Chapter Forty-Nine: A Deal with Mrs. Cat!
Tian Huo stepped on the cat's steps, stepped on the carpet, and walked to Mrs. Cat's feet step by step.
Sideways, falling to the ground, shaking claws, turning belly, the movements of one ring are extremely skillful.
The pale yellow tail gently hooked the white ankle of the cat wife, rubbing back and forth around the slender ankle, and the soft cat fluff and satin-like delicate bare feet were reflected in jade.
"Hello Mrs. Cat."
Nara didn't squint and said calmly.
"I'm here to customize the forbearance."
Sniff ~ sniff ~
Mrs. Cat didn't respond to Nara Langui's words immediately, her nose fluttered, and she stretched out her index finger to scratch Tian Huo's chin.
The intimate action made the ninja cat's nose can't help but let out a comfortable "purr" sound.
"It's the smell of Kitenkate~"
Mrs. Cat withdrew her white fingers and looked at Nara with disgust and resentment.
"The little brother of the Nara family, such an expensive drink, will keep the cat's mouth in his mouth."
Nara pursed her lips and bit the tip of her tongue with this small gesture to concentrate.
"I'm just considering that most cats prefer plants like the Wood Celestial Lotus."
"It's really a child of the Nara family~"
Mrs. Cat chuckled.
"I did receive a commission for custom ninja here, what type of ninja do you want to customize?"
"Ninja Knife."
Nara Langui threw out the answer that had been prepared for a long time.
"To be precise, it's a 'little knife'."
"Knives?"
Mrs. Cat's eyes fluttered, and she replied without delay.
"Then I recommend going to the Land of Iron to commission the forging of the sword.
"The Land of Iron is rich in samurai, and they have a lot of experience in forging swords and weapons, even more so than the craftsmen of the Land of Craftsmen."
"Iron Country?"
Nara raised his eyebrows, he hadn't forgotten the great mystery of the Iron Country.
"Mrs. Cat mean, do I need to go to the Iron Country too?"
"If it's convenient, I'd suggest that Nara-kun would do well to make a trip to Iron Country.
"After all, forging weapons is no better than others, and there must be enough tacit understanding and suitability between ninjas and weapons."
Now that she is down to business, Mrs. Cat has changed to a more rigorous title.
"Of course, I know what trouble Konoha has been facing lately...... War!
"So, if Nara-kun wants to entrust me with all the work of forging the sword and supervising the forging of the knife, it won't be incomprehensible...... But in that case, the fee will be higher. β
Mrs. Cat stretched out her thumb and forefinger to create a small space.
A sly smile spilled out between his fingers, but it wasn't annoying.
"It's really inconvenient for me to leave the village."
Nara nodded.
"The task of forging knives and supervising the production should be entrusted to you, Mrs. Cat."
"No problem!"
Mrs. Cat patted her chest and swore an oath.
"Then let's discuss the specific intentions.
"The first and most important thing, what is Nara-kun's budget for weapon forging?"
It's like the same detonator.
The detonation charm with a simple structure and weak power and the detonation charm with a good texture and power are definitely two different prices.
Nara gave a figure.
"At most...... What does two million taels look like? β
Previously, he had already received a research guarantee fund totaling one million taels from the patriarch.
In order to forge a handy ninja tool, a month's worth of research funds were advanced from the patriarch in advance...... Not excessive, right?
"Two million taels!"
Mrs. Cat's purple pupils shrank slightly, and her breathing under her nose unconsciously became a little heavier.
"This budget, even if you invite the best sword forging master in the Iron Country, it is definitely more than enough!"
The point is, the more budget a guest has, the more she can extract from it.
Since leaving the Cat Village family, it is the first time that Mrs. Cat has undertaken such a large amount of single entrusted task.
"What about forging materials?"
Mrs. Cat licked her lips subconsciously.
"The Iron Country has a lot of high-quality ores.
"I can also help buy special ores from the black market...... However, there is an additional charge. β
"I'll bring my own weapons and materials."
Nara took out the scroll and opened it in front of Mrs. Cat according to the way the patriarch had opened it before.
"Chakra metal."
Bang β
With a puff of smoke, pieces of pitch-black ore appeared in front of Mrs. Cat's eyes.
Mrs. Cat's heart took a deep breath.
What kind of god of wealth is this little brother of the Nara clan!
Just these few pieces of chakra metal are worth more than a million taels!
The big money in the trench and the thick thighs must not be let go easily......
"Since it is your own material, the price of the forging knife can be reduced a lot."
Mrs. Cat wiped the corner of her lower lip without a trace.
"According to my estimates, it doesn't take a million taels at most to forge the weapon that Nara-kun wants."
"A million taels?"
Nara was a little surprised.
"Is that a little money enough?"
Nara Langui still remembers that he was about to ask the patriarch about the price of [Chakra Crystal] before, but was slapped in the face.
