I'm just an internet cafe owner

On the screen, Minato Namikaze's battle had reached a stalemate, and his body was emitting a golden light. However, at the same time, everyone present felt that Minato Namikaze's life force in the game was decreasing.

However, the ominous demon on the screen seized its opportunity, leaping up and brandishing a holy golden hammer. Everyone present was certain that this was the decisive blow. Such a wide area of ​​effect meant that even rolling wouldn't allow it to be dodged.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Flying Thunder God's Spiral Grenade

"Flying Thunder God!"

Minato Namikaze appeared behind the Demon King of Omens, but the Demon King of Omens suddenly turned around, and the hammer was once again aimed at his head.

In several battles, the evil spirits and demons had taken a chance and held back. Just as he was about to hold back again this time, he sensed something was wrong.

A grenade appeared in mid-air, and at the same time, Minato Namikaze, holding a Rasengan, followed up once again.

"This is... the second stage!"

As the grenade detonated, the Rasengan unleashed its full power upon the evil spirit.

The Explosive Rasengan is a new type of grenade technology he developed by combining the range and power of grenades with the principles of the Rasengan.

By concentrating the explosive power of the Rasengan into a single point on the grenade, and then using the Flying Thunder God Technique again, this power is delivered into the enemy's body.

Minato Namikaze won!

At this moment, he did not feel relaxed, but rather endlessly exhausted. At the same time, Minato Namikaze developed a sense of kinship with the evil spirit, Yokai. Despite being an enemy, Yokai always let him go at the last moment, and even pointed out his flaws with words, like a teacher.

"Thank you, Ominous Teacher..."

The ominous spirits and demons are worthy of his address as teacher.

"Oh no? Are they closing?"

He noticed the system notification, but when he was about to save his game, he realized he was late. It was already 8:03.

"What are you standing there for? Save your game and log off. If you deliberately delay, I'll cancel your internet access!"

These words put Minato Namikaze at ease, and he quickly saved his game and logged off.

Today's battle was incredibly beneficial for him, especially the final, self-destructive fighting style. It was a move he had tested hundreds of times before confirming its success, and he had been severely injured by the explosions several times during those experiments.

If it weren't for the game, unless he were resurrected through Edo Tensei, he would never have been able to develop this technique of combining ninjutsu with firearms. But he admitted, this move was really effective.

At the same time, grenades, which can be activated without any chakra, are truly a unique weapon for ambushing people on the battlefield.

"Uncle! That's so cool! Can I learn that move?"

"This move? Sorry..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yuan started to shoo him away.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm off work. If I work one more minute overtime, I'll have to close down for the whole day tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, we're leaving now."

"Gotta go!"

Everyone left.

Natsuki Subaru is starting his new life in another world, while Fujimaru Kaori is preparing to continue escaping Jeanne Alter's capture and, if possible, farm more materials to sell.

Nyaruko had no particular ideas and decided to go back and continue being lazy, coming online tomorrow. Tina, on the other hand, was holding a takoyaki, planning to finish the last one before going back.

Only Minato Namikaze sat there, reminiscing about the day's battle.

When playing games, he can distinguish between the game and reality. But thinking of his teacher's teachings, the battles of the day, and the pain of a weapon piercing his chest...

The realism of the game had kept his body in a state of excitement, and now that it was over, the sudden calm felt strange. He even felt like pulling out a grenade and firing a couple of shots.

Flying Thunder God + shotgun + grenade, this kind of thing is really addictive once you've used it.

In particular, the backpack the game gives him allows him to pull out weapons anytime, anywhere. It's even possible for him to simultaneously wield a grenade in his left hand, a shotgun in his right, and a grenade in his mouth.

"Aren't you leaving yet? You really think I'm just trying to scare you?"

Liu Yuan sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Still not feeling better?"

He understood this all too well. When he first entered Real Mode, even with the system's assistance, he almost mistook reality for virtual reality. Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, fought inside for a whole day and was then educated by Evil Spirits for another day. It was normal for such a realistic feeling to cause misunderstandings.

"Some of this truth is terrifying to me..."

What terrified him wasn't the gaming experience, but this rapid growth. In just one day, he clearly felt his control over chakra improve. And in that single day, his Flying Thunder God technique underwent a qualitative leap.

He dared not imagine how much his strength would increase if he were to defeat the final god of the border region one day through ninjutsu.

The First Generation? Or perhaps the legendary Sage of Six Paths? Even if it took him several years to complete the game, this kind of improvement is terrifying enough. If the children of Konoha were brought here, Konoha would definitely become the strongest ninja village.

"Hey, is this important?"

Did you have fun playing the game?

"happy."

"That settles it. Go back and get some rest with your wife. Oh! If your wife's interested, remember to bring her along too. Even if we can't fight, we still have our own world, right?"

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up. Indeed, he had completely forgotten about bringing Kushina along.

He initially came here to test the waters, but upon discovering its amazing features, he developed a slightly selfish motive. There were very few machines here, and he felt the owner was intentionally limiting the number of people; bringing his own people would certainly be inappropriate.

