Jingyi immediately accepted the Third Raikage's challenge.
Was this the fearlessness of the ignorant, or did he truly possess such strength?
Why had he agreed so readily?
The Third Hokage was somewhat anxious. He had already talked Jingyi up so much; if Jingyi lost the fight or was killed outright, how was he supposed to explain it to Tsunade?
"Very well. Then does anyone have any objections regarding the compensation?"
The Third Raikage was already looking forward to it, his gaze sweeping over the Third Kazekage and Ōnoki.
I'm waiting to fight. Can't you two be a little more decisive instead of dragging this out?
Decisive my ass. Do you think Iwagakure's economy is as good as Kumogakure's?
Ōnoki was already cursing in his heart.
The Third Kazekage wore an even more miserable expression. Where was he supposed to find over a hundred million ryō to give Jingyi?
Yet he could not refuse to pay this sum, or he would offend the others and their villages.
Sunagakure's days would become even harder then.
"Cough, cough!"
After repeatedly trying and failing to dissuade him with his eyes, the Third Hokage could only cough and take out the list Jingyi had given him, handing it to Ōnoki and the Third Kazekage.
"Tsuchikage, Kazekage, your villages are in relatively difficult financial situations. After discussing it with Jingyi, I have permitted your villages to repay the debt with minerals."
"Can you accept this arrangement?"
They could repay the debt with ore?
Ōnoki and the Third Kazekage froze, then hurriedly snatched the list and examined it carefully.
Good lord, there were no rare minerals on it. In other words, ordinary ore would suffice. Wasn't this list specifically prepared for Iwagakure and Sunagakure?
Mining was a bit troublesome, but it was still better than taking hard
