"So you just agreed?" Hanzo of the Salamander frowned as well, looking at Kusana. "You know, he's a terrifying ninja even you're wary of! And that vase... Didn't we agree on one hundred million?"
"..."
Kusana looked at Hanzo of the Salamander speechlessly.
Didn't this guy say Danzo was just a sinister rat?
And hadn't he only wanted ten million at first? Why wasn't fifty million enough now?
How had he changed so quickly?
"The war is about to end. There's really no need to haggle with Konoha anymore! Better to take the money and run!"
As soon as he said that.
Hanzō came to his senses as well, realizing that haggling with Konoha was not what mattered most right now.
Though it pained him to lose fifty million just like that, he did not question Leader Mang's order. "Fine! Next time, I'll capture him and take that fifty million back!"
"..."
What was this guy trying to do?
Even fleecing a sheep didn't mean grabbing the same one every day!
Where was the bearing of the Half-God of the Ninja World?
Kusana's mouth twitched. Looking at Kakuzu, who was nodding beside him as well, he could only silently wish Danzo good luck.
Just then.
Hanzō spoke again. "Then... when are we releasing him?"
"When the money arrives, we release him! And while we're at it..." Kusana narrowed his eyes slightly. "We'll hold a farewell ceremony for our old friend Danzo!"
"???"
A few days later.
Konoha sent word that they would deliver the money and asked them to release the man immediately.
But Kusana insisted on payment and delivery happening at the same time.
In the end.
They agreed on a time and place to exchange the money and the hostage at the border between the two countries!
