The Shopkeeper of Konoha

John Snow, Arya Stark and Hot Pie walked shoulder to shoulder when they stepped in the village. The Uchiha patrol went forward and talked with them. In addition to the information, they have been also been given the Japanese language in their head so they could converse though they stumbled upon some words.

John and Arya did most of the talking while Hot Pie stood there awkwardly for few minutes. After being shown the required documents they were free to enter the village. Arya soon saw Aoto and came almost running towards Aoto.

But before she could talk with Aoto, from the corner of the eye she saw the head Hokage Rock. The mountain that had the carvings of the Hokage faces. They were huge.

"Who are they?" Arya asked. Both John and Hot Pie were a little mesmerized. Though John had seen man made marvels like the Wall in their own world, it was something absolutely new for Hot Pie.

"They are the Hokages. The first being Hashirama Senju, then Tobirama Senju, the third one is the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the last being Minato Namikaze. They are the heads of the village with Hashirama being the first one to establish this village of Konoha." Aoto answered. This was heard by Hot Pie and John Snow too.

By that time many were looking at the trio with weird eyes because of their weird attire. Aoto could see their gazes and urged them to follow him to his home and get themselves new clothes.

The trio didn't think much when they entered the village but the more they saw around the streets the more they were shocked. At first it was the clean streets, then the dazzling shops, then came the small rise buildings and of course at the end electricity blew their minds.

The sun was slowly setting down so many shops had bulbs being lit. They had never seen those kinds of lamps before and the more they saw the more their eyes went wide. Arya wanted to go and have a closer look but Aoto stopped her and promised them to explain the things around at home.

After a few minutes of walking Aoto was back in his home, now with new guests. Aoto then proceeded to give a general explanation of the things around. The technology advancement, how the country worked and whole system of Hokage. The more they heard, the more they found it weird.

"Why don't they take over the countries? It's so easy for them." Arya couldn't understand this. Konoha was the military power of the fire nation and still not even bothered to take down the actual ruler of the Fire Nation.

"There is no reason for that. The military doesn't really mean that they have the intelligence to manage a nation. So it was better for them to manage a small village." Aoto explained.

"This is so different from our world. So, in the village the military head is not passed through like the kings and queens?"

"No, normally the advisors of the village and the daimyo vote for it when the the new Hokage is selected." Aoto explained again.

Hot Pie and others were a little dumbfounded after knowing the things around. They had never expected to come to a new world to begin with and now that they were here they found it unbelievable.

"Hot Pie can you start working for me from tomorrow?" Aoto came to the real reason of why Hot Pie was here. For Aoto, Arya and John were just extra mouth to feed and nothing more and he was earning quite a lot with the mad Honey. So it was fine.

Hot Pie nodded his head and Aoto later took him to the kitchen to explain how some things were made here. Thankfully, the bread making was still done via hands and not industrialized like his previous world so Hot Pie could easily understand the process and promised to get to work from tomorrow.

Of course, Aoto wouldn't be stingy and promised to pay him with the highest amount he could afford and Hot Pie who didn't have any idea of the currency situation in Konoha just accepted it without much thought.

Aoto was his summoner so in a way he trusted him. Meanwhile, Arya and John couldn't hold on to their curiosity and went around after Aoto brought them clothes. They were really happy with the new set of clothes because they were really good and was much better than their old and coarse ones.

When the brother sister duo came back it was already little late at night. They seemed excited and thrilled after seeing the wonders of mankind. The dazzling shops, the well mannered people and the maintained law really made them think that the place they previously lived was the worst.

This was a huge culture shock. Though they were provided the information of the normal culture they still found it fascinating. But roaming around they got hunger and Aoto cooked some food for them. It was totally different from the food they used to eat before and this too made them ask Aoto for more servings.

"This is so good. The food in Kings Landing doesn't even come close to what I am eating." Arya said as he gobbled up some rice. John too nodded his head while Hot Pie was busy stuffing himself with the food and concentrated on the taste.

"I am glad that you like it." Aoto smiled. A little bit proud of his food now.

"Aoto I have something to ask." John suddenly placed the rice bowl on the table and asked.

"I am sure you have many things to ask. So go on." Aoto replied.

"I want to know what happened to the village?" John asked.

"What do you mean?" Aoto was confused.

"I saw some buildings being destroyed in a straight line and were being rebuilt. What happened?"

"Oh that. Before I told you that the people here could take down dragons from your world right?" Aoto said. John and Arya nodded his head.

"That destruction was done by similar kind of force."
