————————————————————-

Everyone is buying, and those who pay first have to wait for the others?

This is not what the Cloud Village wants!

The Cloud Village urgently wants to obtain this information worth fifty million ryo, not drag things out.

After some consideration, Tsuchi made a decision on his own.

“If any of you need it, I can represent the Raikage and lend you the money, as long as you write an IOU.”

With an IOU in hand, there’s no fear of the other party defaulting!

Even if they do default, the Cloud Village doesn’t care.

They can always use force to collect the debt, and perhaps even gain some extra benefits in the process.

The Cloud Village is currently at its peak, with plenty of manpower and resources. What they lack is just an opportunity to take action.

Whether they choose to borrow money or wait, Kazuki doesn’t care.

This is a matter for the Rock Village, Sand Village, and Mist Village to consider. It has nothing to do with him or Konoha.

All he needs to do is get the money and then hand over the information.

It seems the Cloud Village is eager to obtain this information and hopes the others will owe them a favor for borrowing the money.

“The Sand Village will have the funds sent from the village.”

Chiyo wouldn’t fall for this trap. Favors are hard to repay.

She would rather wait a few days than owe the Cloud Village a favor.

Once a favor is owed, the Cloud Village might use it as leverage to pressure the Sand Village.

“We are also willing to wait a few days.”

The Rock Village and Mist Village also stated their position. They would rather wait than borrow money and owe a favor.

After all, once the message is sent back, their villages can immediately send the money. It’s just a matter of waiting a few days. Why owe a favor?

Moreover, the Cloud Village’s favors are not easy to repay.

“That’s truly a pity.”

Tsuchi expressed deep regret.

“In that case, let’s discuss this matter again after the funds from the Rock Village, Sand Village, and Mist Village arrive.”

From Kazuki’s attitude, it was clear that Konoha wouldn’t sell the information separately. There was no point in secretly contacting Kazuki, so it was better to leave straightforwardly.

“Agreed.”

Representatives from the other villages also got up and left.

Everyone left without hesitation.

Kazuki was in a good mood after making a profit.

Shisui and Kakashi were a bit confused.

Information that was supposed to be shared for free had just been sold for a huge sum of money?

Konoha was currently short on funds, and this money could be used for many things.

Tsunade would surely be pleased.

“Shisui, write a report and send it back to the village, informing the Hokage about this matter.”

“Yes, Elder.”

There were still a few days before the actual exam began, so the information purchase could be settled before the exam started.

As for what actions the Cloud Village, Sand Village, Mist Village, and Rock Village would take against the Rain Village and the Akatsuki, that was none of his concern.

The Akatsuki?

You like to stir up trouble, right? Then keep dancing. We’ll provide the music and watch you perform.

With the five great villages rushing to the Rain Village, let’s see how you handle it!

Will you resist fiercely? Or will you hide?

Although Kazuki was grateful that they helped him eliminate Koharu, he still had to cause trouble for the Akatsuki.

If you like to cause trouble, then let’s do it together. The more, the merrier.

Kazuki wouldn’t give the Akatsuki time and opportunity to slowly develop and accumulate strength.

Sooner or later, they would be on opposite sides, so it was better to strike first.

In addition to the five great villages, many small countries and villages were also invited to come and watch the show.

These invited countries and villages didn’t dare to delay and immediately sent people to the Cloud Village.

“Hiss~~~ Kazuki, this kid, is quite something. He just made a huge sum of money out of thin air.”

Tsunade looked at the scroll, counted the amount on her fingers, and then excitedly stood up.

The repeated provocations from the Akatsuki, along with Koharu’s death, had thoroughly angered her.

Relying solely on Konoha to deal with the Akatsuki wouldn’t be very effective unless Konoha was willing to start a war.

Starting a war was out of the question, and targeting them privately wouldn’t achieve much, so she decided to make the information public and let the other villages join in.

Let’s see if the Akatsuki can withstand it!

This was Tsunade’s original intention. What she never expected was that Kazuki would pull off a clever move by selling the most crucial information instead of sharing it.

This accidentally earned them a fortune.

It could alleviate the village’s financial shortfall.

Shizune happily said.

“Hokage-sama, this money can indeed ease the village’s financial strain. Kazuki did an amazing job.”

“Ahem!”

Tsunade proudly crossed her arms. “Of course, just look at who picked him.”

“….”

Hokage-sama, are you serious? Wasn’t your original intention to share the information for free?

Selling the information was Kazuki’s idea, and he didn’t even seek your approval, yet you’re acting proud.

It doesn’t seem like you had any part in this.

Under Shizune’s slightly disdainful gaze, Tsunade’s expression became a bit awkward. She waved her hand and said.

“Stop looking at me like that. Quickly send them a message. Tell Kazuki to go ahead and do as he pleases. If anything goes wrong, I, Senju Tsunade, will take responsibility.”

“….Yes.”

Konoha acted quickly, and the other villages weren’t slow either. Before all the guests had arrived, the funds from each village had been delivered.

Even the financially strained and poorest Sand Village sent the money as quickly as possible.

The only downside was that Rasa would have to use his Magnet Release to mine in the desert again.

Despite this, Rasa didn’t ask too many questions about why Chiyo spent so much money to buy this information. He simply handed over the money without hesitation.

Even if it meant tightening his belt further.

The information exchange took place in the Raikage’s office, witnessed by Raikage Ay, to prevent Konoha from playing any tricks. After all, fifty million ryo was no small sum.

Kazuki wanted cash, but fortunately, the bills in the ninja world had large denominations. With ten-thousand-ryo notes, fifty million wasn’t too bulky.

It could be counted quickly.

Shisui and Kakashi never imagined that one day they would become money counters, their eyes blurring from counting so much cash.

“Elder, the amount is correct.”

After the money was counted and confirmed to be accurate, Kazuki took out four scrolls and handed them to the representatives of the four villages.

Raikage Ay immediately grabbed a scroll and opened it.

“This old man want to see what kind of information gives Konoha the confidence to sell it at such a price, and to multiple villages at that.”

Given Ay’s age and status, referring to himself as “this old man” in front of Kazuki wasn’t out of place.

But this self-reference made Chiyo frown slightly.

She, the old lady, hadn’t even spoken yet, and Ay was already calling himself “this old man.”

Fortunately, Chiyo didn’t take it to heart. Right now, the information was more important.

Since Konoha dared to sell it this way, it meant they could verify on the spot whether this fifty-million-ryo information was worth the price.
