"?"
The Third Hokage's words left even Gua a little stunned.
He agreed?
He was letting me read the Scroll of Seals?
And the six million was mine too?
Holy shit!
The surprise came so fast that Gua needed a moment to recover.
Let me get this straight.
I got six million, then lost six million, then got six million again. It looked like I gained nothing, but I actually gained six million, plus a noble character.
And I even got a chance to read the Scroll of Seals.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Gua could barely resist applauding!
He had heard a theory that the world was virtual and everyone was a virtual account. Now it seemed his player had finally spent some money on him!!
"Thank you, Third Hokage."
Gua hurried to thank him.
But the Third Hokage added, "Of course, reading it is one thing. You may not copy any Ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals or teach them to anyone without permission. Understood?"
Gua nodded.
"Understood."
The Scroll of Seals was worth every bit as much as the Land of Earth's Dust Release.
So if it leaked, the consequences would be severe.
"Good. Starting tomorrow, you may come here every day to study the Scroll of Seals for half an hour."
The Third Hokage nodded, settling the matter, then pushed the six million on the desk toward him. "Take this. Money may be a worldly possession, but having it is still better than not."
"Thank you, Third Hokage."
Gua thanked him again.
He truly was grateful to the Third Hokage.
No wonder you're the Hokage, Lord Hiruzen.
With that kind of vision, that old bastard Danzo couldn't catch up even on horseback!
Gua left with his recovered six million, and the gloom hanging over his world finally vanished.
