.... it was still a couple days travel to the next village. They hadnt finished off the akatsuki members simply because ed was afraid of trouble, he didnt know if the white zetsu thing was any where near.

.... so to avoid trouble he left them be Ot really sucks being week thought ed, at most im high chunin level. Well ill just continue to train.

....

... Around a week later they arrived at a rather prospurouse village. Oh ninja gate guards hey thought edward, and from the looks of things it seems to be the hidden stone village. Hope there friendlier than the sand.

.... halt said the village guards. Please state your purpose. Hello my name is edward and this is my companion Rinea, we are traveling merchants.

.... do you have a travel pass or any paperwork with you said the guard. Umm i was unaware of a need for paperwork sir. We arnet affiliated with any village, so umm is there any way we can gain access to the village it was a rather long trip sir.

... hmm well lets see first id have to inspect your goods, then if approved youd have to fill out a request for entry. Then there will pobably be a higher tax since your an unexpected visitor.

... understood so can you inspect my goods now i would like to begin the process said ed. Very well weve already checked the bingo book you dont appear to be a wanted criminal......

... alright no issues with the goods, so just fill out this form and wait said the guard. Any idea how ling it will take sir said ed. Nope im just in charge of the entry forms and a low level chunin. Very well sir here is a gift. And ed handed a bag to the guard.

... Ok rinea lets head over there and set up camp. This will probably take a while. Also no ninjutsu training, not sure how they feel about wondering nin. Rinea nodded, she had enough trouble not having figured out who had attacked her before.

.... so after setting up camp ed decided it be best to atleast open up stall he figured hed be told if it wasnt allowed.

......

.... so bob the guy tried to bribe you heysaid guard num 2. Not really replied bob it was just a strange game he called it jenga, im going to take it home and let my little brother plwy with it.

.... unknown to them a strange girl was watching the whole situation. Whats he doing here did he follow me or was it just a coincidence.

.... .She then dissapeared and approached bob . Ahh what are you doin here monster im on my way to deliver some important papers said bob.

... she hated being called monster, so her power level flared and she threw a punch but missed on purpose. She new she wouldnt get in to much trouble for killing a nobody.

... whaat can i do for you. He replied fearfully. I want to know what that guy at the gate wanted. Bob was startled a bit but replied hes asked for a merchant pass. Ohh she replied guess he hadnt lied to me.

... oh do you know him little monster. Again she flared up again startling the poor stupod guy. Um sorry difnt mean offense he said quickly.

... should i suggest he be kidnapped for you he could be your new playth... bam he was sent flying. She then darted off red faced and embarrassed.

... slowly and painfully getting up he headed off to report on the new guest.

... boss said bob, an irritated look appeared on his face but when he saw the blood still gushing out of his nose he smiled a little, he didnt like bob.

... here is an application for entry on a buisness pass sir. Ok leave it on the desk, what happened to you he asked out of mock concern. Well sir i was assailted by that monster sir she seems to be to interested in this guy, he pointed at the pass applicarion.

.... oh thats interesting very well off you go but clean up before you head back to the gate cant be seeing guests that way now can we he smirked. But sor she assaulted me. And what if it he replied you should know to stay away from her by now, off you go. Bob left in a huff.

.... i really do need to check him out, if it was just coincidence that he met that monster then fine.... sending a message to the kage he asked for a thorough background check. Should take about twelve hours to check.

.... heres the report on him sir. Hes been seen in several villages sir not just the hidden villages, no notice of being a ninja, but his products are strange sir but they seem to sell well. Hes also not in the bingo book or a wanted criminal from somewhere.

.....But he doesnt seem to have a permanent home base sir, we could try to keep him here if that monster has takin a fancy to him though. But well not my decision. Anyway monitor them a few more hours if nothing suspicious validate the pass as nd charge 15 percent tax. Yes sir said the ninja and poof..

.... bob was in a huff. Hed been assaulted and criticized, that monster had to many privilages. Well atleast gate duty is easy. Hey bob said someone behind him, (it was havier the jonin fron his bosses office that did the report).

..... a what can i do for you sir said bob. Well weve investigated the merchant, he seems as he claims. Let him in inform him to behave, and there will be a 15 percent tax charged on sold goods. Yes sir and poof hes gone.

.... how long do i give him a pass for oh well ill just dill the form out for a week.

.... ed recieved a visit from bob at his stand. Hed been there about 14hrs waiting and truthfully was getting a little irritated. Ah bob good to see you said ed.

... I have your pass here, next time fill out a visitation request form kay. Your good for a week. Also when you leVe there will bs a 15 per tax on all sales. Dont try to cheat it you might be banned in the future if you do. Ok replied ed and thanks.

... He began packing his stuff and went through the gate. He decided the two should probably head near a park or something similar.

..... after about 20 minutes ed found a nice spot first they set up two small tents. Then the shelves ed brought to set up his products. He also set up a couple games to display.

.... so soon ed and ribea began playing the chess game while waiting for customers, she amwas much better than him but to sell products it was best to display how they were used.

.... it was still a cuuple hours before anyone came by. This time it was an old grandma. Hey sunny she said what ya doing.

..... oh my names ed and i run this stall with my friend rinea. Since some of the products i sell are a bit unusual i felt it best to display them. Oh thats pretty smart there boy. My name is old nina. She said.

.... nice to meet you ms nina replied ed. Oh a charmer hey if only i was 80 years younger she joked. So how do you play these things. Well this is chess its a bit involved so will start with the other ones. This is monopoly.... .

... And so finaly this is chess the basic rules are simple the queen moves in any direction ... . The actual difgiculty begins when you play said ed care for a game. Sure why not im retired and have plenty if time said nina.
