The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"A monster that feeds on negative emotions. I don't remember the details very well. After all, I've never been to your universe." Murphy Bear shrugged.

"Our universe?"

"This is a monster tavern that connects to infinite dimensions. Most of the guests here come from different dimensions."

Murphy pointed to the Naruto group and Gintoki, who were quietly watching the drama unfold.

"For example, those guys over there come from a world where there are only ninjas."

"Ninja?" Jun Himeya turned his head in confusion, and the Third Hokage and Kakashi gave him a friendly nod.

Jun Himeya still doesn't quite understand what "only ninjas" means. Why does Murphy make it sound like they're not human?

"Why don't you demonstrate some ninjutsu to him?"

Murphy asked for the opinion of the third generation.

"Leave it to me!" Naruto volunteered, but was immediately stopped by the Third Hokage.

Just kidding, Naruto doesn't even know the Three Body Technique right now. If we give this task to him, wouldn't that be embarrassing in another dimension?

"Kakashi, you do it!"

"Yes!" Kakashi stood up. He thought for a moment, and although Murphy hadn't set any restrictions, since they were indoors, it was best not to go too far.

So he put his index and middle fingers together, crossed them in front of his chest to form a cross, and made a seal resembling the character "壬".

"This is a ninjutsu that can create physical clones. Shadow Clone Technique!"

Kakashi had considered everything carefully: while it's not necessary to pronounce the name of a ninjutsu when it's being used normally, it's still necessary to explain it properly when it's being demonstrated.

With a "snap!", Kakashi split from one into two.

Himeya Jun's eyes widened instantly.

He had never seen this before.

"It's fate that we met, so let's toast to you!"

Kakashi's clone poured wine for his main body and gave a distant salute to Jun Himeya.

Jun Himeya also raised his beer can, but his eyes were still blank.

This looks like a scene from a TV show has jumped into reality.

Gintoki scratched his head quietly. Wasn't it supposed to be that the new customer would teach him the basics? Why is the manager doing it himself?

Sure enough, the shop manager is a hypocrite! He says he hates Ultraman, but he probably still likes him a lot!

After finishing his drink, Kakashi dispelled his clone.

"Wow, that's amazing! He can even create physical clones!" Naruto's eyes lit up as he clung to Kakashi.

"Kakashi-senpai, teach me this move!"

"Then you'd better study hard when you get back. At least you can't fail the written test again!" Kakashi glanced at the Third Hokage and agreed only when he saw that the Third Hokage didn't object.

"Ugh!" Naruto's expression scrunched up.

For someone who dislikes studying, this request was like taking his life.

"Teacher... your parents were both top students at the Ninja Academy. If you want to surpass all the Hokage and become the strongest Hokage, you can't be worse than them!"

"Alright then!" Kakashi had grasped Naruto's weakness, and after listening, Naruto reluctantly agreed.

Afterwards, the three generations quickly finished the food in front of them and left the bar.

Although they were very interested in the human who resembled Ultraman, they had been away from Konoha for far too long. If they didn't return soon, trouble would ensue in the village.

The Third Hokage, who had been in a good mood, immediately became extremely anxious at the thought that Danzo might take the opportunity to act crazy in the village.

Naruto was reluctant to part. He actually valued care more than hatred.

Such happy moments as tonight were rare in his short life. He was afraid that it was all just a dream.

However, seeing how anxious the Third Hokage and Kakashi were, Naruto suppressed his reluctance and sensibly left with them.

The Third Hokage and Kakashi saw through his emotions, and both of them sighed inwardly.

They used to think Naruto was a troublemaker, but now they realize that it was mainly because they, as adults, hadn't done enough!

"Lord Sakata, I'm entrusting the manga matter to you!"

"Leave it to me!" Gintoki patted his bulging belly and let out a satisfied burp. "I, Gintoki, am the best Yorozuya owner!"

Meanwhile, Himeya Jun is constantly asking on the other side what Ultraman Morphy and the Alien Beasts really are.

