Haru quickly received the news from Onoki. He had already expected this.
However, he wouldn’t do something as strenuous as working with Iwagakure.
Therefore, his attitude was very firm. We, Akatsuki, will not participate in the war. This is the bottom line!
But we can spend money to redeem people!
Is fifty million ryo enough?
Just a little bit of a head, send the person back, and you can bring fifty million back, and then win Akatsuki’s friendship.
Is there anything more profitable than this kind of business?
Onoki didn’t do anything and just made a profit of fifty million ryo. Did he still not satisfied?
Of course he was dissatisfied!
Because Onoki was even more greedy!
Since Akatsuki valued this treasurer so much, he had to find a way to squeeze out more benefits.
However, the other party’s attitude was also very firm. They either took the money to release him, or they scattered and turned to Konoha!
After weighing for a long time, Onoki still decided to accept it, so he agreed to take the money for a change, but fifty million was not enough, at least a hundred million!
This was really a lion opening its mouth and asking for a hundred million!
But who asked the other party to be so stupid as to give him fifty million as soon as they came up? According to the rules of the martial world, if they doubled their meeting, wouldn’t it be a hundred million?
In this regard, Akatsuki’s people seemed to be very angry.
As the leader, Haru also sent people to scold Onoki many times.
However, Onoki seemed to be sure of them, sitting on the fishing platform and not letting go even if he was beaten to death.
Finally, after a fierce negotiation, on behalf of Akatsuki, Haru agreed to the ransom of Iwagakure for eighty million ryo.
Was this a loss?
This was simply a huge loss!
However, when this news spread, the entire capital of Akatsuki boiled over.
Because today, Yone-sama was willing to spend eighty million ryo to save his own people. In the future, when he was in danger, he would never be easily abandoned!
There were two sides to everything. Since there were people who felt that he was too stupid, there would naturally be people who would admire this kind of ‘idiot’!
This time, without Haru sending people to guide public opinion, his tall and straight image was once again established, and it spread even more widely.
Even many people from other countries could not help but put themselves in his shoes. If it was him, would anyone be willing to pay eighty million for saving him?
If he was the leader of Akatsuki, would he really do this?
There were two possibilities, and the answer was at ease in the heart.
For a moment, Akatsuki Village had become a place that many people yearned for.
To be honest, this was something that even Haru did not expect at first.
But since there was such an unexpected surprise, of course, he could not just pretend that nothing had happened, so he had someone add a fire to it.
He used all kinds of ‘rumors’ to spread the words that he had once said.
For example, he would never give up any of his people.
Those who offend me, Akatsuki, will be punished even if they are far away!
Life is precious, love… Ahem, this is not a smooth talk.
In short, it completely set off his great image, and even had a bit of sadness.
Iwagakure, who had suddenly become a backdrop, was naturally a little unhappy, especially Onoki. He felt that he had been tricked. All of this was premeditated!
But he couldn’t think of which segment had gone wrong.
Finally, he could only sourly curse on a small fox, and actually played this trick.
…
The day of the agreement between the two sides would soon arrive.
Onoki originally didn’t want to come here personally, but the other party played with him too beautifully, which made him a little more interested. So after hearing that this leader Akatsuki would come personally, he also came.
“I didn’t expect that such a small matter would actually alert Tsuchikage-sama. It is really unexpected.”
As soon as they met, Haru couldn’t help but mock him first, which was very consistent with the dissatisfaction he should have at this time.
Sure enough, Onoki didn’t doubt anything and just retorted with a smile, “After all, the younger generation is formidable. There is actually such a way to win people’s hearts. It really makes us old seniors a little amazed.”
“Old bastard!”
“Little fox!”
The two of them looked at each other and cursed in their hearts.
“Let’s make a deal. Don’t waste any more time.” Haru said with a proud and arrogant attitude.
In fact, he was worried that something might happen later, so he had to quickly complete the most important step before he could be at ease.
“This is eighty million ryo from the underground black market. Where is he?”
After Onoki saw this, he didn’t hesitate and used his eyes to signal the person next to him. Then, he immediately squatted down and hit the ground.
Kakuzu, who was sealed in the rock and mud, immediately emerged from the ground.
Then the two sides cautiously began to move at the same time, examining people and checking money.
When everything was confirmed, Haru was ready to take Kakuzu, who was staring at him fiercely.
But at this time, Onokisuddenly said, “Wait a minute!”
Haru’s eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he said in a cold tone, “Has Tsuchikage-sama gone back on his word? Or does he want ‘money’?”
As soon as these words came out, the people brought by the two sides immediately entered a tense state of battle, with swords drawn and bows drawn.
However, Onoki seemed to not see it, squinting his eyes and saying, “Young people nowadays are too impatient. A mere eighty million ryo is not enough to compensate for the reputation of the entire Iwagakure.”
“I just want to add some more chips on the basis of this transaction to see if Yone-sama is interested.”
Before his voice fell, another Rock Seal was summoned. Opening it, it turned out to be the unconscious Guren!
Onoki had been paying attention to Haru’s eyes and said, “This woman is our Iwagakure’s rebellion. In order to take revenge on the village, she did some things that would make people angry. Including the people who died in your organization and the chief of the finance department, it was this woman who did it.”
“In order to show the friendship between us, I can use a cheap price to put this woman in this deal. After that, whether you kill or cut her, you can do whatever you want. How about it?”
Unconsciously, Haru’s face under the mask showed a sneer.
This old fox would not be so kind as to do this kind of thing. He guessed that the reason why Onoki suddenly played this trick must have aroused suspicion, so he wanted to test him.
Once he fell into the trap, the plan would inevitably fail, and a fight was inevitable!
Moreover, the threat of Onoki’s Dust Release was too big, even Susanoo could not resist it.
But Onoki looked down on him too much.
