep down.

Naruto's kindness may seem a little out of place, but the quality itself is not wrong.

Kakashi thought of his teacher and best friend. In Naruto, he saw the shadows of both Minato and Obito.

The Third Hokage sighed, "Naruto, having compassion is a good thing. But the Nine-Tails is a tailed beast, not a human. It is the embodiment of calamity. And..."

It was it that killed your parents.

"But didn't the shopkeeper just say that it's a customer too?" Naruto knew what the Third Hokage meant by the unspoken second half of his statement. But he still stuck to his own opinion.

He didn't just forgive the Nine-Tails like that.

He was just young and didn't know what a Tailed Beast was until today. He wasn't bound by the deeply ingrained beliefs of the ninja world.

In his simplistic mind, the Nine-Tailed Fox = Monster = Monster = Jamila and Murphy.

In Naruto's eyes, Jamila and Murphy, despite their scary appearance, are both very, very good people.

Furthermore, he had never actually seen the Nine-Tails, and he had only just heard about his parents. Therefore, his resentment towards the Nine-Tails wasn't actually that deep.

On the contrary, after learning that the Nine-Tails had actually been sealed away for countless years, Naruto actually developed a little bit of empathy for it.

Over the years, he had been ostracized by the villagers as a fox demon. He knew all too well what it felt like to be rejected and hated by everyone.

Naruto awkwardly voiced his thoughts. The Third Hokage and Kakashi exchanged bewildered glances.

'Isn't Naruto's empathy a little too strong?'

In the past, they would have thought this kind of thinking was weak and unsuitable for becoming a ninja.

But now, they are somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of future Naruto's way of thinking will lead Konoha to.

It has only been a few decades since the end of the Warring States period and the establishment of the ninja village system.

Therefore, every ninja village, including Konoha, is still figuring out how to better survive in this era.

The Will of Fire, for example, was Konoha's early answer.

Now, while it can't be said that the Will of Fire is wrong, relying solely on it to guide the village is clearly insufficient.

The third generation is too old to continue building upon this theory. But now, he feels he sees the future.

However, while strong empathy is a good thing, one shouldn't empathize with everything. Therefore, the Third Hokage and Kakashi felt it necessary to give Naruto some extra lessons so he could better distinguish right from wrong.

Kurama listened to Naruto's innermost thoughts without missing a single word.

After a moment of silence, it bared its teeth and gave a disdainful snort.

No matter how nicely you put it, in the end, it will still be treated as a tool.

"Little monster, are you touched?"

Murphy used telepathy to ask the Nine Lamas.

"How could I possibly be moved by that idiot!" Kurama roared in fury. Even aliens shouldn't underestimate him like that.

"Really? But that's not what you really think."

Nine-Lama was stunned: "You can sense my feelings?"

"Understanding people's hearts is nothing to me."

Nine-Lama noticed that Murphy didn't seem to be in a good mood when he said that.

"Little monster, do you want to be free?"

Nine-Ra suddenly perked up. Murphy asked, "What does this mean? Does it mean they want to release me?"

"Of course I want to," Nine Lamas immediately thought of answering.

But when it looked at its inner world, which was flooded with water, it suddenly fell silent.

It had been waiting for this day for a long time. Once the tailed beast leaves the jinchūriki's body, the jinchūriki will die very quickly.

Kurama didn't really care about Naruto's life. After all, Naruto was just a cage used to restrain him.

However, when the time came, it hesitated.

'Isn't it pitiful?'

Naruto's words were still ringing in my ears.

Nine Lamas paced restlessly inside the seal.

Damn brat! I don't need your pity!

After panting a few times, Nine-Lama irritably lay down again.

"I will gain my freedom in my own way!" Nine-Lama seemed to be answering Murphy, or perhaps convincing himself.

It is a tailed beast created by the Sage of Six Paths, and it must not be as despicable as humans!

Murphy found it interesting.

"Little monster, are you crying?"

"I am not a little monster." Kurama was annoyed by being called a little monster.

After a moment's hesitation, Kurama said, "I have a name! My name is Kurama!"

"Okay, little monster."

Nine-Lama's teeth were itching; this shop manager must have done it on purpose, right?

On the other side, the Third Hokage and Kakashi eventually went along with Naruto's wishes and ordered a meal for Kurama.
