Naruto: The will of fire has nothing to do with my Uchiha

"'Amber Purifier Bottle' won't work. Let's try another one."

Although he said no, the topic went smoothly. The Raikage could at least use this to confirm that Sasuke also knew that the target of their discussion was the 'Box of Paradise'.

"Of course I can't buy the Amber Purifier Bottle. Even if you, Raikage, add the Golden Rope, the Palm-leaf Fan, the Seven-Star Sword, and all the other bladed tools, I still won't trade it. I think the price is too cheap."

A low-fidelity electronic sound "Duang!" rushed out of the speaker, followed by a long and sharp beep, which made the ninja in charge of the equipment next to the speaker tremble (fearing that it would break and his bonus would be deducted). Through the screen, one could hear the desk in front of the Raikage calling for help.

"What did you say?! Those in our village are all Six Paths Ninja Tools!"

"What a coincidence! I also have the Six Paths Ninja Tools~"

The most fearful thing about this meeting is that one's own people don't inform in advance. Tsunade can only pretend to be calm. Not to mention that Sasuke knows everything about the treasures of Kumogakure (it's better to keep such things secret), knowing that it is something related to the Six Paths Sage, but still taking it out for a trade? He is as stupid as her great grandfather, the Tailed Beast.

"Oh, so what do you mean? Not all slightly powerful ninja tools can be called 'Six Paths Ninja Tools'."

"As an Uchiha, you should know about this kind of thing!"

"Simple. Isn't your village a perfect Jinchūriki? If the deal is settled, you can bring Killer Bee to inspect the goods. The Eight-Tails will definitely know if it is something from the Six Paths."

...The perfect Jinchūriki is the perfect Jinchūriki, but that doesn't mean the Eight-Tails has to obey the orders of the Raikage. To ask it for help, you have to ask Killer Bee to say something nice, but it also shows that Sasuke is sure of the thing. Let's talk about it. Anyway, when the time comes, one hand will pay the other hand, so it's good to find out more details. No matter what, you have to trick out the appearance and function of this thing.

"Let's talk about something practical."

"gold."

"How much do you want."

"Five thousand tons."

"What, how much did you say!?!"

The shock on the Raikage's face was not concealed at all.

"That's right. It only costs 5,000 tons of gold. It's a good deal. It comes with instructions and includes logistics."

"Hey! Are you kidding me?!"

Sasuke also found that something seemed to be wrong. The shock on the Raikage's face was not the joy of having gained an advantage, but rather a bit of anger. Looking to the side, Tsunade's expression also had an indescribable complexity.

"...So, you haven't seen the 'Box of Bliss' yet."

The Raikage stopped being angry and the conference room fell into a brief silence, as if he agreed to Sasuke's question.

Sasuke knew that the Five Great Nations were just like that, after all, they were limited by the times, but he didn't expect that the two ninja villages, which theoretically should have valued intelligence capabilities, would actually be so lame in this matter.

"Are your intelligence departments slacking off?"

Perhaps there is a "very small chance" that there are spies from other countries on the Kizuna Island that he destroyed, and that they have also learned about the information of the "Box of Paradise". However, this is just intelligence that Hinata can get at a glance. The mortals on the Kizuna Island are sealed and have no ability to resist, and there is not enough income to maintain the daily expenses of the large-scale barrier. It is estimated that Tsunade has excluded Hinata from this task, and kept telling him not to bully the Hyuga family. As a result, when he sits in the position of Hokage, he still has to be on guard against Hinata's peeking.

What can be done.

Sasuke directly projected the "Box of Paradise". There was nothing worth keeping secret.

"It's a cube with a side length of more than six meters, hollow in the middle, and weighs about 400 tons."

"Let's not talk about the fact that this is a ninja tool left by the Six Paths Sage, and let's not talk about what function it has. Even if it only contains one percent of chakra metal, according to the current market price, let alone five thousand tons of gold, even eight thousand tons would be worth it. Don't think my price is too high."

Over at Kumogakure, the Raikage's bodyguard Xi, who was off-screen, took the data given by Sasuke and quickly calculated the approximate market price to make an estimate. There were so many zeros after the number that even he, a jonin, had the illusion that he was under an illusion. He then handed the result to the Raikage.

Assuming that what Sasuke said was true, the estimate given by Xi was indeed worth tens of thousands of tons of gold in terms of the value of the materials alone, not to mention the immeasurable added value of the Six Paths Ninja Tools. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to increase the value several times or even dozens of times.

The Raikage's anger subsided a little, but he still didn't treat Sasuke well.

"If what you said is true, why would you sell it at such a low price? Tell me the truth about your conspiracy!"

"With a large amount of chakra metal flowing into the market at the same time, the price will naturally fall. Add in the wholesale discount and the profit margin left for you, I think this is still reasonable."

"Of course, if the Thunder Nation launches any unfriendly actions against us in the future, including but not limited to military attacks, planting spies, etc., I will not rule out the possibility of taking it back directly after the transaction."

"I can guarantee the authenticity of the 'Box of Bliss'. As for other potential problems, that is not something I should consider."

"Buy?"

If they have become warring parties, all kinds of counterattacks are naturally not excessive. As for Sasuke's words about "after-sales compensation issues caused by poor storage of goods in this situation", the Raikage just ignored them as nonsense.

To make a decision, the Raikage does not need to think for a long time, and the reason is very simple.

"I can't afford it. Even if I sell the Land of Lightning, I won't have that much gold."

The word "poor" was spoken with great force. Not to mention gold, even printing paper money, such a huge amount of money, at the current face value, might be something that could not be done.

"Gold, silver, copper, iron, anything is fine. It's not limited to gold."

"Even if converted into the lowest value of iron, it would only be 80 million tons."

This kind of thing shouldn't have been considered by the Raikage. He wasn't a brainpower type of ninja. However, due to power constraints and equipment load, this remote meeting could only last a limited time. The Hokage Tsunade was still waiting on the other side. He couldn't just say, "We're going to have a small meeting here first. You guys from Konoha can wait a moment."

The Raikage racked his brains and came up with a solution that he thought was worth considering and seemed reasonable. Not to mention, the replacement of gold with iron, even though there was an extra "ten thousand" after the number, was easier to accept.

"Eighty million tons of iron? The Lightning Nation doesn't even use it. It will take at least 20 years to accumulate it!"

"How about the mining rights in the Land of Thunder? I can grant you the mining rights to select five mines in the country. You can arrange for people to mine as many mines as you want."

The abacus beads were almost stretched on Sasuke's face. It was so funny. When has the ninja world ever lacked minerals? The land is vast and the resources are abundant, but what it has always lacked is manpower. Not only Sasuke couldn't hold it, but the atmosphere at both ends of the camera became awkward at the same time because of what the Raikage said.

“I don’t want the mining rights.”

"According to your current steel production capacity, it may take 20 years, but you can also expand production capacity, and promote employment for ordinary people. I allow installments over 2 years, and only charge an ultra-low interest rate of % per year. Only more than million tons can be exchanged for a Six Paths Ninja Tool. How about it?"
