Chapter 468: Amatsukami’s Kindness
‘Cheap huh?’ Looking at Danzo’s doubtful face, Fujin suddenly felt that his and Shimura Danzo’s concept of money seemed to be on a completely different channel.
‘170 million Ryo may not be a very huge amount but it’s not cheap either!’ After a secret cry inside, Fujin immediately cursed, ‘Damn it, what is up with this geezer’s concept of money? Does he have a personal bank or something?’
Fujin obviously has a reason to be angry at Danzo, after all, the price of 170 million for the Chimera Jutsu was spoken after long and careful consideration.
It must not be forgotten that even Tsunade hime only asked Kuroto to pay 85 million Ryo debt in exchange to take Yui as her disciple.
In other words, the huge sum of 85 million is almost equivalent to being a Sannin’s disciple, which brings a lot of benefits, a whole lot of benefits. From learning all sorts of Ninjutsu to the special Social Status of a Sannin’s Disciple.
If calculated in reference to the bounty, the bounty of Sarutobi Asuma, one of the elite Jonin of Konoha, a former member of the Guardian 12 Shinobi, and the next heir to the position of the Patriarch of the Sarutobi Clan was only 35 million Ryo in the Cannon.
Even Shisui’s current Bounty is only 50 million Ryo, and that is when his strength has already surpassed the level of a Kage.
Not to mention that even the bounty on the Head of Hyuga Patriarch is only 100 million, which is equivalent to getting one’s hands on the Byakugan and its secrets.
Therefore, 170 million Ryo which is double what Tsunade-hime asked, 70 million Ryo more than the Bounty on the Head of Hyuga Patriarch can be considered a good sum of money for just a scroll of Chimera Jutsu.
In fact, Fujin was even thinking that his price is a bit unreasonable and Shimura Danzo might not agree to it, but the opposite party is saying, ‘Cheap?’
So, obviously, Fujin can’t help but be surprised.
Bang…
At this time, Danzo banged his crutch on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “As long as the Scroll of Chimera Jutsu in your hand is genuine, money is not a problem for the old man.”
Had it not been for maintaining the majesty and mystery of Amatsukami, Fujin really wanted to change the price to 1 billion Ryo on the spot and make a new offer.
But the price has already been said, at this time, if Fujin were to change his words, Danzo would definitely look down on Amatsukami. So, Fujin suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile, “If Shimura-san feels doubtful, he can take a look at the scroll of Chimera Jutsu first and then pay the price.”
After that Fujin took out the pre-prepared Storage Scroll from the inside of his cloak and threw it towards Shimura Danzo. He isn’t really worried that Shimura Danzo would dare to betray by not paying the price, after all, 170 million Ryo is cheap for the other party, so obviously for just a small sum of money he wouldn’t want enmity of Amatsukami, right? Because the consequences of enmity from both Akatsuki and Amatsukami can be too terrible.
Before the scroll could reach Shimura Danzo, one of the Anbu standing on the side appeared in between and caught the scroll, after checking the scroll completely and making sure that it wasn’t rigged with any booby trap, he respectfully passed it to Shimura Danzo.
‘Worried that it would be a trap? Don’t worry Shimura Danzi, you are useful to this one, so obviously this one wouldn’t kill you so early.’ Thought Fujin as he watched Danzo taking the scroll from the hands of the Root Anbu.
As soon as the scroll of Chimera Jutsu appeared in the hands of Shimura Danzo, a rare expression of excitement appeared on his face. With the crutch still in his hands, he unfolded the scroll and checked the content sealed inside it.
‘Shimura Danzo seems to have really desired Chimera Jutsu much more than this one expected.’ thought Fujin as he looked at the rare look of excitement on the face of Shimura Danzo and Fujin really felt that maybe he should have asked for a higher price.
In Fujin’s view, Chimera Jutsu does have the ability to swallow Kekkei Genkai but it is not without its hidden dangers that decrease the success rate.
Shimura Danzo may not be a researcher unlike Orochimaru and Fujin, he has been immersed in the field of Forbidden Arts for a very long time, therefore, in Fujin’s understanding he should be able to see some risks of Chimera Jutsu.
