'Damn it, this Shinobi World won't experience currency devaluation after my death, right? Or is the silver coin that this Uchiha Clan is talking about in front of me a private, worthless currency in some nook and cranny?!'
'It shouldn't be, no matter what, it's Uchiha Clan, and with this level of strength, there's no reason why he would trick me... Could it be that he robbed a big name from a small country?!'
Hearing that Uchiha Jun disliked his own strength, Seimei originally wanted to retort and let Uchiha Jun see how powerful his mechanical body was.
But when Seimei heard the 'salary' Uchiha Jun gave him, he was immediately shocked.
Although it was not clear which force was so powerful that it even built a giant structure, Seimei was extremely shocked by the 20 million living expenses alone.
You know, even when he was alive, during the heyday of Takumi Village providing 'arms' to Five Great Ninja Villages, his annual net profit was only tens of millions!
And that's not to mention one more point, which will be even less in Seimei's own hands!
Although Takumi Village sells arms, it is very popular, but in fact it is still a "lady who sells oil and combs her hair". The majority of the profits are actually taken by Five Great Nations.
After all, Takumi Village is strong, and Land of Iron is still a country of samurai in the final analysis. Compared with the ninjas of Five Great Ninja Villages, it is a stretch and cannot protect Takumi Village.
Seimei is also aware of this real problem, so he has been holding back his anger.
"Twenty million per month, plus several hundred million in project funds for you to research new ninja tools. Of course, I will provide the space and funds, and the results of your research must be shared with me."
"In addition, the premise of 20 million per month is that you can help me take over that mechanical giant. If your skills are limited, the price can only be reduced to 10 million."
"In addition, Cheng Yan, give him a price list so that this prisoner can understand the current general prices."
Looking at the surprised Seimei in front of him, Uchiha Jun explained. He saw that Seimei's resurrection mechanism was no different from Impure World Reincarnation. En Oyashiro, who was a little disappointed, quickly handed Seimei a price list after hearing this.
Above are some prices for ninja tools in various regions.
In this era, the best-selling ninja tools also have some properties of equivalents, and you can also learn the current prices from them.
Seimei The result was a price list. After scanning it for a few times, I couldn't hide the excitement in my eyes.
'Damn, prices haven't depreciated significantly!'
'If I really could get a salary of 20 million, I would still be doing it alone!'
"Boss, please allow me to take over Takumi Village's current forging techniques and various technologies, so that I can better serve your business!"
Should I say that Seimei is worthy of being the boss? He quickly changed his position and called Uchiha Jun the boss.
The action is so fast that only Kakuzu can stabilize one end of the voltage.
"Of course, but... just don't have high expectations."
"Ah?! Could it be that Takumi Village was destroyed?!"
"That's not... I'm not going to say it, because I want to see your reaction. I think it would be interesting."
Uchiha Jun thought about it and did not inform Seimei of the current situation that Takumi Village had finished. Instead, he wanted to see Seimei's thunderous expression and reaction after seeing his foundation turned into shit.
'...'
'...'
After seeing Uchiha Jun's attitude, En Oyashiro and Chino on the side silently gave Uchiha Jun a nasty label in their hearts.
"!!!"
Hearing Uchiha Jun's words, Seimei felt even more uneasy. He quickly looked around, looking around at the village that he had created with his own hands but had been away from for nearly a hundred years, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
"My descendants... the descendants of Takumi Village... how are they doing now?"
'Why does the boss have this attitude?'
En Oyashiro looked at Uchiha Jun, cleared his throat, and said politely, "This... you better go and see for yourself."
Seimei Earth Flow looked forward to the ancestral hall in the center of the village with great expectation - it was a design he personally planned before his death, and was used to store the forging secrets and inheritance maps of Takumi Village throughout the ages.
Pushing open the door of the ancestral hall, Earth Flow walked towards the deep library with full anticipation.
Then.
Seimei's expression froze.
There are a few yellowed scrolls scattered on the bookshelf, less than one-third of what he left behind during his lifetime.
He glanced at the contents of those scrolls and couldn't help but frown--
<Raiga Blade Improvement Plan·Third Edition>--When you open it, you will see that several magic patterns have been added to the surface. The core structure completely follows the first version design left by Seimei during his lifetime, and not even a single formula has been changed.
< Research on the Application of Wind Cutter Technique in Forging Ninja Tools>--The content is a first draft that he wrote at the beginning but did not have much time to continue writing. Next to it, someone added a few lines of comments in scrawled handwriting.
But the content of those annotations... How should I put it, it's like a civilian scientist crazy about the physical laws of strong alkali.
It has a charm that makes me think.
What's even more outrageous is that he saw a beautifully bound book in the most conspicuous position of the library - "Takumi Village Compilation of Blacksmithing Techniques in Past Dynasties·Volume 1 (Inheritance from the Ancestors)".
He opened it expectantly.
On the title page it was written in large gilded characters -
"The ancestral laws are immutable, the ancestral weapons cannot be changed, and everything is based on the instructions of the ancestors."
'Uh--!!!'
Seimei's expression began to collapse.
He continued to scroll down, faster and faster, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting.
--The following ten pages are all reproductions of the first edition design drawings he left behind during his lifetime, and even the graffiti he drew casually in the corners have not been erased.
--On the next few pages, there are several articles praising the "Forging Concept of the Forefather" by later generations. Each article emphasizes that "the design of the Forefather is perfect, and future generations only need to follow it."
--At the end of the book, there is also a flow chart of the "Takumi Village Ceremony of Worshiping the Ancestor", which records in detail how to offer incense, offer sacrifices, and kowtow to the statue of the ancestor every year...
Use this process to 'enchant' the ninja and sell it to the wealthy businessmen who like to collect it for a higher price.
Seimei slowly closed the book.
He stood there in silence for ten seconds.
Then, Seimei turned his head, looked at Uchiha Jun, and asked in an extremely calm but unprecedentedly suppressed voice, "The Takumi Village I created... has turned into this in the past hundred years?"
"Did someone change the species for me, boss?"
Uchiha Jun shrugged. "Hey, Seimei, think on the bright side, at least they didn't change your statue to Second Hokage, use your brain, right?"
Seimei took a deep breath and closed his eyes, seeming to calm down.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, leaving only a kind of extremely cold disappointment.
"Boss, I want to visit the forging area of the village."
