Chapter 329: You can do anything, but don’t play tricks

"Eighty, no less."

"Thirty, that's the number, no more, no less. For me, the result is the same whether I change it or not.

I don’t like things that are outdated, at most I can sell them to the village and earn some money to buy materials to make puppets.”

"Chiyo, I can tell you that the number will not increase. It will be just thirty. If you are willing to trade immediately, if not, just pretend we never discussed it."

Jingyi was too lazy to argue with Chiyo and said that thirty was thirty, not one more.

Love can’t be changed.

The firm tone and hard bottom line made it impossible for Chiyo to bargain.

Change?

Not changing?

"So nice to work with."

The two sides stared at each other for a long time. After confirming that Jingyi really had no intention of backing down, Chiyo could only grit her teeth and give in.

"Pleasant to work with."

Jingyi smiled and assured, "I am a person of integrity, so the puppets used for exchange will not have any problems. It doesn't matter whether you use them for your village or for experiments."

"I also hope that your village will not hide anything. If I find out that the things you trade are defective, or if you deliberately hide any important intelligence secrets, I will come to you personally to ask for them, and I will also provide compensation."

If you don't want me to come to your house and cause trouble in person, then just be sincere and straightforward.

Don't make yourself uncomfortable.

Others don't dare to go to someone's house to ask for an explanation, but I, Hinata Shizuka, dare to do so.

I can also force you to give me a proper explanation and offer compensation.

So if you want to have any bad thoughts, be mentally prepared first.

Facing Jingyi's advance warning, Chiyo's mouth twitched, and he said with a dark face: "The village will not do anything that goes back on its word, so you can rest assured."

"It better be."

Will you not go back on your word?

It’s up to you whether I believe it or not!

If you didn't have such thoughts, why would you look so unhappy?

Who is this gloomy face for?

I've been on guard against you for a long time.

If you dare to play tricks on me, I will go straight to the Sand Village to seek an explanation.

In fact, Chiyo really had some hidden ideas, but unfortunately, before she could do anything, she received a warning from Jingyi.

He hid something and went to Jingyi's house to ask for an explanation.

Faced with the two choices, Chiyo immediately gave up the idea of ​​hiding it.

Happy trading.

Both sides got what they wanted.

"I exchanged a storage scroll for a bunch of scrolls. Did I lose or gain?"

In order to show his sincerity, Chiyo also gave away a lot of experience and knowledge about controlling and making puppets for free. Jingyi also waved his hand and gave Chiyo an extra puppet.

So he received a large number of scrolls.

According to the previous agreement, Jingyi directly asked the people from the Hokage office building to take the scroll away.

As for what they do next, Jingyi doesn't care, as long as they don't swallow up his share of the money.

I believe that the Third Hokage would not dare to take this money, but just in case, Jing Yi will send someone to keep an eye on it and check the accounts regularly.

I won't give the Third Hokage any chance to take advantage of me.

Even though someone was watching and checking the accounts regularly, the Third Hokage was still able to find loopholes. Jingyi can only say, you are awesome!

In the following days, Chiyo and the Third Hokage continued to negotiate the conditions for the release of the prisoners. After all the conditions were agreed upon, Chiyo left with the envoys and the prisoners escorted back to Konoha.

The terms have basically been agreed upon.

But the Third Hokage couldn't be happy.

Because Konoha cannot get any direct benefits, the benefits given by the Sand Village are all long-term gains.

The most disgusting thing is that in order to obtain this benefit, Konoha still needs long-term maintenance and investment.

For example, if Konoha and the Sand Village release prisoners to each other, as the party that suffers the loss, the Sand Village is willing to send a team of puppeteers to Konoha to help those in Konoha who want to learn puppetry.

The Sand Village can also send a group of puppet-making craftsmen to Konoha to help Konoha make puppet parts, but the Sand Village needs to take a share of the income. Although it is not much, it is also cutting into Konoha's meat.

In addition, Konoha needs to provide good food and drink to the people sent by the Sand Village, and also pay them wages.

After discussing all these messy conditions, it would be strange if the Third Hokage could be in a good mood.

I'm unhappy, but I can't refuse. It's so painful.

If it weren't for the fact that many civilian ninjas in Konoha began to use puppets to improve their strength and boost the village's financial income, the three Hokage would not have wanted to waste their breath talking to Chiyo.

"The reserve for pensions, rewards for returning combat ninjas, and other funding are all waiting for allocations from the Ministry of Finance."

It was still the Hokage's office, the same people, and the same internal high-level meeting.

The Third Hokage had a huge headache.

After Mitomon En finished his report, Jingyi coughed, suppressed his laughter, and said:

"The development funds for the Anbu have not been distributed yet. I wonder when the Hokage's office will approve the money and distribute it?"

Today's high-level meeting can be summed up in one sentence: they want money! They still want money!!

The injury has improved, and Utane Koharu, who came to the meeting with injuries, also said: "The medical department needs to expand its scale and also needs some funds."

Other departments need money, and the medical department needs to keep up.

At least give some bonus to the people in the medical department.

After all, the medical department made a significant contribution during the war, and the medical ninjas who went to the front lines alone required a large bonus, not to mention other miscellaneous items.

"Ahem, the Jonin team..." Nara Shikashin spoke with a strange expression.

But before he could say that, he was interrupted by the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage, whose mind was already in a mess, looked tired. He now got a headache when he heard the word money.

Even though the village's finances have eased, it still needs money from everywhere.

If things continue like this, it would be strange if the Ministry of Finance does not collapse.

"The funding for the jonin team will be eased for a while." The Third Hokage's words made Nara Shikako feel depressed.

Nara Shikashin had no choice but to sit down.

Just ease up for a while, as long as you give it enough time.

"The logistics department's supplies are also slow to replenish."

After some consideration, the Third Hokage decided to postpone the replenishment of supplies:

"Men Yan, the war is over. There is no need to rush to replenish the logistics department's supplies. You can give priority to other departments. I hope you can understand me."

"Okay." As the right-hand man of the Third Hokage, Mizuto Menen is very reasonable.

Because what the Third Hokage said was correct, the war was over, and as long as there was no shortage of supplies in the logistics department, there was no need to replenish them right away, and they could take their time.
