Zhang Yu handed over the Heaven Scroll.
"Can."
Hinata caught it with both hands.
She was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting Zhang Yu to agree so quickly.
"You really gave it to me?"
"Predict with confidence."
"Don't get robbed on your way back."
Hinata immediately hugged the scroll to her chest.
"Thank you, Boss Zhang Yu."
I will keep it safe.
After saying that, she turned around, blushing.
I had only taken a few steps when I almost tripped over a tree root.
Ya quickly stepped forward to support her.
Hinata, slow down.
Hinata responded softly and quickly returned to Team 8 with the scroll in her hand.
At this point, Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, and Team 3 had all collected the Heaven and Earth Scrolls.
There is no longer any need for the four teams of the Konoha 12 to stay.
Naruto stuffed the Earth Scroll into his ninja tool bag.
"Now we can go straight to the Central Tower!"
Sasuke glanced at the other examinees from surrounding villages.
"Let's get out of here first."
Shikamaru also turned and walked into the woods.
"The scroll has arrived."
"Finally, I don't have to stay here and join in the fun anymore."
The four teams quickly dispersed.
The remaining candidates lingered at the edge of the open space, but no one dared to approach them anymore.
They weren't familiar with Zhang Yu.
They couldn't offer any surprise gifts either.
As for forcibly seizing it, the three large craters on the ground are still there.
Nobody wants to be the fourth.
After discussing in hushed tones for a moment, the groups retreated into the woods one after another.
"Go find your teammates to pool your money."
"I'll have to sell all my ninja tools to raise enough money."
"Only two days left, it might be too late to grab one now."
"I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning."
Before long, the area outside the wooden house became quiet.
Zhang Yu glanced at the scrolls on the long table.
That's all for today.
"We'll continue selling tomorrow."
Karin carefully put the notes away.
Yugao also rearranged the remaining scrolls neatly.
Everyone returned to the cabin to rest.
Zhang Yu lay in his room, looking at the tree canopy outside the window, and couldn't help but shake his head.
After entering the Forest of Death, the other candidates were either fighting or evading pursuit.
Some people even lost their lives for the scroll.
He, however, lived in a wooden hut built Hashirama.
Eat grilled fish.
Take a nap.
I also set up a stall to sell scrolls.
"This is no Chunin Ninja Exams!"
"They're clearly here for vacation."
Night fell.
The activity in the Forest of Death gradually decreased.
The four teams of the Konoha 12 have already arrived at the Central Tower.
The entire Heaven and Earth Scrolls has been collected.
All team members were present.
They rested in the rooms arranged for them inside the tower, waiting for the five-day deadline to end.
In another grove of trees.
The Kabuto Yakushi on one knee.
Orochimaru stood under the tree, his face grim.
"So, most of the remaining Heaven and Earth Scrolls are in Zhang Yu's hands?"
"Yes."
He pushed up his glasses.
"The only way for both of our teams to advance is to buy our way in."
Orochimaru twitched a few times as he recalled the 10,000-ryo cola bottle at the entrance.
He still remembers the way Zhang Yu looked when he was counting the money.
Approximately how much is needed?
"Unable to confirm."
Dou replied, "He initially listed it at 50,000 taels per animal."
"But this price is only valid for regular test takers."
Zhang Yu does not have a fixed pricing standard.
He charges for seeing patients.
"We certainly won't accept only 50,000 taels from us."
Orochimaru asked coldly, "How well have you investigated his identity?"
No results.
He lowered his head.
" Zhang Yu is not listed in the Konoha Jonin roster, Anbu files, or clan records."
He's not an ordinary candidate.
"He's not a member of Konoha's Root either."
" The First Hokage, Madara Uchiha, and another silver-haired powerhouse all obeyed his orders."
"The two streams of Chakra that locked onto you at the entrance to the Forest of Death are also related to them."
Orochimaru's vertical pupils narrowed.
Dou continued, " Zhang Yu knows we have a problem."
Even if I didn't see through all your plans, I'm still no friend.
"Judging from the current situation, he is an enemy, not a friend, towards us."
Orochimaru remained silent for a moment.
How much money do you need?
Dou gave a conservative figure.
One million taels.
"Anything below this price might not be enough to buy the scrolls needed by both teams."
Orochimaru's expression grew even colder.
Before the Chunin Ninja Exams were even over, Zhang Yu had already taken 13,000 taels of silver from him.
Now we need to prepare another million.
Both teams must advance.
The subsequent plans cannot be halted.
"Go and prepare."
"Yes."
On the other hand, Temari told Baki the details of the scroll transaction exactly as it was.
Upon hearing this, Baki's face immediately darkened.
"Baka!"
"He first stole the scrolls from the other teams, then put them out to sell."
"This is clearly a deliberate attempt to rip you off!"
Kankuro sat beside him, not daring to interrupt.
Temari shook her head.
He didn't break the rules.
" The Forest of Death allows the theft of scrolls."
The rules also do not prohibit trading between test takers.
Others rely on fighting to seize resources.
He simply replaced robbery with openly selling.
Baki said coldly, "Fifty thousand taels is considered a sale with a price tag?"
"If we really go and buy it, the price will definitely be more than 50,000."
Temari was also helpless.
"You can't advance if you don't buy it."
" Gaara's team must advance to the next match."
"Another Sunagakure team is also being arranged."
" The Konoha Crush Plan cannot be interrupted by a few scrolls."
Baki clenched his fist.
After a moment, he still took out a stack of banknotes.
"Take it first."
If that's not enough, we'll find another way.
"Both teams must enter the Central Tower, no matter what."
The next morning.
A large number of test takers had already gathered outside the wooden house.
The Kabuto Yakushi team.
The Sound Ninja Trio.
Gaara's team.
There are also several teams from Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Kusagakure.
Most of these people were involved in the subsequent intrusion plan.
Ordinary test takers have already given up.
They weren't short of money; they were simply afraid to stay.
A group of people waited from dawn until noon.
The door to the cabin remained closed.
Some people were getting impatient, but dared not urge them.
The bodies of the three Grass Ninja from yesterday have not yet been disposed of.
Anyone who dares to knock on the door might end up lying next to you.
There was no sound from inside the wooden house until the sun was directly overhead.
After waking up and washing up, Zhang Yu slowly pushed open the bedroom door.
He saw the crowd outside and yawned.
"You're here quite early."
A Sand Ninja said with a dark expression, "We've been waiting for four hours."
Zhang Yu walked behind the long table and sat down.
You can come back this afternoon.
The Sand Ninja was rendered speechless.
Karin took a pen and paper and sat down next to her.
Yugao and Bai stood behind Zhang Yu.
Ban and Hashirama were still leaning against the door of the wooden house.
The buying and selling of scrolls has officially begun.
The first to step forward was an unfamiliar Sunagakure squad.
The leader of the Sand Ninja took out 50,000 taels.
"We need a Heaven Scroll."
Yu looked at the money, then at the three of them.
"Eight hundred thousand taels."
The Sand Ninja froze.
"The wooden sign clearly says 50,000 taels!"
That was yesterday's price.
"It went up today."
Even if the price goes up, it can't possibly reach 800,000 taels!
