Chapter 44: INAZ - 43
---
Remembering Shinji had previously mentioned mastering a higher level of art, Deidara had been coveting it for a long time.
"Not yet. You'll get it eventually," Shinji thought for a moment. The transaction volume recently hadn't been much, and the points were still insufficient to exchange for an Explosion Fruit for Deidara.
"Hehe, I'm going upstairs to continue my experiments," Seeing he couldn't get any benefits from Shinji, Deidara could only return to his room upstairs to continue his clay explosion experiments. After experimenting during this period, he had completely fallen in love with the indestructible nature of the All-Purpose Shop. For him, this was simply the most suitable residence. What? Ōnoki was looking for him? Sorry, I'm busy! Emm... the Hokage version of 'too happy to think of Iwa (Rock)'.
Ring ring ring~ The doorbell of the All-Purpose Shop rang. Shinji turned his head and saw a ninja wearing an ANBU mask appear before him.
"ANBU?" Shinji narrowed his eyes. What did an ANBU ninja want at his All-Purpose Shop?
"Are you Shinji?" The ANBU ninja came directly in front of Shinji. Although shorter than Shinji, his aura was quite strong.
"Yes, I am Shinji. What business does an ANBU ninja have with me?" Shinji didn't make any move, just looking at him.
"Lord Hokage requests your presence," the ANBU ninja said coldly.
"What are you taking Lord Shinji away for!?" Before Shinji could speak, Karin stepped directly between Shinji and the ANBU ninja, acting protectively like a mother hen.
"Are you obstructing official duties?!" The ANBU ninja saw Karin's action and reached out, gripping the sword on his back.