However, it turns out that Fujin has underestimated Danzo’s greed for Chimera Jutsu, or to be more precise, Danzo’s ambitions, but it’s not a bad thing for Fujin’s plan, ‘Good, the more ambitious you are, the easier it would be for this one to control you.’
On the other side, after taking a closer look at the contents of the scroll of Chimera Jutsu and then at the Chimera Bud, Shimura Danzo suppressed the joy in his head and looked at the person standing not far away, “Orochimaru, see if this scroll is genuine.”
Orochimaru who has been observing everything silently with a curious look took the scroll from Shimura Danzo’s hands and took a closer look. He soon found out that the contents of this scroll are much more detailed and more in-depth than the scroll he had obtained from Shinno back then. Obviously, Hyuga Kuroto made many improvements in this scroll as per his understanding and research of the Chimera Jutsu, so when Orochimaru read it, he became quite interested and paid more attention.
After a while of silence, he folded back the scroll and nodded, “Well it’s genuine, in fact, it’s quite advanced than the one I have.”
After getting the affirmative reply from Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo’s excitement increased. He ignored the majesty that an elder of Konoha should have, and picked up the Chimera Bud as if it is a priceless treasure.
Fujin who had his Byakugan activated the entire time looked at Shimura Danzo, there was something he was curious about, and he wanted to verify it.
In his Byakugan vision, he was able to clearly see that there are two Chakra Sources inside Danzo’s body that are constantly fighting for domination.
‘Hmm, expected.’ Thought Fujin as he looked at the two different types of Chakra signatures in Danzo’s body.
Danzo’s current body is half fire and half ice, and both fire and ice have reached a weak balance which makes him very lucky to survive.
Fujin had known about Danzo’s Sharingan and Hashirama Cells transplantation for quite a few years now, at that time Kuroto hadn’t researched Hashirama Cells and Sharingan enough so he wasn’t aware that taming Hashirama Cells and Sharingan is not so easy as it seems, and it takes years to perfectly tame them unless transplantation is at the genetic level, which is the case in Shisui.
Shimura Danzo’s case is obviously very different from Shisui’s, his transplantation is not genetic and because he is not an Uchiha so even though he may have managed to take control of Hashirama Cells; the Yin Chakra of Uchiha and the Yang Chakra of Senju are not yet combined into one and are raging for dominance.
If he were to face a dangerous battle and if either side is overdrawn then this weak balance will be disrupted and his own body will be swallowed by the other side.
Thinking of this, Fujin decided to remind Shimura Danzo, “Do not underestimate Chimera Jutsu Shimura-san, its ability to swallow flesh and blood is beyond imagination. Amatsukami has conducted its own research on this Forbidden Jutsu and we have determined that it is very difficult to control and the survival/success rate is very low. If you wish to become a perfect shinobi similar to Hiruko, then you must be fully prepared when you use it.”
Shimura Danzo did not expect Fujin to give him such a warning when he clearly didn’t have to and he looked at Fujin in a completely new light.
Orochimaru also squinted and cast his gaze on Fujin then thought, ‘Amatsukami is being such kind towards Danzo, do they really want Danzo to take the position of Hokage?’
What Fujin had said is indeed the truth, of course, it is not that he is being kind towards Danzo or care about him, it’s just that Danzo is a test subject and if he really wants to use all of Danzo’s worth then he has to give Danzo this warning.
After all, Fujin wouldn’t want to see the scene where Danzo just transplanted the Chimera Bud and died inexplicably, right?
But what Fujin didn’t expect was that Danzo actually took his warning to heart, he waved his hand and said with a warm smile, “It’s merely a Chimera Bud, worry not Fujin-dono, the old man will make them surrender.”
Fujin was stunned by the respectful tone of Danzo, ‘Huh, what suddenly happened to him? Why is he being so respectful towards this one?’
While Fujin was still recovering from the shock, Danzo turned towards the Root Anbu standing on the side and said to him, “Go and prepare the sum.”
The Root Anbu hurriedly nodded and quickly left the room. After about two minutes, he appeared back in the room with three bags and walked towards Fujin.
When two steps away, he opened the three bags to show that the bags were indeed filled with Ryo bills.
At this time, Danzo said, “This is 170 million Ryo, the price of the scroll of the Chimera Jutsu. The old man has also written down the favor of Fujin-dono and Amatsukami, the old man will certainly repay the favor.”
