Chapter XVII: 2nd transaction

After arriving at the Hokage's office, except for Tsunade who didn't show up, there were still Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu, and Mito Uzumaki.

"Allen-san, I took the liberty of inviting you here, because I have something to discuss with you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was very courteous, but there was no other way.

Konoha did not have so many medical ninjas, to save the lives of the injured, Allen's medicine was necessary, it turned out that with Allen's medicine, the survival rate of the injured increased by 50-60%.

With this effect, Konoha can conserve his vitality in war without taking heavy casualties.

"I understand, Third Hōkage, but I can't leave it on credit I paid a sum of money for the medicine last time, if I can't collect the funds this time, I won't be able to sell medicine to your village in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to find someone else."

Allen reluctantly told Sarutobi Hiruzen that instead of listening to them gossip in circles, he might as well clarify the words directly.

Credit and drug prices are the bottom lines, these two points are impossible, even if it is to take things as collateral, otherwise, Allen would prefer to finish the transaction between the two parties, this is the bottom line if the result can be easily broken, then after that, the other party will gain can abuse.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen does not need to say how pitiful and difficult Konoha's situation is, and no matter how pitiful it is, it is not for there to be change in the transaction.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart, and then forced a smile and asked. "So... what kind of items do you accept as collateral?"

He is a shopkeeper and Konoha Village has no choice but to put up with or attack Allen.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi has ordered the Anbu team several times and has never found out how Allen brought the medicine to his house.

Also, Allen can mysteriously disappear, which also makes Hiruzen Sarutobi take no action.

Although Allen is an ordinary person without chakra, he may have a sealing technique in his brain.

If he doesn't get anything, then these medicines can flow to other Shinobi villages.

"If you don't have money, you can use jewelry, jade, gold accessories, or utensils that are more than a few hundred years old, but the pricing power is mine, of course, I will not deliberately lower the price."

When Allen said the last sentence, Koharu's face turned a little ugly, he felt that Allen was referring to her because he said a high price for some houses last time.

"Or you can use the missions as collateral, I'm going to talk about business in other parts of the fire country recently, and I need some guards around me."

As for the firearms in Allen's backpack, although they can be protected at some point, it's still a bit dangerous if they come across a ninja sneak attack.

Mito suddenly asked. "Can I trade ninjutsu scrolls? There are still quite a few collected ninjutsu in Konoha."

"Ninjutsu?" Allen shook his head decisively and refused after hearing it. "Forget it, old Mito, I'm not a ninja, and the scroll of ninjutsu doesn't appeal to me as much as a blockbuster novel."

"Is that so, it's a pity..."

After Mito said these words, she stopped talking.

After Mito Uzumaki and Koharu stopped talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and said to Allen. "So Allen-san, the amount of medicine Konoha ordered this time is still the same as last time, we'll meet up later, let me show you the list of items corresponding to the offer."

"No problem, Third Hokage."

After Allen finished speaking, he was guided by an Anbu and left the Hokage building.

The medicines were stored in the warehouse behind Allen's grocery store.

Except for some off-sale medicine that would be placed in the pharmacy, the rest was enough for Konoha's needs.

In the afternoon, as soon as Allen finished eating, Anbu from Konoha invited him to the Hokage building again, this time he didn't go to the Hokage's office, but was taken to another house.

There is only Mito Uzumaki in the house, thinking about it, Hokage has many things to deal with in a day, and it is impossible to waste all the time on medicines.

"Allen-san-san, please take a look at it, this is the list."

After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, he handed Allen a list of transactions and then pointed to the box on the table.

Forty kilograms of gold, one hundred pieces of jewelry, a box of ornaments, and more than thirty pieces of ancient utensils.

When Allen saw the utensils that were more casually placed at the end, he knew that these were 'antiques' with a relatively long heritage, but he still confirmed this with Mito, and the final answer was that the heritage was long, but This thing isn't worth much even in Konoha.

At least 500 years ago, according to the records of the Senjū clan, Mito did not hide anything, these were contributed by the Senjū clan.

Apart from the relatively long inheritance, in a bowl, apart from the engraved pattern being a bit nice, it's nothing special.

However, Mito routinely set a high price for these 'antiques'.

The high price made Allen feel a bit uneasy, but he thought that the ninja world might not have something too artistic...

By bringing these things back, he may be able to fool some Japanese with some legend, to give it more mystery and value.

In addition to gold, Allen also looked at gem jewelry and the like.

Gems are not a big deal, at least from Allen's point of view, Konoha Village shouldn't have the ability to forge, Allen removed some gems with poor quality and cracks, which made Mito Uzumaki a bit annoyed.

She complained in her heart.

Fortunately, Allen didn't say anything exaggerated, otherwise, Mito would teach him a "lesson".

As for the other box that contained precious accessories, Allen opened it and looked at it, and he was sure that these items were mostly genuine because the two precious accessories had not been cleaned and had blood stains on them.

He took these two blood-stained accessories and looked at Mito, while Mito turned to look in other directions as if he was looking at the corner of the house that needed to be repaired, but Mito was still there.

Scolding Danzo in her heart, but it was a shame not to take advantage of the things that root snatched.

"Except for what I just picked, I'll probably take this, old Mito."

After Allen checked him out and confirmed that he was good, he turned around and told Mito.

As for what he didn't want, he would use the house to make up for it.

The most useful thing in Konoha has to be expanding the house where he lives.

"The next step is the number of missions commissioned..."

Mito nodded and said to Allen "Let's discuss this matter with the work team, there is a more detailed task evaluation there."

Regarding the exchanged items, Sarutobi Hiruzen can condone Koharu's actions, but the mission is Konoha's external reputation.

Whether it's Sarutobi Hiruzen or Mito Uzumaki, no one else can do anything fancy with quests.