"...So I'll become Ultraman someday?"

Chapter Sixty: Sun Slayer is incompetent; I must leave the mountain!

Murphy just gave Jun Himeya a lesson on what Ultraman is.

Justice, compassion, courage, strength... almost every praise in the world can be applied to them.

After hearing this, Jun Himeya couldn't help but question whether someone like him really deserved to become Ultraman.

"Then you'll have to ask yourself!"

Murphy shrugged.

"After all, compared to other Ultraman, Nexus's host is, in a sense, a consumable. They have to burn their own lives to strengthen the light of Nexus."

Jun Himeya, who had been hesitant, immediately raised his head: "How can I become a Nexus host?"

Murphy almost lost his composure. Ha, Benchmark, do you really not value your own life?

Himeya Jun shook his head.

"I just want to make my life a little more meaningful..."

Jun Himeya picked up the last can of beer and downed it in one gulp. Then he pulled a handful of bills haphazardly from his wallet and placed them on the table without even counting them.

"Thank you, manager."

After finishing his sentence, Himeya Jun turned and walked towards the exit of the bar. However, before he could take a step, he suddenly tripped and stumbled, almost falling over.

Murphy stared at Jun Himeya's retreating figure, and for some reason, he sensed a feeling of desolation and loneliness.

After Jun Himeya left the bar, Murphy picked up the banknotes on the table.

Murphy glanced at the banknotes in his hand and sighed, "This isn't enough to pay the bill!"

Beer in space is not only stronger than on Earth, but it also costs dozens of times more. So, while Jun Himeya's actions seem generous, the money he took out was actually only enough to buy half a can.

……

"Hiruzen is being foolish, I must come out of seclusion!"

When the Third Hokage rushed back to the Hokage Building, he could hear Danzo's powerful voice from a great distance.

“Hiruzen might not be in any danger. Besides, Jiraiya is coming back soon. According to Hiruzen, if something happens to him, Jiraiya will succeed him as Hokage.”

The speaker was Mitokado Homura. Like Koharu Utatane and Danzo, he was an old classmate and teammate of the Third Hokage. Now he was the Hokage's advisor in the village, and the four of them, along with the Third Hokage and Danzo, were considered the pinnacle of power in Konoha, forming the Konoha F4.

Although he often colluded with Danzo to hinder the Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura believed that it was all for the sake of the village, out of a sense of public duty, and he had a clear conscience.

But things would be different if Danzo became Hokage. Given Danzo's personality and style, who knows what kind of mess he would make of the village. So at this moment, he and Koharu Utatane are working together to insist on waiting for Jiraiya to return before discussing the Hokage position.

"The village cannot be without a shadow for even a day! If anything goes wrong during this time, you will be the sinners of the village!"

Danzo was unwilling to accept this. Knowing that the Third Hokage had gone mad and run off to that tavern with the Nine-Tails, he rushed to the Hokage's office immediately. His goal was to seize power and fulfill his desires should something truly happen to the Third Hokage.

Danzo had dreamed of becoming Hokage his entire life. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he had to consider whether this was his only chance in his life.

Although the third generation is soft-hearted, he understands his 'best friend' very well.

Therefore, in addition to leaving a secret letter for Jiraiya before setting off, he also arranged for people to notify the two Hokage advisors, so that they could check Danzo if they discovered any unusual behavior.

"You're right."

The third generation pushed open the door.

"But I'm right here!"

Seeing the Third Hokage return, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so good that Hiruzen is safe and sound!"

It would be good if Jiraiya returned to be Hokage, but it would obviously be better if the Third Hokage could return safely.

Danzo's single eye had a sinister look in it.

It was so close! How could Hiruzen come back! How could he come back!

Danzo was so angry he almost lost his temper. But he had endured for decades and had long since cultivated a strong mentality. In an instant, he suppressed his emotions and forced himself to calm down.

"Hiruzen, you've taken too much of a risk! How could you leave the village with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki without discussing it with us!"

