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

After he finished speaking, the Raikage noticed that the atmosphere was obviously a bit weird, and realized that he might have said something wrong.

Sasuke was still talking about the "installment plan". At the same time, Xi handed him a small note from the side, but what was written on it was not what he expected.

"Do you want pure gold with three 9s?"

"Correct."

"Silver is..."

"Silver is pure silver with a purity of three 9s, copper is red copper with a purity of three 9s, and iron is pig iron with a purity of more than 90%."

The strange feeling of familiarity made the Raikage take a breath, and he instantly understood what Xi meant by asking him this question.

This is a trading standard that has only appeared in the country of thunder in the past two years. It is based on barter, especially refined metals. The intention is obvious, which is to replace paper money as a trading medium. There is also a little price difference to be made. In the commodity trade, some merchants are happy to accept this trading model. However, due to the difficulty of transporting and storing metals, other metals are difficult to be involved in this "retro" trading form except for gold, which has always existed, resulting in a very limited spread. It can't shake the basic situation, so the Thunder Shadow only knows about it and does not intervene.

The one leading this trend is the Inoue Chamber of Commerce, which is growing rapidly in many countries.

Considering the time when "Inoue" showed up, as well as the news that Konoha was attacked and Sasuke left the village, it is hard not to think too much.

The business was obviously profitable and this happened to him today, so the Raikage was alarmed.

"Since it is an artifact left by the Six Paths Sage, as long as it can be properly used in the future battle, it doesn't matter whether it is in the hands of Kumogakure or Konoha."

"I'm right, Tsunade."

"Ha~ When did the Raikage learn to be polite?"

Seeing that the Raikage did not take Sasuke's bait, Tsunade wished she could use this as an excuse to stop the topic. No matter what traps Sasuke had in his plan, it was always good to not have the good things taken away by the enemy.

Seeing that the two Kages were trying to skip the topic in unison, Sasuke decided to try harder.

"Seventy-five million tons of pig iron."

The opening word directly deducted more than one year's worth of steel output from the Land of Thunder.

Wow, this Sasuke really wants to sell himself.

At first, the Raikage only asked a few more questions in order to gather some information.

Not to mention such a large sum of money, metals are related to people's livelihood, production and construction, how can he just open his mouth to finalize it in such a meeting. Even if he is the Raikage, even if he doesn't care about the Daimyo's feelings, he still has to ask the Minister of Economic Affairs for professional opinions to avoid any inconsiderateness. He has one meeting, two meetings... God knows how long it will take to reach an agreement.

"Uh, cough."

"Sasuke, if you really want to take action, why not go to the Land of Lightning after the battle and discuss this matter. At least you should see the real 'Box of Bliss' first before you can make a judgment."

"Well, what the Raikage said is right. We have nothing else to ask about the matter of the Ghost Lantern City. Sasuke, you can go down."

Sasuke's face was full of dissatisfaction at having his business interrupted, but after all, this was not a live broadcast specifically for him to sell goods. To save face for Tsunade in front of outsiders was also to save face for himself, so he gave the camera back to the two Kage to continue discussing other things.

The main purpose of this meeting was very clear, which was to arrange for the two Chūriki, and to transfer them to an absolutely safe place to avoid being dragged into the battlefield. However, since we were talking about it, there were naturally updates on the unusual movements and organizations on the front line, the new bases being prepared, the next steps...

It was over after just over ten minutes of waiting. The conversation between the two figures was relatively simple and convoluted, and such a long-distance video conference itself would not last too long.

The official ninjas began to dismantle the video equipment, and Tsunade took Sasuke to the rooftop of the Hokage's office building.

"What exactly is the 'Box of Bliss'?"

"Just think of it as a cage for a tailed beast. It's no big deal."

"The Tailed Beast?! There's something in the box? Are you planning on letting this thing run rampant in Kumogakure?"

Tsunade strongly disapproved of this kind of internal strife in the face of danger, and it really destroyed Konoha's reputation.

"Not really. If the Raikage bought it, I would definitely tell him clearly in advance. Besides, the Eight-Tails can handle it."

"Can you handle the tailed beast inside?"

"I can only say that guys like the tailed beasts can be dealt with."

"Can the 'Box of Elysium' be used against the Ten-Tails?"

"Don't even think about it. They're not on the same level."

"Then you shouldn't just consider selling it to Kumogakure."

"Does Konoha want it? For your sake, I can even give you a discount, in exchange for 70 million tons of pig iron or raw materials of equal value."

"There are tailed beasts in there. Compared to the information I just told the Raikage, isn't that a better deal?"

Of course it is not justifiable to sell more to your own people and make more profit, so Sasuke does not like to do business with his own people and waste internal energy.

"?! You ask me, I..."

"How does that tailed beast compare to the Nine-Tails?"

"The current Kyuubi, Kyuubi will be stronger."

"Yes, it can't be any cheaper. This price is not even the cost price."

"You just stole this thing, what's the cost of it?"

"Why did you have to sell this thing? Tell me the truth."

"I need a lot of materials for construction, but I'm short of manpower. There will be casualties in the war, and prices will definitely rise across the board. If I don't sell now, it will probably take one or two years after the war is over, and you won't be in the mood to buy."

Although he seems very excited, the Raikage cannot decide this matter. Can Tsunade make the decision?

Sasuke knew what would happen next, and since Tsunade had not mentioned using the currency of the Land of Lightning to complete the transaction, she naturally guessed what might happen. Although they were facing a small war, they only needed to fight, and the things they had to consider were much simpler than governing a country.

She is already secretly thinking about how to deal with this mess and then retire gloriously. She doesn't intend to consider the bigger mess that may come later.

Konoha is such a big pit. You see it every day. No matter who becomes the Hokage, it will be a tough one.

"I can't help you with this."

"If you insist on this price, you won't be able to sell it anywhere. There is no place in the ninja world that can produce so much steel now."

"That's right. Since you are my master, how about 40 million tons of pig iron? Half the original price."

Sasuke said the discount without any advance notice, which really caught Tsunade off guard, but it was useless to be tempted. Even if Sasuke gave a 1% discount, he couldn't afford it. The steel production of the Land of Fire is not much better than that of the Land of Lightning...

Not to mention, if the discount is really 10%, there might be some room for negotiation. The Fire Nation has suffered for three or four years, and if one more tailed beast appears, they can no longer live in reinforced concrete houses and can only live in wooden ones. This is not a big deal.

But obviously with such an outrageous price, wouldn't it be nice for Sasuke to just use the "Box of Paradise" as a decoration?

"After you deal with the guy who calls himself Madara, you can sell it to whoever you want, but at your price, I don't think it's possible."

"Is it really that big? Can the Sealing Scroll fit in it?"

"It's more than six meters. If you want to see it, I'll show it off when I get a chance. It's really inconvenient to use if it's too big."
