It wasn't the children's fault. It wasn't the children's fault!
Tsunade kept repeating this to herself, trying to numb her anger.
How could children this young understand the value of money? Jiraiya must have led them astray.
Yes!
That bastard Jiraiya must have been a bad influence on them.
After pinning all the blame on Jiraiya, Tsunade felt much better.
I'll just beat him up the next time I see him.
A smile returned to Tsunade's face as she said:
"Then what do you think would be a fair price for these pills?"
Lin Mu looked thoughtful.
After a dozen seconds or so, he spoke, a hint of resignation in his voice.
"Actually, I understand the difficulties Konohagakure is facing right now. After all, Orochimaru attacked a few months ago, and the losses were devastating. You probably don't have much money left, right?"

"Besides, even setting that aside, how could I refuse when Lady Tsunade has spoken?"
As he spoke, Lin Mu's smile turned sheepish.
He had suddenly sensed a wave of deadly killing intent locking onto him.

"How about this! I won't charge for the first month's Chakra Pills. Konoha only needs to supply me with Military Ration Pills."
Once he finished saying that, Tsunade's expression relaxed completely.
