Watching Sunagakure leave, Yuzuru could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.
God knows how excited Rasa was when he heard that there was oil.
Admittedly, the existence of Chakra in the Shinobi World can be said to have disregarded many physical rules, allowing the technological level of the Shinobi World to experience a leapfrog growth.
Simply put, it means being able to skip the steam age and go directly to the electric age.
Energy efficiency is always paramount. While electricity may not be the most perfect energy source, it's close enough, with an astonishingly high utilization rate.
However, some places still require high-purity energy sources like oil, such as warships.
What he wants to do is to acquire all the oil within the Land of Wind.
Of course, this isn't robbery, it's just a transaction. Whether it's fair or not is another matter; all we can say is that the current understanding of the Shinobi World is commensurate with the suffering they've endured.
Once the world is unified in the future, there won't be as many opportunities, because everything in the Shinobi World will belong to him, and there will be no place to steal or cheat.
After waiting for a while, Yuzuru heard the noise outside, but she wasn't surprised at all.
Subsequently, the Fourth Raikage A and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki arrived here together.
The hatred between the two men and their two villages was so deep that it was ingrained in the very marrow of each of them.
Seeing this, Yuzuru didn't say much, only that as a ninja, you should just accept it. How can you expect to enjoy peace while exploiting civilians? What kind of pipe dream is that?
What's going on with you two?
Although she felt disdain and even disgust, Yuzuru still feigned surprise and asked.
"Mr. Lan, I'm here to talk to you about that Second-Generation Scientific Ninja Tool."
Ai stated his purpose directly.
"Me too, Mr. Lan. Could you perhaps sell us a portion?"
Ōnoki didn't interrupt at this moment, looking at Yuzuru with a serious expression.
"You're also after Scientific Ninja Tool?"
Hearing this, Ai and Ōnoki were not surprised at all, after all, they knew perfectly well what had happened when Rasa came in.
It's obvious even to a fool that it's for new Scientific Ninja Tool.
The people on the field aren't fools; only they themselves know how many times they've tripped each other up.
As the Kage of each village, they could immediately recognize the value of this Scientific Ninja Tool, Bloodstained Ninjutsu. It was a true weapon of mass destruction, an instant-cast Ninjutsu without hand seals—that's how authoritative it was.
After all, no matter how strong the ninjas in the Shinobi World are, one thing will never change: when a person is killed, they die!
Ninjas aren't made of bronze or iron; on the contrary, they're all made of flesh and blood. If you had to say, they'd just have more training in Taijutsu than ordinary people, and their physical abilities would be slightly better.
Given the chance, a single Kunai, an Explosive Tag, or even a C-rank Ninjutsu could kill them.
Looking at it this way, you'll see that the instantaneous Ninjutsu without hand seals is truly as authoritative as it gets.
The last person who knew this kind of Ninjutsu was Minato, who made the Minato.
Combined with the Flying Thunder God, it's truly Shinigami's harvest; a mere graze will injure, a direct hit will kill.
Even if you Hand Seals first, you might still get pinned to the face by a dumpling the next second.
Turning passivity into initiative—that's the difference between hand seal techniques and other forms of Ninjutsu.
It's also the perfect choice for the underhanded tactics used on the battlefield!
Yuzuru looked at them, said nothing, and handed the list to the two of them.
"This is?"
"The list I gave to Kirigakure not long ago is something His Kazekage also wanted to buy, but... he said Sunagakure doesn't have enough money and it will take two days for the formal transaction to take place."
Hearing Yuzuru's words, Ōnoki and Ai both found it amusing.
Although they are all the Kage of their respective villages, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are not like Sunagakure.
"If they can't even come up with this much money, I think Sunagakure is going downhill."
Ai made a sarcastic remark, then picked up the list and looked at it.
"Take, take less? Six hundred million!!!"
You're robbing me!
Ai immediately slammed his hand on the table.
Ōnoki, who was standing to the side, did not rush to speak, but instead observed Yuzuru's attitude.
He wanted to figure out what the Academy was thinking.
Six hundred million is indeed a lot of money. Although they can come up with it, it will definitely be a major financial blow.
"This is way too expensive!"
Ai couldn't help but say.
"The value of Bloodstained Ninjutsu is self-evident. If that's all the Raikage has to offer, then there's nothing I can do."
Upon hearing this, Raikage was momentarily speechless.
He hadn't expected that Mr. Lan wouldn't care at all.
"Mr. Lan, if the price could be a little lower, we could buy more; after all, we're all in business."
Ōnoki spoke at the opportune moment.
" Tsuchikage, first of all, you've misunderstood something. The Sea Region Academy is not a for-profit organization; we are merely an academy. The reason we're willing to sell these things isn't because of you, but to prevent war."
"Prevent war?"
" The Kirigakure has fifty Scientific Ninja Tool. Do you know what that means? It means that at least thirty Chunin Jonin have mastered instant-cast Ninjutsu without hand seals. If war breaks out, do you think your regular Jonin would be a match for them? Be careful, you might suddenly die without warning."
"The reason Kirigakure chose to close its borders is because of our request. We are well aware of the value of these things and the consequences they bring. Therefore, to prevent Kirigakure from disrupting peace, we, along with the Daimyo and the Mizukage, jointly negotiated the policy of national isolation. The Land of Water is already separated from the Shinobi World, so the isolation will not affect any other country, and it is supervised by our Academy."
"At least, we can guarantee that Kirigakure will never initiate a war."
"However, things don't always go as planned. Some people within Kirigakure couldn't contain their ambitions, because Scientific Ninja Tool, and the help they provided, allowed Kirigakure's economy to recover rapidly."
"Therefore, after careful consideration, we've decided to sell you the same things that Kirigakure possesses. This way, they won't become arrogant because of these things, and at the very least, they'll have some reservations."
"No matter how skilled a ninja is, if they are ambushed, they will die. Scientific Ninja Tool this ability and this deterrent power."
"As long as every country possesses this, war will become more complex. The more considerations there are, the less likely war will break out, because the uncertainty is too great. This is how we prevent war."
"However, to prevent the balance from being broken, we will only sell these fifty Scientific Ninja Tool, and they will be exactly the same as the fifty Scientific Ninja Tool from Kirigakure. In this way, there will be neither bias nor disruption of the balance."
Yuzuru looked at the two of them and said.
"If that's the case, then the price shouldn't be high at all. Since it's for the sake of peace, the price should be lower."
Ai said immediately.
"Low price? Raikage, you've misunderstood something. It's not that we're begging for peace, but that you need this peace. Spending money now is buying security for yourselves."
