"Fifty million!?"
Kakashi looked stunned. He had thought Hyuga Kagami would ask the village to let him study some secret technique, perhaps even a forbidden technique. He had never expected Hyuga Kagami's condition to be money—and such an enormous sum at that.

After Kakashi and Hyuga Kagami reached an agreement, the Hokage Building immediately announced to the entire village that Advisory
