The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

However, Murphy just looked at him meaningfully.

"Could it really be true?"

Sakurai Keikazu's expression completely collapsed.

Murphy waved, signaling Sakurai Keikaku to come closer.

Sakurai Keikazu didn't know what he was going to do, but he still obediently stepped forward.

Murphy extended a finger and gently touched Sakurai Keikazu's forehead.

"I see, so that's how it is!"

Murphy nodded repeatedly, as if he had seen something.

"Interesting?" Even though it sounded like a compliment, Sakurai Kagekazu felt uneasy.

Although it was their first meeting, he could sense that the alien shopkeeper's way of thinking was very different from that of Earthlings. What he found interesting might not be a good thing for ordinary people.

"What did you do?" Sakurai Keikazu hurriedly asked.

"I merely read through your memories."

"My memory, can that even be done? But I've never witnessed any supernatural events before!"

Sakurai Keikazu felt that Murphy's words were hard to understand.

Murphy had no intention of explaining.

Sakurai Keikazu is not an alien; there are many things you wouldn't understand even if you explained them to him.

"Demons, Kamen Rider, God of Pleasure, DGP... This is quite an interesting world."

Murphy chuckled.

No wonder he thought Sakurai Keikazu looked familiar; he's the God of War from "Kamen Rider Goku"! My apologies for not recognizing him.

To be honest, he doesn't remember much about Kamen Rider. Apart from the fact that enemies and allies share a common origin and some of the belt's design, he's almost completely forgotten it. You could say he remembers more useless references than the plot.

But now that he has read through Sakurai Kagekazu's memories, he has actually recovered some of his memories.

"Tsk!"

Even with Murphy's current worldview, looking back, he feels that the characters in "Fox Spirit Matchmaker" are all somewhat abstract.

These people aren't good enough to be good, and not bad enough to be bad. And when they finally find one with relatively pure intentions, their intelligence seems a bit lacking…

Murphy glanced at Sakurai Kagekazu again, and couldn't help but laugh at his blank expression. He was now a little curious about who was easier to fool, this guy or Pigmon.

Before he transmigrated, he would only get angry at such terrible plots. Now that he's actually transmigrated, his feelings are similar to those of the viewers on DGP: I'd like to see what kind of amazing things these guys can come up with!

"Manager, what exactly did you see?"

Sakurai Keikazu transforms into the King of Hasty.

"Some things, you won't understand even if you hear about them, unless you've seen them with your own eyes."

Murphy shrugged: "Even if I said your world is actually a larger version of 'The Truman Show,' you probably still wouldn't understand."

Let's set aside the differences between artistic works from different times and spaces. Even if this movie existed in Sakurai Kagekazu's world, he might not have seen it. And even if he had, he might not have grasped its deeper meaning.

As expected, Sakurai Keikazu revealed the clear yet foolish look characteristic of college students.

He's usually busy with his studies or volunteering, so he rarely has the time or inclination to watch movies. But now he's decided that as soon as he gets back, he absolutely must watch "The Truman Show" to see what kind of movie it is.

"Speaking of which, you actually came straight from the street to the bar. Well then, since you can't think of what to wish for right now, I'll give you a little gift!" Murphy came up with a good idea.

"A small gift?"

"Come with me."

Murphy led Sakurai Keikaku out of the kitchen and over to Jiraiya and Naruto.

"Ah, Uncle Shopkeeper!" Naruto happily raised his hand to greet Murphy.

"Hey, you look great! How have you been lately?"

Naruto grinned: "I recently learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and I'm currently learning the Rasengan, the ultimate technique my father invented, from the Perverted Sage!"

Since changing his opinion of Naruto, Kurama has restrained himself and no longer interferes with Naruto's chakra flow.

Without Kurama's influence, Naruto's progress in learning ninjutsu was rapid. This made Kakashi increasingly doubt whether he truly lacked the ability to be a teacher.

Fortunately, he later saw the subsequent chapters of the manga at a bar and realized that he had at least taught Sasuke quite a bit.

However, when he saw that Sasuke had gone to Orochimaru for revenge, he couldn't help but feel depressed again.

Compared to the Three Ninja, am I really that inferior?

But when he thought about how he was so frightened by Orochimaru's murderous aura during the Chunin Exams that he couldn't move, Kakashi blushed again.

He had indeed wasted too much time since his teacher and Kushina sacrificed themselves. So, he quietly reduced the time he spent watching Icha Icha Paradise and started training hard again.

Matt Kee noticed this change in him immediately.

Seeing his trusted friend and nemesis rekindle their passion, Matt Kai was incredibly moved. For several days in a row, he would cry out that this was youth, while running hundreds of laps around the village.

In no time, the villagers' complaint letters flew to the Hokage Building like snowflakes.

If the third generation hadn't been busy reforming the senior management recently, they probably would have called Kai into their office for a reprimand long ago.

"I told you not to call me the Perverted Sage!" Jiraiya smacked Naruto on the head. "I am the white-haired boy of Mount Myōboku, the Toad Sage!"

Naruto covered his head, indignant: "The Perverted Sage is already old, he's no longer a virgin! Besides, you're clearly a pervert yourself!"

Jiraiya couldn't do anything with him. That kid was incredibly mischievous. Even after reading the Naruto manga and becoming a little more sensible, he was still just as disrespectful.

However… Jiraiya's gaze softened a little. He still remembered the look in Naruto's eyes when he first saw him—a look that was a mixture of excitement, admiration, and worry.

Although he's mischievous, Naruto is indeed a good kid!

"By the way, shopkeeper, when will Kurama be freed?" Naruto asked on Kurama's behalf.