"...... for such a small amount of money"
Mrs. Cat clutched her heart, feeling as if she had been hurt by the invisible aura of the guest.
"Please be sure not to compare the ninja's view of money to the ordinary person's view of money.
"In addition, even for ninjas, one million taels is already the upper limit of the amount of the entrusted task."
"Okay!"
Nara Langui readily accepted Mrs. Cat's statement, and the commission amount of one million taels was completely within his psychological tolerance.
"These pieces of chakra metal are mainly used to forge small knives.
"But if there's anything left, mix them into other metals to make some special kunai."
"No problem!"
Mrs. Cat also agreed very neatly.
"For the time being, the amount of one million taels will be entrusted with the task of 'Ninja Sword Forging'.
"Before the mission begins, I also ask Nara-kun to pay one-fifth of the mission deposit in advance.
"Also, my rule here is to take five percent of the task amount as a reward, which is fine, right?"
Per cent?
Nara Langui shook his head, "Let's sign the contract directly." β
"It's really refreshing, Nara-kun!"
Mrs. Cat was so pleased with the guest's performance that she called for the ninja cat to fetch the commission scroll, and both parties made two copies.
Nara Langui handed over the chakra metal to Mrs. Cat along with the 200,000 taels as a deposit.
"How long does it take to forge a ninja sword?"
"According to my past experience, the masters of the Iron Country will not forge weapons such as small knives for more than a month."
Nara nodded, skipping the topic of "ninja sword forging" and moving on to something else.
"Mrs. Cat, I just saw a lot of ninjutsu names in the list of goods provided."
Nara looked at Mrs. Cat.
"Do you still sell ninjutsu scrolls here?"
"Of course!"
Mrs. Cat's eyes lit up, she still underestimated the big fat sheep in front of herβno, the big fat deer!
"Tian Huo, take the general outline of the product and present it to Nara-kun!"
Tian Huo turned over neatly and quickly retrieved the scroll named by Mrs. Cat.
Nara spread out the scroll and quickly rummaged through the catalogue according to his needs.
There are still quite a few types of surgery that he is currently lacking.
For example, physical arts, such as illusions, such as medical ninjutsu and the like.
However, in terms of physical arts, Nara Langui is not interested in general physical arts, although he has already obtained a C-level physical technique [Luohan Fist].
In terms of medical ninjutsu, Nara Langui can also go to Yakushi Nonoyu for advice.
As for the rest......
'Water escape! β
Nara quickly found the target ninjutsu and rummaged through the catalog.
He has five attributes, yin, earth, wind, and fire already have their own types of techniques, and they only lack water escape.
Nara Langui originally wanted to buy a B-grade Water Escape Ninjutsu scroll from Mrs. Cat.
But perhaps he was expecting too much.
The only B-grade water escape ninjutsu that Mrs. Cat offers here is called the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
It's that super swaying hand ninjutsu with forty-four seal gestures!
Even if the dried persimmon ghost shark comes, it has to shake the shark arm for half a minute to make this B-level water escape.
Nara Langui silently closed the scroll in his hand and asked Mrs. Cat.
"Mrs. Cat, do you have any advanced waterless ninjutsu here?"
ββ¦β¦β
Mrs. Cat, who had always behaved cunning and shrewd, showed a rare dazed and speechless little expression at this time.
Advanced Unprinted Water Escape Ninjutsu?
Nara, do you want to hear what you're saying?
Seeing the answer from Mrs. Cat's face, Nara Langui didn't wait for the other party's answer and decisively changed the target.
"I need to buy two illusion scrolls."
Nara handed the scroll back to Mrs. Cat.
"D-class illusion, Kasumi Servant's Technique, and Magic Narakumi's Technique."
"Two illusion scrolls, a total of fifty thousand taels."
Mrs. Cat sent another ninja cat away.
"Fifteen thousand of the Skill of the Servant of Xia, and thirty-five thousand taels of the Magic Narakumi Technique."
These two D-rank ninjutsu are very basic illusions, and there are many ninjas in Konoha Village who can use them, so the price is not expensive.
Nara paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and easily obtained these two D-class illusions.
A message pops up at this point.
[D-level technique [Kasumi Servant's Technique] detected, do you want to learn?] γ
[D-class technique [Magic: Narakumi no Technique] detected, do you want to learn it?] γ
After learning with one click, two D-class illusions appeared in the [Technique Ability] column of Nara Langui.
"One last thing."
Nara looked at Mrs. Cat.
"Mrs. Cat, is there any news about [Chakra Crystal] in the black market?"
"[Chakra Crystal]? Where did Nara-kun learn about this treasure? β
Mrs. Cat looked at Nara in amazement.
"For the sake of the transaction just now, I'll give Nara-kun a message for free.
"Recently, there has been news of a [Chakra Crystal] in the black market, but it seems to have been bought by people from the north."