Kushina is pregnant, but if it's just experiencing Minecraft, or even just the game version, it should be fine. Otherwise, she'd get quite bored staying home all day, so it's better for her to relax from time to time.

With that thought in mind, Minato Namikaze got up and left.

But as soon as he got home, before he could even speak, Kushina frowned slightly, sat down beside him, leaned on his shoulder, and asked, "You look like you've just been through a war..."

"Phew, that's true. Kushina..."

"Yes, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"I have something to tell you, so don't be afraid."

"I am your wife, I am not afraid."

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath: "I can travel to another world."

"puff!"

"Hey, you promised you wouldn't laugh."

"Sorry, that was too funny, I couldn't help it."

"I'm not lying to you, I really am not lying to you. I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Kushina reached out and touched Minato Namikaze's forehead. His forehead wasn't hot, so why was he spouting such nonsense? If Minato had been away on a mission these past few days, she would have believed her.

These days, all he does is go to get off work and come home. The furthest he goes is patrolling near Konoha, and then he tells her that he can travel to another world.

She always felt that this was just a little joke her husband was playing on her.

"If you don't believe me, I'll take you there in a bit."

Minato Namikaze didn't explain much, he just waited twelve hours, but when he received the opening notice again, he reached out and grabbed Kushina.

When Kushina found herself suddenly in the room, her previously calm expression turned to shock.

Not only was she shocked, but Liu Yuan, who had just opened his business that morning, was also shocked.

What did he see? A moving treasure trove? No, a moving material box?

The system told him that there was a life form inside Kushina, and plucking a few of its feathers could cover a day's internet bill. If he was ruthless enough to chop off a claw or sell the whole thing to the system, it wouldn't be impossible to cover Kushina's internet bill for life, plus all her snacks and desserts.

The system also said that if Liu Yuan managed to trick this thing into coming over, the system would help unlock permissions for five games, open ten computers, and even help bring in ten more customers.

In that instant, Liu Yuan's expression towards Kushina changed from that of someone looking at a guest to that of someone looking at a 'shareholder'.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Exploiting the Nine-Tailed Fox

Kushina stared in astonishment at the room's layout. She was certain that no other room in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, or even the entire ninja village, possessed such a luxurious space. Especially the exquisitely crafted machine in the very center of the room, clearly incredibly valuable, was something no other village or organization in the Hidden Leaf Village, or even the entire ninja world, could produce.

"Yo, Minato, you've brought your wife."

"Yeah, she gets bored at home all by herself, so I brought her over to play too."

"Very well, but Minato, can we talk about something?"

"?"

At that moment, Minato Namikaze had a bad feeling.

Liu Yuan then looked at Kushina and asked with a somewhat happy tone, "Your wife has a particularly powerful creature sealed inside her, right? Do you want to sell her to me? If you're willing to sell, your internet fees will be completely free starting today!"

Minato Namikaze became alert. He shook his head and was about to leave with Kushina.

Liu Yuan stopped him: "Don't be so wary. Your wife's power is indeed very strong, but to me she's just an item that can be traded. We're a legitimate store. We have a joint guarantee and won't do anything that forces you to buy or sell. If you don't want to sell the whole thing, you can sell it in parts. That guy has so much energy, if all else fails, you can just take a few feathers and use them."

The Nine-Tails is a life form entirely composed of chakra. According to the system's assessment, even a small hair plucked from this creature would be usable.

Before Minato Namikaze could speak, Fujimaru Kaori, who had just entered, looked surprised: "What? You guys buy fur too?"

“We’ll take anything the system deems valuable. And as for Minato, I can assure you, even if we pluck your hair, it won’t affect your wife, your child, or that big thing inside her. But let me remind you, she needs to pay two cents to go online, not because of the baby in her belly, but because of that big thing inside her.”

Minato Namikaze was about to speak when Kushina stopped him.

"Boss, you said I could pay with some of the pelts from the Nine-Tailed Fox inside me, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, is it possible to make payment without damaging its power?"

"Of course, you have to trust us. How much do you want to top up?"

"Then how many Nine-Tails can be restored naturally?"

Kushina was also unsure. In all her years as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, she had never experienced trading with the Nine-Tails' power. Moreover, could this power really be traded?

Liu Yuan fiddled with the cashier's buttons for a while, and when the card reader lit up, he gestured for it to proceed.

Without hesitation, Xin Nai placed her hand on it. She felt nothing at all, but instead, a lot of power was drained from the Nine-Tails within her.

With the system in place, all customer needs will be met. Extracting the Nine-Tails will restore its power without disturbing its normal hibernation – perfect.

Liu Yuan smiled at the woman in front of him: "This customer, your online time is 100 hours. Your life force will recover in three days, at which time you can continue to trade. Thank you for your trust in us. Please rest assured that as long as you are a customer of our store, I will protect your and your child's safety and protect your property from any loss."

Upon hearing this, Kisara, who was pouring water nearby, couldn't help but retort, "Is it to protect her property? It's to protect your property, isn't it? The boss is so tough."

She had just gotten up to get a drink of water when she saw Liu Yuan standing in front of her, looking down at her.

"Dear Miss Geng, what were you just saying?"
