Chapter 598 On the Professional Qualities of a Professional Shadow-Level Secretary

Luo Sha showed a surprised expression, Ōnoki looked a little unhappy, and Terumi Mei laughed:

"It seems that the Hokage values ​​his secretary very much. He can entrust such an important matter to his secretary."

"It's just to train the secretary's ability, otherwise why bother with so much trouble."

Yan casually replied, raised his head and looked into Ōnoki's eyes:

"Tsuchikage, this is just an exercise for the people below. I hope you can understand."

I am willing to sell war supplies to your Iwagakure on behalf of Konoha, which means I have given you enough face. I just let my secretary do the negotiation. It's that simple.

If you're too concerned about your reputation and think that I'm not giving you enough face, then this matter has to end here.

Anyway, not making this money will not have any impact on Konoha. If you, Ohnoki, insist on being so picky, then go ahead.

Besides, it is you, Onoki, who is asking for help. You ask someone to buy something for you, but you still have to put on a stern face and want to save face?

I'm afraid there's something wrong with your brain.

This is a disease, it must be cured!

Good man, do you have to say such hurtful things?

The corners of Mei Terumi's mouth twitched twice, and Luo Sha stared at the ground, as if he heard nothing, because when he went to Yan privately to buy supplies, he was even more humble than this, and fortunately Yan didn't give him a cold look.

And everything went smoothly.

"......"

Being stabbed in the heart is nothing, but Ohnoki's lungs were stabbed too.

Yet he had no words to refute.

When you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. Just because you have a high status and strong strength, it doesn't mean you don't need to show your attitude when asking for help, right?

In that case, why are you asking others for help? Wouldn’t it be better to solve it yourself?

Ohnoki is a stubborn old man, and it is not easy for stubborn people to change their minds unless someone blocks their way.

That's what Yan did.

No matter whether you care about your face or not, I will dig the road first and see how stubborn you can be.

Ohnoki, with a gloomy face, was silent for a moment, coughing, and said uncomfortably:

"In that case, I will go to the cave and hope that I can gain something from this trip."

"As long as the Iwagakure is sincere, there will definitely be a lot of gains, but you should be prepared, because the things will be very expensive."

Whether you are during war or after war, the prices of war supplies are very expensive, and doubling is the norm.

Even if the war is over, it is only the war between the Mist Village and the Sand Village that is over. Your Rock Village and the Cloud Village are still fighting fiercely. At this time, everyone's belongings have been almost used up. You want to buy cheap goods, is it possible?

"Thank you for the reminder, Hokage. I dare to speak, so I am naturally prepared."

Ohnoki's expression softened. The Iwagakure needed to show sincerity, but he also saw Konoha's sincerity.

It’s a pity that his good mood didn’t last long.

"What? Five times the price, why don't you just go grab it!!!"

Ten minutes later, Ohnoki's angry roar was heard from the cave. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still startled by the sackcloth-clothed man.

The furious Ohnoki wanted to strangle the woman in secretary uniform to death. Are you doing this on purpose?

You are no longer a member of the Cloud Ninja Village, yet you come here to disgust me.

"I'm telling you, this is absolutely impossible. You're simply trying to steal someone!!!"

At this time, Ohnoki no longer cared about the Tsuchikage's self-control. He just became an angry and frustrated old man, jumping up and down.

Facing the furious Ohnoki, Mabui remained calm, took out a handwritten list and placed it on the table:

"Lord Tsuchikage, if you think the price I quoted is too high, why not take a look at this transaction list first."

What the hell?

Ohnoki picked up the list and took a few glances at it. Wow, it was a list of supplies for sale. The prices were all scary, and not much was purchased.

For some reason, after seeing this list, Ohnoki, who was filled with anger, gradually calmed down.

"I know that all villages are currently short of war supplies, especially various ninja tools, scrolls, and detonating talismans. I can accept the higher prices, but your price is too high."

The list that Mabui showed to Oonoki was all what she saw in the documents.

It is a purchase list from some small villages or other forces that came to Konoha. The supplies purchased are not much, but the price is very expensive.

Generally speaking, during special periods, the smaller the quantity of materials, the more expensive the purchase price.

Ma Buyi also specially selected some of the more expensive ones, wrote them on paper, and gave them to Oonoki to read.

As for who bought it, that has to be kept secret.

This is Konoha's confidential intelligence and cannot be disclosed casually.

"Three times, this is the bottom line I can accept."

Ohnoki raised his hand impatiently and gestured:

"The supplies that you Hokage sells to the Kazekage are also priced at this price."

It seems that someone is dishonest.

Ōnoki must have known through special channels that the Sand Village had purchased supplies, so he took the opportunity to get this secret out when negotiating the terms.

In order to gain more benefits, Luo Sha simply told the truth.

The previous secret purchases were to guard against the Mist Village. Now that the war with the Mist Village is over, the previous secrets no longer seem so important.

So Luo Sha decisively chose to exchange for benefits.

A thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand.

It's all for the benefit of the village. Ma Buyi was a little surprised that Luo Sha did this, but he showed no sign of being angry.

After thinking for a while, Ma Buyi said calmly:

"Tsuchikage-sama, tripling the price is impossible. First of all, it's a matter of time. It's been a long time since the Sand Village secretly purchased supplies. Time waits for no one, and the same goes for money."

"During this period of time, apart from Konoha, which other village would have the courage to lend you a large number of supplies?

Even if you repay it at a very high price, it will still take time.

If you can come up with cash to buy it at three times the price, I can make the decision and agree to it.

If it is a debt that needs to be repaid gradually with ore after the war, then triple the price is definitely not acceptable."

Is the Iwagakure rich?

Not to mention the Iwagakure, even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth might be penniless. He was the Daimyo who provided the most support to the five major ninja villages.

Asking him to pay now is really embarrassing.

Ma Buyi calculated that the Iwagakure had no money, so he had Ōnoki in his control.

If you buy it in cash, I can give you three times the price, but unfortunately you don't have the money.

To repay the debt in the long term, do we need to add some interest or something?

Otherwise Konoha will suffer heavy losses.

Having to pay three times the price to buy something and still have to fight with the other party to the limit, this feeling is so terrible that Ohnoki even wants to curse.

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to accept it.
