"Moreover, the price is not low, so everyone can consider whether they need to purchase it or not. Of course, although the price is expensive, I believe that this piece of information is worth the high price."
Not only will I charge, but I will also charge a high price!
Whether you buy it or not is up to you; I won't force you.
"Oh."
Ay, who hadn't paid much attention before, suddenly found it interesting. Leaning on the table, he asked curiously:
"So, how much is the information that Konoha wants to sell worth?"
Among the five great ninja villages, the Cloud Village is the wealthiest.
For Ay, as long as the information benefits the village, spending money to buy it is no big deal.
As for sharing it for free...
Konoha has already shared a lot of information about the Akatsuki for free. If even crucial information were to be shared, it would be too greedy.
Everyone would love to get it for free, to take advantage of Konoha, but no one wants to be the first to step forward.
"Fifty million ryo!"
Kazuki raised his hand and gestured.
Shisui, standing behind him, couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had seen the scroll sent by Tsunade.
Tsunade's intention was to share all the information, using everyone's hands to deal a blow to the Akatsuki organization.
But Kazuki held back the final piece of information, intending to sell it.
He asked for fifty million ryo right off the bat.
Fifty million ryo per village, and with the five great ninja villages excluding Konoha, that's four villages. Selling this information would definitely ease Konoha's financial situation.
The question is, would anyone buy it at such a high price?
"Tch~~"
As expected, Ay sneered, and representatives from the other villages shook their heads.
The price was too steep. If it were a few million ryo, they might consider it, but fifty million?
Not a chance.
"So, Konoha is that desperate for money? Selling a piece of information for fifty million ryo, and to multiple villages at that! What a clever scheme."
Chiyo, expressionless, voiced everyone's thoughts, 'Although I am also curious about information that could affect the ninja world, this price is too high.'
"Indeed."
Representatives from the Rock and Mist villages nodded in agreement. They were interested in the information, but the price was too high.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they felt it wasn't worth it.
What if they paid the money and the information turned out to be unsatisfactory?
Would they ask Konoha for a refund?
Once money is spent on information, getting a refund is nearly impossible.
If Konoha insists the information is worth the price, what can you do?
"The price is indeed high, and I understand your concerns. But since I can represent Konoha here, I dare to guarantee on behalf of the village that this information is absolutely worth fifty million ryo. If none of you are willing to pay, then let's just forget I mentioned it."
After all, the information is worth the price. Whether you buy it or not is up to you; I, Uchiha Kazuki, won't force you.
Daring to guarantee on Konoha's behalf that the information is worth the price?
What kind of information could give you such confidence?
The representatives from the villages didn't say much, but they all took note of this.
Next, it was time for Ay and Tsuchi to take the stage.
This joint Chunin exam, as expected, was specifically organized by the Cloud Village to show off their strength.
However, this was the first time a Chunin exam was conducted this way. In the past, at most, they would tinker with the Genin exams.
In addition to the five great ninja villages, many smaller villages were also invited to participate.
Using these smaller villages to highlight the strength of the five great villages.
This time, however, the Cloud Village excluded the smaller villages, keeping the Chunin exam among the five great villages. Smaller villages weren't qualified to participate.
Fortunately, the Cloud Village didn't lose their minds despite their strength.
Although they didn't invite the smaller villages to participate in the exam, they did send them invitations to come and watch as spectators.
You're not qualified to participate, but you can watch!
Watching the show can also be enlightening, right?
Indirectly, it serves as a warning, reminding these smaller villages to maintain a sense of awe.
Don't mess with the five great villages, especially the Cloud Village.
The Cloud Village was confident about their joint Chunin exam, and Ay believed their ninjas could outperform those from other villages.
When Ay had said enough and was tired, the meeting was essentially over.
Mostly, it was the Cloud Village informing the other four villages about the exam's details. Whether there would be any tricks involved, only the Cloud Village knew.
To be fair, if another village were to organize such a joint Chunin exam, adding a few tricks would be understandable.
After all, they would want to take care of their own people to avoid losing face.
Imagine your village hosting a Chunin exam, only for ninjas from other villages to take the top spots while your village falls behind, or even ends up at the bottom. It would be embarrassing.
Honestly, whether it's a Genin or Chunin exam, the content is pretty much the same.
It's just that the difficulty level is higher.
Even if the Cloud Village wanted to play tricks, they would need the capability to pull it off.
"Ask whatever you want."
Back at their residence, Kazuki glanced at Shisui, who seemed hesitant.
"Yes."
Shisui lowered his head slightly and voiced his confusion,
"Elder, the Hokage's order was for us to reveal all the information about the Akatsuki, to draw the attention of the villages to the Akatsuki and even the Land of Rain. But now..."
"Hahaha..."
Kazuki couldn't help but laugh, patting Shisui on the shoulder,
"Shisui, you need to understand that the village is currently short on money. If there's a chance to make some, why let it go? Do you think the villages won't pay for the final piece of information?"
Shisui instinctively wanted to nod, but he stopped himself.
If he had nodded, it would have been tantamount to opposing Kazuki's decision.
"Remember, sometimes things given for free aren't necessarily appreciated. Instead, people might suspect we have ulterior motives or hidden agendas. But if they pay for it themselves, even if they feel cheated, they'll accept it willingly. Human nature is complicated. Don't be fooled by the lack of interest from the village representatives. I'm sure they'll soon come knocking, wanting to buy the information."
Free? No way. We can only sell some information to make ends meet. Kazuki wouldn't give away information for free.
At least not the information about the Rinnegan—that had to be sold.
Tsunade wanted to support him in taking the position of Hokage's advisor. Without some notable achievements, how could he sit in that seat?
As the saying goes, human nature is truly complex!
For example, if you need something, and you have the money to buy it, but you act indifferent, trying to bargain, and the seller eventually agrees to a lower price.
You would naturally pay for it without a second thought.
But if the seller offered it to you for free, would you take it?
You'd probably suspect that person had some ulterior motive.
Or that they were trying to harm you.
