When Ōnoki laid out his conditions, everyone around him was stunned. No wonder Anyo was angry—even Ōnoki's granddaughter thought he had gone too far.
First were the village's design plans, which very likely involved its security. Those were strictly classified documents that no one but the village's Kage was qualified to see. Then there were the cars. Very few traveled the roads, and judging by how distressed Kankuro had looked when one was bumped, they certainly cost a fortune. It was hard to say whether Sunagakure even had a hundred of them. As for the tens of billions, that was pure fantasy, practically a wish. With all those conditions put together, never mind Anyo wanting to slaughter Ōnoki—everyone else felt the urge to beat him up too.
Ōnoki seemed to have anticipated Anyo's reaction and said unhurriedly, "Young people are always so impatient. Since this is a negotiation, once I state my terms, you're naturally free to bargain until both sides are satisfied."
"Hmph." Anyo snorted. "I don't want to waste time on this with you. First, I can't give you the design plans, but I will send ten designers to your village to survey the site and oversee the construction of various facilities. You'll have to pay their wages for five years. After five years, we'll see whether they want to return. Second, a hundred cars is pure wishful thinking. They cost far more to build than you imagine. I can personally give you one. Whether you can reverse-engineer it and mass-produce it will depend on your own abilities. Third, I can lend you money—a billion in total, paid in installments of a hundred million a year. Repayment begins in the eleventh year, also at a hundred million a year, with one extra year's payment as interest."
