Fire Country – Peter's Shop
"Now that I've finally made enough money… what ability should I exchange for?" Peter muttered, staring at the dazzling array of goods in the system mall.
In the beginning, his only dream was to earn ten small goals—ten billion ryo—so he could exchange them for a powerful ability and dominate the ninja world.
Once he had that kind of strength, he could finally leave the shop and see the outside world with his own eyes—to explore the customs and landscapes of the ninja world.
But now that he had the money... he was paralyzed by indecision.
There were just too many powerful items in the system mall. Everything looked tempting, and he had no idea what to choose.
"Tsk… What should I buy?" Peter scrolled through the system interface.
> "The Five Elements Belt from the Emperor's Armor? Hmm... no thanks."
"Doraemon's Four-Dimensional Treasure Bag? Kinda interesting… but I'll pass."
"Iron Man's armor? Let's look a bit more…"
As he continued browsing, still stuck in thought, the members of the Akatsuki Organization walked into the shop.
"Boss, long time no see," said Nagato.
Peter snapped out of his daze at the sound of the familiar voice.
Seeing the Akatsuki group enter, he was a little surprised—but then smiled warmly.
"It's been a while, Nagato. What brings you all here today?"
He hadn't seen them in quite some time since their last visit. To be honest, he'd even started to miss them a little—especially his very first customer: Orochimaru.
At that thought, Peter's eyes turned toward Orochimaru.
But the moment he saw him, his eyes widened in shock.
Orochimaru was dressed in a green Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand like a Daoist priest!
Peter rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating—but no, it was real.
"Orochimaru… why are you wearing a Taoist robe?" he asked, confused.
In all his understanding of the Naruto world, there were no Taoist priests. Where did this outfit even come from?
"Haha," Orochimaru chuckled. "I read in a book that wearing Taoist clothes helps with cultivating a calmer mindset, so I had one made."
"Ah… I see," Peter nodded, enlightened.

"Boss, we're here to buy nuclear weapons!" said Konan suddenly.
Peter blinked, startled.
Nuclear weapons? Already?
How did they make enough money so fast? Is it really that easy for ninjas to get rich?
"Congratulations," Peter said sincerely. "Now you can use deterrence to bring about peace."
With the threat of nuclear weapons, surely even the Five Great Nations wouldn't dare to start a war so casually. It would bring much-needed stability to the ninja world.
Especially for troublemakers like Obito and Black Zetsu—those two were now too busy chasing money to start any wars.
Thinking of Obito, Peter sighed.
When will that guy ever manage to gather 80 billion?
If he'd known back then…
---
In the early days of his shop, Peter had been desperate to make money and leave. So, to maximize profits, he sold low-cost, high-priced items to customers—even though he had better options in stock.
He kept the good stuff hidden, offering subpar products just to increase his commissions.
After all, the system only gave him a 1% commission per sale—and on top of that, it stuck him in a remote backwater village.
He had no choice but to squeeze every ryo out of each visitor.
At the time, Peter estimated it would take him seven or eight years just to make a few hundred million.
But he never expected A Fei to be so talented in business.
Under Peter's guidance, A Fei ended up building an entire corporate empire.
According to A Fei, the company's market value had nearly reached 100 billion, and his personal savings had grown to 10 billion.
Not only that—they even spent tens of billions to construct a headquarters building big enough to house tens of thousands of employees.
That skyscraper became the tallest structure in the ninja world, drawing in tourists and job seekers from everywhere.
A Fei's company covered multiple industries, offered excellent benefits, and soon became the dream employer of the entire ninja population.
Recently, even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire approached A Fei with a proposal: to designate an area near the building as a Special Economic Zone, turning it into a new capital city—one even more prosperous than the current one.
When Peter heard all this, he was left speechless.
Thanks to A Fei's wild spending, Peter earned tens of billions effortlessly.
---
With that kind of money in hand, he no longer cared about Obito's missing 80 billion.
Next time they met, he'd even offer Obito a genuinely cost-effective resurrection method—no tricks.
After all, now that Peter could exchange for powerful abilities, money was no longer a necessity.
At this point, he might as well become the dream-maker of the ninja world.

"Hey, Boss Peter," said Nagato, pulling him back to the present, "you don't know this yet, but we're planning to use the nuclear weapon against the Ninja Alliance of the Five Great Villages."
Peter blinked. "Wait—what? The Ninja Alliance!?"
That meant... the Fourth Ninja World War had already started?
But wait—if Obito and Black Zetsu were busy getting rich, who started the war?
"Could the butterfly effect caused by my transmigration be corrected by the world itself?" Peter muttered. "Even without Obito, someone else has stepped into his place…"
---
Everyone in Akatsuki: "???"
Biwa Jūzō asked quietly, "Do any of you understand what the boss just said? What butterfly effect? What history correction?"
The others all shook their heads.
Only Orochimaru stared at Peter, deep in thought.
"Time travel… butterfly effect… history's self-correction…"
His eyes lit up with a strange gleam, and he licked the corner of his lips instinctively, muttering:
> "Heh… so it's true."
A question that had lingered in Orochimaru's mind for a long time had finally been answered.
No wonder Boss Peter possesses such incredible power yet never leaves the shop.
It wasn't that he didn't want to leave—but perhaps… he couldn't.
Because Peter didn't belong to this world at all.
He was restricted by the rules of this reality, unable to step beyond the shop's boundaries.
He could only stay and wait patiently for the arrival of the destined person…
And now, Orochimaru was certain—they were the destined ones he had been waiting for.
