"Then I'll say it right here. Bringing someone back to life takes an enormous amount of resources."
"But everyone here is a pillar of Konoha, so I'll charge a little less. One hundred million ryo per person."
The moment he named the price, everyone's vision went black.
How was this any different from outright robbery?
Xuanye seemed to have anticipated their reaction, but he wasn't the least bit flustered, nor did he have any intention of lowering the price.
"Please don't think this price is too high. After all, this is the miracle of returning from the dead. A higher price is perfectly normal."
"Before this, even if you wanted to spend a hundred million ryo resurrecting someone, you had no way to do it."

A few people in the crowd cast discreet glances at Kakuzu, but he didn't care.
When it came to bleeding people dry, Uchiha Genya was far more professional than he was.
Take this very moment, for example.
