Hokage: Unable to persuade Madara, I chose to build my own ninja village.

Chapter 35 Danzo Shimura: This kind of tulip market is healthy!

"The deal's done?"

"Did I really spend a million taels in one go?"

Danzo Shimura, in a daze, pulled out one million taels of silver to complete the tulip transaction. It wasn't until the transaction was finished and the trader led him to the warehouse to pick up the goods that he finally came to his senses.

I actually spent a million taels of silver to buy a bunch of tulips!

That's a million taels!

But now it's too late to regret it, because the money and goods have been exchanged, and returning the goods and getting a refund is not very realistic. Besides, Danzo felt that he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

"Sir Ninja, these are the tulips you purchased!"

"They are all top-quality flowers, blooming in vibrant colors!"

The trader looked at the tulips in front of him and began to introduce them to Danzo. Danzo looked at the tulips and admitted that they were indeed very beautiful, but exchanging a million taels for a bunch of flowers was really too impulsive for him!

At this time, Danzo was a novice who had just entered the speculative market.

My current feelings are a mix of trepidation, fear, and excitement. In short, these emotions are hard to describe to outsiders; only those who have experienced them can truly understand.

"Master Ninja, are you going to take all these tulips home?"

"If it's nearby, we can deliver it to you for free. But if it's far away, considering how delicate tulips are, we'll have to hire professionals to transport them."

"The trading firm also has professional staff to serve you."

"Of course, if you want to store your flowers for a period of time, the exchange also offers storage services for a price. Although it's a little expensive, it's definitely worth it. During the storage period, if the tulips are damaged, you will be compensated at the original price!"

Adhering to the principle of putting customers first, the trader inquired very carefully about Shimura Danzo, demonstrating exceptional after-sales service. This is the guarantee that their tulip trading firm was able to grow and thrive in this opportunity.

"Hmm, you guys are really thoughtful."

Danzo Shimura nodded. He still preferred this kind of shop; their service was excellent, unlike those dishonest merchants from this morning!

He naturally had no intention of taking the tulips back; there simply wasn't enough room for him and Hiruzen Sarutobi to hold so many tulips.

Furthermore, Danzo Shimura had no intention of letting Hiruzen Sarutobi know that this was a solo operation by him alone.

"I've chosen to store my belongings here."

"I understand, guest."

The trader chuckled, "Looks like another tulip speculator. He's used to it. What he didn't expect was that ninjas were getting involved in the tulip business too."

The trader then revealed the figures for the tulip mania, a figure that made Danzo Shimura frown again. Expensive, damn expensive!

However, Danzo still obediently handed over the money. He couldn't turn back now and only hoped that the tulips could really make him a sum of money, even if it was just tens of thousands of taels.

After all transactions are completed.

Danzo Shimura immediately went to the tulip trading house, intending to continue his purchasing task for the day.

However, he had only been out of the tulip exchange for a short time when his heart began to pound uncontrollably, and a nameless fear arose in his heart.

"Forget it, we can put the purchasing task on hold for now. There's no rush. We'll buy everything on the list. It'll take at least a month, so one more afternoon won't make a difference."

"That's a million taels!"

At this moment.

Danzo Shimura had completely lost interest in continuing the purchasing mission; his mind was entirely focused on the tulip trade. He quickly convinced himself to change course and immediately returned to the tulip market.

Tulip trading market.

The market was still bustling with people, filled with noise and clamor, and rife with the delusions of greed, anger, and ignorance.

However, as soon as Shimura Danzo arrived at this place, his heart, which had been racing, began to slow down, and the inexplicable fear gradually disappeared. He suddenly realized that he really liked this place. The traders here were so nice to talk to, and coming here felt like coming home!

"Ninja-sama, why are you back again?"

The trader who had just served him saw Shimura Danzo wandering around the market and thoughtfully went up to ask him what was wrong. An excellent salesperson should never miss any opportunity to make money.

"Oh, I didn't have anything to do this afternoon, so I just came here to look around."

As Shimura Danzo said this, he naturally couldn't tell the trader in front of him the truth—that his heart would race and he would feel flustered as soon as he left the tulip market, and that he could only relax here.

"Oh, I see."

"Master Ninja, why don't you go sit in that room over there?"

"The room not only offers complimentary tea, but also displays the market price of tulips. This was created by several important figures and a group of wealthy merchants. Currently, the prices are updated daily, and in the future, they might be updated every half day, or even every few hours."

The trader immediately saw through Danzo's thoughts; he'd seen many customers like this. However, he didn't point it out. Instead, he thoughtfully recommended that Danzo go to the other room so that Danzo could drink tea while observing price trends.

"Mmm. Thanks for reminding me."

"You're too kind, Ninja. If you'd like to buy tulips again next time, please remember to give me your priority."

Danzo Shimura nodded in agreement, after all, this trader was really considerate.

He also didn't expect the tulip market to provide such attentive service, with daily updates on tulip prices.

As a ninja, he was very sensitive to information gathering, and he was well aware of the difficulty involved. Those big shots seemed to have a lot of power!

Danzo didn't think much of it and went straight into the room not far away.

Once in the door

Danzo saw a huge blackboard, which not only showed today's tulip prices but also drew the recent price trend of tulips, which was almost a wave-like increase. Not long ago, there was a price explosion, which doubled in one day, and then it steadily fluctuated upwards.

Even though tulip prices briefly dropped, they almost immediately returned to their original price the next day.

"This kind of market is so healthy."

After Shimura Danzo's analysis, he came to his own conclusion. Then, when the others in the room saw that a new person had arrived, they also began to gather around Shimura Danzo.

A group of speculators gathered together, doing nothing but analyzing how great the market was, and bragging about how much money they had made.

Before long, Danzo joined in with remarkable ease. He was new to the market and felt extremely insecure!
