'Universal Repair Kit? What's this?'
Looking at this unfamiliar item, Yuto was puzzled.
[Universal Repair Kit: Can repair or restore items to a certain extent. Allows text editing, can be undone after use, and the item will disappear after undoing. Usage count: 0/1]
Before reading the description, Yuto had some guesses in mind.
But after reading it, he was even more confused.
'Wait... what exactly is this thing?'
'Can choose to repair or restore? To a certain extent?'
'In other words, within its capabilities.'
'Can be used once, and can also be undone after use?'
After some thought, Yuto roughly understood the item's function, but he lacked practical experience with it.
"Never mind, there's no use for it right now."
"Setting this item aside, the Chakra Condensate is pretty good. The rest of the white and green-quality items can be used to fill the in-game Points Mall. Not bad..."
After saying this, Yuto glanced at the time.
'It's still early, so why not...'
---
"Yo, good morning, Manager."
Yuto looked up and saw Kakashi standing at the door.
"Morning, Kakashi."
Although it was still early, compared to Kakashi's usual timing, he had arrived quite late this time.
But this wasn't Kakashi's fault.
Yuto knew that Kakashi had been called away by Elephant earlier.
Speaking of which, Elephant was still in the shop, coaching Naruto on how to play the game.
Yuto shook his head with a wry smile.
'Given the current progress, things were going pretty well.'
'By the time the Konoha Crush happens, my player base would likely explode.'
'When that time comes...'
"Manager, I'd like to buy thirty phones..."
Kakashi was visibly nervous. He wasn't sure if buying so many at once was too much.
Originally, the number was supposed to be fifty, including the Anbu's members who weren't on missions and some of the Hokage's trusted Ninjas in the village.
In reality, the number exceeded fifty.
But Kakashi was worried that buying so many at once might make Yuto refuse.
After all, Yuto's 'scientific ninja tools' didn't seem to be in abundant supply.
Yuto had originally planned to greet Kakashi and then head upstairs, leaving the first floor to Zabuza and Haku.
However…
"How... how many? Thirty?! Really? Are you sure?"
Yuto's surprise and excitement were almost overflowing from his words.
Realizing his own overreaction, Yuto glanced at Kakashi, who was frozen in place.
He cleared his throat and said, "Cough... I mean, why do you need so many at once?"
Kakashi finally snapped out of it. After all, Yuto's response now matched his expectations.
"Oh, according to Hokage-sama's orders, he wants to equip the Anbu with some for... daily training."
Although Kakashi was a seasoned Ninja and had prepared his words in advance, he still felt nervous when actually saying them.
In fact, in Kakashi's heart, what he was more worried about was, 'What if Manager found out that I was lying?'
Yuto drew out his tone, "Oh~ I see."
In reality, he had already noticed Kakashi's unease.
But... if he could sell them, of course he would!
'100,000 ryo per phone, ten phones for 1,000,000, thirty phones for 3,000,000!'
'That's three hundred pulls?!'
'Ah, damn... this cursed gacha system is really ruining lives!'
'It should be an increase of 30,000 resource quota.'
'With these resources... I could quickly produce the next two volumes with the system's help!'
'I could even create a few more Ninjas along the way.'
Yuto had initially been worried about the production of the next few S-Rank Ninjas. But now, it seemed the resources were more than enough!
"Alright, Haku, come help me out. Count out thirty phones for Kakashi."
Haku, who had been trained for tasks like this over the past few days, quickly counted out thirty phones and handed them over.
He even kindly asked if they needed help delivering them.
'Deliver them... to the Hokage's Office?'
Kakashi thought about it.
Although he had grown closer to Zabuza and Haku these past few days, they weren't close enough to ignore the fact that they were Ninjas from Kirigakure.
No matter what, Haku and Zabuza were still Ninjas from Kirigakure.
Letting them into the Hokage's Office... while he wasn't worried about leaks, it still felt a bit inappropriate.
Kakashi refused without a second thought.
Then, he looked with a dark expression at the Anbu Ninja in the corner, Elephant, who was enthusiastically giving advice.
"Hey... I mean, E, aren't you still on a mission?!"
If Elephant hadn't been wearing his Anbu mask, Kakashi would have seen his somewhat clueless expression.
'Mission?'
Elephant was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
He quickly laughed, "Hey Kakashi, don't be so serious... By the way, what are you doing with so many phones?"
Kakashi was even more speechless. This guy didn't act like a senior at all.
During the Third Ninja World War, Elephant had been a Ninja who led from the front and had a high mission completion rate.
Although Kakashi had only seen him a few times back then, he had left a deep impression.
Elephant was known as a skilled analytical Ninja, aside from occasionally acting foolish.
However, after realizing what Kakashi meant, Elephant leaned in and whispered, "Is this Hokage-sama's idea?"
Kakashi nodded.
Elephant continued, "Could it be that Hokage-sama also notice the items in the Points Mall?"
Kakashi was surprised, but after some thought, it made sense. That was the most reasonable explanation.
It couldn't really be for the lame excuse of helping the Anbu with daily training.
Kakashi nodded again.
Elephant grinned and immediately took half of the phones, rushing toward the Hokage Building.
"Hey! Be careful not to drop... them."
Kakashi called out a reminder, but seeing Elephant's figure already fading into the distance, he silently followed behind.
After seeing them off, the shop was left with only Naruto as a customer.
But judging by his focused expression, he probably didn't care how many people were in the shop.
Meanwhile, Yuto looked at the three million ryo deposited into his system account and felt a wave of joy.
He had thought he would have to wait until the third... no, the fourth volume was finished before he could earn such a large sum.
'I didn't expect that...it seems that asking Kakashi for help is really a good idea.'
'By the way... it was time to restock some phones.'

After arriving at the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen distributed the phones to everyone.
Most of them were Anbu's members, but a few were not Anbu, instead being Jonin Instructors like Kakashi.
