In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Chapter 204 Unscrupulous Merchant Behavior

Fortunately, the most important thing right now is not to talk about the ninjas of Sunagakure.

It was the large ship on the sea.

"I wonder what Lord Tianyu thinks of that large ship on the sea?"

Granny Chiyo took the initiative to push the teacup in front of her towards Tengo.

This is a gesture of goodwill.

Tianyu would naturally not refuse.

After all, Grandma Chiyo is an elderly person, and we should still respect the elderly and care for the young.

It's unclear whether it was Grandma Chiyo, an elderly woman, who loved him, a 13-year-old boy, or whether he respected Grandma Chiyo, an elderly woman in her eighties.

"The idea is simple. If they weren't sent by other ninja villages, then they must be from another force. Based on the previous situation, they should be the latter. They don't use ninjutsu, but they have armor that can absorb ninjutsu. Although this armor will kill them if this drags on, this technology is something that other villages don't have."

Tianyu said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I think too. It's just that this group of people appeared too suddenly. We don't know what their background is, or whether these samurai soldiers are their last resort. We also don't know if there are other attack methods on that big ship. Finally, what exactly is their target when they attacked Sunagakure?"

Grandma Chiyo was completely baffled.

After all, even though Sunagakure has recently suffered a disaster, it is still one of the five great ninja villages.

A force to be reckoned with.

Even if other small villages want to provoke them, they should think twice about whether they can afford to offend the Sand Village.

However, the samurai at sea instead began to attack the Sand Village, which surprised them.

Upon hearing this, Tianyu simply smiled and remained silent.

Their target was, of course, the Garrel Stone, which could instantly heal a person's injuries, replenish their strength, and even alter their constitution.

If Konoha could obtain that item, the speed at which they train ninjas would be greatly accelerated.

We should be able to acquire a group of quite good elite ninjas within at least three years.

Therefore, at this moment, Tianyu was not thinking about informing them of the situation, but rather about keeping it all for himself.

After all, if there's anything good, you should naturally prioritize your own family first.

I only think of others when I'm at home and don't need them, and of course, the more Geral Stones the better.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, you should interrogate those people first. But you probably won't get any information from them. You should send someone to that big ship to investigate thoroughly. But that's your business, it has nothing to do with me. I should go back to Konoha."

"Oh, by the way, regarding the alliance with Konoha that you mentioned earlier, I will tell Lady Tsunade to give it serious consideration. Well then, thank you for your hospitality, I'll be going now."

Tianyu said with a smile.

"Alas, Lord Tenyu!"

Granny Chiyo was in a hurry to leave as soon as she saw Tengo.

"what happened?"

Tianyu turned around, crossed his arms, and asked.

“The Sand Village doesn’t have enough manpower to go aboard that ship to conduct reconnaissance right now. If possible, we would like to ask the people of Konoha for help.”

Grandma Chiyo knew that they had no idea what the specifics of the ship were.

If we rush up now, we are very likely to encounter danger.

The Sand Village cannot afford to lose any more ninjas, otherwise other villages will come to attack it.

However, Konoha's power was preserved because of what happened before, and the First and Second Hokage are still in Konoha.

With such a presence, no other village would dare to plot against Konoha.

Furthermore, since the exchange of tasks within the village had become commonplace, Granny Chiyo wanted to entrust Konoha with investigating this matter.

"Oh, you want to help? Sure, but you can't help for nothing. What are you willing to give in return? Let's be clear, Konoha doesn't need any basic resources right now. Konoha's warehouses are already full. Plus, with the compensation you gave us before, we probably won't be able to use it all up for the next three years."

Tianyu said with a smile.

After hearing these words, Granny Chiyo swayed almost imperceptibly.

Then he looked at Tianyu with a forced smile.

"Of course, we will definitely pay. How about fifty million taels?"

Grandma Chiyo said with a smile.

This price is enough to pay for an S-level mission.

But Tengo knew that Granny Chiyo must be cursing him in her heart right now.

After all, the money and materials that were compensated to Konoha were all in his hands.

Tianyu's move not only mocked them.

It's even more like shrimp and pork heart!

"Deal. But since that's the case, instead of waiting for me to go back and bring Konoha ninjas over, I might as well handle this for you. However, the five million is just the cost of sending out the investigation. If you want me to completely resolve the matter for you, it'll cost three hundred million, no bargaining."

Tianyu said with a smile.

