All-Knowing All-Seeing Eye!
"Damn it!" Tsunade raised her fist, clearly annoyed.
But when she saw Shen Mo's innocent expression, she still lowered her hand.
This was when the benefits of his previous claim of being just a hired hand became apparent.
Regardless of how good or bad his luck was, it had nothing to do with him.
"You still have more of these, right? I mean, these medical-type jars." Tsunade glared fiercely at Shen Mo. She felt a pressure weighing on her chest and had to open more jars to vent it.
"Of course." Shen Mo nodded.
He was overjoyed inside.
He understood this emotion all too well.
The better the item one opened, the more one wanted to keep opening.
"Shizune." Tsunade gulped down a large mouthful of wine, then waved her hand. "Pay him!"
"Tsunade-sama." Shizune's voice drifted over mournfully. "We're out of money."
"What?" Tsunade blinked, completely dumbfounded.
"Have you forgotten how much you lost yesterday?" Shizune's face was full of resentment.
""
Shen Mo was also a little stunned.
Excluding the two free ones, she had only opened eight jars just now, which came to four hundred thousand.
Converted into Trading Points, it was only around twenty-four thousand.
And she was already out of money?
A renowned medical expert, one of the Legendary Sannin, and the princess of the Senju Clan had only this much money?
"Haha, hahahaha." Tsunade laughed awkwardly a few times. Then she slammed her palm onto the floor with a bang, leaned forward, and moved close to Shen Mo before saying fiercely, "Put it on my tab!"
"" Shen Mo's expression immediately darkened. "I'm terribly sorry, but this is a small business. No credit."
"What are you talking about? Don't be so stingy." Tsunade casually patted Shen Mo's shoulder twice, her strength astonishingly great. "Do you know who I am? Tsunade, one of Konoha's Sannin. Do you really think I'd refuse to pay my debts?"
You won't refuse to pay, but you'll take several years to do it.
Shen Mo did not voice that retort. He merely shook his head firmly.
No negotiations!
He also was not worried that Tsunade would lose her temper and throw a little punch at him or something. The Vajra Body Protection Talisman from the cultivation world would take care of that.
"Ugh." Tsunade pursed her lips in displeasure.
She would not resort to snatching them, but being unable to continue opening jars without money was rather unpleasant.
"That may be true, but you can also exchange other items." Shen Mo continued, "Knowledge, objects—anything from any field will do. However, I'll be the one to determine their value."
"Oh?" Tsunade seemed interested again. "You'll determine their value? If it's something you don't understand, how will you decide what it's worth?"
"I naturally have my ways." The corners of Shen Mo's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "I guarantee a fair valuation. If you disagree, you don't have to make the exchange."
This was another benefit of the Trading System.
Free appraisal.
For anything confirmed to be a trade item, it would not only provide a value but also perform a certain degree of content appraisal.
"Shizune, bring him the spoils from last time."
Tsunade folded her arms and spoke to Shizune, emphasizing the words "spoils" heavily.
Her merchandise was indeed astonishing.
But the man himself was an ordinary person with no Chakra and flabby muscles. That much she could still determine.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Shizune got up and left. A short while later, she returned carrying several items.
Although Tsunade had already left Konoha,
there was still no shortage of provocateurs.
These scrolls were spoils obtained from those ninja.
"Take a look at these. How much are they worth?" Tsunade wore a hint of mockery on her face.
These were all items belonging to ninja.
Ninjutsu and tools.
How could someone who was not a ninja appraise their value?
And Shen Mo—
He raised two fingers and held them upright before his brow, saying:
"We have an ability called the All-Knowing All-Seeing Eye."
As he spoke, a golden design slowly emerged amid flowing light at the center of his forehead, and an indescribable aura spread through the room.
The mocking expression on Tsunade's face froze.
What was this?
She stared at the design on Shen Mo's forehead. It seemed to be shaped like an eye, but merely looking directly at it caused even her to feel a faint sting.
Shizune, meanwhile, instinctively lowered her head amid emotions she could not describe.
Nobility.
Even without knowing what it was, she could feel an air of nobility.
It could not be stared at. It could not be disrespected.
Tsunade had never seen or heard of such an eye design. And what had this man just called it? The All-Knowing All-Seeing Eye?
Shen Mo took in both their expressions.
He was rather satisfied.
If this design were seen by a modern person, they could probably identify what it was.
The Eye of Agamotto.
The one around Doctor Strange's neck.
However, Shen Mo had merely spent a full twenty-five thousand Trading Points through the Trading System to customize a mere imitation that possessed only the appearance and emanated a faint, noble, profound aura. That was the full extent of its function.
It had not been cheap, but it had been worth it.
It also served as an "excuse" for how he could determine the value of items. He could even reveal abilities such as "Future Sight" during certain verbal exchanges.
"Three ninjutsu scrolls." Shen Mo pretended to examine the items and read out the appraisal results provided by the system. "They are a C-rank Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, a C-rank Earth Style: Earth Release Bullet, and a B-rank Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave. The B-rank ninjutsu also includes insights written by a Jonin. As for the tools, only one is an Elite Tool. Their total value is around three million six hundred thousand."
These items were worth more than two hundred thousand Trading Points according to the system.
That was somewhat more than Shen Mo had expected.
But it made sense.
B-rank ninjutsu was already considered powerful in this world, and generally only Jonin could master some of it.
Once it reached A-rank, the price would increase sharply, because most of them were closely guarded secrets.
"You didn't even open them to look?" Tsunade stared deeply at Shen Mo. After a moment of silence, she suddenly took the necklace from around her neck. "How much is this necklace worth?"
"Tsunade-sama, that is—" Shizune could not help crying out in surprise.
However, Tsunade did not reply or even look at her. She only stared fixedly at Shen Mo.
Her eyes seemed to contain deep sorrow.
The ominous necklace.
Shen Mo looked at the necklace, which was tied with a cord and seemed to be made from some kind of ore. Information about its story surfaced in his mind.
An heirloom of the First Hokage.
A Chakra crystal that reacted only to the First Hokage's Chakra.
Tsunade had once given it to her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, and he died the very next day—and in a particularly gruesome manner.
Later, she gave it to her lover, Dan Katō, who also died, with even his kidneys blown away.
Thus, Tsunade had named this necklace the "Death Necklace."
So, how should he answer?
