Two silhouettes in long black robes with red clouds on them were walking in the desert.
"Are you sure your bounty target is here? You know, we have our Akatsuki assignments to do..."
"I'm sure since the information came from Shiki Ryuu tea-house."
"Hoo, if that's the case then it has to be true...though I really don't like how they seem to know everything...it's really a spooky group if you ask me..."
"Like you can call others spooky with you and your weird shit religion."
Around two and a half years, a new information broker emerged and rose to the sole powerhouse in their fields.
Their aggressive conquering of rival brokers was one of the main reasons for the unbelievable rapid growth.
Either they submitted to them and worked for them, or they would get destroyed.
And since information brokers were often considered shady and acting out of the law, no one intervened to help them.
With that, the unorganized and ununited small brokers soon found themselves being part of a big information trading network.
But their aggressive expansion method wasn't the sole reason for the rise into the undisputed position they have.
Uniting all those small brokers and developing a vast network meant that they could deliver almost any information you ask and that in a laughable short amount of time!
They called themselves Shiki Ryuu tea-house!
It was safe to say, that they revolutionized information-trading and made it as comfortable as possible.
Almost every town or village had a tea-house, where you can just go in and give a letter of what information you want.
If they have the information available in their tea-house branch, you get your information instantly.
If not, the letter will be sent via carrier-pigeons to their headquarters and then delivered back with the information you are looking for as soon as possible.
You can even leave and do something else, while the carrier-pigeons will find you and deliver the information you asked for.
There was even a saying: "Shiki Ryuu tea-house has all the information in the world! If you get your money sent back instead of the information, it just means you didn't pay enough!"
Even some Daimyos praised it and expressed their wishes on employing or buying the organization.
Of course, the Shinobi villages grew worried about the growing influence of the Shiki Ryuu tea-house.
But the extent of the influence was only known when for some reason Orochimaru tried to find trouble with them.
He attacked various branches, but the overall damage dealt was minuscule since most of the employers were ordinary civilians and non-shinobis, so replacing them was totally easy.
Furthermore, most employees didn't know the location of the headquarters and the pigeons behaved weirdly when someone tracked their flying.
In short, his attacks dealt almost no damage.
But how the Shiki Ryuu tea-house retaliated was a completely different matter.
The locations of various hideouts from Orochimaru were published.
And more importantly, all kinds of techniques, jutsus, and secrets from him were published as well.
Almost all his fighting techniques and trump cards were known to the whole world.
It was said that he spat blood for days out of anger.
But the more problematic thing for him was, that know all of the 5 great shinobi villages knew that he had plundered the dead bodies of various shinobis from them for his Edo Tensei.
Save to say, they weren't exactly happy how the dead bodies of their village's heroes were treated and so all published hideouts were completely raided.
With just publishing some information, the Shiki Ryuu tea-house managed to move all the 5 great shinobi villages!
After this incident, the 5 great shinobi villages recognized how threatening the influence of the Shiki Ryuu tea-house truly was.
But they couldn't move against them, since the Shiki Ryuu tea-house always showed their clear stance of neutrality and having a clear bottom-line of not selling any information which would threaten a whole country or village.
And more importantly, no one of them knew what kind of information about their village could get published if they decided to attack them.
None of the villages wanted to "sacrifice" themselves so that the other 4 villages would feel safer.
Of course, the was the other aspect of them buying information from them as well, which makes missions a lot easier, but that's something they wouldn't openly admit...
"You will burn in hell for calling my religion weird and shit when you die, you know?"
"Like I care. As long as I have money, even hell won't be a problem."
"There you go again about money..."
The two silhouettes continued to walk in this desert until they spotted a cave that seemed to be a hideout.
Sorry about the massive rant.
In regards to the quality of a fanfic, the three questions I like to ask are, is it a good quality read without having seen the source material, do they keep the original story’s essence, beyond just having the world and character names be the same, and wether they blended their own narrative and the original story to make a story better. A lot of fanfics that I’ve seen fail at the first part, most of them often don’t put much effort in regards to their writing, just thinking that it doesn’t matter the quality of their work, people will read as long as you slap a popular franchise onto it. Most other bad fanfics fall into the second part, in those novels the original characters feel like completely different people, massively degrading your enjoyment if you stop to think for a few seconds. If you’ve ever read Hokage Ryo, (another Naruto fanfic), you’ve seen this problem very clearly. A lot of people fail the third part, pushing their own story with no regards to the original. Very few fanfics do all of these, although there are a few and they are definitely the most enjoyable fanfic reads I’ve come across. Since we are talking about Naruto, Long Live The Hokage is one of the best fan-fiction I’ve ever seen. After that block of text, what’s my point? This novel does all of those pretty good. It’s not perfect by any means, has a fairly simple story, rough beginning, but looking beyond all that, it’s just a genuinely fun read. It’s not high art, but it’s not trying to be. It’s just a fun, (usually) lighthearted comedy with some Naruto to spice it up. CrusadeAgainstFurries, thanks for writing this.
That was certainly a long rant, but thanks for reading it.
Wow, you really put blocks of word there.
I guess you actually want to praise the Author so much, but why are you making word of building without any space or paragraph for reader to be able easily read your comments.
I Think your Writing without any idea already the best
If You can writing with Idea i think you can publish your own Novel
Anyway i Really Want to See TenTen Pov About Eiji Or Naruto POV About Duel With Sasuke
Sasuke X Naruto The Best !!!!!!
Naruto X Hinata is the best
TenTen was already hella pissed when he forgot about her and went to train his swordsmanship, I wonder if he informed her before he left the village or if he stayed in contact at all. Carrier pigeons are being used so there's no excuses!
I want more TenTen as well... she is getting side lined too much.
Thanks for the Chapter. I really excited to read part 2 when its here.
You could write some POV about the part 1 before starting the part 2?
Thx 4 the chap
Same on the fanfics, I only read two of them(including yours), because even if they have good writing, grammar, and/or characters, they almost always feel like a check list of wish-fulfillment, and never properly take the setting into consideration.
tl;dr you're doing great, theirs only a few spelling errors, and finally enjoy the holidays
It would be pretty funny if the bounty that Kakuzu and Hidan were after turns out to be Eiji.
Maybe Eiji can save someone this time now that he's finally derailed the plot, particularly Asuma.
I'm waiting for boku no Igor academy, it's will be funny if Igor work in villain league as bartender. And I start think shiki Ryu tea house kinda like uruhara store lol
Man, that was awesome. Still would like to see the information organization's rise to power from it's humble beginnings. Imagine Sasuke being an undercover tea shop clerk with rude behavior to his customers yet still get alot of fangirls. Sasuke also gets to be trained by our MC. You could easily make that for season 2, instead of time skipping the parts of absolute comedy gold. Thanks for writing this!
Nah. The two just steamrolled everyone. Not too interesting.
I think you should let Jirayia teach Naruto sage mode so that rhe power gap of him and Sauke isn't too wide but Sasuke will still be stronger for now because of his mangekyou sharingan for now atleast untill Naruto gains controll of the Nine tails chakra then they will be true equals. Eiji will probably need another power up too to be powerful enough to atleast hold one of them off or even win.
Really, going to see Killer Bee early would be a really good idea. He should also save the other Jinchuuriki from Atkatsuki, and bring them to Killer Bee as well.
A lot of the powerups Naruto and Sasuke get are just a matter of having the right information. Hell, Naruto should have even learned Wind Nature way earlier, but it was just never brought up.
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
A major time skip and mob mc became a mafia boss...
*imagine sasuke becoming his secretary*
Pffft!!
