Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

The pile of corpses at the entrance of the village had almost been cleaned up, and the old village chief also had a bandage wrapped around his head. With the support of two young men, he came out and politely invited Asma, Dilu and others into the house.The group sat down in the main room of the village chief's house, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got down to business.

"Cough cough..."

Asma raised her hand in front of her mouth, coughed, and said, "Guys, let me introduce myself first. We are ninjas from the capital of the Land of Fire. My name is Asma Sarutobi. This is mine. Companion Jilu, and these two, Mr. Fujiwara and Mr. Hojo... We are entrusted by Mr. Daimyo of the Land of Fire to discuss some matters with you."

The old village head sat on his knees at the side of the table, bowed slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Old Fu Tianfang has met several adults, I wonder what is the purpose of your visit?"

For the head of a small village, the reputation of the fire country daimyo can only be described as thunderous.

Therefore, when facing Asma and others, the voice of the old village chief seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Asma and the other three looked at each other and said, "Then let's get straight to the point. Not long ago, we heard from a businessman in the capital that a mine was discovered near your village. Your lord is very concerned about this. I am very interested in this mine, so we came here this time to buy this mine and entrust you to help mine this batch of ore, and the price is negotiable."

"really……"

Bai Mingyu sat cross-legged beside him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The situation was similar to what he had guessed before.

The discovery of the Chakra conduction metal mine near this village has been spread by the villagers in the village and the business groups. As the capital of the country, it is naturally impossible to be ignorant of this.

It's just that I didn't expect that this news would reach the ears of the fire country daimyo, and the latter actually took a fancy to this batch of chakra conductive metal.

As for the purpose...

Presumably it is to strengthen one's own centralization and dominance.

Although the daimyo is the nominal supreme ruler of a country, the number of ninjas in his hands is actually very small, even in the most powerful country of fire among the five major countries.There may be a lot of troops in the hands of the fire country daimyo, but most of them are ordinary people and samurai, and the number of ninjas is not many, and the ones who can get it are responsible for the security of the daimyo's mansion. Guardian Ninja Twelve".

Although the strength of the Guardian Ninja Twelve is not weak, it is insignificant compared to a ninja village like Konoha with thousands of ninjas.

And things like chakra conductive metal are useless to people other than ninjas...

Then, the reason why the fire country daimyo took a fancy to this batch of metal ores is clearly revealed.

……

"This one……"

After hearing what Asma said about his visit, the old village head hesitated for a moment, hesitant to speak, and his eyes drifted towards Bai Mingyu subconsciously.

"how?"

Asma, Dilu and the others also cast their gazes over. Before that, they all thought that Bai Mingyu was a junior in the village, or even the grandson of the old village chief. They didn't realize the situation until now. It seems to be different from what I judged before.

Facing the gazes of several eyes, Bai Mingyu also coughed, cleared his throat, and said slowly:

"I'm sorry, I have something to tell you in advance. Before you arrive, I have accepted the entrustment of this village to help them guard the mine and defeat the enemies who came to attack. And the reward for this entrustment, It is the batch of ore mined from the mountain. So... if you want to buy this mine, you can only ask it back."

"what?!"

The complexions of Asma and the others all changed.

"……you?"

The two people dressed as nobles glanced at each other, one of them straightened up, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Bai Mingyu scratched his head, and took out the fake name he had made up before: "My name is Esdes, and I am a wandering warrior."

"Wandering samurai?"

The nobleman who spoke was surprised at first, and then he sneered, and after a few seconds, his face suddenly sank, he slapped the table hard, and said in a stern voice: "Presumptuous!

A mere wandering samurai dares to bargain with us here. Do you know who the person sitting in front of you is? ! "

Bang!

When the nobleman slapped the table, Bai Mingyu didn't feel anything. The old village chief next to him was startled, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

The speaking nobleman glanced at the old village chief, and seemed to be satisfied with the momentum he created, his tone slowed down a bit, but he still said sternly: "Esdes, right, you have to take care of yourself." Think about it clearly, we are here to discuss this matter with you under the orders of the Fire Nation Daimyo! You are just a nobody, don’t you want to go against the will of the Daimyo-sama!"

"..."

A moment of silence.

Asma and Dilu glanced at each other and opened their mouths, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't make a sound.

After several seconds, Bai Mingyu slowly raised his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Have you finished?"

"Ok?"

"Sit down when you're done talking, anyway, I won't give up this batch of ore easily."

After Bai Mingyu finished speaking lightly, he even took the time to pick up the kettle on the low table, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip slowly.

This calm look was seen by the nobleman, and the latter was even more furious.

"Okay, it seems that you are really determined to fight against us, Asma, kill him for me!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Master Fujiwara, please calm down..."

With a cigarette in her mouth, Asma sat at the table carelessly, without even raising her eyelids, and said casually: "If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk about it, don't get angry so casually, if you delay it because of your impulse I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the responsibility of accepting the entrustment of the daimyo."