"This……"

The dear mother-in-law seemed not to have expected that Tianyu would ask them for 300 million yuan.

These three hundred million are the last bit of money that Sunagakure can come up with right now.

Not a single cent more.

After all, Sunagakure needs to recuperate, ninjas need to be trained, and the villagers need to eat.

Even some trade transactions will continue.

Furthermore, Sunagakure needs to apply for subsidies from the Land of Wind.

Otherwise, their villagers will probably have to tighten their belts for the next three years.

"This price is a bit too high. Could you lower it a bit? As you know, the Sand Village has already spent almost all of its funds on purchasing those supplies. The Land of Wind's subsidy hasn't come through yet, so we can't afford that much money right now."

Grandma Chiyo looked at Tengo in a consultative tone.

"Alright, I'll give you a discount, two hundred million it is!"

Tianyu smiled and agreed.

"Okay, thank you."

Granny Chiyo breathed a sigh of relief and then handed Tenyu a prepaid card containing two hundred million yen.

Tianyu, who was holding the money, smiled and narrowed his eyes.

After all, if Tsunade were here right now, she would definitely call Tengo a swindler.

After all, Tengo already knew the situation on that ship. Those people posed no threat to Tengo at all. With just Kisame Hoshigaki, he could wipe out everyone on that ship.

Furthermore, they can rely on the people on that ship to find the vein containing the Garel Stone.

They can improve a person's physical condition, heal wounds, and even be used for many other purposes.

Starting from Chapter 205, the quests from the Sand Village...

This is far more valuable to Konoha than money.

So, Tenyu has gained both benefits and face, and the Sand Village might even have to thank him for helping them solve a big problem.

This really is a case of profiting from the price difference by relying on prior knowledge.

However, if Tengo found out, he would definitely tell Tsunade in a righteous and indignant manner.

This is not the behavior of a profiteer at all.

It was, however, normal trade.

As for the veins from which the Garel Stones were eventually obtained.

That was just a reward chest he received after clearing a dungeon.

What does this have to do with the client?

"Once it gets light, I'll go to that ship and investigate their situation thoroughly. You all just wait in the village. Oh, by the way, one thing is that I don't like being followed when I'm on a mission, so the Sand Village ninjas had better stay in the village. If I find out anyone dares to follow me, I'll be very angry."

Tianyu also reminded them in advance not to follow them unnecessarily.

"Lord Tenyu, you can rest assured about that. As long as we can resolve this problem, the Sand Village ninjas will not launch an attack. However, it seems that Gaara is facing some trouble."

Granny Chiyo continued, but she seemed a little embarrassed when she mentioned Gaara.

"What happened? I remember when I brought Gaara here, he was perfectly fine. If anything happens to him afterward, it has nothing to do with me!"

Tianyu frowned as he spoke.

“That’s right, but Gaara keeps asking to see Lord Amagi. So before Lord Amagi leaves, could you please go and see Gaara? That child, sigh, it was my fault back then. Right after that child was born, I sealed the One-Tailed Shukaku into Gaara’s body.”

"Moreover, because of his status as a Jinchuriki, no one wanted to play with him since he was a child. The people around him feared him as if he were a monster, which made him develop a violent personality and treat life as a game. But now that Gaara has returned with Konoha, he seems to have changed a bit. As you know, Lord Tengo, Gaara is now considered the last fighting force of Sunagakure."

"We absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen, so if it's convenient for you, could you go and see Gaara?"

When Granny Chiyo spoke of Gaara, she was filled with deep remorse.

After all, sealing a Jinchuriki is an immense torment for a weak infant.

Gaara lost his mother shortly after birth, and even though his father, Rasa, was the Fourth Kazekage, he couldn't provide Gaara with much love and care.

Later, because of the village, he even wanted to assassinate Gaara.

"That kid!"

Upon hearing this, Tianyu sighed.

"Alright, I agree. I'll go see Gaara after I've dealt with what I'm dealing with right now. But since you're treating Gaara like a lifeline, you should treat him properly instead of continuing to use him as a weapon!"

"Otherwise, even if Gaara wanted to change, the circumstances would force him to kill."

Tianyu frowned as he spoke.

"Yes, don't worry about that. I've already given instructions. From now on, no one in the village should show any fear or apprehension when they see Gaara. As for Gaara, he will be treated like any other villager and will join the squad to carry out missions."