"I just went out for a meal, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it!" the third generation laughed it off.

"Hiruzen, don't try to downplay the seriousness of the matter," Danzo pressed aggressively. "As the Kage of a village, doing something like this is irresponsible towards the village!"

Danzo quickly racked his brains: Hiruzen was, after all, a Kage, and impeaching him wouldn't be easy. But taking the opportunity to suppress him and gradually erode some of his power was still worth a try.

"Hiruzen, you really went to that pub run by that alien? What's going on there?"

Although Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were a bit lacking in intelligence and ability, they didn't have the same ambition as Danzo, so they tacitly changed the subject at this moment.

"It's a good place!" The Third Hokage carefully considered his words, omitting the parts about being honest with Naruto and buying the manga from Gintoki, and told the rest of the story.

"This is a village secret, you absolutely must not reveal it to anyone!" the third generation said, giving them repeated instructions.

"Extraterrestrials actually exist? And they even possess the ability to cross dimensions?"

A barely perceptible glint of greed flashed in Danzo's eyes.

Although he disliked the third generation, he trusted his judgment. So after hearing it, he no longer doubted the authenticity of Monster Tavern.

"If that kind of power could be mastered by the village..."

"Danzo," the Third Hokage interrupted him directly, "Don't even think about such dangerous things."

The Third Hokage was very self-aware. Let alone ordinary ninjas, even if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who were practically gods of ninjas, were to be resurrected, they wouldn't necessarily be much better than a child when facing Murphy.

Danzo said unhappily, "Of course I wouldn't be that unwise."

He's ambitious, not stupid. Why would he provoke such a mysterious entity that sounds dangerous?

"I was just thinking that we could go to the bar a few more times and see if we could figure out the secrets of dimensional travel. Or maybe we could try to buy some high-value technology from the manager or other customers."

After Danzo finished speaking, he glanced at the Third Hokage with his one eye: "Hiruzen, you didn't just go there and eat and drink all that, did you?"

The third generation smiled wryly: "Go there often? How can we afford to go! The prices there are extremely high."

When the Third Hokage said this, Kakashi, who had just seen Naruto home, looked at his empty wallet.

"The Hokage will reimburse me, right? He definitely will, won't he?"

The more generous Kakashi was when treating someone to a meal, the more embarrassed he became when paying the bill.

They ordered all of the restaurant's signature dishes, and naturally, each one was more expensive than the last.

If Kakashi hadn't done so many high-level missions on a regular basis, and if he hadn't spent so little money besides buying the Icha Icha Paradise, he might have had no choice but to stay and ask Murphy if there were any plans to recruit another monster girl as a mascot.

The next day, Homura Akemi arrived at the bar early.

Good morning, manager!

Perhaps because the situation has been much better recently, Homura Akemi has more energy than before.

"Good morning."

Murphy, who had been working on an experiment all night, greeted Homura Akemi with a radiant smile.

"Why are you here so early today? Did you drop out of school? That won't do! Didn't I tell you, my subordinates can't be illiterate!"

"It's the weekend, and school is on holiday."

"Oh, I see!" Murphy exclaimed in realization. "Then you really didn't need to come so early. There aren't many customers in the morning anyway. It's a rare weekend, you could go shopping with your friends!"

Murphy is a gentleman devil, not a gentleman capitalist. He deeply despises the 996 and 007 work schedules.

Homura Akemi shook her head: "I caught some Kyubeys last night, so I have to deliver them while they're still fresh. This morning, I also caught a few magical girls who had been bewitched by Kyubeys on the way. Shopkeeper, didn't you always say that you lack detailed data on humans from our world, making it difficult to truly recreate the witches? Well, we can use them to collect data!"

Murphy smirked, "You really are a good subordinate of mine!"

He was now somewhat relieved that Homura Akemi had left early yesterday and hadn't run into Jun Himeya. Otherwise, after hearing these words, Noah might have revived inside Jun Himeya's body and elbowed him.
