Finally Hearing That Bang...
"Kid! Do you even know how much ten million taels of silver is? You've never made a demand like that before!"
Shimura Danzō gripped his cane tightly, staring fiercely at Makoto Ito!
"Danzo, it's not ten million taels, it's fifty million taels!"
Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, Shimura Danzō turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if to say, "Hiruzen, look at your disciple! Are you just going to let him run wild like this? Don't you know what fifty million ryo really means?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also coughed a few times...
"Cough cough... cough cough... Cheng, fifty million taels is indeed a huge sum! Perhaps you are too young to understand how much fifty million taels is, but it is certainly too much money..."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Makoto Ito curled his lip...
"Ten million taels it is then, I won't be greedy!"
Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"In that case, ten million taels it is! Danzo! Stop haggling! Otherwise, I'll have a good discussion with you about why your Root members attacked my disciple!!!"
Shimura Danzō stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief!
"Hiruzen!!! You!!!! He doesn't know how much ten million ryo is, but don't you?! Are you just going to give that much money to a brat like that?"
"Danzo! I am the Hokage!!!"
"Sarutobi! You'll regret this!!!"
After saying that, Danzo instinctively tugged at the door, only to find it wouldn't open because Makoto Ito's foot was still blocking it...
"Open the door for me! I'll go back to Root and have Root members bring the money over!!!"
With a wave of his Shimura Danzō took away the corpses of the three Root ninjas, then slammed the door shut!
Bang!!!!!!!!
Only when he heard the door slam Shimura Danzō feel a little relieved, after all, the whole process had finally been completed perfectly!
If I don't hear a bang, it feels like something's missing...
Makoto Ito turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi ...
"Teacher, are we just going to let him take the body away like that? A ninja's corpse is important information, isn't it? Besides, Shimura Danzō seems so lewd, what if he does something weird to the corpse when he gets back?"
Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes and punched Makoto Ito on the head!
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?! The ninja's corpse is indeed important information, but Shimura Danzō doesn't have any means to extract information from the corpse!"
"And he wouldn't leave the Root ninja's corpse to me. After all, Root has too many shady dealings to hide. They spend all day hiding in their underwear—no, I mean, all day underground. Even if I were the Hokage, he wouldn't easily hand over such information to me!"
In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were also a veiled way of telling Makoto Ito that he didn't need to worry about Shimura Danzō discovering his little secret through the corpses of these three Root ninjas. In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't quite believe that Makoto Ito could so easily defeat these three Root ninjas using only Genjutsu. However, since Makoto Ito didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't press him too much. After all, Makoto Ito was his disciple, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had great faith in his Will of Fire. He also believed that Makoto Ito had absolutely and perfectly inherited his Will of Fire!
As for Danzo's ten million taels, it was definitely not a small sum, and it was certainly a major blow to Danzo. After all, the Shimura Clan was not a large family, and the operation of Root required a lot of funds. With Danzo's ten million taels, Root would probably have to tighten its belt for a while...
Most importantly, this also indirectly served as a Danzo, otherwise, Danzo would have really been disrespecting him, the Third Hokage, lately!
And just like that, in no time at all, a Root ninja arrived at the Hokage Office with a Sealing Scroll!
"Lord Hokage! This is Danzo Sealing Scroll Lord Danzo asked me to deliver!"
After leaving his belongings, the Root ninja left without even waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply. Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes upon seeing this!
As for what he was thinking, no one knows...
Makoto Ito didn't think that much about it. After all, the Root ninjas were only loyal to Danzo, so how could they possibly respect the Hokage?
The most important thing right now is my own money!
After Makoto Ito picked up the Sealing Scroll and broke it, a large amount of cash suddenly appeared in the room!
The moment Makoto Ito saw the money, his eyes turned into the shape of money! If someone who didn't know better saw this, they might think he had awakened some new form of the Mangekyō Sharingan!
[Tobirama Senju: Hey! Kid, this is outrageous! The shapes in your eyes have all turned into the shapes of coins! You've got the legendary Mangekyo Moneygan, right?]
[Izuna Uchiha: Does the Mangekyo Sharingan have this form? How come I didn't know?]
[Madara Uchiha: Good heavens, just how much does this kid love money?]
[Makoto Ito: I'm just an ordinary person! What's wrong with loving money? Is there anything wrong with loving money? With money, you can travel ten thousand miles; without money, you can't even take a step. You can't be unaware of this simple truth, can you?]
[Tobirama Senju: I must say, you little brat, you always manage to say something interesting! I wonder where you learn all that!]
[Hashirama Senju: I think what Makoto said makes sense. A man with money is a hero, a man without money is nothing. I remember when Mito and Tobirama were in charge of all the money in my house. When Konoha was first established, I didn't have any pocket money for a while, and I had to ask Madara for money every day!]
