Anbu are the super secret assassin spies and anti-spies of the Hokage. If they wanted me dead, I would be dead before ever seeing them. Well, they would make a fatal attack and I would be emergency hopped to the next hop. Even though I have succeeded in the system's mystery mission, I would get a failure penalty.

  The fact I am not waking up to a system failure screen means they want questions answered. I don't think they are going to like the answers, but I’ll say what I can. The system tries to prevent people finding out I'm not from around here, but technically I won't get any penalties from letting a few people know.

  The store was empty except for the four of us. I think. There could be more Anbu stealthed in the corners, but I don't think there are. I leaned against the sales counter, hands open and in front of me in surrender.

  “Alright, I’ll tell you everything you want to know, but this information should be for the Hokage’s ears only. Not Danzo. Root should never know about this.”

  The ninja shuffled a bit, the two Anbu did a few hand signs and the air pressure of the room snapped.

  “Ok, spy, the room is sealed. Talk.” The red panda anbu mask said.

  “First things first, you should know that I am not a ninja.”

  “He's telling the truth or he has insane chakra control.” Green bear Anbu mask said.

  “Second. I am not from any ninja countries nor do I represent any governments or hostile organizations.”

  “Impossible, you have knowledge that only high level spies should know. You spoke of Danzo, and of something called root.” Stuffed animal sword ninja girl said. Thats a mouthful.

  “Sorry, I can't keep calling you Stuffed animal sword ninja girl. Can I have your name?”

  “Might as well, we still have plans to bake pastries later assuming we don't have to kill you. Or assuming Danzo doesn't burst in here and stab you for talking shit about him. My name is Fujimoto Ren. You should respond in kind, Egg man.” She said as her sword finally lowered from my face, it was now pointing at my groin. I will try to believe that's not on purpose. I may pop into the next hop fully healed, but it will still hurt.

  “It will be difficult to tell you my name, because I don't have one anymore. I lost it in a stupid bet with a Pooka. You can keep calling me Egg man if you wish. That was a nice memory.”

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  “What is a Pooka? How can you lose your name.” The Green Bear asked.

  “A Pooka is a magical creature like the ones some ninja can summon, what was his name the perverted sensei guy, he partnered with Tsunade and Orochimoru, Jiraya. Yeah Jiraya can summon frogs, Orochimoru snakes, and the Pooka can summon …me.”

  “How do you speak of these things? You spill knowledge like water dripping from treetops. You know secrets beyond what even master spies should know.”

  “Oh that. I have a limited amount of foreknowledge of this world. Some big events and major players I have seen visions of how they will happen.”

  “Lies?” Ren asked her Anbu friends.

  “ His chakra isn't fluctuating at all. He believes it.” Green Bear responded.

  “So you entered into a magical binding contract and thats why you cant give your name” said Ren.

  “More like I entered into a magical contract, and forgot my name. It’s scrubbed from my memory only to return after I have completed all the tasks the Pooka asks of me.” Why was I saying all this out loud? perhaps there was some ninja zone of truth spell thing going on.

  “What was your task here?” Red Panda asked. The voice was distinctly female, but my batting average for pronouns this trip was pretty poor.

  “Believe it or not, I received a message letting me know my task was complete after I delivered some berries.” Shut up me. Stop saying words.

  “Oh that mysterious medicinal crop I've been hearing about. You brought it here.” Ren said. She looked at her two Anbu friends and then lowered her sword further. “ I need you to state that you have absolutely no ill intentions or harm planned for Konoha or its people.”

  “I have absolutely no ill intentions or harm planned for Konoha or its people except for Danzo who I will 100% kick in the balls if I ever get the chance.” FUUUUUUUUUUUUU. If any of these guys are root, I've just bought a one way ticket to temporarily deadsville.

  “ He is still under compulsion of Truth” Said Green Bear

  “Why do you hate Danzo so much?” Said Ren.

  'System anything you can do?'

  [mental status effect detected. purchase resistance for 5 thousand system points?]

  'yes, dammnit.'

  [mental status effect resisted]

  "he's resisting"

  I got a sharp slap in the face from the red panda.

  "Talk, Its the only way we can protect you!" Panda yelled.

  “I can tell you, but this is the super secret stuff that no one but the Hokage should know. I really don't want to tell him, because they are such good friends. If you put me in front of him, and he asks, I'll get into specifics. Otherwise you will just have to be…”

  I didn't finish the sentence because there was a loud thump and the world went all black for a while.
