Chapter 6 - Business

"Are you going to war?"

"Mr. Sieg, war is not just defined by a word," the 3rd Hokage said, taking another puff of smoke and shaking his head.

"If we decide to fight with Hidden Cloud Village, we may need to consider other factors."

"Of course, I know there are many aspects to war"

Sieg nodded in agreement and said that he knew the war was not quite that simple.

"Hokage-sama, let's talk business"

"What do you mean, business?"

Suddenly the topic shifted to doing business, and the 3rd Hokage stared with surprise. They had just been discussing whether or not to go to war with Hidden Cloud Village.

From Sieg's shadow emerged a large humanoid figure with 2 blood-red eyes. After grabbing a chair for Sieg to sit on, it then quickly disappeared back into Sieg's shadow.

Several Anbu ninja shot into the Hokage's office, staring at Sieg intensely while on guard.

When that shadow creature came out from Sieg's shadow, Hiruzen didn't even notice it was there, if it hadn't been for the chair moving on its own then he wouldn't have taken notice of the creature. Now if that creature wanted to harm the Hokage...

"No need to be so worried, this ghost is under my control."

Sieg sat calmly, crossing his fingers like a professional businessman.

"Lord Hokage, let's talk business!"

Sieg didn't give didn't feel any pressure from the anbu in the room.

He has full control of the power within him, he has also picked up several techniques over the years which are mastered. so he had no reason to feel pressured or afraid.

The 3rd Hokage watched Sieg quietly for a few moments, then waved at the Anbu, forcing them all to retreat.

Hiruzen forced all the anbu out of the office, not because he was certain that Sieg would not try to harm him, but because he believed in his strength. If he could be assassinated so easily, then he would have died long ago 3rd Hokage forced the group of Anbu to retreat not because he was confident Sieg. If he could be assassinated that easily, then he would have died long ago

"If I win the war between you and the hidden cloud village, you will pay me, how about it? it is a good offer" Sieg replied.

"Oh? Win the war?"

The smoke rising from the pipe obscured the 3rd Hokage's gaze.

"For the time being let's not talk about whether you can even win the war, but what you would want as a reward for your efforts."

What does he want? some Jutsu scrolls, maybe genjutsu? or is it the Sharingan?

The 3rd Hokage had many speculations, he even considered the 9 tails Jinchuuriki as something sieg would want, he can never be certain to what sieg could want

He knows little about Sieg, so it's impossible to judge

however...

"money!"

While the 3rd Hokage was speculating intensely, Sieg gave a response that made Hiruzen confused

"what?"

The 3rd Hokage thought that his ears might be malfunctioning.

he wants money in exchange for winning a war between 2 large villages? are you kidding me?

"I said the reward I want for winning the war between you and the cloud village is MONEY!"

Sieg leaned back and looked at the 3rd Hokage with calm eyes.

"Lord Hokage, don't be surprised, there's nothing in Konoha that interests me, so all I want in return for my troubles IS MONEY!"

A/N: DAYUM, what an insult

In reality, sieg doesn't need money, for him, money is just a number, not a value.

Over the years he has burnt, killed, and robbed, he has made plenty of money from justice, and the wealth he gained from the ghost kingdom made him even richer.

At first, he thought the ghost kingdom was just an alternate space that could contain people and other things.

A/N: kinda like a storage ring in wuxia novels

Sometime later, did he learn that the Ghost Kingdom was a kingdom, that had mountains, rivers, flowers, and forests

Even the gold veins under the ground and in mines already counted as an astronomical amount of wealth, and since the ghost kingdom is in his possession, naturally all that wealth belongs to him

Because of that, Sieg isn't lacking in money, Sieg is not lacking money at the moment.

the reason he was asking for money in exchange for winning the war, was just so that he can have a good reason for having fun in the hidden cloud village😈😈😈😈

I came to buy some land so that I can set up a shop there from Hiruzen, and since I said that money wasn't a problem for me, this greedy old man milked me like a cow😭😭😭, now that I have the chance to make all that money back, why would I lose it?

Even though I have money to spare, I do not like to lose money!

"As for whether I can win the war for you guys, let us put that aside for now..."

The corners of Sieg's mouth curled up slightly, and a very humble smile hung on his face.

"As long as Lord Hokage pays me, let alone winning the war, I'll screw of the raikage's head and use it as a wine glass for you"!

"..."

"Mr. Sieg, sometimes it's better to not bite more than you can chew!" The 3rd Hokage said while smoked a cigarette

he felt that Sieg was bragging too much, it's not a good habit to brag at such a young age!

"I know Lord Hokage might not believe me and think I'm bragging, but I'm not exaggerating in the least!"

Sieg smiled and shook his head, then said, "since that's the case then I'll let you experience my strength for yourself"

"Mr. Sieg, are you sure you want to do this?"

The smoking action of the 3rd Hokage paused. Were young people these days always this crazy!? Could it be that since I am getting older everyone sees me as just another old man that sits in an office all day doing paperwork?
