Upon hearing this, the noble representatives all realized what was happening.
After all that talk, it turns out you just want money!
"Money is no problem; the issue is whether your Scientific Ninja Tool can satisfy us."
After thinking it through, these noble representatives immediately became smug and overconfident.
After all that talk, doesn't it all still come down to money?
What a coincidence! They lack everything except money!
"If even the Scientific Ninja Tool from our Academy can't satisfy you, then there's nothing else in the Shinobi World that can."
Yuzuru watched quietly as their arrogant nature gradually revealed itself, and offered a calm reminder.
Upon hearing this, the noble representatives immediately realized: Yes, Scientific Ninja Tool, only this one exists!
The cooperation between the two sides will be very deep; a falling out would be bad for both of them.
Seeing their silence, Yuzuru continued, "In short, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant. The rules remain the same: the Academy will not interfere with what you do, and once the transaction is complete, the money and goods will be settled."
"Alright, in that case, let's talk about the price first."
"The price is actually quite easy to negotiate. Last time, the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the Academy did a transaction, purchasing some Scientific Ninja Tool for bloodstained Ninjutsu. A single set of Scientific Ninja Tool costs ten million ryo."
"Ten million taels of silver?"
Even if your thing were made of gold, it wouldn't be worth that much money.
Seeing the displeasure on their faces, Yuzuru was not surprised.
They're used to sucking blood; getting them to spit out even a little is no different than taking their lives.
If these people had even a shred of conscience, the Shinobi World wouldn't have been in turmoil for decades.
"Gold will not allow you to use Ninjutsu, much less Ninjutsu that involves bleeding."
Yuzuru calmly retorted.
"You don't have to buy it, and we're too lazy to bother. After all, turning a perfectly good Scientific Ninja Tool into something that ordinary people can use requires a lot of work, and the time cost for the researchers at the Academy is far greater than you can imagine."
Hearing this, everyone was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do at the moment.
In fact, they possessed a great deal of wealth, and this amount of money was merely a drop in the ocean for them. However, having a lot of money did not mean they were generous; on the contrary, these nobles and famous figures were all incredibly stingy.
"What I just mentioned were ordinary Scientific Ninja Tool. As I said, yours are a special model. Considering that your physical abilities and meridians are far inferior to those of ninjas, and that you also need to be able to use B-rank or even A-rank Ninjutsu, the price of the new model of Scientific Ninja Tool will be doubled."
"What! Twice?"
"So, you mean 30 million for a single piece? Are you robbing me?"
"No, no, absolutely not! Your price is outrageous!"
"We sincerely want to buy, are you sincerely selling?"
Looking at the faces of this group of people, Yuzuru sneered inwardly, saying nothing, and just sat quietly in her chair watching them make a scene.
Seeing that Mr. Lan remained unmoved by their words, the meeting room gradually quieted down.
Finally, one of the bolder ones couldn't help but say, "Could you lower the price a bit? Thirty million for a pair is just too expensive."
"Yeah yeah."
"On the black market, you can buy the life of Jonin for thirty million."
Upon hearing this, the first person that came to Yuzuru's mind was Asuma Sarutobi.
These people are surprisingly knowledgeable about black market prices.
As expected, such underground organizations could not have existed indefinitely without the support of these people. They could also use missing-nin for their own purposes, which could be considered a means of restraining the strength of ninja villages.
"It's true that 30 million can buy the life of a Jonin, but Jonin dies, he's truly gone. Even if the owner of Scientific Ninja Tool dies, the Scientific Ninja Tool itself remains and can be passed on to the next person."
Yuzuru used words to dispel their last thought of trying to lower the price.
"In short, the newly developed batch consists of only three hundred pieces, namely Boil Release, Lava Release, Storm Release, Ice Release, and Lava Release!"
"If you buy all of these as the first batch and it still isn't enough, we will consider developing a second generation. Of course, the second generation will be better than the first, more powerful, and will further enhance our capabilities. The price will also increase."
"If you don't need them, then once these three hundred units are sold, we'll suspend research and development. After all, doing business with the ninja village is more convenient than doing business with you; at least we don't have to consider so many things when developing new models."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
It's a limited edition!
What a bastard!
"You can think about the rest of the time yourselves. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be staying next door this week, and I'll leave in seven days."
After saying this, Yuzuru got up and left, leaving behind a group of nobles and daimyo representatives looking at each other in bewilderment.
Afterwards, they left the meeting room and used their respective means of communication to explain the situation to the people behind them.
Just one day later, someone came looking for Yuzuru.
Then, one person took one-third of it.
By the time others realized what was happening, it was too late.
What's left isn't enough for them to share, and they've even started paying more to buy it.
However, Yuzuru didn't care about all that. Merchants should keep their word. After the first-come, first-served rule was implemented, he left with the money.
The rest is up to them.
Back in the Sea Capital, Mei Terumi looked at all that money and gritted her teeth, saying, "These vampires, they really have a lot of money!"
"The accumulation of hundreds or even thousands of years is no joke. Getting even a small amount of it is faster than robbing a bank."
Yuzuru said with a smile.
After depositing all the money into the national treasury, Yuzuru no longer paid attention to it.
As for the next transaction, well, that depends on his mood. Orochimaru can do it if he wants, or just give them some discarded goods if he doesn't.
Orochimaru didn't take the news to heart either. Since arriving in Sea Capital, he had never lacked funds for his experiments. He had more materials and equipment than he could use, except for a few extremely rare ones.
This money was merely experience points to accelerate the output of his experimental results.
On the other side, in Konoha.
Since Jiraiya took over, his workload has increased day by day.
For him, sitting quietly in the office handling all sorts of matters, big and small, was undoubtedly a form of torture.
Most importantly, many of these events were quite suspicious.
His subconscious told him that this was Danzo's way of disgusting him.
But upon closer reflection, given the state of Konoha now, he wouldn't still be so heartless, considering he's an elder of the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not comment on this, but simply paid closer attention to Danzo.
As for the Root, it has been almost completely dismantled.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Danzo a simple reason: they didn't have enough manpower outside.
If you can't even handle external affairs, then the existence of the Root becomes dispensable.
Although Danzo was furious, he had no choice but to obediently relinquish power.
