The allure of monopoly

As for Mr. Lan's statement that he poses no threat to them, who would believe such a thing?

This thing is for ninjas, and specifically, Chunin and Jonin. Anyone who carries this will definitely become much stronger. It's an instant-cast blood Ninjutsu that doesn't require Hand Seals.

For any ninja, there is no such thing as being without a threat.

At this moment, the Scientific Ninja Tool were undoubtedly their greatest gain from this trip; they were absolute strategic resources.

Although no one said anything, everyone already knew what was going to happen next.

Yuzuru was too lazy to expose these people, so she just chatted with them about this and that until the meeting ended.

Soon after the meeting, each village approached Yuzuru for different reasons.

As for their goal, it's the Second-Generation Scientific Ninja Tool, of course. They want everything else too, but not in large quantities, since a ninja's strength is everything.

As a result, Yuzuru also made a fortune.

Although it's an outdated item from several years ago, it's something they can only dream of, and it's the only one of its kind.

After all, this is a monopoly; that's the allure of a monopoly.

Everyone hates monopolies, yet everyone loves them.

There's nowhere else to buy Scientific Ninja Tool besides here, so naturally, they set the prices.

Regardless of the quality, these ninja villages had no choice, because Kirigakure had already bought it.

In their view, the Kirigakure Village possessed ninjas that they lacked, which was a disadvantage, since ninjas were the fundamental measure of a village's strength.

Whether it's a mission or a potential war in the future, whatever the situation, they need stronger ninjas; they are the face of a ninja village.

Therefore, all Yuzuru needs to do now is wait and count the money.

Let's cut a bunch of leeks first.

As expected, after arranging accommodations for the group, the first place they couldn't wait to visit was Sunagakure.

Rasa was the first to send someone to invite him over.

Yuzuru naturally couldn't agree to that. In the current situation, he held the initiative, and if anyone was to come, it would be them coming to him.

"I'm sorry, I still have matters to attend to at the Academy. I won't bother Kazekage any longer; let him get some rest."

After saying that, Yuzuru pretended to continue working and took out a stack of documents to begin the approval process.

Upon seeing this, Rasa immediately rushed over in person after the people from Sunagakure returned.

"Mr. Lan, I'm sorry to bother you during work hours, but there is indeed a business deal we need to discuss."

When Rasa arrived, he went straight to the point.

" Kazekage, as we just mentioned, the main purpose of this meeting is technology sharing. These are the fruits of the Academy's hard work, but considering the situation in the Shinobi World and the Academy's financial situation, we are willing to sell some of them. I wonder what types of technology Kazekage needs?"

"A freight truck, surveillance equipment, or streetlights?"

Upon hearing this, Rasa didn't waste any more words and directly stated his purpose:

"Mr. Lan, we need to purchase some Second-Generation Scientific Ninja Tool."

" Second-Generation Scientific Ninja Tool?"

Yuzuru feigned reluctance, "Well, Kazekage, it's not that we don't want to sell, the main problem is that this item isn't produced in large quantities. As you know, the power of Kekkei Genkai is inherently mysterious, Scientific Ninja Tool that can reliably utilize Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu are even more difficult to manufacture."

"Mr. Lan, we are willing to pay a high price to buy it."

Yuzuru feigned silence, then sighed:

" Kazekage, it's not that I'm unwilling, but the creation of Scientific Ninja Tool was originally intended to liberate ninjas, allowing them to spend more time with their families instead of painstakingly learning Ninjutsu. If there's large-scale trading, I worry that it will become a weapon of war, which would contradict the ideals of the Sea Region Academy."

"Mr. Lan, your Academy has already sold quite a lot to Kirigakure. Aren't you worried that Kirigakure will use these for war?"

"What we gave to Kirigakure were mostly low-impact blood-based Ninjutsu, primarily Lava Release and Lava Release used for construction."

"Mr. Lan, that's not how it works. You know the situation in the Shinobi World. There's always some kind of wariness between different countries and villages. Now that Kirigakure has these things, what are we other ninja villages supposed to think? Those are blood-stained Ninjutsu. To put it bluntly, you've personally given Kirigakure fifty blood-stained ninjas."

"Regardless of the reasons, I hope you can treat other ninja villages the same way, at least to maintain a certain level of peace. What do you think?"

Yuzuru pondered for a moment, looked at Rasa, and suddenly nodded.

" Kazekage is right; I was oversight. Here's what I'll do: I can sell you fifty sets of the same Second-Generation Scientific Ninja Tool as Kirigakure, but no more than that."

"That makes sense. Mr. Lan is indeed very reasonable."

Rasa said with a smile.

Yuzuru pretended to take out a receipt from the drawer, showing it was a transaction record between the Sea Region Academy and the Kirigakure, and handed it over.

"These are the items Kirigakure purchased last time. You can use them as a reference. Apart from this, the Sea Region Academy guarantees that Kirigakure has no other Scientific Ninja Tool. This was an oversight on the Academy, and it will be the only time the Academy sells Scientific Ninja Tool."

Rasa ignored what Yuzuru said; his mind was completely focused on the transaction agreement.

" Scientific Ninja Tool Type II, 50 units, including 20 units of Lava Release, 10 units of Lava Release, 10 units of Boil Release, and 10 units of Storm Release."

"20 large freight trucks, 20 medium-sized ones, and 30 small ones."

" Chakra- powered streetlights, 150 units."

"200 high-definition surveillance cameras."

"Total: 600 million taels, with the Daimyo assisting in the payment of 350 million taels and the Kirigakure Treasury paying 250 million taels."

"P. S.: Thanks to Mizukage Mei Terumi for assisting in the development of Scientific Ninja Tool with Lava Release and Boil Release; the price is discounted by 50 million."

Upon seeing the contents of the list, Rasa initially nodded in satisfaction. After all, the clear listing allowed him to more intuitively see what Kirigakure possessed and what they lacked.

But the final price made his face turn black instantly.

In particular, when he saw that the Daimyo of the Land of Water had assisted in paying the majority of the amount, Rasa trembled all over.

As is widely known, the relationship between the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Sunagakure is not friendly.

Six hundred million ryo is an astronomical sum for Sunagakure.

The already impoverished Sunagakure was now facing an even worse situation.
