What did one hundred billion Explosive Tags even look like?
Piao a Piao Milk Tea sold over seven hundred million cups a year. Lined up, they could circle the Earth twice. One hundred billion Explosive Tags could circle it at least two hundred and fifty times!
If they were used as wallpaper, there'd be enough to cover all of Konoha from top to bottom, including the sewers!
If one hundred billion Explosive Tags exploded at once, all of Konoha would be blown to smithereens!
"Hanfu, you're not joking, are you?" Namikaze Minato asked, his heart pounding.
He wasn't worried that Hanfu would wreck Konoha after getting his hands on one hundred billion Explosive Tags. He was worried that since the Akatsuki could produce one hundred billion Explosive Tags in exchange for a single piece of information, they might well produce another hundred billion—or even two or three hundred billion—to "buy" the Tailed Beasts!
After all, the Akatsuki's goal was the Nine Tailed Beasts belonging to the Major Ninja Villages, not Obito Uchiha!
That was terrifying!
Just thinking about it made Namikaze Minato shudder.
"Lord Hokage, I only thought of squeezing them for a little extra after seeing Konan use hundreds of thousands of Explosive Tags against Shisui and the others. I never expected to get this much."
Hanfu sighed. "But the Akatsuki couldn't hand over one hundred billion Explosive Tags all at once, so I let them pay in installments."
Namikaze Minato frowned. "Hanfu, what if the Akatsuki uses the Explosive Tags to attack Konoha..."
Hanfu shook his head. "Lord Hokage, I don't think that's very realistic. Explosive Tags are easy to carry, but when quantity becomes quality, the Akatsuki couldn't possibly transport one hundred billion of them into Konoha without anyone noticing."
Namikaze Minato thought it over and agreed.
