Long Live the Dowry

Zhang Miao's ability to talk nonsense was superb. Even Hiruzen, a "battle-hardened" old man, could not withstand it, let alone Rasa, who was in the prime of his life.

Hearing that Zhang Miao's bullshit about the beauty contest, his concubines, and the reward he demanded, the corner of Rasa's eyes twitched several times, and even his hands began to tremble.

"Damn, I want to hit this brat's head with a bat!"

Rasa took a few deep breaths, and then resisted the urge to throw Zhang Miao down from his office, and then looked at him coldly.

"Advisor Chiyo would never make such a request. I'm afraid that you are the one who made this request, right?"

"Correct!"

As soon as Rasa finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately gave him a thumbs up and gave him a brilliant smile.

"As expected of the father-in-law I personally selected. He is indeed intelligent!"

Rasa: "... "

"Father-in-law my ass! You actually shamelessly admit it? And what do you mean byyour personally selected father-in-law'? Should I feel honored or what?"

"I really want to bury him in the my Gold Sand!"

But in the end, Rasa gave up on this tempting idea and rubbed his temples again.

"I don't have the ability to judge the beauty of the village's women. As long as the seal is completed, I can give you a hundred tons of gold dust at any time!"

"Ah?"

Hearing Rasa's words, Zhang Miao was stunned at first and was secretly shocked.

"Damn, this guy answered too quick. It seems that I need more. No, I have to ask for more!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao hurriedly waved his hand at Rasa.

"Father-in-law, you are mistaken. In fact, the hundred tons of gold dust I just mentioned is the deposit. When the seal is completed, you have to give a thousand tons!"

Rasa: "... "

"Damn it, this guy is clearly extorting me!"

With regards to Zhang Miao's insatiable behavior, naturally, Rasa would not let him go and immediately glanced at him.

"I don't have a thousand tons of gold dust. Let's forget about the seal!"

After saying that, Rasa walked away, but just as he took a step, he felt his clothes being pulled.

"Huh?"

He turned around and saw Zhang Miao pulling at the corner of his shirt. Then, he sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, you're already an adult, yet you're still so hesitant in doing something. This is a big matter related to Sunagakure. With you like this, how can I be at ease to leave the village in your hands?"

Rasa: "…"

"Damn, when did you hand me the village?"

Just as Rasa was about to reprimand him, Zhang Miao stretched out two fingers toward him.

"Two hundred tons of gold sand. For you, this is just a small number, but think of the benefit the village would gain! You will have a stable jinchuuriki in your hands! This deal is profitable, Father-in-law!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Zhang Miao say this, Rasa thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

With his Magnetism Bloodline Limit, he could extract all the gold dust in the nearby sand. Although it was not as simple as what Zhang Miao said, it was indeed not difficult.

Two hundred tons of sand gold seemed to be a lot, but in fact, it was only a matter of half a day for him. If he could use this half a day to exchange for the ten years of stability, it was indeed a good deal.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded.

"Okay, I agree. I will ask Baki to pick you up tomorrow. After the seal is completed, I will send the gold dust over!"

"Okay, no problem!"

After the business deal was settled, Zhang Miao's smile became brilliant again. "Father-in-law is really worthy of being the good leader of Sunagakure. I am relieved to have such a wise person like you in this village!"

Rasa: "…"

"Damn it, I don't need you to worry about this village! You're just flattering me for my wealth, right?!"

Of course, Zhang Miao did not know what Rasa was thinking. Seeing his expressionless face, he immediately waved at him.

"Since there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving first. Remember to prepare 400 tons of sand gold!"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Zhang Miao was about to turn around and leave, Rasa immediately called out to him. At the same time, the veins on his forehead jumped. "We already agreed on 200 tons just now. Now you say 400 tons?"

Seeing the angry look on Rasa's face, Zhang Miao immediately sighed.

"Sigh... the 200 tons of gold dust was the price for the new Seal. The other 200 was the dowry for my wedding. Temari is also your child, right? You can't be biased. Gee, how can I trust you with the village?"

Rasa: "... "

"Damn it, I already said that I don't need your trust!"

Looking at Zhang Miao's disappointed face, the corner of Rasa's mouth twitched again, "Temari will not marry you, so there is no dowry!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Rasa's words, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows at him, "You are clearly trying to break us up. I will tell Chiyo that you bullied me. She will call her loyal followers to cause a coup. They will bring you down! Sigh… I really can't trust you with the village, can I?"

Rasa: "…"

"Damn it, is it up to you to decide whether I can be entrusted with the village!"

Obviously, Rasa would not be frightened by Zhang Miao's childish threat. The only thing he was worried about was that if he offended Chiyo, the other party might be angry at him and would refuse to help with the Seal.

After all, with Chiyo's stubbornness, she could really do this kind of thing.

"I'm losing my mind. Why should I compete with a child? It's just a brat. I can persuade him!"

Thinking of this, Rasa rubbed his temples again and nodded at Zhang Miao. "Alright, I was wrong. I will give you the dowry when you get married, okay?"

"No!" As soon as Rasa finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately rolled his eyes at him. "You must give it now. If you regret the wedding in the future, these two hundred tons of gold dust will be my mental health's fee!"

Rasa: "…"

"Damn, you're a smart one. Should I say that you are indeed worthy of being the genius that I have my eyes on?"

After being beaten down by Zhang Miao's nonsense, Rasa was already a little exhausted. He also did not want to speak with Zhang Miao anymore, so he nodded with a tired face.

"Alright, I will prepare 400 tons of gold dust. At the latest, at noon the day after tomorrow, I will send it to Advisor Chiyo. If you have anything else to say, just tell Baki!"

After saying that, Rasa's body suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a system notification sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for letting Rasa experience the fear of being dominated by his son-in-law. Obtained 7-star Kage-level, Rasa Ninja Fragment x10! Whenever the host mentioned the word 'dowry' in front of Rasa, the host will obtain 10 of his fragments!]"

"Yay! Long live the dowry!"

Hearing the system's notification, Zhang Miao immediately raised his arms and shouted. Then, he waved to Baki who was in the office behind him.

"Bakki, let's go!"

Bakii: "…"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Baki who was standing behind him opened his mouth but did not say anything.