After all, Asma was in her twenties. Of course, it was impossible to turn her face on the spot and lose her self-worth because of Fujiwara's angry words.

not to mention……

Asma's identity is still a little different. If it is another member of the Guardian Ninja Twelve, it may be really difficult to disobey Fujiwara's order, but for the second son of the third Hokage, it is different, no matter how different Give Fujiwara face, and the latter dare not do anything to him.

Sure enough, Fujiwara just glanced at Asma angrily, with a gritted expression on his face, "Okay, then what do you say!"

"..."

Asma was silent for a while, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then looked up at Bai Mingyu: "Since your Excellency is a wandering warrior, you must also know what the ore in this mine is for. Daming’s entrustment comes here, and this mine is bound to be won. If you have any conditions, you might as well ask them to have a look, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I think Mr. Daming will agree.”

Bai Mingyu secretly said, "Here we come".

Of course, he wasn't bored, deliberately stood up and made trouble with this nobleman.

Although I don’t have much interest in the daimyos of the Land of Fire—judging from the brief scenes in the original book, these so-called daimyos and nobles seem to be a group of guys who are addicted to pleasure, even at the moment when the Ninja World War is imminent, they are still entangled For such trivial things as how to name the newly made medal...

But Bai Mingyu is also very clear that after all, the daimyo is the supreme ruler of the entire country of fire, and the decrees issued by him are not only effective for the army of the country of fire, but also have a great influence on Konoha and Hokage, so when it is not necessary Now, it is definitely not a wise move to offend the other party.

but……

If this mine was acquired by the fire country daimyo, it would be almost impossible for Bai Mingyu to get a share of it.

But now, since Asma said so, it means that there is room for mediation in the situation.

All that remains is to negotiate the terms.

Bai Mingyu took a deep breath, and while looking at the expressions of the people opposite, he said slowly: "First, I want [-]% of the Chakra conduction metal mines mined from the mine."

Hearing this, the two nobles had expressions of resentment on their faces.

"This is impossible!"

Fujiwara objected immediately.

Although they just arrived here, they don't know how many chakra conductive metal mines there are in the mine, but [-]% is definitely not a small number. Even if it is only a dozen kilograms, its value will reach tens of millions. Then give up.

Asma also took down the cigarette in his mouth, flicked the ash, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it won't work. You want too much. The output of chakra conductive metal mines is very scarce, so the value is extremely high. We It is impossible to cede half of it to you... For the sake of helping to protect this village and prevent this batch of ore from being looted by the ninjas of the Tinker Country, if only part of it is given to you as a reward, I will I don’t think the daimyo-sama would mind.”

"Part of it?"

Bai Mingyu looked at Asma.

The latter hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with Lu Lu, and said, "Yicheng, this weight is enough for you. After all, it is impossible to cast all of a ninja tool with chakra conductive metal, and it needs to be mixed with chakra conductive metal." into many other metals.

In addition, we will pay you and this village [-] million taels as a fee for buying this mine. There are many destroyed houses in this village, and those wounded also need medical treatment. You can use this money to settle them. "

"..."

……

While bargaining in the house.

on the mine.

The torrential rain that had been raining for several hours gradually subsided, and as night fell, the miners hiding in the mine came out one after another, stepping on the muddy water and walking around the shed.

One of them picked up a sickle from the ground, and said to his companions: "The rain has stopped, let's go down the mountain and have a look, we don't know what's going on down the mountain... If Lord Estes can't take those If the foreign ninjas are driven away, our village may be in danger, everyone should take up their weapons and go down the mountain to help."

The other villagers nodded one after another, walked over quickly, and picked up mining picks, hatchets and other things from the ground.

At this moment,

One of the villagers suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed it fiercely in the chest of another person beside him. His action was so sudden that the other person was stabbed in the heart without any precaution. The heart-wrenching pain came down, and the latter fell back onto the ground clutching his chest, blood gushing from between his fingers, with an expression of disbelief all over his face: "Junxiong, you..."

The person who did it was Toshio Saeki.

At this moment, the expression on Saeki Toshio's face looked very ferocious, he gouged out the man viciously, and then quickly rushed towards the woods ahead.

Facing the sudden change, the other villagers have not yet reacted.

After a few seconds, a few burly villagers came out and shouted angrily: "Junxiong, are you crazy! You even killed people from your own village, what do you want to do!"

Saeki Toshio turned a deaf ear, and rushed into the woods like crazy, his eyes turned around, and soon caught Marutetsu's body, and rushed over with a stride.

Maru Tetsu's body has been cut in half, obviously dead through.

After that, I was drenched in the heavy rain for more than half an hour, and even the blood was almost drained.

Toshio Saeki rushed directly to his upper body, knelt down and grabbed the armor on the latter, and then tore it apart with all his might.

Maru Tetsu was wearing a silver-gray armor, which looked like it was made of ordinary steel, which was inconspicuous. In the previous battle, he was cut in half from the waist by Bai Mingyu, which did not have any defensive effect. So Bai Mingyu didn't notice this thing before.

But now, after Toshio Saeki pulled off Marutetsu's armor forcefully, he inserted the dagger in his hand into an imperceptible crack on the side of the armor without hesitation!

next moment,

A dark red light like blood slowly escaped!