Jiraiya nodded to himself. Although he was still very immature, this kid was indeed worthy of being the protagonist of the manga, the savior he had been searching for for most of his life! This magnanimity and kindness were his most precious treasures.

Murphy calculated the time: "I'm currently developing a device that can restore magical girls to human form. It should be finished in about two days. Next, I need to analyze the demons and the greatsword. I can start unsealing the little monsters in about a week."

“My name is Nine Lama…” Nine Lama said weakly.

It doubted that it might never hear Murphy call its name again in its lifetime.

"Great! Kurama, you'll be free in just one more week!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping for joy. A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Nine Lama immediately forgot his frustration at not being able to be remembered.

The store manager is incredibly busy; of course, he doesn't have time to remember the name of a little monster like himself! It's good that he can't remember; the store manager really shouldn't waste his precious energy on such trivial matters!

……

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend readers who haven't read it before to watch Extreme Fox. Most of the Knights series in recent years have been a mess. Even now, when I read ZZZ, I'm still on a "live for the moment" attitude, completely wary.

Chapter 82 The Shopkeeper's Preaching

They said they'd start lifting restrictions in a week, so your celebrations are a bit too early...

Murphy was speechless.

However, he didn't explain. Releasing a small monster wouldn't take him much time.

"We can celebrate later!" Murphy stopped Naruto. "Give me some chakra now!"

"Huh?" Naruto scratched his head: "Can chakra be shared with other people?"

"Let me do it." Jiraiya offered Murphy his hand.

He didn't even ask why.

Murphy nodded in satisfaction. This young man is quite perceptive!

Since you're so sensible, I, Manager Murphy, will protect your life from now on!

Because he didn't know how much chakra Murphy needed, Jiraiya extracted a large amount of chakra in one go.

Is this enough?

Jiraiya extended his right hand. Because he had gathered a large amount of chakra in his hand in one breath, it even shimmered with a faint light.

"enough."

Murphy extended an index finger and gently tapped Jiraiya's right hand.

In an instant, Jiraiya's chakra was transferred over.

"Hoo!" Jiraiya exhaled a long breath, his face turning much paler.

Chakra is a mixture of spiritual and physical energy. He created too much chakra at once, and now he looks like he has kidney deficiency.

Murphy first extended his left hand and used his superpowers to restore Jiraiya's strength, then said to Jamila, who was waiting, "Go get a bottle of the best sake, and go to the kitchen to get a plate of wasabi-flavored Twin-Tailed Monster and a plate of salted Garbaton!"

Since Jiraiya is so sensible, Murphy can't be stingy!

Homura Akemi, waiting for customers at the door, sighed quietly. Even though she was just a middle school student who had reincarnated countless times, she could see it now. Her boss was completely incapable of running a business!

"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to exchange just a little chakra for so much delicious food. What a bargain!"

Jiraiya laughed heartily. Although he was still a little mentally exhausted, his physical strength had fully recovered.

"Then, manager, how about I pay with chakra every time I come here from now on?"

Jiraiya was half joking, half serious. The prices at the tavern weren't low, and if they could pay with chakra, they could save some of the village's precious funds. Lately, the Third Hokage was so short of money that he was almost considering starting the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Murphy flatly refused: "I now fully understand the nature of chakra! I no longer need chakra."

Jiraiya smiled, not really believing it.

These ninjas have used chakra for thousands of years, yet they still dare not claim to have a complete understanding of it. No matter how strong Murphy is, how could he possibly unravel the mysteries of chakra in an instant?

However, Jiraiya had high emotional intelligence, so he didn't show it on his face, but just sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

What he didn't know was that Murphy wouldn't lie about academic matters.

The moment Murphy gained access to the chakra, he also acquired Jiraiya's memories.

Murphy immediately realized that chakra, besides being a weapon for combat, is also a tool for connecting people's spirits and helping them understand each other.

Essentially, chakra is just the life energy that everyone possesses. It's simply been transformed to make it easier to use.

More importantly, Murphy had read the Naruto manga!

"Not bad!"

Murphy commented casually.

He didn't think much of a ninja's strength, but the potential of the chakra system was quite high.

But Murphy had no intention of further studying chakra.

Murphy can do almost anything a ninja can do with ninjutsu, either through his superpowers or inventions, and often do it even better. For him, it's more worthwhile to create more inventions than to spend time exploring the limits of chakra.

His demand for chakra was mainly for Sakurai Kagekazu.

"Jinghe, come here!"

Wait, did I just tell the store manager my name? Could it be that mind-reading knows that too?

Jinghe stepped forward, puzzled.

Murphy reached out and poked Sakurai Keikazu's forehead.

This action made both Jiraiya and Naruto cringe.

The manga Gintoki found had already reached the Shippuden series, and both of them already knew the truth about Itachi Uchiha's massacre of the Uchiha clan. So seeing this scene, which felt so familiar, evoked mixed feelings in them.

'The shop manager definitely did it on purpose!' Nine-Lama dared not say it aloud, but he was very certain in his heart.

Along with Naruto, it frequented the tavern more often than the two full-time employees, Jamila and Homura Akemi, and even rivaled Gintoki, who was a part-timer. Therefore, it knew Murphy better than the other guests.

This store manager is definitely a wicked and mischievous person!

The instant Murphy's finger touched him, it felt as if an entire universe exploded within Sakurai Keikazu's brain.

Chakra surged into his body, but Murphy had already edited it, leaving only pure knowledge and memories flowing into his mind.

Jiraiya and Naruto stared intently at Sakurai Kagekazu.

"Why is this older brother just standing there motionless, lost in thought?" Naruto wondered.

"I'm afraid the shopkeeper transferred his chakra to him," Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
