Chapter 58

No matter what Nara Tomokazu's purpose was, he had to thank him for taking care of his family.

If it weren't for the 100,000 taels he sent, I'm afraid his parents would really starve.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Makoto was shrouded in gloom.

"No matter what the reason is, I will forgive you." Uchiha Makoto took out one million taels and put them on the table, "As long as you don't dance on my bottom line, I will pretend that you never cheated me."

Nara Tomokazu leaned back slightly, supporting the tatami with one hand and resting one arm on his raised knee, looking like he could hide nothing from you, and said resignedly: "Ma~ You really know it, what are you going to do next? I don't believe you will let Hinata Yuan go so easily."

"We are good teammates, and he still owes me a pair of white eyes! This is the money for buying his life, and he must get it back."

Uchiha Makoto didn't mind. He knew that the situation of this good teammate was not very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. Maybe they can cooperate in the future.

"Are you interested in hanging out with me? I'm very interested in your shadow."

"What are you kidding?" Nara Tomokazu couldn't understand what he meant. Only Uchiha Makoto could covet someone's family secrets so blatantly.

"I'm not kidding. You don't care about family honor at all, do you? All you want is to live safely, but you are a ninja. Do you think you have a chance to work as a clerical worker beside the Hokage?"

Uchiha Makoto tapped the table carelessly. He was waiting for Nara Tomokazu's most primitive reaction.

Nara Tomokazu suppressed the struggle in his eyes and retorted: "You are right, but I can go to school to be a teacher and live a stable life, but you are too dangerous."

"It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly," Uchiha had already got the answer he wanted, and stood up with a smile, "My mother invited you to dinner at home, waiting for you anytime."

Nara Tomokazu saw that he was about to leave and stood up, folding his arms and asked puzzledly: "You came to the Nara clan just to tell me this?"

"The Hokage asked me to talk to those people in the delegation about compensation." Uchiha Makoto's face was instantly covered with dark clouds, and he was itching to think about this.

"As far as I know, this matter should be the matter of the head of the Nara clan. If you are asked to negotiate, aren't you afraid that you will mess it up?" Nara Tomokazu's eyes showed a playful look, he didn't believe that Uchiha Makoto would obey obediently.

Uchiha Makoto glanced at him and had a trick that could disgust the Hokage and make people unable to find fault. No, it was a good way.

"Are you interested in making some money? I can split it 30-70 with you."

"You want to drag me down? Impossible." Nara Tomokazu widened his eyes and quickly distanced himself from Uchiha Makoto. He knew that this guy was not a good person.

"Although I have gained a lot of benefits on the battlefield, I can't spend them openly in Konoha." Uchiha Makoto smiled and slowly coaxed: "Have you ever thought about leaving here and going somewhere else?"

At this moment, Nara Tomokazu hesitated. He really didn't want to stay here any longer, but as long as he was in Konoha, he had to be in the Nara clan.

He wanted to work next to the Lord of the Land of Fire, but with his status, to be honest, he was not worthy!

"What do you want me to do?" Nara Tomokazu gave in. As long as he had enough money, he believed that he could live well no matter where he was.

"You just need to follow me and don't do anything."

"Are you so kind? Give me 30% commission and do nothing?"

Nara Tomokazu didn't even believe the punctuation marks of Uchiha Makoto's words.

"Of course, who told you to be Nara!" Uchiha Makoto smiled brilliantly.

When he heard Nara, his heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood what he wanted to do. He just wanted the name of Nara, and he really didn't have to do anything, just take the blame.

"No, 30% is not enough, I want 40%, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."

......

On the other side, Nara Shikaku, who was waiting for Uchiha Makoto, was a little annoyed. He took an Uchiha to negotiate compensation with the delegation and gave up 1% of the profit, but how could the Hokage guarantee that the Uchiha could negotiate!

"Chief, Uchiha Makoto and Nara Tomokazu are here."

Nara Tomokazu?

"Hello, Chief Shikaku."

"Chief!"

Looking at the two people coming in, Nara Shikaku greeted them lazily.

He had seen Uchiha Masaru before. When he caused trouble in Hyuga, there were probably few people in the village who didn't know him. As for Nara Tomokazu... he had no impression of him at all. Perhaps because he had just become the clan leader not long ago, he didn't pay much attention to him.

Following Nara Shikaku's gaze, Uchiha Masaru explained: "Tomokazu-kun was my teammate on the battlefield. I came to the Nara clan to take a look. The mission didn't say that I couldn't ask for help."This was unexpected. Nara Shikaku touched his chin. It should be no problem for people from his own clan. They are teammates, but for safety reasons, he still needs to inform the Hokage.

"This kind of thing is not something I can decide, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's good. Let me go by myself. I'm afraid that I will damage the friendship with other countries. I need Zhihe to persuade me when the time comes."

Uchiha Zhen smiled harmlessly. Somehow, Nara Shikaku's eyelids kept twitching. He always felt that something uncontrollable would happen.

Nara Shikaku cleared his throat and went straight to the point. "Sand ninja captured 73 people, including 3 jonin, 39 chunins and elite chunins, 31 genins, and 121 rock ninjas, including 1 elite jonin, 18 jonin, and the rest were genins."

Most genins were cannon fodder, why did Konoha still capture them? Uchiha Makoto asked in confusion, "Why are there genins among the prisoners?"

Nara Shikaku was a little embarrassed, "After the war, the village needs to be retrained. It takes several years to train a genin, and the loss of a genin is much simpler than that of a jonin."

Uchiha Makoto nodded. He didn't believe that the prisoners would be treated well.

"What about the price?"

"Fifty million for elite jonin, thirty million for jonin, ten million for elite chunin and chunin, five million for genin, a total of 635 million for Sand ninja, 1.115 billion for Rock ninja, plus one billion for each village in war damage."

The more Nara Shikaku spoke, the tighter his brows frowned. He thought this was unreasonable. If he pushed the other side too hard, they would probably counterattack or refuse to negotiate.

"Did Shikaku calculate this or did the Hokage-sama calculate it?"

Uchiha Zhen took a sip of tea, feeling that this was a fantasy. He knew better than anyone how much money the Sand ninja had, and they simply couldn't afford it.

"It was the Hokage-sama, huh?" Nara Shikaku said, and suddenly thought of something, "What do you think, Zhen-sama?"
