Journey of Desires

- Good afternoon, my name is Ban, I need to get an audience with Hiruzen Sarutobi, I have business with him as the head of the Sarutobi clan.

The secretary was a pretty looking man, maybe 26 years old, hearing Ban's words, he nodded and pointed his hand towards the waiting sofa and headed to the Hokage's office.

- Lord Hokage, a man has just arrived who requests an audience with you.

- Mission requests and their creation are on the first floor in the reception, you should know this very well. Aokizu, my boy, if you came to me knowing this, does it mean he has some unusual business?

- He requests an audience with you not as the Hokage but as the head of the Sarutobi clan. The merchants who need to buy tobacco should arrive only in a week, so I don't know who he is, he only said that his name is Ban.

- Well, fine, invite him to my office please, it's good that I'm not busy now.

Leaving the office, the secretary turned to Ban and said that the Hokage invites him inside, after which he returned to his work place and began entering data about the new visit into the register. Ban, without wasting time, went to Hiruzen's office.

- Good afternoon, Mr. Hiruzen, my name is Ban, I came to you exclusively for personal purposes, I need scrolls of the history of the Sarutobi clan for the period of the warring states era, approximately from 120 to 160 years ago, I am ready to pay in gold, or if necessary after exchanging at the bank in ryo bills.

- Good afternoon and welcome to Konoha, I hope you like our settlement. As for selling the scrolls, I cannot sell the originals.

- And copies? A rewritten version, or maybe copied by technology?

- If you are satisfied, we can arrange a deal to sell handwritten copies of the originals. For 1 scroll we ask for at least 870,000 ryo, the price is quite reasonable, how much do you need and for what year exactly?

- Ooooh, I thought ninjas make copies using some Fuinjutsu, in general, I need all the scrolls for 40 years, starting from 160 years ago.

Having heard how much this person needs, Hiruzen felt an incredible profit from such a deal, after all, several dozen scrolls have accumulated over this period, and this is only the description of battles and various strong people from enemy clans.

- These scrolls are manually copied by our people when they learn calligraphy. Then I suggest we formalize our deal, but first clarify which scrolls you need, do you want to buy absolutely all the scrolls or on a specific topic?

- I need scrolls describing the Uchiha clan, as well as battles where the Sarutobi and Senju clans fought on the same side, I need to find the place of death of one person according to the description. My sister and I are travelers and when we were in the country of hot springs we heard several stories, as a result we became interested in the description of this ancient warrior and are looking for information bit by bit.

Ban lied without blinking an eye, after all, giving out information about one of the strongest and most dangerous Uchiha, and even to someone like Hiruzen, is extremely dangerous. We cannot allow him or Danzo to get to Hikari before Ban and Kiliya.

- You decided to spend so much money just out of curiosity? If I remember correctly, there should be about 17 such scrolls, you can pay with precious metals or cash.

- Not really, we are also writing a history book for ancient times, over time some information will be lost, and people will forget the stories of their ancestors, we need to somehow pass on the history of the heroes of the past to the next generations. Well, okay, then let's create a contract, and then I'll come back tomorrow when the scrolls are ready and collected.

After 7 minutes, Ban left the Kage's office and left the building. As a result, they decided to pick it up and pay tomorrow.

Then heading straight to Kiliya, Ban collected surprised looks along the way, after all, a very tall man in very high-quality clothes of a more modern type, in a country where most people are unlikely to be at least 180 centimeters, will attract a lot of attention.

From the upcoming book about the ninja world "Beautiful Cities and What's Interesting About Them"

"The Ichiraku Ramen eatery in Konoha turned out to be a pretty cozy place, hearty food and nice employees. My new friend, whom I met literally a few hours ago before visiting Ichiraku Rasen, while walking around Konoha, brought me to this place. Regarding the food from Ichiraku Ramen, I liked everything except the eggs, for some reason they seemed a bit too sweet to me, but as far as I understand, this is just a different kind than what I'm used to, and for other people the taste was good. I also want to separately highlight how the meatballs that were added to the dish were cooked, if I tasted them correctly, they were made using seasonings, which is an expensive thing these days. But this meat... how delicious it was, perfectly cooked, falling apart in the mouth and incredibly juicy...

