Shiraishi Yoshijo was at a loss with Tsunade.
He knew she was offering such a high price because she probably thought that practicing his family's Secret Technique would give her chakra control like his.
If he really sold it to her for a hundred million, that woman would probably hound him until the end of time.
After thinking it over, he decided to be honest.
"Tsunade, let me be clear from the start: our family's Secret Technique isn't all that great. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't reach my level."
Tsunade looked confused. "Don't you have this level of chakra control because you practiced the Secret Technique?"
Shiraishi rolled his eyes. "How naive. If something like that really existed, I wouldn't sell it for any amount of money."
Tsunade stared at him blankly, then understood a moment later. "You're treating me like a sucker and trying to fleece me?"
So you do know you're a sucker!
Shiraishi grumbled to himself and crossed one leg over the other.
"Our family does have a few Secret Techniques related to chakra control, but even if you practice them, the improvement will be limited."
"Why?"
Shiraishi fell silent. A butterfly flew out of his sleeve and landed in front of Tsunade.
Tsunade saw the butterfly and fell silent too.
When it came to the fundamental Secret Techniques of Shi-Die, this wasn't something money could solve.
"I understand. But I really need even those less important Secret Techniques. Please."
Shiraishi held out his hand, his expression blank. "Money!"
"You really are obsessed with money. Two million at most!"
"Well, I'd like to do you a favor, but I've got a whole bunch of people to support. Fifty million."
Tsunade stood up, clenching her fists, her gaze fierce.
Shiraishi wasn't afraid of her.
