Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 33 Shimura Danzo: Hiruzen, you will definitely regret it!
"Danzo, you're not planning to start a tulip business, are you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo Shimura who looked excited in front of him, and guessed what he was thinking in just a moment.

"This is a business that can easily earn you millions of taels. Aren't you tempted?"

Shimura Danzo said this.

For a ninja at his current level, the reward for each mission is only a few hundred thousand taels, and even this needs to be shared with the team members.

Getting a million taels of reward for a mission can be considered as becoming rich overnight.

Now the opportunity to get rich overnight is right in front of you!
Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight?
Faced with such an opportunity, who can resist?
"Hmm. This number is really exaggerated."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he swallowed his saliva.

Several million taels of silver was also an astronomical figure for him. Who doesn't like money?

"Right, now that such a good opportunity is right in front of us, it would be too great if we don't take advantage of it."

"And Hiruzen, have you forgotten the test from Lord Tobirama? If we can make a fortune from this, even just one or two million ryo, it will be enough to let Lord Tobirama see our abilities!"

The radicalism and adventurousness in Shimura Danzo began to emerge. He wanted to learn about the tulip business. If he could really make money from it, that would be great!

Of course, this is not just for money. The most important thing is that he wants Senju Tobirama to look at him differently as soon as possible, and then recognize his abilities. Eventually, he wants to become Senju Tobirama's disciple!

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel hot in his heart as he listened to what Shimura Danzo said.

The picture drawn by Danzo is indeed very tempting, and just thinking about it makes Sarutobi Hiruzen excited. He earns a lot of money, makes Lord Tobirama look at him differently, and becomes Lord Tobirama's disciple. Even his own father praises him. This is too cool!

But after a brief thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself to suppress his greed and regained his sanity.

His father had told him to be careful in everything he did, and that ninjas should do what ninjas should do. They only needed to consider how to complete the task efficiently.

As for business, this is not an area where ninjas can interfere at will.

It would be a joy to make a lot of money from such a business, but what if you lose money?
then.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo seriously and said, "Danzo, we are ninjas. This kind of thing is not something we ninjas can interfere in casually."

"If you can make money, that's a good thing, but what if you lose money? There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world."

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's advice, the fire rising in Shimura Danzo's heart was like being poured with a bucket of cold water. He became much calmer, but he was still obsessed with the tulip business. He wanted to make progress too much, wanted Senju Tobirama to look at him with admiration, and wanted to become Senju Tobirama's disciple too much!
"But Hiruzen. We..."

"No buts, Danzo, I absolutely disagree with your idea. Our most important task right now is to purchase all the supplies on the list. There's no need to create unnecessary complications."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very firm in his own opinion and flatly rejected Shimura Danzo's proposal.

"Huh, you're so stubborn!"

"Hiruzen, you're going to regret this!"

Intellectually, he admitted that Sarutobi Hiruzen was right.

The most important thing now is to complete the task of purchasing supplies assigned to them by Lord Tobirama and his father. They must avoid any complications if possible. However, emotionally, Danzo Shimura hates the attitude of Sarutobi Hiruzen when talking to him now, so he yells at Sarutobi Hiruzen loudly to express his dissatisfaction.

To this
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care.

He's standing up for the right thing!
The atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward for a moment, and neither of them said a few words until the end of the banquet.

After the banquet, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were arranged by the daimyo to rest in the accommodation. The task of delivering the letter had been completed, and the remaining task was to purchase supplies, which was a hard task, so the two of them went to bed early.

The next day.

Even though there was a small conflict between the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo still got up early and went shopping for supplies together.

The first step is procuring the raw materials for making soldier pills. These are the most common consumables for ninjas, capable of quickly restoring chakra, or temporarily serving as rations. As ninjas, carrying a few soldier pills in their pockets is the bare minimum once a mission begins.

"This face is a bit unfamiliar. I'm going to rip them off."

The boss looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo in front of him, who had young and unfamiliar faces. They looked like young ninjas who had just emerged from the ninja clan and could be killed.

"My two ninja masters, what would you like to buy?"

"The raw materials for making Bingliang Pills. We need a large quantity. Probably..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, emphasizing that the quantity required was large, and his meaning was very clear: I am a big customer, and you have to give me a preferential price!
"Oh, then you've come to the right place. Last year, there was a flood in the northern part of the Fire Country. That's the main production area for the raw materials for the Bingliang Pills, and they suffered heavy losses. It's not easy for other stores to meet your large demand."

Then the boss reported a number.

After hearing the offer, Danzo Shimura, who was still in a cold war with Hiruzen Sarutobi, became furious and took out the shuriken he carried with him and pointed it at his boss.

"You profiteer, you dare to raise the price like that? Do you really think I'm an ignorant newbie who doesn't know the market?"

"According to your price, we will have to pay at least two million taels more!"

"Fuck it, I'm going to kill you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held down Shimura Danzo's hand with one hand, signaling Danzo to calm down. This is the capital of the Land of Fire. There will be no good results if you cause trouble here.

Realizing that the ninja in front of him was not easy to deal with, the boss smirked. He did raise the price a little bit, but it was not as exaggerated as Shimura Danzo said. He only made an extra profit of about one million taels. Because the main production area of ​​the materials for the Hyōryōmaru was indeed affected by the flood, the price began to rise this year.

“Young people are just irritable.”

"If you are not satisfied with this price, we can continue to negotiate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen used his unique skills and cut the boss's offer in half.

Then the boss's face darkened.

He now felt that the young man in front of him was here to cause trouble. The ninja world has never been peaceful in recent years, with all kinds of open and covert fighting and fighting. The raw materials for the military ration pills are in short supply and are difficult to sell.

“How can this be possible at this price?”

The boss shook his head and reported another number, then Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other man shook their heads again, and they reported another number. After repeating this many times, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi talked until their mouths were dry in order to bargain.

Danzo was even so anxious that he almost took out his shuriken again, but the boss refused to give in. This is the capital of the Land of Fire. Which ninja dared to take action here?
After so many years of doing business, he realized that Shimura Danzo only dared to wave the shuriken for show.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo still shook their heads.

They both felt that the price could be lower. When buying something, one must compare prices from different stores. They could try another store!
"Hurizen, that profiteer's last offer just now earned us at least an extra 200,000 ryo. That's more than enough for me to go on a mission."

"Assholes! I risked my life on this mission, and these businessmen can make money just by talking.

Shimura Danzo kept complaining.

Generally speaking.

A qualified and calm ninja would not say it even if he knew that the daimyo nobles and businessmen lived a life of luxury and made money easily. But Shimura Danzo was still a young man and had not been blunted by reality.

He just feels now.

Mudd!

Still doing business to make money.