Baaan! Brother! I want there is!!! Why are you writing this in the book? And you?

Killia went to cook us lunch, so I'll finish this part. I also want to add that I'm not such a meat lover and for me ramen, although quite tasty, in general doesn't stand out much against the background of baked goods and sweets. Here is the dango that can be found in Konoha literally in every district I liked more, and I was also able to find sweet sticks that crunch very nicely, they were sold in the "Hyakusin" shop, which is located in the residential area of ​​the eastern part of the settlement."

***

- Mr. Teuchi, thank you for the food, Naruko has to go there, Ban is free!

Having quickly finished her second portion of ramen, Naruko stood up and followed Kiliya, who had already left the room, after which she asked the question that immediately arose in her head.

- And how did you know that Ban had finished his business?

- Mmm, how can I explain this to you? We are connected, of course we can't communicate telepathically, but we can give conditional signals, and we sense each other's location.

- Sounds convenient and reliable, I wouldn't refuse a person who can find out that I'm in trouble in the blink of an eye.

- Yes, although I can say that this connection has saved me more than once I can't give us our lives, but I still pulled her out of several very unpleasant situations, for example, in our world Escanor didn't die because of his power, when we left he was still alive, although he had aged.

Meanwhile, while these two were talking, Ban was getting closer and closer, and he was able to go out to them to continue the conversation together in just 6 minutes.

- Brother, here you are, can you imagine this cutie player? I was able to persuade her to show us our statistics.

Ban only raised his eyebrows in surprise, after which he, like Kiliya, was overcome with anticipation, it is extremely interesting and curious to learn about your achievements and statistics that you have accumulated over your life, especially since he has not been involved with games and technology since his past life, and yet there, on earth, he played thousands of hours in cooperative games, and went through dozens of singles, by the way, he took his clothes half an order from memory, trying to make them look like Virgil's style, after all, this guy is incredibly stylish. At first I thought about ordering something in Dante's style, but after thinking about it I realized that this style doesn't suit him as much and likes Vergil's.

- Cool! And how will she show us, does she have the ability to project the system's screen to other people or something?

Having asked this question, Kilia and Ban turned to Naruko with a question in their eyes. Naruko herself simply reached into her bag on her belt and took out a notepad and pencil.

- I can't show the window, I'll just rewrite what I see on a piece of paper.

- Okay, then let's go find some deserted place where we can sit and talk!

- About 200 meters away, there's a park in that direction that rarely anyone comes to on weekdays, there are gazebos and a lot of tables.

A few minutes later, the three were sitting near a round table, Ban and Kilia were sitting and waiting for Naruko to finish rewriting. Having finished the first sheet, she put it down next to him, Ban had already started to reach out his hand, but Kilia interrupted him, slapping Ban's hand.

- Wait, let him finish first, it's inconvenient to read close to each other, and I'm not going to watch you satisfy your curiosity! I'll be offended!

Ban only had to wait a few more minutes, after which Naruko handed the sheet to Kilia's hand, and Ban himself took the sheet that was lying on the table.

First looking at their statuses and then exchanging sheets of paper, after reading the brother and sister looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces, after which the look was replaced by cunning and incredible complacency.

Naruto looked at their faces and did not understand what was happening, such a change in facial expressions lasted for about 15 seconds, from calm to a smile, from a smile to cunning, from cunning to complacency, from complacency to fun, and finally returning to joy with a smile.

- He he, so even the system can't determine the limit of our survivability? A dash instead of HP indicators, it's pretty funny to me, listen Naruko, can you give us some more statistics, I want to compare how strong we are compared to others?

Naruko nodded and began to write the statistics of 2 more people for comparison. Once she sees a person's statistics, it is saved in something like a gallery in the system, and Naruko can look at and check the statistics of anyone she has already seen at any time. While she is writing, Kiliya gave Ban a sheet with his statistics, after which both sheets disappeared in Ban's hand, covered in space distortions.
