Unmasking

"No. Even if they have the same effect, their value can't be considered equal. The necklace I gave you was made by my grandfather.

"My grandfather was one of Konoha's founders, the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi. Just those titles alone are worth who knows how much." Tsunade spoke with a serious expression.

"So, you don't want this?" Mu Yue pretended to take it back.

Tsunade swiftly snatched the pale green crystal from Mu Yue's palm.

"Even though this isn't as valuable as my grandfather's, it can still pay off some of the debt." After carefully examining the crystal for a few moments, Tsunade looked up and said.

Objectively speaking, the necklace Mu Yue had made had great potential to appreciate in value. In the future, it might not be worth much less than Hashirama Senju's necklace—as long as Mu Yue did not make more necklaces with the same function.

"So how many meals do I owe you now?" Mu Yue asked curiously.

Tsunade stroked her snow-white chin, looking thoughtful.

"Let's count by the day. It'll be simpler. Including the interest for borrowing the necklace, let's say 1,461 days." Tsunade thought for a moment before answering.

"That's quite a long time." Mu Yue sighed.

"I've already given you a massive discount. If you try bargaining any further, the thing getting broken might not be a number." Tsunade thought Mu Yue was haggling and rubbed her fair fists together threateningly.

In truth, this number was still below Tsunade's
