Impending Promotion and Raise!

Shiro stared at the middle-aged man in the kimono, his eyes narrowing beneath the cloak. His intuition told him that this man was very strong!

However, after carefully examining him using the method taught by Sakumo, Shiro did not discover any of the Ninjutsu attributes he was skilled in, leaving only two possibilities.

Either Shiro's training wasn't up to par or he lacked experience, but that's impossible. With Sakumo's involvement, Shiro practiced using prisoners in Konoha's heavy prisons disguised as members of the Anbu.

Furthermore, he also used Projection Magecraft and borrowed a lot of experience from Sakumo, so in this respect, Shiro can be said to be second only to Sakumo.

At the same time, Sakumo also brought in many Anbu Ninja, giving Shiro a real combat experience.

Therefore, there is only one possibility left: he is a bloodline ninja, which is why he lacks the subtle characteristics of the Five Elements Release Techniques. These characteristics cannot be concealed even by the Hokage, unless it is Transformation Technique. Therefore, it can only be a bloodline.

This is a tough one; who knows what his bloodline limit is?

But Shiro remains fearless! He has a trump card!

"Is the money ready?"

"Everything is ready, but let's talk about the price first, what do you think? Um, what should I call you?"

"Pain of Akatsuki, just call me Pain." Regardless of Nagato, Shiro has already claimed it, and he doesn't have any patent rights. Besides, if he uses it in the future, he'll be in big trouble.

"Pain? Not a bad name. You can call me Sasakibe. We should have more collaborations in the future."

"Okay, so how much are you prepared to offer, managers?"

Sasakibe's lips twitched slightly, but his good manners allowed him to quickly recover and cover it up with a quick retort.

"Hmm, 300 taels per sheet, Mr. Pain, what do you think?"

Shiro glanced at him, said nothing, and directly activated the stealth aura of his cloak, making a gesture as if he was about to leave. 300 taels was simply not a sincere offer.

Sure enough, seeing Shiro's actions, Sasakibe quickly said, "Mr. Pain, please stop for a moment. Let's talk slowly. Everything is negotiable."

Shiro slightly raised his head and said calmly, "I'm a ninja, not a businessman. I don't have that much time to talk to you. Show some sincerity."

Shiro wasn't bluffing him. To ensure a smooth transaction, Shiro had already Projection Explosive Tag in advance, which consumed a considerable amount of Chakra.

If they delay any longer, Shiro won't have any Explosive Tag to trade.

After Sasakibe's thought, Sparrowbeard asked, "In that case, Mr. Pain, what do you think the amount should be?"

"600 taels per sheet."

"Mr. Pain, we've shown our sincerity, shouldn't you reciprocate? Explosive Tag worth 700 each on the market, your 600 isn't worth the risk for us."

"Besides, 200,000 is not a small amount. Apart from us, there shouldn't be anyone else who can afford to take on so much illicit goods. Since you're in such a hurry, I'll be straightforward and offer a fixed price of 500 taels. How about that?"

'Feels great? I'll really give you a good time later!'

However, Shiro pretended to be thinking and did not give himself away. Sasakibe did not urge him, but just quietly watched Shiro think.

To be honest, Sasakibe being so polite, he almost felt bad about taking advantage of him; there really aren't many people like that among ninjas.

"In that case, it's a pleasure to cooperate, but I need to see the money first."

Upon hearing this, Sasakibe laughed. If the deal went well, and he quoted a slightly higher price, he would net at least tens of millions!

All we need to do is give the old man, the only one who knows the details of the transaction, some money to keep him quiet for a while, and then have him die accidentally because of an argument with a ninja.

This was one of the reasons he removed the hidden sentries, and it was also a huge achievement, with a promotion just around the corner! He couldn't help but be happy!

Of course, while he was happy, he still knew what was important, so he suppressed his excitement and nodded to the old man.

The old man understood what he meant, went directly to the room behind the counter, took out a box, opened it, and showed it to Shiro.

"This is only part of it; there's more inside. So, Mr. Pain, could you let us see the Explosive Tag first?"

"Okay." Faced with the request from the Sasakibe, Shiro did not hesitate and immediately agreed, then handed him the Explosive Tag that he had bought in other countries and modified over the past three days.

This isn't Projection by Shiro; it's a real Explosive Tag. Shiro bought it to pass their inspections and to prevent any accidents.

During these three days, Shiro also made some modifications to these Explosive Tag. With Shiro's current abilities, changing the pattern of the Explosive Tag without affecting their effectiveness is still a very simple matter.

Therefore, after checking and finding nothing wrong, Sasakibe waved to the old man with his back to him. The old man understood and went into the house, taking out all the remaining money.

This isn't to show the impact of having so much money together, but rather because in the Exchange, anything involving money is generally a cash transaction, since money shops aren't safe, especially for ninjas like them.

That's why they say they need to prepare funds.

Before long, the old man took out several boxes one by one, opened them, and let Shiro see them clearly.

"Alright, Mr. Pain, we've shown our sincerity. Now, where are your Explosive Tag?" Sasakibe asked, extending a hand toward the open box.

"No problem, it'll be ready in a minute."

By the time the old man opened the boxes, Shiro had already finished Analysis them. The amount of money and whether it was real or fake matched. Therefore, Shiro took a slight step back and, unusually, bit his finger.

"Summoning Technique!"

With a "bang," a spider with a large, fat abdomen appeared in front of them. Shiro walked straight forward, opened the summoned beast's abdomen, and took out Explosive Tag.

The skillful technique made the eyes of the Sasakibe and the old man jump; clearly, they mistook the Shiro Familiar a real Ninja Beast.

Moreover, there are indeed ninjas in the Shinobi World who use the powerful vitality of Ninja Beast to carry out various cruel modifications. However, even they have only seen some modifications made to enhance combat power.

This is the first time I've seen something like this where a summoned beast is used as a means of transportation.

Surprised as he was, he was still a person from the dark world. Although he couldn't accept it, he wasn't scared. So after a slight pause, the old man went up and carried the 100 million taels into the spider's abdomen.

Although it was a bit awkward, fortunately, one hundred million wasn't much, just a few boxes, and it was moved inside in no time. Then, with Shiro's Hand Seals, with a "bang," it returned to its original place with the money.

Upon witnessing this scene, they had to admit that although it was somewhat cruel, it was still a safe and fast means of transportation, and could be considered for wider adoption.

"Mr. Pain, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I look forward to our next collaboration."

"We'll see. I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Shiro ignored the hand that the Sasakibe had reached out. A black halo flashed, and Shiro's figure disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, a furious roar echoed from inside the Exchange: "Pain!!!"

Upon hearing this, Shiro, who was standing by the alley, grinned slightly and then vanished in a puff of smoke!

Eight more chapters are still owed.
