Never Seen Such Beauty
Upon hearing the explanation of the ore's origin, Watarito became even more enamored with it. The look in his eyes as he gazed at the fragment of the "star" revealed only one thought.
Like finding a treasure
This was the material he envisioned for forging the sword.
"No problem."
"I will absolutely do everything in my power to forge the best knife for you."
The Watarito's expression was extremely serious and solemn.
It's safe!
A happy smile appeared on Miya's face, while on Kazuki's face beside him, the smile was as bright as a flower.
After nearly an hour of friendly negotiations where both host and guests enjoyed themselves, it was agreed that in addition to the ten million taels for construction costs, Miya would also need to spend another ten million taels for other materials.
Although the amount of money spent was enormous, Miya was not worried about it; he only cared about one thing.
When will I receive the forged knife?
At the entrance of the Gyohei Ninja Tool Shop, Miya, who had paid six million ryo for the forging fee, was personally escorted to the door by Kazuki.
"Mr. Kazuki, I'll be going now."
"I will deliver the remaining balance in two months, and I am also very much looking forward to Master Watarito's new works."
Turning to look at Kazuki, Miya, with a smile on his face, took his leave.
"Okay, we look forward to your next visit."
No sooner had Kazuki finished speaking than Miya disappeared before his eyes.
Having left Takumigakure directly, Miya had already figured out how to earn fourteen million taels within the next two months.
Such a large sum of money would be extremely difficult for an ordinary ninja to come up with.
But this does not include Miya.
Because Miya was no ordinary person, he didn't need to worry about the money at all.
Heading east.
More than 100 kilometers away from Takumigakure, there is a small town that is the most famous in the Land of Artisans.
Iron Town.
A small town built on a depleted iron ore vein.
However, Miya's destination was not here, but a valley a few kilometers away.
One of the hideouts of the Underground Exchange.
In the ninja world, every country has its own Underground Exchange operations, and the Land of Artisans, with its special status, is no exception.
The signpost for entering the Underground Exchange is also easily identifiable.
A toilet, a toilet built in the wild.
As one of the largest underground forces in the ninja world, it is involved in a series of highly profitable Underground Exchange, including intelligence trading, murder and arson, and wanted manhunts.
Its hideout is actually a toilet, this...
It's hard not to complain.
"Found it."
Miya, perched on a treetop, looked at the toilet ahead and silently murmured something to himself before disappearing from the treetop.
"Call out."
When Miya reappeared, he was already standing at the entrance, and through Transformation Technique, he had become someone else.
To avoid revealing his identity, Miya transformed into a strikingly handsome man, while also concealing the iconic accessory worn by Konoha Ninja.
Konoha Ninja Forehead Protector.
After passing through a long, dark tunnel, a large wooden door appeared before Miya.
A gentle push.
Crack... Squeak...
The jarring sound of the door opening drew the attention of everyone else in the Underground Exchange.
"So handsome..."
As Miya, having undergone the Transformation Technique, stepped through the gate, his magnificent appearance was revealed to others for the first time, causing everyone present to share the same thought.
I have never seen such a perfect and magnificent face.
