Economic Crisis! Discussing Compensation
Tsuchikage Office.
Kurotsuchi entered with the latest intelligence and said to Ōnoki, who was sitting at the desk, "Grandpa, according to a report from a spy in Konoha, the culprit behind the disappearance of the Kinrin Mountains is none other than the genius Ninja, Shinki."
Upon hearing this, Ōnoki flew into a rage.
"Hurrah!"
"It's that kid again!"
"He Kumogakure and destroyed Kumogakure Amegakure before, but this time he actually dared to start a disturbance in our Land of Earth!"
"They're really disregarding our Iwagakure!"
(╯‵□′)╯┻━┻"
"Spread the word! Get Tsunade and Shinki from Konoha to come to Iwagakure for negotiations!"
"Otherwise, I'll extort them to death!! ヽ('⌒´メ)ノ"
Kurotsuchi hesitated for a moment. "Grandpa, you know that Shinki is very powerful, we..."
Ōnoki said confidently, "What? Just because he's strong, we're afraid of him?!"
"I refuse to believe he can prevail over justice and morality!"
Previously, as the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki would never have said such a thing.
Because, compared to the ordinary people of the Shinobi World, the Five Kage represent the highest level of "justice and justice."
However, this time he was facing someone with extraordinary strength who defied the norms of the Shinobi World, so he could only resort to this rhetoric to intimidate them...
Konoha.
Shinki knew he had made a huge mistake, so he went to the Hokage's Office immediately.
At this moment, a group of high-ranking officials were gathered around the Hokage's Office, including Jonin such as Kakashi and Might Guy...
Tsunade was furious the moment she saw Shinki's striking red hair. "You! You actually dared to come back?!"
"What did I say to you before you left?! ╰_╯"
"I told you to go to the Land of Wind to conduct the experiment, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened—the entire Kinrin Mountains is gone! Do you know how much money we're going to have to pay in compensation?! (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻"
Naruto was standing next to Shinki, said, "Tsunade, considering the extent of this explosion, even if it happened within the Land of Wind, the compensation will be substantial."
"After all, the Land of Wind has many rare mineral deposits... (◔◡◔)"
Tsunade: "Did I tell you to speak?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ) "
The Land of Wind, Sunagakure, the Kazekage's Office.
Achoo!
Gaara was grading documents, sneezed.
Kankuro, who was attending to him, asked, "What's wrong? Have you been neglecting your rest lately and caught a cold?"
Gaara his hand. "It's nothing, I just had a feeling that the Land of Wind has escaped a great calamity..."
Kankuro immediately laughed, "Of course, you've heard about what happened at the Kinrin Mountains in the Land of Earth, haven't you?"
"It is said that the Shinki tested a Ninjutsu on that mountain."
"Luckily, he was testing it within the Land of Earth. If he had come to our Land of Wind, we would be the ones in a real bind."
As he continued, Kankuro's expression suddenly froze.
"Wait a minute! Our Land of Wind's vast desert is undoubtedly the perfect place to test Ninjutsu!"
"Could it be that that guy originally planned to test it in the Land of Wind?! =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)"
Gaara nodded, smiled knowingly, and said, "Probably."
The Hokage's Office.
The specifics of compensation were still being discussed in the Office.
Tsunade spoke first, "The village has limited savings. Guess how much money the Land of Earth asked us for this time..."
Five hundred billion!
Tsunade exaggeratedly held up five fingers.
This was the first time Shinki had ever seen his master so agitated.
Of course, he was also taken aback when he heard this astronomical figure!
Five hundred billion! You couldn't even steal that much money!!
He's been diligently completing bounty missions for so long, and he's only managed to accumulate less than 300 million!
After a brief hesitation, Shinki asked, "Could we discuss with the Land of Earth the possibility of using Tailed Beast as collateral?"
As he spoke, Shinki spread his hands, revealing the sealing Curse Mark in his right palm. "Well, I have the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails. Tailed Beasts... they should be worth some money, right?"
Silence fell over everyone in the Hokage's Office.
"By the way, Shinki, why did you keep the Tailed Beast seal in your palm? (‧_‧?)"
Might Guy suddenly asked.
Kakashi: "Is this the time to be concerned with this kind of question?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
After a while, Mitokado Homura, said, "The Tailed Beasts have extremely high strategic value to the Ninja Village; one is worth at least tens of billions..."
But that's far from enough.
Another high-ranking Utatane Koharu, said, "Shinki brought back a steel fortress before. The village has already converted the interior of the steel fortress with Ninjutsu technology, which can probably be worth around a hundred billion..."
Tsunade: "It's still not enough. Even if Konoha mobilized the entire village, it would only amount to a tiny fraction. ㅍ_ㅍ"
Shinki is also starting to have a problem.
"How about I go to the Kinrin Mountains and use Wood Release to plant all the trees for them?"
Tsunade: "You're being too naive. Even if you could grow trees, there are still so many animals on the mountain..."
Shinki: "Use the reincarnation technique to revive them all?"
Tsunade, "I'm exhausted, you idiot! (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)"
Discussions regarding compensation reached a dead end.
"Creak--"
At that moment, the door to the Hokage's Office was pushed open again.
The person who arrived was from the Code Deciphering Division.
These past two days, the Code Deciphering Division, responsible for deciphering encrypted messages between Ninja Villages, has been extremely busy due to the Kinrin Mountains incident!
At that moment, the Code Deciphering Division member, panting, said, "Lady Tsunade, this is the latest news from Iwagakure."
Tsunade took the note.
[Please have the Hokage and Shinki come to Iwagakure to discuss compensation.]
After reading the message, Tsunade said, "Since Iwagakure sent this message, it means there's still room for negotiation on compensation."
"Now, we can only take it one step at a time."
Upon hearing this, the others in the Hokage's Office nodded in agreement.
Tsunade turned to look at Shinki sitting beside her. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Everyone in Konoha has your back."
Shinki nodded, deeply moved. "Master... (｡◕ˇˇ◕｡ )"
Tsunade: "Alright, stop with the pointless act, let's get going."
Afterwards, in order to reach Iwagakure for negotiations as quickly as possible, Shinki and Tsunade used the Flying Thunder God to arrive at the mountain ruins on the border of the Land of Earth.
Then they continued their journey in the plane piloted by Shinki, while Tsunade looked down at the brown soil churned up by Chakra and marveled, "Amazing, the scenery is the same for miles around."
Shinki said, "Isn't it spectacular? I was also quite shocked when I realized what was happening. (´つヮ⊂︎)"
Tsunade: "From what you're saying, you seem quite proud?! (▼he▼メ)"
Shinki (secretly pleased): "No, no."
On the other side.
Land of Fire Border.
Utakata, who wanted to return to Amegakure, was stopped by a mysterious masked man as soon as he reached the Land of Fire Border.
"Excuse me, I need the Six-Tails inside you," the Masked Man said.
Utakata: "The Six-Tails is no longer inside me... ┐(´-`)┌"
"You think you can fool me like that?!"
The Masked Man didn't believe Utakata's words at all and immediately unleashed a series of attacks...
Utakata, dead.
P. S.: Please support me!
